Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 561 Knowing the Truth Yet Deceiving

"I'm sorry, Deepa, I lied to you. But only in this way can you know that the enemy is invincible, and perhaps then you can forget your hatred."

Kakashi looked at the puppy, who was in a state of self-destruction, and thought to himself.

Deepa lowered his head, muttering to himself, "Invincible, invincible..."

He could no longer hold on and fell into a deep coma. Kakashi picked up the puppy and returned to the village.

The people who were training saw him carrying the puppy and immediately surrounded him.

"Wow, what an adorable puppy!" Yamanaka Ino exclaimed first. She raised her hands and carefully bent down slightly. At that moment, Deepa seemed to awaken, extending its paw and saying, "Would you like to touch my paw pads?"

"Of course I'm willing." Ino reached out and touched his paw pad. Deepa's mood improved, thinking: That's great, there's actually someone willing to touch my paw pad, there's actually someone willing to like me.

The puppy's face was filled with sadness, and Ino quickly sensed something was wrong, turning to look at Kakashi.

Kakashi Hatake put the puppy aside to let it rest and recover before turning around and telling everyone the truth.

"What? It was the Otsutsuki clan who did this! Why do they persecute the Summoning World? Why do they persecute Summoning Beasts?!" Kiba Inuzuka, upon learning the truth, was filled with righteous indignation and became furious first.

Unfortunately, no one could answer his question, because they didn't understand the reason either. Could it be that what Aburame Shisei said was true, that the divine tree grows by absorbing the power of living beings?

Logically speaking, shouldn't the first to have their power reclaimed be the humans who possess chakra? Why didn't they go after Shisei Aburame?

Children don't understand, but adults do. As the saying goes, pick the softest persimmon first, and right now, the summoned beasts of the ninja world are isolated and helpless, making them the easiest targets.

"Kakashi, why don't you tell him the truth?"

Kakashi replied, "He doesn't know how powerful the Otsutsuki are, but he knows perfectly well how powerful the Insect Demon is. So only by creating an invincible enemy for him will he be able to let go of his hatred."

In truth, weren't he also saying this to himself and to everyone present? With their current strength, could they really defeat the Insect Demon? Probably not.

"Alright, everyone, let's stop discussing this and go cultivate."

With Kakashi speaking, everyone, despite their anger, could only disperse and go back to their training.

Kakashi looked at the more than one hundred young ninjas on the training ground and couldn't help but shake his head.

Although Konoha has changed its teaching strategy in recent years, coupled with the resources it has acquired from the outside world, it is undeniable that the overall strength of Konoha's new generation of ninjas far surpasses that of their peers in all previous eras.

But so what?

The knowledge from the outside world is difficult to understand, and its systems are clearly divided: the Five Elements Ninjutsu System, the Sealing Technique System, the Ghost Spirit Ninjutsu System, the Medical Ninjutsu System, the Dark Medical Ninjutsu System, as well as the Body Modification System and a special scientific extension system. I recently heard that a Space System has also been specially branched out.

It is no exaggeration to say that while the combat skills of young ninjas from the outside world may not be stronger than theirs, their knowledge reserves far exceed theirs.

It's not that Konoha's children aren't smart enough, but rather that Konoha's teaching resources are currently inadequate. They lack teachers who are proficient in these ninjutsu systems; all they can teach are basic techniques and incomplete textbooks plundered from outside.

"So most people only reach the Genin level?" He glanced at the crowd, his face expressionless. He knew very well that the Ninja Academy selection tournament was just around the corner.

Of these people, at most only twenty will be able to enter the intermediate ninja class and learn more advanced ninjutsu. The higher the expectations of the Konoha people, the greater their disappointment will be.

"Never mind, I'll just tell the Hokage about the Summoning World." Kakashi said, then vanished in a flash.

However, the Shell Organization's conquest plan continues. After the Dog Clan comes the Ape Clan, and after the Ape Clan comes the Spirit Cat Clan.

Even until their demise, the Monkey King clan never understood why people in the ninja world no longer use conventional summoning techniques, which meant they never found a human to send messages to.

"Is the heavens going to destroy my Ape Demon clan!" The newly appointed young patriarch of the Ape Demon clan, clad in armor, watched as his clansmen were entangled in vines and dragged up trees. He unleashed astonishing potential and struck the sky with his staff.

The monk floating above him simply raised his hand and pressed down, and his body was sent flying backward as if crushed by a giant mountain, leaving a huge five-finger print on the ground beneath him.

"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!" shouted the young chieftain of the ape demon clan, but all he received in response were vines that wrapped around him, and in the end he was hung upside down on the tree like a mummy.

The entire Ape Demon clan has been wiped out!

Granny Cat spent her entire life making deals; her Spirit Cat clan only cared about money, not people. If there was any close relationship, it was probably with the previous generation of the Uchiha clan, but after the Uchiha clan's demise, the two sides ceased all contact.

But today, when a continent crashed in, countless cats felt the violent tremors from underground.

"Oh no! Oh no, Granny Cat! There's a tree! There's a tree..."

Many black and white cats fled in panic.

However, the spirit cat race is physically weak, and the emergence of strong individuals within the race is entirely due to the large size of the race and their early dependence on humans.

However, even the strongest among them is only at the Quasi-Kage level, and there's a lot of exaggeration involved.

Grandma Cat was old and her eyesight was failing, but when she saw the familiar vines and strips of cloth, her mind cleared instantly, as if she were recalling some terrible past events. Her body trembled and shrank into the corner.

"Otsutsuki! The Otsutsuki clan has arrived again!"

"Grandma, Grandma, what's wrong?" The tabby cat boy shook his grandma, finally pulling her back from her fear.

"Grandson, go and contact the Uchiha clan! Use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to go to them, and don't come back!" Granny Cat shoved her grandson aside, then stood in front of him, raising her hand and tearing the cloth bag that was wrapped around her to shreds.

"Fortunately, it's just a nascent sapling, not invincible." Granny Cat was overjoyed. However, before she could rejoice for long, everything suddenly went black, and she was enveloped by the monk's Great Black Heaven.

When she was released again, she was already a corpse.

"grandmother!"

The tabby cat cried as it ran wildly on all fours, and finally, with the help of its elders, managed to break through the barrier and leave its home.

When he woke up again, he was in Konoha, at the Uchiha clan's Naga Shrine.

He vaguely saw a figure: "Sasuke..."
