Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 612 The Difficulty of the Global Barrier

There were actually quite a lot of people. If you include those who didn't die, there were probably dozens of people. And if you had met them once, there were probably over a hundred.

It's unbelievable how many people have chosen to follow him, yet why are there always some inexplicable people who jump out to oppose him?

"You should have received the news by now. I'm going to build a Zerg-domain barrier that can cover the entire globe."

Most people were shocked after hearing this, thinking it was a fantasy. Didn't their ancestors used to care about nothing? Were they crazy?

Kakuzu quickly said, "Do you know how much energy it takes to maintain a barrier that covers the entire world? It's not just one country, not just one continent, it's the whole world! Even you..."

Most importantly, do you know how much that costs? If you're just worried about thieves, then let them steal; my supermarket supplies them regularly.

Kakuzu didn't say a single word at the end. Really, if it was just to protect against Konoha, then there was no need for that.

Based on the amount of food stolen, Konoha's population is rapidly declining. At the current rate of negative population growth, it will probably be wiped out in about 180 years.

"Not many are needed."

Aburame Shisei interrupted him, saying, "The energy needed to maintain the barrier isn't as much as you think."

Aburame Zhicheng stretched out his hand, and a golden worm crawled out of his palm, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight. "This is the Holy Sun Worm. It can absorb the solar energy in the sky and the energy of various radiation particles in the universe. This energy is everywhere and inexhaustible."

The golden insect circled once in mid-air, emitting a faint buzzing sound, indicating its competence.

Actually, he didn't know that he was food. After absorbing and converting the energy of various radiation particles, he transformed it into a high concentration of nutrients, which were then eaten by other insects.

It bypasses inefficient photosynthesis and the layers of transformation in the natural biosphere.

"I only need to deploy insect nests globally, using the Holy Sun Insect Nest as the energy center, and convert the absorbed energy into a force field to maintain the barrier."

"The barrier itself does not consume much energy; it merely alters the laws of space, continuously outputting power to counteract the teleportation."

"Although each insect has a limited lifespan, the nest automatically reproduces and replaces itself. As long as the energy supply remains constant, the nest can sustain itself. And the energy supply..."

The sun shines every day, and cosmic radiation is constant. This energy was previously wasted; now we're simply collecting it and using it where it's needed.

Kakuzu felt that this matter had great potential, and perhaps they could cooperate with Raisen Palace to create a kind of insect that absorbs solar energy and directly converts it into electricity. Once such a project is launched, it will bring in a large sum of money.

Alternatively, you could sell electric insects directly to deliver natural electricity to every household.

"Great idea, I think this has great potential."

Although the plan was terrifying, he could understand his lord's actions. Nobody likes robbers and thieves coming and going from their own home, and he didn't like it either, especially when they stole his things.

"We must protect our Lord's planet!!!" Suddenly someone raised their hand and shouted in a melodramatic manner. Everyone turned to look, and it turned out to be Belta.

It turned out to be a child, and everyone burst into laughter, making the originally serious atmosphere harmonious.

Only Beluta didn't understand why they were laughing. The planet was the Lord's property, shouldn't protecting the planet be the top priority?

In the future, they will also research spaceships, travel to other worlds to capture Otsutsuki, colonize working planets, and spread the Zerg throughout the myriad worlds!

This is what he learned from watching cartoons and comics since he was a child: let our insects spread across the stars and the sea!

No way, when Beruta grows up, this kind of thinking will probably make him dig his toes into the ground.

In the ninja world of the past, even eleven or twelve-year-olds were no longer considered children who could kill. Although Belta had killed people before, his mind was still immature.

"He really is a passionate young man," Orochimaru said, turning his head in approval.

Orochimaru turned his head, his golden vertical pupils fixed on Aburame Shisei.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would have set up a barrier covering the entire world.

He even suspected it was a fabrication, but he did know that Aburame Shisei had never been unserious.

Once an idea pops into his head, he will make it happen, no matter how many years it takes.

Take, for example, the soul resurrection ninjutsu from last time.

"I always thought I was crazy enough. I pursued immortality, researched forbidden arts, and touched taboos that mortals dared not touch. But compared to you, my madness seems so petty."

"However, your anti-flight barrier can't stop everyone. The larger the area, the weaker the effect in the early stages. It might take many generations of bugs to become effective. And you said there's no consumption, but even the boundary bugs consume a lot. Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry, we have plenty of time..."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm just taking precautions in advance and clearing out any remaining space around me."

"And at least it lets me know who is moving, from where, and where they are going."

The barrier's function isn't to completely seal off space, but rather to leave a trace of every spatial fluctuation. At that time…

"At that time, no one will be able to appear before me silently and disappear without a trace."

Orochimaru nodded, as if processing this information. Then, he said something that surprised everyone.

"Is there anything we can help you with?"

"Help me collect information on global landform movements, ocean currents, continental waterways, and the energy flow of rivers and mountains. Then help me gather some people skilled in sealing techniques, preferably those who can accept natural energy sealing techniques, so I can create a massive barrier."

Everyone was surprised to find that the details were actually quite complicated.

We thought this thing was just about spreading insects all over the world and connecting them together, right? There were actually so many complicated steps involved!

"So, what do you think?" Some of the highly intelligent people looked at the stunned crowd with disdain.

"Otherwise, why would I say this is a very difficult project to complete?" Kakuzu added from the side, "Because the more you know, the more you realize how complicated it is."

Think back to the era of ninja villages, how many villages were capable of building barriers to protect themselves?

Moreover, most nodules have simple capabilities and are almost useless except for early warning; only a very few villages have some defensive capabilities.

The remaining 70% of the villages didn't even know what a barrier was.

"Let's get everyone moving, we don't have enough people."
