Ye Lan, an inheritor of the Miaojiang art of poison and gu, dies by electrocution and transmigrates into the Hokage world, becoming a member of the Aburame Clan. Drawing on his memories of a past life, he combines strange gu techniques with chakra, disguises them as the clan's secret arts, and secretly raises countless bizarre gu. To avoid Danzo's scrutiny, he lies low for years and quietly grows stronger.
When war once again engulfs the shinobi world, the hidden dragon finally emerges from the abyss. Swarms of insects sweep across the battlefield, and strange gu wreak havoc throughout the shinobi world. Once-overlooked members of the Aburame Clan will use the Way of Gu to sweep aside Kage-level opponents, stand alongside the Six Paths, and ultimately surpass the shinobi world to become masters of the universe.
