Emiya Shirou Template

"Director, I want to learn how to cook."

After returning to the Konoha Orphanage, Natsuki found the director, Mayu.

He wanted to see if he could trigger a new template.

"I want to learn too."

Seeing this, Yakushi Nonō quickly spoke up.

"Then we shall start with the simplest thing: a Sunny-side up Egg."

Mayu did not refuse.

In fact, once the orphans at the Konoha Orphanage grew a bit older, she would teach them how to cook.

Children without parents have to take charge of their own lives early.

Furthermore, the Konoha Orphanage would not support them for their entire lives; once they turned twelve, they would have to leave.

In his previous life, one was considered an adult at eighteen, but in the ninja world, twelve was the age.

Because this world was so cruel, even four-year-old children could be sent to the battlefield to kill.

Mayu explained the process while frying the egg.

Once she finished, it was Natsuki's turn.

He imitated Mayu's steps and quickly completed a Sunny-side up Egg.

[You have awakened the Emiya Shirou template.]

Natsuki couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What kind of luck was this?

Don't be afraid, the hero is here!

Natsuki hurriedly looked at the Emiya Shirou template.

[Name: Emiya Shirou.]

[Period: First year of high school.]

[World: Fate/stay night.]

[Rank: C-rank.]

[Ability 1: Cooking, unlocked.]

[Effect: Exceptional culinary skills, especially proficient in Japanese cuisine.]

[Ability 2: Reinforcement Magic, locked.]

[Effect: Grasp the material and composition of an object, injecting chakra to temporarily enhance it.]

[Unlock Condition: Achieve first place in a ninja tool throwing test once.]

[Ability 3: Projection Magic, locked.]

[Effect: Use chakra to project and replicate items that exist in reality.]

[Unlock Condition: Master the usage of five types of ninja tools, reaching the introductory level.]

After reading through it, Natsuki couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.

Because there was no Unlimited Blade Works.

But that was normal.

The difficulty of triggering it and the strength of the template were clearly proportional.

The fact that he triggered a new template just by cooking was practically effortless.

Natsuki looked carefully and confirmed why it was C-rank.

Because this was Emiya Shirou during his first year of high school.

In the original work, he participated in the Holy Grail War during his second year and mastered Unlimited Blade Works.

Natsuki was not disappointed; he was already pleasantly surprised.

Even if he had Unlimited Blade Works now, he wouldn't have enough chakra to use it.

Unlimited Blade Works, simply put, is the creation of a Reality Marble where one can replicate countless swords.

If localized for the Naruto world, it could be described as a sword-based version of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Natsuki fell into deep thought.

The Emiya Shirou template was, on the whole, quite good.

Especially the Reinforcement Magic and Projection Magic.

Reinforcement Magic could not only strengthen ninja tools but also strengthen his own body.

This would allow Natsuki to gain an advantage in ninja combat.

Of course, Reinforcement Magic is only a C-rank ability after all, so the extent of the enhancement won't be particularly heaven-defying.

Natsuki values Projection Magic more.

One reason is that it is related to Unlimited Blade Works.

The second reason is that it can save Natsuki money.

Being a ninja is an expensive profession.

The consumption of ninja tools accounts for the lion's share of those costs.

Besides that, there are quite a few powerful ninjas who are famous for relying on their ninja tools.

For example, White Fang of Konoha Hatake Sakumo and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure.

With Projection Magic, Natsuki can more conveniently learn ninja tool throwing techniques, swordsmanship, or blade techniques.

If his potential was previously limited to that of a Chunin, it can now reach roughly that of a Special Jonin.

The unlock conditions for the two abilities are not particularly troublesome.

Mastering the usage of five types of ninja tools can be achieved through time and practice.

To obtain first place in the ninja tool throwing test, he will have to rely on the second ability of the Conan Template: the Anesthetic Needle.

When the time comes, he can coat his ninja tools with anesthetic, allowing him to hit his mark with near-perfect accuracy.

And getting first place in the ninja tool throwing test is nothing major; it won't attract too much attention from Shimura Danzō.

The next day, at dawn.

Natsuki woke up two hours earlier than usual.

He is preparing for the physical fitness test, striving to enter the top ten as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the system didn't specify which physical fitness test it had to be, so he still has plenty of time.

"Although I didn't see Konoha at four in the morning, I did see Konoha at five in the morning."

Natsuki flexed his elbows, doing some warm-ups.

Once he finished warming up, he began to run around Konoha.

It must be said that compared to his previous life, his current body possesses superhuman physical qualities.

In fact, it is true; people in the ninja world have an extra hundred trillion cells, reaching a staggering one hundred and thirty trillion cells.

It is precisely this massive number of cells that can generate physical energy, which, when combined with spiritual energy, can be converted into Chakra.

In the official novels, it was once mentioned that Rock Lee ran around Konoha eight hundred and sixty-four times in one night.

What a part-time poet!

But Natsuki is clearly not that much of a freak yet.

He isn't even a fraction of Rock Lee's level, not even exceeding sixty-four laps.

After Natsuki finished running, he went back to take a shower, then went to the Ninja Academy with Yakushi Nonō.

By the afternoon, the class he was interested in arrived: ninja tool throwing.

As a ninja, ninja tools are essential.

Every ninja has a ninja tool pouch at their waist, used for storing Kunai, Shuriken, and other such tools.

Although it turned into a legend of eyes and giant mechs fighting each other in the late stages, it is still very useful for most ninjas.

Because, with a few exceptions, ninjas generally have high attack power but low defense—they are glass cannons.

Of course, the most important thing is that Natsuki just obtained the Emiya Shirou template, and he needs to master five types of ninja tools.

There are many types of ninja tools, the three most common being Kunai, Shuriken, and Senbon.

Shuriken are hollow darts, purely for throwing.

Kunai are shaped like daggers or short swords; they can be thrown or used in close-quarters combat.

Senbon are ninja tools as thin as needles; compared to Shuriken and Kunai, they are much more stealthy.

Natsuki thought for a moment.

Besides these three, he still needs to add two more.

Swords can count as one type of ninja tool; in the ninja world, swords and blades are not separated.

For the last type of ninja tool, he chose Caltrops, which are diamond-shaped tools scattered on the ground.

Today's lesson was on Kunai.

After Ishida Yu finished his explanation, Natsuki took the Kunai and looked at the fixed target not far away.

Just then, the sound of many girls screaming reached his ears.

Natsuki turned his head and saw the Kunai thrown by Namikaze Minato easily hit the bullseye.

Combined with the warm, sun-like smile on his face, it is only natural that he would attract the attention of the girls.

Although Natsuki is not inferior to him in appearance, he is not outstanding enough beyond his specialties.

He withdrew his gaze and threw the Kunai in his hand with force.

With a sharp thud.

The Kunai hit the stationary target, but it was still four or five centimeters away from the bullseye.

"It's already quite good to be able to hit a stationary target on your first try."

Ishida Yu offered him a word of encouragement, then finally let his gaze fall upon Namikaze Minato.

He nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself that it seemed a genius had appeared among them.
