Mission, Rank A!

After seeing Taichi walk away, Shiro turned around and crossed the courtyard in front of the gate.

"I'm back."

"Shiro, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like this?" Keiko saw Shiro walking in with a tired expression and immediately came forward, saying with concern.

"It's okay, Mom. You'll be fine after a couple of days of rest. Don't worry."

"Oh dear, how could you be so careless? Don't go out to eat today, stay home, I'll make you something to nourish yourself."

"Oh, Mom, no need..."

"I'm your mother, and what I say goes!"

Seeing the resolute look on his mother's face, Shiro felt a warm current flow through his heart. He decided not to go against her and said, "I understand. I'll go and rest now."

Seeing Shiro's exhausted figure, Keiko was on the verge of tears.

At that moment, Makoto walked up and hugged her. "Trust him. Shiro has always been very sensible. He won't put himself in danger."

"Hmm, honey, do you think we made a mistake by agreeing to let him become a ninja?"

"There's no mistake, didn't Shiro show his talent? Alright, stop thinking about this, let's go buy some good food, it's not often that Shiro eats with us."

"Okay, I'll go buy groceries now."

"Sigh~" Jishi sighed Makoto watched Keiko's departing figure.

How could he not worry? Shiro was also his child, and seeing Shiro's exhausted figure made him feel terrible.

However, as the head of the household, he absolutely could not show his vulnerable side to Keiko.

Makoto standing there for a while, she decided to go out and call Jiro and his family. More people would make it more lively, and Keiko might feel better.

After returning to his room, Shiro first instructed the system to temporarily block the memories brought by the Projection, and then went to sleep.

Although Shiro had rested these past two days, he had been traveling, so the effect was predictable. As a result, Shiro slept straight through until evening.

When he woke up, there were already a lot of people in the living room, not just Jiro's family, but also Sakumo and Kakashi, Kushina and Minato.

"Teacher Sakumo, and Big Sister, what brings you here?"

"Minato heard from the old man that you were injured, so we came to see you. You look quite unwell."

"Ah, I was a little too arrogant this time and used a secret technique. I didn't know the side effects would be so severe."

"This isn't like you, Shiro. You're rarely this reckless," Sakumo teased from the side.

"In the end, it's all because I was too arrogant," Shiro said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"Ha, I heard from Nakamura that you have mental fatigue, so I brought you Hatake Clan's calming medicine. I hope it helps. Just drink it once every morning."

"Yes, thank you, Professor Sakumo."

Then, Sakumo's gaze fell on Kushina.

Shiro was taken aback. "Teacher, what's wrong? Is there a problem with the boss?"

"It's alright, but girl, aren't you going to do something for my apprentice? He's your little brother, after all."

"Tch, of course there is! But the Uzumaki Clan's secret medicine is too potent; Shiro's body can't handle it," Kushina retorted first, then whispered.

"..."

Indeed, one cannot tolerate strong tonics, but Shiro believes that regardless of whether he is injured or not, that thing is still too much for Shiro to handle...

"But I brought this with me. Even though I bought it on the street, it should still work, right?"

Shiro looked at the gifts they brought, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you."

"Ha, practicing more regularly is the best reward for me."

"Hmph, I'm not that easily satisfied. If you don't bring me enough gifts on your next mission, just you wait and see!"

"Ha~" Shiro chuckled lightly, and immediately assured him, "No problem."

"Alright, alright, stop chatting and come eat."

"Okay, Mom, I'm coming. Let's go eat first."

"I'm starting!"

After a series of orderly sounds, the dining table fell silent.

In this respect, it's a bit different from Shiro's previous life. Generally speaking, at gatherings like this, unless you're eating out, no one talks.

This is different from China table, we're not there to eat, but to build relationships or discuss business, so it's much more casual.

Quiet is only required when eating at home.

To be honest, even after a year, Shiro still doesn't feel used to it. He always feels uncomfortable at this kind of dinner table if he doesn't say something, but he's sure the others don't like this kind of format.

Therefore, Shiro had no choice but to follow the crowd.

After dinner, Sakumo told Makoto his permission and then took Shiro to the study to give him some instructions.

"Sit down first."

How much do you understand about Wind Release?

"Wind Release? Hmm, I've learned that for now..."

"I'm referring to your understanding of Wind Release, not the Ninjutsu you know."

"Well, the nature of Wind Release is cutting..." After that, Shiro explained all his understanding of Wind Release.

After listening, Sakumo nodded. Overall, he was outstanding compared to his peers, but there were still some shortcomings. His understanding of him was somewhat superficial and too ordinary.

It's the kind of thing that many people know about, but few actually possess it themselves. However, considering Shiro's status, it's already quite good.

"Not bad, but you don't have anything of your own yet. I know your secret techniques are very strong, but I don't want you to only know secret techniques, so I'll also capture your Wind Release."

"The best solution is for you to independently develop a Wind Release of rank A or higher."

"Level A! How is that possible? It took me ages to learn Level B!"

"What? Is it a high goal? Don't worry, it's not like I'm asking you to achieve it right now. This is your goal before you turn sixteen. You have six or seven years, that's plenty of time."

"And take this too. These three scrolls record the Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation of Wind Release, as well as some basic knowledge of Wind Release. Don't rush to develop Ninjutsu."

"Learn these first before you think about anything else. You can ask me if you don't understand anything."

"Yes, Master."

"Let's go, that's all I need to tell you for now." With that, he got up and left the study.

In fact, Sakumo had Shiro wanted to do this, but unfortunately, he was too busy and didn't have enough time to find other ninja Projection to learn about Wind Release techniques.

Moreover, this also requires eliminating any smuggled goods by the ninjas themselves, making the task very large, which is why Shiro has been hesitant to take action.

Otherwise, he would have started research and development long ago.

The most important thing in developing a new Ninjutsu is not Ninjutsu final power, but what you learn in the process; that is the most valuable thing.

This is also why Shiro didn't seek the credit for developing the Rasengan Ninjutsu, because it wouldn't be very meaningful.

Moreover, the Rasengan isn't that useful for Shiro, which might actually make the village suspicious of Shiro, since he doesn't have the corresponding experience or skills.
