Magic Crest

"A familiar ceiling... I think that's the word?" That was Shiro's first thought upon waking up, which also proved that Shiro was alright and still the same goofy guy.

"You're awake, Shiro?"

"Mom? What are you doing here?" Shiro remembered that he had told Kushina and the others not to tell his mother.

"Last night, your Aunt Gardenia and I came to the hospital to visit a friend, and we ended up seeing you here. Why can't you just give us a break?"

"Well, everything's fine, isn't it? Don't worry, I know what's good for your son."

"By the way, Mom, how long have I been asleep?"

"It won't be long, just one night. What, are you still going to train?" Keiko frowned as she heard Shiro's words.

"No, no, I'm just estimating the time."

"It's best if that's not the case. The doctor already said you should rest more and avoid moving around too much."

"Okay, Mom."

"Oh, you're awake. How are you feeling?" At that moment, Sakumo walked in.

"Teacher, I'm much better now."

"Shiro, Lord Sakumo, you two talk first, I'll go prepare some food." Keiko that Sakumo and Shiro had something to discuss, Keiko made an excuse to leave.

"Okay, Mom, be careful."

"Knew."

"Ha, your mom is really good to you. I heard she's been waiting here since last night."

"Ah, it's very good. But too good. They always treat me like a child."

"Heh, but you're just a child. How old do you think you are?" Sakumo chuckled upon hearing this.

To this, Shiro could only shrug helplessly. He couldn't very well tell them that he was a time traveler, could he?

"Alright. Let's not talk about this anymore. How does it feel? I made you go through all that trouble to get this done."

"Ha, this feels great!" With that, Shiro raised his right arm and looked at the Magic Crest emitting blue light.

"What's it for?" Sakumo asked curiously, looking at Shiro's right hand.

"It's very useful. First, it can enhance my secret techniques to a certain extent, and the degree of enhancement will increase as the Crest is optimized."

"Secondly, it can store a large amount of Chakra in advance, which can be used when needed!"

"Finally, and this is what I'm most satisfied with, its optimization improves along with my mastery of the secret techniques; I don't need to deliberately study it."

"That's about it. We haven't figured out anything else yet."

"That's really impressive, but it also has quite a few limitations. I don't think it's usable by others?"

"That's right. The structure of Chakra Pathways is different, so others can't use them. It's the same reason why I can't use Ninjutsu of other elements."

"Shiro? You're awake?!"

At that moment, Kushina and Minato entered and saw Shiro awake. Kushina rushed over happily, hugged Shiro, and said, "I was so worried about you! You little rascal!"

"I'm fine, boss, let me go." As he spoke, Shiro winked at Minato, signaling him to quickly pull his wife away.

Who knew this coward would wave his hands and not dare to come closer!

Just as Shiro was about to forcefully push her away, Shiro heard Kushina sobbing. His hand changed from pushing to hugging. "Fine, let my future wife suffer a little."

"You bastard, Shiro! Why did you do something so dangerous?! Why didn't you just accept my protection? Why did you have to take such a risk? Do you know how worried your sister was?"

"Ah, I understand, I won't do it again, I promise! Also, you're not the only one here, how long are you going to keep hugging me?"

"Hmph, he's my own brother, I can hug him as long as I want!"

"Yes, yes, you're right, but if you keep hugging him, Minato- nii will turn into Green Flash." Seeing that Kushina's emotions had stabilized a bit, Shiro started joking with her to ease the atmosphere.

Upon hearing this, Kushina released Shiro, saying, "Tch, it's an honor for you that I hugged you! I don't hug just anyone!"

Kushina got angry when she saw Shiro's disgusted look!

"Haha, alright, stop fooling around, Shiro. Would you mind telling us about this? Don't misunderstand, I'm just a little curious. If it's inconvenient, then never mind."

Minato didn't really want to ask, as it was a bit impolite, but Kushina really wanted to know, fearing it might affect Shiro. Given the current situation, Kushina definitely couldn't bring herself to ask.

Therefore, this task can only be handled by Minato.

"It's alright. If I don't even trust you all, who else in this world can I trust?"

After that, Shiro repeated what he had just said to Minato.

However, there was one thing that Shiro didn't mention, because it would involve another of his secrets, which was inconvenient.

That is the Magic Crest's ability to break through the limits of Shiro's Projection Magecraft!

Simply put, it's because Shiro's Magic Crest records Shiro Projection Magecraft and Reinforcement Magecraft that Shiro can briefly Projection Noble Phantasm that exceed his current limits!

For example, if Shiro's current limit is a C-rank Noble Phantasm, then after activating the Magic Crest, he can Projection a B-rank Noble Phantasm. Although it cannot be used for combat, it will greatly help Shiro's plan.

Because Shiro can finally Projection Li Shuwen's divine spear! Thus, he can begin to practice Baji Quan! Making up for his last weakness! (Don't criticize, Baji Quan is quite famous in Type-Moon.)

Previously, Shiro was too ambitious but lacked practical skills and didn't want to learn the Taijutsu of the Shinobi World. Moreover, he couldn't learn the Baji Quan recorded in the system by himself. Therefore, Shiro had been stagnant in Taijutsu.

He didn't want to compromise, but this was a particularly important aspect, so Shiro had been hesitant about whether to give up Baji Quan. But now, the Magic Crest has solved Shiro's dilemma.

In the following days, Shiro followed his mother's instructions and stayed in the hospital, not going out to practice his spiritual cultivation.

However, this is all on the surface. How could Shiro possibly complain? It was fine when his mother was around, but once Keiko left, Shiro began to study Magic Crest.

Try to become familiar with the Magic Crest in a short time so that you can activate it as quickly as possible when needed!

In addition, every night, Shiro would Projection the Rule Breaker, using Medea's skills to create Mana Crystal.

Mana Crystal are products of highly concentrated Mana condensed and materialized; some high-level Mana Crystal can even be considered materialized Heroic Spirit!

Of course, Shiro couldn't make such high-end goods, but this simple one was no challenge for Shiro, who was bound to break the rules by Projection the Rule Breaker.

At the same time, Shiro doesn't need such high-end items, since he only uses them to replenish the magic Mana of his Magic Crest.

Unfortunately, Shiro found that the condensation speed was very slow. After going to Shiro Ryūchi Cave and comparing the results, he discovered that this was due to the Leyline.
