Brother Tu's Bag of Rice!
Another day passed, and finally, the sealing ceremony for the Shrine Maiden was ready. Shiro and the others were on their way to the palace meeting room.
It's worth mentioning that after these four days of training, Mizuki and the others have made great progress. With more missions and experience, they can consider being promoted to Chunin.
This progress is already quite good, considering that Shiro and the others are only Chunin at the moment, just with more trump cards, so they can barely be considered Special Jonin.
Therefore, it can be said that Shiro and his team have essentially completed half of their two objectives for this mission.
After being reprimanded by Nakamura, Mizuki and the others performed very well for the next three days. Although people from other villages also made progress, they were definitely not as good as Mizuki and the others.
Especially after Mizuki inexplicably awakened her Sharingan can be considered the number one cheat in Hokage, usable all the way to the finale, with upgraded versions appearing one after another.
What's most infuriating is that each version makes it a cut above others at the same level.
Therefore, the village has now regained its reputation, and the main task now is to complete the request from the Land of Demons.
Soon, the group was led by the Shrine Maiden's guards to another meeting room. Upon entering, they could see a huge map on the table in front of the Shrine Maiden.
"Shrine Maiden lady, I apologize for keeping you waiting." As the strongest among the Five Great Nations, Nakamura stepped forward without hesitation, representing the other nations in greeting the Shrine Maiden.
"It's alright, I'll have to trouble you all again this time."
"Shrine Maiden lady, let's skip the formalities and get straight to the point." It was the leader of the Cloud Village who spoke, and judging from his tone, Shiro seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with Representative Nakamura.
However, his strength clearly didn't allow him to show it.
"I apologize, it was my oversight. Please look, the location of the Moryo is right here." The Shrine Maiden approached the table and pointed to a point on the map.
"There seem to be a lot of puppets here; it'll be difficult to break through."
"The main problem is that they are recovering too quickly; we might be trapped inside."
"That's right. Too few people might not be enough to deal with the Moryo, while too many people would make movement difficult and cause some trouble."
"And shouldn't the Shrine Maiden come in with us?" Shikaki asked, having overheard their discussion.
"Yes, only in this way can it be sealed, which is why we are asking for your help."
"That's troublesome. We probably can't handle it; there are too many of them. If it were just us, getting in would be relatively easy, but taking you along would be..."
Although the leader of the Sunagakure Village didn't say the rest, everyone knew what he meant. Clearly, they valued their own people more than the country itself.
However, it wasn't just them; several other villages also intended to evacuate. Although they were capable of completing the task, some losses were inevitable.
Moreover, they are unlikely to unite against the enemy, and the possibility of a mishap is very high.
Therefore, seeing everyone's reaction, the Shrine Maiden lowered her head slightly. Although she was somewhat sad, this was her destiny, and it was understandable that others did not help her.
Seeing this, Shiro became a little anxious. What was the point of fighting if they retreated? He had finally encountered an opportunity to change his predetermined fate, how could Shiro be willing to give it up?
Although Shiro didn't know whether changing it was good or bad, none of that mattered, because that future was not the future Shiro wanted!
"What if I could eliminate all the puppets in an instant?"
With Shiro's words, the slight disturbance in the conference room ceased, and it became completely silent.
However, upon seeing that it was Shiro who spoke, the leader of the Cloud Village immediately burst into laughter. "Hahaha, kid, you'd better stay in your dreams, lest you embarrass yourself in public."
Upon hearing this, Shiro wasn't angry. After all, he already knew about Cloud Village's fiery temper, and besides, Shiro's age didn't really make him convincing.
"It's fine, there's no risk involved, why not give it a try? What if it works?"
"Are you serious, kid?"
"Of course!" Shiro met the gaze of the squinting Cloud Ninja without flinching.
"Alright, then let you give it a try. But let me make this clear: if you fail, we will leave immediately. Do you have any objections, Shrine Maiden?"
"I am extremely grateful."
"In that case, let's take a look."
The other villages echoed this sentiment, since now that someone had taken the blame, they had a much better reason to leave.
In reality, this was a last resort for Shiro, as this experiment was extremely important to him.
Shiro was actually learning Magecraft, not Ninjutsu; it was just that the system had modified it. But its essence was still Magecraft. So, this means that the will of the world may indeed exist, although judging from these phenomena...
The world's will in Hokage is relatively weak, but even so, it's still stronger than Shiro's. Therefore, Shiro wants to use this incident to verify one thing: whether the future can truly be changed!
This is very important for Shiro's next plan!
Now is a very good opportunity. Shiro vaguely remembered that in the original work, Shion seemed to have said that every generation of Shrine Maiden paid the price of their lives to seal away the Moryo.
So now Shiro wants to try and see if he can prevent the Shrine Maiden's death!
Shiro can't change the course of the world, but Shiro also has his own tragedy that he wants to undo. Whether he succeeds or not depends on this!
After each village expressed their stance, they began to discuss what to do after Shiro dealt with the puppets. After all, judging from the current situation, the puppets were recovering at a considerable rate, and there would definitely not be enough time to discuss a battle plan.
Before long, Nakamura had reached an agreement. Actually, they didn't discuss much; they just assigned the order and combination of attacks.
Before they departed, the leader of the Cloud Village said again, "Kid, it's not too late to regret it now, but if you fail, your reputation will be completely ruined!"
"Heh, you don't need to worry about that. After this battle, my reputation will definitely be even more renowned!"
"That's ambitious! I look forward to seeing how you do!" With that, he turned and walked away.
"Shiro, are you really confident?" Taichi asked worriedly on the way.
Shiro touched his right hand and said confidently, "Don't worry, this move has been in preparation for a whole year! I have faith in it!"
Before long, Shiro and his companions arrived at the north wall. Behind the numerous puppets in front of them was the location of the Moryo!
Currently, because the Shrine Maiden arrived first, the puppets from the other three directions have all converged on the north wall. If it weren't for the barrier, this place would have been breached long ago.
"Alright, kid, it's your turn to perform."
Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Shiro walked to the wall, looked at the swarm of puppets below the city, Shiro rolled up his sleeves.
The Magic Crest on my right forearm is slowly lighting up.
"Sade, feel the rice from Brother Tu!"
Shiro clasped his hands together, gathered his strength for a few seconds, and then suddenly unleashed it!
"Projection, begin!"
Hmm, I can't find anything to say, so please give me some recommendation votes! (ω)
