And so, Shiro listened to Sakumo's instructions and studied the Magecraft Scroll along the way, and a day later, Shiro and the others returned to the village.

Upon returning, Shiro didn't rush to the hospital. Instead, he went to report the mission to Nakamura and the Nakamura, since he was the one who ultimately killed the Moryo in this mission.

The Hokage's office.

"Lord Hokage, this is the information for this mission."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." The Third Hokage took the scroll from Nakamura, smiled, and then said, "What are your thoughts on the Moryo mentioned in the intelligence report?"

"Moryo? It's troublesome. Although it doesn't have any powerful offensive capabilities, it has strong regenerative abilities and a lot of Chakra. The most troublesome thing is that it can control a large number of puppets."

"Hmm, the intelligence mentioned that it won't die. Can you confirm that?"

"I'm not sure. This information was provided by the Land of Demons, so we can't verify it. However, judging from the Shrine Maiden's attitude, it should be true."

"I see, I understand. That's settled then." With that, the Third Hokage put away his serious expression and put on a kind smile as he spoke to Shiro and the others.

"Due to insufficient intelligence, this mission was mistakenly classified as Rank A, but it is actually Rank S."

"However, this mission is clearly divided into two parts with a huge difference in difficulty, so we discussed it and decided that, apart from Emiya Shiro, the rest of the two teams will be paid according to the B-Rank Mission."

"Since Emiya Shiro participated in the final operation and performed exceptionally well, he and Heiichi Nakamura will both be ranked S-class. Any objections?"

"Thank you, Lord Hokage. We have no objections."

"Well, that's excellent. You all performed well in this mission. Except for Emiya Shiro, the rest of you can choose a B-rank Ninjutsu or a ninja tool of equivalent value."

"Nakamura, Heiichi, and Shiro, please stay. The rest of you may leave."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

After saying that, Taichi and the others left the Hokage's office. They guessed that there must be some special reward for Shiro, but they weren't dissatisfied, since they had seen Shiro's contributions.

At most, Takeda was a little envious; after all, as a commoner himself, he also wanted to be valued.

As for the others, they didn't have any particular thoughts. Taichi and Mizuki were both from the Uchiha, and they preferred to be valued by their clans rather than by the village, since only their clans truly understood how to use the Sharingan.

Shikaki and Hikari are similar. The Nara Clan are staunch supporters of the Hokage. As long as they demonstrate talent, they are not afraid of not being valued. Hikari is the same. As long as her strength increases, her family will naturally make arrangements for her.

However, Takeda was merely envious, not jealous. After all, he had witnessed Shiro's enthusiasm for training; he wasn't a child anymore, and this only fueled his own ambition.

After all, they were both from commoner backgrounds. If Shiro was able to gain the village's attention by relying on his outstanding talent, then it means that he could do the same, as long as he had enough strength!

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.

"Shiro, you should know something about the situation of Jinchuriki, right?"

"Yes, my master told me about it. What's wrong, Lord Hokage?"

Regarding the matter of Jinchuriki, Shiro took the opportunity to ask Sakumo after becoming his Sakumo. After all, if Shiro couldn't obtain the Tailed Beast Chakra in the future, he would have no choice but to target the Nine-Tails.

Therefore, Shiro asking Sakumo so early on is a way of being on the safe side.

"You have the most direct connection with the Moryo among all of them, and I remember that your secret technique is best at Analysis. So, tell me, can the Jinchuriki Moryo?"

"Huh?!" Shiro's pupils shrank. To be honest, he had never thought about this question before, because in the fanfiction he read in his previous life, this guy was basically looked down upon, and the Dragon Vein was valued more.

In addition, so much time has passed that Shiro has long forgotten that Moryo can also Jinchuriki.

Therefore, upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Shiro paused for a moment, and then began to think about it seriously.

After a long pause, Shiro shook his head and said, "No, the Chakra of the Moryo is too evil to me, and its influence is extremely strong; it's very easy to be affected by it."

"But Tailed Beast Chakra is also a symbol of evil, is that not allowed either?"

"No, I sensed it from the Jinchuriki," Shiro started to say, but after glancing at Nakamura Heiichi, he changed his mind and said, "I sensed it from the Jinchuriki."

"The reason why Tailed Beast Chakra is perceived as evil is because it is too violent and has a strong corrosive effect on the human body, but in reality, it is not that evil."

"It's just that the nature of our human Chakra is different. Like the Blue Snake, the stronger its Chakra becomes, the more evil it feels to me."

"However, the Moryo are different from them. To seal them into Jinchuriki, I estimate we would need to research a special Sealing Jutsu technique."

"Furthermore, the requirements for the container are very high, which is probably why the Land of Demons has not sealed the Jinchuriki into Moryo for so many years."

"Hmm." After listening, the Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette and asked Nakamura, "Nakamura, I remember you fought against Tailed Beast. Do you think there's any difference between the two?"

Upon hearing this, Shiro looked at Nakamura in surprise. He hadn't expected Nakamura to have such a legendary experience, which was much more exciting than when Shiro and his companions "fought" Hanzo.

"Hearing what Shiro said, the two do indeed feel different, but one thing is certain: the Moryo is not as strong as the Tailed Beast."

"I see. Well then, that's settled then. I won't say any more. Shiro, here, these are the Ninjutsu I prepared for you. If you have any questions when we get back, you can ask Sakumo."

"You can come and ask me when he's not around. Focus on your cultivation; you are the future of the village."

"Thank you, Lord Hokage. I'll take my leave now." Shiro accepted the scroll, and seeing that Hokage had nothing else to say, he thanked him and left the Hokage's office.

After leaving, Shiro put the scroll away. He planned to check what kind of Ninjutsu it was when he got back, and if it wouldn't have much of an impact, he would save it for later practice.

There's too much to train right now, and the combat system isn't even fully formed yet, so it's not appropriate to add anything else that's not important. But before going home, I need to go to the hospital and have a professional check my injuries.

Your own intuition is ultimately unreliable, and this broken system doesn't even have the detection function. After the repair, the technology tree has been developed in a rather skewed way.

After Shiro left, the Third Hokage asked Nakamura Heiichi, "How did they perform on this mission?"

The two knew that this wasn't about talent; simply being able to participate in this mission was enough. The Third Hokage was asking about something more important.

Heiichi spoke first, saying, "Takeda has good talent in this area, and his temperament is also very good. Moreover, his family is from Konoha, so there shouldn't be any worries. Hikari is the same. However, Mizuki has awakened her Sharingan."

As a member of the Mito clan and Jonin, Heiichi was naturally aware of the village's attitude. However, since Mizuki was his student, he only mentioned it briefly, and the Third Hokage would consider the rest.
