The Terrifying Snake Aunt
"However, by then I had basically mastered the skills taught in school, such as Shuriken."
After saying that, Shiro, seeing their disdainful looks, said nothing. Instead, he took out several Shuriken, walked to the target, and said, "Actions speak louder than words, if you can't talk your way out of it."
They all looked at Shiro with curiosity, wanting to know just how strong his Shuriken was, that he dared to boast about it. After all, if it was just hitting the bullseye, most of the students in the class could do it.
At first, they were dismissive of Shiro's casual throwing motions, thinking he was just a beginner. But then, with a series of clanging sounds, all of Shiro's Shuriken deviated from their original trajectory and hit the bullseye!
"Haha, how was it? Not bad, right? There's something even more amazing coming up."
"Swish, swish, swish!"
All the Shuriken in Shiro's hand flew out. Then Shiro took out a kunai, turned his body to the side, and casually threw it. The kunai passed through the round hole in the middle of the three Shuriken and fixed it in the bullseye!
That's right, Shiro used the Uchiha Shuriken Technique!
When it comes to flashy tricks, the Wang clan is far more impressive. And for Shiro, who possesses the ability to see Clairvoyance, this is not difficult. Although there are still some issues in actual combat, it is more than enough to intimidate them.
Next, Shiro demonstrated some other Taijutsu moves that had no practical application but looked cool and required a high level of basic skills.
After that, Shiro left to continue his training.
That evening, Shiro explained the training plan to Sakumo, then discussed Kakashi's situation with him, and with his consent, successfully withdrew Kakashi's application.
After all, for Sakumo, he would rather Kakashi grow up happily than have a son with the reputation of being a genius.
A week later, two blue figures were clashing repeatedly in Shiro's training ground!
This was none other than Shiro and his Shadow Clone Technique!
Yes, there are no bugs, Shadow Clone Technique hasn't been improved either.
This is simply Shiro using a combination of techniques.
Shiro discovered that although Shadow Clone Technique are fragile, they still require a force capable of harming Shadow Clone Technique. Therefore, Shiro happened to recall that in the original story, Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique, after being enveloped by the Tailed Beast Chakra, did not dissipate upon contact.
Therefore, Shiro imitated his approach and used Reinforcement Magecraft to strengthen the Shadow Clone Technique's defenses.
As it turned out, Shiro's guess was valid, but it wasn't very effective in actual combat because it was very taxing.
Shiro's Chakra is too low; the only time he can use it for training is because he's drawing Chakra from the Crest.
To be honest, if it weren't for wanting to make up for his weaknesses as soon as possible, Shiro wouldn't want to use the Chakra in his Crest; that was something Shiro used to save his life.
However, it wouldn't be able to replenish the supply in a short time, and since there were no missions at the moment, Shiro decided to use it for the time being. Of course, Shiro didn't touch the Mana Crystal and kept its production process running.
Shiro's training method involves his Shadow Clone Technique with him, each using one of the Eight Great Moves and the Six Great Openings moves from Baji Quan, refining his Baji Quan through constant combat.
There has been significant progress, and it's much better than before.
"Clap clap clap!" At this moment, as Shiro's Shadow Clone Technique dissipated, a person walked out from the side clapping his hands.
"Orochimaru, what's he doing here?" Shiro squinted at Orochimaru.
"Shiro's Taijutsu are truly profound."
"You flatter me, Orochimaru- Orochimaru. It's just a trivial skill. May I ask what business you have with me Orochimaru- senpai?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, I just have something I'd like to trouble you with Shiro."
Shiro looked at him with surprise and said, "Orochimaru- senpai, please tell me what you need. I will do my best to help."
"Before we talk, Shiro, please take a look at this first." With that, he raised his hand.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Shiro followed his gaze and immediately, a snake made of water appeared in Orochimaru's hand.
'Hmm, just one, wait, what's this!'
Suddenly, Shiro's eyes widened, unable to hide his excitement, and he blurted out.
"Magecraft!"
That's right, what Orochimaru showed Shiro was Magecraft!
It's important to understand that Shiro is no longer the novice he once was. The reason he previously thought that Reinforcement Magecraft only had such power in his hands was mainly due to the difference between Magic Circuits and Chakra Pathways.
However, as Shiro studied Magecraft, he discovered that this statement was not entirely correct; the power of Magecraft was also related to its origin and Magecraft.
Leaving aside the root cause, Shiro asked the system but received no results. Its investigation components were missing and could not reach that area. Therefore, whether the root cause exists in this world is still a question.
Because Shiro's Magecraft actually relies on the system to activate, and even the Magecraft base plate is the same.
Before that, it is necessary to understand the Magecraft disk. Simply put, the Magecraft disk is something that the Magecraft has inscribed in the world beforehand. It is similar to an engine. The Magecraft can inject Mana as fuel to start the Magecraft.
Generally speaking, each Magecraft base has its own limited range, and different bases have different ranges. Magecraft's combat power will be greatly enhanced within the range of their own style's base.
Conversely, it will be weakened.
The number of Magecraft in Magecraft formula is also linked to the number of Magecraft Magecraft perform.
In general, Magecraft base is one of the necessary conditions for activating Magecraft, but there is no Magecraft base in the Hokage world.
Shiro's Magecraft relies on a system that replaces the Magecraft's foundation and origin, thus enabling its activation.
Shiro's current abilities are not yet sufficient to inscribe the Magecraft base plate, so Shiro doesn't know much about this aspect. However, he can confirm one thing.
Orochimaru was indeed using Magecraft! And it was Magecraft with Magecraft formula inscribed on it. Although the system's detection showed that there weren't many Magecraft formulas on the Magecraft formula, it was still enough to shock Shiro.
Although he didn't know how Orochimaru had managed to conjure all this up using just two basic Magecraft, he could finally relax a little.
Having studied the matter to this extent, Orochimaru should no longer be interested in Shiro's body, since knowledge and bloodline are different.
To be honest, Shiro was very envious of Orochimaru's intellect. They were both human, but the difference was too great. Shiro had textbook knowledge and experience as Divine Era Magus, but he couldn't even build Magecraft Workshop, while Orochimaru had already established the foundation of Magecraft.
The difference is enormous.
To this, Shiro could only say, "Snake Auntie truly lives up to her name."
Orochimaru watched Shiro with great interest. He sensed that Shiro's emotions had changed drastically in the short time. First, there was undisguised shock, and then, as if he had let go of something, he seemed much more relaxed.
Orochimaru's intuition was correct; Shiro was indeed much more relaxed now that Orochimaru had figured out Magecraft, he would no longer covet his body.
