Conceptual Noble Phantasm

Not long after, Okita and the others came out, wearing Forehead Protector, clearly indicating that they had passed the test.

Seeing this, Jiro and his wife breathed a sigh of relief; their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Nanako hugged Okita and said happily, "As expected of my son, you're amazing!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I know your son is amazing. Now go away, don't bother the others." Keiko was particularly annoyed by Nanako's arrogant attitude.

She couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark at her, but Nanako wasn't someone to be trifled with. After all, she had been fighting with Keiko for years and knew exactly how to find an advantage.

"Okay, I got it. Sigh, I'm a little excited, aren't I? Look at Okita, not only did he become a ninja, he even found a girlfriend. How can I not be happy?"

Upon hearing this, Shiro's smile gradually froze. After a moment of stunned silence, Shiro quickly interrupted the conversation before the two of them could continue. Continuing the conversation would be bad for Shiro.

"Alright, alright, Aunt Nanako, Mom, it's getting late, let's go ahead, it'll be crowded later." She said, pushing the two of them towards the restaurant.

Seeing this, Jiro, Makoto, and Okita smiled helplessly and followed them.

To celebrate Okita's successful graduation, they made a reservation in advance, since the atmosphere is better when eating out.

Besides, there aren't many of them, just the two of them, so booking a small spot is enough, which is much more convenient.

This time, the main purpose was to celebrate Okita's graduation. Of course, Saori also graduated, but she has family and friends, so we didn't invite them this time.

After Shiro and the others sat down at their reserved seats, Shiro took out two scrolls and handed them to Okita.

"Here, this is for you and Saori. She's not here, so you can keep it for now. The red one is hers, and yours is blue."

"Thank you, Shiro- ge. Is this Ninjutsu?"

"No, these are puppets that have been made. They can be kept in the village normally, and you can summon them when needed. They have some attack power, but overall, they are more of a support function."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Shiro."

"It's nothing, but this alone isn't enough. You should also look for suitable summoning beasts. Powerful Ninja Beast clans aren't easy to find."

"You can start trying to raise one yourself; this is how most people obtain their summoned beasts."

"But Shiro- nii, I've noticed that many ninjas don't have powerful summoning beasts, but their strength isn't lacking. This shouldn't be that important, right?"

"It's not that they didn't exist, but rather that they were trained incorrectly or too late, unable to keep up with their own abilities, and thus gradually became obsolete."

"A powerful summoning beast can increase your strength by at least 30%, and also make your tactical options more versatile."

"Your starting point is good. You don't need many training materials, and since you've just graduated, you have a long period of adjustment. You can focus on training your Ninja Beast during this time."

"If you're still unsure which path you'll take in the future, you can choose a more versatile Ninja Beast. Although its strength will be relatively weaker, it will give you more tactical options."

After that, Shiro talked at length with Okita about the benefits of training Ninja Beast and some common tactical applications.

Okita was very respectful, listening attentively to Shiro the whole time, and occasionally taking out a scroll to jot down notes.

Finally, seeing that it was almost time, Shiro concluded, "That's all I can say. You'll have to research and make your own choices. My words are just a suggestion."

"Yes, I know, thank you, Brother Shiro."

Just as they finished speaking, the dishes arrived, and they began to chat.

The next day at noon.

"Hiss~ Ah." Shiro groaned as he got up, rubbing his head.

Yesterday, seemingly in retaliation for Shiro's lecture to him, Okita kept lecturing Shiro, giving him a terrible headache. What's infuriating is that Shiro perfectly avoided this because of the class reassignment today.

And so, Shiro's fate became tragic.

After Shiro finished washing up, he found that Makoto and Keiko were still resting, which meant that they had obviously drunk quite a bit yesterday.

After grabbing a quick bite in the kitchen, Shiro headed towards Hokage Rock.

Today's state of mind is not suitable for studying Magecraft; to be precise, I can't even think about anything.

Therefore, Shiro chose meditation to see if he could alleviate the side effects of his hangover, and the best environment for meditation was naturally a place with the most natural atmosphere.

Shiro's mental cultivation is still a bit weak. He needs the help of his environment to enter a deeper level of meditation and achieve the greatest effect.

Such environments are not uncommon in Konoha, but the most prestigious is still the Hokage Rock, a place where countless powerful figures have stood.

And so, Shiro spent the whole day meditating here. When he got tired, he would lie down, clear his mind, and quietly look at the sky. After resting, he would continue meditating.

Therefore, when Shiro's headache improved, he didn't know if it was due to the effect of meditation.

And so, Shiro's life once again fell into a cycle: training, missions, training, missions.

Fortunately, Shiro has gradually begun to find enjoyment in his training, so it's not so boring after all.

As Shiro delved deeper into the study of Magecraft, he gained new insights into Projection Magecraft through continuous accumulation of knowledge!

Although he still hasn't broken through that limit, Shiro has a more accurate grasp of the Noble Phantasm's structure, and the energy consumption has been reduced.

He has also become more adept at deformation, with significant improvements in both speed and power, greatly enhancing Shiro's tactical options.

Secondly, Shiro is gradually able to Analysis some non-physical Noble Phantasm, that is, Noble Phantasm that are conceptual sublimations!

Of course, the current progress is quite impressive.

However, this is of great significance to Shiro! Because his Origin is different from Shirou's, he is not limited by the Projection sword.

Theoretically speaking, as long as he can understand it, he can Projection all Noble Phantasm!

Therefore, this improvement is still significant, because many powerful Noble Phantasm are conceptual Noble Phantasm, such as the most well-known ones: Knight of Honor and the God Hand.

Not to mention that Knight of Honor, this is practically ubiquitous in fanfiction about Shiro's past life. Their powerful effects are no joke; it's said that as long as you have enough Mana, you can kill your opponent while standing upside down!

The God Hand have an even more extreme effect, granting twelve lives—and that's just the most basic effect.

Of course, these are all very powerful conceptual Noble Phantasm, and conceptual Noble Phantasm are the most difficult to Analysis. Shiro can't even finish Analysis the simple ones, let alone these powerful ones.

However, looking at this kind of cake occasionally can increase motivation for spiritual practice, so it's still beneficial.

Of course, for now, we can only look at it. At the current pace, Shiro will probably need several more decades before he can finish Analysis this Analysis Noble Phantasm.

However, this is based on the premise that Shiro has not made any progress. In reality, as Shiro's knowledge of Magecraft expands, his Analysis speed will only get faster and faster.

Therefore, Shiro's most important task now is to continue studying Magecraft.

Thanks for the monthly pass, Zi Yue! Thanks for your support! I searched for that line for ages but couldn't find it... Oh well...
