Chapter 153

After trying several times and finding that the Analysis was always very slow, and confirming that it wasn't due to the different Noble Phantasm that made it difficult to Analysis, Shiro put it aside.

She focuses on studying Magecraft, and occasionally Projection the Noble Phantasm of other Heroic Spirit to enhance her understanding of Modern Magecraft, rather than just using Medea's.

After all, different Heroic Spirit have different understandings of Magecraft, and switching between them can help deepen one's understanding of Magecraft. However, Medea's Noble Phantasm is mainly used in normal times.

If possible, Shiro would like to continue his training slowly until he is fully developed, and then go out and roam freely.

Unfortunately, the village has not yet recovered from the aftermath of the war.

The village's tasks are always very demanding. For example, even though Shiro and his team only carry out missions every now and then, the intervals between missions are not short.

However, Shiro and his companions will still receive missions assigned by the Hokage.

Just now, Shiro had just finished receiving the Anbu, looked helplessly at the Magecraft Scroll, sighed, and put it away.

After tidying up a bit, I headed towards the Hokage Office Building.

The Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage Nakamura and the others, slowly took a drag of his cigarette, thought for a moment, and said:

"The reason I've called you here is because there's an important mission that needs to be carried out secretly, but the Anbu has other things to attend to recently and can't spare any manpower."

"So after some consideration, we still think you're the most suitable. Your abilities far exceed your current fame, and you'll be easier to hide."

Upon hearing this, Nakamura frowned and asked, "Lord Hokage, what is the mission this time?"

The Third Hokage glanced at Shiro and said, "This mission is related to a former ally of ours. We failed to provide them with timely assistance, which led to their demise."

'Hmm? Allies? Could it be the Land of Whirlpools? The Uzumaki Clan?' However, Shiro only thought these things to himself and did not say them out loud, quietly listening to the Third Hokage's explanation.

"But not long ago, our intelligence agents discovered their people on the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Waterfalls! Therefore, your mission is to stop the others and bring her back!"

"Kill them all if anyone tries to stop us!" The Third Hokage said coldly, his eyes narrowing slightly at the end.

'Her? Could it be Karin's mother?'

"Yes, Lord Hokage! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

"This is intelligence gathered by the Intelligence Squad regarding the mission objective. Go and prepare."

"Yes."

After saying that, Nakamura and the others left the Hokage's office.

"Shiro, do you know something? You seem distracted, and the Lord Hokage just glanced at you."

"I'm fine, Shikaki. It's just that this mission was a bit unexpected. I didn't expect it to be about rescuing the eldest sister's people."

To be honest, this was the most unexpected thing for Shiro this time. He was certain that in the original story, Konoha did not have Karin information about Karin's mother.

Otherwise, Karin wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate. Even if we think about it in a darker way, the Third Hokage might not have gone to save her, but Minato definitely would have.

Given Minato's character, even if Kushina hadn't said anything, he would have gone to find her clan members himself. And if information about Karin's mother had surfaced, it wouldn't have escaped Minato's notice as Hokage.

Because no one would argue with him over such a trivial matter, and besides, this kind of thing would only benefit Konoha, not to mention their world-renowned Sealing Jutsu.

In terms of bloodline alone, it is an outstanding Kekkei Genkai. With their addition, Konoha's strength will definitely increase rapidly.

However, these events did not occur in the original story, which means the plot has been changed!

Shiro was both pleased and worried about this. He was pleased that the plot could really be changed, even if it involved important characters.

After all, with Shiro and the others getting involved, Karin is completely gone, no matter what. Although her mother is still alive, she is destined never to meet her father again.

The worry is that the plot has changed as a result, and with this change, one of the advantages that Shiro had as a time traveler is gone, which is somewhat distressing.

However, compared to that, this is nothing. After all, he got to where he is today not because of his familiarity with the plot, but because of his own abilities.

Okay, it's Chakra- based Magecraft modified by the system.

However, all of this was achieved through Shiro's own cultivation, so the change in the plot would not affect him; on the contrary, it made him even happier.

Because it means that what he did was not in vain! He is truly changing the world!

However, because this mission involves Kushina, Shiro is under a lot of pressure, as it means that he and his Shiro have to bring her back safe and sound, which is quite difficult.

If the two weren't related, Shiro and his companions could have chosen to kill the mission target when they were powerless to salvage the situation, which would have been considered completing the mission. Unfortunately, the two were related.

Therefore, when faced with Shikaki's question, Shiro had nothing to hide. Kushina Jinchuriki something that couldn't be made public, but the Uzumaki Clan's identity didn't need to be concealed.

Besides, there's no way to hide it. Her red hair is too conspicuous, and coupled with her enormous Chakra, anyone with a bit of knowledge would know her identity.

"The target of this mission should be the remnants of the Land of Whirlpools, that is, the people of the eldest sister's clan, so..."

"Oh, it's alright. We're teammates. Don't you trust our strength? A few small ninja villages are nothing. We can handle them easily. It won't come to that. Let's go. We don't have much time left. We'll discuss the mission arrangements on the way."

Instead of traveling on the Giant Bird No. 2, Shiro and his companions moved swiftly and stealthily on the ground.

Since Shiro's puppets have been created for some time now, although they haven't been widely adopted yet, many ninjas have already equipped themselves with them.

Therefore, the Giant Bird Series of puppets is no longer a secret in the Shinobi World, and all countries are on guard against them. Although they cannot launch a decent counterattack, they at least serve as a warning.

Shiro and his group's mission this time was to be carried out in secret, so they couldn't be too conspicuous.

Additionally, it's worth mentioning that Shiro's way of moving forward is different from Shikaki's. Shiro doesn't use the ninja run, which involves placing his hands behind his back.

He used the conventional running style, which involves constantly swinging his arms.

It wasn't that Shiro didn't want to use the cooler ninja run, but rather that he wasn't used to it and found it difficult to maintain his balance.

When he was in school, Shiro asked his teacher why they used this running method, since it really wasn't very scientific, as you can see from watching Kai and the others train.

The teacher's answer was that this was more advantageous in dealing with encounters. When traveling at high speed and encountering an enemy, one could quickly stop and then use the momentum to throw the Shuriken, causing greater damage!

However, because this movement requires a high degree of balance, this running method is also used in regular training.

This is to make their bodies develop Instinct.

Of course, if you have a high enough level of control over your body, you can ignore this point, like Kai and his group later on.
