Pursuit, Goodbye Noble Phantasm!

A pair of hands suddenly shot out from under his feet and grabbed him!

Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!

In an instant, Nakamura pulled him underground, Shiro seized the opportunity to deliver a punch imbued with Mana Burst! Straight to his face!

The scene was extremely 404!

The reason why the opponent was so easily controlled by Nakamura's Earth Release was entirely because he had been drawn into Shiro's rhythm during the previous battle.

Although Shiro's Baji Quan were still immature, with Nakamura's deliberate cooperation, achieving this was not difficult.

Once he was drawn into Shiro's rhythm, his defeat was inevitable.

Because at this point he was no longer able to escape Shiro's attacks.

The Baji Quan, enhanced by Reinforcement Magecraft and Mana Burst, is extremely powerful; once hit, it's almost certain death.

After all, he had the advantage of Nintaijutsu, and with his careful defense, he had taken a Baji Quan attack that was weakened, but even so, his hand was still shaking.

One can imagine how terrible it would be if Shiro managed to land a punch on him.

However, this made him less attentive to Nakamura's movements, and thus, despite his careful planning, he met a very unpleasant end.

While Shiro and his companions were dealing with the Jonin, Taichi's Genjutsu technique was also succeeding.

Thus, although the raid was somewhat difficult, it was ultimately completed without causing too much of a commotion.

"Shiro, are you alright?" Nakamura asked with concern when he saw Shiro standing there, clutching his right hand and panting.

"It's alright, Captain Nakamura. I just suffered a bit of backlash, it's nothing serious. You guys clean up the battlefield first, I'll take care of it myself. There's still another target to deal with."

"How about I handle it later? You seem to be in pretty bad shape."

"No, Captain, your Ninjutsu and his are too powerful and will attract attention. Leave it to me. Don't worry, I'm confident I can handle him. I'm completely his match in this area."

"Alright, then you heal your wounds first. Signal if anything happens, and I'll go help them clean up the battlefield."

"Understood, Captain."

After saying that, Nakamura went to help Taichi and the others, but he also noticed the traces left by Shiro as he rushed over.

"Gulp! This kid is terrifying." Nakamura swallowed hard, muttering in shock.

From the place where Shiro fought, there was a pit every so often along the way!

Recalling the powerful gust of wind when Shiro threw his punch, he immediately knew where these craters came from.

As Nakamura filled the pit with Earth Release, he was secretly shocked. At this time, Shiro was only nine years old, and neither his Chakra nor his physical strength had reached their limit.

Even so, it already possesses such destructive power. If Shiro were to grow up, he would become another top-tier powerhouse!

The thought of such a future powerhouse appearing under his command filled him with excitement.

In the future, he will have something to brag about to his son.

However, he could foresee Shiro's rise to power, but the possibility of having a child was uncertain; he hadn't even seen the mother of his child yet.

Meanwhile, since the battle was over, Shiro calmed down and focused on his treatment, at least to ensure he could use his Projection Magecraft again.

Otherwise, the battle later will be very troublesome. Even if I can't unleash my Noble Phantasm, it would be better to just Projection.

Fortunately, even with Medea's experience as an expert, Shiro, being an outsider, often made mistakes in his Magecraft research, and this wasn't the first or second time his Magic Circuits had overloaded.

Shiro handled it with great skill, so skillful that it was almost heartbreaking.

Although it was an emergency measure, and he needed to be able to use Projection Magecraft later, Shiro didn't rush things, as it would still take some time to be effective.

It's not that Shiro lacks ability; he can be fast if he wants to. After all, this isn't a particularly advanced Magecraft, and Shiro is skilled enough, so it's not difficult for him.

However, this did not align with Shiro's thinking. Although Shiro did not study Eastern Magecraft, the concept of nourishment from traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life still profoundly influenced Shiro.

Of course, he didn't know how to raise them, but that didn't matter; slow and steady wins the race.

What works quickly isn't necessarily good, but what works slowly, as long as it doesn't delay healing, is good—that's for sure.

Therefore, Shiro's treatments mostly followed this principle.

Of course, special cases require special handling. This mission was urgent, so Shiro accelerated the recovery of his injuries slightly. Otherwise, according to Shiro's usual schedule, he would have needed at least two or three days to recover.

After dealing with his own backlash, Shiro noticed that Nakamura and the others hadn't finished cleaning up the battlefield, so he got up and went to help.

"Shiro, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Shikaki's words, Taichi also turned his gaze over.

"Don't worry, it's fine, it's almost done."

"That's good. You take a rest first, and while you're at it, contact Gray Snake. Take advantage of the intelligence we have now and deal with him. There's not much else to do, so leave it to us."

"Alright, then good luck to you guys." After saying that, Shiro sat down to the side and began to Hand Seals to sense the Gray Snake.

"Gray Snake, can you hear me?"

"Hiss~ Hiss~" Yes, Shiro.

Why can't I sense your location?

"Hiss~ Hiss~" Because the distance was too far, and Lord Shiro did not know Senjutsu, his perception range was limited.

"So even visual connectivity isn't possible?" Shiro frowned.

"Hiss~ Hiss~" Yes, Shiro.

"Trouble. Tell me the general location. You should know that, right?" With that, Shiro took out a map and spread it out.

"Hiss~ Hiss~" Okay, Lord Shiro, the location is approximately...

Afterwards, based on the Gray Snake's description, Shiro roughly learned its current location, which was also the location of the Hoshigakure.

This location isn't actually accurate; it only provides a general direction. However, that's enough. Once the distance is sufficient, Shiro will be able to sense the location of the Gray Snake.

Therefore, such a detailed address is not necessary.

Seeing that Shiro and the others were still dealing with the battlefield, Shikaki thought for a moment and began to study the map. At the same time, he contacted Gray Snake to compare intelligence in real time and roughly determine the situation along the way.

He marked them out for Shikaki's reference, to facilitate the planning process.

By the time Shiro finished marking the marks and came to his senses, Shikaki and the others had already surrounded Shiro, quietly waiting for him.

"Have you finished handling this?" Shiro first looked around.

"Hmm, that's about it. How about the Gray Snake?"

"Don't worry, Captain. Don't you trust Gray Snake's abilities? Everything is normal so far. We've already discussed the approximate area. Also, here's some general intelligence about the route."

Upon hearing Shiro's words, Shikaki turned his gaze to the map he was pointing to, carefully studying the annotations and routes on it.

After a while, Shikaki raised his head and said, "Shiro, put your snake away, let's go."

After saying that, he led the way and rushed over.

Dragon Boat Festival is here, so I'm recommending a Marvel book, a friend's, it's pretty good, it's about Scissor Seven in Marvel.
