Madness

"Didn't I tell you? All you need to do is become stronger."

"..." Hearing Shiro's words, Kakashi stared at Shiro with dead fish eyes, "Then what's the point of you activating the barrier?"

Don't you think this creates a better atmosphere?

Kakashi squinted at Shiro, then his pupils darted around as he glanced discreetly at the surroundings.

"Fine, tell me if you want, I'll find out when I get stronger, right?"

"That's right."

"I'll be going now. What a waste of my time."

"Wait, keep this scroll safe. It contains the teacher's understanding of swordsmanship. It will be useful to you, so keep it safe and don't lose it."

Kakashi took the scroll, glanced at Shiro's eyes instinctively, and was surprised to find that there was no hint whatsoever.

"What's wrong?"

"This, this?"

Kakashi pointed to the scroll and looked at Shiro blankly.

He really couldn't understand Shiro's actions now. When Shiro opened the barrier earlier, he thought Shiro was going to tell him the truth, but who knew he didn't.

Then he assumed that Shiro's barrier might not be strong enough, or that someone was spying on him, so he glanced around and decisively ended the conversation.

As a result, Shiro handed him a scroll. He thought there must be some information inside, but it was inconvenient to say it. Therefore, he felt that Shiro would give him some hints to analyze.

As a result, he saw nothing.

"This is the teacher's swordsmanship scroll. Didn't I tell you? Ninjutsu Scroll aren't very useful to you right now. Your current Ninjutsu is enough; you don't need to learn any other Ninjutsu for the time being."

"I understand. I'll head back now; I have to go to school tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you."

With that, Shiro closed the barrier and then got up to see Kakashi off.

Actually, Shiro had planned to tell Kakashi more today, but when Shiro opened the barrier, he discovered that someone was spying on them, so he had no choice but to give up.

The barrier that Shiro set up in his study was originally intended to prevent peeping, but after setting it up, he found that its effectiveness was too low and it could not effectively prevent such behavior.

Unless we increase our investment in this barrier, which would inevitably delay the construction of Shiro's Workshop and postpone the improvement of attributes, it would be a losing proposition.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Shiro can go toe-to-toe with Ai now. That's actually the culmination of a year's Shiro. In other words, if Silang were to fight twice in a short period of time, Shiro would definitely lose.

Even with Noble Phantasm that are designed for slaying, the same applies. After all, the activation of Noble Phantasm has distance limitations and reaction time, and A is the kind of person who is very fast. Even if Shiro's Mind's Mind's Eye can react in time, his body cannot keep up.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to build Workshop and improve their attributes; everything else can be put on hold for now.

Once Shiro's chakra level increases, his strength will definitely rise to another level!

Therefore, Shiro could only make a slight modification. Since it was impossible to block it, he set it so that Shiro would be immediately alerted whenever any spying was detected.

In this way, Shiro could take precautions before doing anything important, but this only applied to situations where he could stop at any time. However, he made do with it, since he was poor.

After seeing Kakashi off, Shiro went back to his room, put on a coat, and went out.

There was no other way; if he didn't disguise himself a little, he would be too easily recognized. Although he didn't care much at the moment, he was going to find someone, and disguising himself would cause them less trouble.

Along the way, Shiro tried to avoid crowded places and headed towards the training ground. At this time, Kai and the others should still be at the training ground.

Shiro's main purpose this time was to find Guy, with a simple goal: to get him to continue harassing Kakashi.

Although Guy has challenged Kakashi from time to time over the past two years, his personality has changed somewhat from the original work under Shiro's influence.

Although he's still a hot-blooded idiot, he probably wouldn't bother Kakashi at a time like this.

Therefore, Shiro still wanted to tell him. At the same time, Shiro also wanted to get together with them, since Shiro's injuries had almost recovered.

Now that Sakumo's matter is settled, it's about time he applies to leave the village for training.

This was also a relatively important part of Shiro's plan, because it was impossible to operate freely in the village, which was not conducive to building Magecraft Workshop.

Perfect timing! Rumors detrimental to Shiro are circulating throughout the village, giving Shiro a perfect excuse to ask the Third Hokage to let him leave the village.

According to Shiro's estimation, the success rate should be relatively high. After all, the Third Hokage should still feel a little guilty towards Shiro and Kakashi because of Sakumo's death, so he probably won't refuse Shiro's request.

Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Shiro will be leaving the village in a few days. As a result, Shiro wants to have a farewell meal with them before he leaves.

However, since he hasn't applied yet, Shiro isn't sure if it will be successful. After all, anything can happen, so he'll hold off on inviting others for now and just hang out with Dai and the others. Once he gets approval, he'll invite the others.

After walking for a while, Shiro had just caught a glimpse of the training ground when he heard very loud slogans coming from inside.

"Five hundred and one! Five hundred and two! Five hundred and three!"

Hearing the strained sound, Shiro shook his head and chuckled, "Tsk tsk, even Kai gets tired? He's already panting after only five hundred. Holy crap! Dai, you lunatic!"

Halfway through the conversation, Shiro suddenly realized that the voice sounded a bit old, and then he realized that the trainer was Dai, so he rushed over!

He has no choice but to go; Dai Gate of Wonder's injury has only just begun to heal, and he simply cannot withstand this kind of training.

In this state, with the training intensity Dai was doing, it could really kill someone!

Sure enough, when Shiro rushed over, he found Dai Zheng doing push-ups on the ground, his hands trembling as he persevered. But when he saw Shiro arrive, he lost his focus and instantly collapsed to the ground.

He said weakly, "Oh, Shiro's here. Wait a minute, I failed my 1,000 push-ups. Let me finish my 1,000 squats before we talk."

As he spoke, he tried to get up from the ground.

Surprisingly, although Shiro came to stop Dai's training, he didn't stop Dai; instead, he just stood there and watched.

Yes, because Dai can't get up now.

He was holding on with his last breath, his abilities were exhausted to the extreme, and he was only being sustained by his indomitable will.

When he discovered that Shiro had arrived, he not only lost his breath but also his willpower weakened slightly. He no longer had the strength to get up.

Shiro wasn't worried about him and let him wriggle on the ground. Anyway, he would have to receive treatment later, so a little bit of aftereffects from the training wouldn't matter.
