The Journey of Training Begins

However, Minato's move should be quite difficult to execute. Shiro remembers that in the original work, Minato never showed this move until Minato death.

However, that kind of thing probably won't happen now. First of all, with Shiro growing up, the Fourth Hokage definitely won't have to die. Also, Shiro has a bunch of stolen, no, borrowed Ninjutsu experience.

If these are handed over to Minato, his progress will be much faster.

However, none of these things have been achieved yet. Shiro hasn't risen yet, and the Ninjutsu experience he was preparing to Minato hasn't been fully copied. They still have to wait a while, since Shiro still needs to select some techniques, and some forbidden techniques cannot be revealed.

And so, after Minato and the others arrived, the rest of the group arrived one after another. Finally, after finishing their meal, they saw Shiro off out of Konoha, and only turned back when they could no longer see Shiro's back.

They had a premonition that when Shiro returned, it would be the time for him to dominate the Shinobi World!

And as they saw Shiro off from the village, in a dark room in Konoha.

"My lord, Emiya Shiro has already left the village."

"Send men to follow him. If he shows any sign of contacting other villages," Danzo, his eyes narrowing fiercely, "Kill him on sight!"

"Yes, sir!"

Although Danzo couldn't stop Shiro from leaving the village alone because of the Third Hokage, he couldn't control his ability to monitor the Third Hokage.

As things stand, Shiro's existence still holds some value for the village. The village's Hawk Plan is centered around his Bird Puppet, and they cannot allow Shiro to show any signs of defection until the plan is fully implemented.

In fact, given Danzo's style, he usually just arrests people and brings them into the Root, which is the safest approach.

Unfortunately, he had Sakumo protecting him before, but after Sakumo died, the Third Hokage felt sorry for Sakumo and protected Shiro instead, so his support for him was not as strong, which is why he had to resort to this desperate measure.

Because of the Third Hokage, Danzo didn't dare to act directly when Shiro showed no signs of defecting. At this critical juncture, if he dared to do it, the Third Hokage would really turn against him, and it would also arouse suspicion from others, which would be a loss for him.

Therefore, just like the Third Hokage, he sent people to follow Shiro, so that they could take action directly if anything went wrong. However, the conditions for his people to take action were much lower than those for the Third Hokage's Anbu.

And just like that, three years have passed. (You'd all kill me if I wrote it like this.)

Ahem, enough joking. On the other side, Shiro was also leisurely making his way. He didn't plan to start his journey right away. Although he couldn't sense it, he knew with his own eyes that the Third Hokage and Danzo wouldn't really leave him without someone following him.

What if he betrays us if we let him do as he pleases?

Therefore, Shiro planned to take his men and slowly travel around the Land of Fire for two months, after which he would simply shake them off.

Of course, Shiro wasn't just wandering around aimlessly. He planned to use this time to study Wind Release Ninjutsu, which has a wide range of attacks and is an excellent tool for clearing out mobs.

It's much more effective than Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. After all, while Anti-Army Noble Phantasm are powerful, they consume far too much energy and can't be used more than a few times.

Wind Release is different. It doesn't consume as much energy, and its power is even stronger when combined with Blood Maiden. Furthermore, knowing that someone is observing from the shadows, Shiro naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to concentrate solely on practicing Magecraft.

He's good at studying theoretical knowledge, but experimenting is a bit of a problem. The Magecraft he's currently researching are all somewhat controversial and inhumane, making it inconvenient to test them under their watchful eyes.

Therefore, after much thought, the only option left was to study Wind Release.

Shiro's research on Wind Release mainly focused on developing the Destructo Disc. When he couldn't figure something out, he would research other Ninjutsu to make up for his own shortcomings.

Just like now, Shiro is stuck on the condensation of Wind Release, so he is now studying Wind Release: Pressure Damage, which is known as the Wind Heavy Cannon.

Wind Release: Pressure Damage is a B-rank Ninjutsu, which is a bit difficult for Shiro. However, thanks to the extensive experience he borrowed from the Projection, although mastering it is challenging, getting started with the basics shouldn't be too difficult.

Therefore, it took Shiro half a month to barely master this B-rank Ninjutsu.

Even so, his speed secretly shocked the several Anbu who were observing him. In their opinion, this speed was already very fast. After all, this was a B-rank Ninjutsu, and with this speed, he could already be called a genius.

Of course, this is because they didn't know that Shiro could cultivate by drawing on the experience of others; otherwise, they wouldn't have had such feelings.

On the other hand, Shiro's initial understanding definitely needs to be put into actual combat for testing. Needless to say, it's time for our bandit experience pack to be put to use again.

However, it still took some effort for Shiro to find a suitable bandit group. This was not like doing a mission where the general information had already been gathered.

Shiro now has to collect and verify the information himself. Of course, he can use the village's intelligence points, but that wouldn't be as helpful for his training.

Therefore, after learning Pressure Damage, Shiro spent about a week gathering information about them.

He was quite lucky; Shiro found a relatively large bandit stronghold where wandering ninjas lived.

The reason it's considered lucky is that villages usually send people to harvest these well-fed bandits as soon as they find out about it. However, it seems that the people in this area have reached an agreement with the bandits and haven't gone to Konoha to ask for a mission.

Shiro's information was only gathered using Genjutsu.

Therefore, when Shiro stood in front of the mountain stronghold, he was quite surprised that a bandit could build a small fortress!

Danzo would never believe there wasn't something Danzo going on here!

However, this has nothing to do with Shiro. No matter how much you are related, it is the Land of Fire's official faction, not Konoha's. Shiro is from Konoha and has no fear of offending them.

Besides, Shiro killed mountain bandits, so the other side had no reason to publicly punish Shiro, and a single mountain bandit was not worth the price of punishing Shiro.

Therefore, Shiro was even a little happy, because the more impressive the other party's stronghold was, the richer he was! And the more profit Shiro could make!

How could Shiro possibly let go of such a win-win situation?

Therefore, after making preparations, Shiro swaggered up to the front of the mountain stronghold, ready to charge straight in!

Anyway, the Pressure Damage is already quite significant, and it will be exposed sooner or later; it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later.

Besides, the most dangerous thing about such large-scale battles is the unpredictable stray arrows, but Shiro has Projectile Weapon Amulet, so stray arrows are ineffective against him.

Therefore, Shiro simply Body Flicker Technique to their fortress and swaggered over to begin Hand Seals.

"Call out!"

The bandits naturally spotted Shiro as well, and so they shot an arrow directly into the tree behind Shiro.

"..." The bandit leader glared fiercely at the archer, then shouted to Shiro, "You brat over there, you better get out of here, or the next arrow will be aimed at you!"

Thank you Her Highness Erii, for the monthly pass! Thank you for your support!

Do you want me to paste all the information about the amulet?
