First Battle, Victory!

Shiro's first target was a chubby middle-aged ninja. The information from the Exchange only mentioned that he was skilled in the Body Flicker Technique, but it didn't specify which Body Flicker Technique.

Therefore, Shiro decided to kill him with William Tell's sure-hit "Arrow of Trusted Release". Once within range, no matter how fast you Body Flicker Technique, you can't dodge it!

Of course, this excludes spatial Body Flicker Technique like the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, this arrow is not invincible; it only guarantees a hit. The range of control is too large, and it will definitely hit if it hits the arm. But even if he can escape this arrow, he cannot stop Shiro.

The first target was a bodyguard hired by a certain family, so all Shiro needed to do was kill him. The Exchange's informants were always on standby for such special targets.

Their deaths will be reported immediately and the task will be settled. After Shiro completes the task, he needs to go to a place to get a voucher, and then he will use the voucher to collect the money.

As for who comes, they don't care.

Of course, you can choose not to take the bounty; simply bring the target's corpse and you can still collect the reward.

When Shiro arrived, the guy was hiding in a dark corner of a house, on guard.

Following the Gray Snake's clue, Shiro found him, but Shiro didn't act rashly. Instead, he tightened the Invisible Cloak on his body, narrowed his eyes, and Shiro hid.

This guy is a guard of a family, and in the current situation, they seem to be making some kind of deal, so Shiro wants to see if he can snag a bargain.

Anyway, at this distance, that guy is doomed, so Shiro can finally relax.

Furthermore, if we succeed this time, the reward could be more than the bounty. Since we might not be able to find the guy Jingxia the well anyway, we might as well stake out here.

So Shiro waited and waited, but they didn't come out for a long time.

As it turned out, Shiro was too naive. When Shiro couldn't wait any longer and let Gray Snake in, he found them still arguing. Shiro didn't know the specifics of their argument, but it seemed unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.

After thinking it over, Shiro decided that completing the mission was enough; the risk of going in and causing a ruckus was too great and not worth it.

Having made up his mind, Shiro Projection William Tell's crossbow bolt, aimed it at the target, and the instant he unleashed his Noble Phantasm and pulled the trigger, blue patterns crawled up Shiro's feet!

He took a single step and dashed out!

Just as the enemy blocked the incoming crossbow bolt, Shiro rushed in and broke his throat with a single blow!

Shiro wasn't surprised that the opponent could block the Noble Phantasm. He had already tested it; although it was guaranteed to hit, if you blocked it yourself, it would still hit.

Only when an arrow is blocked by someone else will the trajectory of the causal correction arrow be triggered. And most people, after their previous relaxation, would absolutely not be able to withstand such a corrected trajectory.

This is why Shiro was so confident that he could kill the Cloud Ninja, because the Raikage standing in front of him would definitely block the arrows for him, and he trusted the Raikage.

However, it was precisely this trust that ultimately ruined him.

The current mission objective is different. This guy has no one he can trust; he only trusts himself. Therefore, he was able to block this arrow only by maintaining sufficient vigilance at all times.

However, the difference in their abilities was ultimately too great; the entire match lasted less than ten seconds!

Therefore, for ninjas in low-level matches, assassination is still the most reliable method!

After killing the target, Shiro cut off his head and put it in a bag. Shiro planned to take it to the Exchange branch here later and exchange it for vouchers to carry with him.

Shiro did this to save on Sealing Scroll. He wanted to save as much as possible, since Sealing Scroll weren't cheap, and poor people couldn't afford to waste them.

After exchanging the credentials, Shiro rushed to his next target; if he was too slow, Shiro would have to spend money to buy information again.

Shiro's next target is an Earth Release ninja. His preferred Ninjutsu is clearly stated this time: he is proficient in Earth Release: Earth Hardening Technique, which provides strong defense.

It is said that he can withstand a C-rank Ninjutsu without taking any damage!

In Shiro's opinion, this was either just bragging, or it wasn't Earth Hardening Technique at all, but some kind of secret technique or bloodline limit.

Earth Hardening Technique aren't that powerful yet. Unless you master them to a certain level and add a massive amount of Chakra, it's impossible to achieve that.

However, Shiro chose him as his target because of what was stated on the bounty poster: that he was skilled in defensive Ninjutsu. Knowing the type of defense, Shiro became even more confident!

Besides raising money, Shiro had another important purpose in taking on the mission from the Exchange: to master the use of various Noble Phantasm.

Especially the release of Noble Phantasm; it's not just about shouting out the true name, but also about the flow of Chakra within the body.

Therefore, this also requires practice, and this level of proficiency will directly affect the speed at which Shiro unleashes his Noble Phantasm.

If Shiro's Noble Phantasm is unleashed quickly enough, it could be said that A is already dead!

There are many Noble Phantasm that can counter A, but the key is that Shiro's release speed is much slower than A's, and ninjas develop abilities similar to Mind's Eye after experiencing enough battles.

This is what is commonly referred to as intuition; when faced with a fatal attack, the body will Instinct react.

Shiro doesn't need to train too fast. He just needs to master some of the more practical Noble Phantasm. He only needs to understand the rest, since the Projection will carry the user's experience.

The best training is real combat, where any problems will be exposed.

This is Shiro's true purpose, not just to make money.

If it were really about making money, Shiro could have simply put on Secret of Pedigree and then gone to sell Explosive Tag to a wealthy man!

It's an absolute sure-fire way to make a fortune! And your identity won't be exposed!

However, this would inevitably cause Shiro's combat skills to become rusty. Shiro is still a ninja, and the importance of combat skills to Shiro is self-evident.

Therefore, this is the most reasonable choice for Shiro.

Before he knew it, Shiro had arrived at the town where his second target was located.

Shiro stood on a high place and scanned the town with his Clairvoyance, but did not find him outside. After thinking for a moment, Shiro summoned a bunch of small snakes and sent them into the town to gather information.

He himself was slowly making his way to the town, removing his equipment, including his mask.

This outfit is too eye-catching; it's fine for showing off, but now it'll only alert the enemy.

Not long after Shiro entered the town, Shiro stopped strolling in the street and began to walk in another direction.

At this moment, Shiro's target was still having a meal at an inn, completely unaware of Shiro's arrival.

He's currently worried about his next task. He usually takes on tasks at the Exchange, but the money they earn is mostly used for enjoyment.

After all, even if they wanted to turn it into strength, they had no way to do so, because they simply couldn't buy Ninjutsu. Therefore, they weren't that enthusiastic about missions, and usually only took on missions when they were almost out of money.
