The Regret of Almost Missing Out

Four days have passed since that scam—no, that deal. During these four days, Shiro has been copying Ninjutsu for Hoshigakure, as Shiro still hopes to avoid conflict through an exchange.

Therefore, we need to show our sincerity in this regard, and we need to think about this carefully. These past few days, Shiro has been thinking about this matter a lot.

What? You're talking about the guilt associated with fraud?

Shiro denied this, stating that his transaction with Sasakibe was perfectly legitimate and that Suzakube simply had trouble keeping the item safe; it had nothing to do with him.

Besides, it was Pain who made the deal with the Sasakibe, what does it have to do with Emiya Shiro and the Smiling Wind Demon? ╮(╯_╰)╭

The bounty was clearly displayed: 50 million Pain on Pain! Although it only appeared for a short while, it proved that it had nothing to do with Emiya Shiro. Yes, that's right!

Afterwards, Shiro put these thoughts out of his mind and began to check whether the Ninjutsu he was preparing to give to Hoshigakure was lacking or excessive; he still needed to pay attention to this aspect.

First of all, we definitely can't give away Konoha's unique Ninjutsu, and it's not good enough for those that are too advanced. There's no need to give away A-rank or higher ninjutsu.

A single A-rank Ninjutsu is enough to support a fairly outstanding ninja village, after all, there is a difference between a ninja with A-rank Ninjutsu and a Ninjutsu without it.

Therefore, the highest level of Ninjutsu that can be given is B-rank, and even Yin Release Yang Release cannot be given; only the Five Elements Release techniques can be given.

Finally, Shiro selected several more Ninjutsu based on this standard, and after reducing their number, the task was completed.

Don't underestimate this scroll. Shiro didn't just see it as part of his deal with Hoshigakure; Shiro was thinking much further ahead.

In this scroll, Shiro recorded almost all the C-rank Ninjutsu common to the Five Great Nations, as well as a few B-rank techniques.

In the Shinobi World, what's most sought-after? For any ninja, the answer is always the same: Ninjutsu!

Therefore, any part of Shiro's scroll can be exchanged for a lot of money. Grade C is one part, Grade B is one part, Grade CB is one part, and then each attribute can be divided into five parts!

They're selling like hotcakes!

This is the most profitable part, and most importantly, these Ninjutsu don't belong to Konoha or Shiro; it's a pure no-cost business, and they can be sold in bulk to certain factions.

They could also sell them individually to well-funded lone ninjas; this is the path to sustainable development, much better than selling Explosive Tag.

However, this document is not intended for sale; it's for a trade with the Hoshigakure. It's just unknown whether they will agree to it.

But no matter what, he had to give it a try. With that thought, Shiro took out his mask, put it on, and began his journey towards the Land of Bears.

After closing the Workshop and activating the surrounding Magic Barrier, Shiro boarded Flying Bird and flew towards the Land of Bears.

It's not far from where Shiro is now to the Land of Bears; it's just a matter of crossing the entire Land of Fire.

Furthermore, they cannot fly directly over the sky, because Konoha is now on guard against the skies. Thanks to Shiro, most of the slightly larger birds near Konoha have been cleared out by the village.

Therefore, it was impossible for Shiro to fly directly to the Land of Bears. He would have to stop and walk for a while along the way, which would take a lot of time. So, after making preparations, Shiro set off immediately.

Meanwhile, in Konoha, something was happening that Shiro deeply regretted. If only he could have gone back to the village to take a look.

"Kakashi, are you going to training today?" Rin asked Kakashi, her hands behind her back.

"Yes, I want to finish Shiro Lang's test as soon as possible and graduate as soon as possible!"

"Come on, Kakashi, haven't you realized yet? Shiro won't let you graduate early."

"Shut up, I'm not like you, you loser."

"Huh?! Who are you calling a loser! Arrogant Kakashi!"

"I'm talking to you, you loser."

"Damn it! I challenge you!"

"Alright, I'll let you try your luck on the training field later, you bottom-of-the-barrel guy who's never beaten before~"

"Damn it! That bastard Kakashi!"

"Last place!"

Rin followed behind them with her hands behind her back, quietly watching the two bickering, letting their voices echo through the streets of Konoha.

As it turned out, Shiro's decision to let Kakashi stay at the school was the right one. Although his combat experience was much less than in the original story, his mentality was much better than before.

With Obito, Rin, and Guy by his side, Kakashi has basically emerged from the shadow of Sakumo's suicide. Although he still cares about it, he no longer ignores many things around him like before.

Compared to this gain, the combat experience that one would inevitably acquire sooner or later seems rather insignificant.

Now, the three of them train together every day after school. At first, Rin and Obito just wanted to comfort Kakashi and hope that he could get out of the shadow in time.

Over time, this became a habit for them. Whenever they had nothing to do at home, the three of them would train together. Except for Obito, who was a little unhappy about it, they all felt very natural about it.

Furthermore, because this was in front of the goddess, Obito trained even harder, and he would challenge Kakashi to duels every time, hoping to regain his lost face. Well, the result was obvious.

Of course, because Obito was often beaten by Kakashi, he trained even harder and his strength improved a lot. In terms of strength, he was definitely in the top five of the class!

However, this guy always loses the competition during class assessments for various reasons...

Therefore, this did not stop Kakashi from teasing Obito. Every time he saw Obito's angry face, Kakashi felt that Shiro was right. Others' pain was indeed his own happiness!

And so, amidst all the bickering, the three arrived at the training ground. Kakashi and Obito first engaged in their agreed-upon duel, but the outcome was entirely predictable.

As expected, Obito lost to Kakashi, but that's not surprising. Without the Sharingan, there are very few people in the entire Uchiha Clan whose talent surpasses Kakashi's.

Furthermore, Kakashi received guidance from Sakumo from a young age, while Obito had little instruction, so it's understandable that he lagged Kakashi.

After the competition, the three began their respective training.

At times like these, the difference between Rin, a commoner, and the two of them becomes apparent. After being comforted by Rin, Obito excitedly ran to the side and breathed fire.

Kakashi was studying the key Hand Seals for Lightning Release Ninjutsu, while Rin was studying basic Medical Ninjutsu knowledge she had borrowed from the school.

The class differences were laid bare at this moment, but fortunately, the three of them were close enough that they didn't care much about such things; otherwise, they would have broken up long ago.

It wasn't that Kakashi and Obito couldn't find a suitable Ninjutsu for Rin, but rather that it wasn't appropriate for them to give it to her. Such a thing would hurt their pride, especially since they were of the same generation and it wasn't convenient for them.

If it's a gift from Shiro, then there's no problem. After all, Shiro is their senior, so they can give him not just one, but two.

Unfortunately, Shiro is not in the village right now, but Obito is already making plans for Rin. The two have a pretty good relationship now, so sending her gifts isn't out of the ordinary.

He planned to invite Taichi over on Rin's birthday, and then use him to teach Rin a few Ninjutsu. That would make sense, and the plan worked! (^^●)
