After following it for a while, Shiro was glad he hadn't acted impulsively, because it was just a special clone with a certain physical form, similar to Earth Clone.

So Shiro continued to secretly follow him to the hall and then back to the room. However, Shiro did not notice that as he approached the room, a corner had changed.

However, that was only in Shiro's blind spot, not in this ninja's blind spot, since that was what he had set up for vigilance.

It's not just this corner; there are many similar ones. As long as someone is monitoring the corresponding location, it will inevitably cause changes, thus alerting him.

That's the situation now. However, like Shiro, he wasn't sure if that location was Shiro's true body. Therefore, he didn't show any change on the surface and returned to his room with a normal expression. At the same time, he dispelled the clone that he had just exchanged for using Body Flicker Technique.

On the surface, nothing seemed to be happening; they were still dealing with the things on the table.

A while later, he walked out of the room, still looking perfectly normal.

There was no point in staying any longer, since he hadn't found any trace of Shiro yet, so he decided to move to a different location.

If someone is indeed following him, they will inevitably leave clues along the way, and then it will come down to who is more capable.

He was quite confident in this regard, and indeed he was; he had only been out of the hotel for a short time when he spotted Shiro.

However, to be on the safe side, he did not choose to make his move here. He planned to take a longer route so that if this was the real body, he could fight without restraint.

If not, he could have retreated smoothly.

Meanwhile, Shiro was initially quite cautious, unaware that he had been exposed. However, as time passed and the scenery changed, he gradually realized this as well.

At first, things were fine, as they were still in town. However, as time went on, Shiro gradually realized that they were approaching the outskirts of town. The answer was obvious: he had been discovered.

Even so, Shiro did not reveal himself, but continued to follow him invisibly, only now focusing his attention on being on guard rather than on concealing his presence.

After all, the enemy could attack Shiro at any time, and he had to be ready to fight at any moment.

This time, Shiro plans to mainly use Wind Release in combat. After this period of training, he realized that he still doesn't know enough about using Wind Release and there is a lot he needs to learn.

Perfect timing! His opponent is also Wind Release ninja; Shiro should be able to learn a lot from fighting him.

And so, the two walked one after the other toward the edge of town, until they were out of sight. Suddenly, the other man flicked his hand, and a Shuriken wrapped in Wind Release shot toward Shiro!

Shiro wasn't surprised that he knew his location, since he wasn't really hiding anymore. Not to mention the other party, he could find him himself. So, he immediately dodged away in a Body Flicker Technique.

At the same time, the No Face May King's invisibility was broken, and Shiro's figure appeared after a flash of black light.

Upon seeing Shiro, the other party paused slightly, then said, "Smiling Wind Demon? Interesting. You dare to come and kill me? You've got some nerve."

Shiro ignored the other party's words and charged forward. The other party was clearly stalling for time to extract Chakra, a common tactic used by all ninjas.

Shiro did the same thing before when his chakra was low. That wind blade Shuriken must have consumed a lot of Chakra. Of course, this could also be part of the opponent's plan, a case of thinking in reverse.

However, Shiro didn't care. He had plenty of mana, and the speed of his Projection Noble Phantasm was still decent, so he could at least block the attack instantly.

As Shiro later suspected, the other party was indeed faking it. The moment Shiro approached, the other party quickly threw out several wind blade Shuriken.

Using the speed of his reflexes granted by his Mind's Eye, Shiro slightly shifted his body a few times, dodging the Shuriken one by one, while a faint blue light flashed in his eyes.

After that, the two quickly engaged in battle. However, what made Shiro slightly curious was that the opponent's information clearly stated that he was a ninja proficient in Wind Release.

However, so far, apart from those few wind blade Shuriken, the opponent has only used Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation and not any Ninjutsu. Obviously, the criterion for judging whether someone is good at Wind Release is not what Shiro thought, that is, using a lot of Wind Release Ninjutsu makes someone Wind Release ninja.

The opponent used Wind Release Chakra very well, and Shiro benefited greatly from it. Therefore, he was happy to continue to deal with him.

Unfortunately, the other person didn't want this to happen, so without any warning, they raised their hand directly to their mouth.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"When did you form the hand seal?!"

As expected, the unprepared Shiro was blown away by the Great Breakthrough. Fortunately, he used his Reinforcement Magecraft in time, otherwise he would have been more than just thrown out.

As Shiro got up from the ground, he didn't have time to think about when his opponent had formed the hand seals, because even after seeing that Shiro wasn't seriously injured, his opponent's hands didn't stop, but instead quickly formed hand seals, and judging from the complexity of the seals, it should be a high-level Ninjutsu.

Seeing this, Shiro, who had just gotten up from the ground, also began to Hand Seals, intending to use Ninjutsu to counter Ninjutsu!

At the same time, he leaped backward, unaware of how fast his opponent's Hand Seals were forming.

However, judging from the Wind Release he just used, it was definitely no slower than his, and might even be faster. Furthermore, he Hand Seals before Shiro. Therefore, it's good to gain a little advantage.

As the opponent's seals appeared one by one, Shiro recognized the opponent's Ninjutsu, which was the same as the one he was using now, both being B-rank Ninjutsu: Wind Release: Pressure Damage.

Upon seeing this, Shiro slowed his retreat slightly, because Shiro realized that the opponent's Pressure Damage was the original version, but this one was more powerful than Shiro's.

Furthermore, its power is not as great as Shiro's. Of course, the opponent's mastery of Wind Release is definitely stronger than Shiro's, so he should be able to close that gap.

But Shiro doesn't care anymore. He'll just increase his Chakra. Anyway, he has plenty of Chakra, which is all he has!

Blue is the color! So capricious!

Despite all the analysis Shiro gave, very little time actually passed; in just a second or two, they completed the Hand Seals one after another.

Shiro was lagging behind. There was nothing he could do; although he used fewer hand seals than his opponent, he wasn't as fast at Hand Seals. Shiro hadn't practiced this aspect much.

After all, he rarely uses Ninjutsu, and the speed of Hand Seals can only be accumulated slowly and cannot be rushed. In this respect, no matter how much experience Shiro borrows, it will be the same.

After all, the speed of Hand Seals depends on the body's muscle reaction, and has little to do with thinking.

Of course, the difference between the two wasn't that big; it was only a fraction of a second that they blew at each other!

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

"Boom!!!"
