Heroic Spirit Synchronization

As the green light on Shiro's right hand Issen and disappeared, the Explosive Tag burning on Kurama Senwai's body also went out.

Shiro dared to waste his breath on him because he had insurance; not only was there the ring on his right hand, but Shiro could also Projection another defensive Noble Phantasm at any time, giving him the capital to be reckless.

"Ha, darkness? You, who come from a prominent family, still think the village is dark. Are you just too narrow-minded, or has the village really become that dark?"

There is no single correct answer to this question, because both are true.

He was indeed too narrow-minded. As Shiro said, he came from a prominent family, which gave him a starting point several times higher than that of other commoners.

Even so, he still felt it was unfair, ignoring the village's light and focusing on its darkness; clearly, there was something wrong with him.

In addition, the village does have problems. The dark forces led by Danzo are growing stronger in the village, and the struggles are increasing. The death of White Fang is an important sign of this.

The Third Hokage has indeed grown old. He no longer possesses much of the Shinobi Hero presence he once had, and has even become somewhat indecisive.

Based on what Shiro has been saying about his interactions with Kushina and the Kushina, the Third Hokage is now considering making Minato the next Hokage.

However, he still hesitated and still held hope for Orochimaru, as evidenced by Kushina others' observations of Orochimaru's recent frequent heart-to-heart talks with the Third Hokage and his attitude during his recent transaction with Shiro.

It can be said that the current darkness in Konoha is entirely caused by the Third Hokage. If he had been more forceful, Danzo would not have wielded such power, and naturally, he wouldn't have been able to cause so much trouble.

Konoha were in that state, it wouldn't be like it is now.

However, none of this mattered to Shiro. No matter how dark the village was, he already possessed sufficient ability to protect himself.

His current task is to try to survive a little longer and then slowly lay out his plans.

After sealing Kurama Senwai's corpse, Shiro went to an inn in the nearest town to study Magecraft while waiting for Azu's information about Kameda Jiro's location.

Of course, he also took a break. Releasing two Noble Phantasm at the same time this time was not such a burden for Shiro, who had obtained the Incantation and whose control had been greatly enhanced.

However, the next opponent Kameda Jiro, is no simple opponent. His ability to conceal himself is far superior to Kurama Senwai's, Shiro will need to use the Noble Phantasm that he can only Projection recently.

Then there's the other Noble Phantasm that might be used in the battle against Kameda Jiro, so Shiro needs to rest well and be in top condition to face the enemy, otherwise the risk is too great.

Besides, the location information that Azu needs to provide also requires time to prepare. Leading the way for Shiro just now was quite taxing, so he needs to rest a bit.

Azu is a good person. He has excellent natural talent and is very hardworking. He is also very loyal to Shiro. He deserves to be nurtured and we can't let him go to waste like this.

After studying Magecraft for a while, Shiro suddenly remembered a way to quickly improve his strength, and as long as he didn't fully commit, the impact wouldn't be significant.

After all, Shiro's mental cultivation has improved significantly, so he can still handle a simple discussion. Immediately, Shiro summoned his Status Panel, which he hadn't seen in a long time.

"System, compare my attribute and skill panels with those of Heroic Spirit Emiya."

"Yes, the comparison was successful!"

Attributes: (The values in parentheses are the Heroic Spirit's Emiya panel)

Strength: C++ (Under Improvement) (D)

Durability: C++ (Under Improvement) (C)

Agile: Same as above (C)

Mana: B (B)

Luck: C[E(EX)]

Mind's Eye: C(B)

Clairvoyance: D (C, Hawk's Eye: B+)

Magecraft: Omitted.

This is the current difference in stats between Shiro and the Heroic Spirit Emiya. In terms of attributes alone, Shiro completely surpasses Emiya. However, Shiro is inferior to him in Projection, so he doesn't actually have an advantage in this aspect.

After all, this special Projection Magecraft can modify the panel, and it's normal that Shiro's modification isn't as smooth as Emiya's.

Moreover, besides attributes, skills are also very important, and none of Shiro's skills can compare to his. If they were to face off, it would be an absolute crushing defeat.

However, Shiro wasn't too discouraged. After all, Hitoe -Emiya had worked so hard for so many years, Shiro had almost caught up with him in just a few years thanks to some kind of cheat code. There was nothing to be resentful about.

However, it was precisely because he failed to catch up that Shiro was able to make further progress in a short period of time.

Unlike potential that can be improved through the system, Shiro's skills can only be trained by himself. At most, the system will assist in improving his skills when he reaches the level cap and has accumulated enough experience, thus saving him the time required for skill advancement.

However, this is still a system, and there are still unethical ways to gain something for nothing, such as rapidly improving one's mastery of skills.

This refers to the Heroic Spirit Synchronization that Shiro initially abandoned!

Heroic Spirit Synchronization is a core ability of the system. If you can achieve perfect synergy with Heroic Spirit, you will perfectly inherit all of the Heroic Spirit's power without needing arduous training.

Of course, by then, you will no longer be yourself.

Because of this concern, Shiro has never really used this function, only using the minimum training boost provided by the Heroic Spirit Card.

What he feared was that he wouldn't be able to hold on and would perish completely, becoming Heroic Spirit Emiya. He didn't think he had the ability to resist Emiya's will, and it was very likely that he would become that Emiya who had almost lost himself.

However, this function can now be activated. First of all, Shiro's mental cultivation has greatly improved, and he can now barely resist that will.

Secondly, Shiro doesn't intend to maximize the use of this function. He's still worried about being assimilated. Shiro just wants to deepen it a little, for example, by acting as a messenger of justice.

At the same time, Shiro only needs to use this amplifying power to catch up with the parts where Shiro is weaker than Emiya, and then he can go back to being himself. This period of time is enough for Shiro to manage.

Although it's still a bit risky, Shiro is prepared to give it a try, as it will save Shiro a lot of time, allowing him to prepare the plan sooner.

The only downside is that there probably won't be any profits during this period. After all, taking action for money hardly makes Hero of Justice, right?

But so be it. Money can be earned again. He didn't want to let a small amount of money delay important matters.

Unfortunately, this plan takes a long time, and it definitely won't be enough to deal with Kameda Jiro. Otherwise, if they waited until he was upgraded before dealing with him, Shiro would have a better chance of success.

But it's alright, Shiro is already confident he can beat him now, and even if something unexpected happens, he can still save his life. A little more or less won't make a difference.
