Mission

"No, absolutely not! I have to change my name!"

"Well, since you're the master now, you get to decide. So, what do you plan to call it?"

"Hmm~ let's call it Blue Feather."

"But... it's black."

"..." Mizuki's face darkened, she turned her head away, and said angrily, "Hmph, I don't care, my name is Blue Feather!"

"Ha~ Whatever you want, whatever makes you happy."

"Mizuki, you and Shiro go play for a while. Your father and I are heading back now. Be careful."

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm a ninja!"

After Mizuki's parents had walked away, Shiro asked Mizuki, "Let's go, what are you going to treat me to? Make it clear, no cheap stuff."

"Hey, I'm a girl! How can you be so shameless? Tell me honestly!"

"Excuse me, and besides, I just became Master White Fang's apprentice a couple of days ago, and my conscience has already been eaten by his summoned beast."

"..." Mizuki first looked at Shiro seriously, then turned and walked forward. "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You can know a person's face but not their heart."

"Hahaha, this time I'll eat you out of house and home!"

The two figures gradually disappeared into the street. At this moment, Okita and Saori had long forgotten their original purpose and started dating in the store, no longer caring about Shiro.

That evening, after finishing his evening prayers, Shiro began planning his schedule for the next few days, because according to Nakamura, Shiro and his team wouldn't be going on any missions for the next two weeks.

He needed to rest first, but Shiro's plan required a lot of funds, so Shiro had no choice but to set his sights on D-rank missions.

Although the amount of money is small, the advantage is that it doesn't require leaving the village. Little by little, it adds up. However, Shiro still needs to arrange the specific procedures to ensure that it doesn't affect his cultivation, which is the most crucial point.

The next morning, Shiro brought up the matter with Sakumo, Sakumo readily agreed and immediately adjusted Shiro's training plan.

It wasn't that Sakumo didn't want to pay for Shiro's expenses, but rather that Shiro hadn't brought it up. Although they had only spent two days together, Sakumo could still tell that Shiro had a strong sense of pride.

Therefore, Shiro wouldn't offer to help Shiro without Sakumo asking, since while the amount was a huge sum for Shiro, it was nothing to Sakumo.

Besides, Shiro and the others are in a somewhat special situation; they've never done these low-level tasks before. It's good for them to experience it, since they might have the opportunity to become team leaders in the future.

Without hesitation, Shiro went to the Hokage Office Building to receive his mission after completing his morning training.

Generally, ordinary missions are accepted on the first floor of the Hokage Office Building, while some important missions require the Hokage to personally select suitable candidates to complete them.

Shiro only takes on low-level missions, so he doesn't need to go to the Hokage.

Upon arriving at the mission hall, Shiro glanced around and noticed that most of the low-level missions involved physical labor or errands, requiring virtually no combat.

Shiro first took a look and accepted an errand-running task. Unfortunately, he was not allowed to accept multiple tasks at the same time because these tasks had a short time limit.

Taking on too many tasks can waste time and affect the completion of the mission.

Shiro had no choice but to accept the mission; it wasn't specifically targeting him. However, since he couldn't accept multiple missions at the same time, Shiro took out the weights that Dai had prepared for him.

You can do both the mission and training without neglecting either.

That afternoon, Shiro was busy doing these kinds of tasks. Shiro planned to do all the low-level tasks in the next two days, and then select the tasks with the best cost-performance ratio.

Because of the war, there were countless low-level missions, which caused some trouble for Shiro. Missions were too hard to find, and each time there was a huge stack of requests.

That evening, Shiro continued to summarize, recording the time spent and income from the tasks he completed during the day for easy comparison.

The next afternoon, Shiro chose physical labor this time, clearing weeds from the fields. However, this type of task could be taken on at the same time, so Shiro found several tasks in similar locations.

Upon arrival, Shiro created a Shadow Clone Technique to study, while his main body began working.

Over the next few days, Shiro completed the other types of tasks one by one, and Shiro summarized them.

The most common task was found to be errand-running, but these tasks cannot be performed simultaneously. Tasks like clearing weeds and garbage can be accepted at the same time, but these tasks are not common, and generally no one accepts them, so they can be considered as an alternative.

There are also many advertisements for hunting wild animals, mostly posted by nearby villages, and a few by restaurants in the villages, but those are rare.

However, although the pay is slightly higher, it is very time-consuming and not very efficient.

After careful consideration, Shiro decided to prioritize taking on tasks such as clearing weeds and trash in the wild, and then look for easy hunting tasks that only require physical effort and not much brainpower. If there are no such tasks, he will take on errand-running tasks.

Taking turns will be more efficient.

At the same time, based on Shiro's personal experience, Shiro decided to slow down the pace of the mission and conserve more energy for training, because there was simply too much for Shiro to learn.

Let's not even talk about the Ainsworth Family's Replacement Magecraft; we haven't even figured it out yet, and now they're going to add an Reinforcement Magecraft.

Shiro originally learned Shirou's Reinforcement Magecraft, which had some flaws and was far less powerful than orthodox Reinforcement Magecraft. However, during this period, Shiro had almost completely reached Shirou's level, and even surpassed him.

After all, Shirou's focus was not on Reinforcement Magecraft. Although he had been practicing for more than ten years, he had been doing it wrong all along. Fortunately, Shiro had been intentionally adjusting it from the beginning.

The purpose is to continue training now, but there will be no more bonuses from the Heroic Spirit Card afterward. Fortunately, I have the foundation from before, so I won't be completely clueless.

Therefore, Shiro will not focus all his attention on the mission; he can distinguish between what is more important and Shiro less important.

With time to spare, Shiro brought up the system panel and began copying down the Magecraft knowledge from the system database. What could he do? The system was so outdated.

For the next few days, Shiro continued to complete tasks according to plan, doing them repeatedly like a robot. Fortunately, Shiro still had time to cultivate, otherwise he might not have been able to last this long.

After all, it's too boring.

That day, after finishing Shiro morning training, Shiro arrived at the Hokage Office Building as usual. According to his calculations, the cleanup mission in the field was almost ready to begin.

However, when Shiro arrived, he noticed that one of the tasks was missing, and asked curiously, "Sister Xuanyi, where's the other task? What, are people starting to take on these kinds of tasks lately?"

"Hmm, there's been a group of graduating Genin recently, and they've always taken on these kinds of missions. A team just took one, and now you're taking on these missions again?"

"Yes, this is more efficient."

"Okay, here you go, this is the receipt."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Xuanyi. I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

It's worth mentioning that the reason Shiro was able to accept this mission in such a short period of time was because...
