The Scamming Shadow Clone Technique

It's worth mentioning that the reason Shiro was able to accept this mission in such a short period of time was because the land in the Land of Fire was fertile and the weeds grew quickly.

The garbage is because the villagers live well and there are many tourists, so some garbage flows downstream every day. Therefore, these two types of tasks are cyclical.

And because few people take on these kinds of tasks, Shiro hadn't had any competitors for a while, so it was a bit surprising that one of them was suddenly taken away, but it didn't have much of an impact.

It's just a D-level mission, it doesn't pay much.

The only downside is that the quest that was taken away broke Shiro's quest chain, so Shiro plans to leave it for last.

When Shiro arrived at the last location, he saw an acquaintance. Yes, that's right, it was Mizuki. After all, he knew a Genin had just graduated.

However, it's more accurate to say that Mizuki and the others are training rather than carrying out a mission. While Shiro had completed all his other tasks, Mizuki and the others hadn't finished picking up the trash on the water, and everyone was soaking wet.

"Huh? Mizuki? So it was you who took on this mission."

"Huh? Shiro? What are you doing here?"

"Just doing a mission. I had nothing better to do anyway, so I thought I'd take on a mission."

"Mizuki, who is this?" one of Mizuki's teammates asked curiously.

"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Shiro, he graduated a year earlier than us, but he's already Chunin."

"Shiro, this is my teammate, Takeda Ichiro. His name sounds similar to yours. Although Takeda is a commoner, his Taijutsu are amazing."

"Ah, I know, I saw it that day."

"This is Minamoto no Raikō, she..."

"What?! Minamoto no Raiko!?" Before Mizuki could finish speaking, Shiro exclaimed in surprise! (As usual, there are pictures in the thread.)

"Hey, what's this about Minamoto no Raiko? Don't interrupt me!" Mizuki frowned and said with displeasure.

"Ha~ha~ keep going, keep going."

"Really, Hikari is good at swordsmanship, and her swordsmanship is very impressive."

"Swordsmanship? Why wasn't it used in the assessment?"

"Because it's too dangerous. Although Hikari has mastered her family's ancestral swordsmanship, its power is too great and it's easy to accidentally injure someone, so she didn't use it during the assessment."

"I see." Shiro glanced at Hikari, who seemed to be a genius as well. During this time, Shiro had heard Sakumo mention that some sword techniques in the village were very powerful, but extremely difficult to learn.

Shiro had only casually flipped through the pages and, finding nothing suitable for him, hadn't paid much attention. He never expected to find one here.

"This is Mitokado Heiichi, our teacher. He's an Elite Jonin!"

"Mito? Is he a relative of Mitokado Homura?" Shiro secretly wondered.

"Hello, Shiro. I've heard your name mentioned by Lady Mito many times. It's great to finally meet you in person."

"Haha, you flatter me. It's just a little bit of cleverness."

"Teacher Heiichi, do you know Shiro too?"

"Of course, he achieved excellent results in this Chunin Ninja Exams, demonstrating impressive combat skills, and was even accepted as a disciple by Lord White Fang."

"Wow, that's amazing! He's about our age!" Hikari said admiringly.

"Pshaw, what's so great about you? I'll surpass you sooner or later!"

"Really? Well then, senior, I'll be looking forward to your performance, Mizuki. But you should practice Water Walking first."

"Speaking of which, Takeda- kun is a commoner. And you're called Minamoto no Raiko, oops, uh, can I call you Hikari?"

"Yes, it's okay."

"Hmm, it's understandable that Hikari can't Water Walking because he's focused on swordsmanship, but why can't you either?" Shiro smiled as he looked at Mizuki.

"Hmph, this kind of thing is completely useless, why bother practicing it?"

"Ha, now I'm starting to believe you're from the Uchiha. How about this, I'll spar with you and you'll see. We're the same age, and we'll use Ninjutsu at the same time. I know Wind Release, and yours should be Fire Release, right?"

"Yes, but you haven't forgotten, have you? Fire Release is effective against Wind Release, especially since it's Fire Release from our Uchiha Clan."

"Don't worry, I know better than you how powerful your Uchiha's Fire Release. Taichi, who isn't good at Fire Release, can have that kind of power. However, the powerful one is the Uchiha, not you. Come on."

"Okay, train without worry, I'll protect you." Heiichi also wanted Shiro to put their arrogance to a halt. They hadn't been training very seriously these past two days, perhaps because the pressure from their peers was greater.

"Teacher, is everything alright?"

"Don't worry, Hikari, with me here, nothing unexpected will happen. You guys can also see the difference between you and true geniuses."

Upon hearing Heiichi's words, Hikari Takeda turned their attention to the arena, eager to know just how amazing Shiro was, a man praised so highly by his teacher.

"How do you want to compete?"

"It's simple, you use Fire Release, I'll use Wind Release, and we'll just clash."

"Okay, you said it!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Haha, Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

In an instant, Shiro's Wind Release directly dispersed Mizuki's Fire Release!

"Earth Release · Earth Style: Earth Wall."

Heiichi, who was standing nearby, used his prepared Earth Release to block the attack for Mizuki.

"How could this be? The Wind Release actually dispersed the Fire Release!"

"Nothing is impossible. Shiro's Chakra control is far superior to yours. He didn't waste much Chakra. The gap between you is too big. So if you want to catch up with Shiro, you should work harder first."

"That's right. If you can't even Water Walking, you can't possibly defeat me. So, keep it up, I'm about to begin my training."

"Well, let's talk about your specific thoughts when the main body arrives. My Chakra is running low, so I need to focus on my studies."

"The real body?! Heiichi -sensei, what does he mean?"

"That means he was just a Shadow Clone Technique, possessing only half the Chakra of the original body. Therefore, he didn't win by increasing his Chakra."

After listening, Mizuki remained silent for a moment, then silently walked towards the lake to continue her Water Walking training.

She was furious. She was Uchiha! How could she lose to a commoner? They were the same age! So, she was determined to catch up with him! And then, humiliate him mercilessly! (`ω)

Hikari Takeda exchanged a silent glance before following him to training.

Heiichi this, Heiichi nodded with satisfaction. Falling behind wasn't terrible; what was terrible was not trying. Thinking of this, Heiichi looked at Shiro gratefully. Thanks to him, otherwise he would have had to put in a lot more effort.

A moment later, Shiro's Shadow Clone Technique vanished with a "bang," and Hikari and the others looked at Heiichi.

"It's nothing, I just ran out of Chakra. Shiro should be here soon."

Hearing Heiichi's words, the three of them focused on their training again. For some reason, Heiichi felt that Shiro's Shadow Clone Technique were a bit strange, especially the smile before they disappeared, which was a little eerie.

At this moment, Shiro received the memories of the Shadow Clone Technique.
