Intelligence

After this period of training, Shiro has made great progress. First of all, he has made up for some of the gaps in his basic combat skills. After all, his foundation was weak before, so his progress is obviously more obvious now.

Secondly, he has truly mastered the Reinforcement Magecraft, no longer using the incomplete version granted by the Heroic Spirit Card. Its power has improved slightly compared to before, but more importantly, its consumption has been greatly reduced.

Compared to that, the slight increase in power from Reinforcement Magecraft is nothing.

Finally, what pleased Shiro the most was that the Ainsworth Family's Replacement Magecraft had begun to take shape, bringing them one step closer to setting up Magecraft Workshop.

In fact, if the Ainsworth Family's Replacement Magecraft wasn't so difficult, Shiro would have wanted to use it as Magic Crest inheritance Magecraft.

Unfortunately, Shiro has only just begun to learn after studying for so long, and that's only with Medea's Magecraft knowledge; otherwise, he might not have even gotten started.

Therefore, Shiro had no choice but to abandon this tempting idea. After all, putting everything else aside, the ability to freely Displacement Space was still quite impressive.

Unfortunately, even though Shiro learned the secret of the Ainsworth Family's Replacement Magecraft through the system, Shiro was too intellectually challenged to learn it.

However, Shiro wasn't too disappointed, since Projection Magecraft was already enough for Shiro to enjoy.

He simply didn't have the energy to do anything else.

During these two weeks, while Shiro was diligently training, Taichi and the others weren't idle either. Despite their rigorous training, Taichi... well, he still hadn't mastered the Nature Transformation of fire attribute.

After all, Taichi doesn't have any special abilities, and it's only been half a month, so there won't be any major changes yet. However, he has become more proficient in using his Two-Tomoe Sharingan.

At the same time, Taichi also discovered his shortcomings during this assessment: his attack methods were too limited, as he had previously focused on training in Genjutsu and Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

This has led to a very passive situation when encountering ninjas who counter him, so Taichi has added new combat methods.

In other words, it's Lightning Release Nintaijutsu. Taichi, who possesses the Sharingan, has a significant advantage in this area. Furthermore, the Uchiha Clan also has many Lightning Release Nintaijutsu.

Although most of them are of low level, it's enough for now.

In summary, although Taichi's original skills did not improve much, he acquired new skills, making his development more comprehensive and thus enhancing his overall strength.

In comparison, Shikaki really hasn't changed much. Firstly, the secret techniques are difficult to master, and secondly, he's always relied on his brain for a living, but that's something you're born with, and training doesn't have much of an effect.

However, his role in the team is that of a strategist, and he generally doesn't let Shikaki participate in battles directly, so the impact is not significant.

Early that morning, Shiro and the others arrived at the Hokage's office to wait. The other team seemed to have other matters to hand over and had not yet arrived.

The Third Hokage did not announce Shiro and his group's mission for the time being.

After waiting quietly for a while, three people walked into the Hokage's office.

"Lord Hokage"

"Yes, it's here."

All three were Chunin. Judging from their attire, two were clan ninjas, and one was a commoner. They were all easy to identify: one was wearing Uchiha tennis racket uniform, and the other was wearing an Aburame long trench coat.

"Ahem, everyone's here. Let me explain the mission for this mission."

Upon hearing this, Shiro and the others immediately stopped looking each other up and down and listened attentively to what the Third Hokage to say.

"This mission was commissioned by the Yugakure of the Land of Hot Water. They currently lack the strength and energy to handle this matter, so they entrusted the mission to us."

"It's important to note that due to the urgency of this mission, no intelligence has been received yet. This time, you'll have to rely on yourselves. That's why this mission has been assigned to you."

"Finally, this is the first international cooperation since the war, and failure is absolutely not an option!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage." X7

The group answered firmly, knowing that this was also a test. If they completed the task well, it would mean that the village would trust them more and give them more opportunities for development.

Otherwise, there are plenty of ninjas who are more suitable and stronger than them, so why choose them?

"Okay, go down."

Village entrance.

"Let me introduce myself first, so we can make a plan. I'll go first, Nakamura, I'm skilled in Wind Release and Earth Release."

Huh? Earth Release? Upon hearing this, Shiro, Taichi, and Shikaki looked at Nakamura in surprise. He'd only been a few days, and he'd already mastered Earth Release?

However, they didn't say much, but continued with their self-introductions, "Nara Shikaki, you're good at making plans. I'll be making the plan for this mission, no objections?"

"Hmm, no." The Nara Clan still has a great reputation, so there's nothing to object to.

"Uchiha Taichi is skilled in Genjutsu)."

"Emiya Shiro an expert archer; he can hit the target within a thousand meters."

"A kilometer? Wow, that's fast! Didn't you say you could run 800 meters just a couple of days ago?" Taichi asked in surprise.

"Huh? Didn't I tell you guys? Before the last exam, I mastered a secret technique with a maximum viewing distance of 2000 meters, but my actual shooting range isn't that far."

"Maybe you forgot, but 2000 meters, Shiro, really?"

"Don't worry, Captain, it will only go higher, not lower."

"That's really impressive. You're almost on par with the Hyuga Clan now."

"How could that be, Captain Byakugan has X-ray vision, which I don't. I need to be standing high up to do it. Alright, enough about me, it's your turn."

The Uchiha on the other side glanced at Shiro in surprise, then said, "Uchiha Yue is skilled in Fire Release and has already awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan."

"Hmm? Uchiha Yue? Mizuki's brother?" However, Shiro didn't ask, as it wasn't the right time yet.

But Shiro still glanced at him a few more times. Two-Tomoe, huh? That's an elite Chunin. No wonder Hikari likes him; he's handsome and strong.

"Aburame Isshin and skilled in reconnaissance."

"Toyota is skilled in Sensory Ninjutsu."

"Hmm, a sensory ninja?"

"Yes."

"Looks like there really isn't much information this time," Nakamura sighed, then handed the mission scroll to Shikaki.

"Shikaki, this is the mission scroll. Take a look and decide how to proceed."

"Hmm." After saying that, Shikaki took the scroll and began to read it carefully.

Shiro and the others watched quietly from the side, without saying a word, so as not to disturb him.

After a while, Shikaki looked up and said, "No, the information is too little, and the risk is too great. Let's go to Yugakure first and see if they have any more information there."

"Alright, let's set off then. But be prepared, they probably don't have much intelligence, otherwise our team wouldn't be composed like this."

"Yes, Captain."

After saying that, Shiro began to Hand Seals, "Summoning Technique!"

"What is he?" Uchiha Yue Shiro asked curiously, using Summoning Jutsu.

"Oh, Shiro is the contractor of Ryūchi Cave, and he's been in charge of scouting." Nakamura replied from the side.

"Ryūchi Cave? But isn't he Lord White Fang's disciple?"
