Chapter 142 Mission

After the deal with Orochimaru, Shiro's training focus was completely placed on magic, and the only other thing he ensured was basic daily training.

He devoted all his remaining time to it, and didn't even attend the Eagle Project discussion meeting. However, it was pointless to go, as he didn't have much say in the first place.

Secondly, the deal still didn't go through this time. According to Sakumo's retelling, it seems that Shiro needs to further reduce the cost, but Shiro didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

He still practiced on his own, following his own path. After all, the Eagle Project was a pitfall! Shiro was the most clear about this. The most important thing about the Eagle Project was the influence it brought.

However, this will take several years to obtain. In the early stage, there is only investment but no harvest. This is just like the high-speed rail in Shilang's flower-growing family in his previous life.

Similarly, dividends can only be distributed after the Eagle Plan generates profits.

Therefore, Shiro would not be foolish enough to put his energy into it, he is not that great.

Of course, Shiro didn't practice every day. He would occasionally go out for gatherings and so on. It was these gatherings that made Shiro realize a blind spot. (Continue to fill in the gaps...)

It was about the Rasengan. Originally, when Shiro was chatting, he vaguely mentioned the problem of Minato's insufficient attack power, and wanted to guide him to develop the Rasengan.

Therefore, Shiro realized that Minato had already started developing the Rasengan a long time ago and had already had a rough idea of ​​it.

It was fine for the others, after all, Minato was a genius, and developing ninjutsu was nothing to him, and he still didn't succeed.

But Shiro was confused. He clearly remembered the clothes Jiraiya wore when he showed Minato the Rasengan. Therefore, he always thought that Minato came up with the idea after fighting with the Raikage, also known as Ai.

After all, ordinary ninjas don’t have the same defense as Ai, and they will die with just one kunai.

And now, World War II has only ended for a year or two, this is no longer a butterfly reaction, this is a roc reaction!

However, after Shilang calmed down and thought about it, he remembered some things and discovered a blind spot.

In his previous life, Shiro played a Naruto game, in which the ninja skills had to be approved by the copyright holder, and one of the skills of the young Jiraiya was the Rasengan!

For this reason, Shiro went to check it out, and then found out that he also used the Rasengan when testing Nagato and the others!

Therefore, Shiro guessed that Jiraiya must have returned to the village during the time he was teaching Nagato and the others. It was during this period that Minato developed the Rasengan and taught it to Jiraiya.

After Jiraiya learned it, he came back to show off to Minato, and then changed back into combat clothes to fight Nagato and the others.

Although it's a bit far-fetched and doesn't stand up to scrutiny, such as Minato not using the Rasengan to deal with Ai, this is the most reasonable explanation Shirou could think of.

But no matter what, Minato's Rasengan has already begun development, and it seems that it is almost successful. Now it probably just needs some details to be polished.

And these are what Shiro wanted to learn through the Rasengan, so he was destined to be unable to help Minato.

Then Shiro stopped paying attention to these things. What would happen if the Rasengan was developed? Before the magic workshop was completed and its attributes were not broken through, everything else had to be put aside and the practice of magic was the main focus.

Just like that, two weeks after Shiro's transaction with Orochimaru, Shiro and his team received another mission assigned by the Hokage.

But this time it was just Shiro's team, no other teams joined.

This time, Shiro and the others waited directly at the village entrance and did not go to the Hokage's office. After all, the Hokage had a lot of things to do, and Shiro and the others were not the protagonists, so the Hokage would not receive them for every mission.

Even if it was assigned by him.

Shiro and his crew are on an escort mission this time, and their destination is River Country. As for who they are escorting, Nakamura didn't say, but Shiro hopes it's a princess or something, and then they will have a tragic love story!

Unfortunately, Shiro knew with his ass that this was impossible. It was impossible to send a princess on a diplomatic mission abroad, and the Fire Nation did not need to maintain peace with anyone through marriage.

They have always been the ones who accept marriage alliances.

Shiro had no idea what they were talking about, but he guessed Nakamura didn't know either. After all, to put it bluntly, Shiro and his men were just high-level thugs.

Silang and his friends waited for a long time, but the other party still didn't come. Silang didn't want to just wait there.

Therefore, he asked Nakamura: "Captain, do you know who we are escorting this time?"

Upon hearing this, Nakamura saw that the other party had not arrived yet, so he answered Shiro and the others. After all, it was really boring to just wait like this.

"The target of this mission is the ministers around the daimyo. We have important matters to discuss in Kawanokuni, so there will be assassinations along the way. Our mission is very simple, just to eliminate those people."

"Minister." Shiro sighed in disappointment before continuing, "Captain, is there anything I should be aware of for the escort mission? I've never done this kind of mission before."

"Never done it before? That's fine. It's just like our usual journey, except the speed will be slower and you'll need to be more careful along the way. Just listen to my instructions when the time comes."

"I see. How come they, oh, are here."

As they were talking, the carriage driven by the other party slowly drove out and stopped in front of Shilang and the others.

At this time, a slightly feminine male voice came from the carriage: "You must be Captain Nakamura. I'm sorry to bother you this time. I'm sorry, but for some reasons, I can't show up. Please understand."

"That's alright, sir, can we set off now?" Nakamura could understand this kind of thing. After all, if his appearance was exposed, his danger would at least double! Therefore, he didn't care about this kind of thing.

"Thank you for your understanding. That's all."

Hearing this, Nakamura gave Shiro a look, and Shiro understood.

"The art of spiritual communication!"

"Gray Snake, please."

“Hiss~hiss~”

"Really? I understand. I will."

After hearing this, the gray snake quickly disappeared from Shilang and the others' sight.

"What did it say?"

Hearing Taiyi's question, Lu Ming and the others also looked at Shilang.

"Oh, nothing. There are just some scouting snakes in the Dragon Cave. They said they'll take them out for some exercise later. But the gray snakes will also be following them, so it won't affect our mission."

"Is that so? That's fine. I've used it for so many things so as long as it doesn't affect the mission, it's fine."

After that, they began their boring journey as usual. Because this was an escort mission, the speed of travel was based on the ministers, so the speed was slower.

Moreover, Shilang's reconnaissance network has not been fully deployed, so he cannot be careless, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if he fails at the village gate.

It’ll be on the headlines of the ninja world in minutes!

Therefore, they checked this section of road extremely carefully. One reason was to be cautious, and the other was to cooperate with Shilang to expand his reconnaissance network.
