Chapter 16 Memorial and Transformation
The next day, Shiro got up early and changed into a black kimono. Shiro didn't have much of an issue with wearing a kimono. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He'd already used his name, his meal, and his words, so why would he care about a kimono? Besides, it didn't mean anything. It wasn't like he couldn't go back. It was just a trip.
Having said that, Shiro still felt uncomfortable wearing the kimono. However, today was a special day, and he obviously couldn't just go with the flow. Therefore, he had to wear it even if he felt uncomfortable, as a sign of respect for those ninjas who died in battle!
Yes, today is the day to commemorate the ninjas who died on the battlefield. In order to show respect for the sacrificed ninjas, almost all the ninjas have no missions and gathered in the village.
Moreover, Dai and his son also stopped training today, which was rare, and changed into black kimonos to go to the memorial.
There were many people walking towards the memorial along the way, but no one spoke, they just walked quietly.
When Shiro arrived at the memorial, many people had already gathered there, including ninjas and civilians. No one specifically notified them to be present, they just informed them of the time.
But everyone consciously put down what they were doing, and the ninjas also arranged their time. They did not do any missions during this period or did some short tasks. Therefore, there were many people present, but only the village leaders and the families of the victims stood in the open space in front of the memorial. Everyone else, including Shiro and others, were watching silently from the outermost edge.
After a while, the number of people gradually stopped increasing, and almost everyone in the village was present, but even with so many people, the place was still very quiet.
At this time, the third generation stood up and said, "Dear villagers, they are not dead. They still live in our hearts and are still protecting us. So, there is no need to be sad. We must let them see our happy side and not let them have any regrets!"
"We only live once. There's no need to force yourself to choose a path you don't like. It doesn't matter if you live or die as you please. However, no matter which path you choose, don't forget to protect the people you cherish. Let's not let their sacrifice be in vain. We must face the rest of our lives with strength!"
"I firmly believe that wherever leaves flutter, fire will burn. The shadow of the fire illuminates the village and makes new leaves sprout." (Sorry, due to the limitations of my writing style, the connection is not good, please use your imagination)
Shiro stood beside Yamada and looked at the third generation quietly. At this time, he listened to the Will of Fire, which was familiar to him in his previous life and was jokingly called the strongest illusion by netizens. In this situation, he had a different feeling. Maybe the starting point of the war was for profit, but when the war reached the later stage, it was more about ending the war and protecting his own homeland.
Because of this, Shilang now admires those heroes who once sacrificed their lives for that red country. Because Shilang can't do that. Even if he now has ten times more power than them, he is still not as good as them. This is the difference in belief. They are for the country, while Shilang is only for the people around him.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Shiro talked to Yamada and the others, then walked towards Kushina and the others. Shiro didn't say anything, but just stood there quietly, watching Tsunade and the others crying. Neither Shiro nor Minato tried to persuade Tsunade anymore.
Because, now no matter what language is used, it seems pale and powerless. People who have not experienced the loss of a loved one cannot understand that kind of pain. Shilang has not experienced it either, so he can only stand aside and watch.
Looking at the weeping Tsunade, Shiro knew that Princess Tsunade, one of the Three Ninjas, had passed away along with the sacrifices of Nawaki and Dan.
Perhaps only he who grew up to be a hero in an extremely unfortunate environment can revive Princess Tsunade.
After a while, Tsunade and the others stood up and prepared to leave. After all, the dead are gone, and one cannot dwell on the past. Tsunade had said she had to go back and prepare something. She hadn't told Shiro, Minato, or the others the details, but Shiro suspected it was the plan to assign medical ninjas to all the teams. However, Shiro remembered that the plan didn't seem to be approved. Shiro didn't say anything. It wasn't something he could interfere with now.
However, not everyone left. Orochimaru still stayed at the memorial stone.
Before leaving, Shiro glanced at Orochimaru. Shiro vaguely remembered that Orochimaru seemed to have accelerated his darkening from this moment.
For the next two days, Silang trained with Dai and the others at the training ground, preparing for the test of Longdi Cave. However, Silang was not too panicked. After all, he had carefully prepared a trump card to face Longtao Snake!
However, Orochimaru and Tsunade still had a lot of things to deal with these two days, so they had to wait a few days before arranging a test for Shiro. Therefore, Shiro came to the training ground to train with Dai and his son.
Shiro's current training is relatively simple. He just keeps shooting arrows, comparing the archery experience gained from projection, finding the shortcomings, and then making adjustments.
But this is just saying it's simple, the actual operation is a completely different matter, to use a more vivid metaphor.
This is like when we read the game guide. It seems very simple. Isn't it just 123 change, 123 change 123 add? I can do it too. Then when we operate it... Well, I won't tell you the result, you all know it.
Therefore, Shiro still needs to practice again and again to make it his own, but it's not that boring. Although Shiro can't improve with every arrow, he can still make a little progress with two or three arrows. This experience of feeling progress is very good, but it's a bit expensive.
So, what Mr. Ma said is right, only by spending money can you become stronger, and using salary to create happiness.
When the arrows are about 70% depleted, Shiro will stop practicing archery and start practicing shuriken instead. These still need to be mastered, and more skills are always better. In this process, Shiro also uses enhanced magic to coordinate training, so it is not a waste of time.
After finishing all these trainings, I practiced physical skills with Dai and the others, and the day was almost over.
Unlike Dai and the others, Silang started to wander around the streets after dinner instead of continuing his cultivation. After all, the twenty years of his life in his previous life had a great impact on him. He had been a salted fish for more than twenty years in his previous life. Although he had a dream after traveling through time, it was impossible for Silang to practice as hard as Dai and the others. It was impossible in this life.
The reason why Shilang can reach this level today is not only because he forces himself to practice every day, but also because of the increase in practice brought by the Heroic Spirit Card. In fact, Shilang's current situation is already good. He has gradually adapted to his current life. You know, when he first came to this world, even if he forced himself to practice every day, he could not persist for half a day.
Fortunately, after attending the Ninja School, the requirements were stricter, and I met Kushina, who forced me to practice, and things got better.
But this is normal. After all, Shilang was a otaku in his previous life, and a low-level otaku who was half-useless. It is impossible for him to work hard as soon as he comes here.
Fortunately, Kushina and the others forced him to do so, otherwise Shiro felt that he would have died on the battlefield. Of course, Dai and the others also contributed to this, but Shiro really didn't want to admit it.
Maybe some people think Shiro is stupid and can't wait until the war is over before going to ninja school?
Shiro wondered, too, but the problem was that he didn't know the year World War II ended. When Shiro watched Naruto in his previous life, he'd mostly skipped over flashbacks, learning about events before the plot began through observation. Who knew the year World War II ended? What if it took too long and he couldn't enroll? Wouldn't that mean he'd just be waiting for death? As a homebody, Shiro didn't know any effective training methods.
Therefore, Shirou was very grateful to them. All the coincidences came together to create the Shirou he is today. Although he didn't work very hard, it was enough. This was him. Otherwise, Shirou had another way to become stronger quickly. He could imitate Shirou Emiya, so that the effect of the Heroic Spirit Card would be maximized.
However, the one who survives in the end will only be Emiya Shirou!
There is a saying that goes, when you pretend to be a good person all your life, then you really become a good person.
This is because the Heroic Spirit Card has a side effect, it has a very shallow suggestive effect. When the auxiliary effect of the Heroic Spirit Card reaches its maximum, this suggestion will also appear. This is one of the reasons why Shiro did not use this method.
He thought to himself that he was just a homebody and didn't have the confidence to resist such a suggestion.
However, this is all in the past. Now Shi Lang has already started to like practicing. Of course, it is mainly because it is too boring. There is nothing to do, not even a single look.
