Chapter 229: Victory in the first battle!
Shiro's first target was a fat middle-aged ninja. The information from the exchange said that he was good at instant movement, but it did not specify what kind of instant movement he was.
Therefore, Shiro decided to kill him with William Tell's sure-hit "Arrow of Trust Release". Once you are within range, no matter how fast you move, you can't dodge it!
Of course, this does not include the space teleportation ability like Flying Thunder God.
However, this arrow is not invincible. It is only guaranteed to hit the target. The control range is too large, so hitting the arm is also certain to hit the target. However, even if he can escape this arrow, it cannot stop Shiro.
The first target was a guard hired by a certain family, so Shilang only needed to kill him. The exchange's spies had arrangements for such special targets.
Their death will be notified and the task will be settled immediately. After Shilang completes the task, he needs to go to a place to get a receipt, and then he can use the receipt to withdraw money.
They don't care who comes.
Of course, if you don't want to take it, you can just take the target's body with you, and you can also collect the bounty.
When Shiro arrived, the guy was hiding in the dark corner of a house, on guard.
Silang found him with the help of the gray snake, but Silang did not act rashly. Instead, he tightened the invisibility cloth on his body, squinted his eyes, and hid quietly.
This guy is a family guard, and in this situation, they seem to be doing some kind of deal, so Shilang wants to see if he can get some benefits.
Anyway, at this distance, that guy is dead, so Shilang can relax.
Moreover, if we succeed this time, it is very likely that we will get more than the reward. Anyway, we may not be able to find the guy in the well, so we might as well wait here for a while.
So Shiro waited and waited, but they didn't come out after waiting for a long time.
Facts have proved that Silang was still too naive. When Silang couldn't wait and let Gray Snake in, he found that they were still arguing. Silang didn't know what they were arguing about, but it seemed that the situation would not improve in a short time.
After thinking about it, Silang decided to just complete the mission. Going in and causing a big commotion was too risky and not worth it.
After making up his mind, Shiro projected William Tell's crossbow and aimed it at the target. The moment he released the treasure and pulled the trigger, a blue pattern climbed up Shiro's feet!
He took a step and rushed out!
The opponent had just blocked the crossbow arrow when Shi Lang who rushed over hit him and broke his throat!
Shiro was not surprised at all that the opponent could block this treasure. He had already done a test. Although it was a sure hit, it would still hit if you blocked it yourself.
Only when the crossbow arrow is blocked by others will the law of causality be triggered to correct the trajectory of the arrow. Most people will definitely not be able to block such a corrected trajectory after their previous relaxation.
This was also the reason why Shiro was so confident that he could kill the Cloud Ninja at that time, because the Raikage standing in front of him would definitely help him block the arrow, and he also trusted the Raikage.
But it was this trust that completely ruined him.
But the mission target now is different. This guy has no one to trust. He only trusts himself. Therefore, he has to be vigilant at all times to block the arrow.
However, the difference in strength between the two was too great. From the beginning to the end, it took less than ten seconds!
So, in the low-end game of ninja, assassination is still reliable!
After killing the target, Shiro directly cut off its head and put it in a bag. Shiro planned to send it to the branch of the exchange here and exchange it for a certificate to carry with him.
Shiro did this to save on Sealing Scrolls. He was trying to save as much as possible, as Sealing Scrolls were not cheap, and he couldn't afford it.
After exchanging the credentials, Silang rushed to the next target. If he was slower, he would have to spend money to buy intelligence again.
Shiro's next target is a ninja who is good at earth escape. This time, the ninjutsu he is good at is clearly written. He is proficient in earth escape and hardening techniques and has strong defense.
It is said that he can take on C-level ninjutsu without getting hurt!
In Shiro's opinion, this was either just bragging or it wasn't a hardening technique at all, but some kind of secret technique or bloodline.
Hardening techniques are not that powerful yet. Unless you study it to a certain level and add a huge amount of chakra, it is impossible to achieve this.
However, Shiro chose him as his target because of the fact that he was good at defensive ninjutsu as stated on his bounty list. After knowing his defense type, Shiro became even more confident!
This time, Shiro came out to take on the mission of the exchange, in addition to raising money, he also had a more important purpose, which was to master the use of various treasures.
Especially the liberation. The liberation of the Noble Phantasm is not just about shouting out the real name. The chakra in the body also needs to flow.
Therefore, this also requires practice, and this proficiency will directly affect the speed at which Shiro releases his Noble Phantasm.
If Shiro's Noble Phantasm is released quickly enough, it can be said that Ai is already dead!
There are many Noble Phantasms that can restrain Ai, but the key is that Shiro's release speed is very slow compared to Ai, and after experiencing enough battles, the ninja will develop abilities similar to the mind's eye.
This is what is commonly known as intuition. When subjected to a fatal attack, the body will react instinctively.
Shiro doesn't need to practice very quickly. He just needs to master some of the more practical Noble Phantasms. He only needs to understand the rest. After all, the projection will carry the user's experience.
The best training is actual combat. In combat, all problems will be exposed.
This is Shiro's real purpose, not just to make money.
If he really wanted to make money, Shilang could just wear a helmet to hide his infidelity and then go to the rich to sell detonating talismans!
It's definitely a huge profit! And your identity won't be exposed!
But in this way, Shiro's fighting skills will inevitably become rusty. Shiro is still a ninja, and the importance of fighting skills to Shiro is self-evident.
Therefore, for Shiro, this is the most reasonable choice.
As his thoughts raced, Shilang had already arrived at the town where his second target was located.
Silang stood on a high place and scanned the town with his clairvoyance. No one found him outside, so after thinking about it, Silang summoned a bunch of small snakes and sent them into the town to gather intelligence.
He himself was also slowly rushing towards the town, taking off his equipment, including the mask.
This outfit is too eye-catching. It can be used to show off, but now it will only alert the enemy.
Not long after Shilang entered the town, he stopped walking on the street and started walking in another direction.
At this time, Shilang's target was still eating in a hotel and was completely unaware of Shilang's arrival.
He is now worried about the next task. He usually takes tasks at the exchange, but the money they earn is basically used for enjoyment.
After all, even if they wanted to turn it into strength, there was no way to do so, because they couldn't buy ninjutsu at all. Therefore, they were not so keen on missions, and usually only took on missions when they were almost out of money.
