Chapter 304 The Exposed Partner
"Knock, knock, knock."
With a "swish," the door of Lu Ming's house opened, and at the same time, a woman's voice came from inside.
"Hello, who are you?"
"Hello, Auntie, I'm Emiya Shirou, I'm here to see Lu Ming."
"Shiro? What happened to you? Your hair?"
"Oh, about this. I practiced some secret techniques. It's nothing serious. By the way, is Lu Ming home?"
"Oh, he's here. Come in first."
After saying that, Lu Ming's mother leaned aside to make way for Silang to come out.
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Lu Ming, come out for a moment, Shi Lang is here to see you."
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
"Hey kid, Silang, you sit here first and wait for him. I have something to do here, so I can't accompany you." Seeing this, Lu Ming's mother said to Silang with an apologetic look.
"It's okay, Auntie. Go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. Lu Ming and I are not ordinary people."
Afterwards, Shiro sat down in the living room. Lu Ming's house was decorated in standard Japanese style. There were no chairs, so everyone sat directly on the floor. Fortunately, Shiro often used this pretentious posture when meditating, so it was not too uncomfortable.
Lu Ming didn't let Shilang wait too long. He came out shortly after he sat down.
He also knew Shiro's personality, so as soon as he sat down, he got straight to the point.
"I thought you would come earlier, but you are so late."
"Isn't this something that needs to be dealt with? Now that you know, what do you think?"
"That's fine with me. I'm just a branch of the Nara clan and can't represent the entire Nara clan. I can still decide on this matter myself. But, am I strong enough?"
"Haha, ninja is not a game of direct confrontation. The wise are the most important in a team."
This is indeed the case. As Lu Ming said, he is just a branch and cannot represent the Nara clan, so he is free to a certain extent.
However, his fighting ability is indeed a problem. Although he was promoted to Chunin very early, he has been stuck here for many years.
This was certainly related to his transition to a civilian position, but more importantly, it was a matter of strength. From a Chunin to a Jonin, that was a huge transformation, and it wasn't easy to accomplish.
Therefore, Lu Ming's current strength is still at the level of Chunin, so it is inevitable to have such concerns.
However, as Shiro said, the wise man plays a very important role in a team, so his fighting ability is actually not that important.
This is also the reason why Shilang came to find Lu Ming even though he knew that Lu Ming's strength would not change much.
An outstanding wise man can play a role far beyond that of a senior ninja.
However, although Shiro's words made sense, Lu Ming did not agree with them. To be more precise, he had a strong opinion of Shiro who said them.
"Don't you think you have the right to say that when a ninja is not a direct opponent?"
"Ahem, I'm an archer, so the situation is different."
"I've always felt that we have different definitions of certain things. Now it seems that I'm convinced that you have the problem!"
"Tsk, that hurts my feelings."
In response to this, Lu Ming gave Silang a disdainful sneer.
"Tsk, who has feelings for you? I already have a girlfriend."
“.”
Shiro looked at Lu Ming with squinting eyes, lowered his head silently, and began to rummage in the ninja tool bag.
Seeing this, Lu Ming asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Looking for something."
"What is it? A random gift for me? Didn't you say you wanted to quit this habit and save money?"
Silang did not answer Lu Ming, but continued to search silently. After a while, Silang raised his head and looked at Lu Ming.
"Found this."
Lu Ming looked at the red liquid in Shi Lang's hand and asked, "What is this?"
"Nothing much, just an ignition agent I developed when I was bored."
"What the hell is that! Shiro, are you crazy?"
Before Lu Ming could finish his words, he saw Silang tilt it over and prepare to pour it out!
At this time, he didn't bother to ask Shilang the reason. After shouting loudly, he formed seals with his hands at an extremely fast speed!
"Ninjutsu: Shadow Sealing Technique!"
In an instant, the shadow under Lu Ming shot out, and in the blink of an eye, it tightly tied the test tube in Shilang's hand and sealed it instantly.
"Huh, what the hell are you doing!"
"Alright, alright, this is just an ordinary reagent. It only has an empty chakra reaction. I'm just using it to test your reaction speed. If it's too slow, I won't let you join us."
As he spoke, Shiro exerted force with his right hand holding the test tube, instantly breaking free from Lu Ming's seal and putting it back into the ninja tool bag.
Seeing this, Lu Ming's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Shi Lang deeply: "Next time, you can just say it directly and don't play this kind of heartbeat game."
"Haha, but this is more realistic. Otherwise, if you die, I won't be able to explain to my girlfriend and my uncle and aunt."
"How could I be so fragile and naive? I know the situation in the ninja world very well, so don't worry. I haven't slacked off in my training over the years. Although I'm not as good as you and Taichi, don't underestimate me."
Shi Lang looked at Lu Ming quietly, and suddenly smiled:
"Ha, I see. By the way, that sealing technique was beautifully executed. That kind of speed and precision, there are only a few people I know who can do that."
"Tsk, are we done with this?"
"What's wrong?"
"Now that you're done, let's go. I still need to eat." After saying that, she started pushing Shilang towards the door.
"Damn it, so heartless!"
"Yes! Let's go!"
While the two were arguing, Lu Ming's mother finished her business and came out, "Lu Ming, Shi Lang finally came here once, why are you like this?"
"Shiro, he's got something going on, right?"
At this time, Silang frowned, glanced at the guilty Lu Ming, and made a gesture to him secretly. Seeing Lu Ming nodded slightly with heartache, he
"Auntie, I'm sorry. I really have something else to do today and can't stay. I'm very sorry to have let you down."
"Is that so? Then go and do your work first and come back later."
As she said this, she looked at Lu Ming suspiciously, but since Silang had already said so, she had no choice but to let them go.
"Then Lu Ming, I'm leaving first, don't forget me."
"Tsk, don't worry, it won't happen."
After getting the promise, Shilang went to find Ayue and the others with a happy mood.
"What did Shiro say to you?"
"Nothing, just reminding me to report to that department in a couple of days."
"Is that so? Then you can handle it yourself. Also, go and ask the little girl in your room to come out. I'll make her something delicious."
"Ah? Mom, what did you say? What girl? How come I don't know?"
"Your father and I met when we were working in the perception class." After saying this, she went to prepare the meal without looking back.
Lu Ming was left bewildered: "Perception class? Holy shit. Why didn't Dad tell me? I'm losing out!"
