Chapter 489: General's Path
A week after the trip to the underworld, Shiro was sitting at the laboratory table in the Ryūmai Workshop, looking at the analysis report on the Sharingan in his hand.
It has to be said that his decision to study separately from Orochimaru was the right one. Their ways of thinking were too different, and being together would only interfere with each other's progress.
Look, before, the two of them worked together and it took them almost half a month to solve a problem that they had a practical idea for. But now, after more than a month, the two of them compiled their data and found a controllable method to open the eyes with one magatama!
So sometimes 1+1 is really not greater than 1, or even less than 1.
Of course, Shisui's kaleidoscope also played a big role in achieving such great progress, after all, it provided an additional source of comparison data.
After looking at the data for a while, Shiro put down the information in his hand. He already had the direction of the first magatama. All he had to do next was to carry out the experiment step by step. Success was only a matter of time.
What we need to worry about now is the problem of the General Manager.
Thinking of this, Shiro frowned again. Since this mission, Souji finally realized the gap between himself and Shisui and the others.
Although I had this thought before, I didn't have a deep feeling because I had never really compared them. But this time, after the three of them gave their all, the result was very clear.
Compared to Shisui and Otsuki, whose ancestors are awesome, whose inheritance is awesome, and whose talents are awesome, Souji only has one talent that's barely awesome. He's really no match for the other three.
Especially now that Shisui has opened the Kaleidoscope, the gap is even bigger.
Although Souji didn't know how awesome the Mangekyo was, he could tell how awesome it was by looking at the undisguised envy in Shiro's eyes when he mentioned the Mangekyo.
Therefore, the current Zongsi is barely comparable to Ayue, and even this requires Ayue to be unprepared, otherwise ten of them would be a waste. What makes Zongsi most desperate is that Ayue seems to be less than 10 years old.
It would be fine if Souji didn't have any aspirations, but his strength is top-notch among his peers in Konoha!
But he is different, he has his own pursuits!
After witnessing the incredible swordsmanship displayed by Shiro, he was unwilling to stop there! However, gaining power is not so easy, and often, one is forced to give up something.
Therefore, facing the "roots"'s enticement, after three days of recuperation and reflection, he finally decided.
Come to Shiro for help!
If we were to ask who in this village could help him the most, it would undoubtedly be Shiro! Even ignoring the fact that he was Shiro's student, this was still the case.
Because Shiro's background is similar to his, both are from commoner families. Although Shiro has always told the outside world that he has found the family heirloom, almost everyone with a normal mind now knows that this is nonsense.
Now Shiro showed the "family secrets" that were more than just strengthening and projection. He also had bird puppets, barrier techniques, time-space barriers, etc. He used them all under the name of family secrets. I have never seen a family's fragments become several complete systems.
You know, any family with these things will not end up like this unless they are all idiots. There has not been a ninja born in the past three generations. This kind of thing, let alone the big ninja clan, even the small ninja clans don't dare to think about it.
Moreover, Souji also knows Shiro's past. His chakra amount is average (he hasn't cheated yet), his chakra control is at a medium level (he practiced in advance), and he masters ninjutsu quickly and skillfully (projected cheat).
This is Shiro in his early days, which is what Souji looks like now, except that his ninjutsu has been replaced with swordsmanship.
Because of this, he understands how hard it is for Shilang to achieve his current success! How amazing! He also believes that Shilang can help him to the greatest extent possible!
Although Shiro is unlikely to have the conditions to cultivate another version of himself, it is still no problem for Souji to get closer to Shisui and the others.
With this idea in mind, Souji came to find Shiro. He knew that what he did was not a good idea, after all, Shiro was only his team leader, not his master.
But as Shiro once taught him, when a person is humble enough, he is invincible!
Sometimes, as long as it is not something that harms the world, you can occasionally not have that face.
But this made Shiro distressed.
It's not that I don't want to teach. After all, Souji is my student. Who else can I teach if not him? Weren't Yamada and Nakamura just his team leaders back then? Didn't they still teach him a lot?
The main problem is that Shiro doesn't know how to teach.
If he wants to make Souji stronger, he has many ways to do it. He can teach him a few sword techniques, transplant a small amount of primary cells, teach him meditation to improve chakra control, and finally make him a better ninja sword. That's it!
Not to mention the bugs like the super shadow level, it is still okay for an elite jonin to have combat power that is just on par with the shadow.
But this is not what Souji wants. It is not so easy to catch up with Shisui and Azuki. One is the future Uchiha who has Susanoo in his single eye, and the other is Azuki who has a high-level magic eye.
I get a headache whenever I think of Silang. My family knows my family business. He has been able to get to where he is today from a commoner. He has worked hard, but it is mainly due to his luck.
But this kind of thing is not easy to tell others. Doesn’t Shirou Emiya have any face?
Therefore, for the sake of Souji's face, Shiro began to think, either not to teach, or to teach well, after all, Souji would call him teacher.
However, he really didn't have any good ideas at the moment. Swordsmanship at the Noble Phantasm level was not so easy to learn. As for ninjutsu, considering the amount of chakra Souji had, Shiro shook his head. This path was not suitable for him.
Souji's options were limited. Even if he had talent for Taijutsu, it was too late for him to switch to it now. That left him with only Kenjutsu.
Unfortunately, this is Shiro's shortcoming. He knows a lot of bug swordsmanship, and it is pure swordsmanship, but those are too advanced, let alone Souji.
Even if Shiro didn't have the aid of projection magic, he wouldn't be able to perform it. The reason is simple, because he lacks sufficient foundation!
As the saying goes, a towering building rises from the ground!
Without sufficient swordsmanship foundation, even the most subtle and magical swordsmanship will be like a mirage, out of reach.
Not everyone is a gatekeeper.
But Shiro just lacks this point. If you talk about spearmanship, he knows more, at least it is enough to lay the basics, but he is struggling with swordsmanship. There are spears in Bajiquan, but no swords, especially the Tang sword, the source of the samurai sword.
Suddenly, Shiro thought of something he mentioned when communicating with Orochimaru, about the extraordinary power of the ninja before!
Since Shiro had come into contact with similar shrine maidens, he did not have many doubts about this aspect. Therefore, although he did not think much of these eliminated things, they still passed through his mind and left some impressions.
At this moment, Shiro thought of the realm of the Sword Saint that Orochimaru had mentioned!
He had a deep impression of this because he had heard the warriors of the Iron Country mention it when he was traveling. However, this had become a legend there. Not to mention the new-school warriors, even many traditional warriors did not believe that this realm existed.
If Orochimaru had not confirmed the existence of this thing, Shiro would not have believed it. After all, even swordsmanship geniuses like Mifune and Hanzo had not achieved this thing.
Based on the legends of the Iron Country and Orochimaru's information, Shiro could basically judge the level of the Sword Saint. Not to mention the skills of the Noble Phantasm level, even the skills of the first-class Heroic Spirits themselves could not reach that level.
If converted into skill level, it can be roughly up to the middle and upper C level. Although it is still not possible to touch those sword techniques, at least it is qualified to formally practice them.
And this is just Shiro's judgment based on the intelligence, and the specific situation may be slightly different. Anyway, it is enough to lay the foundation for Souji. As the saying goes, the master can only lead you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself.
As for the selection of candidates, the worst that can happen is that we can work with Orochimaru to dig more graves. He has a wide network of contacts, whether they are alive or dead.
So, it’s good to have a wide network of contacts. When you encounter problems, there are always friends who can solve them. For example, in Souji’s current situation, it was all thanks to Kakashi, otherwise Shiro wouldn’t know what to do!
Thanks Kakashi!
