Chapter 9 Exposed
"Protecting? This is not easy at all. It's a great ideal." At this time, a white-haired young man walked in and said.
"Duan, why did you come just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Sorry Tsunade, I was delayed a bit on the way."
Dan?! How could this happen?! Wasn't he dead? Shiro was surprised by Kato Dan's appearance, but after thinking about it, it made sense. After all, the original story said he died in the war, and the war wasn't completely over yet. It was just that Konoha had already laid the foundation for victory. Therefore, Genin like Shiro who graduated early due to the war could leave the battlefield early. After all, their role on the battlefield was really not that important.
Besides, Jiraiya was still in the village, so Shiro estimated that the war would continue for a while. After all, Shiro believed that Jiraiya would not abandon the disadvantaged village and go to teach his apprentices.
Therefore, Shiro was only surprised for a moment before he reacted, "Sister Tsunade, what is this?"
"He is Tsunade's sister's lover, Kato Dan." Kushina explained on the side.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Emiya Shirou. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare a gift for you. I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay. I didn't prepare a gift for you either. So, we're even, right, Shiro?"
"Yes, we are even." Shiro said with a smile.
At this moment, Kushina yelled, "Wait, not yet!"
"Big Sister? What haven't you got yet?"
"It's not even yet. Shiro gave you gifts, and you won't give anything in return, Master Jiraiya?" Kushina shouted with her hands on her hips.
Shiro was completely bewildered. After all, as a mentally sound adult, this kind of thing was too shameful. Kushina was familiar with them, so it was nothing, but he had just met her and they were not related. It was a bit unreasonable. He immediately said to Kushina, "Big sister, please sit down. I didn't mean that."
Kushina naturally did not want to embarrass Shiro, she just wanted to help Shiro. After all, most of the people here were her relatives, and Jiraiya and the others naturally knew what her purpose was. This was why Minato did not stop her. After all, Shiro was just a civilian. Although he recently recovered his family's secret technique, it was incomplete after all (Shiro's external statement).
The original plan was to have Shiro meet Jiraiya and the others to see his talent. If he had good talent, he would be accepted as a disciple or find a master for him (mainly the latter). Unfortunately, Shiro's talent was only shown in ninjutsu, so this was the only way.
"Kushina is right. As elders, we can't bully the younger ones, right, Tsunade, Orochimaru?"
"The idiot is right."
"Shirou-kun, I'm very optimistic about you." In fact, there were some things Orochimaru didn't say.
When he was looking up information, he found that the Emiya family had some connection with the Six Paths Sage, and that kind of ninjutsu was very close to the bloodline limit. However, as far as he knew, the real Emiya clan had been exterminated for some reason long ago. These things on the surface were just a deception. In fact, these people were unable to practice ninjutsu at all. In other words, what Shiro Emiya learned was not that ninjutsu!
Moreover, Orochimaru restored part of the ninjutsu based on the information he collected. After comparing, Orochimaru found that these were two completely different ninjutsu! In fact, they were two different systems!
At this time, Orochimaru has not changed his ideal, or has not changed it completely. At this time, Orochimaru's ideal is still to master all the ninjutsu in the world, so you can imagine how tempted Shiro is to him.
Fortunately, Orochimaru had not yet turned evil at this time, and would not attack Shiro directly, otherwise the protagonist of this book would have to be changed. Orochimaru originally planned to consider taking Shiro as his apprentice if his talent was still acceptable. Unfortunately, Shiro did not meet his minimum standards.
Meanwhile, Shiro hadn't realized what Orochimaru was thinking. He was busy trying to persuade Kushina. He knew Kushina was doing this for his own good, but Shiro didn't need any of that. He just needed to continue his training as planned. Unfortunately, he couldn't tell Kushina about this. Therefore, his persuasion was doomed to be fruitless.
"Okay, Shiro, since you are Kushina's friend, don't be so polite. It's not an important thing, so just accept it. This is my annotation of the Three Body Technique. Take a look at it when you have time. I hope it will be helpful to you." Jiraiya interrupted Shiro and said.
Tsunade looked at Shiro who was trying his best to stop Kushina. She could tell that Shiro really wanted to stop Kushina and was not approaching Kushina for personal gain. So she said with relief, "Shiro, Kushina didn't misjudge you. This is a gift for you." As she spoke, she handed over a scroll. "I hope you like it."
Tsunade actually prepared two copies, the other one was very ordinary. If Shiro approached her only for the sake of profit, then she would send the ordinary one and would find a way to cut off their contact.
"Well, thank you, Sister Tsunade." Shiro put the scroll away and did not open it on the spot. After all, that was a very impolite behavior. Seeing this, Jiraiya and others admired him even more. After all, at his age, few people could be like him.
"Orochimaru, it's your turn. You don't want to take advantage of a child, do you?" Jiraiya said with a smile.
Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya, ignored him, and said to Shiro with a smile: "Shiro-kun, how about we try another way?"
"What method?" Shiro said with a frown. After all, he was still quite afraid of Orochimaru. After all, this was a boss who survived until the end.
"Haha, don't be nervous, Shiro-kun. I just want to exchange something with you. I'll exchange a test opportunity from the Ryuchi Cave and one of my ninjutsu with you. How about that?"
In fact, the only thing Orochimaru really paid was that ninjutsu. The summoning contract was brought by the White Snake to test Shiro, and had nothing to do with him, so he added a ninjutsu.
“!!!”
Everyone present looked at Orochimaru in surprise. After all, as long as they passed the test of Ryuchi Cave, they could sign the summoning contract of Ryuchi Cave!
Shiro frowned even more tightly. He didn't understand Orochimaru's attitude towards him. Logically speaking, his most outstanding achievement in the past two years was the development of enhanced ninjutsu, but that was based on a fictitious secret technique. Moreover, his subsequent performance also proved that he did not have the corresponding talent.
Logically, he shouldn't be paying so much attention to him, but now is not the time to think about these things, so Shiro asked: "I wonder what Orochimaru-senpai wants to exchange with me?"
"I want to know why you can use enhanced ninjutsu so powerfully?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.
"Orochimaru! You're going too far!"
While Shiro was still in shock, Tsunade roared angrily. It was not surprising to see Tsunade's attitude. After all, Shiro's move could be considered a family secret technique in a strict sense, and asking for the other party's family secret technique was strictly prohibited. After all, this could easily cause dissatisfaction among the various ninja clans.
"Okay, Tsunade, sit down first and see what Orochimaru says. I believe Orochimaru will know his limits."
Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya and said to Shiro, "How are you thinking about it, Shiro-kun?"
Shiro originally wanted to respond to Orochimaru with the same excuse as before, but he gave up immediately. After all, that was Orochimaru. His words meant that he had understood the essence of enhanced magic. Of course, enhanced magic was not the essence of ninjutsu. To be honest, if it was the third generation, Shiro would definitely use the family secret technique to shut the third generation's mouth, but he was Orochimaru!
Shiro was 70% certain that Orochimaru had already figured out that Enhancement Magic wasn't a secret Emiya family technique! It wasn't because of anything else, it was because he was Orochimaru! The only boss to survive from the early stages to the finale! Besides, Shiro didn't think Orochimaru would consider Enhancement Magic valuable. After all, in the Type-Moon world, Enhancement Magic wasn't considered advanced magic.
Therefore, Shiro decided to agree to exchange with Orochimaru. After all, Orochimaru has not turned evil yet. Instead of being remembered by Orochimaru, it is better to do him a favor. After all, strengthening magic is nothing to Shiro, and this thing is knowledge, not bloodline, so it is not that dangerous.
What he was afraid of was that his identity as a time traveler would be discovered. At that time, Shilang would not be naive enough to think that the third generation and others would use gentle means to obtain information.
"I agree, Orochimaru-senpai." Shirou saw Tsunade trying to stop him and immediately interrupted her, "Sister Tsunade, don't worry, it's okay. This isn't a family secret technique. It's okay to tell you. I was just thinking about other things."
"Since you have made up your mind, there is nothing we can do. Let's go, Tsunade. This kid is not as naive as he looks. He has his own plans. Let's go out and leave the space to them." After saying that, Jiraiya took them out.
"I'm glad you agree, Shiro-kun."
"Before we exchange, could you please tell me the reason, Orochimaru-senpai?"
"Of course, this is not something that cannot be discussed. First of all, your ninjutsu, well, let's just call it ninjutsu for now."
As expected! Shilang's pupils shrank, confirming his previous guess.
"I discovered that this ninjutsu is fundamentally different from most other ninjutsu. Of course, this doesn't prove anything, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. It wasn't until I returned that I stumbled upon information about the Emiya clan in ancient books, and it was related to the legendary Six Paths Sage."
"This piqued my interest, so I began to search for information and reconstructed some of the Emiya clan's ninjutsu. I don't need to tell you what's next, Shirou-kun."
Silang was stunned at first, then he smiled bitterly. Silang had been trying his best to cover it up. Although it was not perfect, because it was called a family secret technique, he was not afraid of the third generation and others' in-depth investigation.
Unfortunately, a ruthless person like Orochimaru suddenly appeared and restored the lost ninjutsu! I can only say,
"As expected of you, Orochimaru-senpai!"
To this, Orochimaru simply smiled, "By the way, I've made some modifications to that Nintaijutsu. I can give it to Shirou-kun as part of the deal."
"In that case, I will give you another ninjutsu. I only hope you can keep this secret for me."
"No problem, I'm only interested in knowledge." Orochimaru agreed without any hesitation, narrowing his eyes.
