End of Chapter 18
Shiro woke up in the hospital, two days after the ordeal at Ryuchi Cave.
On that day, after Silang projected that Wan Fu would break the precept, the outcome was already determined, because the gap between Silang and Longtao Snake was not so big that they could not even touch each other. However, even so, Silang was not much better off. After sending Longtao Snake back to Longdi Cave, Silang could not hold on any longer.
In the end, he fainted. Before fainting, Shiro saw the Sandai tell Kushina that he was fine and then turned into smoke and disappeared.
"So it was just a shadow clone that came that day? But that's right, my identity is not enough. I guess it's more because of my identity as a contractor of Ryuchi Cave. But it's really miserable!" Thinking of this, Shiro smiled bitterly.
Indeed, Shiro was seriously injured this time. His muscles were severely strained, and even some of his bones were cracked. Worse still, his magic circuits were overloaded, making it impossible to use magic for a short period of time. He even needed to expend system energy to repair the damage.
This also shows that Eight Gates of Ninjutsu Kai still has a lot of room for improvement. Of course, having it is one thing, but whether it can be fully developed is another matter. Just like Shiro's teacher in his previous life said about him, your English still has great potential.
Yes, he has great potential. The full score is 150, and he only scored 30 (including listening). How can he not have great potential?
However, although the price is high, it is indeed worth it! A good summoning beast can make Shiro's growth much smoother. However, because Shiro fainted from exhaustion after passing the assessment, the scroll is not in Shiro's hands. Even if he had it, he would not be able to use it. Shiro now feels pain when mobilizing chakra.
Therefore, Shiro was not in a hurry. He couldn't use it anyway, and Orochimaru would not lie to Shiro for that little bit of knowledge.
As for the projection magic that was exposed this time, Shiro was not worried about attracting the covetousness of the Third Hokage and Danzo. Shiro told others that both the strengthening magic and the projection magic were family secrets. At present, except for Orochimaru who discovered the essence of the magic through in-depth research due to coincidence, other ninjas did not conduct in-depth research due to the family secrets.
After all, Konoha has a large number of esoteric families, and this thing is a forbidden area. Even Danzo can only allow the branches of those esoteric families to join the Root.
Shiro is the only ninja in his family. Even if the third generation and Danzo have nothing to do and set their eyes on Shiro's magic, they cannot touch him. They can only start from his descendants' side branches.
After all, other esoteric families will not just sit there and watch. If he can deal with you today, he can deal with me tomorrow. Therefore, for this reason, no matter what conflicts these families have in normal times, once the third generation has this idea in mind, these families will unite!
Moreover, unlike the bloodline limits, in Konoha Village, the esoteric family can be said to cover the middle and high-level levels of Konoha, and its influence can be said to be very great.
There are relatively few bloodline limits in Konoha. Although they are powerful, they are not very united. Later, the Uchiha clan was even exterminated!
Shiro must be crazy to say that he has a bloodline limit. Moreover, Shiro has not forgotten that there are many black technologies in the ninja world, and changing hands or eyes is easy.
Especially changing the eyes, it is easier than changing a light bulb, just plug and unplug!
Therefore, Shiro classified his strengthening magic and projection magic as esoteric arts. Anyway, as long as the projection magic was not really strong enough to be extraordinary, the Third Hokage and Danzo would never go against Shiro despite the pressure from the major families.
And when the projection magic becomes strong enough, well, Shiro won't be afraid anymore, just like everyone knows that Madara's Mangekyō is very powerful, but does anyone dare to steal it?
Moreover, there are many ninjutsu that can forcibly cancel summoning. Koishiro knows of a contract seal, so the third generation will not be too surprised that Wanfu will break the seal.
Therefore, Shiro's main task at present is to heal his injuries and then go to meet new teammates. After this performance in front of the third generation, although he ended up in a bit of a mess, he should be able to be assigned to better teammates, probably.
"Squeak~"
Just as Shirou's thoughts were still wandering, Kushina and Minato pushed open the door and walked in.
"Shiro, are you awake? Are you okay? Don't take risks like this next time. I'm worried about you!"
As soon as Kushina entered the room and saw Shiro woke up, she rushed up and hugged Shiro and said with concern.
To be honest, Shiro was very moved by Kushina's actions. Shiro could see that Kushina really treated Shiro as her younger brother.
Because Shiro approached Kushina with a purpose at first, and after Kushina knew about it, instead of blaming him, she helped him a lot and treated him as her own brother.
Of course, this is largely because Shiro is still a child. Otherwise, Kushina is not a naive person. If Shiro really has a problem, he will be killed by the Anbu after approaching Kushina.
This is not an exaggeration. After the incident where the Cloud Ninja snatched Kushina away, Konoha's protection of Kushina has been greatly improved.
Therefore, if Shiro really had a problem, he would most likely not have been able to contact Kushina. Therefore, based on his own judgment, Kushina just beat Shiro up.
In their subsequent interactions, the lonely Kushina treated Shiro, who was several years younger than her, as her younger brother. Therefore, although she knew in advance the side effects of the Eight Gates Ninjutsu Kai (Kushina didn't know this name), she was still very sad when she saw Shiro injured.
"Okay, okay, I get it, big sister, let go!" Shiro saw that Kushina showed no sign of letting go, so he signaled Minato with his eyes and persuaded Kushina.
"Alright, Kushina, let go. Shiro's injuries haven't healed yet."
"Hmph! I know!" Kushina first let go of Shiro, then turned her head away proudly and said.
Shiro and Minato looked at each other helplessly. Suddenly, Shiro felt that Minato was also having a hard time. If Minato was not a permanent sister, he might really be unable to do anything with Kushina.
"Shiro, are you okay? I heard from Kushina that the side effects of that technique are very strong. The doctor said that you have a large area of muscle strain and are even about to break your bones. Fortunately, you were sent to the hospital in time. Why are you so reckless! If you missed the summoning beast this time, you can find another one. What if your body has hidden dangers?"
"And you, Kushina, it's ok that Shirou is ignorant, but you also follow in his footsteps!"
"Uh, Minato-sama, I was the one who pestered Big Sister to help me. It had nothing to do with her. By the way, Minato-sama, do you know who my new teammate is?"
Seeing that Minato wanted to continue speaking, Shiro quickly interrupted him and said, "You may feel good about teaching Kushina a lesson now, but the one she'll take her anger out on will be me afterwards."
"I'm not sure yet. We're still assigning you tasks. Also, you probably won't be able to go on a mission in the short term. The results will probably be out a little later. But don't worry, you performed well this time. Hokage-sama should be able to arrange things for you."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Senior Orochimaru said that when you get better, you should go to him. He didn't give you the scroll because you were unconscious before. You should go get it later."
"Got it, Minato-sama."
Afterwards, Minato and the others chatted with Shiro about some training matters and left, letting Shiro have a good rest.
After Minato and the others left, Shiro called out the system, checked the energy reserves, and then let the system continue to repair the magic circuit.
Before the test began, Shiro gave the system an order to repair the magic circuit as soon as the competition was over, but it was only a preliminary recovery, also to avoid the hospital from discovering anything wrong. After all, the magic circuit was disguised by the system, so in the eyes of others it was just chakra veins, but the nature was different.
I'm sorry, I may not be able to do what I promised you, because I looked at it these two days and the writing is too ugly. So I want to improve the quality first. If you have any opinions, you can say them in the comments of this chapter. I will read it every day. Finally, thank you all for your support.
