Konoha Projection Magic

"Tch! You think I want to come, just take turns taking care of you, wait, I'll go tell them, they are still worried."

"No, I'll go and speak for myself. Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just excessive chakra consumption. It's not the first time."

"Then be careful." Seeing Shiro say this, Taichi had no choice but to listen to him. Having been teammates for such a long time, he also understood Shiro's stubborn temper.

"Don't worry." After saying that, Shiro got up from the bed and asked at the same time: "How was the mission? Has the demon been sealed?"

"Well, after you fell asleep, the miko-sama has sealed the monster. Don't worry, the mission has been successfully completed."

"That's it. Then, how about Miko-sama?"

"Don't worry, she's fine too. Why do you care so much about her?"

"It's nothing. I'm just concerned about some things. It's okay."

Seeing that Shiro didn't want to talk, Taichi didn't ask any more questions, but judging from the slightly raised corners of Shiro's mouth, this should be a good thing.

After walking a few steps, Shiro realized that he had forgotten to ask a more important question and quickly stopped what he was doing.

"Taiichi, how many days have I been sleeping? Where are the other people in the Ninja Village? Have they left?"

"Ha, I thought you wouldn't ask. Don't worry, it's only been a day. The other ninja villages are here too. The miko-sama said that we'll thank you together after you recover from your injuries."

"At the ceremony." Finally, Taiyi emphasized.

"Grand ceremony? What is it for?"

"It is said that it is their tradition. Every time they seal the monsters, they will hold this ceremony. Therefore, this time they are also planning to formally thank us at the ceremony."

"Shiro, I have to say that we owe them a big favor this time."

"Ah, I owe a lot."

The reason why Shiro and the others are said to owe a big favor is mainly because of Shiro's performance this time.

In this mission, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as Shiro continues to grow up smoothly, his future achievements will definitely be high, and now is the best opportunity to attack and kill Shiro.

Therefore, the shrine maiden specially prepared this ceremony to give Shiro and the others a chance to send a message and time for reinforcements to arrive.

As for why it was specially held...

Although they had held a grand ceremony before after sealing the sprites, it was actually not held to celebrate the sealing of the sprites. After all, the sealing of the sprites was achieved by sacrificing the life of the miko. This is nothing to be happy about.

Their grand ceremony was actually held to celebrate the succession of the new shrine maiden, the new leader of the country.

But now, the current miko is not dead yet, and her daughter is not enough to be the new king, so this is really specially held for Shiro and the others.

Although they didn't know if there would be any difficulties in holding this grand ceremony, even if there were no difficulties, this intention was always there and Shiro and the others couldn't ignore it.

After a while, Shiro and the others came to the hall. Basically everyone was there, but they were all resting and not training. After all, they had just finished the battle and needed to relax properly.

"Shiro, why don't you take a rest?"

"It's okay, Captain, I'm fine, I just over-exhausted my chakra. It's not the first time."

"Just be sensible. This secret technique won't have any serious side effects, right?"

"No, it's just that the chakra meridians are damaged and it will take some time to recover."

"As long as everything is fine, I won't miss those few tasks."

"Here, brother Shiro." Xiaoguang handed Shiro a cup of tea and asked worriedly, "Brother Shiro, are you really okay? That kind of high-intensity attack, and you used it twice."

"Haha, don't worry, it's okay, it's just a bit overloaded. Do you still remember what the most important ability of a ninja is that I taught you?"

"Well, remember, follow your heart, follow your heart, but does this have anything to do with my problem?"

"Well, I have a good memory, but I forgot to explain to you last time the other meaning of this sentence."

"The other one, what else does it mean?"

"Of course."

Hearing this, everyone looked over curiously, and they also wanted to know what the other meaning was.

"Ahem, remember, this is my secret! Become stronger silently and survive until the end!"

"..., what else?" Xiaoguang waited for a moment and asked curiously when he didn't hear the follow-up.

"No, this is the essence!"

"..."

"Hey, hey, hey, what's your expression! Let me tell you, I can't achieve what I have now, thanks to these words!" Seeing Xiaoguang's look of disgust, Shiro couldn't help but said angrily.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Shiro's furious look, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Yesterday's serious Shiro left a very deep impression on them.

But now facing a different Shiro, they felt even closer.

Seeing this scene, although Shiro still looked angry on the surface, he was also very happy in his heart. Of course, he couldn't feel it now.

Shiro didn't pretend to be stupid just to make them happy, but he did it naturally. This was a habit that Shiro had in his previous life, and it was deeply engraved in his bones.

Sometimes even he can't find it himself, of course, not always, sometimes he is really stupid...

After a period of laughter, Nakamura gestured for them to quiet down.

After they calmed down completely, Nakamura said: "Shiro, you may have to pretend to be sick for a day or two. Their ceremony has been prepared in advance. As soon as you recover, the ceremony can start immediately."

"So, you will have to sleep for a while longer. We have informed the village of the situation, and the village replied saying that Lord Sakumo is already on his way."

"The teacher is coming?"

"Well, so you have to recuperate for a while and wait for Sakumo-sama's arrival."

"Well, I understand, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"No, you just need to have a good rest and don't show up. But to be cautious, you guys should not go out during this period, Taiyi, so as not to expose your mistakes."

"We are in the Kingdom of Ghosts, and we are still on a mission. Do they dare to take action?" Xiaoguang asked with a frown.

"Of course not on the surface, but other villages have departments similar to ANBU, and they also have a lot of 'rebellious ninjas'."

Xiaoguang and the others just have little experience and are not really stupid. Therefore, after listening to it, they knew what the so-called "rebellious nin" was without Nakamura's explanation.

"Well, that's all. Let's take a rest."

"yes."

At this time, people from other villages were also discussing this matter, but they did not know that Shuomao was on the way, otherwise, they would not be so calm.11
