Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

In a gloomy forest, murderous intent lurked in the biting cold wind. Several dark shadows passed by quickly, as if they were avoiding some ferocious beast...

Suddenly they stopped

"Hey! Do you feel that we have been to this place several times..."

"..."

"..."

"Damn it!"

There was a sound of "whoosh" in the distance. Several people were facing a great enemy. The leader shouted: "Quick! Quickly open the barrier!"

Then a white magic circle appeared under their feet, and a transparent halo covered them.

"ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"

After a burst of metal clashing sounds, dozens of four-petal square-edged darts appeared on the ground, having been deflected by the barrier...

Seeing this, several people were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next scene made them turn pale.

"Shuriken"

A few more darts flew over, but the difference was that these darts suddenly began to increase. One became two, two became four, four became eight, and in the blink of an eye they became a densely packed area.

"The Art of Shadow Clone"

Hundreds and thousands of shurikens hit the barrier, instantly creating cracks. Finally, the barrier could not bear the weight and shattered with a loud bang. The people inside who were unable to dodge were stung like a hornet's nest.

A few minutes later, a man wearing a purple ghost mask emerged from the darkness, walked up to the corpse and rummaged through it, finally pulling out a few white magic crystals and a pink gem.

"Stealing other people's magic information is a taboo in the magic world...so let me keep it for you!"

As he spoke, he formed a few seals with his hands, and a fierce flame spurted out from the masked man's mouth, instantly burning everything around him.

"According to the time, the Fifth Holy Grail War should be about to begin, and it's about time to return to Fuyuki City..."

That's right, the man in front of him is Shinji Matou ten years later. In the past ten years, he has never stopped studying magic and ninjutsu, and what he just used is not just simple ninjutsu, but a combination of ninjutsu and magic! Because magic power is different from chakra that spreads throughout the body, magic power will flow regularly along the blood vessels and meridians in the body, and is more refined than chakra.

Therefore, a powerful magician is full of treasures, and even his body fluids contain a large amount of magic power.

Shinji follows this rule, using hand seals instead of spells and magic circuits as a medium, and releasing them in the form of techniques.

This requires fewer seals and the release speed is faster than ordinary ninjutsu and magic, but because there is no magic circle, it means that he cannot use the magic power in the environment to help him set up formation magic such as the magic workshop.

According to common sense, if Shinji fights a war of attrition with the enemy, he will most likely suffer a loss. But who could have made him discover that he actually has the immortal body of the Senju clan!

Take the battle just now for example, he consumed magic power faster than it recovered. Even after the magic power was released to cover his body, his recovery ability was comparable to that of the Holy Sword Avalon.

Therefore, as of now, if we do not take into account the advantages of the modified ninjutsu and the information gap, his current strength is infinitely close to the level of Kage, but the only difference is that he lacks a trump card that can rival the Noble Phantasm.

Although he has also studied Wood Release, except for the grafting technique, other Wood Release ninjutsu are not very expensive in comparison. It is not because the power is too weak, but because it consumes a lot of magic power. However, this magic power can be used to release other techniques with higher returns. If the magic power is used less, then he can only do landscaping and building houses like Yamato...

Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, Shinji's figure flashed away, and soon several girls in pure white appeared where Shinji had just stood.

"There are traces of fighting here. Is there an internal conflict?"

"The trace ends here. It seems... we have lost them."

Shinji quickly shuttled between the tree branches and finally landed in a relatively open area. He made two seals with one hand.

"Earth escape? Stealth"

Then, the body sank into the ground and went down to an underground research room with no entrance.

He walked to a table filled with various potions and test tubes, took off the mask on his face and put it aside. His purple semi-long hair covered his forehead, and his permed hair curled up to cover the corners of his eyes. His face was square in outline, with a high nose, black pupils, and delicate and cold eyebrows. Shinji, who had grown up completely, looked more like a gloomy handsome guy from the Uchiha clan, except for his hair color.

In addition to his good looks, his mind is also a perfect inheritance of the intelligence of the two races. The large pile of equipment in front of him is used to study the Einzbern family's artificial human technology, and his current location is near the Einzbern main home - the snowy mountains in Germany.

Those people just now were the ones who accepted the bounty to steal the Einzbern family's information. Of course, don't ask how Shinji knew about it. The answer is that he was the one who issued the bounty. If he hadn't been there to cover them, these noobs would have been killed by the Einzbern family's combat maids.

That pink gem contains some of the technology of artificial humans. Although it is only a small part, it can be of great use at a critical moment.

This was also his last job here. He took the research data he had collected during this period, destroyed this temporary laboratory, used earth escape to return to the surface, and then rushed to Fuyuki City without stopping.

……

Fuyuki City

Sixteen-year-old Sakura is no longer young. Her long purple hair and soft voice make her lovable. She has also become much more lively. Occasionally, she goes shopping with Yumiko and other close friends.

As for Yumiko, the little girl has grown a lot taller. She ties her hair into a high ponytail every day and wears sexy belly-exposing clothes when she goes out for a stroll, looking like a little gangster.

As for Shirou Emiya, he was assigned to Class 1 this year and is one year older than Sakura. Although the two have some interactions, they are only senior and junior. After all, Shinji has no plans to leave Sakura to Shirou's care.

Sakura and Rin have met several times in these ten years, but later there seemed to be some conflicts and their relationship became awkward. Shinji had no interest in taking care of their relationship. His mission was only to save their lives.

After getting off the plane, he pulled the baseball cap on his head, and the black windbreaker on his body covered most of his physical features. After all, his actions have always been a secret, and he didn't even reveal anything to Sakura. In the eyes of outsiders, he has always been just an uneducated, bad-tempered, and occasionally skipped classes. Thanks to this personality, sometimes he could use a clone for months without anyone noticing.

He came to the main base at the foot of the back mountain and sorted out the research materials of the past month. Then he planned to take a walk nearby. After all, his clone was still in class and he couldn't let anyone see the two Shinjis. He had no plans to fall out with the old bug for the time being and had to try his best to fade out of his sight.

However… His eyes swept towards the boxes of various sizes in the corner, which contained the “good stuff” that he had spent a lot of money on. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise. The day when they would fall out was not far away…

After school, the clone Shinji was preparing to go home and pretend as usual, but he suddenly sensed something while walking on the road, then smiled and walked into a dark alley on the side.

"You're finally back, the real one!"

"I have no interest in talking to myself."

“Tsk! Have you not turned back from the cold battlefield? This is the city, you will be exposed if you do this.”

After saying this, he did not stop, his body gradually turned into a tree, and after a compression, it turned into a seed that fell into Shinji's heart, and gradually merged into Shinji's palm, feeling the daily information of the past month. The strong contrast made Shinji dazed.

"It seems that we really need to pay attention to it."

Then he put on his school uniform, picked up his clone's schoolbag and went home.
