Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 121 Research on "Intimate Paradise" and the Attempt at "Needle Ksitigarbha" (Third Update)

Upon seeing Obito's attire, Mikami Yu was startled and almost thought he had traveled back in time again.

But he quickly realized: "Not handsome, very ugly."

Rin Nohara nodded and said seriously, "Yes, it feels strange and a little creepy when you wear this mask, Obito—it doesn't suit you. You should change it."

"Really? I think this mask is quite nice—"

Obito gave a slightly disappointed "Oh," but didn't argue with Rin. Instead, he picked up a wolf mask with bared teeth and put it on his face: "How about this one? A werewolf! Woof woof! Isn't it fierce?"

"Mmm! This feels much better!" Nohara Rin said with a smile, revealing two cute dimples.

"Hey boss, I'll buy this one!"

Overjoyed to have gained Rin's approval, Obito readily paid for the wolf-face mask and happily played with it in his hands.

Here.

Yuya Mikami stopped in front of a small shop selling stone carvings and looked inside.

According to the shop owner, these stone carvings are a specialty of the Oborozuki Castle area. They are made from high-quality stone from the nearby mountains and hand-carved by experienced craftsmen into various animals, trees, and cloud patterns. They have a warm luster and a translucent appearance, making them perfect as souvenirs. Even the daimyo of the Land of Fire praised them.

Yu Mikami plans to buy some so he can give them to his parents, Tsunade, Might Guy, and other people he's close to when he returns to the village.

It's not so much about getting tons of gold coins, but mainly about maintaining connections and building goodwill with others.

Of course, if the other party is in a good mood and offers some gold coins, then Mikami Yu wouldn't refuse.

It's been quite a while since they left the village. I wonder how the "Konoha Cola" project is progressing on Mikami Tajima's side.

present.

Mikami Yu selected several small, exquisite stone carvings and commissioned a Pixiu stone carving from the shop owner. This one was for Tsunade; the Pixiu symbolizes attracting wealth and never giving back, which should suit Tsunade's tastes perfectly. Although, to her, this symbolism was like throwing a wink at a blind person—

Seeing what Mikami Yu did, Nohara Rin thought for a moment and bought a few items as well. She also bought some specialty snacks, intending to share them with Minato, Kakashi, and the others when she got back.

The missions during the war were different from the usual assignments the village took on; they were mandated by the village. However, Miya would regularly provide stipends to each ninja on the front lines, so Mikami Yu and the others had a fair amount of cash on them, enough to get by unless they bought anything big.

On the way, the group saw a newsstand.

At this time.

Obito seemed to have thought of something. He looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then quickly moved between Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin, and said mysteriously, "Hey, Yu, Rin, I have something to tell you! It's about Kakashi!"

"Um?"

"Do you guys remember that book that Jiraiya-sama gave us? I think it was called 'Make-Out Everyday'?"

"It's 'Make-Out Paradise'."

Yu Mikami corrected.

"Everyday is fine" — if you didn't know better, you'd think it was an erotic novel about the twelve main characters.

"Ah, yes, yes, that's it!"

Obito whispered, "Yesterday, when Kakashi wasn't around, I secretly glanced at that book. I only saw a few lines, but—I felt like that book wasn't very proper. It was actually writing—well, you know, that kind of thing, you know?"

"That kind of thing?"

Nohara Rin was a little confused.

Obito stammered, "It's...it's...it's that kind of thing between men and women that's not suitable for children..."

"ah?!"

Rin Nohara gasped in surprise, her fair cheeks instantly flushing red. "No way? Jiraiya-sama is one of the legendary Sannin, how could he write—that kind of book? Could it be that Obito, you misread it? Or maybe it was just a small part?"

"You're definitely not mistaken! I use eye drops every day, my eyesight is excellent!"

Obito confidently declared, "However, I only read that little bit, and I don't know what the rest is—but those few lines were really—cough cough, the wording, and the tone, I'm embarrassed to even mention them!"

After a pause, Obito looked at Yu Mikami: "Yu, how about we team up? You distract Kakashi, and I'll take the opportunity to grab that book and take a look?"

"No need."

Yu Mikami's lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "Let's not make too much of a fuss about this. After all, Kakashi is at the age where he should be experiencing some teenage anxieties. Besides, if you really want to read 'Icha Icha Paradise,' you can just go to the bookstore and buy it yourself."

"Huh? Puberty worries?"

Obito was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.

Nohara Rin seemed to understand, her face flushed, and she glared at Mikami Yu with a hint of reproach: "Yu-kun!"

"What nonsense are you and Obito spouting?!"

"Ha ha."

Mikami Yu smiled and didn't delve deeper into the topic.

Speaking of which—

He doesn't seem to have read "Icha Icha Paradise" either, only seen a few paragraphs from the original story. Once this mission is over, he might consider getting a copy to see what kind of quality Jiraiya's masterpiece is.

Until evening.

The three of them, carrying large and small bags, returned to their base.

Kakashi remained seated under the tree, engrossed in his reading. However, when Mikami and the others entered, he quickly and naturally closed the copy of "Icha Icha Paradise," tucked it back into his ninja tool pouch, and then glanced at them, asking, "You're back?"

"Yeah, it's quite lively outside."

Yu Mikami casually replied, his gaze lingering on Kakashi's ninja tool bag for a moment, his smile deepening.

That evening's dinner was prepared and delivered by the Inu-Claw Squad.

It was somewhat like a boxed lunch, not very lavish, but much tastier than the dry rations served to soldiers.

After dinner.

Each member of the team began their own training.

Kakashi was researching Lightning Release, preparing to finalize his new technique, "Chidori." He had originally planned to test the technique during the last watchtower raid, but Mikami Yu had taken all the kills, leaving him no opportunity to try it out. He would have to wait another time.

Obito and Rin Nohara are practicing Shadow Clone Technique.

Yu Mikami then tried out "Needle Jizo".

Several days have passed since he received the scroll of "Needle Jizo" from Minato Namikaze. Logically speaking, it's reasonable that he could use it now after several days of exploration and practice.

So, Mikami Yu recalled the contents of the scroll, switched the "Transformation Technique" to the "Needle Jizo (Transformation Technique)" state, and then tried to mobilize his chakra, letting it flow through a series of meridians in his body, and finally condense in the hair roots on the top of his head.
