Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 149 I ask you, are you my master?

"Minato-sensei, you've finally arrived!"

Obito was the first to jump up, his face beaming with surprise: "Where have you been these past few days? I thought you'd forgotten about us! Um—Minato-sensei, do you have any inside information about the Chunin Exams, like the exam content or something? Hehe!"

"Sorry, I had to handle some village-related matters."

Minato Namikaze smiled, answered Obito's first question, and then corrected him, "Obito, the Chunin Exams are selection exams, and leaking the questions beforehand is against the rules. However—I will help you improve your strength as much as possible before the exam."

"Obito, I've found you a more suitable teacher—I'm counting on you, Fugaku."

As Minato Namikaze opened his mouth, another aura of chakra appeared on the grass.

It was Uchiha Fugaku, dressed in a dark green Jonin vest with a serious expression: "Uchiha Obito, right? I heard you activated the Two-Tomoe on the southwestern battlefield, very good. Come with me, I will teach you how to use these eyes."

Although they were from the same clan, Obito and Fugaku Uchiha were not close. If it weren't for Minato Namikaze's request and Obito's impressive record of opening two tomoe in one go, Fugaku, as the clan head, wouldn't have bothered wasting time on him.

Objectively speaking, Fugaku was indeed more suitable to teach Obito, since his fighting system was based on Sharingan and Fire Release, which was quite different from Minato Namikaze's, and the latter could only provide limited guidance.

"————Oh, okay."

Obito responded somewhat awkwardly, glanced at Rin Nohara, and left with a hint of reluctance.

after that.

Minato Namikaze turned to Yu Mikami, his tone becoming serious: "Yu, your current level far exceeds the standard for Chunin, so I'm not worried about whether you can pass the exam. I'm thinking about things in the long term."

"—What does Minato-sensei mean?"

How much do you know about psychic practices?

Minato Namikaze asked.

Upon hearing this, Yu Mikami's heart stirred.

So, it turns out they weren't going to teach "Flying Thunder God" but "Spirit Summoning"?

Also.

"Flying Thunder God" is essentially a derivative application of "Summoning Jutsu." Trying to skip the latter and directly learn Flying Thunder God is too difficult. So, learning the prerequisites first isn't a bad idea.

present.

Yu Mikami nodded: "I know a little. Summoning jutsu is a ninjutsu that uses contracts to summon creatures from different spaces. It is mainly divided into two categories: one is blood contract summoning, which summons beasts to assist in battle, and the other is object summoning, which targets specific objects, such as the legendary Rashomon of the First Hokage."

"That's right."

Minato Namikaze nodded approvingly. "Jiraiya-sensei and I are both contracted with Mount Myōboku, one of the three great summoning sanctuaries. The toads of Mount Myōboku are not only powerful, but also possess unique Sage Mode techniques—"

"Yu, your talent and potential are very high. With the help of Mount Myōboku, it will greatly benefit your future growth. I have already consulted with Jiraiya-sensei. If you are willing, I can act as your introducer to make you the third contractor of Mount Myōboku."

"!"

Yu's heart skipped a beat.

To be fair, this proposal carries considerable weight.

The summoning contracts of the three sacred lands are the dream of almost every ninja. Even an ordinary genin, as long as he can summon one of the Gamabunta brothers, is guaranteed to be able to fight against an elite jonin. Not to mention, Mount Myōboku also has a relatively mature Sage Mode system.

but----

Taming those unruly toads is no easy task.

Furthermore, Yu Mikami has another option: to leverage his relationship with Tsunade to obtain the summoning contract for Shikkotsu Forest. While slugs aren't as strong as toads in combat, their support capabilities are top-notch, and they basically don't require any taming process.

The only problem is whether Shikkotsu Forest has any Sage Mode inheritance. After all, the original work doesn't say where Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode came from.

—As for Ryuchi Cave, there's basically no need to consider it. Those guys are even harder to deal with than toads. Even Orochimaru couldn't handle them. Mikami Yu doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Considering that the summoned beasts of the Holy Land are exclusive, only one of the two can be chosen.

Yu Mikami found it difficult to make a decision.

Rin Nohara raised her hand curiously and asked, "Minato-sensei, is it necessary to have a summoning beast to use summoning jutsu?"

"Theoretically, yes."

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly: "However, only a few ninjas can form blood pacts with powerful summoning beast clans. Ordinary people can find suitable summoning beasts on their own, negotiate with them, or defeat them and subdue them for their own use."

"What if I cast a summoning jutsu without any prior knowledge of it? Will it summon something strange?"

Nohara Rin asked again.

"In that case, the chakra would be wasted, and nothing would happen. However, there are occasional exceptions. For example, Jiraiya-sensei recklessly experimented with summoning techniques when he was young, and ended up reversing his own summoning" to Mount Myōboku, which is how he became a contractor of Mount Myōboku."

After answering Rin Nohara's question, Minato Namikaze turned to Yu Mikami: "Yu, the choice of summoning beast does require careful consideration; there's no need to rush."

The invitation from Mount Myōboku remains valid. You can take your time to weigh the options. I'll teach you the technique itself first.

"This technique can be considered a type of space-time ninjutsu. Its hand seals and spatial positioning techniques are very valuable for study. It shares the same principles as higher-level space-time ninjutsu such as the Flying Thunder God Technique. Laying a good foundation in advance will make learning it much easier later."

"————Okay, I understand."

present.

Minato Namikaze began explaining to Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara.

From the structure of the seal to the key points of its use, and then to the many details that may arise during the process, we proceed step by step.

During this process, the familiar system notification box popped up with a "ding!":

[Ding! High-quality potential romance target detected: "Spirit Summoning"! Trigger encounter event?]

【whether】

Using the hand seals taught by your teacher, you drew a massive array on the training grounds west of Konoha Village. With a flash of light, a blonde girl with an elven-like appearance appeared before you.

She wore a long dress embroidered with ancient runes, and was barefoot, floating in mid-air. Semi-transparent chains hung from her wrists and ankles, extending into the silvery water, creating ripples. She opened her eyes, scrutinizing you as if examining an intriguing toy.

[Spirit Spell: (Yawning) Ah—it feels like I slept for a long time, and I'm finally seeing living people again.]

Hey, little guy, are you my master?

"----ah?"
