Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 150: Yu Mikami's Summoning Jutsu "Talent" and the Birth of "Nohara Shiro" (Part 2)

Yu Mikami paused for a moment.

It seems that this ninjutsu's appearance is quite different from the ones he has conquered before; it even makes references.

Then, several dialog boxes appeared:

[A: Yes, yes, I am your master. From now on, you must obey my every command and not disobey me!]

[B: Your chain looks so pretty, it's sparkly! Can I touch it?]

[C: (Silent, gazing at her with deep affection)]

'

Yu Mikami hesitated for a few seconds between A and B, and finally chose B.

[Spirit Spell: (A sly smile appears) Oh? What you want to touch, is it these chains, my feet, or—what might be tied to the other side of the chains?]

"—Something tied up?"

What does that mean?

[Spiritual Spell: Well—the other end of these chains has been connected to many interesting creatures in the past, such as a toad covered in bumps, a snake with a terrible temper, and a slimy slug—pulling these chains might allow you to meet them, but if you pull out something not to be trifled with, the consequences could be quite serious.]

"!!"

Yu Mikami's eyelids twitched.

Toad, giant snake, slug — these descriptions clearly refer to the spirit beasts of the Three Sacred Lands!

Could it be that the girl in front of me is a concept or meme called "spirit magic"? Any spirit beast that has ever been contracted by humans in history has been connected to her chains, and I can use these chains to bypass the restrictions of the blood contract and directly drag those guys over to work for me?

If that's the case—

That's a bit too buggy.

It seems unlikely.

[Summoning: Well—maybe, do you want to give it a try?]

Of course, we should try it.

After all, Minato Namikaze just taught him how to use it, so even without a summoning beast, he should still try it out a few times when he has the chance.

So, Yu Mikami temporarily turned his attention away from the Gag System and looked at Minato Namikaze in front of him. "Minato-sensei, I want to try the Summoning Jutsu."

"Oh? You've memorized it all so quickly? Good. Remember what I just said about the chakra flow path and spatial positioning. Try it out first, and I'll correct you if there are any problems."

Minato Namikaze encouraged him.

Mikami Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly began to form hand seals, then pressed his fingers to the ground. As the seals took shape, a circle of black runes spread out from under his palms, forming an ancient and profound pattern, and a portion of the chakra within Mikami Yu's body was instantly drained.

Without a pre-set contractual objective, nothing should have happened under normal circumstances.

but----

Buzz—

[You formed the hand seal for "Summoning," and with ripples in the space, one of the chains wrapped around your left hand began to rattle, as if pulled by an invisible object. She smiled, gave a sharp pull, and something emerged from beneath the silvery surface.]

[Summoning spell: Oh~ Not bad luck, I got something! It's a really cute little thing~]

in reality.

Yu Mikami looked down and saw a fluffy white dumpling appear out of thin air at his feet.

"Woof—Woof?"

It was a puppy that looked to be only a few months old. It was pure white and curled up like a fluffy cotton ball. It seemed to be confused and raised its little head, its wet black nose twitching as it made a weak and bewildered cry.

"Huh?!"

Nohara Rin was the first to let out a soft gasp of surprise, her eyes instantly lighting up and her face filled with affection, "What an adorable little puppy!"

the other side.

Minato Namikaze was a little stunned.

No—what's going on?

Where did this thing come from? Could it have been accidentally summoned by some wild group of spirit beasts?

At that moment, Minato Namikaze stepped forward, somewhat surprised, and crouched down to examine the little white dog that had just appeared. The dog was currently sticking out its pink little tongue, licking the fingertips that Rin Nohara had extended. When Minato touched it, it barked a few times, sounding very weak.

"Hmm—it looks like a completely ordinary puppy. Although there is chakra activity in its body, it is very weak, unlike the level of a cub from a high-level summoning beast clan—it's more like a ninja dog bred by the Inuzuka clan?"

Minato Namikaze looked puzzled.

Yuya Mikami was completely bewildered. Just as he was about to ask the "Summoning Technique" in the hidden system what kind of thing she had pulled up, he heard urgent barking from afar.

"Woof! Woof woof woof!"

The group looked up in unison, following the sound, and saw a young ninja wearing the Inuzuka clan's signature mesh lining and with red inverted triangle paint on his face, riding a large, tan dog at an extremely fast speed, only slowing down when he got close.

"Huh, is that Jonin Minato?"

"You are—Hideki Inuzuka?"

After recognizing each other, the ninja named Inuya Hideki jumped off the large dog, his gaze sweeping over Mikami Yu and the others before settling on the small white puppy in their midst: "Ah! So it was here! I was wondering why it suddenly disappeared—did it come here on its own?"

"Is this your dog?"

Minato Namikaze stood up and asked.

"yes."

Hideki Inuzuka nodded: "The clan recently had a new batch of puppies, and I happened to have some free time these past few days, so I brought them to the forest with a few clan members for basic training to select individuals suitable to be ninja dogs. I didn't expect to find one missing when we were counting them just now, so we came here."

As he spoke, Hideki Inuzuka squatted down, and the little white dog seemed to recognize him, immediately wobbling over and rubbing against his trouser leg.

Minato Namikaze hesitated, then asked, "If I told you—this little dog was summoned by my student using a summoning jutsu—would you believe me?"

"?"

A few minutes later.

Yu Mikami and the others learned the general situation from Hideki Inuzuka—

As ninja clans renowned for their animal-based secret techniques, the Inu and Aburame clans both have their settlements located on the edge of villages, near forest areas. About a kilometer away from their current training ground is the Inu clan's training area, where clan members frequently train their dogs.

so----

"Could it be that this little thing has the potential to become a powerful ninja dog, and just happened to sense Yu's summoning jutsu at that moment, and because of the close proximity, it was summoned without a blood pact being signed?"

It sounds a bit far-fetched, but there really isn't a more reasonable explanation. As "The Yellow Flash," Minato Namikaze's character is undeniable; Hideki Inuzuka couldn't possibly suspect that he and his master had conspired to steal his dog.

"So that's how it is—"

Inuya Hideki thought for a moment, "Since this little guy is destined to be with you, and it seems you like it quite a bit, then if you don't mind, you can keep this puppy! I'll just go back and report to the clan."

"Is this... appropriate?"

Mikami Yu asked.

"It's okay!"

Hideki Inuzuka waved his hand: "You're Yu Mikami, right? And this one next to you must be Rin Nohara? Tsurugi Inuzuka and I are cousins. I heard her mention your names in a letter before, saying that she would give you a few ninja dogs as companions when she had the chance. This is perfect time to fulfill that promise!"

"Hmm—there are two of you. If you're interested, you can come back with me and pick another one. We have quite a few good-looking puppies there."

Yes, Inuzuka Tsuru did mention that before, back in Wildfire Castle.

Even without this connection, trading a ninja dog for the friendship of Minato Namikaze, an elite Jonin who might even become Hokage in the future, and his disciple, would be a very worthwhile deal. Conversely, if the dog were to be taken away, it would be rather embarrassing.

"I don't think I need to."

Nohara Rin was tempted for a moment, then looked at the little white dog beside her: "I think this one is quite nice, how about Yu and I raise it together? Yu, what do you think?"

"no problem."

Yu Mikami nodded.

He wasn't very interested in keeping dogs; if he were to actually get one, he'd leave it with the Mikami Tajima couple as a pet to keep them company when he was away from the village. Since Nohara Rin was interested, it wouldn't be bad for her to do it for him; it would save him a lot of trouble.

Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin hugged the puppy and smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Alright then."

Hideki Inuya nodded, then took out a small notebook and pen from his ninja tool bag, quickly wrote a few lines, tore it off, and handed it to Yu Mikami. "These are the foods these puppies usually like to eat, some basic training tips, and things to pay attention to."

"Now that you've adopted it, you must treat it well. If you have any questions, you can come to the Inuzuka clan compound to ask me anytime."

Thank you.

As Hideki Inuya left.

The training ground fell silent once again.

Minato Namikaze withdrew his gaze, looked at the little puppy being held in Rin Nohara's arms, and said thoughtfully, "Yu, why don't you try again? I'll use my sensory ninjutsu to confirm how your summoning jutsu works."

"it is good."

Yuya Mikami had the same idea.

He formed hand seals again: Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei! Chakra surged within his body.

This time.

The girl used "spirit communication" to manipulate a chain on her right hand.

As a subtle spatial fluctuation appeared in reality, a small magpie with gray-blue feathers fluttered its wings and appeared before Yu Mikami. It seemed startled, chirped twice, and then flew away without hesitation.

Then came the third time.

A large brown lizard, more than half a meter long, with rough scales and a long tail, appeared out of nowhere. It looked as if it had fallen from a tree, lying sprawled on the ground. It lay motionless for a while before suddenly rolling over and darting into the bushes on all fours.

"6

Minato Namikaze was at a loss for words. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Rin Nohara and asked, "Rin, why don't you give it a try?"

"Um!

""

Nohara Rin watched Mikami Yu play for a long time, and was extremely envious. She then earnestly tried to perform a summoning jutsu, forming hand seals. However, after several attempts, apart from depleting her chakra, nothing changed in her surroundings.

Then Minato Namikaze tried it himself, and it was the same.

"this----"

Minato Namikaze opened his mouth, a hint of confusion in his azure eyes: "Yu—your summoning jutsu is indeed a bit strange."

"From what I sense, your chakra seems to have undergone some kind of mutation during the final positioning and traction process. Instead of pointing to a specific contract mark, it randomly captured a coordinate, resulting in randomly grabbing a living being from within a few kilometers of space and summoning it here—"

"This special talent is something I've never seen before."

Yes, it is indeed a talent.

After all, many people who have signed blood pacts are not necessarily able to reliably summon the summoning beasts they want during battle, and occasionally the summoning beasts will break up with their masters and refuse to work.

Even though Mikami Yu was a beginner in summoning magic, he could summon something every time he used it, even if it was just some ordinary small animals, which was enough to surprise people.

No matter what —

"This at least proves that you have a talent for summoning techniques and you grasped the principles of the technique very quickly. Next, you can practice with ninja tools or some small animals to familiarize yourself with the chakra control when summoning and releasing, before considering the issue of contracting a summoning beast."

Minato Namikaze patted Yu Mikami on the shoulder, his tone returning to its usual gentleness.

"----I see."

Yu Mikami was starting to realize what was going on.

So that's why—

This newly appeared "spirit medium" girl is a fisherman.

The chains binding her hands and feet are essentially fishing rods, and using "summoning" is like casting a line with these rods to catch fish. Currently, perhaps because she's just starting out and lacks proficiency, coupled with her insufficient chakra reserves, the only fish she can catch in the nearby ponds are small, unskilled fish.

But what about the future?

Given time, it should be possible to catch a "big fish" of the level of the Three Sacred Lands.

Yu Mikami plans to follow Minato Namikaze's advice and practice with small animals and ninja tools to improve his proficiency before deciding which holy land he wants to form a contract with.

present.

Yu Mikami glanced at Rin Nohara, who was carefully picking up the puppy, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The latter also noticed his self-illumination at the right moment, turned around, and said with a beaming smile, "Yu, shall we give it a name?"

"As for a name—let's call him Xiaobai."

Yu Mikami said casually.

"Little White—isn't it a bit too ordinary?"

"It's alright, your name suits you. If you think it's too simple, then we'll use your surname and call you 'Nohara Shiro'."

"Ah—what do you mean by 'taking my surname'—"

Nohara Rin pursed her lips, a blush creeping onto her face as if she had thought of something strange. She quickly shook her head to clear her mind, then happily rubbed her cheek against the puppy's fluffy head: "Okay, from now on I'll call you Shiro."

The little white dog wagged its tail and let out a comfortable whimper, seemingly quite satisfied with the result.
