Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 166: Choosing the strategy with the most bullet comments, the Water and Fire Dragons decide the victory! (Two-in-one)

In the center of the field.

Yu Mikami stood calmly, his short white hair fluttering in the breeze.

Opposite him, a stocky Iwagakure ninja named Toki had dark skin and his eyes were fixed on Mikami Yu, filled with undisguised fighting spirit.

"start!"

At the examiner's command, Toki immediately crouched down and pressed his palms forcefully into the ground: "Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

Rumble! The hard ground churned violently, and several sharp rock spears burst from the ground, tearing through the air with a shrill whistle, stabbing fiercely at Mikami Yu from different angles. Every move was a deadly attack that left no room for mercy!

Faced with the rapidly approaching attack, Mikami Yu clasped his hands together, and his full head of white hair suddenly grew wildly, hardened, and then intertwined tightly like tough white steel needles, forming a solid white shield in front of him: "Ninja Art: Needle Jizo!"

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

A series of sharp, piercing impacts rang out! The rock spear slammed into the shield formed by the white hair, sending sparks flying and shards of rock flying. The powerful impact caused the shield to dent slightly, but it could not advance any further!

Seeing this, Toki continued to keep his hands pressed to the ground, and his chakra surged again: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave!"

""

Whoosh!

Centered on Yu Mikami, the ground within a radius of tens of meters instantly softened and liquefied, turning into a sticky, churning swamp! Several giant hands made of mud emerged from the swamp, covered in sticky mud, and reached for Yu Mikami, who was covered in white hair. However, just as they were about to touch him, they were blocked by a wall of fire that suddenly rose up!

"Fire Release: Great Fire Wall!!"

As a skin for "Great Fireball," Yu Mikami's "Great Fire Wall" also has the property of heating up. Although he did not raise it to a blazing white of over a thousand degrees to avoid attracting attention, the orange flames of eight or nine hundred degrees still dried up the surrounding mud, forming a solid ground.

Then, Mikami Yu stepped out and rushed out, swinging his ninja tools one after another, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, throwing them towards the direction of Toki, colliding and intertwining in mid-air, covering all the space around Toki!

While Toki swung his kunai to defend himself, he dodged to the side. Meanwhile, Mikami Yu gripped the thin steel wires wrapped around the kunai and shuriken he had just used, and spat out a "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique," which swiftly passed through the tens of meters between the two of them and slammed into Toki's "Earth Flow Wall"!

Bang——! !

A piercing explosion, accompanied by a blast of hot air, swept outwards!

How to put it—

The final exam of the Chunin Exams, strictly speaking, was no longer an exam. It was more of an open tournament with a performance aspect, where the focus was no longer on passing the selection process.

Although Mikami Yu has at least nine ways to quickly defeat Toki, or even kill him outright, things would be too fast and lose their appeal. He needs to employ more visually striking tactics to showcase the brilliance of Konoha ninja and delight the audience.

in other words----

It's about using the most bullet hell tactics!

really.

As Yu Mikami and Toki got to work.

In the surrounding stands, the audience began to murmur amongst themselves: "Wow, as expected of Konoha's new generation genius, he's definitely much better than those before—not only is his ninjutsu amazing, but he can also wield his shuriken with so many variations! It's practically a work of art, truly an eye-opener!"

"Speaking of which, that Iwa ninja is pretty strong. Although he's been using Earth Release the whole time, he knows all kinds of ninjutsu. It feels like this isn't a Chunin battle anymore, but more like a Jonin battle—that kid named Mikami Yu should be able to win, right?"

"Croak! To witness such a spectacular battle up close, it would be worth dying for!"

Compared to the ordinary citizens who were simply watching the spectacle, the ninjas saw much more: "Huh, was he just using Jiraiya-sama's 'Needle Jizo'?"

"I heard that the child is Minato Namikaze's disciple, and Minato is Jiraiya's disciple. He probably learned it because of this relationship. However, Jiraiya's hair technique is quite difficult to learn. To be able to use it so skillfully, it seems that he has spent a lot of time and effort in private."

"really."

From a vantage point near the arena, Yuhi Shinku squinted, watching the two figures locked in combat. She murmured, "Actually, that child's forte is swordsmanship. He had several opportunities to get close and strike, but he missed them all—was it intentional or accidental?"

"Swordsmanship?"

Another ninja frowned: "I heard from Minato that his disciple is a fire-style genius, having mastered the 'Great Fireball Technique' to a level even stronger than a typical B-rank fire-style technique?"

"Isn't he a specialist in medical ninjutsu? I saw him frequently at the Konoha Hospital a few months ago—"

"Will you still be with Lady Tsunade?"

"?"

The ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment.

Only Yuuki Shinku, who had personally fought Mikami Yu, vaguely understood something, but was still somewhat incredulous: Wait—could this child actually be a multi-skilled, all-around warrior? He's dabbled in ninjutsu, close combat, and even medical ninjutsu? And his skills in all of them are quite high?

This situation isn't unprecedented. For example, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the current Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, were all multi-skilled geniuses. But—without exception, all of them were Kage-level shinobi. Even tracing back to their younger days, they were already Jonin.

But Mikami Yu is only a child of ten years old, how could he have so much energy?

Or is this—the true value of genius?

Amidst a cacophony of discussion.

The battle between Mikami Yu and Toki has reached a fever pitch.

The latter, as the representative of Iwagakure, may not seem to be the top Iwagakure elite, but their strength is still quite good.

His use of Earth Release techniques was skillful and fluid, seamlessly integrating offense and defense. At this moment, he was employing a B-rank ninja technique called "Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon"—

Technique.

This move is somewhat similar to "Earth Dragon Bullet". Both use Earth Release chakra to create a ferocious giant dragon. Compared to the latter, "Earth Stone Dragon" has a smaller body, but its body is mixed with a considerable amount of rock and soil, making it harder. It roars and charges towards Mikami Yu, with a terrifying momentum!

Yu Mikami suddenly stopped, pressed his toes firmly on the ground, and then his body floated backward like a weightless willow catkin!

call!call!

The enormous dragon head bit down hard from where he had just stood, stirring up a rain of muddy droplets, and then charged again! Mikami Yu's figure twisted and turned, like a swift darting through a storm, narrowly avoiding all attacks, his movements incredibly agile.

"—Hey, are all the ninjas of Konoha good at is hiding like rats?!"

Unable to break through, Toki grew increasingly impatient. Several other Iwagakure spectators in the stands booed at the opportune moment.

"----Oh."

Mikami Yu sneered.

He originally wanted to play with this guy a little longer, let him display more and more spectacular ninjutsu, and then launch a "last-ditch counterattack" to win the battle.

but----

Since the other party is already getting impatient, there's no need for him to save face for them anymore.

present.

Yu Mikami calmly observed Toki's rhythm. In the instant when Toki's breathing became slightly sluggish due to anger, he suddenly stopped, lowered his center of gravity, and made a feint with his right hand. Then, in the next instant, he twisted his waist and hips, drew his sword from behind his back, and made an iaido slash!

Whoosh!

At that moment, only a flash of light was seen as the gleaming blade collided violently with the dragon head made of rock, and a deafening explosion instantly resounded throughout the entire arena! Under the impact of the two immense forces, a violent shockwave mixed with mud exploded in a ring, making it impossible for nearby spectators to open their eyes!

"What happened?!"

"Look at that flash of light—it's blinding!"

Amidst countless horrified gazes, the awe-inspiring earth and stone dragon was actually blasted straight through by this single strike! The massive dragon head, along with a small portion of its body, cracked inch by inch, turning into countless fragments of stone and dust that rained down!

"What?!"

"One strike—it shattered the earthen dragon?!"

Toki's pupils constricted sharply, in disbelief.

Large plumes of smoke, dust, and gravel scattered outwards.

Yu Mikami's figure became clear again amidst the dust and mist. Without pausing, he formed three simple hand seals: Zi—Chou—Yin!

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

This technique was taught to Yu Mikami by Hiruzen Sarutobi at the Hokage Building just three days ago. Now, he has "learned" it in just three days and used it at this moment.

Crash—!!!

A surge of powerful water-attribute chakra erupted, coalescing in mid-air to form a lifelike, azure-blue dragon, roughly the size of an earth dragon, which roared with its head held high. Its scales and claws flashed, whipping up towering water vapor, its power astonishing.

"----go!"

Mikami Yu exhaled and began to speak.

The next moment, the water dragon, with the power to crush everything, rushed towards Tuqi! Wherever it passed, the remaining mud on the ground was instantly washed away!

"So fast!"

Toki was horrified. In his haste, he desperately gathered his chakra and slammed his palms heavily on the ground: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

Rumble! A thick earthen wall rose rapidly, blocking his way.

Almost the instant the "earth wall" formed, Mikami Yu's water dragon bullet had already reached it, slamming into the earthen wall with a loud "bang"! The sturdy earthen wall only held for a second or two before collapsing and crumbling! The massive water dragon continued its momentum as it crashed into the earthen mound behind the wall!

puff!

As if struck by a heavy hammer, Toki was violently swept away by the raging torrent of water, crashing heavily into the barrier wall at the edge of the arena. A huge splash of water rose nearly ten meters high, hitting the barrier at the edge of the examination hall and creating ripples. This drew gasps from the spectators in the stands.

Meanwhile, Toki had already spat out blood and fell heavily from mid-air, looking extremely disheveled.

He was quite resilient; even at this point, he still tried to struggle to his feet and continue fighting.

but----

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Another ferocious fire dragon made of blazing flames rose up beside Mikami Yu. Both its size and aura were more astonishing than the water dragon from before. After all, even with the ability to reduce chakra consumption, it was still difficult to create a powerful water-style technique in a waterless place.

Actually, Mikami Yu originally wanted to release both dragons at the same time, creating a "double dragons playing with a pearl" effect, but he overestimated his abilities. Simultaneously using Water Release and Fire Release is something that currently only the user of the Boil Release bloodline limit from Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) could possibly accomplish.

But that's enough.

Having just struggled to his feet, Toki looked at the massive, poised fire dragon, and a flicker of despair finally crossed his eyes. His chakra had been almost completely depleted in the previous defense, leaving him utterly powerless to withstand the fatal blow that was about to follow!

"I surrender."

Toki raised his hands in surrender.

Seeing this, Nara Shikaku, acting as the examiner, coughed and gestured to Mikami Yu: "This round can be over—the winner of this round is Mikami Yu of Konoha!"

Amidst the smoke and heat, Mikami slowly lowered his hands, and the fiery dragon dissipated into a ball of blazing flame.

The training ground fell into a brief silence, which was then followed by a deafening roar of cheers and applause!

"We won! Yu Mikami won!"

"That's incredible! They used both Water Release and Fire Release simultaneously—those two giant dragons looked so cool, they almost looked real!"

"And he only used three hand seals! To use such a high-level ninjutsu with just three hand seals is unbelievable!"

"Is this what Konoha's geniuses are like? Iwagakure is nothing compared to them!"

The edge of the stands.

Asuma and Obito stared, speechless for a long time.

They were already considered to be the people who "understood" Mikami Yu's strength the most, but every time they witnessed the latter's battle, they were still able to refresh their understanding.

Beside them, Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Further away, Tsunade sat with Shizune on a high platform, arms crossed, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Hmph, all flashy and showy, just like that idiot Jiraiya—but overall, their performance was passable."

at this time.

The "harem" members within the hidden system also started chattering away:

[Great Dragon Fire Technique (Great Fireball): Hmph, see? You still need me to win. In front of me, all defenses are useless!]

[Phoenix Fire Technique: (Silently burning, emitting an unpleasantly high temperature) Waaaaah, why wasn't I chosen to participate in this battle? So many people were watching, I wanted to be the center of attention too! Seriously!]

[Water Dragon Bullet - Tobirama Version (Water Rumble): Not bad, I'm quite satisfied with the design this time.]

[Water Ripple Technique: Affection +2, Current Affection 95/100]

[Clone Technique: (Silent, just looking at you with resentment)]

""

Mikami let out a long sigh, mumbled a few words in his mind to calm down a few ninjutsu, glanced at Toki who was being helped away by his Iwagakure comrades, and then calmly walked back to the rest area under the gaze of countless eyes that were either admiring, amazed, or wary.
