Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 175 The Idea of ​​"Supreme Hokage" and Kurenai Yuhi's Visit

"?"

""

Yu Mikami was slightly taken aback, not expecting Tsunade to suddenly ask this, but he quickly straightened up and looked at her calmly: "Yes, very seriously."

Tsunade let out a soft breath, her gaze sweeping over Nohara Rin and Uzumaki Kana who were looking this way not far away, and then looking at the continuous rooftops in the distance, she said calmly, "To be honest, my strength is not as good as those two guys, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, and may even be inferior to that kid Minato."

"Although many people in the village call me Princess Tsunade," that's just a fancy name. In reality, I'm just a carefree person with no political ambitions and no resources that could make someone rise to the top overnight.

"Becoming my disciple is not a wise choice. With your aptitude, there are better options."

"It's okay."

Mikami Yu's lips curled into a slight smile: "Who can predict the future? Maybe I'll become the Slayer of the Shadows, and then you'll be honored as the Supreme Hokage," ruling from behind the scenes. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Pfft—cough cough!"

Tsunade nearly choked on her own saliva, looking utterly speechless: "W-what? Retired Hokage? Ruling from behind the curtain? Where did you get these nonsensical terms from?"

"I made it up myself."

Yu Mikami said casually.

In the aristocratic system of the Naruto world, there is actually something similar to an "emperor emeritus," but it's not called that.

As a cultured person in Konoha, Tsunade was naturally able to understand what Mikami Yu was trying to express.

now.

She sighed, somewhat speechless, and then gave Mikami Yu a complicated look, as if she had made up her mind.

"Alright, stop joking around. Come over here later."

"I'm definitely going to lose that bet, so there's no need to wait until the six-month period is up to fulfill it. Anyway, I've already taken Jingyin as my disciple, so adding another one won't hurt."

'

From Tsunade's perspective, this is a case of dying sooner rather than later. Since she's going to lose anyway, she might as well be more decisive and, considering the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver she'll receive in monthly dividends, taking on a disciple wouldn't be a bad thing.

However, according to Mikami Yuu—

What, is Tsunade going to imitate Bodhi Patriarch and give a lesson under the stars? Shouldn't she tap her own head three times first?

Although he inwardly scoffed, Mikami Yu smiled and said, "Yes, Lady Tsunade!"

Next.

Tsunade didn't say anything more, but got up from next to Yu Mikami and went to talk to Kana Uzumaki about the follow-up arrangements.

While Konoha wouldn't use Kana Uzumaki as a blood bank like Kusagakure did, some scientific experiments would still be difficult to avoid for a member of the Uzumaki clan with "physical healing" abilities. Besides, Kana Uzumaki herself would need to find some work to do; she couldn't just sit around doing nothing.

These all need to be discussed, taking into account both Uzumaki Kana's own opinion and Konoha's conditions.

Yes, and Naoto Uzumaki too.

However, the latter is not as important as Kana Uzumaki, so we can talk about it later.

At this point, Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin could not linger and disturb them any longer. After saying goodbye to the others, they set off and left the Senju clan's territory.

on the way back.

Nohara Rin moved closer to Mikami Yu and whispered, "Yu, what did you and Tsunade talk about just now? Your expressions suddenly became very serious?"

"Ah, Lady Tsunade is interested in taking me as her disciple and is asking for my opinion."

95

Yu Mikami said.

"?"

"But don't worry, I'll mention it to Lady Tsunade and ask you to join her sect as well."

"Really?"

Rin Nohara's eyes lit up, then she hesitated slightly: "Lady Tsunade's requirements for taking on disciples must be very high, right? Yu, you've always been so outstanding, whether it's regular ninjutsu or medical skills, you're definitely not a problem, but my talent is limited, if Lady Tsunade doesn't agree—"

"It's okay. If she doesn't agree, I'll teach you privately."

Mikami Yu paused, turned around and looked at her: "Besides, Rin, your talent is also excellent, so there's no need to belittle yourself. I'm just a little luckier than you."

In a sense, that's the truth.

Without any external advantages, Mikami Yu's original talent was indeed inferior to Nohara Rin's. After all, even in the original timeline, the latter had mastered the Healing Palm Technique before the age of 12 and was able to perform eye swaps for Kakashi and Obito on the battlefield, so her aptitude was by no means bad.

"By the way, Lin, how's your Water Ripple practice going?"

Mikami Yu suddenly remembered this and spoke again, "If I have time in a couple of days, I'll train with you once and teach you 'Water Wall' and 'Water Dragon Bullet'."

"OK!"

This time, Nohara Rin truly showed joy.

For her, Tsunade was an idol worthy of admiration, but somewhat distant. Her status, strength, and talent made her someone she could only look up to.

In comparison, Yu Mikami, who is both a childhood friend and teammate, feels more real.

In particular, since returning to the village to participate in the Chunin Exams, she and Mikami Yu haven't spent much time together. They've either been training separately or the other has been out of the village on missions. If there's a chance to spend time alone, she naturally has to seize the opportunity.

present.

The two chatted and laughed all the way home, and said goodbye at their respective doorsteps.

Mikami Aoi had already prepared dinner.

After the meal.

Yu Mikami originally intended to go directly to Tsunade.

But an unexpected guest arrived at the Mikami residence—

"Yu-kun, are you home?"

"----red?"

Yu Mikami opened the door and found Kurenai Yuhi standing outside.

The latter stood gracefully in the doorway, her fair face flushed slightly, her signature ruby ​​eyes looking at him with a hint of nervousness: "Good evening, Yu! Um—congratulations on your promotion to Special Jonin! This is a celebratory gift for you!"

"?"

Yu Mikami paused slightly, noticing the beautifully packaged little box that Kurenai Yuhi was handing over with both hands: "Ah—thank you, may I open it and take a look?"

"sure!"

After receiving Kurenai's approval, Yu Mikami opened the small box and saw a pair of exquisitely crafted black wristbands lying on a deep red velvet cloth. The wristbands were made of a tough leather that resembled that of some kind of ninja beast, with fine and neat stitching, clearly indicating that they were expensive items.

"What a wonderful gift, thank you for spending so much, Hong."

Mikami Yu smiled and said, "Would you like to come in and sit down? Have a glass of water?"

"—No, thank you!"

Kurenai glanced involuntarily into the room, seemingly tempted, but then shook her head: "It's a bit late today, so I won't bother you! Let's train together another day—another day when we have the chance!"

"My father has been mentioning you a lot these past few days, saying he'd like to have another spar with you sometime to see how much your swordsmanship compares to that of Senior White Fang."
