Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 183 Mikami Yu's Promise, Uchiha Madara's Scheme (Part 2)

Hiroshi Nohara's statement has a hint of setting a flag.

If the latter also carried photos of Nohara Rin and Nohara Misae with him, and took them out to look at them from time to time while on the front lines, that would be an even more standard flag—

Yu Mikami paused for a moment before nodding and saying slowly and earnestly, "Uncle Hiroshi, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I will do everything in my power to protect Rin from harm. If you want to touch her, you'll have to step over my dead body."

This is a very important promise.

After all, for Rin Nohara, the greatest threat wasn't the enemies on the battlefield, but Madara Uchiha. As long as Obito remained Madara's chosen successor and harbored feelings for Rin, it would be very difficult for Rin to survive.

Stopping all of this will be no easy task. It will require risking one's life.

certainly----

Considering that Mikami Yu is now a member of Minato's team, whether he admits it or not, he has already formed some bond with Obito. Therefore, it's possible that Madara Uchiha might use him as a scapegoat to provoke Obito.

It's hard to say whether Madara Uchiha can still use the Rinnegan's abilities, but he can definitely activate the Complete Susanoo. Theoretically, if he still has the Sharingan he retained from before, he can also use Izanagi and Izanami. There are very few people in the current ninja world who can stand against him.

If he were to face him one day, Yu Mikami thought he should study "Reverse Summoning" and "Flying Thunder God" more carefully, and figure out how to make a quick escape.

"Yuu!"

In reality, Nohara Rin's cheeks instantly flushed red, half from gratitude and half from embarrassment. She quickly interrupted him playfully, "Honestly, why are you saying such unlucky things so early in the morning! May both you and Daddy be safe and sound!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing his daughter's anxious expression, Hiroshi Nohara's worry dissipated, replaced by a hearty laugh. He patted Yu Mikami's shoulder forcefully, the pat heavy with trust and expectation. "Good lad! With your promise, I'm relieved!"

"I'm leaving now, see you in a few days."

With that, Hiroshi Nohara slung his bag over his shoulder, turned around, and strode toward the assembly point at the village entrance, ready to head to the front lines with the others.

Rin Nohara stared in the direction her father had disappeared, her eyes slightly red, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

Yu Mikami glanced at the girl beside him, let out a soft breath, and said gently, "Don't worry too much, Rin. Uncle Hiroshi is an experienced ninja; he's crossed more bridges than we've walked roads. He'll be fine."

"Besides, we probably won't be staying in the village for too long. Maybe in a few days or a week or two, we'll be sent back to the front lines to provide support. Maybe we'll even reunite with Uncle Hiroshi on the battlefield then."

"—Yes, you're right."

Rin Nohara nodded vigorously, trying to suppress her sorrow and pull herself together: "The war must continue, and we must strive to become stronger so we can survive on the battlefield! Hmm—how about we go find Obito this afternoon and train together?"

"it is good."

Mikami Yu nodded slightly, then added, "Let's call Asuma and the others too. Everyone's a Chunin now, so we'll probably be on the battlefield soon. We've got battlefield experience, so let's give them a heads-up."

Nohara Rin had no objection to this.

We're all classmates, we see each other all the time, so it's no problem to help each other out.

Hmm—it would be better if that red-eyed girl didn't get so close to Mikami Yu.

That noon, the two ate lunch at home and rested for a while before heading out together to the Uchiha clan's territory to find someone and begin planning their joint training.

at the same time.

The Mountain Prison, located near the Valley of the End.

Madara Uchiha sat languidly beneath the Gedo Mazo, reviewing the information he had obtained from Black Zetsu.

"Hmph, this brat named Yahiko is so naive, aspiring to create peace without resorting to extreme force? How laughable, just like that idiot, always harboring unrealistic fantasies about this world."

That's right.

At this time, the Akatsuki organization was still led by Yahiko. It was established after Jiraiya completed his three-year training and left Amegakure, and it had only been developing for about three years.

Although Yahiko's ideals attracted a group of like-minded people to join, giving the organization some fame in Amegakure, it was still not significant enough in the entire ninja world. Their actions were mostly minor and insignificant; if it weren't for Nagato, Madara wouldn't have bothered to even look at them.

at this time.

Black Zetsu spoke up from the side, "Lord Madara, should we get rid of this guy? With him around, Nagato might not be able to serve as the leader of Akatsuki, which would be detrimental to your 'Eye of the Moon Plan.'"

"No need."

Madara Uchiha shook his head, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "Such naive idealism is destined to perish in this cruel ninja world. We don't need to lift a finger; reality will teach them the most profound lesson, and that will be the opportunity to reshape Nagato's worldview."

"...

'

Hei remained silent.

After a brief silence.

Madara Uchiha spoke again: "By the way, how's that white-haired brat from Konoha doing lately?"

"Reporting to Lord Madara, he has recently been nominated as a Special Jonin, and together with Minato Namikaze and others, he rescued a member of the Uzumaki clan from Kusagakure. He was rewarded by Konoha with several new ninjutsu. Moreover, it seems he has gained Tsunade's approval and was taught some medical ninjutsu by her—"

How to put it—

The abilities of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu are indeed a bit overpowered when used for intelligence gathering.

Especially when someone is being given special attention, it's practically impossible to hide information unless you go to places like the Three Holy Lands to train secretly.

even----

"This is a drink that brat made with Tsunade. It's been selling quite well in Konoha and the Land of Fire lately. I specifically asked White Zetsu to get a few bottles for Madara-sama to take a look at."

As Black Zetsu spoke, he handed over several glass bottles with leaf-shaped logos, which were the once-popular "Konoha Cola".

"?"

Madara Uchiha casually picked up a bottle, looked at it, then popped the cap off, brought it close to his nose to smell it, and then tilted his head back to take two sips. He felt the sweet, bubbly liquid slide down his throat, and raised an eyebrow: "The taste is a bit peculiar, but it's just an ordinary drink. Don't worry about it."

"White Zetsu".

With that, Madara tossed the remaining cola to Tobi, the White Zetsu, who was standing not far away: "Here you go. After you drink this, don't keep nagging me about those pointless questions all the time."

One such question, considered "boring," is "what does poop smell like?"

Although he knew that these White Zetsu were mindless creations, Madara Uchiha still wanted to strangle a few from time to time to avoid having his ears filthy from their foul language.

at this time.

Black Zetsu spoke again: "Lord Madara, the combined forces of Kumogakure and Sunagakure have formed a united front against Konoha. It is expected that Obito Uchiha, Yu Mikami, and others will soon return to the battlefield. What should we do?"

"Wait a minute."

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The battlefield is a crucible that tempers the heart and twists beliefs. We need to create an opportunity, a desperate situation that will shatter Obito's hopes. Ideally, this desperate situation should come from his trusted comrades or the village."

"You mean—"

"Shimura Danzo."

Madara Uchiha uttered the name: "That guy inherited the dark side of Tobirama Senju. Like his teacher, he is a born evil person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Given the talent that Yu Mikami has shown, as well as his bloodline identity with Obito, he must have already attracted Danzo's close attention."

"With a little provocation and guidance, causing a misunderstanding between 'Root' and Mikami Yu's group—a good show will naturally unfold before our eyes."

"Black Zetsu, continue to keep a close eye on Obito and the others, and monitor their every move. Especially after they return to the battlefield, don't let any opportunity slip by."

"Yes, sir."

Black Zetsu nodded in agreement.

Then, Madara Uchiha turned his gaze to the distance, looking thoughtfully at the Land of Water across the sea.

"The three kingdoms of fire, wind, and thunder have already started to move. As for the Land of Earth, that brat Onoki is cunning and not easy to control. So—it's about time to make a move on Kirigakure and let it play its proper role on this stage."

"This pool of water needs to become even muddier and more chaotic."

In Madara Uchiha's heart, a massive storm was brewing once again.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Several gasps rose and fell.

Training grounds in Konoha Village.

Mikami Yu stood holding a sword, his clothes slightly dirty.

opposite.

Obito, Asuma, and Raido Namiashi were panting heavily, their hands on their knees, as if they had just gone through a fierce battle.

Just now.

The four of them teamed up for a battle, with Mikami Yu taking on Obito and the other two alone.

But the result...

You can tell just by looking at their positions.

Although Obito and the other two were not partners and had no chemistry when fighting together, the three of them used almost every trick in the book, from ninjutsu to taijutsu to swordsmanship, but they still couldn't defeat Mikami Yu and could only manage a draw. This undoubtedly made them somewhat discouraged.

In fact, judging from Mikami Yu's current performance, this "draw" should be put in quotes. Obito and the others are already exhausted, but Mikami Yu looks like he can still keep fighting. If this were a real battlefield, he probably would have already gotten a triple kill.

"Damn it, why are you improving so fast, Yu! I've seen it all!"

"And those ninjutsu techniques just now, they were so close to hitting you—ugh, I'm so annoyed!"

Obito stomped his foot in frustration, his Sharingan swirling resentfully beneath his goggles.

He originally thought that the Sharingan was invincible, and he had indeed seen most of Mikami Yu's movements, but he just couldn't find a way to attack his opponent. It was as if no matter which direction he attacked from, he couldn't find any weakness in his opponent.

This result was hard for Obito to accept.

Asma wasn't much better than him.

As the son of the Third Hokage, Asuma was somewhat rebellious and often disregarded his father, but he still harbored a sense of pride and always felt that most of his peers were inferior to him, even Kakashi, who was only temporarily ahead of him.

The saying goes, "It's not true fatness if you get fat first, but it's fatness that crushes the bed later." In the long run, I still have the potential to become the strongest master of the new generation in Konoha.

Can----

What's going on with this Yu Mikami?

How come he seems to be improving every time we meet, and at an ever-increasing rate? Has he never encountered any bottlenecks in his cultivation?

Hmm—no, actually.

After all, Yu Mikami's journey so far has relied entirely on his own efforts, with only a tiny bit of help provided by the Corner System.

Although he did encounter some troubles along the way, such as the special event that the "Healing Technique" was still stuck and the "Neural Activation Technique" was still incomplete, his existing abilities were enough to leave his peers far behind, so there was no question of a bottleneck.

"Obito, your Fire Release technique is powerful enough, but the timing of its release is flawed. It's too obvious, and experienced opponents can easily see through it and dodge or defend against it. If you hadn't wasted so many opportunities, you wouldn't be this exhausted with your chakra."

"And Asuma, your fighting style is too reckless. You always try to trade blows with your enemies, but some ninjas have the ability to kill on first encounter. They could very well kill you with just one strike, just like I used the Binding Seal to control you just now."

"If you don't correct this mistake, you'll die because of it sooner or later."

Mikami Yu offered some pointers.

In fact, it wasn't just Asuma; many ninjas had a habit of trading blows during battles.

For example, when Kakashi first encountered Zabuza, he deliberately let himself be cut in the hand, leaving blood on Zabuza so that he could summon the Eight Ninja Dogs to find him. If Zabuza had been replaced by Hidan—Kakashi would probably have died long ago.

Mikami Yu's words were both a warning to the other person and a reminder to himself.

Although Hidan is an exception, and may not have acquired the power of the Jashin at this time, Sunagakure is known for its use of poison. Once a wound is left and the opponent applies poison, losing the ability to fight or even being killed is just a matter of minutes.

In fact, a true master of poisoning can inflict poison on an enemy without even needing a wound.

If you want to live longer in this world, you have to be more careful.

"----knew."

Asma nodded and fell into deep thought.

Obito, on the other hand, was scratching his hair in frustration, still immersed in anxiety and frustration.

Only by remaining calm and focused on the same goals can one avoid feeling disappointed. After all, as long as one's expectations of oneself are low enough, one will not feel disappointed.

next to.

Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai, who had just finished a sparring match, came over and handed several bottles of water to Mikami Yu and the others. The cool liquid helped alleviate the post-training heat.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Kakashi much lately."

"Nohara Rin suddenly said."
