Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 293 Uchiha Madara: Kirigakure is incompetent, I must personally take the field! A surprise attack from the sky! (Two chapters combined)

Feeling his chakra being restored, Mikami Yuu felt more confident.

When it comes to Samehada, everyone who uses it raves about it. Just the fact that it can restore chakra makes it incredibly cost-effective among the Seven Ninja Swords, far surpassing the likes of the Executioner's Blade.

At that moment, Mikami Yu sat down on the spot, maintaining the "Thousand Threads Net" with one hand while using the other to draw a circle in the air with the "Thunder God's Sword." Clear water appeared in mid-air as the blade passed through, resembling a round mirror. Tiny sparks crackled and danced at the edges of the mirror.

"Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!"

The moment the technique was completed, a short, club-shaped replica of Yagura leaped out of the round mirror and charged at Yagura himself, who was not far away, without any expression.

"What?!"

Yagura Karatachi was stunned, his face showing an expression of disbelief and astonishment: "Water Mirror Technique?! This... how is this possible?!"

You must know that this technique is his unique secret technique. It is a nature transformation developed with a very deep understanding of water release. No one else in the entire Hidden Mist Village can master it. But now—how could this white-haired brat in front of him use it?

Could it be that Konoha once developed a similar secret technique?

Is it related to that white-haired Hokage who is skilled in Water Release?

Or is it that—

Was it copied from him by this white-haired brat? When? I didn't see this brat have Sharingan!

Countless questions flooded Yagura's mind, leaving him in a state of utter confusion.

But at this point, he had no choice but to stop his charge. After defeating four Kamaitachi in succession, he then began to fight his own clone.

Strictly speaking, the clone created by Mikami Yu is much weaker than Yagura himself. After all, his "Water Mirror Technique" was only NTR'd from Yagura Karatachi a moment ago, and from the perspective of Kagagi, it has not yet completed the "corruption" process—so its affinity and proficiency are still limited.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as it can stop Yagura for a while, that's fine.

Even if he couldn't stop them, Mikami Yu wasn't the kind of fragile person who would be instantly killed if someone got close, so he naturally had other ways to deal with the opponent.

after that.

Yu Mikami pressed one hand to the ground and summoned a slug.

To maintain control over the Six-Tails, he needs to stay here temporarily and cannot move around freely. Therefore, he can only ask Slug to go to Scorched Flower Town to check on the Konoha ninjas and help them recover from their injuries and chakra.

The latter quickly understood, splitting into twenty or thirty small individuals on the spot, and swiftly crawled towards the stronghold, then climbed up the trouser legs of the Konoha ninjas one by one.

Thanks to the successive outbursts from Shisui and Kakashi, the fierce offensive from Kirigakure has been largely contained.

Now, with the slugs possessing them, many Konoha ninjas who had fought hard for a long time and whose injuries and stamina were almost at their limit have regained their vitality. Although they won't immediately have their health and mana bars fully restored, they can still raise their hands to release one or two ninjutsu, or swing kunai and fight the Mist Ninja a few more times.

Soon enough, the balance of power on the battlefield shifted.

The fog-covered forces began to retreat steadily.

Yagura, a man named Kajitachibana, witnessed all of this and was extremely anxious.

"hateful----"

"With such a huge advantage, they should have wiped out Konoha's stronghold in one fell swoop and completely shattered the Land of Fire's southeastern defense line, but this brat managed to—he deserves to die!"

In the current situation, even if Yagura wanted to retreat with his men, it would be a bit of a hassle. After all, the Six-Tails is still being suppressed by Yu Mikami. If he can't get the Six-Tails back from the enemy, then even if he wipes out all the Konoha ninjas in the Shokuhana Town base, this battle will still be a crushing defeat.

We can't win if we fight.

We must not retreat.

Yagura is caught in a dilemma, as it seems that no matter what he chooses, it will be the wrong choice.

Just then—

"Quack!"

A sharp bird cry pierced the night sky.

Yagura was slightly taken aback and did not react immediately.

But Yu Mikami's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the night sky.

High in the sky, a giant bird, its entire body a deep blue with only its beak golden, spread its wings and swiftly flew in from afar.

Its size was so enormous that when its wings were spread, it was already more than thirty meters long, and its shadow briefly blocked out the moonlight.

Even a giant eagle with a wingspan of over twenty meters looked a size or two smaller in front of him.

"That is—"

Mikami Yu's pupils contracted as he recognized the bird's species as a "Yatagara no Otago"!

That's right, this thing is one of the summoning beasts controlled by the black rods of the Six Paths of Pain. It was once summoned by the Loli Path of the Six Paths to deal with Jiraiya and to conquer Konoha.

At this point in time, there's probably only one person who can summon this thing and deploy it on this battlefield: Yixian.

The Yatagarasu flew past the giant eagle.

In the blink of an eye, the giant eagle, as if its wings had been broken, let out a sharp cry, and then its massive body tumbled through the air before plummeting straight to the ground!

"!"

Mikami Yu's heart tightened. The "Water Barrier" seemed to sense his thoughts and immediately activated on its own, transforming into a surging force.

The waves surged towards the direction the giant eagle had fallen, catching it. With this cushioning effect, the giant eagle landed relatively smoothly.

but----

Of the three people on the giant eagle's back, only two remain.

Uchiha Inahi and Uchiha Tetsuka lay there unconscious.

Nohara Rin had already disappeared.

Mikami Yu confirmed something out of the corner of his eye, then stared intently at the figure of the Yatagarasu high in the sky. The latter also deliberately hovered in mid-air for a moment, and the person on the bird's back turned his head to look at Mikami Yu from a distance of hundreds of meters in the night.

It was a slender person wearing a mask from the Hidden Mist Anbu.

Although the mask covered his eyes, making it impossible to see if there were any black magatama inside, Yu Mikami could sense that the gaze was cold and indifferent, like a human looking down on an ant, with a sense of arrogance.

It's him!

it's him!

A certain name surfaced in Yu Mikami's mind, almost bursting forth.

It was just a fleeting glance.

Then, the Yatagarasu flapped its huge wings, turned around, and flew swiftly towards the southeast, instantly turning into a blurry black dot.

"Uchiha Madara————"

Yu Mikami murmured the name, his gaze turning completely somber.

He had long been on guard against Madara's attack and had made numerous preparations, such as taking Nohara Rin with him when going out on missions instead of leaving her with Obito; and during the previous battle, leaving her on the back of a giant eagle.

They thought the sky was the safest place, where no one could touch them, but they never expected that Madara would appear at this time and in this way, defeating the giant eagle with a single glance and snatching Nohara Rin from the sky.

Currently, the giant eagle has not yet shaken off the illusion and is in a dazed state, making it difficult for it to take off again in the short term.

While Mikami Yu possesses the "Transformation Technique: Lifelike," allowing him to transform himself into a hawk to pursue prey, his flight speed might not match that of the Yatagarasu. Moreover, even if he did catch up, he would likely struggle to overcome Madara Uchiha.

but----

From another perspective, since Madara Uchiha did not kill Rin directly, but only captured her, it means that Madara's intention was not simply to kill her.

He most likely still wants to implement the "Three-Tail Plan" from the original storyline!

If that's the case, then Lin should be out of immediate danger. There's still time to think about and develop a rescue plan.

Yu Mikami took a deep breath to calm himself down and sensed Rin Nohara's location. Previously, Yu Mikami had planted a "Seed of Life" on Rin Nohara. In addition to healing injuries, this thing had an additional function: it allowed Yu Mikami to sense the approximate location and life status of the person who had been planted. It was like a not-so-precise locator.

With this, locating Lin's whereabouts is not difficult.

Even if Madara really intended to carry out the "Three-Tails Plan," he would most likely have deliberately leaked Nohara Rin's whereabouts to lure Mikami Yu to rescue her.

so----

All we can do right now is wait and try to deal with the mess in front of us.

"call----"

With a breath of stale air, Mikami Yu formed the hand seals for Shadow Clone Jutsu, splitting his chakra in two once more, instructing it to maintain its effect against the Six-Tails for the time being.

He suppressed the opponent to prevent them from breaking free, while his true form drew the "Thor's Sword" from his back and looked at Yagura Karatachi.

The sword hummed, and lightning flashed again.

It's time to settle this score between Kirigakure and Konoha.

At the same time.

High in the sky.

Madara Uchiha sat cross-legged on the broad back of the Yatagarasu, tossing his white Kirigakure ANBU mask aside. He glanced at the unconscious Rin Nohara and sneered, "These juniors from Kirigakure are truly incompetent."

"They can't even complete such a simple task, and they actually want me to come out of retirement personally—ha, how ridiculous."

Fortunately, Madara Uchiha was somewhat prepared for this possibility.

Therefore, he had prepared a disguise for himself as a "secret ANBU directly under the Mizukage," and when he made his move, he deliberately did not use any Sharingan ocular techniques, only using regular genjutsu. In this way, no one should be able to detect his true identity.

After all, in the eyes of the world, "Ninja World Asura" Uchiha Madara was already dead.

After a brief silence.

Madara Uchiha sighed: "That's good. Although there were some mishaps, the plan is generally progressing according to my vision."

"Next, all we need to do is seal the Three-Tails inside this girl, and then at the right time, send this message to Konoha to lure Mikami Yu and Obito to come and rescue her, and then deliberately let Nohara Rin go."

At that time, their companions will turn against each other, and the Three-Tails will go berserk.

Listen to it, how pleasant it is.

It's likely that Obito will witness his beloved die at the hands of his comrade, experiencing boundless despair and pain, which will then drive him to dedicate himself to his grand "Eye of the Moon Plan"—

Madara Uchiha mentally rehearsed his plan, feeling confident and assured that there wouldn't be any problems.

He even admired himself a little, feeling that if he had possessed such wisdom back then, he would have been able to suppress that white-haired guy and become the second Hokage of Konoha.

"Hmph, that wretched Tobirama—"

Madara cursed Tobirama Senju in his mind for the nth time, then opened his eyes and watched the Yatagarasu fly across the sea toward the secret base that had been prepared in advance to seal the Three-Tails.

The night wind howled, and the chill was biting.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Yagura quickly formed hand seals, and a water dragon rose from the ground, roaring as it pounced on Yu Mikami.

But with a casual wave of his hand, another dragon-shaped form, entirely constructed of flames, appeared: "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

The fiery dragon and the water dragon collided, evaporating into a sky full of white mist. Then, Yu Mikami, wielding a longsword, stepped through the thick white mist and appeared before Yagura Karatachi, engaging him in battle.

For Wuyin, the current situation is completely out of control.

The Six-Tails was suppressed: a group of elite Jonin, including Kushimaru Kurihara, Jinpachi Munashi, and Erin Tokusano, all died in battle; the siege plan against Shoka Town also failed due to Shisui's sudden power-up — all plans were essentially ruined.

The only good news was that the figure riding the Yatagarasu had abducted Nohara Rin. Judging from the situation, it seemed they were indeed helping.

but----

Why did you capture Nohara Rin? Couldn't you have come down and helped take down Mikami Yu and the others? Or at least capture Kakashi or...

What's the point of stopping the water and arresting that girl?!

Yagura was speechless.

But he knew very well that he should leave.

Otherwise, if we wait any longer, not only will we not be able to rescue the Six-Tails, but he and all the other Mist Ninja will likely die here!

"You think you can just leave after offending Konoha?"

Mikami Yu's voice sounded coldly behind him.

Yagura whirled around and saw a bolt of lightning tear through the air, hurtling straight toward his face!

clang!

Yagura hastily raised his club to parry, but because the attack was sudden and he was caught off guard, the clang of metal against metal sent him sliding backward seven or eight meters, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

Before he could even consider whether to turn around and run away, he felt a flash of light behind him and immediately lunged forward, narrowly avoiding a slash from the "Sword of Thor".

brush!

The blade of Thor's sword grazed his back, leaving a trail of blood.

"What a fast sword!"

Yagura was horrified.

Next, accompanied by clanging sounds, Mikami Yu's attacks became extremely fierce. Apart from his limited strength, which prevented him from using his full power due to his chakra, his speed and technique were top-notch. Yagura Karatachi tried his best but still couldn't defeat him, and instead began to find himself in grave danger.

finally----

Yagura gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes. Taking advantage of the momentum from their clash, he leaped backward, then rapidly formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Flicker Body!"
