Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Konoha 45, winter.

sunset.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the Konoha Ninja Academy's training ground, turning the rolling sweat golden.

"Huff...huff...Kai, I can't take it anymore..."

The handsome young man with white hair spoke breathlessly.

"Hang in there a little longer, Yu! It's always like this the first time, but if you just keep going, you'll experience an even more wonderful feeling..."

"That's the feeling of youth! We're about to finish our 200th lap!"

With a watermelon-shaped haircut and dressed like a green frog, Matt Kai ran while turning his head and giving a thumbs-up, his snow-white front teeth gleaming in the sunlight.

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking...

The white-haired boy fell to the ground with a thud, but luckily he managed to brush off the fall with his arm and avoid hitting his face. "I... I'll sit here for a while... Kai, you keep running, don't worry about me."

"……Oh well!"

Matt Kai didn't think much of it.

After all, in his view, no matter how bad a person's physical condition is, they can't just collapse from exhaustion after running 200 laps around the track, right?

"I'll come back to you after I finish the remaining 800 laps!"

……

Watching Matt Kai's departing figure,

Mikami let out a long sigh.

It's been eight years since I was reborn into the Naruto world.

In those early years, Mikami Yuu dreamed of making a name for himself in the world with his extraordinary wisdom and unparalleled talent. He envisioned punching Madara Uchiha, kicking Black Zetsu Obito, and spearing Kaguya Otsutsuki…

However, as time went on, especially after entering the ninja academy...

Mikami Yuzai had to face a fact:

He was just an ordinary person.

As everyone knows, in the ninja world, you need power, background, and most importantly, bloodline.

Yu Mikami is an ordinary citizen.

Although his experience of living two lives made him more calm and composed than his peers, and from the age of three or four, he had developed a series of exercise and diet plans for himself, drinking a glass of warm milk and doing 20 minutes of stretching exercises every night before bed; after starting school, he studied as hard as he had in his previous life when he took the college entrance exam...

But all of this only allowed him to excel in his academic subjects.

As for practical lessons...

Mikami Yu's ninjutsu performance was not ideal, barely ranking in the middle.

In peacetime

He might still have a chance to work hard and reach the genin standard by the time he graduates at age twelve, accumulate a few years of experience, apply to return to the school as a teacher, wait for Naruto's class to enroll, try to replace Iruka, and then cultivate some goodwill with Naruto, wait until the latter graduates, and then he can finally relax.

If everything goes smoothly, when the seventh generation gets married several years later, they will have to invite him, "Teacher Mikami," to say a few words on stage.

pity……

Yu Mikami was born a little too early.

The current Konoha Ninja Academy still operates under a wartime system, with students typically entering at age 4 and graduating at age 8 or 9. Among those who entered in the same year as Mikami Yu were Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, Might Guy, Nohara Rin, Sarutobi Asuma… truly a multitude of exceptional individuals.

Among this group, the most talented one, the white-haired one, graduated in his second year of school, became a Chunin in his third year, and now spends most of his time on missions outside the village.

And the one that's the furthest...

Everyone says that Obito is the worst student.

Little did people know that in the real Naruto world, children like Yu Mikami, who came from humble backgrounds, were at the very bottom of society.

They have some kind of cheat code, so it doesn't matter if their early development is a bit slow. And to be honest, it's not that much slower. They're just not very bright and can't unleash their full potential.

As for Mikami Yu, under normal circumstances, he could only lie under the big truck that is Konoha, acting as a speed bump—

The Naruto world at this time was not peaceful, with constant conflicts between various ninja villages. The Third Shinobi World War was only a year or two away from breaking out, at which point even newly graduated genin would be sent to the battlefield.

If they're lucky, they might survive the war with minor injuries.

If I'm unlucky, I might get to enroll with Naruto and Sasuke...

"As a transmigrator, already eight years old, and yet I don't even have a cheat code... Is that reasonable?"

Yu Mikami is feeling very uncomfortable.

He has already made up his mind.

The end of this month is the final exam for this semester at the Ninja Academy, and also the last major exam before graduation next February. If his practical training is still like this by then, he'll find an excuse to drop out and apply for a job at Ichiraku Ramen as a noodle-pulling chef.

—This is the safest solution that Mikami Yu could think of.

There's nothing wrong with a powerful ninja experiencing the scenery from higher vantage points in this world.

But with the wrist strength I've honed over the years, becoming a noodle-pulling master will open up even greater possibilities for the future.

Besides, Uncle Ichiraku's daughter is quite pretty. With my handsome looks, I could reluctantly marry into her family and change my surname to Otsutsuki Yuu. That wouldn't be a bad thing...

[Ding! System binding successful!]

A line of text floated past my eyes.

"Huh???"

Mikami Yu suddenly realized: What's going on? He really does have a cheat code? It took a full eight years to load and arrive??

[System initialization complete, core modules loading...]

This system is a [Ninja World Galgame System] designed to help the host establish bonds with suitable beautiful girl characters, enjoy sweet romance, obtain generous rewards, and reach the pinnacle of life.

"Holy crap!"

Mikami Yu's eyes lit up, as if he had been given a chance to escape a desperate situation:

coming!

His golden touch!

Although the name of this system sounds a bit strange, it's still a cheat.

Considering this period, there were quite a few characters in the ninja world who could be considered "beautiful girls." Among his peers were Rin Nohara, Kurenai Yuhi, and Mei Terumi; among those older was Tsunade; and even Kushina Uzumaki and Mikoto Uchiha were not yet married at this time...

Dominating the ninja world, surrounded by beauties on both sides—a magnificent blueprint seems to be slowly unfolding!

however--

[Core module loading complete]

[The following has been scanned and loaded: the beautiful girl characters currently being encountered by the host, possessing transformation, clone, and substitution abilities. Enjoy your adventure!]

"what?"

The smile on Mikami Yu's face froze.

Wait, wait a minute?

What kind of strategy is this?

Three-Body Technique? ???

Clinging to the last glimmer of hope, Yu Mikami silently recited in his mind: "Open the system main interface."

As soon as he finished speaking, a UI with the style of a Japanese visual novel unfolded before Mikami Yu's eyes like a halo. In the center of the soft background image, there were three chibi-style ninja icons, with their names and affection levels marked next to them.

[Currently available targets]

[Transformation Technique (Current Affection Level: 10/100 - Strangers)]

【Clone Technique (Current Affection Level: 5/100 - Strangers)】

【Substitute Technique (Current Affection Level: 5/100 - Unfamiliar)】

Yu Mikami clicked on the [Transformation Technique] icon.

The interface switches, and on the left is still the same chibi-style avatar icon, vaguely resembling a beautiful black-haired girl with a slightly mischievous smile; on the right is a detailed status bar and several protruding option buttons:

[Target selected: Transformation Technique]

[Dialogue], [Practice], [Gift Giving (Insufficient Affection Level, Not Yet Unlocked)], [Leave]

Yu Mikami chooses to [Dialogue].

[In the evening, you bump into Transformation, who is taking a walk on the school playground. Transformation seems happy to see you and waves to you from afar, joking around.]

[Transformation: Eh~ It's you, Misaka! Who are you going to become today? Last time you tried to become Ooki-sensei, you walked with your arms and legs moving in unison, and everyone laughed at you for ages! (￣▽￣*)~]

Three options appeared below:

[A: I'm sorry, I was too clumsy last time. I'll definitely try harder this time.]

B: That was just to make everyone happy!

C: (Silence, simply looking intently at her)

"..."

Yu Mikami's lips twitched; he was utterly speechless.

Not a buddy...

You really are a real backwater!

Talking to ninjas, giving them gifts, increasing their favorability... Is this something a human could do?

Forget it, it's just a stupid system anyway, might as well pretend it doesn't exist...

[Note: The host's words and actions determine the favorability rating of the target. Each time the favorability rating reaches a certain level, the host's own attributes will be slightly enhanced, and there is a chance to obtain special rewards related to the target.]

Choose A.

Yu Mikami said this.

If there's a reward, then what more is there to say?
