Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 109 An Unexpected Attack, A Sword Technique Descending from the Sky! (Third Update)

Upon hearing Kakashi's warning, Mikami Yu immediately pulled his attention away from the corner system, released two water clones, used his vision-sharing ability to see in all directions, and then gripped the hilt of the sword behind his back.

Nohara Rin also reached for the ninja tool pouch at her waist.

After the group set up a defensive formation.

A strange noise came from the nearby mountains and forests, and then a small team of four people came out.

Three men and one woman.

The girl was a fair-skinned girl with short orange hair. When Mikami Yu first saw her, she seemed somewhat familiar, but because she was wearing a Konoha headband and had many blood-soaked bandages wrapped around her face and body, he couldn't immediately figure out why she looked familiar.

There were three people next to him: one was a black spiky man who looked a bit like Obito, one was a skinny man wearing a black cloak, and the other was a bald man.

These people were all wearing headbands with the Konoha insignia, looking like they had just been through a fierce battle. Among them, the orange-haired girl and the bald man had the most obvious injuries; even though they were bandaged, their wounds were still bleeding slightly.

"Wow, what great luck! I never expected to run into my comrades here! Whose men are you?"

The man with the black spiky hair asked the question.

Kakashi frowned slightly, not responding but remaining vigilant: "That's a question we should be asking. I know all the patrol units around here, and I've never seen you before. Where did you come from?"

"We've come from the Oborozuki Castle base. We have important intelligence about Sunagakure to report to Lord Jiraiya at the Wildfire Castle base. We ask for your cooperation," said the man with the black spiky hair.

"signal."

"Who built this dam? Every single one of them is covered in mud."

"...

The code is correct.

Kakashi asked a few more questions about the situation at Oborozuki Castle, and seeing that they answered fluently, he felt slightly relieved: "Your injuries seem to be quite serious. Do you need any help treating them? I have some medical ninjas here."

""

"Is that alright? Thank you very much."

The orange-haired girl looked delighted.

At this moment, Nohara Rin took two steps forward, looked at the two wounded, and said softly, "Were you injured in the battle with Sunagakure? Please sit down, Yu and I will treat you right away."

Mikami Yu didn't move, but he vaguely sensed something was wrong.

This feeling reached its peak when he saw the orange-haired girl untie the bandage around her waist, seemingly asking Nohara Rin to help treat her with medical ninjutsu!

"Lin! Don't come any closer!"

Mikami Yu suddenly spoke.

Hearing his voice, Nohara Rin was slightly startled and turned her head to look at him.

In that very instant.

The cloaked man and the orange-haired girl exchanged a glance, then suddenly flung open their cloaks, revealing a dense array of kunai and shuriken that gleamed in the sunlight. He then hurled them all at them, aiming towards where Nohara Rin was!

"!!"

Nohara Rin reacted quickly as well. The moment she saw that Mikami Yu and Kakashi's eyes were not right, she jumped towards them. At the same time, she grabbed kunai from her ninja tool bag and made a waving and blocking motion in front of her chest, deflecting several kunai.

Ding Ding Ding-!

One by one, kunai and shuriken were knocked down, and the explosive tags attached to them were clearly visible, indicating that it was time to explode!

At a critical moment.

Mikami Yu's figure blurred for a moment, then transformed into Nohara Rin's appearance.

To be more precise —

Mikami Yu's figure disappeared from his original spot and appeared where Nohara Rin was. Then, Nohara Rin's figure appeared in his spot at almost the same time. Because the two scenes switched so quickly that the naked eye could not distinguish them, it looked as if the figures had become blurry.

1. [Substitution Technique: Imitation World Instant Cast]!

next second.

A deafening explosion, accompanied by a scorching shockwave, erupted! Dazzling flames shot into the sky, completely engulfing the spot where Mikami Yu had just been standing!

"Yu——!"

Kakashi roared, his usually calm eyes flashing with shock and anger. He tightened his grip on the White Fang short sword and charged towards the exploding sea of ​​fire.

Nohara Rin, having never seen Mikami Yu's "Heavenly Hand Power"—cough, cough, I misspoke—it was "Pseudo-World Instantaneous Strike," which allowed her to directly swap places with someone. After a second of stunned silence, she vaguely realized what was happening, then looked up at the figure engulfed in flames, her pupils widening in shock: "Yu—"

Compared to the two of them, the other side reacted much faster.

"Let's do it!"

With a cold shout, the orange-haired girl and the black-haired girl, like two arrows released from a bow, pounced on Kakashi and Nohara Rin, who were both in shock! Their attacks were fierce and ruthless, aimed directly at vital points.

Kakashi could only suppress his worry for Mikami Yu, and his White Fang short sword flashed with a cold light as it met the orange-haired girl.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening, and an unexpected force emanated from the blade, causing Kakashi's arm to go numb slightly. "Huh?!"

Such incredible power!

On the other side, Nohara Rin also hastily raised her kunai to block the hedgehog-headed man's attack. The immense force caused her to stagger back several steps, her arm feeling sore and numb.

As a female ninja, taijutsu was already Nohara Rin's weakness. Now, facing a Sand Village ninja who was both older and more experienced than her, she immediately fell into a passive position and could only barely parry and defend. Before long, she was in grave danger.

"Haha, die! Die!"

A sinister smile appeared on the hedgehog-haired face, and the attack descended upon Nohara Rin like a storm.

Seeing this, Kakashi wanted to go and help, but the orange-haired girl's attacks became even more ferocious, and her speed was astonishing. Even when Kakashi used his full strength, he was somewhat suppressed by her, let alone being able to break free to help Nohara Rin. This made him extremely anxious!

"This woman—"

Who is it?!

At this age—he's not much older than him, so he can't possibly be a Jonin, right? Among his peers, besides Yu, is there anyone else who can put so much pressure on him in terms of swordsmanship?

Thinking of Yu, Kakashi unconsciously turned his gaze to the dissipating flames and smoke. Rin, too, clenched her teeth, tears welling in her eyes as she looked in the same direction.

By this time, the smoke and dust had slowly dissipated.

The ground, ravaged by the explosive tags, was scorched black and littered with rubble.

However----

The scorched pit was completely empty!

The bald man was taken aback.

The cloaked man seemed to possess some sensory abilities, having already sensed that something was amiss. He was clutching a kunai in one hand, looking around frantically, trying to find Mikami Yu as soon as possible, but at the last moment, he felt a whoosh of wind from above—

"Sizzle—!"

A dazzling blade of light, like lightning tearing through the shadows, appeared in the sky without warning!

Behind the flash of the blade, the figure of a white-haired boy descended from the sky!
