Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Yu Mikami and Might Guy actually knew each other a long time ago.

After all, the latter runs around Konoha Village dozens of times every day and often does tasks like catching cats and dogs. He randomly appears in various streets and alleys of Konoha. As long as you don't stay at home all the time, you're bound to see him.

Might Guy is the kind of person who is rather rough around the edges and also lacks recognition. In theory, as long as you chat with him more often, increase his favorability, and occasionally give him gifts... no, I mean train together and show enthusiasm for taijutsu, you will have the opportunity to get his guidance and learn the Eight Gates from him.

Yu Mikami had indeed made attempts in this area before.

but……

In the end, however, they suffered a crushing defeat.

It's not that Matt Daly refused to teach.

Rather, the threshold for mastering the Eight Gates is simply too high. According to Might Guy, to even begin to understand this forbidden technique, one must be able to run around Konoha Village at least 10 times in one go. And if one wants to go further and open more than three gates, the standard is even higher.

Might Guy has dedicated himself to training for two or three decades to achieve his current success, but due to improper care, he has developed a number of hidden injuries and occasionally feels unwell.

However, his assessment of the physical requirements for opening each of the Eight Gates should be accurate.

Might Guy has now mastered the Eight Gates, but he hasn't used it in the actual combat exam at the Ninja Academy yet.

As for Mikami Yu...

He's already 8 years old, but he still doesn't reach the daily training intensity that Might Guy had when he was 6, so he's never had the chance to learn the Eight Gates.

But now, with the Corner System, things are different. After finishing these last two days, Mikami Yu is thinking of going to see Might Guy again to see if he is qualified to practice the Eight Gates.

After saying goodbye to the two teachers, Yu Mikami left the school building, preparing to go home. But at the school gate, he saw several familiar figures.

"Hey, Lin, you guys are still here?"

Yu Mikami stopped in his tracks.

There were three people waiting at the school gate. Nohara Rin was one of them, and there were two other loud and boisterous figures next to her, who were clearly Obito and Might Guy.

Obito seems to be very dissatisfied with his loss to Might Guy in the ring and is challenging Guy to a fight.

"Yu-kun, you're out?"

Nohara Rin also saw Mikami Yu and smiled slightly: "We all came together this morning, so of course we'll go home together. It's only a few minutes late anyway. As for Kai-kun..."

"Yu! You're too late! I've been waiting impatiently! Let me see your youthful energy!"

Matt Kai jumped out immediately, gave a thumbs up, and flashed his teeth.

what?

For a challenge like this, shouldn't you go to Kakashi? Why are you asking me?

There are cows here too?

Yu Mikami said with a hint of helplessness, "Kai, it's too late today, and everyone is exhausted from the tests. It's not suitable for another fight... How about we change the competition format?"

"What do you mean?"

Matt Kai was puzzled.

"How about this, let's go to Ichiraku Ramen, each of us order a bowl of ramen, and see who can eat the fastest. The loser treats the other person, how about it?"

"Huh?"

Matt Kai paused for a moment, then nodded: "Although this competition sounds a bit strange, it seems like it's okay?"

Rin and Obito exchanged a glance, and Rin said softly, "Can I come along too? It's been so long since I've had Ichiraku Ramen. I wonder if Uncle Teuchi has come up with any new flavors."

Since Rin is going, Obito is naturally the best choice; he's a professional in the "protector of flowers" profession.

then,

Yu Mikami could only take his three children with him to the company he had once dreamed of working for—Ichiraku Ramen.

As the most famous ramen restaurant in Konoha Village, Ichiraku Ramen is actually not very big, and the seating area is just a long strip. However, it can easily accommodate four eight- or nine-year-old children.

Yu Mikami ordered a bowl of tonkotsu ramen, while Might Guy ordered a special char siu.

then……

Yu had barely taken a couple of bites when Might Guy finished the last bit of noodle soup in his bowl, then gave him a thumbs up: "Yu, it seems like I won this time!"

Congratulations!

Yu Mikami pulled out a banknote and pushed it over: "This bowl is on me. If you order any more, you pay for it yourself."

—Although he didn't know if Might Guy's appetite could match Hinata's, he knew that given the latter's level of physical activity, he must eat more than him. That's why he only competed in eating speed, not in who ate more, so that he would only lose the price of a bowl of noodles at most.

Kai was just used to being careless and didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it.

About half an hour later.

After filling their stomachs, the four got up and went home.

Might Guy's house wasn't in the same place as Mikami Yu and the others, so they parted ways halfway through the journey.

The Obito family isn't actually there either.

But he insisted on being her protector, citing "it's not safe to walk at night," and escorted Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin to their doorstep, still somewhat reluctant to part.

"Alright, Obito-kun, Yu and I are home now. It's getting late, you should go home too, don't worry Grandma Kyoka."

Nohara Rin advised.

"Okay, I'll come find you again tomorrow..."

Obito was reluctant to leave.

"Tomorrow might not be possible."

"Um?"

He was met with Obito's questioning gaze.

Nohara Rin glanced at Mikami Yu and explained, "I made plans with Yu-kun to go to Konoha Hospital together tomorrow..."

"?!"

Hearing this, Obito immediately perked up, his eyes widening like saucers, and asked incredulously, "What? You made a promise? Where are you going? The hospital... Why are you going to the hospital? Could it be...?"

For some unknown reason, Obito secretly glanced at Rin's stomach.

"?"

Yu Mikami paused for a moment, thinking to himself that children in the ninja world couldn't be this precocious.

Rin, standing nearby, didn't think too much of it and continued in a soft voice, "It's not a doctor's visit, it's a lecture. Yuu-kun and I enrolled in the Konoha Hospital's medical training course through Professor Oki, and we'll be going every weekend starting this week, so we won't be able to play with you anymore."

"Oh, it's just a training course. I thought it was..."

Obito breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately raised his hand: "I want to go too!"

"Um?"

"Rin, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite interested in medical ninjutsu! After all, I'm going to be Hokage someday, how can I not know how to save lives? That training course shouldn't have a limit on the number of students, right? Even if it does, it's fine, I can just stand and listen from the back..."

"You agree, right, Yu-kun?"

Obito puffed out his chest, patted it hard, and then glanced at Mikami Yu with a wink.

Nohara Rin also cast an inquiring glance at him.

Mikami Yu shrugged: "I don't care."
