Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

If you can specify a ninjutsu and enable the automatic triggering function...

Then Yu Mikami will definitely choose "Substitute Technique".

After all, while the 0.2-second casting time is short, it's not truly instantaneous. Enemies with fast enough reflexes have a chance to detect and interrupt it. Furthermore, the Substitution Jutsu is highly dependent on the user's condition; it cannot be activated if the user is under control or if there is a wall blocking the way.

This is also the most fundamental difference between the Substitution Technique and space-time ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique and Amenotejikara.

If the Substitution Jutsu could make someone sit on it and move on their own...

That would be convenient.

It seems the GaLa system has some undisclosed hidden functions that await development and exploration. Once I'm done with this busy period, I can take a closer look.

As for now...

Yu Mikami just wanted to go home quickly, take a shower, and then lie down in bed for a nap.

"Uncle Dai, let's stop practicing here for today."

Yu Mikami rubbed his aching temples and began to speak.

He was truly drained of every last drop of chakra by the "Eight Gates Formation." Although the "Healing Technique" healed him, the chakra he had previously consumed was not fully restored, only returning to about 30-40% of his peak level.

Might Guy and Might Guy weren't just mindless cultivators; they knew that Mikami Yu was trying a forbidden technique for the first time and couldn't rush things. So, after he rested for a while, they packed up and ended their training session.

It was already getting dark.

The three of them, each dragging their exhausted bodies, embarked on their journey home amidst Might Guy's slightly hoarse shout of "The burning youth never ends!"

Needless to say, the rest and meals after returning home are also a given.

After finishing her meal, Mikami Aoi took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash them.

Meanwhile, Yu Mikami took a thorough bath, then took out the ointment from the Nara family and applied it to all her joints. She then did two sets of the flexibility exercises taught by Pharmacist Nono in her bedroom and drank some freshly warmed milk.

During this process,

He also tried to massage himself with the "healing technique," but he couldn't recreate the silky warm feeling that the "original" healer had shown him before. He could only conclude that he wasn't skilled enough and didn't understand healing techniques as well as the healing technique itself.

I still need to practice more.

Considering the unique nature of healing techniques, perhaps we could slightly adjust the priority of mastering this ninjutsu, placing it before Great Fireball and Water Wave...

"Goodnight, Three Bodies Technique, and everyone else..."

……

"Minato, you're back."

It was early morning.

The location is the Hokage Building, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage, sat at his desk, reviewing mission reports.

Opposite him stood Minato, a young man not yet twenty, with a respectful demeanor. Beside him were Akimichi Doto of the Akimichi clan and Inuzuka Gaku of the Inuzuka clan. All three looked travel-worn, clearly having been away for a long time.

"As expected, the Hidden Cloud Village is already making preparations for war. With such a large amount of supplies, their ambitions are probably quite significant... A storm is brewing."

"Minato, Toudou, and Aja, thank you for your hard work on this mission."

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally finished reading the report, looked up, and said casually, "Now that the mission is complete, let's take a good rest. I'll discuss this information with the advisory group."

"Yes, Lord Sandai."

Seeing that Minato Namikaze and the others had agreed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then said, "Minato, stay behind for a moment, I have something to tell you."

"Yes."

Minato Namikaze nodded to his two teammates and then stayed where he was.

After the door was closed, Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "Minato, do you remember what I told you about being the Jonin leader?"

"...Oh right, it seems the ninja academy is approaching graduation season. Please rest assured, Third Hokage, I will fulfill my responsibilities as a teacher and guide these children well."

Minato Namikaze understood and immediately made a guarantee.

Actually, leading a team of Jonin is not a good job.

Taking care of children is a very troublesome thing, which will seriously hinder one's own efficiency. Many difficult tasks cannot be taken on casually. If something happens to the children in the class, one will also have to take responsibility. Therefore, many experienced Jonin do not want to do it.

However, if the Hokage personally selects them, that's a different story.

Especially since Minato Namikaze was Hiruzen Sarutobi's grand-disciple and aspired to be the next Hokage, this responsibility was one he had to shoulder.

but……

Hiruzen Sarutobi had more to say than just this:

"Don't rush into leading a team of Jonin; we'll assign that after the graduation results are released."

"However, among this batch of ninja academy graduates, there is a rather special individual. Like you, he comes from a commoner background with a clean family history, but he has a unique understanding of the Three Body Technique and has developed an improved version of the 'Substitution Technique'... I tried to reproduce this technique, but I was unsuccessful."

"Oh?"

Minato Namikaze's eyelids twitched, and he said in surprise, "An improved substitution jutsu that even you, Hokage-sama, couldn't replicate? Could it be that it incorporates changes in the nature of space and time? But..."

But how could such a technique come from the hands of a ninja student?

It's impossible just thinking about it.

"That's the problem."

Hiruzen Sarutobi lit his pipe and took a puff: "The teachers at the Ninja Academy suspect that this child has the potential to learn space-time ninjutsu. A few days ago, Hizashi from the Hyuga clan had a private match with him, which I happened to see. I felt that his technique was indeed somewhat special."

"Therefore, I would like to ask you, an expert in space-time ninjutsu, to take a look. If there is indeed another person who can master Tobirama-sensei's technique, it would be a great benefit to Konoha."

"...I understand. I will complete the mission."

Minato Namikaze became serious and made a solemn promise.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, his tone becoming more casual: "It's just to confirm, no need to be so nervous. Think about how to confirm it when you get back, and I'll have the Ninja Academy cooperate with you."

"it is good."

Minato Namikaze said.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I'd like to hear your opinion on, Minato."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, "Kakashi, that kid, has gotten another complaint from his teammates lately..."

……

Minato Namikaze's return did not cause much of a stir in Konoha.

After all, the Fourth Hokage in the original story has not yet received the title of "Yellow Flash," and his fame among most ordinary people is far less than that of the Legendary Sannin and the White Fang who has already committed suicide.

The intelligence regarding the preparation of military funds by the Hidden Cloud Village is top secret and cannot be disclosed to the outside world.

but……

Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin, who frequently visited Konoha Hospital, had already sensed something unusual.
