Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Yu Mikami had considered another way of playing.

That is to replace dialogue and practice with the method of giving gifts.

but……

"Water Clone" can be given to the Clone Technique because they are from the same lineage; but "Eight Gates"... should we give "Physical Animation" instead? Or should we go to Might Guy and ask for a few of the Might family's heirloom green bodysuits to see if this "beautiful girl" will like them?

Speaking of which, the material of that green outfit is actually quite good. Even with Matt and his son training like that every day, it hasn't worn out much. It's also absorbent. Even if you can't give it away, you can use it as a rag at home...

"It's almost lunchtime..."

"knock off!"

As the sun began to set, Mikami stretched and leisurely went home for dinner.

at this time.

In several other places in Konoha Village.

Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Hinata Hyuga, Asuma Sarutobi... most of this year's ninja students are preparing for the upcoming graduation season, working hard from dawn till dusk every day to train in various basic ninjutsu and taijutsu.

Unlike Yu Mikami, they all usually have an elder family member as their sparring partner, either their father or their older brother.

Even a white-haired boy who had just returned from outside the village and was being ostracized by his teammates washed his face and began to quietly practice his family's traditional swordsmanship in his own yard...

……

Two or three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Winter break has come to an end before we even realized it.

In late January, Konoha was blanketed in a heavy snowfall.

When the snow stopped, many children ran out excitedly to build snowmen and have snowball fights in the streets and alleys, filling the air with laughter; adults also put on their brand-new winter clothes, their faces showing their anticipation for the new year.

However, most of the ninjas wearing dark green vests, moving high and low on the rooftops, had serious expressions. More and more of them were wounded and wrapped in bandages, and words like "casualties," "supplies," and "war" began to circulate in the wind.

Some astute individuals have already sensed the shift in the wind.

However, because Konoha has not yet officially entered a state of war preparedness, and the last war has only just ended, leaving behind too many painful memories, most people do not dare to say anything in public. They are just being more cautious in secret, preparing for the possible new war.

The prices of explosive tags and kunai in the ninja tool shop have quietly increased, while orders for soldier pills have surged daily.

but,

These situations are currently unrelated to the students of the Ninja Academy.

As the new semester begins, students who have been away for a winter break return to the classroom one after another. Acquaintances gather in twos and threes to chat about what has happened during this time.

Just as Mikami Yu sat down, he saw a man with cataracts walk over and stand next to him.

"Mikami-kun, it's been a long time."

Hinata Hinata, with a serious expression, said, "This winter break, I had my older brother Hizashi from the clan help me with special training. I'm not the same person I used to be. I'll definitely win this graduation exam, just like I did last time!"

"……oh."

Yuko Mikami said, "Just do your best, why are you telling me this?"

However, all the kids at the Ninja Academy are like that. Might Guy and Obito always talk about challenging Kakashi. They said it to Kakashi's face when he was still alive, and they say it behind his back now that he's gone.

So, Mikami Yu nodded politely: "I look forward to your performance."

Alright, go have some fun.

Hyuga Himon turned and walked away.

After a while,

Kurenai Yuhi arrived at the classroom and placed a homemade bento box on Yu Mikami's desk as she passed his seat: "Um, Mikami-kun, I don't know if you've eaten breakfast yet, so I brought an extra one with me. If you don't mind, consider it a thank you gift from a while ago."

"...Huh?"

Ebisu, who was not far away, pricked up his ears, wanting to hear some gossip.

Wait, what does that mean? Wasn't it only Asuma who could eat the breakfast that Kurenai Yuhi sent?

Could it be that……

"Thanks, I'm actually a little hungry."

Mikami Yu smiled and thanked him.

His appetite has indeed increased.

After all, he had to practice every day during this period, repeatedly depleting his chakra. Although chakra and stamina are not entirely equivalent, he was bound to get hungry easily. Therefore, Mikami Yu usually carried bread and chocolate in his pocket. It would be nice to have a snack occasionally.

Nohara Rin glanced in this direction, and only looked away after Yuhi Kurenai left, without saying anything.

The school bell rang.

Oki-sensei and Obito Uchiha entered the classroom one after the other.

Mr. Oki originally wanted to scold him, but considering it was the first day of the new semester and Obito wasn't too late, he waved his hand and let him in.

"Ahem, hello everyone. I hope you all had a good winter break?"

"But from now on, we need to get serious, because graduation exams are just around the corner..."

The graduation exam at the Ninja Academy is a major undertaking.

It involves many disciplines.

The academic subjects alone include Chinese, mathematics, geography, and information translation, with a difficulty level roughly equivalent to the middle school entrance examination in modern society.

Although Konoha did not place much emphasis on education at this time and did not have high requirements for the students' academic level, they still had to know some basic things. Otherwise, if they went out to carry out missions, they would not be able to make battle plans or write mission reports, which would be a waste.

Therefore,

Take advantage of the week or so of free time after school starts.

Teachers like Oki and Himura led everyone in reviewing and preparing for the exam every day. Every morning they would read books and memorize questions, and in the afternoon they would go out for training, sparring with each other. The schedule was quite tight.

During this process, quite a few students displayed a completely different demeanor than before the winter break, eliciting quiet gasps from the surrounding children.

"Wow, Nara-kun has improved so much!"

"Is Hyuga Hido cheating? He's that strong?"

"I feel... I'm still not as good as Asuma."

"Hong's physical skills have improved a lot too. She's like a completely different person from last semester."

"By the way, I ran into Kakashi on the street yesterday! I heard he came back from a mission, and he's still as handsome as ever, but his aura is even more aloof. He's so charming!"

"Really? Really?"

The moment the topic of Kakashi came up, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Obito and Might Guy both jumped up and asked the girl who had spoken for details.

Only Mikami Yu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed to the side, recovering his chakra while quietly playing with the Gakkaki in his mind.
