Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

at last……

At some point, I heard—

"Clang!!!"

After the wooden kunai in Mikami Yu's and Asuma's hands collided once more, they both flew out of their hands.

Just as Asuma threw his punch, Mikami Yu activated his Substitution Jutsu, his body vanishing from his spot in a flash and reappearing behind Asuma. He then caught the kunai falling from mid-air and, before Asuma could turn around, precisely positioned it against the back of his neck.

"it's over."

"..."

Asuma instinctively tried to struggle, but quickly realized what was happening, gave a wry smile, and helplessly raised his hands: "Fine. You win."

Asuma actually had some stamina left and could have fought for a little while longer, but there was no need for it.

Because, if the kunai were real, he would be dead by now.

Asma resigned.

Yuya Mikami breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back, lowered his center of gravity slightly, and stood still, feeling a strong sense of exhaustion wash over him.

They really did it!

One against three!

In this battle, he had used every trick in the book. Apart from the characteristics of the Transformation Technique and the Substitution Technique, and the Eight Gates Formation, he had used almost all other methods. Of course, he hadn't planned to use the first two, as he intended to save them as trump cards for the first encounter.

After taking a few deep breaths, Mikami looked up and around.

At this moment,

Most of the students in the arena had already finished their battles.

After all, most ninja trainees of this age rely on taijutsu and the Three Body Techniques to fight, and at most know a little bit of genjutsu. Once they are knocked to the ground, it is basically the end of them.

Only a handful of people were still fighting.

For example, Obito and Might Guy—

These two guys are old rivals. In the midterm and final exams of the past few years, Obito has lost to Guy at least four times. So now that they are enemies, they are extremely hostile. Even though he was beaten black and blue, he got up again and again and continued to fight.

Finally, Obito seized an opportunity, crossed his arms, formed hand seals, and breathed fire at Might Guy:

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!!"

This fireball looks slightly smaller than the one Mikami Yu just released, with a diameter of only about one meter.

Well... after all, Obito's Fireball Jutsu was something he practiced diligently every day. Compared to Mikami Yu's Fireball Jutsu, which was "copied" through the Corner System and was solid and powerful, it seemed somewhat weak and unreliable.

Seeing the blazing flames rushing towards him, Might Guy got carried away and raised his arms to cover his head and face. His body was steaming with pale green chakra, and he smashed the ball of fire away. He then delivered a "Flame Fist" to Obito's face, who was already celebrating his victory!

At this moment, flames were even rising from Matt Kai's hair.

"Kai..."

"Obito, what's going on here...?"

Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai, who were not far away, were stunned.

No, it's just a graduation exam, why are you risking your life like that...

At this critical moment—

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

An even more turbulent torrent of water descended from the sky than when Mikami Yu had used it, extinguishing the blazing flames. Then, a white figure flashed into the battlefield like lightning—it was Hatake Kakashi, appearing between Obito and Might Guy, grabbing both of their wrists.

"You two, that's enough! Are you two out of your minds?"

"Hurry down and find a medical ninja to treat him!"

As Kakashi spoke, the two teachers, Oki and Himura, also intervened, announcing that the fifteen-minute countdown had ended and the entire exam was over.

The medical ninjas who had been waiting nearby quickly entered the scene, began to check the injured trainees, and treated some of the obvious injuries.

On the attacking side, Nara Madoka was woken up, rubbing her sore neck without making a sound; Asuma stepped aside, looking at Mikami Yu with a complicated expression; Hyuga Himon stood silently to the side, his Byakugan already closed.

On the defending side, Obito, whose face was still bandaged, was yelling next to Kakashi, asking which side had won. Kakashi didn't answer, too lazy to bother with him.

"Obito, why don't you sit down and rest for a while? The teachers will announce the results later."

Nohara Rin patted the stone steps beside her and tried to persuade her.

Then, she looked at Mikami Yu: "Yu-kun, are you alright?"

"...It's okay, just a little tired."

Mikami Yu smiled, leaned against the tree trunk behind him, and didn't want to move at all.

Nohara Rin pursed her lips and said, "Your performance just now was truly amazing. You took on three people all by yourself, including Asuma. I never expected you to be so good."

"Just lucky."

Just as Yu Mikami humbly uttered a sentence, Obito chimed in, "I'm pretty good too. If I hadn't held Might Guy back, he wouldn't have been able to win so easily! And Guy ultimately lost to me. If Yu gets first place, I should at least be second, right?"

"...I think you're at most twenty."

This time, it was Kurenai Yuhi who spoke, having just walked over.

She was clearly exhausted, her face flushed and still panting, but her eyes were bright: "I think Mikami's first place is a foregone conclusion. It's a pity Asuma and the others weren't in our group, otherwise they wouldn't have lost so badly."

The group chattered amongst themselves.

Yu Mikami listened half-heartedly, but lines of text boxes flashed through his mind:

[Transformation Technique: Congratulations, Little Third! You've won again. And this opponent was much stronger than last time; it's truly remarkable that you managed to defeat them.]

[Clone Technique: Hmph, not bad. Too bad you didn't use my pretty new skin... But it's alright, considering how hard you tried. I wonder which ninjutsu it is; the third sister hasn't used it yet. It's so hard to guess!]

[Fireball Jutsu: ...Although you're not talking about me this time, I still find it really unpleasant to hear you talk. Also, I advise you not to mention that technique, otherwise, when she comes out in a bit, that guy surnamed Mikami will be dead meat.]

[Eight Gates Formation: ?]

"Damn it, stop it!"

Upon seeing the "Eight Gates Formation" bubble up, Mikami Yu was startled.

He didn't use the Eight Gates in this exam, partly because opening only one gate is not very useful, and partly because he was also afraid. Who knows if the Eight Gates might suddenly overpower him, making him run a hundred laps around the Konoha training ground, or do something else bizarre.

fine……

[Eight Gates Formation: Hmm, I'm a little annoyed that I wasn't included in the fight, but I really like your tactical style. That's what youth is all about! Go back and wash yourself clean, I'll come find you for training tomorrow! See you there!]

Mikami Yu: "..."
