Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Wait, wait a minute...

What happened?!

[You heard from the clone technique that although the Great Fireball Technique is a glamorous young lady on the outside, she is not actually valued by others. Many people insult her by calling her the "Kindness Technique." Although Great Fireball doesn't say it, she is quite bothered by it and wants to prove her strength to shut up those who mock her.]

[Please decide whether you want to take concrete action to vindicate the Great Fireball Technique: Yes/No]

[Task Time Limit: 15 days]

"!!"

Mikami Yu's eyes lit up.

Well done, you created a clone!

As expected of my trusted lieutenant, he managed to bring up the special incident of the Great Fireball in just three sentences... What else is there to say?

catch!

As the saying goes, there are no bad techniques, only users who don't know how to use them. Madara Uchiha can make a C-rank ninjutsu look like an A-rank ninjutsu, and so can I, Yu Mikami!

Although the criteria for this "rectification" were somewhat vague, it seemed to involve killing a few people with a powerful fireball, but fortunately, there was enough time—a full 15 days. By then, he should have already been assigned to shifts and was ready to leave the village to do missions.

In the current ninja world, which is in a time of war, killing is not uncommon. At worst, they can just find some bandits to fill the ranks; that should be manageable.

As Yu Mikami chooses to accept the quest, the text box changes:

[Fireball Technique: (The flames subside slightly, but remain high) Hmph! That's more like it! Remember your words! This young lady is waiting!]

[Fireball Technique: Affection +2]

The day's training has come to an end.

As the sun set, Yu Mikami dragged his tired body home, washed up, and rested.

……

Before we knew it, graduation day arrived.

This ceremony, like the entrance ceremony, was a rare big day for the ninja academy, so in addition to the graduating students, many parents were also invited to attend. Among them was Mikami Yu's mother, Mikami Aoi.

Early in the morning.

Aoi Mikami woke up and called Yu Mikami. While he ate breakfast, she went back to her room to get ready and changed into a clean new outfit.

When the mother and son came out of their house, they saw their neighbors, Hiroshi and Misae Nohara, also coming out with Rin. They greeted Aoi Mikami with broad smiles: "Good morning, Aoi, and Yu too! Rin told us you got first place, but we haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet!"

"Uncle Hiroshi, you're too kind. I wouldn't have achieved such results if it weren't for the ninjutsu scrolls you gave me."

Yu Mikami said.

Hiroshi Nohara laughed loudly, "Haha, what are you saying? It took me two or three months to master those two techniques. You were able to learn them in such a short time because you are talented. Even without those two techniques, you would still have made a name for yourself."

He said a few more words,

The two families then began walking towards the school.

It was nine o'clock in the morning.

The auditorium of the Konoha Ninja Academy was already packed with people. Graduating students and some of their parents filled the seats and were exchanging pleasantries.

Yuu looked around and spotted some familiar faces: Kurenai Yuhi's father, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, Hizashi Hyuga, and a few others whose appearances told him which clan they belonged to, such as the Nara clan's classic pineapple hairstyle.

"Huh, is Obito late again?"

Nohara Rin remembered that loud and boisterous figure.

"I think so."

Yu Mikami said.

It seems that in the original storyline, Obito was absent from this graduation ceremony.

"Let's find a place to sit first; the seats all seem to have name tags on them."

Soon, the ceremony began.

Principal Fujimoto Itsuki stepped onto the podium and began a lengthy but essential speech, essentially reviewing the past, looking to the future, and emphasizing the responsibilities of the Ninja Academy and the glory of Konoha. Finally, he solemnly announced:

"Thirty-three trainees in this cohort have passed the rigorous examination and will be officially awarded Konoha ninja headbands, becoming proud genin! Please give them a round of applause!"

Quack quack—

"Huh? Thirty-three? How come there are so many? I remember there were only twenty-one last year?"

"Indeed, even someone like Ebisu passed the test?"

Yu Mikami heard someone whispering.

Then came another, slightly older voice: "Shh—keep your voices down. Have you forgotten about the wounded who returned to the village recently? This isn't peacetime; the village needs fresh blood..."

The murmurs gradually faded away.

Yuya Mikami also refocused his attention.

The ceremony continued.

During the event, Yu Mikami, as the "top student," spoke on behalf of this year's trainees. He had spent two hours writing his speech the night before, carefully considering every word and phrase, and the content was closely related to the "Will of Fire." After all, this was a public opportunity, and he wanted to perform well.

After the speech, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. The applause from Nohara Rin and Mikami Aoi was particularly enthusiastic.

Then, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, reappeared with a gentle smile and personally presented each graduating student with a headband representing the ninjas of Konoha.

After all these activities were completed, the parents began to leave one by one. Those who had tasks continued to do so, while those who had nothing else gathered in twos and threes to prepare to have a couple of drinks and catch up.

The students stayed behind to wait for the class assignment results.

"Mikami-kun, your situation is special. The Hokage instructed you to go to the back playground to find him."

Mr. Oki leaned over and said.

"Um?"

Yu Mikami paused for a moment, then stood up and, amidst the envious gazes of Rin Nohara and the others, left the auditorium and went to the back of the teaching building. Hiruzen Sarutobi was already waiting there, a pipe dangling from his mouth, a cheerful expression on his face.

"You're here?"

When Mikami Yu walked up to him,

Hiruzen Sarutobi took off his pipe and got straight to the point: "Now, I'm here to fulfill my promise and teach you the 'Phoenix Fire Technique'."

"The Phoenix Flower Technique is a C-rank Fire Release ninjutsu. Unlike the Great Fireball Technique, which focuses on instantaneous bursts and wide-range attacks, it emphasizes dispersed attacks and sustained damage..."

As a "Ninjutsu Doctor," Hiruzen Sarutobi's teaching level is beyond question; he has reached the point of returning to simplicity.

He explained the chakra flow and hand seals of the "Phoenix Flower Fire Technique" in a simple and easy-to-understand way, also briefly mentioning the Great Fireball and Water Wave techniques. Only after confirming that Mikami Yu understood did he begin the demonstration:

"Look carefully, Zi-Yin-Xu-Chou-Mao-Yin..."

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

call--!

Several clusters of orange-red flames, resembling balsam seeds, spewed from Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth.

These flames did not fly out in a straight line, but rather in an arc, like tracking missiles, scattering and striking several earthen targets in front of them, shattering them one by one.

[Ding! High-quality potential target detected: "Phoenix Fire Technique", triggering a limited-time encounter quest!]
