Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

This seems to be in response to Obito's question.

Footsteps sounded.

Wearing a black mask and carrying a short sword, Kakashi Hatake appeared not far away. He glanced indifferently at Yuu Mikami and Rin with deadpan eyes, then looked at Minato: "Minato-sensei, shall we begin now?"

"..."

Ok.

According to the tradition of the ninja world, most ninja teams consist of one Chunin and three Genin, so Kakashi theoretically qualifies as an "assistant instructor." Furthermore, Minato does have a lot of missions, so having someone help share the load is understandable.

but……

Wouldn't that mean Kakashi would be positioned as a "teacher"?

They still have to call Kakashi "teacher"?!

When Mikami Yu realized this, he was alright, but Obito's reaction was extremely intense.

"Damn it, it's you! Teacher? I don't acknowledge that! You're just a Chunin, I'm a Genin now, I'll surpass you soon!"

Kakashi nodded indifferently: "Oh."

"Oh, what does that mean?!"

"So, you're telling me all this after you become a Chunin. Now, as Minato-sensei requested, you have five minutes to devise a battle plan, then launch an attack on me. Your goal is to defeat me, or at least not be defeated by me."

"..."

Seeing that Minato Namikaze remained silent,

Mikami Yu let out a soft sigh and pulled Nohara Rin and the excited Obito aside: "I won't say anything more. The graduation exam tests individual ability, but this exercise tests teamwork. So, among the three of us, there needs to be a core member who is responsible for giving orders."

"Alright! I'll be the core member..."

"Obito, shut up and listen to Yu!"

Rin Nohara interrupted Obito, who was about to speak.

Yu Mikami continued, "Kakashi's strengths lie in Lightning Release and Earth Release, as well as the Hatake clan's swordsmanship, which are primarily close-quarters combat. We need one strong attacker to suppress the enemy head-on and create opportunities; one to provide support from the sidelines; and one to strike decisively and defeat the enemy in one blow."

"Obito, you suppress Kakashi!"

"good!"

Obito readily agreed.

At this stage, Obito was essentially a lower-tier version of Naruto. He had little concept of strength and was convinced that he wasn't much different from Kakashi. Coupled with his desire to impress Rin Nohara, he was brimming with confidence and didn't even care about being ordered around by Yu Mikami.

"Then I'll provide support."

Rin Nohara said.

Yu Mikami is naturally the "assassin" who waits for his chance to strike.

To put it simply, this lineup is a classic "shooter-tank-jungle" combination, designed to initiate team fights. Although Mikami Yu's offensive capabilities are actually far superior to Obito's, the latter can't be used as an assassin, so they have to settle for second best.

Next,

Mikami Yu briefly explained the tactics, then put the three people's ninja tools together and redistributed them.

During this process, Minato Namikaze crossed his arms, listened to the conversation from afar, and nodded slightly.

Speaking of which...

The real combat exercise at the Ninja Academy that happened earlier was actually designed by him.

One purpose was to fulfill Hiruzen Sarutobi's request and confirm whether Yu Mikami had the potential to learn space-time ninjutsu; the other was to test the overall quality of all the trainees, especially their combat skills and teamwork abilities.

Unfortunately, apart from Madoka Nara, most of the students did not demonstrate the second ability and fought individually, relying on their instincts to fight randomly.

In fact, even Kakashi, who is an "assistant coach," has this problem. Otherwise, he wouldn't be frequently complained about by his teammates. However, tracing this back to its source, it involves the Konoha White Fang incident last year, the rights and wrongs of which are difficult to discuss, and even Minato Namikaze cannot easily comment on it.

And now...

On the contrary, this Yu Mikami has shown some unique potential, which is quite surprising.

Minato Namikaze decided to take another look.

Five minutes passed quickly.

As the timer ended.

Yu and the others stood up simultaneously, with Obito leading the charge, his hands forming hand seals as he ran, his cheeks puffed out: "Fire Release... Great Fireball Technique!"

With a whoosh, a ball of orange-red fire was forcefully spat out, crashing down on where Kakashi was standing, stirring up the surrounding air and creating a wave of heat.

however--

puff!

The hit "Kakashi" turned into a substitute wooden stake.

"Huh?"

Obito was stunned for a moment, then felt the ground beneath his feet loosen, and an arm shot out of the ground like lightning, grabbing his ankle and pulling him sharply!

"Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!"

"Waaaaaah—!"

Obito only had time to let out a short scream before he was instantly dragged into the ground, leaving only his spiky head sticking out and his face covered in mud.

Over here, Nohara Rin raised both hands rapidly, and a large number of wooden shuriken shot towards Kakashi, who had just emerged from the ground beside Obito, like a swarm of bees. Kakashi casually drew a kunai, his wrist flicking like lightning, deflecting all the incoming shuriken, and then, with a burst of speed, he charged straight at Nohara Rin!

"Lin! Watch out!"

Otto screamed anxiously in the pit, struggling in vain.

Nohara Rin quickly raised her kunai to block.

Clang! Clang!

Two crisp sounds rang out. Despite the vast difference in strength, Kakashi flicked his wrist and sent Rin flying with an irresistible force. As she staggered backward, the kunai in her hand flew out of her grasp.

It's now!

"Substitution Jutsu!"

Yu Mikami's figure vanished suddenly, swapping positions with the kunai that Rin had flung out of her hand, and reappearing behind Kakashi! A Leaf Whirlwind swept fiercely towards Kakashi's ribs!

Sneak attack!

Kakashi abandoned his pursuit of Nohara Rin, twisted his waist and lowered his shoulders, and swung his kunai backhand!

boom!

Their legs collided violently with the metal handle of the kunai! The immense force jolted both of them, sending them sliding backward several meters.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The moment Mikami Yu landed, his hands had already formed hand seals, and chakra surged forth.

call--!

A blazing fireball, two to three meters high, roared out, far surpassing the one Obito had just released in terms of speed, size, and power! The scorching heat instantly scorched the surrounding grass and leaves!

Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly, and without hesitation, he slammed his hands on the ground: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

Boom!

A thick earthen wall, carved with several lifelike dog head patterns, suddenly rose up!

boom--!!!!

The fireball slammed into the earthen wall shaped like a dog's head, causing a violent explosion that sent flames and debris flying everywhere! The earthen wall shook violently, nearly half of its surface crumbling, and the carved dog's head flew far away, but it ultimately managed to withstand the impact.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

Kakashi's figure was concealed by the earthen wall as he quietly slipped underground—Earth Release: Earth Dive!

After unleashing the Great Fireball Technique, Mikami Yuya immediately formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Clone Technique!"
