Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

"Yu-kun... and Kakashi-kun... they're both amazing."

"Not only ninjutsu, but also swordsmanship..."

Nohara Rin let out a long sigh of relief, nervously clutching the ninja tool pouch beside her, her palms sweating profusely.

As a fellow graduate of the same class, she felt the gap between herself and these two geniuses was enormous. Especially Mikami Yu, who hadn't shown much promise just a few months ago, but now she felt a sense of awe and admiration for him; his progress was so rapid, it was like a dream.

If things continue like this, Nohara Rin is worried that she will become a burden to the team.

next to.

Obito didn't think too much about it. He immediately jumped up and shouted, "Change of fighters! Yu's sword is broken, it's my turn to fight Kakashi!"

"..."

Kakashi, who had originally intended to go back and rest for a while, stopped in his tracks upon hearing Obito's voice, then sighed, "Come on. If you can last two minutes against me, you win."

"?"

……

As Obito and Kakashi became entangled.

Yu Mikami returned to the side and sat down next to Rin Nohara.

"Lin, how was the tree climbing and wading practice?"

"Hmm, it's a little better than yesterday. I can climb trees up to halfway without falling, but wading through water... it's still a bit difficult to maintain my balance, and my chakra flow is a bit unstable."

"Nohara Rin said in a low voice."

"Do it once and let me see."

Yu Mikami said.

Seeing Mikami Yu speak,

Nohara Rin stood up, covered her feet with chakra, and took two steps barefoot into the stream beside her. Sure enough, she swayed, her chakra became disordered, and she stepped into the water with a splash. Mikami Yu pulled her from behind so that she wouldn't get completely wet.

"It's still a problem of uneven chakra distribution."

Mikami Yu extended his finger, lightly touching Rin's ankle and calf. "Just now, here, and here, your muscles were too tense, which caused chakra flow to be obstructed. Relax, release your chakra from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of your foot, evenly covering the entire sole, imagine it as a soft cushion supporting you."

"Um……"

Nohara Rin responded, her wet, pale toes curling up slightly, as if she were a little embarrassed by the contact.

But then, following Mikami Yu's instructions, she tried to relax her tense calf muscles, adjust her chakra output, and try again.

Well...

These past few days, the lives of Mikami Yu and the others have been quite monotonous.

Every day consists of eating, sleeping, and checking in with Kashi.

I also managed to complete about ten D-level missions in my spare time.

The tasks range from clearing debris from the river to helping villagers find their lost pets, to assisting in repairing walls, harvesting herbs, cleaning the training ground, and capturing wild boars that are damaging farmland—a wide variety indeed.

Although Obito had strong opinions about this, believing that with his strength he shouldn't waste his time on these ordinary missions, Minato Namikaze carried out the requirements, and Kakashi consistently suppressed Obito, so the team was able to maintain a relatively stable position.

Minato Namikaze came by this morning, but was called away midway through; apparently, something happened at the Hokage Building. So only Yu Mikami and a few others are left training here by themselves.

In truth, Mikami Yu also wanted to leave the village, after all, he still had a mission to "vindicate the Great Fireball." However, given that Obito and Nohara Rin's strength was still lacking—they hadn't even mastered climbing trees or walking on water—he could only wait...

"Bang—!!"

Obito's figure flew high into the air and landed on the ground not far from Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin.

"One minute and forty-nine seconds, five seconds longer than last time."

Kakashi, hands in his pockets, said to Obito from a distance, "With your current strength, you shouldn't be thinking about when to leave the village, but rather how to avoid becoming a burden. Otherwise, if the mission goes wrong, Mikami Yu and I will have to be distracted protecting you."

"What did you say?! Who asked you to protect them?!"

Dai Tu was so angry he jumped up and down.

Just as Kakashi pursed his lips, preparing to make a few more sarcastic remarks, a faint golden light flashed not far away, and then a familiar figure appeared there—it was none other than Minato Namikaze, who had disappeared for most of the day.

"Kakashi, how's it going?"

"Minato-sensei..."

Seeing Minato Namikaze approach, Kakashi went over to report on today's progress.

The latter listened patiently, then glanced at Mikami Yu and the others, his smile gentle: "It seems everyone has been training very diligently, which puts my mind at ease. I was originally planning to let you consolidate your foundation for a few more days, but now there's a C-rank mission coming up. I wonder if you're confident?"

"A C-level mission?"

Need to leave the village?

Mikami Yu and Obito's eyes lit up at the same time.

Yu Mikami was happy to be able to do the "Great Fireball" mission.

Obito, on the other hand, was simply overambitious and wanted to achieve too much too quickly.

Kakashi frowned slightly, noticing something amiss: "Minato-sensei, isn't this... too fast? Normally, a genin team needs at least half a month to get used to each other before considering a mission outside the village."

Minato Namikaze's smile faded slightly, and he sighed softly: "Yes, that's how it is under normal circumstances."

"But you've all noticed, haven't you? The number of wounded in the village has increased significantly recently, and the intelligence from the border... isn't looking too good either. We may not have that much time to prepare step by step anymore; we need to build up effective combat capability before the situation gets even worse."

The atmosphere instantly became more tense.

Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin had been to Konoha Hospital and knew about the situation Minato Namikaze had described.

Kakashi had only recently returned from outside the village.

Even the slow-witted Obito sensed something was wrong and stopped complaining.

see,

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "But there's no need to worry. Because of Kakashi and Yu, the average strength of our team is stronger than that of a typical genin team. Also, C-rank missions usually don't involve encountering enemy ninjas, which is why I decided to give it a try."

"Don't worry, even if we encounter any unexpected situations, I'm quite confident that I can bring you back to Konoha."

present.

Minato Namikaze took out the mission scroll and passed it around to Yu Mikami and the others.

The mission involves escorting medical personnel and supplies to the border of the Land of Fire.

Departure time is the day after tomorrow.

Upon seeing this mission, Yu Mikami subconsciously thought of her father, who was on duty at the border. She wondered how he was doing; judging by the timeline, his duty should be ending soon…

That's basically the situation.

Minato Namikaze said, "You guys should finish your training early today and go back. You don't need to do any more missions tomorrow, so you can rest and pack your things. Although it's a C-rank mission, it still has some danger, and you might encounter unexpected situations. Remember to bring enough ninja tools."

"Meet at the village entrance at 7:00 AM the day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

Yu Mikami and the others nodded in agreement.

Until Minato Namikaze left,

Kakashi glanced at Mikami Yu and said casually, "Hey, Mikami. You're interested in swordsmanship, aren't you?"
