Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

"It's red."

Mikami Yu swallowed the noodles in his mouth, looked up at Yuhi Kurenai, and smiled slightly: "It's alright. I just did a B-rank mission a few days ago and only returned to the village yesterday."

"Wow, B-rank? That's amazing! As expected of Yu-kun! We just did a C-rank mission, and it was the easiest one at that, not interesting at all... By the way, what kind of mission did you guys do? Can you tell us?"

As they were speaking,

Asuma and Raido Nami also came over. Asuma pursed his lips as he watched Kurenai Yuhi sit down naturally next to Yu Mikami, and then sat down on the other side of the bench.

"Boss, two bowls of tonkotsu ramen, one with chili and one without, and one bowl of bamboo shoot ramen too."

"Okay!"

While waiting for the noodles to be served, Kurenai continued to ask Yu Mikami about his class, which he and Rin Nohara answered in turn. Obito, unable to contain his boastful nature, chimed in with a few words about his own achievements.

suddenly,

Obito seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke up: "Hey, Asuma, I have a question for you. Do you know 'Konoha's White Fang'?"

"?"

"I only knew he was a very powerful ninja before, but I didn't know why he sacrificed himself. I wanted to ask Minato-sensei about it last time, but I didn't get the chance. You're the Hokage's son, you must know these inside stories, right?"

"..."

The air around the table quieted down.

Asuma paused, his hand holding the chopsticks stilled. He glanced at Obito, and after confirming that Obito was indeed asking a question, he sighed.

"Ah, that's right. Lord Hatake Sakumo was indeed quite famous. Back then, he had a very high reputation in the village, almost as high as the current Sannin. It is said that his swordsmanship was so exquisite that it could rival that of the demigod from the Land of Rain."

"As for the cause of his death..."

"This isn't exactly a secret. It happened a few years ago. During an important mission, he abandoned it to rescue his comrades, causing significant losses to the village. Afterwards, many villagers criticized him, even the comrades he rescued..."

"In the end, he couldn't bear the pressure of public opinion and committed suicide at home. Kakashi probably started to become depressed around that time."

"You guys are in the same class as Kakashi, and you don't even know that?"

Yu Mikami knew this, although his source of information was anime from his previous life.

Rin Nohara and Obito, however, genuinely had no idea.

After all, when the Hatake Sakumo incident happened, they were only six or seven years old. One of them had a father who was only a Chunin, and the other had lost both parents and only had a grandmother. They were too distant from Hatake Sakumo and didn't pay much attention to these rumors.

Especially Obito.

After hearing Asuma's explanation, the guy was stunned. Kakashi's lifeless eyes flashed through his mind, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the table with a "clatter." His eyes reddened slightly: "So that's how it is... No wonder Kakashi is usually like that..."

It must be said that Obito at this time had a very strong ability to empathize.

It's also possible that the great bond between Konoha is starting to take effect.

He jumped up, abandoning his meal, and ran towards the door, shouting, "I...I'm going to apologize to Kakashi right now!"

"?"

Yu Mikami and the others sat where they were, looking at Obito's disappearing figure, exchanging bewildered glances.

"this……"

Nohara Rin was a little worried.

"Never mind him, let's eat first."

Mikami Yu continued slurping his noodles.

Nohara Rin sat there for a while and gradually calmed down: Anyway, Obito and Kakashi usually didn't get along, so at worst they would have another fight, and she and Mikami Yu would find a way to reconcile them. It wouldn't make their relationship worse than before.

"By the way, Yu."

Kurenai hesitated for a moment, then softened her voice even more: "Do you have time this afternoon? I have some questions about practical combat techniques that I'd like to ask you. I feel like I've hit a roadblock lately."

"?"

Rin Nohara looked up alertly: "I want to go too! Lately, I've been watching you train with Kakashi and Obito every day, and I feel like I can't keep up at all. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll become the one who drags the team down."

That's the truth.

Compared to the exceptionally talented Kakashi, the bloodline-defying Obito, and the system-wielding Mikami Yuu, Nohara Rin's presence has indeed been rather low lately.

While one can pursue the path of a medical ninja, even medical ninjas need basic combat abilities, at least the ability to protect themselves.

Asuma coughed and said, "Yu, I'd like to spar with you again. I've recently learned a couple of new ninjutsu techniques, but I haven't found a suitable person to practice with yet..."

Good guy.

Why is it that once Obito left, all the blame for this bond has shifted to him?

Yu Mikami also mentioned that she'd try out the "Instant Prison Shadow Assassination Formation" this afternoon...

There are supposed to be five people at this table, so why is that guy named Namiashi Raido so barely noticeable...?

Yu muttered as he finished the last sip of soup, wiping his mouth. "Alright, see you at Training Ground 13 at 3 PM. I'm going back for my lunch break. Rin, are you coming back with me?"

"good!"

……

The afternoon sun shone through the tall trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground of the thirteenth training field.

Yu Mikami, Rin Nohara, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma converged here from several different directions.

"Who wants to go first?"

Mikami Yu asked.

"...I'll do it."

Kurenai glanced at Asuma, and seeing that the latter did not speak, she took the first step forward and stood in the center of the field.

"Come."

Yu Mikami, with his bare hands, beckoned.

"Aren't you going to use a weapon?" Kurenai Yuhi frowned slightly.

"Not for now. Let's see how much your physical skills have improved since then."

"...Okay. Let's go!"

Before she finished speaking, Kurenai threw out a large shuriken to clear a path. Then, as Yuu Mikami dodged to the side, Kurenai rushed forward in a flash, her kunai turning into a cold star and stabbing straight at Yuu Mikami's left shoulder. Yuu Mikami barely managed to dodge it at the last second, and then grabbed Kurenai's wrist holding the kunai with her left hand.

"ah!"

Kurenai Yuhi twisted her wrist sharply, slashing downwards at Yuu Mikami's fingers.

Mikami Yu changed his slapping motion to a gentle tap, striking the outside of Hong's forearm with a soft "smack." Although he didn't use his full strength, it still made Hong's arm go numb, forcing her to jump back to dodge.

How to put it...

Kurenai Yuhi actually has some talent in physical combat, otherwise she wouldn't have received a rating of 8 in physical combat in the official guidebook.

From her brief encounter with Itachi in the original storyline, it can be seen that although Kurenai Yuhi was suppressed throughout, it was mainly because her stats were insufficient. As a woman without a bloodline limit, her strength was only 4, so she couldn't withstand Itachi's attacks, but her adaptability was not a problem.

right now,

The situation was similar when Yu Mikami practiced with her.

Kurenai Yuhi's fighting style emphasizes agility and speed, with kunai flying around, and specializing in attacking joints and vital points;

Mikami Yu, on the other hand, was more composed, mostly passively parrying attacks, but occasionally a sudden advance would force Red to scramble, showing a significant difference in strength.

But there's nothing we can do about it; after all, Yu Mikami has a cheat code.

Before he got the cheat, his physical skills were only slightly better than Kurenai Yuhi's. If he was still about the same after getting the cheat, then wouldn't he have gotten the cheat for nothing?
