Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

On the training ground, swords flashed and the sounds of collisions were deafening.

Both Yu Mikami and Shisui are currently under ten years old and their bodies have not fully developed, but their swordsmanship level has far surpassed that of their peers. At first glance, it looks like a duel between sword masters.

This scene made Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai's eyes sparkle, and a faint blush appeared on their cheeks.

Even Asuma was somewhat fascinated and had the urge to switch jobs and become a swordsman.

Whether it's strong or not...

This fighting style looks really cool! It's incredibly eye-catching!

Asuma even wanted to go a step further and try something unusual—the saying goes, "An inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous." If Yu Mikami could wield a short sword that was more than half a meter long with such an effect, wouldn't it look even cooler and more powerful if Asuma wielded a super short sword that was 20 centimeters long?

Yes, I've decided!

I'll go home today and discuss it with my husband to see if we can get a chakra metal sword!

Then I'll pick a cool name, which will definitely surprise Mikami Yu and make his teammate Yuhi Kurenai look at him with new respect!

at last……

After another fierce clash of blades, Mikami Yu and Uchiha Shisui each took a few steps back, panting heavily.

Let's stop here.

Yu Mikami spoke up first: "Let's call this a draw for now, and we can fight again next time."

[Hatake's Sword Technique: Why did you stop already? Well, alright, considering you're a beginner and still not proficient, I'll leave it at that for now. Next time you encounter this "Uchiha-style swordsmanship," I'll make sure she suffers a crushing defeat!]

"Yes, yes, yes, mere Uchiha swordsmanship is nowhere near as powerful as our family's invincible Hatake swordsmanship. Of all the swordsmanship I've ever seen, I, Mikami Yu, would gladly acknowledge you as the strongest!"

Following Hatake Tojutsu's lead, Mikami Yu silently praised him.

This shameless praise did indeed have the desired effect:

[Hatake Sword Technique: Hmph, you've only seen a few sword techniques... And who else is related to you? But at least you have some discernment. Next time you call me out, don't let me see you make the same mistake.]

[Hatake's swordsmanship affinity +2]

the other side.

Shisui slowly sheathed his sword, the fighting spirit in his eyes subsiding, and he reverted to the slightly shy young man he once was: "Senior, you had already fought three battles before we sparred, so you were not at your peak. Moreover, your swordsmanship is even more unfathomable, almost as if you can foresee the future. I have learned a great deal."

"Same to you."

Mikami Yu let out a soft sigh: "For someone your age to achieve this level is truly astonishing. Let's have more opportunities to exchange ideas and learn from each other's strengths."

"it is good."

Zhi Shui nodded in response.

As a "high-potential target", "Hatake Sword Technique" is not easy to raise in terms of favorability. On average, you can only get 1 or 2 points a day, which is higher than "Eight Gates" but lower than "Great Fireball" and "Healing Technique".

But after fighting Shisui this time, his favorability rating increased by 5 points.

This put Yu Mikami in a great mood.

He even started to consider whether he should find a few more ninjas skilled in "Konoha-ryu swordsmanship" and "secret swordsmanship" and fight them one by one to see if he could stimulate Hatake's swordsmanship and raise his favorability rating in one go.

Hmm, I need to plan this out properly when I have time.

In this regard, perhaps we could consider asking Minato Namikaze for help. Given his status as a Jonin, he should know a few experts in this field. Inviting him over for a sparring session shouldn't be too much of a problem. At worst, we could just buy him a couple of packs of cigarettes afterward.

As for now...

"Asuma, shall we continue?"

"……never mind."

Asma shook his head: "You just fought this guy, you're exhausted, and I won't take advantage of you. Maybe next time."

"Alright then, let's practice again next time we have time, still at this training ground. Shisui, you can come along then too."

Yu Mikami said.

"Okay, I will."

……

The encounter with Shisui was just a brief interlude.

Afterwards, Yu Mikami, Asuma, and the others rested for a while, reviewed and organized the training session, and when it was almost time, they all went home.

For the next ten days or so.

Yu Mikami's life returned to normal once again.

I run a few laps every morning to exercise my body;

In the morning, I went to Konoha Hospital to listen to Tsunade's lecture and occasionally acted as a free laborer, helping to treat the injured in the hospital.

In the afternoon, I went to the training ground to train, and occasionally sparred with Kakashi and others, as well as Shisui.

During that time, he also took some time to go out with Rin Nohara and Obito to do a few D-rank missions and one C-rank mission—this one was a relatively normal C-rank mission, and he easily completed it by encountering some enemy ninja.

I don't know if Obito went to talk to Kakashi about White Fang that day, but judging from their way of getting along, there wasn't much change. One of them was still clueless and the other was still unhappy. It's just that when Obito argued with Kakashi, his tone seemed to have softened a lot.

Nohara Rin learned "Water Clone" and "Water Ripple" from Mikami Yu and is practicing them diligently.

As for Yu Mikami himself, he was working hard to increase his affinity and proficiency with techniques such as Great Fireball, Housen Fire, and Hatake Sword Technique.

He tried out the "Instant Shadow Killing Array," but encountered a small problem:

First, the "Phantom Stage" consumes more chakra than expected.

From the moment it's activated, even if you stand still, your chakra will continuously decrease, automatically dissipating after about eight to ten minutes. However, if Yu Mikami frequently unleashes ninjutsu like the Great Fireball Technique during this process, the duration might drastically decrease to even shorter than Ultraman's transformation.

This problem is complicated in some ways, but easy to solve in others.

After all, Yu Mikami is still young and his body is still developing. In addition, his chakra level will definitely continue to rise due to the increased physical condition from mastering ninjutsu.

Moreover, the "Instant Prison Shadow Killing Formation" does not necessarily have to be paired with ninjutsu; it can also be combined with Hatake's sword techniques.

But this raises the second question—

As Hyuga Hizashi pointed out before, even if the Three Body Techniques can be seamlessly connected, Mikami Yu's nerve reaction still needs time.

The Substitution Jutsu has a casting time of 0.2 seconds, and in the "Illusionary Play" state, there is almost no cooldown, theoretically allowing for five strikes per second. However, in actual operation, considering that after each significant change of position, there is a step of adjusting body position, judging distance, and resuming output, Yu Mikami can only strike two or three times per second at most.

1v1 is alright.

In a 1v3 situation, the position of each enemy needs to be considered, and the landing point of the "Substitution Jutsu" needs to be repeatedly weighed. The amount of information that needs to be collected and processed becomes terrifying.

It's hard to imagine how much data was running through Minato Namikaze's mind during those few seconds when he instantly killed fifty ninjas.

The fact that this didn't burn out the CPU just shows that the brain capacity of vegetative ninjas in the ninja world is still too high...

"Looks like I really need to find some time to discuss this with Minato-sensei..."

"Let's see if he has any way to train his neural reflexes later in life..."
