Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

For an instant.

Blazing white flames cascaded down like a waterfall!

The tall, thin man was completely engulfed by the terrifying fireball, which was powerful enough to melt gold and iron, before he could even let out a scream!

Boom! ...

A deafening roar, accompanied by a violent shockwave, spread outwards. The scorching heat almost blinded Nohara Rin and the others in the distance, causing a burning sensation on their skin. A blast of hot wind, carrying ashes and debris, howled and scattering them, scattering the stench of burnt flesh in all directions!

A good ten seconds or so passed.

As the flames slowly subsided, a charred crater appeared on the spot, more than ten meters in diameter and two or three meters deep. The soil around the edges had been scorched into a molten, glassy state, with wisps of smoke rising from it. In the center of the crater, one could vaguely see a curled-up, charred, and inhuman-looking body.

The "Phantom Stage" has disappeared.

All the clones vanished like bubbles.

The white-haired boy flipped down from mid-air and stood on the edge of the charred pit, breathing softly.

at this time,

Minato Namikaze had already dealt with his opponent and woken up Rin Nohara. He was still observing Yu Mikami's situation and considering whether to come to his aid when he witnessed this astonishing scene, which resembled a calamity descending from the sky. He immediately widened his eyes in surprise.

Such a fire jutsu is beyond the level that ordinary genin, or even chunin, can achieve.

But then, Minato sensed something and frowned slightly: "Yu, be careful! There's another one down there..."

boom!!

The ground beneath Yu Mikami's feet suddenly exploded!

A pale hand burst forth from behind Mikami Yu, grabbing his ankle with all its might! Then it yanked him downwards!

"Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!"

The soil surged up like a living thing, instantly burying half of Mikami Yu's body underground!

"Yu-kun!"

Nohara Rin gasped in shock.

Minato Namikaze did not make a move. A strange light flashed in his azure eyes, and then he silently turned his gaze to the back of a tree trunk not far away, waiting for the situation to develop.

"Ha ha!"

Accompanied by a hoarse laugh like a broken bellows, a ninja with a terrifying scar on his face appeared beside the deep pit, where Mikami Yu had just stood. He held a kunai to Mikami Yu's neck, glancing at Namikaze Minato out of the corner of his eye.

Although it had just appeared, there were fresh burn marks on its body, suggesting it had been lurking underground for some time, preparing to ambush, but had been caught in the impact of the fireball. Fortunately, the soil provided some protection, preventing it from dying instantly like the tall, thin guy.

"Kid, you're still too green... Although this mission is destined to fail, at least we can take a genius from Konoha down with us, so it's not a loss."

With that, the scarred ninja swiftly and decisively slit open Mikami Yu's throat with a kunai.

then.

"……Oh."

A soft laugh rang out.

A calm, youthful voice, like a sigh, broke the silence of the night, sending a shiver down the spines of everyone present, especially the scarred ninja: "Since when did you start having the illusion that I haven't used clones?"

"!!"

The scarred ninja's sinister smile froze on his face as he watched "Mikami Yu" beside him instantly turn into a puddle of water, seeping into the scorched soil.

then,

Sensing something, he turned his head to look beside him, and saw a white figure darting out from the shadows on the side of the scorched pit with incredible speed! The short knife in his hand was raised horizontally, drawing a fierce, resolute, and unstoppable arc in the moonlight!

Swish!

A fleeting afterimage flashed by!

The last thing the scarred ninja could see was the opponent's eyes, which were surprisingly bright in the night, and the milky white sonic cones that pushed into the air to both sides as he moved forward!

"So fast..."

A knife!

Sever ties!

In the instant the cold light flashed, the scarred ninja's head, with a frozen expression of horror, flew high into the air, tumbled a few times, and then fell with a thud into the scorched, hot bottom of the pit.

The remaining headless corpse stood frozen at the edge of the pit for a few seconds before falling in as well, kicking up a cloud of ashes.

So far, the dust has settled.

Mikami Yu stopped a dozen meters away from the pit, his back to the other person. He made a dashing sword flourish, slowly sheathed the short sword, and then let out a long breath.

In the battle just now, he not only tried the "Instant Hell Shadow Kill Formation" and the full-power "Great Fireball", but also tested the "Wailing Army Will Surely Win" buff with 60% chakra.

That's right.

Mikami Yu had already discovered through experiments that the enhancement level of "The Woe Will Prevail" was determined by the amount of chakra in the defeated clone. Ordinary phantom clones received only a small enhancement, while water clones received a slightly larger one, especially those that allocated more chakra.

Therefore,

After unleashing "Great Fireball: Incineration", he poured the remaining chakra, which accounted for nearly 30% of his total chakra, into the last water element, while his main body used a transformation technique to hide to the side.

When this water clone was truly defeated, combined with the clones scattered by the tall, thin man earlier, Mikami Yu's "The Woe is Mighty" buff reached an unprecedented level, thus creating that stunning strike. The scarred ninja, a Chunin, didn't even have time to react before being instantly killed.

"It seems that selling health at the start to stack buffs, then using 'The Army of Despair Will Prevail' to enhance 'Hatake Sword Technique', combined with a Substitution Jutsu for a quick attack, is also a viable strategy..."

The risk is a bit high.

After all, the more blood you "sell," the higher the buff stacks you get, but at the same time, it will reduce your own defense and survivability. If you really encounter a tough opponent, and even with the buffs, you can't quickly defeat them, then Mikami Yu's situation will become very dangerous.

This time, Mikami Yu dared to try it because Minato Namikaze was present; anyway, even if he messed up, he wouldn't die.

Going forward, we need to conduct several more tests to determine a safety limit.

"call……"

Yu Mikami let out another long sigh, feeling empty and powerless. Sweat mixed with dust and bloodstains streamed down his face, quickly soaking his clothes.

At this point, the "healing technique" came into play again:

[Healing Technique: This child... if you're not looking out for even a short while, you end up covered in bruises again. Come here to Mommy, let Mommy take good care of you.]

A pale green light emanated from Mikami Yu's body, healing his somewhat exhausted state.

"Yu-kun! Are you alright?"

Nohara Rin rushed over, her hands glowing with a soft green medical chakra, and placed them on Mikami Yu's chest.

Minato Namikaze also arrived in a flash, asking with concern, "Are you alright, Yu? You look like you've used up a lot of energy... Rin, I remember Lady Tsunade invented a small pill for temporarily replenishing chakra, but with fewer side effects than the soldier's ration pill. Do you have any on you?"
