Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

"This part has a lot of formulas, it's too complicated, I haven't understood it yet."

Yu Mikami said somewhat vaguely.

Dealing with someone like Orochimaru is a very troublesome thing.

I can't act too stupid, that would seem too deliberate, after all, someone who can be brought here by Tsunade to look through files can't be an idiot; at the same time, I can't act too smart either.

Just like now,

Although Mikami Yu had deliberately held back, Orochimaru still seemed to have taken an interest in him, his eyes scrutinizing him, making Mikami Yu feel a chill run down his spine.

"Well, it's okay. For a genin who has just graduated, it's already quite good that you have this level of comprehension."

Orochimaru hissed, "Would you be interested in helping out at my research institute? I happen to need a few assistants to help me unravel the mysteries of life. If it's you, perhaps you have the potential."

"Forehead……"

Before Mikami Yu could even politely decline, he was told to decline.

Tsunade, standing nearby, snorted coldly, her face displeased: "Orochimaru, give me that idea! This kid is Minato's disciple and a student in the advanced medical class. He has neither the time nor the interest to be your experimental assistant! His path is none of your concern!"

"Hehehe..."

Orochimaru chuckled softly, the sound echoing eerily in the closed archives. "Don't be nervous, Tsunade. I just want to offer him an option to broaden his horizons. After all, knowledge is priceless, isn't it?"

"Well, I still have a few experiments to do today, so I'll head back now. We can talk again another time."

With that, Orochimaru turned around and silently disappeared into the shadows deep within the archives.

Until that chilling aura completely disappeared.

The surrounding air recovered from its slightly stagnant state and began to flow again.

Yu Mikami quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his palms covered in cold sweat.

At that moment, Tsunade walked over, propped herself up on her elbows next to Mikami Yu, and looked at the dark blue scroll. As she did this, her full breasts pressed against the stone table, appearing almost bursting out.

"...Hmph, it seems that guy has really put a lot of effort into this project over the past few years. This version is indeed much more mature than before."

As one of the top medical ninjas in the ninja world, Tsunade only glanced at the contents of the scroll and understood the general idea before standing up again:

"Take a look at these first. If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me. I probably won't be coming with you for the next two days, so just tell me your name when you come."

"If I run into that guy again..."

"It's fine to ask him questions, but don't pay attention to his nonsense. Although that guy's research skills are good, in recent years... his thoughts have become more and more unpredictable."

Tsunade's expression was somewhat complicated as she said this.

At this time, Orochimaru had not yet revealed his secret of using villagers for human experiments. Apart from being a bit eccentric, he was otherwise quite decent, and even enjoyed considerable prestige among most ninjas and the general public. He was Hiruzen Sarutobi's beloved disciple and a popular candidate for the next Hokage.

But Tsunade's womanly intuition also made her vaguely sense something.

—It's not just intuition.

There's also the cautionary tale of Tobirama Senju.

However, Tobirama Senju generally used enemies for experiments, and with Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki watching over him, he had to be even more careful about the impact after becoming Hokage, so overall he still had some principles. Orochimaru, on the other hand, is a different story.

but……

Tsunade had been classmates with Orochimaru for many years, and at this time, due to her hemophobia, she didn't want to get involved in village affairs, so she didn't intend to delve into this matter.

In her view, as long as Orochimaru doesn't provoke her and lets her properly train Mikami Yu to be her successor after leaving Konoha, she can pretend she doesn't know anything else.

"I understand, Lady Tsunade."

Mikami Yu nodded in agreement.

After a while, Mikami Yu looked through both rolls completely, pondered for a moment, and then gathered them up and put them back in their original place.

For the next two days, Yu Mikami arrived at the archives at noon every day to browse through the scrolls.

strictly speaking,

Some of the contents of these two scrolls, especially the contents of the new scroll, are things that Mikami Yu cannot fully understand at the moment.

Although he could understand every word on it, he only had a vague understanding of those involving chakra frequency resonance, unverified theorems and formulas, and conjectures about the imprint of the origin of life. He even suspected that some parts were plot holes deliberately left by Orochimaru.

but,

This did not stop Mikami Yu from repeatedly entering that pure white consciousness space and launching an "offensive" against the disabled girl sleeping in the life support pod.

"Good afternoon! I'm here again. Can you hear me?"

【…】

"Even if you are unconscious, it doesn't matter. I will come here to visit you often."

【…】

"Based on the original pulse frequency of the nervous system, finding suitable points to induce phase resonance, thereby accelerating the transmission of electronic signals... I think that's the gist of it?"

【…】

Over three days.

Every day, Yu Mikami tries to have conversations, starting with greetings and progressing to understanding the content of the scroll—the last one isn't a fixed option given by the corner system, but rather Yu Mikami's thoughts and the murmurs he makes in reality.

However, the result of each dialogue is the same.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day.

The text box changed unexpectedly for Mikami Yu:

【...】

"Um?"

Yuu Mikami keenly noticed the detail that the ellipsis had shortened, and then quickly asked a follow-up question using his mind.

You sit in the pure white space of the laboratory, looking at the girl inside the life support pod. Suddenly, as if a drop of water had fallen into a still lake, the girl's butterfly-like eyelashes twitched almost imperceptibly. Then, the outer shell of the life support pod quietly opened, and a chilling aura rushed out.

[A: You're conscious, right? I know you've endured loneliness for too long, but I can stay with you forever.]

B: Come with me, I will do everything I can to take good care of you.

C: (Without speaking, attempts to kiss her forehead)

"Sleeping Beauty, huh...?"

Yu Mikami chose C.

There was no tangible touch, no warmth. But just moments after he made his choice, the text box flickered a few times, and then…

[Ding! "Neural Activation Technique - Incomplete" added to the strategy list!]

Current favorability rating: 1/25 (Unfamiliar)

[Note: The target is currently in a fragmented state, with the maximum affection level capped at 25. You need to help them recover their limbs and internal organs to unlock the full cap.]

Wait a minute...

So this "beautiful girl" not only has limbs, but also incomplete internal organs?

After all that, I still had to put it together myself.
