Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 95 Nohara Rin: This technique... can it harden any part of the body? (Fifth update, please subscribe!)

Mikami Yu was taken aback.

Rin Nohara, standing nearby, was momentarily stunned before her face flushed crimson. "Kushina-neechan, what are you talking about! Couples—we're not yet!"

"Ha ha!"

Kushina laughed and waved her hand, "Don't take offense. I just noticed you two are always together, so I asked. You don't need to answer, it's okay! But if you really meet someone you like, you must be bold and pursue them, otherwise you might regret it later!"

As she said this, Kushina raised her arm and made a fist-clenching gesture to cheer herself up.

"Is that so?

Nohara Rin glanced at Mikami Yu from behind, her eyes slightly evasive.

Yu Mikami coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed.

How to put it—

Yu Mikami was somewhat aware of Rin Nohara's feelings.

Although in the original storyline the latter liked Kakashi, in this timeline, he and Nohara Rin were childhood neighbors who grew up together and could be considered childhood friends. Moreover, his character modeling was quite good, and he was very popular in the ninja academy, so it's not surprising that Nohara Rin would "fall for someone else".

Yu Mikami also finds it difficult to dislike Rin Nohara, who has a gentle personality and a sensitive mind.

However, they are still quite young.

Even if children in the Naruto world are generally precocious, things like falling in love—shouldn't it be after they're at least ten years old?

Rather than all that, the top priority right now is to improve our strength and survive this protracted Ninja World War.

The two finally said goodbye at the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen.

Kushina went home, guided by the Anbu.

Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin walked side by side along the streets of Konoha Village.

By this time, it was already getting a little dark.

The moonlight cast a warm glow on the stone path.

Rin Nohara slowed her pace, her mind replaying Kushina's teasing words. Her gaze involuntarily drifted to the side, landing on the handsome profile of the boy beside her. A strange flutter and warmth welled up within her, as if a feather had gently tickled her heart.

"Yu-kun————"

"----Um?

'

I heard Yu Mikami's voice.

Nohara Rin woke up instantly.

She didn't mind, as a girl, confessing her feelings to the person she liked. But—that kind of thing shouldn't happen at a time like this. There was no special occasion, no romantic atmosphere with flowers or moonlight, only the exhaustion after training and the lingering taste of ramen soup—

That's too casual!

So, Nohara Rin's eyes widened in surprise. She looked down at her pale toes and quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Um—how about we go to the training grounds to practice later? It seems like it's been a long time since we practiced taijutsu together."

"Now?"

Mikami Yu pulled his thoughts away from the rune structure that Kushina had just explained and glanced at the girl beside him: "Okay, I just finished eating, let me digest a bit."

"Uh-huh----"

The two turned toward a small forest training ground that was closest to the residential area.

The training ground was exceptionally quiet at night, with only the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves.

"—I'm going to go, Yu-kun!"

Rin Nohara took a deep breath, clearing her mind of distractions, and quickly formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Clone Technique!"

Three clones identical to Nohara Rin appeared on the left and right sides, forming a triangle around Mikami Yuu along with the original body. The clones then advanced, wielding kunai, while Rin's original body opened its small mouth and unleashed a torrent of water: "Water Release: Water Chaos Wave!"

To be fair, Rin Nohara has indeed worked very hard these past few months, diligently practicing everything from water jutsu and medical ninjutsu to regular taijutsu and shuriken throwing. She also participated in the special training program set up by Minato Namikaze.

However, due to her lineage, her skill level can only be considered "elite genin".

Mikami Yu didn't use swordsmanship or fire release techniques to bully people. After using a substitution jutsu to create distance, he reached into his ninja tool pouch and filled his ten fingers with kunai and shuriken tied with transparent steel wires. Then, he suddenly threw them out.

Amidst the tinkling and clanging sounds.

Some of these kunai and shuriken shattered Nohara Rin's water clones, while others were knocked down by the water clones and the chaotic water waves. However, most of them were dodged and then pinned to several large trees around Nohara Rin. The steel wires intertwined and tightened in mid-air, faintly forming a three-dimensional network!

Then----

"receive!"

Mikami Yu pulled hard.

scoff!

The tough wire mesh suddenly contracted inward, and Nohara Rin's two remaining water clones were quickly cut and scattered into water droplets by the dense wire mesh. Then her main body was not spared either. Her slender waist and arms were bound by the suddenly tightening wire mesh, bringing a strong sense of restraint!

"Hmm!"

Nohara Rin screamed and, before she was completely bound like a dumpling, she formed hand seals and activated the Substitution Jutsu. With a "bang," she disappeared from her spot and reappeared five or six meters away, her face flushed and slightly panting. Where she had just stood, there was a wooden stake tightly wrapped with steel wire.

"pretty!"

Mikami Yu gave a compliment, then continued throwing ninja tools.

Rin Nohara concentrated her chakra beneath her feet, using the tree trunk as a foothold to climb upwards, escaping the area with the densest steel wires. At the same time, she drew a kunai and hurled it. The two ninja tools collided in mid-air, sending sparks flying.

Well, while Nohara Rin's close-quarters combat skills are a bit lacking, her throwing technique is quite good.

Finally, Nohara Rin seized her opportunity, closing in on Mikami Yu with a series of smooth movements. Suddenly, she descended from the sky, swinging a kunai at Mikami Yu. However, Mikami Yu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead reached out and grabbed the kunai that Nohara Rin was holding. The latter's eyes widened instantly in fright: "Yu, watch out—?"

When the kunai's blade touched his palm, instead of blood, a string of blinding sparks appeared!

Serpentine limb hardening!

While Nohara Rin was still in shock, Mikami Yu had already taken her weapon, then grabbed her wrist with his other hand, pulling and dragging the girl in front of him. He then used his hardening technique to hold the kunai that had fallen to her neck and placed the handle on Rin's neck: "It's over."

"—As expected of Yu."

Nohara Rin gave up resisting and looked at Mikami Yu's right hand with some curiosity: "Yu-kun, how did you do that? You actually caught the kunai with your bare hands. Was it an illusion?"

"Well, it's a new ninjutsu I recently learned that can harden limbs."

Yu Mikami did not reveal anything about Orochimaru, as these matters were not suitable for too many people to know.

Rin Nohara nodded, then asked curiously, "There's such a technique? That's amazing—can it harden any part of the body?"
