Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 96 Special Item: The Sealed Left Arm! (First Update)

Mikami Yu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

No—this question sounds a bit strange.

If he didn't know Nohara Rin's personality, he would have thought the girl was deliberately making inappropriate remarks.

However, Yu Mikami did attempt to apply "snake limb hardening" to the torso.

However, it's likely that Orochimaru originally developed this technique to use his arms as backup weapons in critical moments, rather than for defense. Using it on anything other than the limbs would be slightly more complicated, requiring more precise chakra manipulation.

I need to practice more.

After a brief summary of the battle...

Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin together gathered up the scattered ninja tools around them, and even rolled up the wires into a ball: "It seems that without the Sharingan, it's really not easy to use those fancy rope techniques—let's take it slow, it's not our main offensive method anyway."

Night was falling.

The two packed up their ninja tools, left the training ground, and said goodbye in front of their respective homes.

Goodnight, Yu-kun.

Goodnight, Lin.

Soon, the boys and girls, having finished washing up, lay in bed, their minds replaying the structure of the sealing runes and their time together on the training field. Then they closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep along with Konoha Village.

In the time that follows.

Yu Mikami's schedule is gradually becoming very full:

Every morning, I would rush to Konoha Hospital, join the medical jonin in making rounds and treating patients, then listen to one or two medical theory classes, or assist in a few internal and surgical operations.

In the afternoon, I either go to train near the Naka River or go to Orochimaru's place to help him organize the mountain of experimental data, or do some blood analysis experiments and process body tissue slices of some unknown organisms.

After returning home in the evening, I first read the book "Sealing" for two hours, and then interacted with the ninja girls in the La system. Regardless of whether I had time to "practice," I tried my best to max out the affection level in the "dialogue" section.

In addition, the squad has one to two routine missions per week on average: patrolling, bandit suppression, escorting supplies, and delivering intelligence.

None of these things can be accomplished in a short time. With each item on the schedule, Yu Mikami is spinning like a top, feeling like she's facing the countdown to the college entrance exam or postgraduate entrance exam.

Of course, there were also many gains.

First, the "harem" expanded.

During his third "Kushina Lesson," Mikami Yu successfully obtained the "Binding Seal," adding Kushina to his romance list and increasing the number of romanceable targets to 13.

Unfortunately, Yu Mikami is really not good at communicating with this gloomy and difficult girl. Even when he is practicing drawing sealing runes, she doesn't seem to react much, and her affection level is currently in the single digits.

but----

Orochimaru, on the other hand, gave Mikami Yu quite a surprise. When he paid his salary in the second month, he gave Mikami Yu a research report on "Neural Activation Technique".

Although its authenticity is unknown, according to Orochimaru himself, this is the latest research result in his possession.

And the corner system, as expected, reacted to this report—

[Ding! Special item detected - Body component: Neural Activation Technique: The Sealed Left Arm!]

'

What the hell is this "sealed left arm"? Are they trying to build a Gundam with it?

Although he was somewhat speechless, Yu Mikami still copied the six or seven-page research report as soon as he got home, and then pieced the original version onto the "Neural Activation Technique".

After a difficult search and battle, you obtained the missing left arm of the "Neural Activation Technique" from a snake's nest on the west side of Konoha Village and pieced it onto the disabled girl's body. The girl remained asleep with her eyes closed, seemingly unaware of what was happening, but a faint trace of color had appeared on her pale face, bringing her one step closer to awakening.

[Neural Activation Technique: Affection +5, Affection Max Increased by 11, Current Affection: 14/36 (Stranger)]

Yes, that's right.

Because the technique was incomplete, Mikami Yu didn't dare to practice "Neural Activation Technique" casually. During this time, he had been communicating with the technique through dialogue. Although the other party didn't respond no matter what he said, he would occasionally receive a "Friendship +1" notification, which slowly accumulated to the present.

Based on the current situation, at least four more body components for "Neural Activation Technique" are needed: the "Sealed Right Arm," the "Sealed Left Leg," the "Right Leg," and the "Heart." One or two more pieces need to be found to raise the affinity cap to 50.

However, Yu Mikami couldn't do this himself.

After all, "Neural Activation Technique" involves multiple disciplines such as neurology, cell biology, and even electromagnetism, and requires extremely high precision in chakra control. The complete version is at least a B-rank ninjutsu. It is already very difficult to understand the research content, let alone develop and innovate it.

He did consult Tsunade, but given her usual work habits of leaving after class, rarely visiting the hospital for days, and being smelled of alcohol by Mikami Yu in the office a few times, it was probably difficult to expect her to develop new techniques.

We can only hope that Orochimaru will try his best.

Aside from these two rather unique new targets, the strategies for mastering other ninjutsu are mostly quite steady:

[Currently available targets: Three Body Technique (100), Great Fireball Technique (100), Healing Technique: Affection (99/100), Phoenix Flower Technique: Intimacy (71), Water Wave Technique: Intimacy (70), Hatake Sword Technique: Friendly (37), Dragon Fire Technique: Friendly (29), Water Formation Wall: Friendly (28), Eight Gates: Strangers (22)]

The "Healing Technique" skill has been stuck at 99 points of affinity. The reason seems to be that the "Special Event: Treat 100 Patients" has not been completed yet, so the affinity is temporarily locked.

But it's not a big problem. After all, new patients arrive at Konoha Hospital every day, and Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin are often involved in frontline treatment. Reaching the maximum stats is just a matter of time. Considering that traits often undergo significant changes after the fourth stage, a slightly higher difficulty level is reasonable.

In addition, Phoenix Fire is the technique that Mikami Yu has practiced the most during this period, and it is already close to the "Affection" stage.

Then there are the two newly unlocked characteristics of Water and Fire Release techniques:

【Dragonfire Technique:】

(Stage reward obtained once: Constitution +1, Trait: Piercing Flame: Your Dragonfire Technique is exceptionally stable and less affected by external environmental factors when cast. The range of the flames is increased by 15% on top of the original range. If you spend time charging, the range will increase by an additional 1% for every second of charging, up to a maximum of 5 times.)

[Water Formation Wall:]

(Having obtained the stage reward once: Constitution +1, Trait: Water Fusion: Your Water Barrier has a strong self-management awareness. It will actively observe your combat habits and predict your vulnerable points. When released, its defensive strength is increased by an additional 25%, and there is a 20% chance that it will trigger automatically to block an unstoppable surprise attack for you.)

Both of these skills have decent characteristics: one increases range when charged, and the other increases defense.

While not as drastically enhanced as "Great Fireball" and "Water Rumble," it's still a significant improvement over the original. Once Housenfire and Hatake Sword Technique are upgraded again, I should have some time to practice them more.
