Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

If Yu Mikami can improve his actual combat performance to the top three, then his total score will basically be in first place.

Unfortunately, it can't be mentioned.

There have been precedents for this type of student before.

As for their career paths after graduation, most of them went into clerical jobs, such as working in the intelligence department to decipher signals, or staying at the ninja academy as teachers. A small number of those with higher scientific literacy went to the Konoha Research Institute to help Orochimaru with his experiments.

But this time...

"A profound understanding and skillful application of the Three Body Techniques, keen tactical thinking, and spontaneous improvement of the Substitution Technique's hand seals... I suspect he possesses a talent for space-time ninjutsu?"

Oh?

Is it really that highly rated?

It's important to know that space-time ninjutsu is not something that's commonplace.

That is a more powerful and rarer ninjutsu than the Five Elements Release or even the conventional Yin-Yang Release. In the decades since Konoha was founded, there have only been two people who have truly achieved outstanding mastery in this area: the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya's student.

The latter, thanks to his "Flying Thunder God Technique," rose to the rank of Jonin in his early teens and has now earned the moniker "Yellow Flash." The implications of having another talent like him are self-evident.

but……

"The principles of Substitution Jutsu and Space-Time Ninjutsu are different. Simply being good at the former doesn't mean you can learn 'Flying Thunder God Technique'..."

"But since both Oki and Himura have said so, we might consider taking some time to meet this child and see if he truly has the qualities to become an excellent ninja."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought so.

……

At the same time.

Hyuga family territory.

Hyuga Himon washed his face, looked at his slightly tired reflection in the mirror, and finally stepped out of his house to visit his cousin Hyuga Hizashi, who lived not far away.

"Fire Gate, you've arrived."

Hyuga Hizashi, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, was practicing Gentle Fist in the courtyard. The wooden dummy opposite him was already covered with pits and dents.

Seeing this, Hyuga Himon did not immediately step forward, but waited for a while until Hyuga Hizashi stopped, then quickly handed him a towel and bowed to greet him: "Good morning, Hizashi-nii."

"Good morning. What's wrong? Are you having trouble with your cultivation again? Tell me about it."

Hyuga Hizashi wiped his sweat and said casually.

As cousins ​​belonging to the same branch family, Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Himon had a very good relationship and often discussed training issues together. Hyuga Hizashi, being a few years older, became a ninja first, so he mostly acted as the teacher.

Now, he naturally assumed that this young man had come to ask him another question.

And in fact...

"...I do have some concerns."

Hyuga Hidetoshi pursed his lips and asked, "Hizashi-nii, under what circumstances would the Byakugan fail to recognize an enemy using a transformation jutsu at close range?"

"?"

Hyuga Hizashi paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"

Chapter 15 Medical Training Course

A few minutes later.

Hyuga Hizashi, having heard about the duel at the Ninja Academy from the Hyuga Fire Gate, fell into deep thought.

"I understand... I'll think about this problem first and tell you when I have a result. Calm down and focus on your training. Victory and defeat are common in war, don't worry about it too much."

"Yes."

After Hyuga Himon left.

Hyuga Hizashi pondered for a while in front of the wooden dummy, then tidied himself up and went out of the house.

……

"Ah-"

Yu Mikami sneezed.

At this moment, he and Nohara Rin were standing at their doorstep, preparing to go to Konoha Hospital to audit a medical training session.

"...That Obito guy, he's late again! We agreed on a time yesterday!"

Rin Nohara had changed into a light blue top, which made her look more lively than she did at school, but her small face showed some anxiety, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Compared to Lin,

Yu Mikami, on the other hand, stood to the side with his hands behind his head, looking up at the sky, looking completely calm and collected.

He had anticipated this situation. After all, Obito's lateness was a given; expecting him to be punctual was like expecting a pig to fly. Besides, he wasn't really there to study, so whether he came or not didn't really matter; it was just a matter of whether Nohara Rin wanted to keep waiting.

at last.

With time running out, Nohara Rin took one last look in the direction of the Obito family. Seeing that the spiky-haired guy was still nowhere to be seen, she stamped her foot and said, "Forget it, let's not wait for him. Yu-kun, let's go first, or we'll be late for class!"

"……it is good."

Yu Mikami nodded and followed.

The two crossed the small bridge and headed towards Konoha Hospital.

Although the technology in the Naruto world is a bit off, and the development of medicine is also severely unbalanced, the layout of hospitals is quite similar to that of modern society.

As soon as Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara stepped into the courtyard, before even entering the building, they were hit by a strong smell of disinfectant, which seemed to be mixed with a faint herbal fragrance.

Just as the two were about to go inside, a panting voice suddenly came from behind:

"Lin! Wait for me!"

Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara turned around upon hearing this and saw Obito Uchiha rushing towards them from behind. He stopped a short distance away, leaning on his knees and panting heavily. His signature goggles were askew on his forehead, and sweat soaked his messy, spiky hair.

"Obito-kun?"

Nohara Rin stopped in her tracks.

"Ha ha……"

Obito straightened up, trying to calm his breathing, and forced a smile as he said, "Rin, I'm sorry, I ran into a little trouble when I went out... I couldn't find you at your house, and Aunt Misae told me you had already left, so I rushed over!"

"...Let's go inside first."

Rin Nohara took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to blame Obito: "The training is about to begin."

The three entered the hospital lobby.

Nohara Rin looked around, walked to the front desk, and smiled sweetly at the nurse who was organizing documents: "Sister, we are Nohara Rin, Mikami Yu, and Uchiha Obito, students from the Konoha Ninja Academy. We booked today's Medical Ninja Basic Course. Which classroom should we go to?"

"An auditor?"

The sound didn't come from the front desk, but rather from the other side.

The group turned around and saw a boy who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a Konoha headband and with large patches of eyeshadow around his eyes, standing there, looking them over: "Come with me, my name is Baicao, I'm here for class too, I can take you there."

"Thank you for your help, Senior Baicao."

Nohara Rin quickly bowed and thanked her.

soon.

The group of four arrived at a classroom and saw that there were already about ten people inside, mostly teenagers. Several of them wore the insignia of the medical team on their chests, and they were estimated to be newly recruited medical ninjas in the past year.

"Please find yourselves a place to sit. Any empty seat is fine. The class is about to start."

As Baicao spoke, she walked straight to the first row.

Most of the other people in the classroom were sitting in the middle rows, with more empty seats at the front and back.

According to Mikami Yu and Obito's habits, they tend to sit in the back, but Nohara Rin went straight to the front row, so the two of them had no choice but to follow.

After sitting down.

Baicao turned her head and glanced at them a few times, then pushed a book in front of her, "Basic Human Structure and Trauma Identification," a little towards Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin, indicating that they should read it together.

"Thank you, senior."

Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara nodded their thanks.

The boy said casually, "I've only just become a genin. I'm not much older than you. Just call me Hyakucho."

"Yes, Senior Baicao."

At this moment, the medical ninja teacher on the podium cleared his throat and began today's lesson: "Last lesson, we talked about the skeletal and muscular structure of the human head and neck. This lesson, we'll talk about the torso, which is the internal organs. First, the heart, the most important organ in the human body, is located on the left side of the chest cavity..."

As they spoke, the teacher pointed to the anatomical diagrams on the wall with a pointer and gave a more detailed explanation.

There is also a skeleton model next to it, used to assist in teaching.

To be fair, this level of knowledge is quite difficult for beginners.

In particular, most of the younger ninjas generally did not have a high level of education.

Nohara Rin listened very attentively, quickly taking notes in her notebook, her brows furrowed slightly, clearly struggling with the task.

Obito, however, began to fidget within minutes. He found the obscure terminology and complex diagrams to be like gibberish, even more difficult to understand than the courses he had taken at the Ninja Academy. In the end, he simply gave up and instead began to peek at Rin Nohara's profile while resting his chin on his hand.

Only Yu Mikami seemed relaxed.

Thanks to the books he had read in the Konoha Library when he was young, as well as the knowledge he had accumulated in his previous life, the content taught by the Chunin was just a review for him. In some places, he even felt that the explanations were too brief and there was no need to take notes.

at last.

The class is over.

It was time for a short break.

Rin Nohara put down her pen, rubbed her aching wrist, and then looked at a few parts of her notes that she didn't quite understand. She subconsciously turned her head and said, "Yu-kun, do you remember when the teacher was explaining the branches of the celiac artery and the reflux pathway of the splenic vein? I didn't quite understand..."

"You mean this?"

Yuu glanced at Rin's notebook and immediately understood what she was asking: "The celiac artery mainly branches into three branches: the left gastric artery, the common hepatic artery, and the splenic artery. The splenic vein doesn't directly drain into the inferior vena cava; it first merges with the superior mesenteric vein to form the portal vein. Then, the blood from the portal vein is processed by the liver and finally drains into the inferior vena cava via the hepatic veins..."

"The diagram that was hanging on the blackboard was a simplified version and was easy to misunderstand."

Chapter 16 Death is like a cool summer night, a time for peaceful, carefree sleep.

As he spoke, Mikami Yu picked up a piece of scrap paper and drew a few simple strokes on it.

Nohara Rin's eyes lit up, and she suddenly realized, "Ah, I see! Thank you, Yu-kun!"

"and many more……"

As she was preparing to correct her notes, Nohara Rin suddenly realized what was happening, looked up at Mikami Yu with a face full of surprise: "Yu-kun, you remember so clearly? I didn't even see you write anything down?"

Baicao, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but chime in, "Hey, your name is Mikami Yu, right? Where did you learn all that knowledge? I've been training for more than half a year, and I still can't explain it so clearly."

"I usually read and study, especially borrowing many books from the Konoha Library, but they are all theoretical and I have never practiced them. It's just theoretical."

Mikami Yu said it casually.

At this time.

Left out and unable to get a word in edgewise, Obito was a little annoyed by their conversation and tried to assert his presence: "Hmph, what's so hard about that! It's just how blood flows in the body, I understand it at a glance! Rin, if you ask me, I can explain it to you clearly!"

"...Obito-kun, I noticed you were daydreaming during class, but you didn't say anything because you didn't want to disturb others. Basic knowledge is very important; you can't give up just because it seems difficult. How will you help others in the future if you don't pay attention?"

Nohara Rin's expression was serious, and her voice was gentle, as if she were trying to persuade someone with good intentions.

Obito immediately deflated: "I-I wasn't daydreaming..."

To be fair, Obito wasn't distracted just now.

Because he was intently watching Rin, he never looked away. It was only because Rin was kind-hearted that she didn't point it out, otherwise Obito would probably have been embarrassed and blushed on the spot.

There were about five or six minutes left in the break.

Mikami Yu stood up, preparing to go outside for a walk and familiarize himself with the environment of Konoha Hospital, so that it would be easier to find his way if he needed to come here in the future.

Incidentally, he also wanted to see if there was a chance to trigger one or two [Encounter] quests.

After going around in circles, the mission was not triggered.

Instead, Yu Mikami overheard some other information:
