Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

With this, the commercial empire of Coca-Cola has received the endorsement of the highest levels of Konoha, and can now be used to bolster its reputation.

After the matter was settled, the group walked out of the Hokage's office together.

Minato Namikaze patted Yu Mikami on the shoulder and gently advised, "Yu, go back and prepare well. The mission in Kusagakure is very dangerous, so don't be careless. Kushina and I have some things to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."

"it is good."

Minato Namikaze and Kushina left.

Only Tsunade and Yu Mikami remained in the corridor.

At that moment, Tsunade unceremoniously put her arm around Mikami Yu's shoulder, pressing her heavy upper body against his back, and then exhaled a warm breath:

"Hey, you little white-haired brat! I went to great lengths today to get you official 'raw cola' certification from that old man. So, how are you going to thank me?"

Chapter 162 Let's repay each other with our bodies

"Forehead……"

Yu Mikami straightened his back slightly, feeling the large, soft yet firm touch of her back, and his heart raced a little: "I can't repay Lady Tsunade's kindness. If 30% of the profits isn't enough... then I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to repay her with my body."

"puff--"

Tsunade was amused by Mikami Yu's words and flicked him on the forehead with a crisp sound. "What nonsense are you talking about? 'Offering yourself in return,' are you trying to take advantage of me? You little brat who hasn't even grown his first hair yet, you're dreaming!"

"..."

Yuko Mikami asked, "Are you sure?"

However, given Tsunade's fiery temper, he dared not make such a joke.

the other side.

Tsunade seemed to be in a good mood.

After all, the Mikami family had already discussed profit sharing with her and signed an agreement. The higher the sales of "Raw Cola" in the future, the more profit she would receive, which is why Tsunade brought up this topic with Hiruzen Sarutobi just now.

present.

Tsunade straightened up, her golden ponytail swaying with the movement: "Considering you helped find the whereabouts of the other Uzumaki clan members, and the 30% profit, I won't hold it against you... Come on, come with me to the casino for a couple of rounds, I feel like my luck is pretty good today."

"But I still need to go back to cultivate..."

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Just as Mikami Yu was about to politely decline, Tsunade grabbed his arm and dragged him away without saying a word. "With your strength, you could pass the Chunin Exams with your eyes closed. What's the point of training?... Play a couple of rounds with me first, and I'll give you special training later!"

"..."

……

Two hours later.

Inside the gambling den located in a corner of Konoha Village.

Tsunade stared at the few remaining chips in front of her, her face darkening, veins throbbing on her forehead, and she gritted her teeth as she squeezed out a few words: "...Damn it, I lost again!"

Beside her.

The chips in front of Mikami Yu were nearly double what they were when he came over.

Well... this time, Mikami Yu didn't use cheating methods like "neural activation technique". He just relied on a little calculation ability, plus the strategy of "Tsunade bets big, I bet small; Tsunade bets odd, I bet even". After playing for a while, although he didn't win every game, he did have a 70-80% win rate.

From this perspective, Tsunade's title of "fat sheep" is well-deserved.

By the way,

[Super Strength] is also a big fat sheep.

Whenever Yu Mikami comes to a place like this, or plays board games with Rin Nohara and the others, "Super Strength Technique" gets particularly excited, frequently chattering and gesturing through the Gag System, but the success rate is quite pitiful, just like Tsunade.

now.

Tsunade abruptly turned her head, glaring fiercely at Mikami Yu, her eyes seeming to want to devour him alive: "Hey, you brat... did you secretly use some kind of trick? Why is your win rate so high?"

"...It was just luck. You know I've always been lucky."

Mikami Yu said without changing his expression.

"Humph!"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and stood up angrily: "I'm not playing anymore! This place is bad luck for me today! I'm leaving!"

Mikami Yu sighed, quickly exchanged his chips for cash, and then followed Tsunade.

By this time, it was already dark. The cool evening breeze dispersed the stale air in the gambling den, but it couldn't dispel the oppressive atmosphere emanating from Tsunade. She strode forward, her expression like that of a lioness about to erupt in fury.

"Cough cough..."

Yu Mikami cleared his throat and said softly, "Um, Lady Tsunade, didn't you just say you were going to help me with my special training? I happen to have something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Ok?"

"I captured a ninja beast in the Forest of Death, and I want to try forming a summoning contract with it..."

"Oh, you mean that lizard?"

Tsunade glanced at Mikami Yu and said irritably, "What's the point of signing for a trash summoning beast that can only change color and has no other special abilities? It's just a waste of chakra! If you really want to find a summoning beast, you should sign with Shikkotsu Forest."

"……May I?"

Yu Mikami asked tentatively.

The slug sage of Shikkotsu Forest was indeed one of the summoning beasts he had anticipated, but he was unsure whether the slug could teach him Sage Mode, so he was hesitant to make a decision. Since Tsunade had brought it up, he took the opportunity to ask, hoping to gather some information.

Upon hearing this,

Tsunade snorted coldly, looked away, and changed the subject: "Regarding the 'raw cola' bet... I'm most likely going to lose. According to our original agreement, I need to grant you a request. If you're willing to use that bet in exchange for a contract opportunity with Shikkotsu Forest, then it's fine."

"...What if my request is to become your disciple?"

Yu Mikami countered with a question.

Tsunade laughed: "Heh... So you want it all, huh? Become my disciple, and you can legitimately sign a contract with Shikkotsu Forest, and you can also learn my other ninjutsu."

"As expected of Lady Tsunade, she understands immediately."

Yu Mikami chuckled, tacitly agreeing.

Stop flattering me!

Tsunade stopped, her golden eyes looking at Mikami Yu, and pondered for a moment: "Alright. Although the lizard you caught is only so-so in strength, its stealth ability is indeed somewhat useful when dealing with ordinary ninjas, and it should come in handy in the operation to infiltrate Kusagakure."

"Alright, then I'll teach you for now. Anyway, you can always replace these low-level summoning beasts with low intelligence... There are too many people around here, let's find a quiet place to talk."

soon.

The two of them arrived at an open space not far from the Thousand Hands Clan's territory, one after the other.

As Mikami Yu unfurled the scroll, the enormous giant lizard covered in dark green scales reappeared. It was still wounded and lay listlessly on the ground, trembling slightly, overwhelmed by the aura emanating from Mikami Yu and Tsunade.

"Let's begin. This kind of wild ninja beast doesn't require a complicated contract ritual. Just write the contract, sign your name, and then try to establish a chakra connection with it..."

Under Tsunade's guidance,

Yu Mikami bit his thumb, first writing his name on a blank summoning contract scroll, then forming several hand seals, gathering chakra in his palms, and pressing them against the giant lizard's rough, cold forehead.

The latter instinctively wanted to shrink back, but under Tsunade's impatient snort, he froze and didn't dare to move. Then, Mikami Yu placed his palm on the scales, sensed the other's chakra, and established an invisible connection that was not visible to the naked eye.

With this action in reality.

The corner system responded in a timely manner.

Chapter 163: Yu Mikami's Second Summoning Beast, "Raw Cola's" Territory Expansion (Part 2)

[You used the summoning spell once more. With ripples in the space, one of the chains wrapped around your right hand was pulled to the surface. At the end of the chain was the image of a lizard, the "Shadow Giant Lizard" you had tamed.]

[Summoning Technique: Hmm... Little White Fur, this is the first summoning beast you chose? Your standards are a bit low, but it'll do. For you right now, this guy is somewhat useful. I'll take good care of your contract with it and make it obediently follow your orders.]

By the way, if you have time, you can look for a type of purple berry that grows in wetland mud called 'Purple Mud Fruit'. It has unique patterns and is easy to identify. This is something they like to eat, and it helps improve their strength.

[Spirit Spell Affection +4, Current Affection: 8/100 (Stranger)]

Several lines of text flashed by in turn.

From the prompts in the corner system, Mikami Yu extracted two key pieces of information:

First, this lizard has a species called the "Shadow Giant Lizard." The chameleon among the summoned beasts that Pain will eventually subdue is very likely its kin, or even the same one.

After all, at this point in time, Nagato hasn't become "Pain" yet, and his collection of summoning beasts for the Animal Path is still quite some time away. It's possible that this lizard wandered from Konoha to the vicinity of the Land of Rain and was then targeted by Pain.

Secondly, each contracted summoned beast will be reflected in the chains of the "Summoning Technique," which can strengthen the binding power of the contract to a certain extent and also increase the favorability of the "Summoning Technique."

This is good news.

And then there's...

"'Purple Mud Fruit'?"

Mikami Yu secretly memorized the name.

Although the "spirit communication" technique didn't specify whether it would enhance the lizard's regular attributes like strength, speed, and stamina, or strengthen its core stealth mechanism, it's always worth a try. After all, I usually train at the forest training ground anyway, so it's just a convenient thing to do.

after that.

Yu Mikami began to try to give commands to the "Shadow Giant Lizard".

As Tsunade said, this thing is indeed not very intelligent; it can only be considered a beast with some intelligence. Under the influence of chakra, it has some special abilities, but it is far from being able to communicate freely with humans. Let alone speak human language like a toad or a slug.

However, he could generally understand and carry out the instructions clearly issued by Mikami Yu.

Yes, there must be some help from "spiritualism" involved.

There's no need to test anything else.

Its main feature is its stealth capability.

With Mikami Yu's instruction

The chakra within the giant lizard fluctuated a few times before gradually merging into its surroundings, eventually leaving only a blurry outline. If Mikami Yu hadn't known its location beforehand and consciously sensed it, it would have been almost impossible to detect.

Even when it crawls or walks, this "outline" still retains features invisible to the naked eye, looking like an enhanced version of Jiraiya's "Transparent Release". However, like "Transparent Release", it has the weakness of not being able to conceal chakra fluctuations, so it cannot be fooled by sensory-type ninjas.

"Hmm... the invisibility effect is not bad, slightly better than I expected. I suggest you ask the Inuzuka and Aburame clans for help when you have time, and try to see if its ability can hide from the perception technique. Don't bother trying the Byakugan and Sharingan, they definitely won't work."

Tsunade crossed her arms and spoke casually.

Yu Mikami nodded.

The giant lizard's invisibility couldn't fool ocular techniques, a fact Obito had already demonstrated to his face. If the Sharingan was like that, the Byakugan, with its even stronger perception, would undoubtedly be able to see through it as well.

As for other sensory abilities...

In the original story, the chameleon that Pain encountered was detected by Shima while it was in stealth mode and was instantly defeated by "Water Severing Wave".

However, this is not the norm, because Shima Sage is second only to the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, and is considered one of the Great Toad Sage's right-hand men alongside Fukasaku Sage. Just because he can sense things doesn't mean that ordinary sensory ninjas can sense them too. Therefore, testing the limits of his abilities is still quite necessary.

"Since your head is all green, I'll call you 'Little Green'."

Yu Mikami gave the monitor lizard a name.

the other side.

Seeing that Yu Mikami was almost done, Tsunade lost interest, yawned, and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, the summoning contract is complete. You can figure out the rest on your own. I'm going back to sleep."

"Oh, right..."

Tsunade seemed to remember something, paused suddenly, turned to look at Mikami Yu, her gaze sharp: "There's one more thing... Don't you dare to do what Jiraiya did, using this kind of invisibility to peep at girls. If you dare to do that, don't blame me for beating you up!"

As she spoke, Tsunade clenched her fist.

"……understood."

Mikami Yu remained silent.

If he wanted to spy on the women's bathhouse, would he need to go through all that trouble like Jiraiya? He could just use his transformation technique to sneak in and watch openly, without getting caught...

After reminding him of this,

Tsunade then turned around, took long strides, and quickly disappeared on the path leading to the Senju clan's territory.

After watching her walk away, Mikami Yu turned back and patted the monitor lizard's cold, rough forepaws. "Go find some food in the nearby forest and take good care of your injuries. I'll summon you when I need you."

"Gu..."
