Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

How old are they, and they're already thinking about marriage?

Yu was momentarily speechless and could only manage a few perfunctory words before quickly slipping into his room, shutting out Aoi Mikami's smiling gaze.

Afterwards, he took out the wristband that Kurenai Yuhi had given him, tried it on, and after feeling that the size and feel were just right, he took it off and put it in his ninja tool pouch. Then he opened the door again, said goodbye to his mother, and began to head towards the Senju clan's territory to keep his appointment with Tsunade.

It's getting a bit late now.

The sun had already sunk below the horizon, and moonlight flowed down like mercury, illuminating the streets of Konoha Village with twinkling lights.

Several children ran past the roadside, playing and laughing. A stray cat was perched on the wall not far away, and the whole place exuded a tranquil atmosphere.

Yu Mikami walked through the long street, easily finding his way to the Senju clan's territory. He passed by the small courtyard of Kana and Naoto Uzumaki, which he had just helped tidy up that afternoon, and arrived at Tsunade's residence, knocking on the door.

dong dong——

No one answered.

After waiting for half a minute, when Mikami Yu knocked on the door again, he heard Tsunade's voice coming from inside, tinged with a lazy, damp tone: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Yu Mikami."

A brief silence.

"...Come in."

squeak-

As the door turned, Yu Mikami stepped into the courtyard, feeling a rush of air mixed with the fragrance of herbs and warm, humid air. When he looked up, the sight before him made him gasp slightly.

A small lamp hung from the wooden beam above the corridor, illuminating the things below.

Tsunade had clearly just finished bathing and was sitting at a low table, drying her wet, long blonde hair with a large towel.

She was wearing a rather loose, plain-colored bathrobe with the neckline slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone and a breathtakingly full curve below.

The yukata, made of a slightly thin material, subtly outlined the voluptuous curves of her body under the light. Her fair skin, glistening with moisture, glowed with a healthy rosy hue, and her slender waist, though loosely draped, revealed astonishing flexibility. Add to that her fair feet casually draped along the edge of the corridor…

She exudes a languid and alluring charm unique to mature women.

Mikami Yu's gaze was unconsciously drawn to the ample bosom beneath the yukata. He lingered there for a couple of seconds, his Adam's apple bobbing, before quickly shifting his focus to Tsunade's face: "Tsunade-sama."

"You little rascal, you really know how to pick your time."

Tsunade seemed oblivious to Mikami Yu's lapse in composure, simply wiping her hair as she said irritably, "I told you to come later, that meant you should come sooner. Why are you so late? It's almost eight o'clock. Are you planning to just sleep here?"

"...I was just worried that it would be inconvenient to come too early."

Yu Mikami coughed lightly and explained.

"So it's convenient now?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Mikami Yu, then pointed to the opposite side of the low table and casually said, "Come on, sit here."

"it is good."

Yu Mikami did as instructed, obediently sat down cross-legged, and somewhat laboriously shifted his gaze from the two striking giant peaks opposite him to the table below.

He had noticed it earlier; there were many books and scrolls on the low table, seemingly prepared by Tsunade.

Now that he was up close, he could see the covers of these books clearly. Most of them were slightly yellowed and curled at the edges, obviously quite old, but the writing on them was still clearly visible:

"Detailed Explanation of Human Meridians (Annotated by Tobirama Senju)", "Essentials of Chakra Scalpel (Draft)", "Toxicology and First Aid", "An Initial Exploration of Cell Activation"... Each book is substantial, and the titles alone convey the weight of knowledge.

"This is……"

"This is something I collected and wrote in my early years; it can be considered a secret of the Senju clan."

Tsunade put down the towel, letting her half-dry blonde hair fall loosely over her shoulders, causing the collar of her yukata to slip down a little: "Since you want to become my apprentice, then don't even think about being lazy. The most important thing for a medical ninja is knowledge reserves. Only after you have thoroughly mastered these will you be qualified to learn more."

"..."

Yu Mikami looked at the stack of books, which was almost half a meter high, and his face darkened: No, how long will it take to finish this?

[Ding! A special gift item has been detected that can be given as a gift: Healing Technique: The Medical Heritage of the Senju Clan (Basic)!]

Huh?

Oh, so this thing counts as a gift? Never mind then.

I'll copy a few books down for "Healing Technique" to learn first, and then let Healing Technique teach me. That should be much faster than trying to figure it out on my own.

Yu Mikami secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

opposite.

Tsunade, unaware that Mikami Yu had found a way to cheat, continued to watch him with amusement, her body leaning slightly forward. The collar of her yukata opened a little wider with this movement, revealing her snow-white skin and deep cleavage, which appeared even more dazzling under the light.

"What, do you think it's too much? Are you scared?"

"No, that's not it... it's just that the task seems very difficult, and I don't know how long it will take."

"Hmph, good to know."

Tsunade sat up straight again and said slowly, "How about this, I'll set you a small goal: within two months, thoroughly understand all these books and master their core points. If you can do that... then I can teach you some of my most treasured secrets as a reward."

"A reward..."

Can I carry this myself?

Yu Mikami glanced at Tsunade's radiant face, so close to his, her fair and slender neck, and the curves beneath her yukata... A daring thought flashed through his mind uncontrollably, but he forcibly suppressed it: "I understand."

After a pause, Mikami Yu asked again, "By the way, can I let others see these books?"

"'Others'? You mean Nohara Rin, right?"

Tsunade hit the nail on the head.

Yu Mikami nodded, making no attempt to hide anything: "Yes, Rin is also quite talented in medical ninjutsu, and her foundation is very solid. If we study together, the efficiency should be higher."

"Alright, I know you two are close. Even if I don't agree, you'll still secretly teach her, right? Let me make this clear: don't lose or damage it while you're watching. In two months, I'll personally test you two. If you fail... don't blame me for teaching you what 'respecting your teachers' means."

Tsunade clenched her fist, her knuckles making a crisp cracking sound, the threat unmistakable.

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

Mikami raised his head and replied.

"Alright, let's hurry back with these things, it's getting dark."

Tsunade dismissed them, then picked up the towel again to wipe the water droplets from her hair, her posture languid and casual.

Given that it is indeed getting late,

Moreover, given Tsunade's current attire, staying any longer would indeed be inappropriate; something bad could easily happen.

So, Mikami Yu stood up with his book in his arms, greeted Tsunade, and then turned to leave. Only after he stepped out of the courtyard and felt the night breeze did he finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling the heat on his face subside slightly.

Indeed, compared to Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai, who are still teenagers, Tsunade's mature feminine charm is far more alluring. Especially after just emerging from a bath and dressed loosely, it's hard not to let one's imagination run wild and conjure up some inappropriate images for children.

"Let's go home first. Tomorrow I have to teach Rin ninjutsu, and there's also the duel with Kurenai Yuhi..."

Yu Mikami shook his head, suppressed his distracting thoughts, and hurried home.

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, after having breakfast at home, Mikami Yu went out to meet Nohara Rin, and together they went to the training ground on the west side of the village. As agreed the day before, he would teach Nohara Rin a new water-style ninjutsu.

The teaching process is not complicated.

Mikami Yu's proficiency in "Water Wall" and "Water Dragon Bullet" was already quite high, making him more than capable of instructing Nohara Rin. After several demonstrations and explanations, Nohara Rin practiced repeatedly by herself by the stream, while Mikami Yu went to the other side of the area to practice his swordsmanship.

The morning passed quietly amidst the roar of the flowing water and the sound of blades cutting through the air.

Around noon, the two stopped one after the other, found a shady spot to sit down and rest before having lunch.

Nohara Rin naturally took out two lunch boxes from her ninja tool bag and handed one to Mikami Yu: "Um, Yu-kun, this is a bento I specially prepared this morning. Consider it payment for your lessons. Thank you for taking the time to teach me ninjutsu."

"Also... there's this."

Nohara Rin took out another bulging little bag, held it out with both hands, and handed it over, this time with a hint of nervousness in her voice:

"A few days ago you went out of the village with Minato-sensei on a mission, and I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on your promotion to Special Jonin. This is a medical kit I made myself. In addition to the usual bandages, disinfectant, and antidote, it also contains some special wound medicine and soldier's rations. I hope you can use them!"

"Ok?"

Yu Mikami vaguely remembered this scene.

It seems that in the original storyline, Rin Nohara prepared a medical kit as a gift for Kakashi's promotion to Jonin. So... has he prepared it instead?

Although Yu Mikami felt that being promoted to Special Grade wasn't anything special and there was no need to congratulate him, since it was Rin Nohara's kind gesture, he solemnly thanked her, accepted the medical kit, and promised to use it properly.

Seeing this, Nohara Rin's face lit up with a bright smile, as if the sunlight itself shone even brighter: "Yes! I'm glad I could help Yu-kun!"

"Let's eat first."

Yu Mikami opened his lunchbox and started eating with Rin Nohara.

As they were eating, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar, accompanied by a loud, boisterous voice that broke the tranquility of the training ground:

"Hey—! Yu! Lin! You two were secretly cultivating here again! That's too much! You didn't even call me!"

Obito, however, rushed into the training field in a flurry of activity, his goggles askew on his forehead, looking utterly displeased.

"What do you mean by secretly cultivating?"

Mikami Yu glanced at him, continuing to chew his rice ball. "Isn't this training ground the one we use regularly? There's no sign prohibiting you from entering. Besides, didn't you come here on your own?"

"That's different!"

Obito stood with his hands on his hips, righteously declaring, "You should have notified me in advance! I'm a man destined to become Hokage, how can I fall behind! Yu, after dinner, let's spar. My Fire Release has improved a lot these past few days, I'm sure I'll surprise you this time!"

Chapter 176 Obito: Losing a taijutsu doesn't count as losing! Can a ninja's matter be considered a loss?

"no."

Faced with Obito's challenge, Mikami Yu continued eating while casually saying, "You should beat Might Guy first before you come looking for me."

"Forehead……"

Obito was speechless.

Although he has always looked down on Might Guy, thinking that the other only knows how to use taijutsu and has no skill involved, he has to admit that since the Ninja Academy graduation exam, his win rate against Might Guy is still 0.

He had made thorough preparations for the battle a few days ago, even activating his Sharingan, but his opponent unexpectedly pulled out the "Eight Gates," causing him to suffer a crushing defeat. His anticipated battle to make a name for himself turned into a pipe dream...

Therefore, in response to what Mikami Yu said, Obito could only spout some incomprehensible phrases such as "losing a taijutsu doesn't count as losing, winning a taijutsu is a small win, winning a ninjutsu is a big win," "I was careless and didn't dodge," and "the four uses of the Sharingan," which filled the training ground with a cheerful atmosphere.

of course……

Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara, out of consideration for Obito's pride, didn't laugh too obviously.

Rin Nohara stepped in to smooth things over, promising to spar with Obito in the afternoon to see his Fire Release techniques and practice her Water Wall before discussing the challenge against Yu Mikami—the Water Dragon Bullet was a bit too difficult, and Rin hadn't mastered it yet.

Yu Mikami does not object to this.

He also wanted to see just how much substance Obito's boast was, and how well his Sharingan had been developed.

Theoretically, Obito with two tomoe could utilize a portion of his Hollowfication ability; in the original timeline, this is how he escaped being crushed by a rock. From this perspective, Obito is arguably an unprecedentedly overpowered character…

The group was talking when

Suddenly, a faint rumbling sound came from the depths of the dense forest behind me, followed by a flock of birds taking flight from the trees and soaring into the sky.

"...Huh? What happened?"

Obito was the first to jump up, activating his Sharingan and looking in the direction from which the sound came.

Yuya Mikami ate his meal slowly and deliberately, glancing back at the scene.

That sound just now sounded a bit like an explosive tag. However, it was quite far away, probably a kilometer or two, so the sound became somewhat distorted after echoing through the woods.

But soon...

The sound approached, accompanied by the cracking of trees breaking and the whistling of ninja tools cutting through the air. A ninja wearing a Konoha vest and covered in blood staggered out of the woods, followed by two figures wearing animal masks.

"Huh? It's a fellow Konoha member! Someone actually dared to launch an attack in Konoha!"

Obito glanced at it, and his blood boiled instantly. He roared and lunged at a masked ninja who was closest to him, trying to stop him.

The latter's eyes turned cold, and he drew a tricky arc with his kunai, aiming straight for Obito's throat: "You're asking for death!"

This masked ninja moved with incredible speed and seemed quite skilled. If an ordinary Chunin were here, they would likely have already been stabbed.

But Obito's Sharingan wasn't for nothing. In a hasty move, he sidestepped, his neck almost grazing the kunai, narrowly avoiding it. He then threw several shuriken in retaliation.
