Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

With a low shout, Shisui's figure swayed and split into more than a dozen people, launching a storm of attacks on Mikami Yu from all directions with different angles and techniques!

This move is the origin of the title "Shisui the Instantaneous Movement," and it is a secret technique developed by Shisui himself, possessing the characteristic that the phantom will not disappear after being attacked.

however……

"Alright, you use teleportation, I'll use teleportation too!"

Mikami Yu snorted coldly, and seven or eight clones around him exploded one after another. Under the effect of "Substitution Jutsu: Reverse World Instant Cast", the clones and the main body switched five or six times in an instant. It looked as if there were five or six Mikami Yus and a dozen Shisuis, fighting each other in close combat on the training ground!

The clanging of blades clashing was continuous, and the air currents stirred up by the blades splashed outwards, raising clouds of dust. Chisel marks of varying depths appeared on the ground, extending over a vast area.

"what?!"

Uchiha Inahisa rubbed her eyes violently, shouting in disbelief, "He... copied Shisui's 'Phantom Body Flicker Technique'?! How is that possible?!"

"...It's not a copy, but an extremely fast teleportation."

Fugaku Uchiha narrowed his eyes, his pupils revealing three tomoe, taking in the movements of both sides.

"So that's how it is. It's just a regular Three Bodies Technique that simulates the effect of 'Flying Thunder God'..."

"Truly worthy of being Minato's disciple, his ideas and execution are simply genius-level..."

It's a pity, if only this child were an Uchiha...

For a fleeting moment, Fugaku Uchiha had the thought, "A son should be like Yu Mikami."

When Shisui used "Phantom Body Flicker", he had already exhausted all his trump cards.

Yu Mikami also possesses superhuman strength and nerve activation techniques.

and so……

The outcome of this battle was already predetermined.

At a certain moment.

Yu Mikami swung his sword, the blade arcing through the air like a silver arc, cutting in from the most tricky angle, taking advantage of the barely perceptible gap in Shisui's change of attack! Although the latter saw it, he reacted a beat too slow, the sword grazing past his chest armor and finally resting against his neck.

"ended."

The outcome is decided.

The training ground was deathly silent, save for the rustling of the wind through the sand and two heavy breaths. The Uchiha watching were all speechless, their mouths agape.

"I admit defeat. As expected of Senior Yu, you are truly admirable."

Shisui exhaled, retracted all the illusions, and smiled wryly.

"No, it's just because I'm older than you. When I was your age, I was no match for you."

Mikami Yu said calmly.

This is the truth.

After all, a year ago, he hadn't even mastered the "Hatake Sword Technique." Even just now, he used "Neural Activation Technique" for a few seconds, otherwise it would have been really difficult to break Shisui's Phantom Body Flicker.

As for who will be stronger when Shisui grows to the same age as him...

That depends on whether the Sharingan's external advantages are more powerful, or the characteristics of the "Hatake Sword Technique" are stronger.

the other side.

Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward, glanced at Mikami Yu with a complicated look, and said in a deep voice, "Yu, excellent swordsmanship. It seems that Konoha has produced another remarkable swordsmanship genius... If you have time in the future, come here more often to exchange ideas. I think Shisui and the others will welcome you very much."

After a pause, Fugaku turned to the dejected Inahi and said seriously, "Inahi, do you see? There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding! You must remember today's defeat and reflect on it carefully!"

"Yes... Chieftain."

The rice fire bowed its head, its voice hoarse.

However, the Uchiha clan has always had a tradition of worshipping the strong, and Mikami Yu had just fully demonstrated his strength, so Inahisa's gaze towards Mikami Yu did not show resentment, but rather a bit of fervor, as if she wanted to have another battle to avenge her defeat as soon as possible.

"Ahem, Uncle Fugaku, you're too kind. I'll come back to ask for your guidance again."

After exchanging a few polite words, Mikami Yu took his leave.

Until they left the Uchiha clan's territory.

He then turned his attention to the hidden system and noticed the text box that had just popped up:

【旗木刀术好感度+4，当前好感度：68/100。特殊事件“天下第一的刀术”进度：2/8（已击败：木叶流剑术、宇智波流剑术）】

[Hatake Sword Technique: Hmph, you little white-haired brat, after practicing for so long, you're finally starting to look like you can use a sword properly.]

[Hatake Sword Technique: But don't get too cocky. That guy's Uchiha-style swordsmanship was alright, but it wasn't at its peak, let alone its use in conjunction with the Third Power... You still have a lot of practice to do to reach that level.]

"what?"

Mikami Yu was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask, "You also know about the 'Third Power'?"

Could it be that the ancestors of the Hatake family once used their family's swordsmanship to fight against the Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha from the Warring States period?

So how do you fight? Should you learn from a certain 5.5th generation Nagakage who wishes to remain anonymous and use a short sword to stab Susanoo?

Chapter 181 Hiroshi Nohara's Plea

As Yu Mikami thought this, he subconsciously imagined the scene and found it somewhat amusing.

However, the "Hatake Sword Technique" didn't seem to think this was a joke, and responded very seriously:

[Hatake Sword Technique: The so-called "Susanoo" is merely a condensation of ocular power. In the world of martial arts, nothing is invincible except speed. As long as the sword technique is refined enough, even a god can be cut down with a single strike!]

"...Really?"

Yu Mikami was skeptical.

Honestly...

He didn't think too highly of the "Hatake Sword Technique".

After all, Sakumo Hatake back then was already considered a master in this field, but his strength was only at the Kage level, specializing in assassination. He could kill people as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, but he lacked the means to deal with large-scale AOE attacks, as well as tailed beasts and large summoning beasts.

Minato Namikaze is actually positioned in a similar way.

However, the latter has mastered sealing techniques, has a contract with the toads of Mount Myōboku, and is developing the "Rasengan," giving him a fighting chance even in high-level battles where monsters appear. At the very least, he can manage a one-for-one exchange, like when dealing with the Nine-Tails.

therefore,

Mikami Yu pondered that the limit of "Hatake Sword Technique" might just be a plus-sized version of White Fang.

It's sufficient for most situations, but it's useless against Susanoo or Tailed Beast Balls. You can't exactly fight a Gundam with a sword.

But now it sounds like...

If you master the "Hatake Sword Technique" to its fullest extent, it seems you could actually have a go at Susanoo?

It's also possible that he's just bragging.

After all, Susanoo in its skeletal form is fine, as Danzo Shimura once damaged it with Wind Release, and the Five Kage also managed to shatter the Susanoo that Madara Uchiha used when he wasn't taking it seriously.

However, if facing a Susanoo in its third or higher form, or even a complete Susanoo, then the situation is entirely different. It's hard to imagine a sword being able to cut through that thing; even if it were possible at the level of "swordsmanship," the material of the White Fang Short Sword probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Hmm... Come to think of it, Mikami Yu's current sword is still borrowed from Kakashi. He'll probably have to wait a while before he has enough money to forge his own ninja sword and return the White Fang short sword.

Or perhaps we could steal a sword from somewhere, like the seven ninja swords from Kirigakure, or maybe the Land of Iron has some good swords too, we could get a few as spares...

at the moment.

The "Hatake Sword Technique" seems unwilling to say much about Susanoo.

Mikami Yu didn't press the matter further. Instead, he walked back while chatting with the other Jutsu and increasing his daily favorability.

Currently, Yu Mikami has six ninjutsu with maximum affinity.

Two Fire Release techniques, one Water Release technique, plus the Three Body Technique.

The "Healing Spell" was actually close, but it was held up by a "Special Event," preventing it from reaching the final point. However, the "Healing Spell" at the "Affection" stage is more than enough. As long as you don't encounter situations like Kato Dan or Senju Nawaki, most injuries can be healed.

"Next, let's raise the affinity for Dragonfire Technique and Water Wall. Let's see if we can unlock a 'Bond' once we have three Fire Release techniques at max affinity..."

"The 'Neural Activation Technique' can't be rushed; we have to wait for Orochimaru's progress..."

"And sealing techniques and summoning techniques..."

Mikami Yu pondered, deciding to go back and talk to Tsunade to see if he could get the contract for Shikkotsu Forest first. After all, this wasn't like the "Yin Seal" or the "Hundred Healings Technique," which had a high barrier to entry; anyone who knew summoning techniques could use it. It would be an extra layer of protection for the upcoming second phase of the Ninja War.

As for the inheritance of the Senju clan, that will have to wait. There's so much to learn; you can't expect to become an expert overnight.

……

Over the next few days, the atmosphere in Konoha Village gradually became tense.

News of the Ninja World War entering its second phase, and the joint attack on the Land of Fire by the Sand Village and the Cloud Village, spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Many Konoha villagers cursed Sunagakure and Kumogakure, muttering about how the Third Raikage and Kazekage could be so wicked.

—Well, the Third Kazekage should have become a puppet in Sasori's hands by now. However, because the latter has kept the news under wraps, most people don't know about this situation. The truth will only be revealed when Sasori reappears more than ten years later and uses the Three Winds Puppet.

Along with these messages came a flurry of conscription orders, which flew to various ninja clans and civilian ninja families. Teams of ninjas packed up, bid farewell to their families, and headed to the assembly point, preparing to head to the suddenly tense borders in the southwest and northeast.

The atmosphere at the Nohara residence was somewhat heavy.

There is no other reason.

Hiroshi Nohara's name was prominently listed on the reinforcement list for the southwestern battlefield.

That's normal.

Hiroshi Nohara's strength is considered quite good among Chunin, and his previous mission experience is also relatively rich. Given Konoha's mobilization for war, he was naturally an easy candidate to be selected for this kind of mission.

Nohara Rin was somewhat worried about this.

However, Hiroshi Nohara himself was much more carefree, repeatedly reassuring his daughter. Even as they were setting off, he gently reached out and ruffled Rin Nohara's hair, saying, "Don't worry, Rin. Daddy is a Chunin, and I've been through a lot."

"Besides, thanks to you and Yu-kun, Dad is not the same as before. He knows a lot more ninjutsu now."

That's right.

Mikami Yu had previously taught Nohara Rin the "Water Wall" and "Water Dragon Bullet" techniques—of course, these were the standard versions of ninjutsu, but the special abilities couldn't be taught.

After that, with Mikami Yu's consent, Nohara Rin taught the two techniques to her father.

Therefore, Hiroshi Nohara's ninjutsu reserves have improved significantly, and his strength has risen to the level of an elite Chunin. As long as he doesn't encounter an overly powerful enemy, he should be able to survive under normal circumstances.

Of course, it can't compare to someone like Mikami Tajima who retired directly. However, the latter had some luck involved; that kind of experience is probably impossible for most people to replicate. Most would likely have died halfway through and wouldn't have had the chance to change their fate later.

now.

Hiroshi Nohara said goodbye to his daughter at the door, then turned his gaze to Yu Mikami beside him, his eyes becoming serious: "Yu."

"Yes, Uncle Hiroshi."

Mikami Yu straightened up.

"Please take good care of Lin."

Hiroshi Nohara took a deep breath, his voice becoming low and earnest, carrying a father's deepest entrustment, "When I'm not around, please... do your best to protect her. This is not a request, but a plea."

Chapter 182 Mikami Yu's Promise, Uchiha Madara's Scheme (Part 2)

Hiroshi Nohara's statement has a hint of setting a flag.

If the latter also carried photos of Nohara Rin and Nohara Misae with him, and took them out to look at them from time to time while on the front lines, then that would be an even more standard flag...

Yu Mikami paused for a moment before nodding and saying slowly in a very serious tone, "Uncle Hiroshi, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I will do everything in my power to prevent Rin from getting hurt. If you want to touch her, you'll have to step over my dead body."

This is a very important promise.

After all, for Rin Nohara, the greatest threat wasn't the enemies on the battlefield, but Madara Uchiha. As long as Obito remained Madara's chosen successor and harbored feelings for Rin, it would be very difficult for Rin to survive.

Stopping all of this will be no easy task. It will require risking one's life.

of course……

Considering that Mikami Yu is now a member of Minato's team, whether he admits it or not, he has already formed some bond with Obito. Therefore, it's possible that Madara Uchiha might use him as a scapegoat to provoke Obito.

It's hard to say whether Madara Uchiha can still use the Rinnegan's abilities, but he can definitely activate the Complete Susanoo. Theoretically, if he has any Sharingan he retained from before, he can also use Izanagi and Izanami. There are very few people in the current ninja world who can stand against him.

If he were to face him one day, Mikami Yu thought he should study "Reverse Summoning" and "Flying Thunder God" more carefully, and figure out how to make a quick escape.

"Yu!"

In reality, Nohara Rin's cheeks instantly flushed red, half from gratitude and half from embarrassment. She quickly interrupted him playfully, "Really, what unlucky things are you saying so early in the morning! I hope both you and Daddy are safe and sound!"
