Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

To be fair, the average income of ninjas is quite good.

Genin might have a tougher time, as they can only do tasks like catching cats and dogs, with limited income; but starting from Chunin, a C-rank mission can pay tens of thousands of ryo. After deducting the village's cut, the teammates' share, and necessary expenses like food, drink, and equipment, one can still save up a considerable amount.

Ninjas like Mikami Tajima, who were stationed on the border for extended periods, would receive additional subsidies. While the amount wasn't particularly large, it was enough to ensure their families could live a relatively comfortable life.

of course,

This leniency is for ordinary people, and it can't compare to that of the ninja clans.

It's said that some scions of powerful clans are raised on delicacies from a young age, including deer antlers and bear paws, and often enjoy medicinal baths and massages, resulting in incredibly robust bodies. If they were to acquire a bloodline limit, they would essentially be Konoha's little superhumans.

Yu Mikami pondered that if Mikami Tajima returned safely this time, he would discuss with him whether they could find a more lucrative side job. After all, the Third Shinobi World War was approaching, and a ninja of Mikami Tajima's strength was basically just cannon fodder; perhaps it would be better to change professions.

That evening.

The Nohara Rin family came to visit the Mikami family.

Rin Nohara's father, Hiroshi Nohara, was also a Chunin, but he was stronger than Tajima Mikami. If Tajima Mikami was a beginner Chunin, then Hiroshi Nohara was a peak mid-Chunin. Although he was still quite weak, with some effort, he might have a chance to become a Special Jonin in his lifetime.

What's even more noteworthy is his name.

When Yu first learned that this man was named Hiroshi, he even suspected that Rin Nohara might have a younger brother named Shinnosuke Nohara. However, after actually getting to know him, he discovered that this Uncle Hiroshi was not the one he had imagined. He was quite composed in his actions and speech, and he didn't have a decades-long mortgage to pay off.

During the meal.

Hiroshi Nohara said with a smile that he would like to have a couple of drinks with Mikami Tajima when he returned.

Well, another flag.

Yu Mikami muttered a few words to himself, but kept a straight face and kept saying polite things, which made Hiroshi Nohara laugh out loud: "Ha, your Yu knows how to talk, unlike my Rin, who only knows how to eat."

"?"

Nohara Rin, who was sipping her soup, looked up, a question mark slowly appearing above her head.

Mikami Aoi smiled and said at the right moment, "Brother Hiroshi, what are you saying? Rin is also very outstanding. She even helped me carry my things back today. I wonder which lucky boy will be able to walk hand in hand with Rin in the future."

"Cough cough..."

Nohara Rin choked.

Mikami Yu casually handed over a tissue, then gave the elders a slightly awkward but polite smile before continuing to eat.

This meal took about half an hour.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

After they had finished eating and drinking, Mikami Aoi saw the Nohara family to the door, then returned to clear the table. As if suddenly remembering something, she took a bag of grapes and a bag of oranges from the refrigerator and placed them on the table.

"Look at my memory. I was going to share some of the fruit I bought today with the Nohara family, but I forgot to say it... Yu, go and give these two bags of fruit to Uncle Hiroshi."

"okay."

Did you really forget? It looks like you did it on purpose...

Chapter 22 The Clone Technique, Do You Want a Gift?

Without giving it much thought, Mikami Yu picked up the fruit and headed towards the Nohara family's house next door.

It was Nohara Rin who opened the door.

"Oh, Yu-kun, you're here... Are these fruits a gift for our family? I'm so sorry, they must be very expensive."

"It's okay. You, Uncle Hiroshi, and Aunt Misae have taken good care of my family during this time. A little fruit is nothing. When Dad comes back, we'll go out for barbecue together."

Mikami Yu smiled and casually said politely.

At that moment, Hiroshi Nohara, who was inside the house, also heard the voice and peeked over: "Oh, it's Yu... Since you're already here, why did you bring anything? Come in and have a seat?"

"No, I need to go back and help my mom with the chores."

"Tsk tsk, Xiaoyou is so sensible. Lin, look at her."

Hiroshi Nohara walked over, exchanged a few polite words with Yu Mikami, and took the two bags of fruit.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, he suddenly asked, "By the way, Yu, do you know your chakra nature?"

"I don't know, what's wrong?"

Yu Mikami answered.

Chakra testing strips are quite expensive, costing 1000 ryo each at ninja tool shops. The ninja academy wouldn't offer free testing for its students, and Mikami Yu hadn't tried it himself, since he hadn't had the opportunity to learn ninjutsu before. However, judging from his ability to master "Great Fireball," he likely possesses fire-style chakra.

"Oh, I see... I happen to have a test strip here that I haven't used yet, let me test it for you."

As Hiroshi Nohara spoke, he beckoned Yu Mikami into the house and then took out the test strip.

As Mikami Yu channeled his chakra.

The test paper was first ignited, then extinguished, and became damp.

"Water and fire..."

Upon seeing this result, Mikami Yu sighed.

how to say……

If he had a choice, he would actually prefer wind, since wind jutsu is almost the most powerful of the five basic attributes, and it can also be combined with fire to form scorching jutsu, just like Ye Cang from next door.

Water, on the other hand, leans towards support and is highly dependent on chakra strength, belonging to the type with an extremely high ceiling and an extremely low floor. It is not suitable for ordinary ninjas.

However, Hiroshi Nohara breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yu, your chakra nature is the same as Rin's, it's water and fire.”

“Perfect timing. I have two scrolls here, both related to water-based techniques. I’ve already mastered the techniques on them, but Lin can’t learn them yet. I’ll lend them to you to take a look and see if you can learn them. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me anytime.”

"Huh?"

New ninjutsu?

Mikami Yu's eyes lit up, as if he had spotted a beautiful woman's perverted nature, and he turned his gaze to Nohara Hiroshi: "Is...is this appropriate?"

"Of course it's suitable. Anyway, Tajima will teach you when he comes back. Learn a few moves first, it might help with your graduation exam next year. If you really feel bad about it, you can just ask your dad to teach Rin the ninjutsu he knows."

Hiroshi Nohara laughed and patted Yu Mikami on the shoulder.

Since things had been said to this extent, Yu Mikami didn't stand on ceremony and sincerely thanked him: "Then thank you very much, Uncle Hiroshi!"

Speaking of which, ninjutsu scrolls are quite valuable. They're somewhat similar to books from the bamboo slip era.

Most ninja tool shops don't sell them, or if they do, they're mostly selling basic D-rank or E-rank ninjutsu. Any ninjutsu above C-rank is generally controlled by various ninja clans and Jonin groups. Ordinary civilians typically only have two ways to learn them—

One option is to find a good teacher, or a good wife or godfather, and learn new ninjutsu from the latter;

The second method is to accumulate merit points and exchange them from the village.

Once you've learned ninjutsu through this step, who you want to teach it to is entirely up to you. However, unless you're related by blood, it's rare for someone to pass on a precious ninjutsu technique. From this perspective, Hiroshi Nohara's actions can be considered a form of adoptive fatherhood.

When the other party took the scroll out of the bedroom and solemnly handed it to Mikami Yu.

Mikami Yu even saw several lines of text flash before his eyes—

【Ding! 】

[Potential target detected: "Water Release: Water Turbulent Wave Technique," triggering a limited-time encounter quest!]

[A limited-edition skin, "Clone Technique: Water Release: Water Clone Technique," has been detected as a gift that can be given away!]

"?!"

Wait a minute...

Gift?!

Limited edition skin?!

Mikami Yu's eyelids twitched, and his breathing became rapid.

So... the "Gift" function actually sends ninjutsu scrolls?!

Yes.

Ninjutsu scrolls are the medium for recording ninjutsu, much like clothes are used to cover a person's body. So... scrolls are like limited-edition skins, which seems to make sense, doesn't it?

that……

Following this logic, wouldn't Hiroshi Nohara's act of giving him the ninjutsu scroll be equivalent to giving away a woman?

Furthermore, what about the previous Three Bodies Technique and Great Fireball Technique... weren't they practically running around naked in front of him every day?

Is this... this lewd?

I never expected you to be from such a remote corner! You're actually an R18 eroge!

While secretly despising the corner system in his heart, Mikami Yu showed an even more genuine smile on his face. After thanking Nohara Hiroshi once again, he walked lightly out of the Nohara residence.

Back home.

Close the door again.

Yu Mikami immediately placed the ninjutsu scroll on the bedroom table, washed his hands and face, then sat down at the table and opened the interface for Ga La Gei Mu.

[Transformation: Good evening, Little Mistress. Are you still practicing so late? You're so hardworking!]

[Clone Technique: Hmph, what's with the studying? He's probably just going to say those "goodnight" things again. Honestly, he's like a broken record, repeating the same few words every day, nothing new at all.]

[Transformation Jutsu: Don't say that. Only here with Misaki do we, ninjutsu that's often overlooked, feel truly valued. We need to become even better to keep up with Misaki.]

[Clone Technique: ...Just spoil him.]

"..."

Yu Mikami's lips twitched slightly as she watched the three-body technique sisters—or rather, the "two-body technique" argument—with a hint of exasperation. Then she coughed lightly and asked, "Um, the clone technique... do you want a present?"

[Clone Technique: ?]

present.

At his desk in his bedroom, Yu Mikami slowly unrolled the scroll containing the "water clones" and began to unfold it.

As the scroll was fully exposed to the sunlight.

The expression on the clone's portrait underwent a subtle change.

[Transformation: Wow, what a beautiful new outfit! And it's even light blue, it looks really good. (Cloning technique) Looks like the mistress really cares about you, she even prepared such a wonderful gift for you!]

[Clone Technique: ...Hmph, it's alright, I guess. Is this just for me, or does everyone get one?]

"?"

Chapter 23 Limited Skin: Water Clone Technique!

Mikami Yu's lips twitched. What kind of nonsense is this? So, even with the clone technique, she's read "Dream of the Red Chamber"?

Before he could respond,

The eldest sister's transformation technique spoke once again:

[Transformation Technique: Little clone, stop fooling around. The mistress has already prepared such a thoughtful gift for you, and you're still being picky. If you don't want it, then I and the Substitute Technique will take it.]

[Clone Technique: Who said I don't want it? Hmph, what gift? Consider it his apology for not including me when he was dealing with that cataract!]

[Clone Technique: Affection +2, Temporarily unlocks the [Gift Giving] option]

Having played with Ga La Ge Mu for so long, I have to say that the transformation skill is the most understanding.

However, the idea of ​​creating a clone is really just a myth.

Like Hao Huoqiu, this guy is a bit of a hypocrite, so soon, "she" verbally accepted the gift with a happy yet awkward attitude.

Mikami Yu didn't care about any of that.

He was only curious about how to give the gift; if he did give it, what changes would occur to the clone technique, and would things like the favorability rating be reset to zero?

soon.

On a whim, Yu Mikami clicked on "Send Gift".

A flash of white light followed.

The water-incarnation scroll on the table suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, the strategy list in the Ga La Ge Mu system has changed—
