Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Well, not entirely. At least the idea of ​​"taking ninjutsu seriously" sounds reasonable, but it's a bit too general and not easy to understand intuitively.

As the daughter of a Konoha Jonin, Kurenai Yuhi's combat record is indeed unworthy of her lineage.

Because she put almost all her talent points into genjutsu, but the ninja academy mainly tests ninjutsu and taijutsu. In these two areas, Kurenai Yuhi is only considered to be at an average level. She is definitely stronger than most commoner students, but she would most likely lose to any ninja clan member.

Therefore, Kurenai was very anxious.

She tried to consult Sarutobi Asuma.

But Asma didn't have any good solutions either.

As the son of the current Hokage and a descendant of the Sarutobi clan, Asuma's starting point was far higher than that of ordinary people. Before entering the academy, he was already proficient in the Three Body Techniques and most D-rank ninjutsu. Only the exceptionally talented Kakashi could surpass him. Therefore, Asuma had no idea how someone with a poor foundation could improve.

But Yu Mikami is different.

In the past, his practical test scores were about the same as Kurenai Yuhi's, but now he has suddenly jumped to first place, which is hard not to attract Kurenai Yuhi's attention.

"that……"

Kurenai Yuhi mustered her courage and said, "Mikami-kun, I would like to ask you to give me some guidance in my training, even if it's just once or twice. I can pay you according to the number of lessons."

"?"

Mikami Yuu's expression shifted slightly: "How much?"

"Three thousand taels for one lesson, is that alright?"

Kurenai hesitated for a moment before giving the number.

"Really, Hong?"

Mikami Yu's eyes lit up.

For a ninja academy student, this is no small sum; a typical D-rank mission only costs about this much, and afterwards you still have to pump water for the village. If Kurenai Yuhi could get a few dozen hours of training, that would be over a hundred thousand ryo!

"Ahem, we're all classmates, it's only right to help each other out. How about this, winter break is in a few days, I'll help you take a look then, so we can all improve together. As for the tuition... it doesn't need to be three thousand taels, two thousand five will do."

"Great! I'll come find you after school!"

Kurenai left with a heart full of joy.

Yuya Mikami turned around and noticed that Rin Nohara was talking to Obito. Her gaze kept drifting towards him, and her expression was slightly subtle.

But soon.

Mr. Oki came out, clapped his hands, and ushered everyone into the classroom. He then began his end-of-term summary speech and announced important points for the winter break: "Remember, your most important task now is to solidify your foundation and prepare for the graduation exam in two months! You must always remember the legacy of the 'Will of Fire'..."

"I may not be able to explain this to you in great detail, because I am still in the process of learning and understanding. Only one adult can fully and deeply understand the 'Will of Fire,' and that is..."

"Sandaime-sama!"

at this time.

Many students turned to look at the classroom door and discovered that a figure wearing a white Hokage robe and a straw hat had appeared there. Although his face looked slightly weathered, his eyes were bright and his lips were curved in a gentle smile. He was none other than Hiruzen Sarutobi, the current Hokage of Konoha.

"Lord Hokage!"

All the students, including Mr. Oki, stood up to greet him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down. He then walked up to the podium, his gaze sweeping over the young and energetic faces below: "Children, I am very pleased to see your vibrant energy."

"You are the future of Konoha, the inheritors of the 'Will of Fire.' Everything you learn now is for the purpose of protecting our home and our cherished comrades in the future. Some of you have performed exceptionally well in the recent exams, which fills me with confidence in the future of Konoha..."

"..."

This talk about the "Will of Fire" captivated all the children.

Yuya Mikami pretended to listen intently, but inwardly he sighed: "All that fancy talk, let's get down to business."

It seems to be in response to Yu Mikami.

After a long speech, Hiruzen Sarutobi paused and said, "Today I've come not only to see everyone, but also to announce something."

"That is, in order to encourage everyone to give their all and achieve good results in the graduation exam in two months, I have decided that the top three in this graduation exam will receive a special reward from the village! Especially the first place... will receive a special honor! They can make a request to me, and as long as it is within a reasonable range, the village will do its best to fulfill it!"

"For example—you can specify to learn a ninjutsu of C rank or higher, that is not a family secret technique, and I will personally teach and guide you!"

"Wow--!!!"

The entire classroom erupted in cheers! The gasps and chatter nearly lifted the roof off.

"The Hokage himself taught me?!"

"Ninjutsu of rank C or higher?!"

"Oh my god! I must get first place!"

Putting aside the question of whether or not they could actually use ninjutsu, the mere fact that the Hokage himself would teach them was an unimaginable temptation for the students present. Even Asuma instinctively straightened his back, while Might Guy, Obito, Hyuga Himon, and others clenched their fists, their faces flushed with excitement.

Yuya Mikami mimicked the excited expression of the child next to him, but his mind remained calm and collected.

Rank C and above... that means you can learn Rank B or even Rank A ninjutsu!

Although the level of ninjutsu is determined by the difficulty of training, a higher level is generally not weaker than a lower level.

more importantly,

Yu Mikami possesses the "Gala Wood System," which allows him to unlock new special abilities by mastering ninjutsu. The Three Body Techniques are already quite remarkable; imagine the power of even more powerful ninjutsu…

Yu Mikami is determined to win first place!

After exchanging a few more words, Hiruzen Sarutobi left first.

At this point, the students in the class had no interest in listening to what Mr. Oki was saying. Everyone was whispering and discussing the "graduation rewards," with some even predicting the top three for next year. Many eyes were on Yu Mikami and Asuma Sarutobi.

Under these circumstances, Mr. Oki could only hastily conclude the matter and then announce the official start of the three-week winter break. After the three weeks were over, it would basically be time for the graduation exams.

"Yu-kun, want to go home together?"

Nohara Rin packed her schoolbag and asked Mikami Yu, as usual.

"No, I have something else to do."

"Alright then, Obito and I will head back first."

After watching Nohara Rin leave, Mikami Yu stretched and then turned his gaze to Yuhi Kurenai. Kurenai was also waving goodbye to Asuma and Shiranui Genma.

After most of the students had left the classroom, Kurenai Yuhi turned around and looked at Yu Mikami:

"Let's go, Mikami-kun."

Chapter 26 Private Lessons After School

Fifteen minutes later.

In a training ground about three or four kilometers away from the ninja academy.

The sounds of "slap slap slap" were incessant.

However, it was Mikami Yuu and Yuhi Kurenai who were practicing martial arts together.

After a fierce struggle, Mikami Yu remained calm and composed, while Yuhi Kurenai was slightly out of breath, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead. She pointed her kunai at Mikami Yu, but her eyes showed obvious frustration.

"Again!" she shouted softly, taking a step forward and thrusting her kunai in an arc toward Mikami Yu's shoulder.

Just as the kunai reached her body, Mikami Yu swayed slightly to the side like a willow catkin. At the same time, his right hand shot out like lightning, accurately grabbing Kurenai Yuhi's wrist that was holding the kunai. With a quick pull, he tripped Kurenai with his left foot, causing her to lose her balance and stumble to the ground.

"oops!"

"See that?"

Mikami Yu said, "When you sprint, you can't be too aggressive, otherwise all your weight will be on your front, and if your opponent pulls you in slightly, you'll fall. Remember to keep your weight in the center of your body and move with the momentum. That way, no matter what your opponent does, you can adjust and neutralize it in time..."

"Um……"

Kurenai's cheeks flushed slightly as she bit her lower lip and nodded. That last moment reminded her of the pathetic state Hyuga Himon was in when Mikami Yu knocked him down.

"And then there's the power generation. Whether it's a thrust or a block, you can't just use the brute force of your arms. You have to integrate the power of your whole body, from your feet to your waist, back, shoulders, and finally your arms... You're a girl, so physical strength is a weakness, so you need to pay even more attention to technique..."

In fact, many of these tips and techniques were learned by Yu Mikami from Hizashi Hyuga and, before that, from Might Guy.

He's putting what he's just learned to use right now, and he's speaking very eloquently.

Kurenai listened attentively, tried to adjust her movements, and then sparred with Yu Mikami for a few moves, which were indeed smoother than at the beginning. This change invigorated Kurenai.

"By the way, Yu, could you please teach me your Three Body Technique? My transformation and clone techniques are always said by the teacher to be too superficial and easy to see through. You use them so well, do you have any secrets?"

"This one……"

Before Mikami Yu could respond, the corner system interface became lively.

[Clone Technique: Hmph, who is this little brat? She dares to use the Three Bodies Technique? Look at her stupid face, it's a miracle she can use us effectively! The clones she creates wouldn't even fool a dog!]

[Transformation Technique: Little Clone, isn't that a bit too harsh on her?]

[Clone Technique: It might hurt you... cough cough, Mikami, show her what a real clone technique is! Let her see what true clone techniques are all about!]

[Substitution Jutsu: Indeed, it feels inferior to Mikami-kun's. (。-ω-)zzz]

"...6"

Yu Mikami secretly found it amusing.

As his favorability rating increased, especially after receiving the limited-edition skin, the tone of voice he used when speaking to San Shen Shu became noticeably better. Even the usually sarcastic Shaman, who used to love his sharp tongue, was now much more talkative, a stark contrast to his initial demeanor.

then,

Under the pretext of demonstration, Mikami Yu first formed the hand seals for the Shadow Clone Technique.

With a loud "bang," four figures identical to Yu Mikami instantly appeared beside him! Each one's movements and expressions were almost identical to the original, and even the rise and fall of their breathing were clearly visible—it was a water clone version of the clone technique!

Then, Mikami Yu formed hand seals again, and his true form disappeared with a "poof." When a small wisp of smoke dissipated, he had transformed into a gray and white wildcat with lively eyes, squatting in the same spot and meowing.

"Wow!"

Kurenai couldn't help but let out a soft gasp, her eyes widening as she walked up to Yu Mikami to examine him closely.

She even dared to squat down and reach out her fingers to gently touch "Mikami Neko's" head and back, startled by the warm, fluffy texture: "This...this is too realistic! It's like I've really turned into a cat. Mikami-kun, you didn't use a substitution jutsu, did you?"

"But it's so cute..."

Kurenai Yuhi patted Yu Mikami again, a pure and loving smile on her face, seemingly with an urge to pick him up and pet him.

opposite.

Mikami Yu turned his head to the other side somewhat awkwardly.

Well... his transformation technique is indeed different from others. It's not an illusion, but a real change, so both visually and tactilely, it's almost identical to that of a real cat.

Therefore, looking up from his low "cat's-eye view," Mikami Yu felt a little awkward. Because when Yuhi Kurenai squatted down, her fair thighs naturally parted to the sides, and her red skirt draped down, making it impossible for him to catch a glimpse of... well.

To avoid an even more awkward situation,

With a meow, Yu Mikami nimbly leaped onto the branch of a small tree, walked lightly for a few steps, and then performed a graceful backflip before landing back into human form with a serious expression, as if nothing had happened.

"Did you see that, Hong?"

Yuu Mikami cleared his throat, trying to ignore the blush that still lingered on Akane Yuhi's face from her feelings for the kitten. "The Three-Body Technique isn't a rigid formula. You have to imagine the breathing, heartbeat, and even small movements of the person you're trying to create in order to create another version of yourself."

"Hmm...it feels so hard. I can't grasp that feeling."

Kurenai Yuhi was a little confused.

Yu Mikami thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you perform the Three Body Techniques one by one, and I'll put my hands on your back and try to sense the flow of chakra in your body. Maybe I can find out where adjustments are needed."

"Huh? This..."

Kurenai hesitated for a moment, but considering that the other party was trying to guide her and had just demonstrated such a powerful technique... she nodded, stood with her back to Yu Mikami, took a deep breath, and began to concentrate on forming hand seals.

Yu Mikami extended his right hand, gently placing his palm on the center of Kurenai Yuhi's back, below her shoulder blade. His hand touched the soft fabric of her training uniform and the warm skin beneath. It felt nice, though it seemed slightly tense due to her nervousness.

quickly,

Kurenai's chakra began to surge with the hand seals, revealing that she was unleashing a transformation technique.

Mikami Yu vaguely sensed the problem and was pondering how to describe it to Yuhi Kurenai when he saw the text box for Kaga reappear, followed by a brief disappearance of the transformation technique, and then it spoke again:

[Transformation Technique: Mistress, this girl's chakra strength is good, but she uses it too loosely. She should distribute her chakra evenly throughout her body, like wearing clothes, and then concentrate the remaining chakra on a few key features...]

"...?"

Wait a minute, what do you mean by "my teacher is a master of the Three Bodies Technique"?

Chapter 27 Wow, I wish I could spray such a powerful jet of water too!
