Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Yu Mikami paused for a moment, then realized what was happening:

Indeed, who could understand the Three Bodies Technique better than the Three Bodies Technique?

He coughed lightly and, following the instructions of the Transformation Technique, began to speak: "Red, your chakra is too scattered. It needs to be evenly distributed throughout your body... Yes, that's it. It feels much more solid than before... Wait, the flow around your ankles is a bit sluggish. Adjust it again..."

With Mikami Yu's guidance, Kurenai Yuhi tried her best to adjust. She could clearly feel the warmth from the hand behind her, and her heart began to race involuntarily, her cheeks turning even redder.

Fortunately, because they were facing away from each other, they couldn't see each other's faces, so it didn't have much of an impact.

Time slips away quietly.

An hour later.

Yu Mikami has finished teaching.

At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi was so tired from repeatedly using the Three Bodies Technique that her forehead was covered in fine sweat, but her eyes were bright and full of the joy of her achievement.

Under this guidance, her transformation and clone techniques, while still not as refined as Mikami Yu's, have indeed improved significantly. When using them, the flow of chakra within her body becomes smoother and more natural, and the consumption is slightly less. These two points are something that Kurenai Yuhi can clearly feel.

"Thank you, Mikami-kun! Your guidance was really helpful!"

Kurenai Yuhi clasped her hands together and sincerely thanked Yu Mikami. She took out a few banknotes from her bag and counted them, then handed them over somewhat embarrassedly, "Um... I only brought 1,000 ryo with me today. Can I give you the rest next time we meet?"

"no problem."

Yu Mikami readily accepted the money: "How about next time, in two days? You can use this time to properly digest what you learned today."

"Ok!"

Kurenai nodded vigorously, a relaxed smile on her face. "It's settled then! I'm heading back now. See you later, Mikami-kun!"

"Goodbye."

Yu Mikami watched Kurenai Yuhi leave, then stayed in the training ground and practiced alone.

The Three Bodies Technique is definitely a must-learn.

These three ninjutsu were the first ones he started mastering, and they're currently the ones he's progressed the most on, especially the Transformation Jutsu, which is already at the third stage. Mikami Yu is quite curious to see if there will be any significant change once the affection level reaches 100 (the maximum).

Then came the Fireball Jutsu and the Water Wave.

The former is because he went easy on Hyuga Hizashi in his previous battle, and they've been a bit sullen these past few days. He's been unresponsive during conversations, but his affection level is still increasing normally during practice. I estimate that in another three to five days, he'll reach 50 affection points and unlock the second stage trait.

As for the turbulent waters...

[By the stream in Konoha Village, you encounter a silver-haired girl standing by the water, her aura as serene and ethereal as the moon reflected in a mirror. She stands barefoot on the water, dancing gracefully with the ebb and flow. Her beautiful figure captivates you. Please try to interact with her: Yes/No]

"Yes."

With Mikami Yu's choice

A dialog box, resembling rippling water with a shimmering silver border, unfolds:

[Water Turbulence Technique: ...Hmm? You over there, young man, you've been watching for so long, what are your thoughts on my "work"? (She didn't turn around, but simply raised her hand, and a stream of water flowed through her palm like silk.)]

[A: Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you! I've never seen such an elegant dance before; it's like creating a work of art, truly breathtaking.]

[B: Wow, that's amazing! Can you teach me? I want to be able to spray such a powerful jet of water too!]

[C: Beautiful yet fleeting creations, just like this water. Rather than wither away alone, why not join me and imprint this beauty upon the ninja world?]

"no……"

What the heck is option B? Are you sure what you're going to spray is really a "water jet"?

Yu Mikami was speechless.

Looking back, option B in this quirky system has never been a proper choice. The only time it was the correct one was when I encountered the Great Fireball. In most cases, this option can be ignored.

As for the remaining two...

They look about the same, but A should be a bit more proactive?

Yu Mikami made his choice.

[Water Wave Technique: ...Oh? It seems you also appreciate art, unlike those ninjas who simply see water as a tool. That's quite rare.]

[Water Turbulence Technique: But do you understand the true meaning of "form"?]

"I don't quite understand, please enlighten me."

【…】

The encounter with "Water Chaos" went relatively smoothly.

Yu Mikami, after all, has been bombarded with information in modern society. Even if he doesn't truly understand art, he can still put on a good show and create the persona of an "art enthusiast." After all, the art that "Mizuranbo" talks about isn't that profound or sophisticated.

So very quickly,

One more character has been added to Yu Mikami's list of potential partners, bringing the total to six.

He tried practicing his water ripple technique a few times, succeeding only once or twice. However, he could only spew out a stream of water that wasn't too thick, which shook a small patch of water plants in front of him. It was still quite a distance from being truly lethal.

But don't worry.

Since it's already on the strategy list, we can take it slow and steady. You can't expect to get fat in one bite.

Compared to other spells, practicing "Healing Spell" is a little more complicated.

Because this is something you can't practice on your own; you need someone to treat. Considering that he and Nohara Rin were only auditors in the medical class, they couldn't practice on real people, so they had to find a way to treat animals.

"...It's a bit late today. I'll buy a fishing net tomorrow and catch some fish here to treat as a 'patient'."

"Yes, we can invite Rin Nohara and Obito together then."

We're all auditors, and we all need to practice, so it's not unreasonable for us to split the cost of the fishing nets, right?

……

This training session took quite a while.

Until the sun completely set, the sky began to twinkle with the light of stars.

Exhausted, Yusai Mikami embarked on his journey home.

As he approached his house, he saw Nohara Rin practicing the Three Body Technique alone by the fence of the neighbor's yard. She seemed to have just completed a transformation and was turning back into her original form when she saw Mikami Yu walking towards her.

"Huh, Yu-kun? You're back?"

Nohara Rin jogged over through the fence, a few beads of sweat on her forehead. She stood on tiptoe and looked out into the yard: "Why are you practicing so late?"

"Ah, I practiced a little more, which took up a bit of time."

Yu Mikami stopped and responded with a smile.

Rin Nohara's gaze lingered on his face for a few seconds before she casually asked, "Um... Yuhi-kun, are you also going home this late?"

Chapter 28: Favorability maxed out, hearts intertwined!

"No, that's not it. She left around two or three in the afternoon, and I've been practicing on my own for the rest of the time. After all, the Hokage mentioned the reward today, and I'm quite interested in it, so I wanted to try and get it."

Yu Mikami spoke the truth.

"Oh...I see."

Nohara Rin nodded slightly, her smile seeming more natural and genuine: "Yu-kun is really hardworking, no wonder you've improved so quickly. I'll have to ask you for advice sometime... But it's getting late, you should go home and eat. See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow."

Yuya Mikami waved and watched Rin Nohara run back to the house with light steps. Then he pushed open his own yard gate, and the aroma of his mother Aoi Mikami cooking immediately wafted into the air.

Yu Mikami touched the thousand ryo bill in his pocket, feeling the slight soreness in his body from training, and a surge of strength, sensing the beginning of this winter break...

It seems pretty good.

……

Over the next two weeks.

Yu Mikami's days were exceptionally fulfilling.

He goes to bed at 11 p.m. every night and gets up at 7 a.m. the next morning. He first runs a few laps around Konoha Village as a warm-up exercise before starting to practice ninjutsu.

During this process, Might Guy and his son could often be seen, but Yu Mikami was not in a hurry to complete the "ten days, ten laps" goal that he had previously agreed upon with Might Guy.

The saying goes, "Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting."

With his current physical condition, he could barely manage to run ten laps if he pushed himself, but he would be completely exhausted and wouldn't be able to fully recover for the next half day. Therefore, it would be better for him to spend a few days improving his physical condition before trying to run, which would make better use of his time.

then,

Every day, Yu Mikami spends his time in the training grounds practicing and exchanging ideas, following the order of Three Body Technique, Great Fireball Technique, and Water Wave Technique, for about half an hour each time. He intersperses these sessions with breaks, sitting under a tree to refine his chakra.

He is still continuing to attend medical training courses.

Because it was during winter break, the frequency of classes was increased to two and a half days per week.

After school, he, along with Nohara Rin and Obito, ran to the vicinity of the Naka River and used a makeshift fishing net to catch the unlucky river fish, acting as "patients" and attempting to perform healing spells on them one by one.

Aside from Obito being clumsy and unable to learn, Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin were able to manipulate Yang Release chakra, condensing a faint emerald light at their fingertips, which could be considered as having entered the realm of healing techniques—to be precise, Obito didn't learn at all; he only attended the training course to peek at Nohara Rin.

In response, Obito argued, "This...this is normal! Didn't Matsumoto-sensei say that medical ninjas are trained this way? The more fish they kill, the better their medical skills become!"

Nohara Rin sighed, "First of all, the person who said that was named Matsushita, not Matsumoto; secondly, he wasn't a teacher, but an apprentice like us; and thirdly, after he said that, he got a severe scolding from Hebi-sensei for wasting experimental materials, and that's all you remembered...?"

Obito: "Huh?"

next to.

Yu Mikami was starting to lose his composure.

To be fair, Konoha Hospital is indeed full of talented people, and everyone there speaks very kindly.

Obito was indeed a fool; going to class with him and Rin Nohara was a complete waste of time.

However, considering that Obito had shared the cost of the fishing net and put in a lot of effort while catching the fish, Mikami Yu didn't say much. He just silently practiced "healing magic" on the side, and with a faint emerald light flashing at his fingertips, the fish's wounds slowly healed little by little.

[Healing Spell: Hmm, although I'm learning a bit slowly, my attitude is quite serious, and now it's finally starting to look decent.]

[Healing Skill Affinity +2]

Aside from auditing medical training courses.

One more thing worth mentioning...

It was Mikami Yu's "private lessons" to Yuhi Kurenai.

He spent four lessons teaching Yuhi Kurenai the key points of physical techniques that Hyuga Hizashi had mentioned to him. With the help of the Three Body Technique sisters, he also guided her in her Three Body Technique training, successfully obtaining 10,000 ryo as "tuition fee" from her.

"Um... thank you so much for everything during this time, Mikami-kun."

After the fourth lesson, Kurenai Yuhi crossed her arms in front of her and said a little shyly, "Are you free this afternoon, Mikami-kun? How about I treat you to some yakiniku Q? Otherwise, I feel like I'm taking advantage of you."

"Next time."

Mikami Yu smiled and said, "We're classmates, and besides, you paid for it. You don't have a girlfriend for free, so there's no question of taking advantage. If you really want to thank me, wait until your grades actually improve."

"...Then, if I encounter anything I don't understand in the future, can I come back to ask you for help again?"

Kurenai bit her lip lightly, then added, "Of course, I'll pay for it."

"can."

If it weren't for the hassle, Mikami Yu would actually like to recruit more "students" like Yuhi Kurenai and teach them all at once, so he could earn money from several sources simultaneously. However, teaching just Yuhi Kurenai is also good, since this girl is very straightforward, earns a lot of money, has little trouble, and isn't clingy, making it quite pleasant to work with her.

After Kurenai Yuhi left.

Yu Mikami spent another half a day cleaning up his daily routine in the nooks and crannies.
