Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

soon.

Might Guy clenched his fists and slightly parted his legs: "Now, I will personally demonstrate the Eight Gates... First Gate, Open!"

"Second Rest Gate... Open!"

"The third wound..."

Accompanied by a series of low shouts.

Might Guy's veins bulged all over his body, his chakra was in a state of turmoil, his short black hair began to float like seaweed, and invisible waves of energy turned into ripples that spread outwards from the training ground, startling flocks of birds.

In this situation, Matt Day began to swing his fists and feet so fast that they left afterimages.

It was also at this time.

The corner system finally reacted—

[Ding! A potential target of exceptional quality has been detected: "Eight Gates Formation," triggering a limited-time encounter quest!]

On the training ground west of the village, you are drawn to an explosive youthful energy. A vibrant girl with short red hair and tanned skin is frantically training her body in an almost self-destructive manner, each strike accompanied by a thunderous roar as she pushes her limits. The flame burning in her eyes seems capable of igniting the souls of others.

[Warning: This target is extremely proactive, and the pursuit process may involve enormous risks, potentially causing irreversible damage to the host's physical and mental well-being. Do you still wish to encounter her: Yes/No]

Chapter 31 Gu, just kill me!

"……Yes."

Yu Mikami hesitated for a moment before making his choice.

next second.

A line of text with dynamic, flame-like effects appeared before him:

[Eight Gates Formation: Yo! Big brother! Are you here to burn your youthful passion too? Looking at your small frame... you don't seem like the type to carry me. Come on, run a hundred laps around the training ground first, let me see your capacity! (She wipes her nose with her thumb, revealing a sparkling smile)]

[A: (Eyes shining, blood rushing to my head) Oh! This is youth! Let me join in! No matter how tired I am, I will persevere to the end!]

[B: Instead of running, let's talk about the philosophy of life first. Your powerful physique is so captivating! Let me feel that burning passion too!]

[C: Wait a minute! Won't that kind of training destroy you first? I want to observe first.]

"..."

Mikami Yu twitched the corner of his mouth.

As expected of an encounter triggered by Might Guy and his son...

Surprisingly, even this anthropomorphic "Eight Gates" is full of youthful talk and seems a bit off-track-minded. And these options all seem rather bizarre; it appears you could potentially fall into a trap by choosing any of them.

but,

After a brief consideration, Yu Mikami chose the most reasonable option, A.

[Eight Gates Formation: Oh? Not only are you not running away, but you're actually approaching me? What a brave big brother! (She grins, revealing her fangs) But just shouting slogans isn't enough; you'd better prove yourself with actions! Are you ready?]

……

On the training ground.

Might Guy released the Eight Gates, and the raging chakra around him receded like a tide. He breathed heavily and said, "This is how to open the first three gates... Yu. Remember, the body is the vessel, and the will is the key. Only by combining the two can you break through the limits."

"Now, do you want to try it...?"

"Wait a moment, Uncle Dai."

As Yu Mikami spoke, under Might Guy's astonished gaze, he jumped down from the tree root and began to run wildly around the open training ground!

"Hey! Yu! My explanation of youth isn't finished yet..."

Might Guy had barely finished shouting when he heard Might Guy yelling after him, "Damn it! You, Yuu, you were secretly training all by yourself! Wait for me! Youth doesn't allow for solitary blooming!"

"?"

Matt Days watched the two boys sprinting around the field, scratched his head, and was momentarily stunned for a few seconds before being ignited by the burning flames of youth. He raised his arms high, revealing an excited expression:

"Wow! This is the resonance of youthful bonds! It's amazing! Kai! Yu! Go for it! Burn bright! Run a hundred laps around the track! Let's make our youth unforgettable!!"

The training field isn't very big, but it's about 300 to 400 meters long for one lap.

One hundred laps is more than 30 kilometers.

Compared to the training intensity of Mikami Yu's daily ten laps around the village, this isn't too intense. However, the problem is that he already ran ten laps this morning, and his stamina is no longer as abundant as when he first woke up. Running a hundred laps under these circumstances will not be an easy task.

On the contrary, Matt Kai not only didn't feel tired at this moment, but also shouted loudly as he ran, as if he had to shout out all his strength to feel good. And the sound of Dai beating the drum next to him was even more deafening.

Gradually,

The sun began to tilt westward.

Sweat soaked through Mikami Yu and Might Guy's clothes, dripping down their hems onto the dry mud, leaving tiny dark marks. A damp path had formed around the training ground, reflecting the sunlight.

When the last lap was finally completed.

Yu Mikami staggered a few steps due to inertia before stopping, then collapsed to the ground, lying in a spread-eagle position, his chest heaving violently as he tried to calm his lungs, which felt like they were about to explode. He didn't even have the strength to speak.

While Might Guy wasn't quite as dramatic, he was also panting heavily, his hands on his knees.

"Huh...huh..."

As Mikami caught his breath, the text box reappeared:

[Eight Gates Formation: Wow, big brother, you're actually running away?]

[Eight Gates Formation: But this decisive and efficient personality is right up my alley! Only by running recklessly like this, letting my blood boil, can I be worthy of the weight of my potential! Come on, keep running! Run even faster! Let youth explode! (?o?o)??]

[A: Oh my gosh! No matter how many times, it's no problem! Let's ignite our youth and energy together!]

[B: Spare me, I have no chakra left... Can't we run again tomorrow...?]

[C: Gu, just kill me!]

"..."

For a fleeting moment, Yu Mikami considered choosing C.

But reason led him to choose B.

As for A... forget about him, he doesn't want to die yet. If he were to get up and run a hundred laps in this state, he'd probably really suffer muscle dissolution.

pity……

A certain forbidden technique clearly didn't want to let him off easily:

[Eight Gates Formation: (Instantly closes, face almost touching yours, imposing aura) No! Youth has no tomorrow! It's now! Not a drop left? Who are you kidding! I can feel the flame still flickering within you. Come on, follow me, take a deep breath—]

[Eight Gates Formation: How's that feeling? I told you you weren't completely drained yet! Come on, get up and try opening one of the gates, it'll feel amazing! It'll feel like you're in heaven!]

[The Eight Gates Formation extends an invitation to you to "open the gates": Accept/Decline]

Yu Mikami finally understood.

No wonder the system warned that there would be risks in mastering the "Eight Gates Formation"... They're clearly treating him like a Japanese person!

In other words, this target cannot be outsourced. Otherwise, Mikami Yu really wanted to outsource the "Eight Gates Formation" to Might Guy, letting the latter complete the conquest mission, and he would only take 30% of the favorability gained...

At this time.

Might Guy leaned closer, slipped a soldier's ration pill to Mikami Yu and Might Guy respectively, handed them two bottles of water, and then grinned, saying, "Yu, how about it, are you ready to try opening the first gate of the Eight Inner Gates?"

"...Damn it, so be it if I die!"

With the atmosphere already so heated, Mikami Yu gritted his teeth, chewed up the soldier's ration pill, swallowed it, and after a few minutes to recover some of his chakra, he straightened up and sat up again.

Then, following Might Guy's explanation, he tried to mobilize his chakra, transforming it into a sharp "drill" that surged toward the "opening" in his brain!

Chapter 32 Grandma Li knocks on the door, open it!

"Well!"

A sharp, excruciating pain exploded in an instant!

At that moment, Mikami Yu felt as if a red-hot iron rod had been plunged into the top of his head. Chakra crashed against an invisible barrier, disintegrating and overflowing. The resulting backlash made his temples throb, and a strong wave of dizziness surged over him.

The first attempt failed.

Mikami Yu opened his eyes.

Might Guy seemed to have figured out what had happened and immediately offered guidance: "How was it? Did your chakra dissipate when you were attacking the pressure points? That's normal. It means you've indeed touched the barrier of the 'gate.' The key is in controlling your chakra..."

Might Guy chimed in to share his experience: "Yes, yes, I encountered this problem the first time too. You have to concentrate your chakra as much as possible, like twisting a rope, the tighter you twist it!"

"Imagine it's a needle! Push it up in one go!"

"The first time is usually quite tight, like there's a membrane blocking it, but it loosens up later!"

"Pain? That's normal! It's youth knocking on your door! Just bear with it!"

"..."

What the hell is "Youth is Knocking on the Door"? Is your "youth" surnamed Li? And does it have a rather high seniority, like being called "Grandma Li"?

Yu Mikami was speechless.

However, after Might Guy's explanation, he roughly understood what he needed to pay attention to. So, after eating another soldier pill, he mobilized his chakra again and tried to break through the barrier.

This time, Mikami Yu concentrated intently, repeatedly extracting chakra from his meridians, then compressing and condensing this energy as much as possible to form a "cone" shape. Once he had gathered enough power, he thrust it forcefully towards the acupoint in the brain area!

boom--!!!

An even sharper pain exploded within me!

Yu Mikami shuddered, every cell in his body trembling violently, sweat pouring down his face and soaking his clothes. But he gritted his teeth and persevered, mustering his last bit of strength to push the "Chakra Cone" upwards with all his might.

It felt like a dozen seconds.

It felt like an eternity.

at last……

Just as he was about to give up and pass out, Yu Mikami suddenly heard a "buzzing" sound, as if a bottle stopper had been suddenly pulled out, and then a tiny spark ignited, flickering vigorously in a subtle yet tenacious manner.

The pain remains.

However, a sense of relief and exhilaration also spread through his body, accompanied by a surge of chakra.

Become!

Grandma Li knocked on the door. Open it!

At this moment, Yu Mikami felt terrifyingly strong, as if he could kill a bull with a single punch.

but……

The Eight Gates Formation is essentially an explosive taijutsu technique. From the moment the gates are opened, chakra is continuously burned, and it cannot be sustained for very long.

After jumping around a few times and smashing a wooden stake with his fist, Mikami Yu had no choice but to step out of the open doorway.

At this moment, he felt an indescribable fatigue, wave after wave surging from every cell in his body and spreading to his limbs. It was clearly a side effect of overtraining, and the weariness after opening the door came up together, making him even more tired than when he hadn't eaten his rations.

And the person who started all this is still just talking big:

[Eight Gates Formation: (Eyes shining, slaps your shoulder hard) See? I told you it felt great! Pain? Fatigue? Those are just snacks on the road to becoming stronger! Very good, very energetic!]

[Eight Gates Formation: Hmm... I'd love to see your limit again, but let's call it a day. I'll come back to you tomorrow morning!]

[Eight Gates Formation Affinity +1, added to the strategy list!]

"..."

The grass is finally gone.

Mikami Yu had just breathed a sigh of relief...

Then, another unexpected line of text appeared:

[Healing Spell: Sigh, this child... is really reckless. Who would damage their body like this for the sake of cultivation? If these injuries aren't healed in time, they might leave irreversible damage.]

A healer in green appeared before you, gently stroking your head with a touch of tenderness, then placing her hands on your chest, a pale green light emanating from her palms. It was that reassuring healing power.

This is the first time that the ninjutsu in the strategy list has been released on its own without the "master" Mikami Yu providing chakra.

Feeling that familiar healing power, even purer than when he used it himself, transform into a warm current acting on him, dispelling the fatigue in his body, Mikami Yu's eyes widened in surprise, an incredible feeling welling up in his heart.

Is this a way to play?
