Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

And such an opponent...

It's more interesting when they fight.

It only took a few seconds.

The giant eagle and the water platform were now very close.

Mikami Yu lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped off the giant eagle's back. As he fell, he drew his White Fang short sword and unleashed a series of milky-white sword flashes, aimed directly at the four Mist Ninjas on the platform!

"I'll give you a run for your money!"

Tongcao Yeyan shouted loudly, wielding his giant axe and hammer, smashing them down at the flashing blades.

This scene made Yu Mikami almost lose his composure.

Not a buddy...

You call this thing a knife?

No matter how bizarre other ninja swords are, at least they have a sword-shaped outline. Even the "Exploding Blade: Splash" has explosive tags attached to the blade. How can you call this a sword when you're holding an axe and a hammer? How did this thing get included in the "Seven Ninja Swords" category?

The "Hatake Sword Technique" is equally speechless.

[Hatake Tojutsu: ...Just kill him already, you white-haired brat. I really don't want to see such an ugly "sword" anymore, it's an eyesore!]

"All right……"

Since "Hatake Sword Technique" has spoken, Mikami Yu naturally won't hold back.

In just two or three seconds, he had landed on the platform and immediately swung his sword to meet the three opposite him. Kusano Yaijin swung his axe, Kaguya Shingo activated his Shikotsumyaku, and Hozuki Shimotsuki unleashed a series of highly condensed, high-pressure water blades, forming an encirclement around Mikami Yu.

At this moment, Yagura Karatachi, who had been observing from the spot for a long time, seemed to have finished his preparations. He raised his weapon, aimed it at Yu Mikami and the giant eagle in mid-air, and made a sweeping motion in the air: "Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!"

In an instant.

A giant mirror appeared in mid-air, and another Mikami Yu, Nohara Rin, Uchiha Inahisa, and Tetsuka, along with a giant eagle, emerged from the mirror, emanating a chakra aura almost identical to their original forms, and each looked at Mikami Yu and the others.

"Huh??"

"What... what kind of ninjutsu is this? It can actually create clones of us?"

Nohara Rin and the others were stunned; they never expected to see such a scene.

Yu Mikami raised an eyebrow, about to offer a reminder, when he saw the cloned giant eagle flap its wings and swoop down towards Rin Nohara and the others; while "Yu Mikami" gripped the White Fang short sword and pounced in his direction.

clang!

The two swords clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

A tremendous force emanated from the blade, causing Mikami Yu's eyes to narrow slightly.

"That's interesting..."

"His strength is not bad."

Yu Mikami glanced up and saw that the giant eagle had begun to ascend, and felt relieved—if the opponent wasn't Yagura Karatachi, but just their respective clones, Rin Nohara and the others should be fine. This could also be considered a training opportunity for them.

At this moment, Mikami Yu is fighting four opponents simultaneously: three Mist Ninja and another version of himself, and he is mentally assessing the latter.

"His swordsmanship is almost identical to mine... How can a mere clone use 'Hatake swordsmanship' to this extent?"

Yes.

In the original storyline, Yagura Karatachi used this technique to create clones of Naruto in his golden form and Killer Bee. While clones certainly lack the upper limit of the original, achieving that level is enough to demonstrate the power of the "Water Mirror Technique."

That's a good ninjutsu.

want to.

Chapter 287 New Target: Water Mirror Technique, One-on-Four Battle and Killing the Copy (Two-in-One)

Almost at the same time that Yu Mikami had this idea,

A notification from the hidden system had already appeared in his field of vision—

[Ding! Detected an extraordinary potential target: Water Mirror Technique! Initiate an encounter?]

"Yes!"

Yu Mikami made his choice without hesitation.

Even without the "encounter," he was going to defeat this clone anyway. Now that the two things are combined into one, it saves him some trouble.

Then, while continuing to fight off the four opponents, Mikami Yu also spared a portion of his attention to check the encounter quest targeting the "Water Mirror Technique":

On the battlefield of Misty Concealment, you encountered a dignified and exceptionally talented woman in blue. Her strength was remarkable, and her memory and learning abilities were astonishing. After just one meeting, she could easily replicate any move you had seen and execute it at a level no less than the original owner of the body.

You try to approach, but she blocks your way with the edge of her sword.

[Water Mirror Technique: Want my approval? Then defeat me with the same moves first. Weaklings are not worthy of my attention.]

Hmm... it seems this persona is that of a well-bred young lady.

Also.

In the original story, no one other than Yagura Karatachi has ever used the "Water Mirror Technique". It is estimated that it may be a secret ninjutsu of the Karatachi clan or Yagura's personal invention, similar in nature to the "Water Transformation Technique" of the Hozuki clan and the "Hatake Sword Technique" of Konoha.

Judging from the fact that the "Water Mirror Technique" can replicate Naruto's golden body, its level is at least A-rank ninjutsu. However, its specific effects may be limited by the amount of chakra available, because Yagura Karatachi in his non-Jinchūriki state would most likely not be able to achieve that level.

"Then... let me see your magnanimity."

This statement was not directed at Yagura and others, but rather at the "Water Mirror Technique".

Besides defeating his opponent and acquiring new techniques, Mikami Yu himself also wanted to use this real battle to confirm his recent training progress and see how effective they were in actual combat.

"call……"

Mikami let out a long breath, and his aura began to gather and rise.

If observed with the Byakugan, one would see that the chakra within his body was surging rapidly in an instant, flowing through his limbs and bones. As a result, his strength, speed, and reaction time all increased dramatically in that instant, leaving afterimages as he swung his sword.

——【Neuroactivation Therapy】

Over the past few days, Yu Mikami has raised the "Neural Activation Technique" to 50 affinity, unlocking the second stage, [Overload Pulse]. Compared to the first stage, the duration of the second stage's effect has increased from 45 seconds to 60 seconds, and the upper limit of the increase in neural conduction speed has also increased.

It is expected that this will significantly raise the upper limit of Mikami Yu's strength.

but……

The current battle shouldn't require activating [Overload Pulse]; regular neural activation is sufficient.

Exhale and make a sound.

The white dagger in Mikami Yu's hand had already transformed into a blazing white streak of light, first slashing towards the nearest Kusanagi Enjin. The blade burst into intense flames midway through its flight, displaying astonishing power.

"!!"

Tongcao Yeren's pupils shrank suddenly. He instinctively raised his heavy axe to block, but amidst the clanging of metal against metal, he felt a tremendous force coming from his weapon, which made his arms go numb. The water beneath his feet also cracked open, almost causing him to fall from mid-air.

"This guy..."

Tongcao Yeren gritted his teeth, veins bulging on the back of his hands and temples, feeling as if he were facing not a person, but a monster.

Kaguya Shingo, who was standing nearby, saved Kusano Yato's life. Dozens of white bone spurs burst out from his arms, shoulders, spine, and even ribs, like an exploding ball of spikes, and came crashing down on Mikami Yu.

"Corpse Bone Vein - Dance of the Willow!"

Without even looking, Mikami Yu raised his hand and swung four or five slashes in an instant. When the slashes landed on Kaguya Shingo, they directly severed the bone spikes that were as hard as steel, producing a series of crisp cracking sounds.

"……impossible!!"

Shingo Kaguya's eyes widened in fury, and the momentum of her spinning attack came to an abrupt halt.

He knew his strength couldn't compare to the clan leader, Kaguya Hiromitsu, but within the entire Kaguya clan and even Kirigakure, he was considered quite outstanding. He never expected to be so utterly helpless against a serious Mikami Yu.

A strong sense of frustration welled up in Shingo Kaguya's heart, followed by a faint sense of despair.

On the contrary, the clone Mikami Yu remained calm and even increased the speed of his sword swings, barely keeping up with Mikami Yu.

"Huh, they can even simulate 'neural activation'?"

Yu Mikami was a little surprised.

However, he also realized that the clone's "neural activation technique" was only superficial, slower than the original, and could only barely parry his attacks, unable to retaliate. As for his unique characteristics, they were even more out of the question.

quickly,

The balance of power in the battle has visibly shifted.

Whether it's the wild bait of the grass, Shingo Kaguya, or the clone, they all began to struggle and were on the verge of defeat.

Hozuki Shimotsuki, who was in charge of flank harassment, couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly took a few steps back to create distance, and then formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Sky Assault!"

This move is an advanced version of the "Water Prison Technique," with a larger range and stronger binding force. As Hozuki Shimotsuki's chakra fluctuated, all the moisture in the surrounding air was drawn out, forming thick, python-like streams of water that took shape high in the sky and swept towards Mikami Yu!

Of course, this also included Tongcao Ye'erren and his group.

"Hozuki Shimotsuki! Are you insane?!"

Shingo Kaguya shouted sternly, "Do you want to wipe us all out?"

"Shut up!"

Hozuki Shimotsuki's forehead was beaded with sweat, looking utterly exhausted, but his eyes were unusually resolute. "If we can't kill this brat here, this battle will be lost for sure, and we'll all die anyway! We have to go all in! Even if it means mutual destruction!"

The enormous vortex emitted a deep roar, and it looked like it was about to completely overturn and swallow the four figures.

At this time-

Whoosh!

Beside Yu Mikami, a column of water rose up, spinning rapidly towards the sky—it was the automatically triggered water array wall!

The two water jets collided violently!

boom--!!!

Amidst a deafening explosion, water sprayed everywhere, like a torrential downpour. Countless streams of water clashed, compressed, and dispersed, transforming into even more fine jets of water that shot out in all directions. It seemed as if they were evenly matched.

Mikami Yu glanced at Hozuki Shimotsuki, freeing one hand to form a hand seal.

"Ninja Art: Dark Travel Technique!"

Without any warning, a deep, pure darkness, like splashed ink, rapidly spread outwards from Yu Mikami, enveloping an area with a radius of over ten meters! All light and color were erased out of thin air.

"This is...an illusion?!"

As the scene before him went black, alarm bells rang in his mind. He was about to use the same method he used to deal with the "Hidden Mist Technique"—to use his hearing and chakra perception to pinpoint the enemy's location—when he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and an indescribable sense of panic welled up inside him.

[Trait: Dark Veil: You possess a deeper understanding of darkness, allowing you to blind enemies over a wider area, disorienting their senses; simultaneously, you can designate one or more targets, continuously inflicting a strong sense of oppression and psychological suggestion, making it impossible for them to concentrate.]

That's right.

The "Darkness Technique" after raising the favorability rating to 25 unlocks the "psychological suggestion" feature, which can amplify the fear and other negative emotions in others to a certain extent.

As it happened, both Kusanagi and Kaguya Shingo were afraid of Mikami Yu, so even their movements unconsciously slowed down.

Suddenly, Kaguya Shingo seemed to "see" something and abruptly swung his bone blade to the side, slashing at his comrade, Kusanagi Eijin.

"...Kaguya Shingo! You fucking look around!"

Tongcao Yeyan's startled and furious roar came from the right.

In his haste, he swung his axe to block the bone bullet fired by Shingo Kaguya, but this caused a momentary lapse in his defense. In that lapse, which was probably less than a second, Kusanagi felt a blast of hot wind brush past him.

The "wind" was too light and too fast, like an illusion.

But the next moment...

Tongcao Yeren felt a sudden lightness in his right arm, as if it had been severed by something, falling to the ground along with the hammer that had accompanied him in battle for many years. The wound was smooth and clean, and the blood gushed out only after a second.

"This is……"

The thought had barely formed when I felt a chill on my neck again.

Tongcaono felt his vision begin to spin. He "saw" a headless body standing in place in a defensive posture, with blood gushing from the severed neck. However, the vision around the head grew darker and farther away, until finally, it fell into eternal silence.

The man who used the wild grass as bait died.

Next up is Shingo Kaguya.

This guy had fallen into a state of self-destructive frenzy. In the midst of his chaotic smashing and charging, he felt a chill on his neck. A white dagger had appeared on his thickest vertebra. The blade was cutting into the most vulnerable part of his periosteum, splitting his spine in two.

"Pfft-"

Shingo Kaguya froze, opened his mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out. Only dark red blood foam gushed from his mouth.
