Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

That's right.

The blonde who suddenly appeared and punched Yagura Karatachi, leaving him in a state of mortal danger, was none other than Tsunade.

Yu was somewhat surprised by the latter's appearance. After all, the document sent by Konoha earlier did not mention Tsunade's name, only that Kurenai Yuhi and several veteran Jonin of the Hyuga clan would lead reinforcements. He did not expect that there would be an extra person.

"Hmph, it's all because of you, kid."

As Tsunade spoke, she walked towards Mikami Yu: "The Hidden Mist Village is stronger than the Hidden Sand Village, no matter what. My father and I were a little worried. I didn't have much to do in Konoha lately, so I came with the reinforcements..."

"Look, if it weren't for me, this guy would have gotten away just now."

"Ah, right, right, thanks to Tsunade-sensei's wisdom and skill, we were able to keep this guy here."

Yu Mikami showered him with compliments.

Even if Tsunade hadn't come, Yagura would most likely have been caught anyway, but there's no need to argue about the credit. The actual result is that Tsunade punched Yagura to pieces, so let her say what she wants, as long as she's happy.

At this time.

Tsunade had already arrived in front of Mikami Yu, looked him up and down a few times, then patted his shoulder and examined him carefully before nodding slightly: "Hmm, looks alright, not seriously injured... Where are the others now?"

"They're over there, they haven't caught up yet."

Mikami Yu gestured with his chin toward the way they came, then looked behind Tsunade and asked, "Where are the reinforcements the village sent?"

"Oh, they'll be arriving a bit later. I was worried about you, so I brought a small team over ahead of time. We happened to see that signal flare when we passed by, so we came looking for it..."

Tsunade was explaining,

A few soft sounds came from the woods not far away, and several other Konoha ninjas rushed out one after another. Among them were Hyuga clansmen, Inuzuka clansmen with dogs, and Aburame clansmen wearing sunglasses. It seemed to be the elite squad that Tsunade had just mentioned.

One of the Inuzuka clan members, riding a dog, cleverly ran over to Yagura Karatachi, picked up the latter, whose fate was unknown, and placed him on the dog's back.

Tsunade raised her chin: "Let's go help our other comrades."

……

A short while later.

Mikami Yu and his group returned to the battlefield they had just been on.

Upon arriving here, Tsunade noticed the suppressed Six-Tailed Saiken.

After all, with the latter's large size standing there, it was hard not to notice him. Moreover, Tsunade suffered from hemophobia and dared not look too much at those places where blood and flesh were flying, so she could only turn her gaze to other less bloody places.

And looking at it this way...

Even the legendary Sannin, who had seen it all, couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces showing disbelief: "Holy crap... you actually captured a tailed beast from Kirigakure?"

Is this really that outrageous?

"No, they brought it over on their own initiative. And I only managed to suppress it temporarily. If you hadn't come to help, it might have already escaped."

Yu Mikami said casually.

Tsunade was skeptical of this explanation.

The other Konoha ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although the ninja world has already fought three rounds, it is really not common for tailed beasts from other ninja villages to be captured.

However, considering that it was Mikami Yu who did it, it makes sense. After all, Mikami Yu has been constantly redefining their understanding ever since he entered the Sand Village battlefield. Compared to capturing the Kazekage alive, capturing a Tailed Beast doesn't seem so surprising anymore...

the other side.

The Mist Ninja who had not yet evacuated from the battlefield also noticed Mikami Yu's return.

"What happened? Why was that brat from Konoha the first to return? Could it be that Lord Yagura...?"

"Wait, who's that blonde woman? She seems quite close to that kid from Konoha?"

"Holy crap...it's her!!"

Tsunade's reputation is still very high.

The veteran Kirigakure ninja recognized this "Sannin" who had once dominated the scene alongside Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Now, everyone panicked.

Yu Mikami alone, along with Shisui, Kakashi, and the others, was already giving them a huge headache. Now Tsunade has arrived, and Yagura Karatachi's fate is unknown... Under these circumstances, if they continue to stay on this battlefield, they might not even know how they died.

At that moment, the remaining Mist Ninja had no will to fight anymore. They shouted "Our army has been defeated" and began to scatter and flee, wishing they had two more legs.

Ao glanced at the Six-Tails from a distance, knowing there was no chance of retrieving it. He could only grit his teeth, sigh, and call to his companions to leave.

Some Konoha ninja wanted to chase after them.

Kakashi stopped him.

"Don't pursue a defeated enemy... Although the Mist Village has retreated, we have suffered heavy casualties as well. Rashly chasing them may cause unnecessary losses. Let's find a way to treat the wounded and repair our defenses first."

"……it is good."

The Konoha ninjas all nodded in agreement.

Next.

Kakashi and Gekko Shigure sheathed their swords and, leading a group of still-mobile Konoha ninja, began to assess the battlefield.

Kurenai Yuhi and several medical ninjas provided emergency treatment to the wounded. Together with Honekawa and others, they helped those with more serious injuries to the tents at the back of the base to lie down and receive bandaging and treatment.

During this process, Tsunade also used a "Summoning Jutsu" to summon a large slug, which split off and spread to the many wounded to provide auxiliary treatment.

Those like Shisui, who had exhausted their chakra but were not seriously injured, sat down to rest.

Then there's Obito...

This guy ran out of the crowd, searched the battlefield but couldn't find Nohara Rin, so he ran towards Mikami Yu, shouting, "Yu! Something bad has happened! Rin! Rin is missing! Have you seen where she went!"

"...Shh~"

Yu Mikami was currently suppressing the Six-Tails. He glanced at Obito and made a shushing gesture: "We'll talk about it later."

"Huh? Why do we have to wait? Can't we talk about it now?"

Obito was extremely anxious, looking like he was jumping up and down.

Tsunade hadn't thought anything of it at first, but after seeing Obito's appearance and Mikami Yu's behavior, she vaguely sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong? Did something happen to Rin?"

"..."

Many people saw the Yatagarasu flying high in the sky just now.

However, only Yu Mikami, who had guessed the inside story, noticed the presence of Madara Uchiha and the news of Rin Nohara being taken away.

The others, including Obito, only realized that Rin Nohara was missing after they ran to the giant eagle and looked around.

This matter involves a lot of issues and cannot be explained in a short time.

Therefore, Yu Mikami plans to hold a short meeting later to discuss things in detail with Tsunade and the others.

"Let's clean up the battlefield first."

Mikami paused for a moment, then glanced at Obito: "Rin has gone missing, and I'm very worried about her too, but the rescue can't be rushed. We need to come up with a plan first... Obito, come to the command post later, and I'll tell you what I know about Rin's whereabouts."

"..."

Obito's face was tense, and he seemed a little skeptical of Mikami Yu's expression.

After all, his mind wasn't very sharp to begin with, and now that he was worried, his intelligence level plummeted from 2 to 1. However, he still had some basic thinking ability and knew that Mikami Yu wouldn't abandon Rin, so he didn't continue to cause trouble.

"Alright then, you'd better hurry."

"..."

After a while.

The battlefield has been largely cleared.

The corpses of Konoha and Kirigakure ninjas were laid out on either side of a large open space. The few surviving Kirigakure ninjas were handcuffed and shackled, and made to squat in a row, to be disposed of later.

Only the six tails are a bit troublesome.

Because among the Konoha ninja present, very few knew sealing techniques. Even if they did, their skill level was at most similar to Mikami Yu, and they could only temporarily suppress the Six-Tails, but not seal it into a container or a human body.

Of course, letting go of such an important strategic resource is absolutely out of the question. Even if they don't swallow it up directly, they have to sell it back to Kirigakure at a high price.

"...Alright, I'll trouble you few who know sealing techniques to suppress it manually here."

Tsunade waved her hand: "Among the reinforcements sent by the old man, there are several members of the sealing squad. They should arrive tomorrow. If not, I'll write another letter to the old man and ask him to send a few more people. Kirigakure shouldn't be coming back to seize it so soon, right?"

Chapter 294 Tsunade's "Reward": Fugaku Uchiha: "My nephew Shisui has the potential of our ancestor!"

"That shouldn't be the case."

Mikami Yu shook his head.

After these two rounds of attack and defense, the elite Jonin of Kirigakure have been almost wiped out, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are practically extinct. Apart from the user of the Hiramekarei twin swords who has not yet appeared, the others are either lying on the ground or staying in the prison cells of Konoha.

The losses among the lower and middle-ranking ninjas were also considerable, with several hundred captured or killed.

Under these circumstances, even if the Kirigakure leadership were willing to make a comeback, it would be difficult to launch a large-scale offensive again; they would likely focus on small-scale harassment operations.

The only variable is the spot.

After showing up tonight, this guy only kidnapped Nohara Rin and didn't attack anyone else. He only knocked out Uchiha Inahi and the other two, without killing them. The reason for this is probably that he's too proud to bully a group of juniors.

but……

If Madara's plan is disrupted and cannot be implemented smoothly as expected, it's hard to say whether he can still refrain from taking action.

With everything almost arranged,

Yu Mikami turned and walked back.

Tsunade followed behind.

the other side,

Obito, Kakashi, and Kurenai, who were scattered in several places on the battlefield, noticed Mikami Yu's actions one after another, handed over their tasks to their Konoha companions, and then quickly followed.

Shisui hesitated for a moment, then didn't move.

After all, it looked like an internal meeting was about to take place. As an ordinary Uchiha without any official authority, he had no legitimate reason to participate. If it were "Deputy Commander" Fugaku, he could have joined in the fun, but the latter was still unconscious and it was unknown when he would wake up.

A few minutes later, inside the base.

It was still that small conference room that was being used as a command post.

Several people, some standing and some sitting, formed a circle around the small square table.

Mikami Yu cleared his throat and got straight to the point: "I have bad news for you. Rin has been taken away by the people of Kirigakure."

"...What?! So it was them who did it?!"

Obito was the first to widen his eyes: "Oh my god, how could the people of Kirigakure be so evil! We defeated them, and they still kidnapped Rin. They're utterly heartless!"

Kakashi was also briefly taken aback, then narrowed his eyes, recalling what had happened earlier, and grasped the key point: "Was it when that big blue bird passed by the battlefield?"

"Yes."

Yu Mikami nodded: "That bird is called 'Yata no Tori,' a special kind of summoning beast. The one who kidnapped Rin was the one who rode that bird over the battlefield. He is very strong... possibly close to the Five Kage."

Mikami Yu did not directly mention Uchiha Madara's name.

After all, this news was quite shocking.

Moreover, he had no evidence to prove that "Uchiha Madara is still alive." He couldn't very well do what the Great Toad Sage did and say that he dreamed about it at night.

Even if Tsunade and the others were to unconditionally believe him based on a single statement, it wouldn't be of much help and might even bring them trouble. Unless it were Minato Namikaze or Jiraiya, that would be a different story, since both of them genuinely possessed methods to deal with Madara.

Therefore, we can only shift the blame to Mist Village for now.

Obito began to beat his chest and stamp his feet, gritting his teeth, filled with righteous indignation.

Kurenai Yuhi pondered for a moment, then raised her right hand and asked in a low voice, "I have a question: why did the people of Kirigakure kidnap Rin?"

"Although Rin is very talented, she's just a medical ninja, unlike you, Kakashi, and Shisui, who are so important to the base. What's the point of going to such great lengths to capture her? Is it to use Rin to threaten us in exchange for hostages?"

"...It's hard to say right now. After all, they are the ones who set the questions, and we are the ones who solve them. I don't know what they are thinking."

Mikami paused for a moment, then said, "But since they chose to kidnap Lin instead of killing her, she should be safe for now. We need to finish what we're doing as soon as possible and then set up a search and rescue team to search for her."

"It's easy to say, but we don't even know where Rin is! We can't exactly run all the way to Kirigakure to ask her!" Obito stamped his foot in frustration.

"I do have a solution for this."
