Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Until then,

Tsunade turned her head to look at Mikami Yu: "I heard that Uchiha clan members often undergo a drastic change in personality after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, as if they become a different person. I didn't expect Fugaku to seem quite normal, no different from before. It seems that my great-grandfather's research results are not entirely true."

"Second Grandfather?"

Mikami Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Ah."

Tsunade nodded, pulled a neatly folded piece of paper from the pocket of her Jonin vest, and handed it over:

"Here, this is an article left by the Second Hokage. I figured I might run into a newly awakened Uchiha on this trip, so I brought this with me. If you're interested, you can take a look and learn how to deal with an Uchiha whose personality has changed drastically."

Yu Mikami took the piece of paper, unfolded it, and glanced at it:

A Study on the Neurotic Behavior of the Uchiha Clan and its Linkage Mechanism to Increased Eye Power [J]. Forbidden Technique Research. Tobirama Senju

"..."

Good guy.

Yu Mikami exclaimed, "Wow!"

What kind of academic paper is this, set in the Naruto world? ...Looking at the annotations, it seems that Tobirama Senju even had a personal academic column back then?

It seems he doesn't know enough about the Second Hokage. He should read more of his works in the future to see if he can glean anything useful, such as the skin fragments of the "harem group's" ninjutsu...

That concludes the discussion on the Uchiha clan.

The battle broke out in the middle of the night.

When everything settled down, it was already the next morning, and the sky was beginning to lighten.

Yu Mikami left the rest of the work to Tsunade and went back to his room to catch up on sleep.

He slept for most of the day.

Until the afternoon.

Yusai Mikami was awakened by Kurenai Yuhi.

"Yu, you're awake?"

Kurenai sat on the edge of the bed, her chin resting on her hands, staring intently at Yu Mikami. As soon as he opened his eyes, her face lit up with joy: "Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water. And this bowl of vegetable and lean meat soup, it was just delivered from the kitchen, it's still warm. Let me feed you..."

"Ahem... I'll do it myself."

Mikami Yu coughed lightly, declining Kurenai Yuhi's offer to feed him.

After all, this kind of thing is a bit too embarrassing. Mikami Yu just used up too much chakra, so he took a nap. It's not like he has broken both arms or needs someone to feed him.

Kurenai Yuhi seemed genuinely interested in feeding Yu Mikami, but after being refused, she felt a little resentful. So, clutching a handkerchief, she sat to the side and took every opportunity to wipe Yu Mikami's mouth.

see,

Yu Mikami carefully finished his soup before asking, "By the way, has anything changed outside? Where is Tsunade-sensei now?"

"It's alright. The main things are repairing the base and gathering intelligence, which Kakashi and the others are working on. As for Lady Tsunade, it seems she went to help treat the wounded."

"?"

Mikami Yu raised an eyebrow.

That woman... doesn't she have hemophobia? How could she go and check on the wounded?

Hmm... If it's just about reviewing medical records and developing treatment plans, without personally going to the bedside to examine the wounds, that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, that's what Tsunade did when she was at Konoha Hospital, and no one except for those in the know like Sarutobi Biwako noticed anything amiss.

After a bowl of hot soup,

Yu Mikami felt much better.

He stretched, jumped off the bed, and stretched his neck and arms a few times before going out to work.

From a purely statistical perspective, Konoha can be said to have won a resounding victory in this battle against Kirigakure.

This attack by Kirigakure was even larger than the previous one by the Kisame Hoshigaki organization, essentially a full-scale offensive. Despite suffering losses, Konoha managed to defeat them and nearly wipe out several of Kirigakure's key figures, a truly remarkable achievement.

Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui made significant contributions to this.

Yu Mikami has already discussed it with Tsunade and they plan to report the truthfully. At the same time, in Tsunade's name, they will nominate Shisui as a prospective Jonin, as a way to show some goodwill to the Uchiha and see if they can reciprocate.

Kakashi, Shigure, Suneo Honekawa... and even Obito, among others, all had their own outstanding performances and needed to report back to Konoha for credit.

As for Mikami Yu himself...

He no longer values ​​these empty titles.

After all, he has already made a name for himself in the recent battles. Apart from Minato Namikaze, who has shone brightly on the Cloud Village front, it would be difficult to find anyone in Konoha who can rival him in terms of merit.

Therefore,

Unless Mikami Yu wants to compete with Namikaze Minato for the position of Fourth Hokage, whether or not he receives new merits will not have a significant impact on his status and reputation in Konoha. The only use is to exchange them for some ninjutsu, but there aren't many options left.

At this moment, Yu Mikami is more concerned about the situation of his "harem".

Especially the water array walls.

The "Water Wall" affinity had long since reached the critical point of 99, but it was held back by a special event that prevented it from breaking through to the final point. Now, after the battle with Kirigakure, that step has finally been taken—

[Water Formation Wall's current affinity: 100/100 (Heart to Heart)]

(4 stage rewards obtained: Constitution +4, Trait: Water-Sky Barrier: Your Water Barrier possesses a strong self-management ability, continuously absorbing moisture from the air and surrounding water to prepare for potential battles. Casting speed and defense are increased by 100%. Additionally, you can consume more chakra to create a wide-area "Water-Sky Barrier," within which you can control all water-style techniques used by enemy units.)

The [Water and Sky Barrier] can be considered the ultimate enhancement of [Water Fusion], not only doubling its strength but also adding the ability to "control others' water escape techniques".

Yu Mikami was quite satisfied with this.

In this way, he will have two Water Release techniques with full affinity.

"Water turbulence" and "water array".

If I can get another full favorability rating between "Water Transformation Technique" and "Water Mirror Technique"... then I reckon I can unlock a bond effect similar to [Heavenly Fire Judgment] in terms of Water Escape.

Then, the favorability ratings for "Super Strength" and "Transparent Escape" both exceeded 80.

Furthermore...

That is "Hatake Sword Technique".

In this battle, Mikami Yu personally killed three members of the "Ninja Swordsmen," but only Kushimaru Kurihara met the criteria for "Number One Swordsman in the World." The other two were immediately dismissed from their ranks by Hatake's swordsmanship. The wielder of the "Twin Swords - Hiramekarei" has yet to appear.

Therefore, only 1/8 of the progress was made in the end.

but……

Upon waking up, Yu Mikami discovered that his shadow clone had unexpectedly brought him a reward.

[Ding! Host has successfully defeated "New Yin-Yang Sword Technique". Special event "The World's Greatest Sword Technique" progress: 8/8 (Completed)]

[Hatake's swordsmanship affinity +1, current affinity: 100/100 (Heart to Heart)]

That's right.

While Konoha and Kirigakure were locked in a fierce power struggle, Mikami Yu's shadow clone, which he had previously sent to the Land of Iron, finally defeated the successor of the "Shinkage-ryu" swordsmanship, completing the final piece of the puzzle for "the greatest swordsmanship in the world," and thus unlocking a new characteristic of the "Hatake Swordsmanship"—

[Unwavering Focus: Your understanding of the principles of "Hatake Sword Technique" has reached a state of perfection. When wielding the sword, your mind is free of distractions, and the sword moves with your will. You can concentrate your life's beliefs and chakra into the blade, unleashing a strike beyond your limits. This strike will ignore any conventional physical defense and directly slash at the target's "lifeline."]

"Wow!"

Yu Mikami's eyes lit up immediately.

Although it hasn't been tested yet, judging from the current situation...

This [Mindless Focus] is clearly a concept-based ability! It can inflict true damage on anything that is "alive"!

Now...

Even against Madara Uchiha, he would probably have a fighting chance!

[Hatake's Sword Technique: Hmph, I've always said my swordsmanship is invincible. What "Ninja Swordsmen" or "Uchiha"? They're nothing but a bunch of frauds, how could they compare to me? Even so-called gods and immortals, I'll cut them down without hesitation!]

"Yes, yes, yes, little Hatake is the best! Love you~"

[Phoenix Fire Technique: What about me? What about me? Didn't the mistress say she liked me the most before she came along?]

"Yes, I love you too, Xiao Fengxian."

While praising it, Mikami Yu secretly pondered where to try out the effects of "Musou-ichishin" (Musou-ichishin).

If Shisui doesn't mind... it would be best to ask him to activate Susanoo and cut it for him.

Consider it practice before rescuing Nohara Rin.

"Oh right, I'll ask Shisui later and try to get a summoning contract with the Uchiha crows. They're pretty useful as scouts, and they can also increase the favorability of 'Summoning Jutsu' by a few points..."

"And those old scrolls Tsunade gave me, take out all the contents about sealing techniques and summoning techniques, and give them away..."

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

Although it's a bit difficult to raise the "Summoning Jutsu" affinity to 90 and unlock "Flying Thunder God" before rescuing Lin, trying to raise the affinity of these jutsu as much as possible can be considered as giving yourself a few more trump cards.

Thinking this, Mikami Yu picked up the "White Fang Short Sword" and walked out of the tent.

……

Time flew by and it was already the afternoon of the following day.

The main force of reinforcements from Konoha finally arrived in the vicinity of Shoka Town, covered in dust from their journey.

The reinforcements number approximately three hundred.

Leading the group was none other than Kurenai Yuhi.

Upon seeing her father, Kurenai's eyes reddened slightly, and she immediately ran over to greet him.

Yuhi Shinku hugged her daughter tightly, patting her back, her expression a mixture of surprise and sorrow. In such a time of war, to see a loved one unharmed on the battlefield was truly a fortunate thing.

"Hong, you've lost weight. Have you not been eating properly lately?"

"No, Yu and the others have always taken good care of me."

Upon hearing Kurenai's reply,

Kurenai Yuu glanced at Yu Mikami behind her, her gaze somewhat subtle. She had a feeling of déjà vu, like a single father seeing a young boy on a bicycle carrying his daughter home.

Chapter 296 Sacred Relic: Tsunade's Necklace, Uchiha Clan Limited Event: "Beating Up the Ancestor"

Kurenai Yuhi is a professional Jonin after all, and she wouldn't let personal feelings interfere with her mission.

He quickly came over and discussed the change of guard at the outpost with Mikami Yu.

"...That's basically the situation."

Mikami Yu briefly explained, then paused: "During this period, the original garrison on the southeast defense line has suffered heavy losses from continuous combat, and has even been forced to abandon the defense of several strongholds. We will have to ask Senior Shinku to take good care of the subsequent defense work."

"No problem."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded, then couldn't help but tease, "Speaking of which, you've been making quite a splash lately. I heard you've even given Kirigakure a psychological scar. Minato has also been shining on the Kumogakure battlefield. You two, teacher and student, one a 'Yellow Flash' and the other a 'White Reaper'... it's really interesting."

"It's just an empty reputation, not worth mentioning."

Mikami Yu humbly said.

Kurenai Yuhi chuckled: "Heh, you don't need to be so reserved in front of me. At your age, it's only natural to be a little arrogant. What kind of young person wouldn't be so spirited?"

"..."

Yu Mikami's lips twitched slightly.

That's what I meant...

If I really got arrogant and dressed up as an Uchiha to talk to you, you'd probably be unhappy again...

After that, Yuhi Makoto said a few more words and then spoke to her daughter.

Unlike her conversation with Yuu Mikami, Shinku Yuhi spoke to Kurenai Yuhi with caring and intimate words. Unfortunately, Kurenai Yuhi kept bringing up Yuu Mikami, her eyes shining as she spoke, which made Shinku Yuhi quite unhappy.

the other side.

Mikami Yu chatted with Asuma and Hyuga Hizashi for a few minutes.

Asuma returned to Konoha when he dealt with Danzo's matter, and stayed for a while longer after Mikami Yu returned. Now he has returned with the team. Hyuga Hizashi first withdrew from the Sunagakure battlefield to the village, and then was sent out again to lead a group of Hyuga clansmen to the Kirigakure battlefield. It can be said that the capable are given more responsibilities.

Anyway,

The arrival of Kurenai Yuhi and others greatly alleviated the manpower shortage on the southeastern defense line. Many Konoha veterans who had experienced several bloody battles were rotated out and given a few days off to rest and recover from their injuries.
