Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

For a time, he was speechless.

At this moment, Chiyo also began to realize what was going on.

Yes.

Sunagakure went to great lengths to capture the One-Tailed Beast, even rejecting Hashirama Senju's proposal to share the tailed beasts at the first Five Kage Summit. This resulted in the Seven-Tailed Beast, which they should have had a chance to acquire, falling into the hands of Takigakure. As a result, for all these years, they have kept the One-Tailed Beast and Bunpuku locked up in a temple...

Isn't this a waste of resources?

Sunagakure was the first to arrive, whether it was capturing the tailed beasts or developing sealing techniques... how come the Cloud Village and Iwa Village were the first to implement the tailed beast weaponization? Even the weaklings from Kirigakure were faster than Sunagakure!

From this perspective, Sunagakure really should reflect on this.

If they had paid more attention to Bunpuku and developed the One-Tailed Jinchuriki earlier, putting him into battle sooner, these Shinobi World Wars wouldn't have turned out so badly.

but……

Chiyo held reservations about whether Jinchūriki should be bullied.

There wasn't any particular reason, I just felt it should be this way—

Let alone Jinchuriki, which ordinary ninja hasn't been bullied a few times when they were young? You're a Jinchuriki, you're already stronger than everyone else, so what's wrong with being bullied a little? Will you lose a bit of chakra?

Furthermore, even the Hidden Cloud Village, which has the fastest development in tailed beast weapons, is bullying Killer Bee and Yugito Nii. Who knows if this is a necessary part of creating tailed beast weapons? What if the Jinchuriki is crippled if this step is missing?

If you don't know how someone did it, the best way to replicate their achievements is, of course, to copy them exactly, without making a single mistake!

Thinking of this,

Chiyo carefully considered her words before speaking: "If it is you, Lord Yekura... of course you have some qualifications to become a Jinchuriki, but the fact that a village's Kage has served as a Jinchuriki is unprecedented in the history of Sunagakure and even the ninja world. Please consider this carefully."

"In addition, Ebizo, the elders, and I will continue to look for suitable successors in the village to become Jinchūriki. If there are no better candidates, it will not be too late for you to step forward yourself."

"……All right."

Ye Cang nodded.

What she said just now wasn't because she really liked the One-Tailed Beast, but because she felt there were very few trustworthy and capable people in Sunagakure. Rather than handing the One-Tailed Beast over to a stranger and gambling on whether the other party could tame it, it was better to keep it in her own hands to avoid any unforeseen complications.

But if one were to truly become a Jinchūriki...

We need to consider a few more things.

Perhaps we could ask that white-haired brat for his opinion through the Kamaitachi. He recently captured two tailed beasts from Kirigakure and is probably considering how to deal with them.

At that moment, Yecang put aside his thoughts and said, "As for the other matter, namely forming a military alliance with Konoha to jointly attack the Lightning and Water Nations, we cannot make a decision easily for the time being. Please go back and collect the opinions of ninjas at all levels in the village to see if they still have the willingness to participate in the war again."

"I'm planning a visit to Konoha soon. Given the current strength of Konoha and Sunagakure, if we form an alliance, Konoha will inevitably take the lead, so... I need to sound out Konoha's opinion first."

"Alright."

Chiyo and the others nodded in agreement.

Since the goal is to strengthen relations with Konoha, having the "Kage" himself make a visit would be the best way to demonstrate sincerity. Even if Yekura didn't say so, they would probably try to persuade him, but the latter taking the initiative saves them a lot of trouble with words.

This concludes the meeting of the Sand Village's high-ranking officials.

Toguri and the others got up and left one after another, and Chiyo and Ebizo also left after saying goodbye to Yokura.

Only Karyu was stopped by Yokura.

"Hmm? Ye... what are your orders, Lord Fengying?"

Karyu looked back with a hint of confusion.

Ye Cang smiled and said casually, "The meeting is over. In this private setting, there's no need to address each other by our titles. How have you been lately? Are you getting along well with that guy Luo Sha?"

"Fortunately, he has become much quieter after his crushing defeat last time, and is no longer as stubborn as before. Temari, on the other hand, has been quite fussy lately, requiring diaper changes several times a day, which is really troublesome."

"Kaluga said with a smile."

That's right.

Even before this ceasefire with Konoha, Karyu had already established a marital relationship with Rasa and had their first daughter, Temari.

Originally, Karyu had considered having another child after the war ended, but Rasa became somewhat depressed because of the disastrous defeat at Kikyo Mountain. He would go to the mountains to mine whenever he had free time, leaving early and returning late every day, so the original plan to have a child had to be postponed.

Incidentally, as a Jonin of Sunagakure, Karura had a lot of official duties. Rasa wasn't the kind of person who could patiently raise children and change their diapers. Fortunately, Yashamaru, Karura's twin brother and a medical ninja, would come to help from time to time, so Temari was taken care of quite well.

Yecang hesitated for a moment, then said, "In a few days, come with me to Konoha."

"...Huh?"

Galyu was taken aback.

"Regarding the matter of strengthening the alliance with Konoha that we just discussed at the meeting, I would like you to serve as the captain of my Shadow Guard, responsible for protecting me on my journey to Konoha."

Ye Cang said.

Compared to the other ninja villages, Sunagakure is the one with the most depleted talent pool, even surpassing Kirigakure, which has been tempered by decades of the Blood Mist policy. With Rasa out of consideration, Pakura could only place her hopes for the Shadow Guard on Karura, a person with whom she had a good relationship and whose strength was also considerable.

As for the remaining candidates...

Then we'll have to choose from among Maki and the others.

These guys are much weaker. Relatively speaking, even the best one, Maki, is only at the level of an elite Chunin, still quite a distance from a Jonin. But they should be able to handle most small situations.

After all, not everyone is named Yu Mikami.

Most ninjas at the age of twelve or thirteen are only at the level of ordinary Chunin; those who reach the level of Special Jonin are extremely rare. Given Sunagakure's current situation of a talent gap, Pakura can't very well dig out a few geniuses from the desert to fill a void...

Speaking of Yu Mikami...

Yekura sighed softly, "It's a pity that guy isn't in Konoha right now..."

Otherwise, watching the other party, as a Konoha ninja, respectfully address him as "Kazekage-sama"... would certainly be a very interesting scene, wouldn't it?

……

"blood pressure……"

"Heartbeat..."

"Observe the pupils..."

The location is behind the Zhuohua Town base, inside a row of medical tents.

Mikami Yu is performing surgery on Hyuga Hizashi.

Kurenai Yuhi helped out from the side.

Tsunade, meanwhile, sat far away in a corner of the room, casually flipping through medical books while listening to Mikami Yu's narration of the surgery's progress, helping to oversee and provide guidance.

—Originally, the job of assisting should have been done by Nohara Rin.

Rin had previously performed vision correction surgery on Kabuto Yashima while on the battlefield in Sunagakure, so she had some experience in this type of surgery. However, her current condition is not very stable, and there is a risk of her going berserk, so she has been temporarily placed in the tent to rest, and Kurenai Yuhi has taken over.

The latter's medical ninjutsu skills were naturally far inferior to Rin's; she was only slightly better than a complete novice, but she was still capable of being a nurse who simply handed over scalpels.

A full hour later.

This tense and precise eye surgery has finally come to an end.

Yu Mikami raised his blood-stained hands, used his "Palm Healing Technique" to complete the final stitching, and then let out a long sigh of relief. Just as he was about to wipe his sweat, Kurenai Yuhi handed him a handkerchief, stood on tiptoe slightly, and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Thanks, Hong."

Mikami Yu said with a smile.

and also……

(Thanks, healing spell.)

As Mikami Yu spoke, the "Healing Spell" in the Corner System responded:

[Hand Spell (Healing Spell): Huh, Xiao You has grown up so much that she doesn't even call me "Mommy" anymore? That's really heartbreaking~]

(Forehead……)

[Hand Spell (Healing Spell): Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Why would Mommy hold a grudge? The surgery was a success mainly thanks to Xiaoyou herself. Seeing Xiaoyou grow up to where she is now makes Mommy very proud.]

"..."

Ok.

During the surgery just now, Mikami Yu did use the "Healer's Palm Technique" several times, and received the latter's full assistance. However, Mikami Yu felt a little embarrassed about calling the healing technique "Mom".

Although he was the one who initially coined the term...

At this time.

Hyuga Hizashi himself also emerged from the anesthesia, feeling the strange sensation under the gauze covering his eyes. He opened his mouth, then stopped speaking, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to.

"Don't move."

Mikami Yu pressed down on Hyuga Hizashi's shoulder: "Your surgery has just been completed, and it's still uncertain whether your vision will recover to normal. Rest well for a few days and don't try to use your eyes. It's not too late to try after the gauze is removed. If everything goes smoothly, you should at least be able to see properly again."

"...Thank you very much."

Hyuga Hizashi thanked him in a low voice.

He had long been prepared to retire after losing his sight; in fact, normally speaking, he would most likely have died at the Mist Village outpost the moment his eyes were injured. The fact that he was able to return safely to the outpost and undergo surgery is already a remarkable achievement; whether he fully recovers is no longer important.

To this, Mikami Yu smiled slightly: "You're welcome. Back when I was at the Ninja Academy, I received your guidance, so it's only right that I give back now."

He said a few more words,

Yu Mikami gestured for Kurenai Yuhi to give Hizashi Hyuga the medical instructions, while he washed the blood off his hands and walked to Tsunade in the corner of the room.

"How about it?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

"There shouldn't be any problem."

Mikami Yu nodded, then glanced at Tsunade's slightly pale face and tentatively asked in a low voice, "By the way...Tsunade-sensei, are you... not good at seeing blood?"

"Huh? What nonsense! I'm the number one medical ninja in the ninja world, how could I not be able to stand the sight of blood..."

Tsunade instinctively wanted to retort, but as she spoke, her tone softened: "Heh... you actually figured it out, kid? Well, it's nothing serious. I've just not been feeling well lately and I dislike the smell of blood. Don't go around telling everyone about this, or I won't let you off the hook."

As she spoke, Tsunade waved her fist as a show of force.

"..."

In Yu Mikami's view, Tsunade's hemophobia is a potential hidden danger.

Back in Konoha, it didn't matter, because she usually didn't need to take action herself. With Hiruzen Sarutobi and others helping her, even if something happened occasionally, it could be easily covered up.

But now that Tsunade has actually arrived at the Hidden Mist battlefield, this symptom has become a ticking time bomb. Mikami Yu is trying to think of a way to help her resolve this problem.

but……

Easier said than done

How exactly to do it is somewhat debatable.

After all, in the original story, Tsunade overcame her hemophobia only after witnessing Naruto being nearly killed by Kabuto and being inspired by his unwavering will. Naruto isn't even born yet... Does she expect him to emulate her and put on a similar act in front of Tsunade to provoke her?

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

However, given Mikami Yu's current strength, finding an enemy who can reasonably "defeat" him without actually suffering a defeat is probably not too easy.

We need to make a proper plan...

Chapter 310 Kurenai Yuhi: Could Rin Nohara have done it? "The Golden Flash" vs. "The White Reaper"

"Yu, Lady Tsunade, what were you talking about just now?"

Kurenai's voice came from behind, sounding quite cheerful: "Ha, finally finished this surgery. How about you train with me for a bit later, Yu? I've recently gained some insights into the Illusion Technique. I wonder how effective it is in actual combat. I've been wanting to find someone to spar with."

"……sure."

Yu Mikami stopped the conversation about "hemophobia," glanced back at the expectant Kurenai, and nodded slightly: "You put in a lot of effort for this surgery, so consider this training session as a thank you gift."

Beside her, Tsunade glanced between Mikami Yu and Yuhi Kurenai with a half-smile, then stretched and said, "Well, I've been itching to do something these past few days. Since I'm free anyway, why don't I help you check your training progress? And also see how talented Kurenai's daughter is."

"Well... that's fine too."

Yu Mikami was indifferent to this.

Anyway, his current strength is already on par with Tsunade's, so there's no need to be afraid of her testing him.

From another perspective, as a seasoned Jonin from a powerful clan, Tsunade's reserves of ninjutsu far surpass his. If she could seize this opportunity to acquire a couple more new ninjutsu or skins from him, that would be a pretty good outcome.

the other side.
