Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Kurenai Yuhi seemed a little nervous, feeling that her meager skills were probably not enough to be noticed by the strongest female ninja in the ninja world. If she couldn't even withstand a few moves later, it would be quite embarrassing...

Kurenai's premonition...

It soon came true—

About ten minutes later.

On the sandy training ground behind the Zhuohua Town base.

"boom--!"

With a dull thud as a fist struck flesh, Tsunade and Kurenai Yuhi crossed paths.

Tsunade flicked her wrist, glanced at Kurenai Yuhi who had collapsed several meters away, and casually remarked, "Your combat awareness is decent, and your technique is somewhat interesting, but... your strength is far too weak. I'm afraid any elite Chunin skilled in taijutsu could disarm you in just a few exchanges."

"..."

Kurenai Yuhi propped herself up with one hand, rubbing her slightly numb arm while biting her lip in silence.

Her taijutsu (physical skills) has always been her weakness. Even though she had trained hard and was better than in the original timeline, she was still only at a lower-middle level among ninjas of her age. That's why, at Mikami Yu's suggestion, she focused on genjutsu (illusionary techniques) and used taijutsu as a supplement.

This fighting style might be okay for bullying junior ninjas, since very few ninjas at that level are proficient in genjutsu.

—To be precise, genjutsu-type ninjas are inherently a minority. While Konoha appears to have a large number due to the presence of the Uchiha clan, if we exclude Uchiha with Sharingan, genjutsu ninjas probably only make up one-fifth or even less of the total ninja population, making them a rare profession.

but……

Against a ninja of Tsunade's caliber, this "body illusion technique" is practically useless.

The latter easily saw through these tricks. With a simple parry, he made Kurenai's arm go numb, and then followed up with an over-the-shoulder throw, sending her flying. She couldn't use any of the follow-up moves she had prepared.

"Well, given your situation, you might be well-suited to learning the Super Strength Technique. After all, people who specialize in genjutsu generally have strong chakra control. If you can learn to concentrate your chakra and unleash it, it can perfectly compensate for your weakness in strength." Tsunade paused, then added.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes lit up, revealing an expectant expression. "Lady Tsunade, could it be that you're going to..."

Does this mean you're taking her as your apprentice?

That would be wonderful...

Don't overthink it.

Tsunade seemed to see through Kurenai's thoughts, waved her hand, and denied it, saying, "I'm already tired enough taking care of that kid and Shizune. I have no interest in taking on any more disciples. If you want to learn, you can ask him. If he's willing to teach, I have no objection."

"..."

Yu Mikami was leaning against a wooden stake at the edge of the field, flipping through the "Tobirama Secret Scroll" he had obtained from Tsunade. After hearing the conversation between the two women, he looked up with a hint of helplessness, and then nodded slightly under Kurenai's gaze: "Sure."

"Great!"

Kurenai Yuhi clenched her little fist, a look of delight on her face.

It's a bit of a pity that he wasn't accepted as a disciple by Tsunade.

But... Yu Mikami is better.

Whether she can learn the "super strength technique" is another matter; firstly, she can use this opportunity to interact with Mikami Yuta a few times, communicate, and cultivate a relationship—that would be perfect. Can Nohara Rin do it? It seems her "illusion body technique" is indeed useful after all…

The group had only exchanged a few words when...

Then, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard outside the training field.

However, it was Minato Namikaze, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi who were walking towards the training ground together.

"Wow, it's quite lively here. It's rare to see Lady Tsunade taking the time to come to the training grounds and give pointers to the juniors."

Minato Namikaze greeted him with a smile.

Tsunade snorted coldly, crossing her arms: "Hmph, I am one of the Legendary Sannin, and my performance on the battlefield back then was far superior to your lecherous master. Is it strange for me to appear on the training ground? As for you two, do you have something to say since you came together?"

"Yes."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then turned his gaze to Yu Mikami: "The situation on the southeastern defense line has stabilized for the time being. It seems that the Uchiha... Kirigakure side has no intention of launching any more surprise attacks for the time being. I plan to take Rin back to the village as soon as possible and ask Kushina to help reinforce the seal, lest things get complicated."

"Yu, what are your plans?"

"You led the team to complete the mission of rescuing Rin, and you also faced and defeated that other person. Therefore, it is more appropriate for you to report to the Hokage."

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's words,

Mikami Yu hesitated for a moment before replying, "Then let's pick a time in the next few days to go back together. After all, this battle involved that person, and we need to let the village know as soon as possible."

"That one" naturally refers to Uchiha Madara.

Minato Namikaze and Tsunade both knew the inside story.

However, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai were also present. This level of information was not suitable for them, who were still Chunin, to know, so the two did not reveal the matter here. Instead, they planned to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others about what had happened in person after returning to Konoha.

As for what decision the Konoha F3 will make after learning this information...

That makes it hard to guess.

Given Konoha's current strategic advantage on the battlefield, it's unlikely that Hiruzen Sarutobi would order Mikami Yu to commit suicide and return the Six-Tails to appease Kirigakure's anger, as he did in the Hinata incident in the original timeline.

He said a few more words,

Kurenai Yuhi seemed to recall something and said jokingly, "Speaking of which, Minato, Yu, you two are now infamous. One is the 'White Reaper,' striking fear into the hearts of Sunagakure and Kirigakure; the other is the 'Yellow Flash,' prompting the Raikage to order that any encounter with him be grounds for immediate mission abandonment..."

"I wonder, between the two of you, who's faster now?"

"?"

Mikami Yu was taken aback.

Tsunade, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow and said half-jokingly, "What, Shinku, are you perhaps trying to incite infighting between those two, master and disciple?"

"Ahem... Lady Tsunade, you flatter me. I was just a little curious. After all, I've seen Yu's speed, not to mention Minato's 'Flying Thunder God Technique.' The thought of a duel between these speedsters is quite interesting, isn't it?"

Hearing what Kurenai Yuhi said,

Minato Namikaze stroked his chin, also becoming somewhat interested.

Well, it had been a while since he'd seen Mikami Yu and the others. The last time they met was during the Chunin Exams. After that, Minato's team was split in two; Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya were transferred to the Kumogakure battlefield, while Mikami Yu led Kakashi and the others to the Kirigakure battlefield... After that, both sides displayed their prowess on the battlefield.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze was also a little curious about Mikami Yu's current strength.

"How about... we give it a try?"

"It's just a friendly spar, nothing more. Of course, if you don't want to, then that's fine."

Minato Namikaze looked at Yu Mikami with a gentle smile.

"……All right."

Yu Mikami nodded.

Soon, a clearing was created on the training field.

Yu Mikami and Minato Namikaze stood on opposite sides of the field.

Besides Tsunade, Kurenai Yuhi, and a few others, there were also Kakashi and Obito who had just arrived, as well as Fugaku Uchiha and a few others. Hearing that the "White Reaper" and the "Yellow Flash" were going to have a solo match, many people with time in the base came to see the two of them.

Even further afield, some people secretly opened betting odds, wanting to gamble on who would be the winner of this competition, attracting many to place bets privately.

Tsunade clearly also wanted to place a bet, but given the current situation and her role as a wartime commander, she finally suppressed the thought. However, she still kept glancing at the commotion out of the corner of her eye, wanting to watch the spectacle.

"Then... let's begin."

Minato Namikaze said.

As soon as he finished speaking,

The next second, Minato Namikaze's figure vanished abruptly. Then, he immediately reappeared three meters away from Yu Mikami at the point where a Flying Thunder God kunai had landed, his kunai drawing a golden arc as it thrust straight towards Yu Mikami's shoulder!

However, just a split second before the kunai was about to touch his shoulder, Mikami Yu's figure suddenly blurred, leaving only an afterimage. After being pierced by the kunai, he faded away like a faded ink painting, while he himself immediately appeared in another place, raising his hand to throw several shuriken:

"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

The shuriken split into two, then into four, instantly transforming into dozens of shadows that rushed towards Minato Namikaze!

The latter swung his kunai, and with a series of clanging sounds, blocked all the shuriken. Then, with a "body sleight of hand" technique, he rushed forward and attacked Mikami Yu again. This time, Mikami Yu chose to face him head-on. His white dagger swung into a hazy silver light, and he fought Minato in a flurry of movements.

……

"So fast!"

"As expected of Yuu and Minato-senpai, they can actually do this much. It's so difficult to even see clearly!"

at this time.

Kurenai and the others on the sidelines unconsciously widened their eyes, trying their best to capture every move on the training field.

too fast!

This group of people were already among the best of Konoha's young ninjas, and had witnessed many duels between masters. However, watching Mikami Yu and Namikaze Minato's sparring still required them to concentrate fully to keep up. And judging from the way the two of them were on the field, it seemed that they were only warming up.

"Show me your true skills, Yu!"

As Minato Namikaze brandished his kunai, he said in a cheerful voice, "A battle of this magnitude is simply not satisfying!"

"……it is good."

Mikami Yu responded.

next second.

Both of them quickened their pace simultaneously. Minato Namikaze waved one hand, scattering a large number of specially made kunai in all directions to mark key points; while Yu Mikami used his non-sword hand to form a hand seal, his figure leaving afterimages in an instant.

"Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Three Styles!"

"Instant Shadow Killing Formation!"

Swish-!

At that moment, it seemed as if dozens of Minato Namikaze and dozens of Yu Mikami had appeared on the training ground at the same time. Their figures were like two storms of different colors, one gold and one white, colliding with each other in mid-air. The sparks that flew out when the kunai and the short sword collided ignited the air and burned out a red line of fire.

In less than ten seconds,

The two have already fought nearly a thousand times.

The real body, the clones, and the afterimages left behind during high-speed movement—at first glance, it seemed as if hundreds of figures were rapidly appearing and disappearing on the training ground. Combined with the winding, blazing line of fire, it looked quite spectacular.

At this point, Kurenai and Asuma could no longer see the actions on the field clearly.

Kurenai Yuhi could barely see a little bit, and then filled in the rest with her fighting spirit.

Only Tsunade, without revealing her feelings, crossed her arms, channeled chakra into her eye sockets, narrowed her eyes, and barely kept up with the movements on the field.

"call……"

A long, drawn-out exhale.

At this moment, Mikami Yu had already activated the basic "Neural Activation Technique," and with his enhanced eyesight, he caught sight of Namikaze Minato—even under these circumstances, his reaction speed was still a notch slower than Namikaze Minato's, demonstrating the latter's superior innate attributes.

but……

Mikami Yu is, after all, someone with special abilities. He plans to increase Namikaze Minato's power a bit and see how the latter will respond...

"Overload pulse activated!"

"Super Strength Technique: Gambling Frenzy!"

As Mikami Yu channeled his chakra, his movement and sword-wielding speed suddenly increased. The next time his blade clashed with Minato Namikaze's, he used a surge of immense power to deflect his opponent, then flashed backward to create distance, his blade swirling gently in mid-air...

wow——

As the light blue flames rose from the blade, they quickly outlined two dragon shapes that swirled towards each other!

"Ninja Art...Double Dragon Annihilation!"

Chapter 311 New Target: The One-Hit Kill Technique of the Ultra-High-Speed ​​Rotating Colorless Light Sphere; Fugaku and Obito's Name Change Plan

Now, after numerous practical exercises, Yu Mikami has become quite adept at using the "Two Dragons Turn to Annihilation" technique.

To say it can be used like a basic attack might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it does allow for free and spontaneous use.

To avoid any ninjutsu criticizing him for favoritism, Mikami Yu's "Double Dragon" this time was a combination of "Dragon Flame Song" and "Dragon Fire Technique." Little Phoenix was overjoyed to get a chance to appear and started chattering in Mikami Yu's ear.

[Dragon Flame Song Technique (Phoenix Fairy Fire Technique): Wow, is it my turn to shine again? Burn! Burn! Burn! I'm going to burn everything to ashes!]

[Dragon Fire Technique: Um... the other side doesn't seem to be an enemy, it's Mikami-kun's team leader...]

[Phoenix Fire Technique: I don't care, that mistress called me out just to set me on fire! Hehe!]
