Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

……

The next day.

As usual, Yu Mikami got up early, ate breakfast, and went out for a morning exercise.

I ran into Matt Day, who was also doing his morning exercise, on the way.

Speaking of which, Mikami Yu had previously offered Might Dai a monthly salary of 50 ryo to serve as the bodyguard for the Mikami Tajima couple.

However, since he wasn't a bodyguard, I didn't see him when I got home yesterday.

And now, upon seeing it...

"what?"

Yu Mikami raised an eyebrow: "Uncle Dai, have you gained a little... weight recently?"

"Haha, you noticed it too?"

Might Guy burst into laughter, raising a thumb and showing off his pearly white teeth: "I've been eating quite well lately, and I also had a few hidden injuries treated at Konoha Hospital, so I've gained some weight... That's why I need to work even harder to give my all!"

In Chapter 319, I said that "Old Madara's faked death" was the strongest battle of wits in the ninja world. Does anyone understand?

Yu Mikami felt that Might Guy hadn't just gotten a little fatter, but a whole size bigger.

Or rather...

This is actually what Might Guy should look like.

Previously, although he looked very burly, he actually didn't have much muscle; he was mainly supported by his skeleton. But now, after more than half a year of recuperation, Might Guy's muscle reserves have increased, and he looks completely different. Standing there, he resembles half an iron tower.

If Might Guy were to open the Eight Gates Formation now and fight against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist...

Those three lucky treasures might end up single.

Of course, he can't compare to Kai.

After all, even without opening the Eight Gates, the latter is still among the top-ranked Jonin, and when all Eight Gates are opened, he approaches the Six Paths level, making him the most accomplished non-natural bloodline ninja. Not to mention Might Guy, even Mikami Yu is currently inferior.

While Yu Mikami can currently injure Madara Uchiha with his "Three Dragons Annihilation" and "Unthinkable Blade," he still has many shortcomings and falls short of being a true hexagonal Kage-level fighter. To truly reach that level, he needs to develop more bond traits.

now.

While running upside down with his hands on the ground, Might Guy shouted, "Yu! I heard you've been doing really well on the Mist Village battlefield lately!"

"so so."

Mikami Yu humbly said.

"No, no, no, I heard from Tajima and the others that you not only defeated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but also successfully captured their tailed beasts. This is an amazing achievement that Konoha has never made on the battlefield before! If only Guy were half as good as you!"

"That's not the case. Kai is very strong, he just needs a little more experience..."

The two talked as they ran around Konoha for about ten laps.

Along the way, they encountered some unruly Konoha villagers who pointed and gossiped, uttering all sorts of sarcastic remarks.

But they were ignored by Mikami Yu and Might Guy.

Afterwards, Matt Day planned to go to the back mountain to practice his knuckles again.

Before leaving, he seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped, and then pulled two green objects from his fanny pack:

"Oh, right, Yu! I'm so grateful for your and Tajima's help lately, and I don't really have anything to thank you with... This bodysuit is something I made myself. It's flexible, breathable, and of excellent quality. Why don't I give it to you as a gift? It'll be great for training!"

[Ding! A special gift item has been detected that can be given as a gift - Might's Bodysuit: Eight Gates Formation]

"...You also have tailoring skills?"

Yu Mikami's lips twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.

I didn't expect I still couldn't escape this outfit.

However, since the corner system has already identified it as a "gift," what else is there to say?

Since I'm not wearing it myself, I'll give it to "Eight Gates" later and convert it into a few points of favorability, which is pretty good.

Speaking of which...

The "Eight Gates" was one of the earliest ninjutsu techniques that Mikami Yu mastered.

Although she wasn't his primary target for various reasons, over time he had gradually raised her affection level to 6 or 70, and she was almost ready to unlock the third stage of the [Damage Pre-Storage] feature.

Yu Mikami had tried it out in his spare time before, and now he can open the first four doors almost instantly, and short-term use has virtually no impact on his body.

The fifth and sixth gates can be opened with some effort, but they are not as smooth to use as [Neural Activation Technique], and there are some flaws in their coordination with "Hatake Sword Technique", so they are rarely used in normal combat.

In theory, these two techniques can be activated simultaneously, but that would place a huge burden on the body, which even the [damage pre-store] cannot withstand.

So you can only choose one of the two.

but……

This is just the current situation.

Once you can open the seventh gate of the Eight Gates, things will be different. The "Day Tiger" technique, as described by Andy Lau, is nearly as powerful as a tailed beast and can be surprisingly effective in many battles. If you have the chance to acquire it, you should try practicing it.

That morning.

On the west side of Konoha, Yu Mikami found an empty training ground and fed all the scrolls he had copied the day before—"Sealing Evil Seal," "Five Elements Seal," "Four Symbols Seal," and "Self-Karma Binding Seal"—to the "Sealing Seal."

Accompanied by a series of +3, +4 prompts,

The favorability rating for "Sealing Seal" jumped to 93 in one go.

This shower of gifts naturally alerted the "person" who was sealed by the Dharma Seal.

This usually quiet and gloomy girl displayed an unprecedented shyness:

[Sealing Seal (biting her lip, cheeks slightly flushed): Um... thank you so much, Mikami-kun, for preparing so many beautiful new clothes for me.]

[Sealing Seals (leaning closer, her robe slightly loosened, her eyes gradually becoming hazy): I'll keep them safe and sound, and when no one's home tonight, I'll wear them separately for you to see~ We can have some red tea then, and do some... things, it'll definitely be unforgettable for you...]

[Clone Technique: Hey, what are you doing! What kind of behavior is this in public! Seriously, put your clothes on right now!]

[Fireball Jutsu: So love does fade, does it, mistress? (o_o?)]

[Substitute Technique: Stare—]

"..."

Faced with the renewed commotion within the "harem," Mikami Yu couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated, thinking to himself, "Didn't you already discuss this topic once yesterday? Why are you doing it again?"

And this "Sealing Seal" is starting to become transparent, like it's learning to drive...

Although I'm somewhat speechless about these disputes,

However, to avoid any suspicion of favoritism, Mikami Yu spent some time reassuring the many ninjas in the "harem group," promising to find a way to arrange new clothes for everyone, which finally put an end to the controversy.

then,

Mikami Yu created several shadow clones and practiced the "Self-Karma Curse Binding Seal" and several other ninjutsu he had recently acquired, such as the "Rasengan".

The person who used the "Self-Karma Curse" technique best in the original timeline was Danzo.

The latter once used this technique to imprison Sasuke during his Mangekyou Sharingan era, forcing him to unleash Susanoo in order to escape.

now,

Yu Mikami tried it himself and found that the effect was indeed remarkable.

Even his shadow clones are usually tightly bound by the spell. Only by activating "Overload Pulse" or the fifth gate of "Eight Gates" and combining it with the power-generating technique of "Super Strength Technique" can they break free, but the process is not easy.

With Mikami Yu's current strength, even a shadow clone with a fraction of his chakra would be no weaker than an ordinary Kage.

So……

"For most Kage-level characters, this move can take effect immediately, and its binding ability is very strong."

This means that...

Once Mikami Yu masters this move, he will possess the ability to deliver a fatal blow to regular Kage-level opponents—by getting close enough to touch them once, he can create a hard stun for one or two seconds. Unless they have special life-saving skills, a single strike of [Musou Isshin] can send them straight to the underworld to meet the Sage of Six Paths.

"Not bad, not bad."

"I'll try the sealing effects of the 'Five Elements Seal' and 'Four Symbols Seal' again later. Then, I'll focus on maxing out the 'Binding Seal's' favorability these next few days to see what max-value traits I can unlock. After that, I can free up time to work on other ninjutsu..."

Mikami Yu secretly began to make plans.

such as……

The most valuable strategy is undoubtedly "spirit communication".

If Mikami Yu can raise the affinity rating for this technique to 90 and successfully unlock the "Flying Thunder God" skin, then he will have achieved freedom of life and death in the ninja world. At that time, even if Madara Uchiha personally takes action in his true form, killing him will become extremely difficult.

But once Yu Mikami is given the opportunity...

The myth of the "Ninja World Asura" may well come to an end here.

……

at this time.

Located in the "Mountain Prison" near the Valley of the End.

Madara Uchiha, sitting beneath the Gedo Mazo, suddenly sneezed: "Achoo—"

Why do I feel a chill down my spine?

Madara frowned and said coldly, "Zetsu, have there been any new developments in Konoha these past few days?"

"..."

The ground not far away twitched slightly.

Then, a white Zetsu emerged from within, waving its arms and legs excitedly, responding in an exaggerated tone:

"Yes, yes, Lord Madara!"

"Recently, that white-haired boy and Nohara Rin have returned to Konoha. They stayed in the basement of Konoha Hospital for a long time last night. Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and a group of Konoha Anbu were all there. It was not advisable to investigate them directly, but judging from the subsequent events... Nohara Rin should have become a Jinchūriki."

"Is that so..."

Madara Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then spoke again: "What about the Konoha higher-ups? They should already know that I'm still alive, right?"

"That should be the case, but so far we haven't seen any intention of them making this information public. They may still be weighing the pros and cons."

"Um……"

Madara Uchiha nodded slightly.

This was expected.

Madara was indeed a rogue ninja, but he was a rogue ninja of Konoha.

If the news of his death is proven false, then while other villages still fear Ban, they might also have another thought in mind—

Could it be that Madara's defection and death were actually a conspiracy by Konoha? Was it a grand scheme he and Hashirama Senju orchestrated to wipe out the entire ninja world?

If Madara Uchiha didn't die, what about Hashirama Senju?

The mighty "God of Shinobi" died in his forties after the battle at the Valley of the End, supposedly due to "exhaustion of life force." Isn't that a bit too far-fetched? Do you understand when I say "Hashirama faked his death" was the strongest battle of wits in the shinobi world?

While these explanations cannot account for why Hashirama Senju ignored the death of his younger brother and the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan for many years afterward, once a chain of suspicion is formed, Konoha will inevitably become the target of the ninja world, repeatedly scrutinized and pressured by various ninja villages for answers.

Not to mention, the Uchiha clan itself is a ticking time bomb, with many of them being spiritual followers of Madara Uchiha, as well as people who use Madara's name to seek personal gain.

Uchiha Setsuna, who led a rebellion during the Second Hokage's era, is still alive.

Before preparing for these potential consequences, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others will inevitably be cautious about announcing that Madara is still alive.

"Keep an eye on them, pay close attention to the movements of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, and tell Black Zetsu to find a way to provoke a conflict between them and Konoha."

"Also, how's the investigation into the 'Grim Reaper' that I asked you to do last time progressing?"

Madara Uchiha asked.

"This one……"

White Zetsu scratched his head: "Aside from the 'Reaper Death Seal,' there's no other way to summon a 'Shinigami' yet. And once the 'Reaper Death Seal' is used, a sacrifice must be made. Several White Zetsu have died recently, and we still haven't figured out what's going on with that white-haired brat's swordsmanship..."

"However, we have made some discoveries regarding other related clues."

"Oh?"

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow.
