Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Ye Cang's expression didn't change much, but his heart was in turmoil.

The Sand Village side has a general understanding of the situation on the Kirigakure battlefield.

However, the fact that Minato Namikaze and Yu Mikami returned to the village was not mentioned in the intelligence report.

In Sunagakure's perception, the former is currently still on the Kumogakure battlefield, passionately fighting with the AB brothers;

As for the latter... that's strange. When did this white-haired guy come back? Isn't he the commander of Konoha's southeastern defense line? How did he sneak back?

Could it be that……

He came all the way back from the Hidden Mist battlefield just to see me because he saw my letter.

Even Yekura herself thought the idea was a bit far-fetched.

After all, Mikami Yu is now one of Konoha's elite Jonin, so it's unlikely he would make such a move for personal reasons. It's highly probable that something happened on Konoha's part that led to this reshuffle.

of course,

It's one thing to understand rationally.

Emotionally, due to some subtle psychological reasons, Yekura couldn't help but think in this direction.

opposite.

Yu Mikami sat cross-legged atop a telephone pole, sipping a special edition Coca-Cola worth 82 ounces, calmly watching Yekura and her group walking towards the Hokage Building on the road not far away.

He was naturally notified of such a significant event as the visit of Sunagakure.

Although the higher-ups, considering his "grudge" with Sunagakure, did not allow him to come and greet them, Mikami Yu had nothing else to do, so he naturally came to join in the fun.

how to say……

This was the first time he had ever seen Ye Cang in the Wind Shadow Robe version.

I feel like I can't recognize her when she's dressed up.

but……

"Is this guy here too?"

Mikami Yu shifted his gaze to the right, looking at Rasa at the back of the group.

at this time.

Following the direction Yekura had just indicated, Luo Sha saw Mikami Yu.

Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.

The thought that his current predicament was all thanks to that white-haired kid from Konoha caused Rasa's emotions, which had just calmed down, to surge again, making his face flush red once more: "Damn it, it was this guy, how could he..."

"Luo Sha, shut up!"

Yekura interrupted Rasa with a low reprimand, then gave Minato Namikaze a slightly apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Minato. I was impolite and made you laugh."

"It's alright."

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "It was Yu's sudden appearance that startled you all. I will talk to him when I have time. Now, please come with me to see the Hokage."

"it is good."

The group entered the Hokage Building one after another to meet Hiruzen Sarutobi.

……

"Is this the Sunagakure delegation...? The number of people is rather small."

Yu Mikami stroked his chin and commented.

But that's normal.

Sunagakure was already sparsely populated, and in the original timeline, Gaara, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, was even appointed as the Kazekage. Moreover, whenever they cooperated with Konoha, it was always the Kazekage himself who took action... Now, Pakura's situation is similar to Gaara's in the original timeline, or even slightly better.

After all, Gaara doesn't have a second Kage-level ally by his side. He has to do any slightly difficult mission himself, or get help from his older siblings.

"yawn--"

Yu Mikami stretched, finished the last sip of his 82-ounce Coke, and then stood up.

Given his status, he should be able to attend such high-level meetings.

After all, besides being a student of Minato Namikaze and Tsunade, and a grand-disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he was also one of Konoha's top-ranked elite Jonin. Apart from being a bit younger, his qualifications in all aspects were far superior to most veteran Jonin. However, negotiations were rather boring, so he didn't participate.

It seems that Konoha F3 was prepared for this and knew what to talk about.

but……

If I have the chance, I might be able to meet up with Yekura.

Previously, Mikami Yu had given the Third Kazekage's puppet to Yekura without asking for payment. Now, it's time to start calculating the price—first, I'll ask for a portion of One-Tailed Chakra!

Chapter 322 Night Raid on Feng Ying's Bedroom, Ye Cang: Look at my abs!

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

The Sand Village delegation has already settled into the residence arranged by Konoha.

Yekura had just finished showering and hung the Kazekage's Divine Robe on the wall. Wearing only a black sleeveless backless bodysuit, she sat at the desk in the inn room, writing furiously.

After briefly recording the events of his meeting with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the content of their discussions, the acting Kazekage got up, washed his face, and then stretched.

With this movement, her slender and graceful figure was fully revealed under the light, and her smooth back shone with an ivory-like luster, making her look pleasing to the eye, like the most perfect work of art created by a jade carver.

but……

At this moment, Yecang was not in a very good mood.

The meeting with Hiruzen Sarutobi this morning did not go very smoothly.

Yekura had anticipated this outcome.

Given the current situation, Konoha is strong and Sunagakure is weak. Although they talk about forming an equal alliance, everyone knows that true equality can only be built on the basis of strength. Therefore, Konoha will definitely try to lower the price, while Sunagakure will try to gain as much benefit as possible, leading to more haggling.

The issue is……

In such official settings, many people don't know how to speak directly; they need to beat around the bush and be evasive, which is more mentally taxing than fighting with someone.

Of course, it was the same in Sunagakure. After all, most of the elders in Sunagakure were old-timers who had survived from World War II or even World War I. They were extremely shrewd and calculating, and Yekura was like a green recruit in front of them, often having to repeatedly try to figure out their intentions.

therefore.

Yekura often misses the days when she was just an ordinary Jonin.

Oh wait...

She had also been plotted against by Luo Sha at that time, and once almost lost her life.

So it was definitely more comfortable not being a ninja.

As Yekura thought this, she unconsciously gazed out the window. She had only wanted to see the night view of Konoha to relieve the fatigue in her eyes, but suddenly she felt a blur before her eyes.

"Ok?"

Ye Cang raised an eyebrow and looked back at the diagonally in front of him, his gaze becoming focused.

That's where the hotel window is.

The windows were open, as the temperature had been rising these past few days and the weather was a bit hot.

However, just a moment ago, Yekura vaguely saw the air tremble slightly, and the night view outside the window blurred slightly, as if through a layer of glass. Although the change was very subtle and easily overlooked, Yekura, with her extensive combat experience, still noticed it.

"This is……"

Ye Cang subconsciously took a few steps forward, arrived at the window, raised his right hand, and reached out into the void.

then……

Where there should have been only air, a tangible, substantial sensation suddenly appeared—

It seemed as if an unseen person reached out from the windowsill in front of them and grabbed Yekura's outstretched wrist.

"?!"

Yekura's pupils contracted instantly, and he was horrified.

This is……

Is Konoha about to take action against Sunagakure?!

No, that's not right. Konoha had no motive for doing that... It was someone else trying to stir up trouble and take advantage of the chaos.

Yekura was a veteran ninja who had experienced countless battles. She reacted quickly, breaking free of her restrained wrists in an instant. At the same time, she mobilized her chakra, preparing to unleash her Scorch Release ability to release a fireball to protect herself.

Just then, a somewhat familiar boyish voice came from the window, causing Ye Cang to pause, followed by a feeling of disbelief:

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

"……Um?"

"You are... Yu Mikami?"

Yekura asked somewhat uncertainly, and even after receiving a definite answer, she was still a little skeptical: "Is it really you? You... what kind of ninjutsu is this, that you can hide your figure like that? Is it the bloodline limit of your Mikami clan?"

"My family has been commoners for generations, so we don't have any bloodline limits... Well, this is just a secret technique that can guide the refraction of light to hide one's figure. It's not a powerful ninjutsu."

Yu Mikami said.

"Really? Let me see..."

Yekura was skeptical, but then she stretched out her other hand and tentatively reached diagonally upwards: "Hmm... indeed. It's only based on visual invisibility; touch and smell are still present... you can touch it but not see it. It seems like a rather interesting ninjutsu."

"Wait a minute...where are you touching?"

Mikami Yu sensed something was wrong, and with a "smack," he slapped away Yekura's not-so-clean little hand, looking speechless.

His current posture is half-squatting on the windowsill, slightly higher than when he's standing normally, with Ye Cang's head almost directly facing his chest. So, when the latter raises his hand to touch him, the most likely place to touch is... cough cough.

As for Ye Cang, it was unclear whether her earlier actions were intentional or unintentional due to not being able to see, but she licked her lips, sighed as if with a hint of regret, and then, with a nonchalant expression, looked up and said:

"Hey, you little white-haired guy, you've got some nerve. How dare you break into the room of the Village Shadow in the dead of night? Aren't you afraid that the guards around here, and Rasa and the others will find out and cause a misunderstanding, reigniting the war between the two countries?"

"It's okay, they won't find out."

Mikami Yu's tone was confident.

"So confident?"

"I guess so. After all, this move of mine has been tested on the battlefield and works quite well against those guys from Kirigakure."

how to say……

Under normal circumstances, "penetrating" already provides a pretty good concealment effect.

Jiraiya used this ability to occasionally sneak into the women's bathhouse to peep, and apart from being beaten up by Tsunade a few times, he was mostly undetected.

Yu Mikami's "Transparent Escape" is a further enhancement of the former. With the addition of the [Hidden Shadow] characteristic, it can not only hide his figure, but also conceal the traces of chakra flow, resulting in a considerable improvement in effect.

Therefore, unless one possesses the Byakugan and Sharingan, or has extremely rich combat experience like Madara Uchiha, it would be difficult to locate him even if they were face to face.

—In fact, even those with Byakugan and Sharingan might not be able to tell. They're just slightly more likely to be able to tell than the average person.

Incidentally, Mikami Yu had actually been there for about a minute before he came into contact with Yekura.

At first, he didn't make a sound, but squatted on the windowsill and admired Ye Cang's alluring back for a while. It wasn't until she turned around that he moved slightly, making Ye Cang aware of his presence.

Of course……

The fact that the technique can be detected after any action is taken indicates that its concealment effect is not perfect.

However, under normal circumstances, this trick is more than enough.

and……

If Mikami Yu is willing to go all out and take off all his clothes, triggering the passive ability of [Hidden Shadow] which is "the less fabric, the stronger the effect," then his stealth ability will be further enhanced. Even if he walks right up to Yekura's face, he might not be detected by the latter.

But that approach is a bit too sleazy; Mikami Yu isn't shameless enough to do it...

"May I come in?"

Mikami Yu glanced at the room behind Yekura and spoke again: "Or should we find a quiet place where we won't be disturbed to talk?"

"..."

Ye Cang paused for a moment, then stepped aside slightly: "Come in first."
