Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Such a person...

Hiruzen Sarutobi lit his pipe, mentally reviewing the names of Shinnosuke Sarutobi and other Anbu members. As he hesitated, he suddenly thought of someone—

"Minato, go to the Konoha Orphanage and invite Yakushi Nonou here."

"Ok?"

Minato Namikaze was taken aback.

"She is Konoha's most outstanding intelligence agent in the last twenty years. She once went deep into the village alone and brought back more than a dozen important S-rank intelligence reports from villages such as Iwagakure and Sunagakure. However, she applied for retirement after the end of World War II... If it were her, she would definitely be able to complete this mission perfectly."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a smoke ring: "Perfect timing. The ANBU I sent to deliver a message to Tsunade only set off last night. If Nonou moves quickly enough, she might be able to catch up and go with them..."

……

The following evening at the base in Shoka Town.

Inside the command post.

By the flickering candlelight, Tsunade flipped through the confidential documents that had just been delivered by the Anbu, lost in thought: "So that's how it is... The old man actually reached such an agreement with Sunagakure?"

"That's really surprising."

"It seems that this new Kazekage named Yecang is also a woman with great courage."

As a female ninja born in the early days of the village's founding, Tsunade could naturally see that this military alliance agreement was different from the previous peace treaties.

It can be said that...

If this peace treaty were to go a step further, then Konoha and Sunagakure could be seen as the prototype of a "republic" or "federation".

Reaching such a revolutionary treaty undoubtedly required immense courage.

In Tsunade's view, while Hiruzen Sarutobi was old, he had once been called a "hero of ninjas," so it wasn't surprising that he possessed such courage. However, Pakura, a young junior from Sunagakure and a former defeated party, actually took the initiative to visit Konoha and ultimately facilitated this agreement…

That's really quite unusual.

The resistance and setbacks encountered in the process must have been much greater than when he first implemented the medical ninja policy.

"Oh, right."

Tsunade looked at the name "Yakura" and suddenly remembered something. She looked up at the Anbu and said, "I remember this new Kazekage... isn't she the female Sand Ninja who was captured by Yu on the southwestern battlefield?"

"Huh? I think so..."

The secret service hesitated.

He had never been to the southwestern battlefield and didn't know much about the specific situation there.

However, among the people standing in the command post at this moment, there were a few who had personally experienced the battles in Sunagakure.

Chapter 330 Tsunade: The toilets in Shokuka Town need to be scrubbed seven times! Summoning Jutsu and "Doraemon"

"Yes."

Kakashi nodded and continued, "Our class encountered Yekura shortly after arriving at the southwestern battlefield, and two battles ensued. The second time, Minato-sensei held off Chiyo, while Yu defeated and captured her. Later, Sunagakure used a prisoner exchange policy to send her back..."

"Oh……"

Tsunade nodded: "How strong is she?"

"is acceptable."

Kakashi thought for a moment: "However, compared to that bloodline ninja named Rasa, there is still some gap. I guess that her ability to become Kazekage is related to Rasa's defeat by Yu and Sunagakure's crushing defeat in the Battle of Kikyo Mountain. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, her ranking should be lower than Rasa's."

"Understood."

Tsunade nodded slightly, already having a general idea of ​​what was going on. After taking a closer look at Kakashi, she looked down at the secret letter again.

Hmm... There aren't many people in this age group with this kind of intelligence analysis ability. It seems that this white-haired guy from the Hatake family is quite talented. Although he can't compare to Mikami Yu, he should be good as a backup option.

At this time.

Obito, who was standing next to him, seemed to just realize what was happening. He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh! I thought you were talking about someone... It's that woman who likes to play with fire! Has she become the Kazekage? I remember she looked pretty big, almost as big as Tsunade-sama..."

Hey, Obito!

Kakashi gave a low reprimand, trying to interrupt Obito's rambling.

But Tsunade had already heard these words, and gave Obito a somewhat unfriendly glance: "...Big? You mean age?"

"It is not……"

Obito was speechless for a moment.

Following Obito's gaze, Tsunade looked at her chest, which was covered by her clothes, and instantly understood—

Thankfully, it wasn't referring to age.

Compared to the former, the latter answer was more acceptable to Tsunade. After all, it meant that although the other person was younger, their "hard power" was inferior to hers, which was something to be proud of for a woman who cared a lot about her appearance and figure.

Can……

It depends on who says that.

If it had come from Yu Mikami, Tsunade might have just laughed it off, or even gone along with it and teased him in return.

but……

"Uchiha Obito!"

Tsunade frowned, her face hardening as she scolded, "At such a young age, you already care about these things. No wonder your strength has improved so slowly, and you've never been able to keep up with Kakashi and Yu... Get out! Scrub the toilet in the medical tent seven times. I'll have your clan leader come and inspect it later!"

"what?"

Obito was bewildered and instinctively asked, "Why seven times?"

"If you ask again, scrub ten times! Until the water in the toilet is drinkable!"

"..."

The commander's orders are absolute.

Moreover, Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing nearby, also cast a death stare at him at just the right moment.

Although Obito was annoyed, he didn't dare say anything more. He could only leave the command center room with doubts and obediently go to clean up...

after that.

Tsunade lowered her head, lost in thought: A young, beautiful, busty, and quite strong female Sand Village ninja, captured by Konoha, became the Kazekage by a twist of fate, and now, ironically, she has become the main force driving Konoha and Sunagakure to form a military alliance...

Could it be that some white-haired brat is behind this?

Looking back, that kid was indeed quite popular with girls. Nohara Rin goes without saying, since they'd always been teammates; Yuhi Shinku's daughter also seemed interested in him, always trying to get close to him; and now this Yekura…

Although I've never seen it and have no evidence, judging from the timeline, there seems to be a problem...

Originally, these situations had nothing to do with Tsunade, since she was Yu Mikami's ninjutsu teacher, not his life skills teacher.

Moreover, even if we take a step back and say that a teacher is so happy to see their student so popular, they should be very happy.

but……

Why do I feel a little annoyed?

"call……"

Tsunade let out a long sigh, suppressing the jumbled thoughts rising in her mind, then raised her head and said seriously:

"Tell the old man that I will cooperate as much as possible with the Wood and Sand Joint Force. If the Hidden Mist Village dares to make any moves, we will definitely eliminate them completely this time."

However, after experiencing two major setbacks, the probability of the Hidden Mist faction daring to rush forward and take the initiative to start a major war is not high.

Therefore, some matters will fall to the other special talent that Konoha has dispatched this time—

"Long time no see, Nono."

Tsunade looked at the blonde woman with glasses in front of her and nodded slightly.

The latter also bowed slightly: "Greetings, Lady Tsunade."

As both elites in Konoha's medical ranks, Tsunade and Nonou had known each other for a long time and were somewhat familiar with each other's abilities and character. Therefore, Tsunade knew very well that Nonou's purpose in coming here was related to espionage.

The mission that could bring back the retired "Walking Shrine Maiden" to personally lead an operation must be extraordinary. One wonders if it's related to that "Uchiha Madara"...

"You may leave now."

Tsunade waved her hand, dismissing Fugaku Uchiha, Kakashi, and the others present.

What I'm about to say might involve confidential information, so it's better to keep it to a minimum.

Until only the two people were left in the room,

Yakushi Nonou spoke in a low voice: "Lady Tsunade, my mission this time is to spread the news that 'the Third Mizukage is suspected of being controlled by someone else' to Kirigakure, and try to cause internal turmoil among them, undermining their fighting spirit... If necessary, I may need to go to the Land of Water itself..."

"understood."

Tsunade nodded: "Tell me, how do you need my cooperation?"

……

Two or three days passed in the blink of an eye.

These past few days, Yu Mikami has been playing with the corner of the wood every day!

Through persistent efforts, he has raised the favorability of his newly acquired "Dragon" Fire Release technique, [Hidden Dragon Flame], to around 20 points, and is about to unlock the first stage of its special ability.

in addition,

The favorability ratings for [Transparent Escape] and [Water Transformation Technique] are also steadily increasing.

One of these two techniques is a divine skill of concealment, capable of even fooling the Byakugan; the other is the third ninjutsu in the Water Release sequence, involving potential bond characteristics in Water Release. Moreover, these two techniques can be used together to create an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Therefore, for Mikami Yu, their conquest strategy is of a very high priority.

Regarding the [Summoning Technique], although it involves unlocking "Flying Thunder God" and has a high priority, without acquiring new summoning beasts, it's difficult to significantly increase favorability in a short time relying solely on regular [dialogue].

So, Mikami Yu has been thinking lately about whether or not to get some new ninja beasts.

Toads and snakes are basically out of the question.

In the presence of slugs, the latter two will generally not agree to form a contract with him.

but……

Given his current "Hokage lineage" label, he might be able to talk to Hiruzen Sarutobi and ask for his Enma.

Since Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't see much action anymore, leaving him idle is a waste. Besides, Enma's strength is among the top of all summoning beasts; if a contract could be successfully formed, it would probably increase the [Summoning Jutsu] affinity by several points at once.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, it's definitely worth a try...

In addition, Yu Mikami plans to get another flying summon beast.

Alternatively, strengthening the existing giant eagle would also be an option. Currently, its strength is somewhat lacking; it can't even outfly the "Yata no Nagata," which would likely put it at a disadvantage in future aerial battles…

(Hey, Summoning, is there any way to increase the Giant Eagle's base stats?)

Yu Mikami asked himself softly in his heart.

[Summoning: Huh? Base stats? Do you think you're playing some kind of game where you can raise a pet?]

(Forehead……)

Is not it?

Mikami Yu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Then, the subtitles in the corner system started flashing again:

[Spiritual Spell: But since you put it that way... sigh, I really can't do anything with you.]

[Spiritual Spell: Here's what we'll do. On the Vulture Peak where you found that giant eagle, there grows a seven-petaled snow lotus. It's very nutritious, but it grows very slowly under natural conditions. Take it to the Wet Bone Forest and water it with the water there every day. In two or three months, it will grow into a large patch. Then you can dig out the snow lotus seeds and feed them to the giant eagle.]

That giant eagle should still have room for growth. Although even when it fully develops, it will likely be inferior to the "Yata no Nagata," it can still improve upon its current state.

(Understood. Thank you, Doraemon!)

(By the way, is that stuff useful for people to eat? Also, if the water from Shikkub Forest is useful for snow lotus, then what if we brought it out to cultivate other plants...)

Could it be that they can actually transport water from the three sacred sites and create a "Qiansui Mountain" brand?

The idea had just popped into Mikami Yu's head.

It was extinguished by a bucket of cold water—

[Spiritual Spell: If you want to drink someone to death, go ahead and try. What's helpful for the growth of the Seven-Petal Snow Lotus is the acidic substance secreted by that giant slug, but that substance is highly poisonous to humans; an ordinary person would die if they ate it.]
