Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Especially the latter.

When he deliberately controlled the water flow, shaping it into different forms such as whirlpools, spheres, and showerheads as he released it, the chakra consumption of the "Water Chaos Technique" noticeably underwent some subtle changes. It seemed that the latter itself was watching him.

After a training session ended.

The favorability ratings for Fireball and Water Wave each increased by about 2 points.

This is the end.

Water Chaos has successfully advanced to the next level:

【Water Chaos Technique (Affection: 50/100 (Intimacy))】

(Having received stage rewards twice: Constitution +2, Trait: Water Dancer: Your Water Release has more artistic possibilities. When released, if you can create an artistic form that satisfies "Water Wave Technique", chakra consumption is reduced by 40%)

Yes, 30% in the first phase, 40% in the second phase...

It seems that the maximum value might be 60%.

For "Water Chaos Wave" alone, reducing chakra consumption by two-thirds has limited use.

but……

If we could give her skins with "Water Dragon Bullet" and "Water Shock Wave," that would be a different story.

In addition, there's the theoretically unlimited potential to increase one's physical constitution...

Perhaps one day, Yu Mikami will be able to use the same "Sea Escape" technique as Tobirama Senju.

In contrast, the Fireball ability's affinity level doesn't increase very quickly after reaching 60.

I wonder if it's because I didn't give a gift, or because I didn't trigger a special event like with the Three Bodies Technique...

Mikami Yu stopped to rest, sitting cross-legged on a rock by the stream. While recovering his chakra, he focused his consciousness into the Corner System and opened the dialogue bubble with [Great Fireball Technique].

[Yu Mikami: Little Fire, I have a question for you. Do you know about the "Phoenix Flower Fire Technique"?]

[Fireball Jutsu: Hmm? Phoenix Flower... You're like a little sister from my clan, what's wrong?]

[Yu Mikami: It's nothing, I just heard the name from somewhere else... What's your relationship like?]

[Fireball Jutsu: Relationship? So-so! That girl is too playful and always dresses up extravagantly, but she doesn't know that inner qualities are the most important. Only uncultured nouveau riche use fancy clothes to package themselves.]

"Forehead……"

Yuko Mikami said it felt like the kind of thing where someone who can't have something says it's sour grapes.

I wonder if he chose "Great Fire Wall" for Great Fireball, and the latter would instantly change its attitude and become a "nouveau riche"...

At this time.

Another ninja who loves to join in the fun has appeared:

[Clone Technique (Water Clone Technique Form): Oh my, isn't this the Fireball Jutsu Lady? You've looked so tired after just two days! All that talk about inner beauty being important, it's just that you don't have any new clothes to wear.]

[Clone Technique: But I doubt the mistress will send you any gifts. After all, your reputation isn't great. Although you look glamorous on the outside, do you know what people outside call you behind your back?]

[Fireball Jutsu: Shut up! Don't say that!]

[Clone Technique: Hehe, people call you "The Technique of Kindness"! Because you can never hit anyone, that's why you're kind.]

[Fireball Jutsu: Aaaaaah! You clone jutsu, you jerk! I'm going to burn you to ashes!!! (The flames on her body surge violently, showing extreme rage)]

"..."

Yuu Mikami was speechless for a moment.

Looking at the clone technique and the fireball technique, he thought they were truly a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Of all the techniques, the two of them are the most active and love to bicker the most, which sometimes makes him a little worried that the Great Fireball Technique might cause his favorability towards them to drop due to the teasing of the Shadow Clone Technique...

[Ding! Special event keywords detected, triggering a time-limited task!]

Chapter 45 Good job, clone technique!

Wait, wait a minute...

What happened?!

[You heard from the clone technique that although the Great Fireball Technique is a glamorous young lady on the outside, she is not actually valued by others. Many people insult her by calling her the "Kindness Technique." Although Great Fireball doesn't say it, she is quite bothered by it and wants to prove her strength to shut up those who mock her.]

[Please decide whether you want to take concrete action to vindicate the Great Fireball Technique: Yes/No]

[Task Time Limit: 15 days]

"!!"

Mikami Yu's eyes lit up.

Well done, you created a clone!

As expected of my trusted lieutenant, he managed to bring up the special incident of the Great Fireball in just three sentences... What else is there to say?

catch!

As the saying goes, there are no bad techniques, only users who don't know how to use them. Madara Uchiha can make a C-rank ninjutsu look like an A-rank ninjutsu, and so can I, Yu Mikami!

Although the criteria for this "rectification" were somewhat vague, it seemed to involve killing a few people with a powerful fireball, but fortunately, there was enough time—a full 15 days. By then, he should have already been assigned to a shift and was ready to leave the village to do missions.

In the current ninja world, which is in a time of war, killing is commonplace. At worst, they can just find some bandits to fill the ranks; that should be manageable.

As Yu Mikami chooses to accept the quest, the text box changes:

[Fireball Technique: (The flames subside slightly, but remain high) Hmph! That's more like it! Remember your words! This young lady is waiting!]

[Fireball Technique: Affection +2]

The day's training has come to an end.

As the sun set, Yu Mikami dragged his tired body home, washed up, and rested.

……

Before we knew it, graduation day arrived.

This ceremony, like the entrance ceremony, was a rare big day for the ninja academy, so in addition to the graduating students, many parents were also invited to attend. Among them was Mikami Yu's mother, Mikami Aoi.

Early in the morning.

Aoi Mikami woke up and called Yu Mikami. While he ate breakfast, she went back to her room to get ready and changed into a clean new outfit.

When the mother and son came out of their house, they saw their neighbors, Hiroshi and Misae Nohara, also coming out with Rin. They greeted Aoi Mikami with big smiles: "Good morning, Aoi, and Yuu too. I heard from Rin that you got first place, but I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet!"

"Uncle Hiroshi, you're too kind. If it weren't for the ninjutsu scrolls you gave me, I wouldn't have achieved such results."

Yu Mikami said.

Hiroshi Nohara laughed loudly, "Haha, what are you saying? It took me two or three months to master those two techniques. You were able to learn them in such a short time because you are talented. Even without those two techniques, you would still have made a name for yourself."

He said a few more words,

The two families then began walking towards the school.

It was nine o'clock in the morning.

The auditorium of the Konoha Ninja Academy was already packed with people. Graduating students and some of their parents filled the seats and were exchanging pleasantries.

Yuu looked around and spotted some familiar faces: Kurenai Yuhi's father, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, Hizashi Hyuga, and a few others whose appearances told him which clan they belonged to, such as the Nara clan's classic pineapple hairstyle.

"Huh, is Obito late again?"

Nohara Rin remembered that loud and boisterous figure.

"Probably."

Yu Mikami said.

It seems that in the original storyline, Obito was absent from this graduation ceremony.

"Let's find a place to sit first. It seems like all the seats have name tags on them."

Soon, the ceremony began.

Principal Fujimoto Itsuki stepped onto the podium and began a lengthy but essential speech, essentially reviewing the past, looking to the future, and emphasizing the responsibilities of the Ninja Academy and the glory of Konoha. Finally, he solemnly announced:

"Among this year's trainees, a total of fifty-two have passed the rigorous examination and will be officially awarded the Konoha ninja headband, becoming glorious genin! Please give them a round of applause!"

Quack quack—

"Huh? Fifty-two? How come there are so many? I remember there were only thirty-something last year?"

"Indeed, even someone like Ebisu passed the test?"

Yu Mikami heard someone whispering.

Then came another, slightly older voice: "Shh—keep your voices down. Have you forgotten about the wounded who returned to the village recently? This isn't peacetime anymore; the village needs fresh blood..."

The murmurs gradually faded away.

Yuya Mikami also refocused his attention.

The ceremony continued.

During the event, Yu Mikami, as the "top student," spoke on behalf of this year's trainees. He had spent two hours writing his speech the night before, carefully considering every word and phrase, and the content closely followed the "Will of Fire." After all, this was a public opportunity, and he wanted to perform well.

After the speech, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. The applause from Nohara Rin and Mikami Aoi was particularly enthusiastic.

Then, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, reappeared with a gentle smile and personally presented each graduating student with a headband representing the ninjas of Konoha.

After all these activities were completed, the parents began to leave one by one. Those who had tasks continued to do so, while those who had nothing else gathered in twos and threes to have a couple of drinks and catch up.

The students stayed behind to wait for the class assignment results.

"Mikami-kun, your situation is special. The Hokage instructed you to go to the back playground to find him."

Mr. Oki leaned over and said.

"Ok?"

Yu Mikami paused for a moment, then stood up and, amidst the envious gazes of Rin Nohara and the others, left the auditorium and went to the back of the teaching building. Hiruzen Sarutobi was already waiting there, a pipe dangling from his mouth, a cheerful expression on his face.

"You're here?"

When Mikami Yu walked up to him,

Hiruzen Sarutobi took off his pipe and got straight to the point: "Now, I'm here to fulfill my promise and teach you the 'Phoenix Fire Technique'."

"The Phoenix Flower Technique is a C-rank Fire Release ninjutsu. Unlike the Great Fireball Technique, which focuses on instantaneous bursts and wide-range attacks, it emphasizes dispersed attacks and sustained damage..."

As a "professor of ninjutsu," Hiruzen Sarutobi's teaching skills were beyond question, reaching a level of profound understanding and mastery.

He explained the chakra flow and hand seals of the "Phoenix Flower Fire Technique" in a simple and easy-to-understand way, also briefly mentioning the Great Fireball and Water Wave techniques. Only after confirming that Mikami Yu understood did he begin the demonstration:

"Look carefully, Zi-Yin-Xu-Chou-Mao-Yin..."

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

call--!

Several clusters of orange-red flames, resembling balsam seeds, spewed from Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth.

These flames did not fly out in a straight line, but rather in an arc, like a homing missile, scattering towards several earthen targets in front of them and shattering them one by one.

[Ding! High-quality potential target detected: "Phoenix Fire Technique", triggering a limited-time encounter quest!]

Chapter 46 I, Yu Mikami, a Fire Release Genius!

Under the sunlight on the playground, a lively girl in red, as vibrant as a balsam flower, curiously observes you, a few tiny, dancing flames flickering between her fingertips.

[Phoenix Fire Technique: Yo! You're the guy my sister mentioned? You look pretty handsome! Want to play with me? I can fly really fast!]

A pink options box popped up—

[A: Yes, yes, it's my honor to know someone as beautiful as a balsam flower.]

[B: I'm here to learn, what are you going to do?]

[C: Van? Van what? Is it some kind of exciting new game?]

Hmm... it seems the target of this maneuver is a quirky and mischievous girl.

After thinking it over, Yu Mikami decided to try something different:

“C”.
