Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Compared to previous attempts, his strength has improved dramatically. Furthermore, long-term practice of the [Instant Shadow Assassination Array] has significantly enhanced his spatial balance, reaction speed, and other abilities. He no longer experiences the dizziness he felt initially.

It just happened in a flash.

Yu Mikami and Minato Namikaze disappeared directly from the lit room and reappeared in a dense forest outside the village.

Yu Mikami quickly looked around and felt that the scenery around him looked familiar. There was a small wooden house not far away, which seemed to be the small house that Minato Namikaze used to house Naruto, whose body was covered with "heat packs" during the Nine-Tails' attack.

"here it is……"

"It's just a temporary outpost outside the village; we haven't arrived at our destination yet."

Minato Namikaze closed his eyes, sensed the surroundings, and explained, "I left a batch of spare Flying Thunder God kunai at some key coordinates around Konoha and within the Land of Fire, just in case of this kind of unforeseen need."

"Although these coordinates are scattered, some even hundreds of kilometers apart, as long as the route is planned properly, the travel time can be greatly reduced...Found it, this should be the direction!"

soon.

Minato Namikaze activated his technique again.

Yuya Mikami followed him, jumping continuously between several spatial coordinates.

Until the fourth jump.

Minato Namikaze stopped, then crouched down, placed his palm on the ground, and closed his eyes to sense the surroundings: "We're about 600 kilometers from Konoha now, which should be the closest marked location mentioned in the intelligence. Judging from the chakra fluctuations, the incident likely occurred to the southeast..."

"However, the perception is a bit vague, and I cannot be completely certain."

"Yeah……"

Mikami Yu squatted down and slapped the ground with his hand: "Summoning Jutsu!"

Bang-!

With a flash of white smoke, the giant eagle's gray-black figure appeared in front of Mikami Yu.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again, Blackwing."

"Fly in this direction and see if there are any signs of a ninja battle along the way. If you haven't seen anything after flying a hundred miles, then patrol this area... Minato-sensei, come on up!"

"it is good."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then used a Body Flicker Technique to appear, standing behind the giant eagle alongside Yu Mikami.

The giant eagle was still a little dazed because it had been suddenly summoned in the middle of the night, but it quickly flapped its wings and slowly took off. Then, it suddenly flapped its wings and shot forward like an arrow, leaving the trees and streams behind!

Yu Mikami and Minato Namikaze stood on the back of an eagle, looking down at their surroundings, trying to use their eyes and sensory ninjutsu to quickly locate the area where the battle had broken out.

In addition...

Mikami Yuya pondered the matter of the "Seven-Petaled Snow Lotus" and planned to find time to go to Eagle Peak after this situation subsided, dig it up, and transplant it to the Wet Bone Forest. After all, this thing still had some time to grow; the sooner it was planted, the sooner he could enjoy it…

……

at this time.

The battlefield, located at the edge of the dense forest, was already a scene of devastation.

Huge craters, ranging from tens to hundreds of meters in diameter, appeared on the ground.

Some of these craters were created by fireballs, while others were forcibly blasted out by gold and iron dust. They vary in shape and size, but without exception, they are all shocking to behold.

As for the trees... this area was once a dense forest, but now half of it has been razed to the ground, with large numbers of trees charred black, scattered like corpses within a kilometer. Further afield, the spread of the wildfire can still be seen.

Ma Ji, "Tiger" and "Ox" have already been laid to rest.

Their strength was only enough to fight at the Jonin level; against a Kage-level ninja, they were nothing but easy prey. Now, facing an opponent like Hatake Sakumo, it was already a stroke of luck that they weren't instantly killed. And good luck obviously can't last forever, so they were already lying on the ground, their fates unknown.

next to.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was panting heavily, and the golden cudgel in his hand transformed into square cages, protecting himself, Yekura, and Karuro inside.

——【Diamond Wall】.

This move is one of Enma's signature techniques, possessing indestructible properties, and can even withstand the swordsmanship of Hatake Sakumo.

Even so, Shinnosuke and the others inside the prison walls looked rather disheveled. Karyu, having exhausted too much chakra in the previous battle, was now in a semi-conscious state and was being protected by Yekura.

A little further away...

"Huh, huh..."

Two or three hundred meters away, Luo Sha wrapped himself in a thick ball of gold dust, observing the outside world through the gaps in the sphere. He also appeared to be at his limit. Moreover, one of his arms seemed to have been crushed by the iron dust, and it was now limp and unable to move.

In contrast,

Scorpion is in much better condition now.

Although the two puppets he controlled were both battle-damaged, with Hatake Sakumo's puppet being blown to pieces and even having a dent in its shoulder, they were only "external injuries" and did not affect their main combat capabilities.

This was thanks to Scorpion's clever little trick—

While modifying his own body, he unexpectedly discovered that the wooden material given to him by Madara was very useful, possessing the special property of isolating ninjutsu. Therefore, he specially requested a batch from Uchiha Madara and added it to the joints and skeletons of puppets such as Hatake Sakumo.

Now that it has been tested, it has indeed shown remarkable effects.

Why...?

That "wood" was actually fragments that fell off the Gedo Mazo, essentially fragments of the Divine Tree. The Uchiha clan's Flame Fan that could deflect ninjutsu, as well as the Six Paths tools in the hands of Gold and Silver Brothers, were all made from it.

Although the Gedo Mazo, having lost the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, is no longer as resilient as it was when it was the Divine Tree due to the changing times, and therefore cannot reproduce the power of the Six Paths Ninja Tools, it is still more than capable of withstanding ordinary ninjutsu and taijutsu attacks.

"Hahaha……"

With a Kage-level puppet in each hand, Sasori, feeling the unprecedented abundance of this battle, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Gentlemen, can you continue dancing?"

"Weren't you all so righteous and eloquent when you were pointing out my artistic ideas? How come you've turned into this now? It seems that the morality and justice you tout can't bring you any good luck. It's utterly ridiculous."

"Well, there's no point in arguing with you inflexible folks. Let me see how long these two turtle shells you've created can last!"

As he spoke,

Scorpion moved his hands again, as if to control Shamon and Hatake Sakumo to charge forward.

Just then.

A deep, hoarse voice suddenly came from the side, appearing in Scorpion's ear: "Scorpion, it's time to go."

"Ok?"

Scorpion raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

A black shadow slowly rose from the shadow behind Sasori—it was Black Zetsu. Once he appeared, he spoke rapidly, "Yu Mikami and Minato Namikaze are on their way here. They'll find us in a minute or two. You can't control five puppets at the same time yet; it's best to avoid them for now..."

"presumptuous!"

Scorpion snorted coldly, displeased, "So what if it's Mikami Yu? Do you think I'd avoid his sharp edge?"

Black Zetsu: "..."

Dude... have you forgotten who almost killed you back then?

It's only been less than half a year, and you've only had your body slightly modified and a few puppets at your disposal, and you're already thinking you're all that?

Even freckles aren't this arrogant!

At least they were thinking of finding a way to break the "Death God's Power" before killing Mikami Yu, but you're just popping champagne in the middle of the game!

Black Zetsu couldn't help but complain inwardly, but he still patiently continued to persuade him, "This is also Lord Madara's intention. Your existence is related to the implementation of the 'Eye of the Moon Plan.' Before we are absolutely certain, it's better to be cautious and not take any risks..."

"..."

The scorpion remained silent.

Now he roughly understood what the "Eye of the Moon Project" was. Although he found the idea of ​​hanging everyone on the divine tree somewhat inexplicable, he had to admit that it was indeed an "eternal" art, and the concept was bold enough.

Therefore, Sasori, to a certain extent, supported Madara Uchiha.

—Of course, the most important thing is that Madara promised to leave his body to Sasori to make puppets after he dies. For the sake of this "Shura of the Ninja World's" body, Sasori would even agree to start an organization and recruit a group of Kage-level ninjas to capture the nine tailed beasts.

but……

"Is that guy's swordsmanship and fire release really as good as you guys say? I have the 'White Fang of Konoha' puppet now, and it's still no match for him?"

"..."

Black Zetsu remained silent.

Sakumo Hatake really isn't up to par.

Long before Sasori finished modifying all five Kage-level puppets, Madara Uchiha personally stepped in to test his skills. Judging from the results of the test, Sakumo Hatake's swordsmanship was indeed not weak, but it was still some distance away from Yu Mikami's swordsmanship, which contained the "power of the Shinigami."

Shamon's Magnet Release is essentially no different in nature from that of Rasa and the Third Kazekage, so it is unlikely to pose a real threat to Mikami Yu.

However, it's possible that Kinkaku and Ginkaku could catch Mikami Yu off guard by taking advantage of the intelligence gap, but it's hard to say.

Moreover, there's Minato Namikaze on the other side, who possesses the "Flying Thunder God Technique," a space-time ninjutsu, and has a contract with Mount Myōboku. While he might seem like a "mini-Tobirama Senju," he's still not an easy opponent for Sasori…

"……All right."

Scorpion finally nodded, no longer arguing: "Then let's end the battle with one last move and leave."

As they were speaking,

The scorpion raised its hands and suddenly pulled.

With this action, Shamon and Hatake Sakumo moved again. The former condensed and highly compressed a large amount of iron sand into a giant drill-like shape, which hung horizontally in mid-air; the latter raised his White Fang Short Sword and assumed a charging stance.

next moment.

"kill!!"

The sound of wind breaking through the air!

The jet-black iron drill bit spun at high speed and hurtled towards Luo Sha!

Meanwhile, Sakumo Hatake became one with his sword, slashing at Shinnosuke Sarutobi's [Diamond Wall]!

"Damn it..."

Shinnosuke Sarutobi's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

The Enma's body is indeed very tough, but it's not truly indestructible. It was already struggling to withstand Hatake Sakumo's sword techniques, and this next strike was clearly of extraordinary strength. What if…

At this critical moment.

A high-pitched bird song suddenly rang out!

"唳——!!"

Then, the giant eagle appeared in mid-air and swooped down toward the battlefield! Before the eagle even arrived, the white figure on it suddenly disappeared, flashing several times in mid-air before turning to the side and throwing out a strangely shaped kunai!

Immediately afterwards...

Swish!

The kunai vanished into thin air, and a blond-haired figure appeared in the spot—it was none other than Minato Namikaze!

"...Flying Thunder God Technique: Lightning Guiding Technique!"

Minato Namikaze swiftly formed hand seals, and a huge black rune array resembling a spider web took shape in mid-air—a combination ninjutsu of "Flying Thunder God Technique" and "Sealing Technique"!

The iron drill bit collided with the black rune array, just like a charging beast getting stuck in a swamp. After a brief stalemate, it was absorbed by the rune array.

then.

A loud bang could be faintly heard several kilometers away, and rows of trees tilted and fell, raising clouds of dust.

This technique was passed down through the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball in the original timeline, and its potential is terrifyingly high.

Although Minato Namikaze at that time was in Edo Tensei form and empowered by the Nine-Tails, possessing unlimited chakra, his Sand Drill was still no match for the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball. It was at most equivalent to the One-Tails' "Void Bullet," so the effects were not significantly different.

Luo Sha, hiding inside the gold dust shell, thus escaped with his life.

the other side.

With the enhancement of "Instant Shadow Killing Formation", Mikami Yu used the Substitution Jutsu five or six times in a row in an instant, appearing above Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others. Then he activated [Overload Pulse] and [Super Strength Jutsu: Gamble], and a swift and fierce slash fell from above towards Hatake Sakumo!

At that moment, the latter also made a move to draw his knife and fight back.

when--!!!

This sound was like a resounding bell!

Mikami Yu's wrist trembled slightly; the moment the two blades made contact, he felt the pressure.

Meanwhile, the short sword in Sakumo Hatake's hand trembled incessantly, and faint cracks appeared on his wrist, which was forged from fragments of the Gedo Mazo. It was clear that he was struggling to withstand the violent slashing force, but he could still hold on for the time being.

"Not bad!"
