That's enough!

Minato Namikaze appeared between the two, his smile gentle, and raised his hand to signal a ceasefire.

The exercise has achieved its purpose; there's no need to continue. There will be plenty of opportunities for future sparring and practice.

Upon receiving the order, Kakashi instantly stopped forming hand seals, his sharp gaze returned to its previous lifeless expression, and he silently put his hands in his pockets.

Yuya Mikami breathed a sigh of relief and deactivated the "partial transformation".

"Yu-kun, are you alright?"

Nohara Rin brought Obito over, looking at Mikami Yu with a worried expression, and then at Kakashi not far away.

"Fortunately."

Next,

Minato Namikaze began his summary: "The exercise is now over. Yu's battle plan itself was sound, and his tactics in the fight against Kakashi were brilliant. However, the execution of the plan requires the support of reliable teammates."

“Obito, your Fireball Jutsu was reckless and direct, without considering the positions of your teammates or the subsequent changes, and was easily countered; Rin, your shuriken cover was not strong enough, and your close combat ability urgently needs to be improved. After Yu came to your rescue, you were unable to regroup and provide effective support in time.”

Obito lowered his head in shame and frantically picked at the mud on his head.

Nohara Rin nodded seriously: "Yes, Minato-sensei, I understand."

Minato Namikaze looked at Yu Mikami one last time: "Yu, your personal qualities are excellent. Although you don't know many ninjutsu, you use them very well, almost comparable to Kakashi. What you lack is practical experience and taijutsu combat ability. You can receive targeted training in the future."

"However, I also need to remind you that ninjas fight as a team, and an individual's weakness is also the team's weakness. How to make up for your teammates' shortcomings and bring out the team's strength is an important task for you going forward. When facing a real enemy, any flaw can be fatal."

"I see."

Yu Mikami nodded earnestly in agreement.

Although I had been deliberately distancing myself from Obito to avoid being stabbed in the back someday, now that we're on the same team, there's no way around it. Even if Obito turns evil again in the future, for now, I can only play the role of a good teammate.

Anyway, the real crisis will be the Kannabi Bridge incident a few years later. If all else fails, we can find a way to avoid it and not participate in this mission.

After the comments were finished.

Minato Namikaze paused, then flashed his signature warm smile again: "Alright, we've perfectly achieved the objective of this exercise. Starting tomorrow, our team will be officially formed. The missions and training won't be easy, so..."

"Let's take a half-day off today. We'll go to BBQ Q together later. It's on me, so you can eat as much as you want."

"Oh!!"

In Chapter 50, three sentences were enough for Kakashi to offer me the "Hatake Sword Technique".

That evening, we had barbecue at Q.

I ran into a few familiar faces in class at San Shang Yu Ban—

Asmaban was also there.

In the original work, Asuma and Kurenai were in the same class as Raito, but the original work didn't mention who their Jonin leader was. Given Asuma's status as the son of the Hokage, it's unlikely he would be assigned just any ordinary Jonin as his instructor.

Now, Yu Mikami finally knows the answer—

Nara Shikaku.

This person is considered one of the top Jonin of Konoha during this period. He is of high caliber in terms of strength and intelligence. Moreover, as the head of the Shika clan in the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, he has a close relationship with the Sarutobi clan, making him a good candidate to lead a Jonin team.

Minato Namikaze and Shikaku Nara were acquaintances, and Yu Mikami and Asuma had just had a farewell dinner together not long ago, so the two classes simply shared a table.

During the meal.

Kurenai curiously leaned closer and whispered to ask about Yu Mikami's class; Obito and Asuma were bickering, each boasting that they would become Chunin and even Hokage sooner than the other, making the other look at them with new eyes.

After the dinner party ended, Obito once again invited him to play cards at his house.

"Forehead……"

Nohara Rin hesitated for a moment. She had indeed said before that she would take the Tu family out to play after the graduation ceremony: "Yu-kun, Kakashi-kun, what do you think..."

"Then let's go."

Yu Mikami said.

As teammates, we should give them this much face.

Seeing him speak, Kakashi, while saying "boring," followed along, clearly disingenuous.

As for Minato Namikaze, he still had to go back to find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to date, so after leaving Yu Mikami and the others with the words "Have fun," he disappeared in a flash.

On the way to the Uchiha clan's territory.

Mikami Yu slowed down slightly, walking alongside Kakashi. He then glanced at the white-haired man beside him and asked casually, "Assistant Kakashi, were you using the Hatake clan's swordsmanship when you were training with us just now?"

"……Yes."

Kakashi's words were concise and to the point.

"That was really impressive! It's a shame the match this afternoon was too rushed, I didn't get a good look. How about we have another chance to spar?"

"can."

Ever since you met her on the training ground, you've been captivated by the Hatake family's "Hatake swordsmanship." You specifically sought out a servant in her household, requesting an introduction. The servant agreed, promising to bring her out to meet you at a later date.

"That's it."

Yu Mikami nodded in satisfaction: Three sentences, and Kakashi will offer me the "Hatake Sword Technique".

but……

What the heck is this "servant" thing? Could it be that in the system's eyes, "Hatake Sword Technique" is the true master of the Hatake family, and Kakashi is just a sword stand?

Yu Mikami didn't dwell on this issue.

No matter how you look at it, his gains today were already quite substantial. Two Fire Release techniques, a sword technique that was practically a done deal, and the Flying Thunder God technique that he might have a chance to master later…

Considering Kakashi's all-elemental constitution, although his main element is lightning, he must also have some basic understanding of water and fire. Perhaps in the future, I can use the guise of "asking for guidance" to secretly learn a few techniques from him.

As long as I can attack the strategy list, I'll take even the technique with 44 seals!

"……arrive."

Obito's family is indeed quite large.

After all, he was a member of the Uchiha clan. Although he had no parents and only a grandmother to rely on, he was still able to live a more comfortable life than most ordinary families thanks to the care of the clan and the pension left by his parents.

This was Yu Mikami's first time here. From the moment he entered the Uchiha clan's territory, he looked around curiously, wondering where Madara Uchiha's White Zetsu was hiding... Well, the latter must have been keeping an eye on the Uchiha clan all along, but he didn't know if he had already chosen Obito.

This is also why Mikami Yu resisted joining the Minato team.

but……

Again.

Come here.

If Kakashi could survive, then so can he. A living person can't be killed by holding in their pee.

If he really has to face off against Uchiha Madara in the future... that's fine too, he'll just do it! As a transmigrator, why would he be afraid of that old man in his seventies or eighties?

Hmm... there shouldn't be any White Zetsu watching around right now, right?

There's not much to say about the process of playing cards.

Although the gameplay is a Japanese-style card game, the rules are very simple. Even if Yu Mikami has never played it before, he can get the hang of it after listening to the explanation once.

Afterwards, Mikami and the others did not accept Obito's invitation to "go to sleep when you're tired of playing." When it was almost time, they got up to say goodbye and went home.

It wasn't until I finished washing up and was lying in bed that I finally felt better.

Mikami Yuzai produced a scroll of the "Great Fire Wall Technique":

"Fireball, do you want a present?"

[Phoenix Fire Technique: Wow, big sister, come out and see! It's a new outfit!]

[Fireball Jutsu: (Raises chin arrogantly) Hmph! Just a defensive skin... It looks clumsy and heavy, but it's barely practical. Much better than that clone technique.]

[Fireball Jutsu: Affection +9, Current Affection: 75/100 (Affection)]

(Have received stage rewards 3 times: Constitution +3, Trait: Fire Spirit: Your fire attribute chakra affinity is greatly increased, and the power of fire-style ninjutsu is increased by 60% → 120% (Note: This trait can be used under the "Great Fire Wall Technique" skin))

OK OK.

It turns out that the Fireball Jutsu doesn't increase by 30% each time, but rather doubles each time! It reaches 120% in the third stage, and will probably reach 240% at its maximum!

Yu Mikami was somewhat surprised.

Soon, the text box floated again, and a familiar face appeared:

[Clone Technique: !]

[Fireball Jutsu: Huh, is that a clone jutsu? How did you know? My mistress just gave me a skin.]

[Clone Technique: Who asked you that?!]

[Transformation Spell: Little Fireball's new clothes are really pretty, and they look like they'll keep you warm... It's a shame, even though I was the first one here, Little San hasn't given me a gift yet.]

Mikami Yu: "?"

No... what kind of gifts can you possibly receive with just a transformation spell?

Is it "seduction"?

Besides, the favorability rating for the transformation technique is already maxed out, so giving her another gift would be a little wasteful... cough cough.

At that moment, adhering to the principle of impartiality, Mikami Yu reassured everyone, saying a few words like "Let's strive to ensure everyone has clothes to wear in the future," before closing the text box and lying back down in his clothes: "Not bad, not bad, the Great Fireball Jutsu is almost enough for now..."

"Let's wait a bit before discussing the art of kindness. A new team needs a few days to gel. But with Kakashi and me here, our class strength... surely we don't need to go hunting cats, right?"

Chapter 51 Hatake Sword Technique: In the ninja world, there are many mediocre talents, but few who surpass me.

The date was four days after the graduation ceremony.

On the training ground.

Yu Mikami and Kakashi stood facing each other, both with white hair and carrying short swords on their backs, and both were rapidly forming hand seals, creating a mirror-like reflection:

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!!"

"Water Release: Water Chaos Wave Technique!!"

Almost simultaneously, a massive fireball and a wave of water shot out opposite each other, colliding in mid-air. Despite being at a disadvantage due to its elemental advantage, Yu Mikami's fireball was not extinguished immediately. Instead, it shrank from four or five meters in diameter to two or three meters before Kakashi finally managed to block it with an Earth Wall.

Milky white steam, accompanied by bright red sparks, scattered in all directions, as if a fiery rain had fallen.

"Your fire jutsu..."

How did it get so big?

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, looking at Mikami Yu with some surprise.

"I've recently had some insights and made some breakthroughs."

Mikami Yu smiled.

This is the confidence that comes with the 120% increase in ninjutsu power!

Although this level of increase doesn't allow him to be like Madara Uchiha, who needed a dozen or so Water Release techniques to defend against a single Fire Release, it's already enough to make Kakashi, a Chunin-level ninja, feel troubled.

However... he still needs to learn from Kakashi in swordsmanship.

"It's about to start."

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, he had already swept across the water mist for over ten meters, slashing at Mikami Yu with his sword. Mikami Yu immediately raised his sword to block. The immense force transmitted through the hilt of the sword to his wrist, causing his hands to go slightly numb.

"Whoosh!!"

Kakashi twisted his waist, drew his sword back, and slashed again. The wooden sword blade left an arc-shaped afterimage in mid-air, and then, with a gray blade light, heavily struck the spot where Mikami Yu was sure to save!

—Hatake swordsmanship!

Ping! Ping! Ping!

Compared to the first practice session, Kakashi is now in top form, showcasing the full power of the "Hatake Sword Technique".

The fierce, storm-like attack brought forth intense clanging sounds of metal clashing, leaving Mikami Yu somewhat overwhelmed.

Fortunately, he had already activated "Partial Transformation: Might Guy's Body" and also stacked the first gate of "Eight Gates," which allowed his physique to rise to a level that most Chunin could not reach in a short period of time, enabling him to barely remain undefeated in this fierce attack.

no way.
