Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

If he loses, Kakashi will sheathe his sword and call a truce, and a beautiful girl known as "Hatake no Tsukuyomi" will leave him. To trigger this [encounter], Mikami Yu must endure a little longer.

at last……

[Ding! High-quality potential target detected: "Hatake Sword Technique"! Limited-time encounter quest triggered!]

"coming!"

Mikami Yu suddenly became extremely focused, continuing to defend against Kakashi's fierce attacks while also diverting a portion of his attention to the text box.

[Through the servant's introduction, you see the white-haired girl from the Hatake family once more. She kneels beneath an ancient pine tree, a short, unsheathed sword resting across her lap, her entire being like a sharp blade. A sharp, cold, and concentrated "aura" surrounds her, seemingly capable of slicing through anything. This pure danger and beauty draws you involuntarily closer.]

[A: Woman, you've caught my attention! I'll give you a chance to become my swordsman!]

[B: Wow, so white, so straight, can I touch your knife?]

[C: I am Mikami Yuu. I have ascended to the summit of Konoha today solely to challenge Hatake Kabuto's swordsmanship. Please enlighten me!]

"Is this time a 'beautiful girl' with a martial arts theme...?"

After a brief moment of thought amidst the intense battle, Mikami Yu chose "C".

[Hatake Sword Technique: (Without raising his eyes, but his aura suddenly becomes sharp) Offer me your guidance? Ha, yet another arrogant and ignorant fool.]

[Hatake Sword Technique: However, considering you went through so much trouble to find this place, I'll play along for a bit.]

With the appearance of text boxes,

Kakashi's eyes shifted, as if he had suddenly unleashed his full power. His sword strikes became even more ferocious, significantly increasing the pressure on Mikami Yu. He gritted his teeth and pushed his strength to the limit, struggling to resist the attack. Sweat began to stream down his forehead.

[Hatake's Sword Technique: Hmph, among the mediocre ninjas in the world, there are many inferior to me, and few superior. Back when the White Fang of Konoha was around, only he was worthy of a fight. Now... you little white-haired brat, you can only barely loosen my muscles. Again!]

Wave after wave of impacts came crashing down on us.

Yu Mikami felt like a small boat on a vast ocean, about to capsize at any moment, desperately resisting only by instinct.

In a split second, Kakashi's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his wrist flicked. The sword strike was no longer a continuous pressure, but suddenly condensed into a beam of cold light, as fast as lightning, and pierced straight at the weakest point in Mikami Yu's defense—this was the moment when his old strength had just dissipated and his new strength had not yet arisen!

"Oops!"

Mikami Yu's pupils constricted sharply, and he hastily parried with his sword!

Snap! Snap!

A crisp snapping sound rang out! The wooden sword, a standard-issue item from the ninja tool shop, couldn't withstand the explosive force of that instant and broke in two!

at the same time,

In the "Gala" system's field of vision, the "Hatake Sword Woman," dressed in white with an aura as sharp as a drawn blade, seemed to have placed her gleaming long sword horizontally beside the neck of Mikami Yu's consciousness, before stopping just an inch away, the blade exuding a chilling aura.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Then--

[Hatake Sword Technique: A broken sword indicates a weak weapon or a lack of sincerity. Although your talent is far inferior to that of the White Fang of Konoha, you still bear some resemblance to him.]

[Hatake Tojutsu: Very well, I've sat here in meditation for years, yet I still haven't grasped the essence of the "sword." Perhaps the time isn't right. I'll go with you then and see how far you, little white-haired brat, can go on this path!]

[Ding! "Hatake Sword Technique" has been added to the strategy list! Current affinity: 1/100 (Unfamiliar)]

in reality,

Yu Mikami narrowly avoided Kakashi's attack, then used the Substitution Jutsu to teleport several meters away before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"This can be considered..."

Succeeded?

Hmm... judging from the strategy list, it seems like it's a success.

Although he lost to Kakashi in the competition, he still managed to demonstrate enough potential to impress this seemingly classically chuunibyou (delusional) "beautiful girl." From now on, all he needs to do is follow the steps of [dialogue] and [practice] to gradually increase her affection level.

To be honest, this "encounter" was quite dangerous.

Although it was training and he and Kakashi were using wooden swords, judging from the fact that his opponent was able to break his wooden sword, if that blow had landed on him, it might have caused serious injury, and he wouldn't have been able to recover without several days of bed rest.

"……Wow!"

Until this point.

Obito and Rin, who were watching from a short distance away, finally recovered from their breathless state and remembered that they could breathe.

Chapter 52 First Mission Outside the Village

"Yu-kun... and Kakashi-kun... they're both amazing."

"Not only ninjutsu, but also swordsmanship..."

Nohara Rin let out a long sigh of relief, nervously clutching the ninja tool pouch beside her, her palms sweating profusely.

As a fellow graduate of the same class, she felt the gap between herself and these two geniuses was enormous. Especially Mikami Yu, who hadn't shown much promise just a few months ago, but now she felt a sense of awe and admiration for him; his progress was so rapid, it was like a dream.

If things continue like this, Nohara Rin is worried that she will become a burden to the team.

next to.

Obito didn't think much of it. He flipped over and jumped up, yelling, "Change of fighters! Yu's sword is broken, it's my turn to fight Kakashi!"

"..."

Kakashi had originally intended to go back and rest for a while, but upon hearing Obito's voice, he stopped in his tracks and sighed, "Come on. If you can last two minutes against me, you win."

"?"

……

As Obito and Kakashi became entangled.

Yu Mikami returned to the side and sat down next to Rin Nohara.

"Lin, how did you feel practicing climbing trees and treading water?"

"Hmm, it's a little better than yesterday. I can climb trees up to halfway without falling, but wading in water... it's still a bit difficult to maintain my balance, and my chakra flow is not very stable."

"Nohara Rin said in a low voice."

"Do it once and let me see."

Yu Mikami said.

Seeing Mikami Yu speak,

Nohara Rin stood up, covered her feet with chakra, and took two steps barefoot into the stream beside her. Sure enough, she swayed, her chakra became disordered, and she stepped into the water with a splash. Mikami Yu pulled her from behind so that she wouldn't get completely wet.

"It's still a problem of uneven chakra distribution."

Mikami Yu extended his finger and lightly touched Rin's ankle and calf. "Just now, here and here, your muscles were too tense, which caused chakra flow to be obstructed. Relax, release your chakra from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of your foot, and evenly cover the entire sole. Imagine it is a soft cushion supporting you."

"Um……"

Nohara Rin responded, her wet, pale toes curling up slightly, as if she were a little embarrassed by the contact.

But then, following Mikami Yu's instructions, she tried to relax her tense calf muscles, adjust her chakra output, and try again.

how to say……

These past few days, the lives of Mikami Yu and the others have been quite monotonous.

Every day consists of eating, sleeping, and checking in with Kashi.

I also managed to complete about ten D-level missions in my spare time.

The tasks range from clearing debris from riverbeds to helping villagers find lost pets, assisting in repairing walls, harvesting herbs, cleaning training grounds, and capturing wild boars that damage farmland—a truly diverse array.

Although Obito had strong opinions about this, believing that with his strength he shouldn't waste his time on these ordinary missions, Minato Namikaze carried out the requirements, and Kakashi consistently suppressed Obito, so the team was able to maintain a relatively stable position.

Minato Namikaze came by this morning, but was called away midway through; apparently, something happened at the Hokage Building. So only Yu Mikami and a few others are left training here by themselves.

In truth, Mikami Yu also wanted to leave the village, after all, he still had a mission to "vindicate the Great Fireball." However, given that Obito and Nohara Rin's strength was still lacking—they hadn't even mastered climbing trees or walking on water—he could only wait...

"Bam—!!"

Obito's figure flew high into the air and landed on the ground not far from Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin.

"One minute and forty-nine seconds, five seconds longer than last time."

Kakashi, hands in his pockets, said to Obito from a distance, "With your current strength, you shouldn't be thinking about when to leave the village, but rather how to avoid holding anyone back. Otherwise, if the mission goes wrong, Mikami Yu and I will have to be distracted protecting you."

"What did you say?! Who asked you to protect them?!"

Dai Tu was so angry he jumped up and down.

Just as Kakashi pursed his lips, preparing to make a few more sarcastic remarks, a faint golden light flashed in the distance, and then a familiar figure appeared there—it was none other than Minato Namikaze, who had disappeared for most of the day.

"Kakashi, how are you?"

"Minato-sensei..."

Seeing Minato Namikaze approach, Kakashi went over to report on today's progress.

The latter listened patiently, then glanced at Mikami Yu and the others, his smile gentle: "It seems everyone has been training very diligently, which puts my mind at ease. I was originally planning to let you consolidate your basics for a few more days, but there happens to be a C-rank mission now. I wonder if you are confident?"

"A Class C mission?"

Need to leave the village?

Mikami Yu and Obito's eyes lit up at the same time.

Yu Mikami was happy to be able to do the "Great Fireball" mission.

Obito, on the other hand, was simply overambitious and wanted to achieve too much too quickly.

Kakashi frowned slightly, noticing something amiss: "Minato-sensei, isn't this... too fast? Normally, a genin team needs at least half a month to get used to each other before considering a mission outside the village."

Minato Namikaze's smile faded slightly, and he sighed softly: "Yes, that's how it is under normal circumstances."

"But you've all noticed, haven't you? The number of wounded in the village has increased significantly recently, and the intelligence from the border... isn't looking too good either. We may not have that much time to prepare step by step; we need to build up effective combat capability before an even worse situation arises."

The atmosphere instantly became more tense.

Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin had been to Konoha Hospital and knew about the situation Minato Namikaze had described.

Kakashi had only recently returned from outside the village.

Even the slow-witted Obito sensed something was wrong and stopped complaining.

see,

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "But there's no need to worry. Because of Kakashi and Yu, the average strength of our team is stronger than that of a typical genin team. Also, C-rank missions usually don't involve encountering enemy ninjas, which is why I decided to give it a try."

"Don't worry, even if we encounter unexpected situations, I'm quite confident that I can bring you back to Konoha."

present.

Minato Namikaze took out a mission scroll and passed it around to Yu Mikami and the others.

The mission involves escorting medical personnel and supplies to the border of the Land of Fire.

Departure time is the day after tomorrow.

Upon seeing this assignment, Yu Mikami subconsciously thought of her father, who was on duty at the border. She wondered how he was doing; judging by the timeline, his duty should be ending soon…

That's basically the situation.

Minato Namikaze said, "You guys should finish your training early today and go back. You don't need to do any more missions tomorrow, so you can rest and pack your things. Although it's a C-rank mission, it still has some danger, and you might encounter unexpected situations. Remember to bring enough ninja tools."

"Meet at the village entrance at 7 a.m. the day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

Yu Mikami and the others nodded in agreement.

Until Minato Namikaze left,

Kakashi glanced at Mikami Yu and said casually, "Hey, Mikami. You're interested in swordsmanship, aren't you?"

Chapter 53: A new [gift], and the Clone Technique at max level!

"That's it."

Yu Mikami nodded.

Putting aside the newly acquired objective of "Hatake Sword Technique," he also wanted to address his weakness in close combat. Compared to fist techniques and "Eight Gates," which require much longer practice to achieve results, using weapons to enhance combat power was clearly a more convenient approach.

At this time, Kakashi was still determined to inherit his family's swordsmanship. It would be a waste not to use such a good sparring partner.
