Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

The entire group of "Yamaguma-shu" and the two Chunin all collapsed to the ground. The two Chunin suffered the worst fates: one was burned to death, and the other was first burned half to death and then hacked to death. On the contrary, the weaker mountain bandits had a slightly higher survival rate.

When everything settles down.

Kakashi grabbed the bandit leader named Kumada and questioned him about their origins.

Obito approached Nohara Rin and inquired about the situation with concern.

Minato Namikaze walked over to Yu Mikami, looking at the charred remains on the ground, then at the white-haired boy standing in the sea of ​​fire, illuminated by the flames like a god of fire, his expression somewhat subtle: "Yu, it's over."

"Your performance was excellent, even a bit beyond my expectations. Now that the enemy has been completely dealt with, you can stop and rest."

“…Okay, Minato-sensei.”

Mikami exhaled a long, smoky breath, then sheathed his sword, his expression neither sad nor happy.

But inside, he was overjoyed—

[Ding! Special event "Rectifying Hao's Fireball" completed!]

[Fireball Jutsu: Affection +10! Current Affection: 91/100 (Affection)]

[Fireball Jutsu: Little Sister, you did a great job!]

Indeed, special events are the fastest way to increase favorability, bar none.

Previously, when sparring with Kakashi in the village, Mikami Yu had already raised his affinity for the "Great Fireball Technique" to over 80 points, and now it has jumped another 10 points. It's almost at the "Heart to Heart" level.

If he's lucky, he might get his fourth ninjutsu with maxed affinity by the end of this mission.

Because of this sudden attack, the team had to stop and rest.

"...Minato-sensei, according to the bandit leader, those two ninjas were wandering ninjas from the Land of Rivers. They were entangled with them and specialized in this kind of highway robbery. This time, they attacked purely out of greed. This information should be true."

"I see."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "We're still quite a distance from the border, so it's unlikely that enemy ninjas will appear so early... But even if they are naval ninjas, they're enough to upgrade this mission to Rank B. Everyone must be extra careful on the journey ahead."

"Also, Yu and Obito performed very well just now, especially Yu... Did you suddenly appear behind that Earth Release ninja using a substitution jutsu? When did you set up the substitution jutsu?"

"This one……"

Yu Mikami smiled slightly: "Isn't it a normal habit to throw out a few substitutes around you as soon as you encounter a crisis?"

—In fact, what Mikami Yu used earlier was "Simulated World Instantaneous Release". Theoretically, he could have directly switched places with that Earth Release ninja, but that would have been too obvious, so Mikami Yu temporarily threw a pebble at his feet, then flashed behind the Earth Release ninja and killed him.

This kind of trick might fool Kakashi and the others, but it might not fool Minato Namikaze.

However, the latter did not intend to pursue the matter. He simply asked casually and then changed the subject, beginning to review Obito and Rin's actions.

"...When you sense someone attacking from behind, you must immediately create distance. At the same time, concentrate your chakra in your feet to stabilize your center of gravity. This will help you avoid being controlled by most control-type ninjutsu. The more critical the situation, the more important it is to remain calm..."

"Also, as Yu mentioned, setting up Stands in advance in case of potential battles is a good idea. Just be careful about where you place the Stands to avoid putting yourself in a passive position..."

"understood."

Obito and Rin Nohara nodded in agreement.

After that, the atmosphere quieted down again, with only the crackling sound of the flames burning.

At this time,

Obito dawdled over to Mikami Yu, who was wiping his short sword, his gaze fixed on the ground, his toes unconsciously grinding against a pebble. He said somewhat apologetically, "Hey... um, thanks for earlier, Yu."

Chapter 57 Snake's Surprise, and the Invitation to the Advanced Medical Class

"Ok?"

Yu Mikami glanced up at Obito, thinking to himself, "Why are you blushing like a teapot?" "Oh, you mean pulling you out of the quicksand? It was just something I did on the side. After all, Minato-sensei was trapped back then, so having more people meant more strength, and naturally, I had to get you out."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

Yu Mikami nodded.

At that time, the Earth Release ninja had already been severely injured by his Great Fireball from behind. Anyone could have easily subdued him, so saving Obito and saving Nohara Rin were no different; it just depended on who was closer.

Conversely, if the opponent still has the ability to fight, he will definitely save Obito.

Obito opened his mouth, but in the end he just straightened his chest and said solemnly, "Just this once! I will never fall for it again next time, and I will repay you for saving me this time! Watch me!"

"Oh, then good luck."

……

Two days later.

The weary caravan arrived at Wildfire City, a major town on the southwestern border of the Land of Fire.

The geographical records in the Konoha Library mention this town, which is said to have taken shape during the Warring States period and developed over several decades to reach its current size. Dozens of Konoha ninjas and some militia are stationed in the town year-round, tasked with patrolling the border and suppressing bandits.

At the camp gate.

Akiyama Hayato, a middle-aged ninja with an old scar on his face and wearing a Konoha Jonin vest, greeted Hebi Ji and Namikaze Minato.

"Lord Minato, Lord Jabami, you've finally arrived!"

Akiyama Hayato's voice was hoarse, tinged with weariness: "The situation at the border has been very tense lately. Small groups of troops from the Land of Rivers are constantly harassing us, the Rain Ninja are like groundhogs, and the Sand Village is becoming increasingly audacious; patrols are encountering battles almost every day..."

“The original medical team also had members injured, and there was a severe shortage of manpower, which is why we urgently requested assistance from the village this time.”

"Don't worry, Snake Ci is an experienced special Jonin, and also a disciple of Lord Biwako. He will definitely be able to treat the wounded properly."

Minato Namikaze said.

When you're outside, you can't see very clearly.

However, once inside the camp, Yu Mikami and the others discovered that there were more wounded than they had imagined. In a large space, there were about thirty hospital beds, most of which were occupied. Some had their limbs blown off by explosive tags, while others were covered in blood from being slashed by swords and knives... all groaning in pain.

"My leg... Ah—!"

"Hold on! The medical ninjas are coming soon!"

"No, the bleeding from the wound won't stop. If this continues, he'll die soon!"

"..."

Sheci frowned.

She clearly hadn't expected the situation to be so dire.

Judging from the current situation, about a quarter of the Konoha ninjas at the Wildfire City camp are injured.

Of course, these wounded included a small number of civilians and ninjas brought in from other camps, but the sheer number still illustrates the severity of the situation at the border. It's estimated that Konoha will soon have to send reinforcements to strengthen the defenses.

"Change everyone's clothes immediately, clean their wounds, and classify them according to the severity of their injuries. Prepare for surgery for the most serious ones..."

It was clear that the snake had begun to issue commands.

Nohara Rin hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Mikami Yu.

Mikami Yu understood and immediately took the initiative to say to Snake Ci, "Snake Ci-senpai, Rin and I have learned basic medical knowledge and 'healing techniques'. If you need any help, please feel free to ask."

"Ok?"

Snake Compassion also remembered this, and a look of relief appeared on her face: "Good child, we are short-handed. Come with me to change your clothes, and we'll start working right away!"

"Wait a moment……"

Obito quickly raised his hand: "Hey, what about me? I'm also an auditor in the medical training program! My name is Uchiha Obito!"

Snake Kindness: "You don't need to go."

"?"

soon.

Yuichi Mikami and the others all put on white coats.

Snake Ci quickly assigned tasks: she and several senior medical ninjas were responsible for the surgery on the seriously wounded; Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin, along with several other genin, were responsible for taking stock of the wounded, classifying them according to their severity and urgency, and providing basic cleaning, hemostasis, bandaging, and simple treatment to the lightly wounded.

This job isn't too difficult.

Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin exchanged a glance, calmed themselves down, and began to examine, register, stop the bleeding, and bandage...

"Open fracture of the left arm with massive bleeding! Surgery is needed immediately!!"

"Multiple lacerations on the chest, the wounds are deep but have not damaged major organs... Stop the bleeding and observe the situation. If the condition worsens, send the patient to the operating room immediately!"

"Minor burns and abrasions should be treated on-site..."

After the initial tension subsided, the situation gradually calmed down.

Mikami Yu cleaned and disinfected the wound of the Chunin with the injured arm, applied hemostatic powder, and then skillfully raised both hands to activate a ninjutsu:

[Target selected: Healing Spell]

【practise】

A soft green light, imbued with the breath of life, emanated from Mikami Yu's palm, then transformed into a gentle restorative force, seeping into the injured person's skin and flesh, stimulating the muscles and blood vessels to slowly undulate, connect, and heal...

During this process, tiny specks of dust were released from Mikami Yu's chakra and quietly spread around the wound. After the surface wound was stitched up, Mikami Yu could clearly "feel" a faint but continuous life energy spreading around the wound.

—Special Features: Healing Brand

This mark will continue to nourish the wound in the days to come, accelerating deep healing until the wound is fully restored.

"Okay, next one."

One, two, three...

Mikami Yu's movements became increasingly skilled; he stopped the bleeding, cleaned the wound, set the bone, sutured, and bandaged—all in one smooth motion. The healed wounded soldiers felt a cool and refreshing sensation at their wounds, and even their fatigue lessened considerably, prompting them to praise him.

"what?"

Snake Ci, who had just finished treating a serious injury, came over, intending to give Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin some pointers. However, when she saw several wounded people who had just been treated by Mikami Yu and were waiting to be transferred, she paused slightly and keenly sensed something was amiss.

She immediately knelt down and carefully examined the knife wound on the leg of one of the wounded soldiers. She gently pressed it a few times with her fingers through the bandage, and then even unwrapped a corner of the bandage. Looking at the skin and flesh below the stitches, she looked surprised: "Yu, did you treat these wounded soldiers? How did you do it?"

"Oh, right."

Mikami Yu nodded, calmly wiping the blood from his hands: "Basic cleaning and suturing, combined with healing techniques. Is there a problem, Serpent Companion?"

"...No problem, only surprise."

Snake Ci raised her head, her gaze intense: "Yu, your healing techniques are truly outstanding, far exceeding the level of ordinary genin. Even the trainees in the training program can't achieve such healing effects... Would you be interested in joining the 'Advanced Medical Class'?"

"Advanced medical team?"

"Yes."

Snake Ci explained, "That's where Konoha's top medical ninjas are trained. They are personally instructed by Lady Tsunade and Lady Sarutobi Biwako, and they teach even more advanced medical techniques and knowledge. I was awarded the rank of Special Jonin after graduating from that class."

“If you’d like, I can write you a letter of recommendation. With the exceptional healing talent you’ve demonstrated, I believe the village will value you highly.”

Chapter 58 The Poison of the Hidden Sands and the Spy Incident

"!"

Yu Mikami's heart stirred.

He had been coveting Tsunade for a long time.

As the princess of the Senju clan, Tsunade is not only the strongest medical ninja of her time, but also possesses taijutsu including "Super Strength Fist," as well as Senju clan legacies such as "Yin Seal" and "Hundred Healings Technique"... truly a treasure trove from head to toe. The benefits of close contact with her would be immense.

"Thank you for your kind words, Senior Snake Compassion. Um..."

"Lin is also very hardworking in the medical field and has a solid foundation. I wonder if a recommendation letter from a senior colleague would be helpful..."

Mikami Yu glanced at Nohara Rin, who was diligently recording the extent of her injuries not far away.

He couldn't keep such a good opportunity to himself.

If I could bring Nohara Rin along, I'd definitely have to.

"Lin's words..."

Sheci pondered for a moment: "She is indeed a meticulous and down-to-earth good child with a solid foundation, but the threshold for the advanced medical class is very high and the number of places is limited... I will try my best to say some good things about her in the recommendation letter, but I cannot guarantee that she will definitely succeed."

"That's enough, thank you very much."

Mikami Yu said with a smile.

Just as the group was talking...
