Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

But at that moment, Inuzuka Tsurugi turned his head and looked in another direction. The big black dog next to him barked loudly, "The backup? In that direction, about a kilometer away, there seem to be three more people approaching, and they're moving very fast!"

"Three people..."

Kakashi assessed the distance and quickly said, "Jonin Inuzuka, please provide immediate support to Obito. Make sure to capture or kill that spy! Yu Mikami and I will intercept those approaching enemies here!"

"Okay, be careful! Just hold them off for a bit, and I'll be right back to help you!"

The three people split into two groups on the spot.

Inuzuka Tsuru took the dog to find Obito.

Yu Mikami and Kakashi stopped behind a rock and began setting up a trap under the cover of the rocks.

Yu Mikami's gaze pierced through the sparse trees and saw the three figures leaping among the rocks. They were wearing dark gray ninja outfits and headbands with what appeared to be four vertical lines.

"They are ninjas from the Land of Rain..."

Kakashi made his judgment.

The land of rain?

That's fine.

If these people are ninjas from the Five Great Ninja Villages, then Mikami Yu's first consideration should be how to deal with them or even escape, rather than killing them. After all, those who can come from the Five Great Ninja Villages are all quite skilled, at least having some means of survival.

However, if it's another ninja village, then we can be a bit bolder.

"Kakashi, let me ask you a question. What is your strongest Wind Release ninjutsu?"

Yu Mikami said.

"...Wind Release: Great Breakthrough. The frontal impact range is approximately ten meters, and the wind force is enough to blow away boulders. What's wrong?"

"My second question is, can you keep this a secret?"

"?"

"I have a tactic that might be able to easily defeat this squad, but I need your cooperation."

Yu Mikami lowered his voice and spoke softly.

As they were talking.

The Rain Ninja had already approached, getting closer and closer—one hundred meters…eighty meters…forty meters…

suddenly.

A Rain Ninja stepped on a booby trap set by Kakashi.

The explosion of the detonating tags sent sparks flying, forcing them to stop and scatter to both sides.

next moment.

Yu Mikami's figure vanished from the spot without warning!

"Substitution Technique: Imitation World Instant Cast!"

Chapter 60: Annihilation of the Rain Ninja Squad! Loot: Water Barrier!

In just a second, Mikami Yu appeared behind the group of Rain Ninja, releasing a ninjutsu that he had already completed hand seals through a thicket of bushes:

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!!!"

boom--!!!

A massive fireball appeared again, hurtling towards the four ninjas who had just turned around, their faces still filled with horror! The terrifying heat wave distorted the surrounding air!

"spread--"

The two fastest-reacting members of the Rain Ninja used Body Flicker Technique to dodge while simultaneously forming hand seals: "Water Release..."

Before they could even unleash their water-based techniques,

Yu Mikami vanished from his spot, replaced by Kakashi, whose hand seals were already complete. Facing the massive fireball about to collide with the enemy, Kakashi took a deep breath and shouted, "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!!!"

call--!!!!

In an instant, the already enormous fireball, amplified by the violent wind release, more than doubled in size! It rose like a small sun nearly ten meters in diameter, its color changing from orange-red to a dazzling, blazing white!

[Fireball Technique: Ahhh! That's awesome! Go, little mistress! That's it! Let everyone witness my power! (She dances excitedly in the sea of ​​fire)]

[Fireball Jutsu: Affection +2! Current Affection: 93/100 (Affection)]

This tactic is actually somewhat similar to that of Minato Namikaze.

They approach in an instant, delivering a fatal blow before the enemy can react.

Although Mikami Yu's "Substitution Jutsu" isn't as fast as "Flying Thunder God Technique," and neither he nor Kakashi possesses the same lightning-fast reflexes as Minato Namikaze, the good thing is that their opponents are only a few Chunin. In a normal fight, the outcome would be uncertain, but now, with their strategic advantage against the unsuspecting…

This scene was a nightmare for the three Rain Ninja!

"...Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

The two Rain Ninjas released their Water Release techniques at the last moment, but they failed to counteract the onslaught of heat. Instead, they created a large amount of high-temperature water vapor in the air, causing the Rain Ninjas to be scalded and lose their vision, resulting in a brief period of panic.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kakashi drew his White Fang short sword and rushed out, instantly cutting down one of the Rain Ninja.

"Ugh—!"

"my eyes!"

"Oh no! Put out the fire!"

At the same time that Kakashi made his move,

Yuya Mikami burst out from behind the rock where he was hiding, forming water clone seals as he ran, splitting his figure into four as he charged towards the group of Rain Ninja.

The latter hadn't reacted yet, and couldn't even immediately tell whether the attacker was a shadow clone released by one person or two. After all, both Mikami Yu and Kakashi had white hair and were of similar age and height, making them difficult to see clearly in the misty fog.

However, as well-trained ninjas, they were not so easily defeated in their fighting force, and they were still desperately trying to resist.

Yu Mikami protected his water clones in front of him, watching as two of the three clones were slashed by a Rain Ninja with a kunai and kicked away by another.

The instant his water clone dissipated, Mikami Yu clearly felt a surge of intense heat appear out of thin air within his limbs and bones, greatly increasing his strength! His speed and nerve reaction speed also leaped forward, to the point that everything around him seemed to slow down.

——【Clone Technique: One Person, One Army】!

Just as the Rain Ninja dealt with the two water clones, he saw a white figure approaching him at an almost terrifying speed, the short sword in its hand whistling through the air as it slashed down like a hammer!

clang!clang!clang!

In a hasty move, the Rain Ninja raised his kunai to block, each collision sending a violent jolt through his arm and numbing his hand! He staggered backward, roaring for help from his last companion: "Damn it! Help!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!!"

The last Rain Ninja unleashed a series of ninjutsu while throwing several shuriken, attempting to block Mikami Yu's escape route. But just as he was about to be pierced through from behind by a "Water Fang Bullet," Mikami Yu's figure vanished again, reappearing behind the Rain Ninja in front of him.

"what?!"

The rain ninja was horrified when she saw the water bullet in front of her. As she tried to dodge it, she was hit in the back by another "Great Fireball" from Mikami Yu and rolled to the ground with a scream.

At this moment, Kakashi finished off his opponent and came to help. Together, the two quickly defeated all three Rain Ninja.

after that.

Mikami Yu squatted down and began rummaging through the ninja tool bags and clothes of several Rain Ninjas. He found several kunai, shuriken, a stack of explosive tags, two bags of dry rations, two swords, and a ninjutsu scroll.

[Potential target detected: "Water Release: Water Formation Wall", triggering a limited-time encounter quest!]

OK OK.

Indeed, looting corpses is the only way to get rich.

The scroll contains the ninjutsu "Water Wall" that the Rain Ninja just used.

Judging from the fact that the guy probably only recently learned this technique and hasn't mastered it yet, he carried the scroll with him for easy access. Now, it's all gone to Mikami Yuu. It's a pity that the other Rain Ninja's "Water Fang Bullet" didn't explode, otherwise, they could have gained even more.

But one ninjutsu is enough; trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure. Besides, there will be opportunities to leave the village in the future.

After the looting was completed.

Yu Mikami stood up, and when he looked up, he met Kakashi's scrutinizing eyes.

"Just now... what was that spell that instantly switched our positions?"

"You mean that? It's a ninjutsu that I figured out and developed myself. It's an advanced version of the 'Substitution Technique,' called 'My Own Substitution Technique,' which allows me to instantly swap places with a pre-set object within a certain range. However, it has many limitations."

"for example?"

"The range is only about forty meters, no more than that. And the chakra consumption is several times that of a normal substitution jutsu. Just now, after switching with you, plus the times I used it for dodging and attacking before, I feel like my chakra is almost depleted, and I'm even a little dizzy."

Mikami Yu deliberately stated that the distance was reduced by half and exaggerated the chakra consumption.

After all, information about ninjutsu is a closely guarded secret for every ninja, and even teammates generally don't reveal it easily. However, Kakashi is quite reliable, and Mikami Yu intends to use this method to gain some of his trust, laying the groundwork for learning his techniques later.

Kakashi was silent for a few seconds, his deadpan eyes revealing little emotion. Then he spoke, "The effect is amazing. However, an incompletely developed technique carries significant risks. I'll keep it a secret, but I suggest you mention it to Minato-sensei; perhaps he can help you perfect this technique."

"I'll consider it."

Yu Mikami nodded.

At this time.

Inuzuka Tsuru, carrying Fujiwara who was tied up like a dumpling and had a bruised and swollen face, and with Obito looking a little disheveled, rushed over from the other side of the forest.

Chapter 61 Ninjutsu Bonds, Activated!

"Kakashi, Yu! Hang in there! Obito is here to save you..."

Obito was still shouting loudly, as if he wanted to save Yu Mikami and Kakashi from their predicament, but after parting the bushes and seeing the situation, he was stunned.

Beside him, Inuzuka Tsurugi also noticed what had happened, his surprise no less than Obito's: "You've taken care of everything? You were quick! These guys must have been Chunin from Amegakure, right? You two just took them down like that?"

"Yes, it's mainly thanks to Yu."

Kakashi did not take credit for it.

Obito originally wanted to boast about himself, but after seeing Mikami Yu and Kakashi's achievements, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

After all, it was a two-on-one situation on his side, and he almost lost in the one-on-one fight. It wasn't until Inuzuka Tsuru arrived that he was able to take down his opponent. Compared to the quick two-on-three kill on this side, it was really child's play.

"Haha, not bad!"

Inuzuka Tsuru patted Kakashi on the shoulder, then looked at Mikami Yu with an appreciative expression: "Your name is Hatake Kakashi, right? I heard your name a couple of years ago. And you, as expected of Minato's subordinate, you've got something! Looks like the 'Yellow Flash' has a successor!"

"'Golden Flash'?"

Obito was taken aback. "Is that Minato-sensei's nickname? Is he very strong? How does he compare to 'Konoha's White Fang'?"

Before the words were even finished, the air froze instantly.

Kakashi suddenly turned his head, stared coldly at Obito, then snorted and turned to leave.

"Hey! Kakashi! What are you doing...?"

Obito's behavior was a bit inexplicable.

Inuzuka Tsurugi's smile froze, and he scratched his head awkwardly: "This kid, why does he always bring up the most awkward things... We're all Konoha ninjas, there's no need to distinguish between us. Alright, we can't stay here any longer, let's take this guy and head back to camp!"

Obito was still confused, then looked at Mikami Yu: "What did I say wrong?"

"...Go ask Minato-sensei yourself later. I'm leaving."

Mikami Yu sighed and said.

……

On the way back, a light drizzle began to fall.

After arriving at the camp.

Kiba Inuzuka handed Fujiwara over to Hayato Akiyama and truthfully reported the events of the battle. Hayato, upon learning the whole story, was overjoyed and repeatedly said he would write a few positive comments in the mission report of Yu Mikami and the others.

Obito was delighted with this.

Yu Mikami and Kakashi, on the other hand, remained relatively calm.

After the report, Mikami Yu took out the spoils of war, except for the scroll that recorded the "Water Formation Wall," and reported them to Akiyama Jun, asking if they should be put into the camp's storeroom. As expected, Akiyama Jun politely declined.

Thus, these items rightfully became the spoils of war for the "Watergate Squad".
