While one can pursue the path of a medical ninja, even medical ninjas need basic combat abilities, at least the ability to protect themselves.

Asuma coughed and said, "Yu, I'd like to spar with you again. I've recently learned a couple of new ninjutsu techniques, but I haven't found a suitable person to practice with yet..."

Good guy.

How come all the blame for this bond has shifted to him now that Obito is gone?

Yu Mikami also mentioned that he'd try out the "Instant Prison Shadow Assassination Formation" this afternoon...

There are supposed to be five people at this table, so why is that guy named Namiashi Raido so barely noticeable...?

Yu muttered as he finished the last sip of soup, wiping his mouth. "Alright, see you at the 13th Training Ground at 3 PM. I'm going back for a nap first. Lin, are you coming back with me?"

"it is good!"

……

The afternoon sun shone through the tall trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground of the thirteenth training field.

Yu Mikami, Rin Nohara, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma converged here from several different directions.

Who wants to go first?

Mikami Yu asked.

"...I'll do it."

Kurenai glanced at Asuma, and seeing that the latter did not speak, she took the first step forward and stood in the center of the field.

"Come."

Yu Mikami, with his bare hands, beckoned.

"Aren't you going to use a weapon?" Kurenai Yuhi frowned slightly.

"Not for now. Let's see how much your physical skills have improved since then."

"...Okay. Let's go!"

Before she finished speaking, Kurenai threw out a large handful of shurikens to clear a path. Then, as Yuu Mikami dodged to the side, Kurenai rushed forward in a flash, her kunai turning into a cold star and stabbing straight at Yuu Mikami's left shoulder. Yuu Mikami barely managed to dodge it at the last second, and then grabbed Kurenai's wrist holding the kunai with her left hand.

"ah!"

Kurenai Yuhi twisted her wrist sharply, slashing downwards at Yuu Mikami's fingers.

Mikami Yu changed his slapping motion to a gentle tap, striking the outside of Hong's forearm with a soft "smack." Although he didn't use his full strength, it still made Hong's arm go numb, forcing her to jump back to dodge.

how to say,

Kurenai Yuhi actually has some talent in physical combat, otherwise she wouldn't have received a rating of 8 in physical combat in the official guidebook.

From her brief encounter with Itachi in the original storyline, it can be seen that although Kurenai Yuhi was suppressed throughout, it was mainly because her stats were insufficient. As a woman without a bloodline limit, her strength was only 4, so she couldn't withstand Itachi's attacks, but her adaptability was not a problem.

right now,

The situation was similar when Yu Mikami practiced with her.

Kurenai Yuhi's fighting style emphasizes agility and speed, with kunai flying around, and specializing in attacking joints and vital points;

Mikami Yu, on the other hand, was more composed, mostly passively parrying attacks, but occasionally a sudden advance would force Red to scramble, showing a significant difference in strength.

But there's nothing we can do about it; after all, Yu Mikami has a cheat code.

Before he got the cheat, his physical skills were only slightly better than Kurenai Yuhi's. If he was still about the same after getting the cheat, then wouldn't he have gotten the cheat for nothing?

Chapter 67 An Unexpected Bystander: Uchiha Shisui! A Clash of Swords and Blades!

After about twenty moves.

Yu Mikami finally found Kurenai's weakness, disarmed her with his bare hands, forced her to release her kunai, and then finished the fight with a few more punches and kicks.

Afterwards, Mikami Yu thought for a moment and pointed out the flaws in Kurenai Yuhi's physical movements, advising her to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses. If possible, she could try light weight training to improve her weaknesses—heavy weight training might affect her development, and it would be troublesome if she didn't grow up.

Um... he was referring to the size.

in addition,

Mikami Yu didn't forget to remind her, "Kurenai, your talent for illusion magic is quite good, so you should focus on developing that aspect. As for physical techniques, they can be a secondary skill. Perhaps you could try combining the two to develop some illusion-body techniques."

While Kurenai's "genjutsu talent" is nothing compared to Itachi's, the problem is that Itachi during his Mangekyou Sharingan era was already close to the pinnacle of genjutsu in the ninja world. With Kurenai's talent, if properly developed, she could at least rival the Uchiha clan members with three tomoe.

This is enough to instantly kill many ninjas with poor resistance to illusions.

"I see."

Kurenai Yuhi walked away from Yu Mikami, panting, to go offstage for a break.

Rin Nohara was brought in instead.

Although they are teammates,

However, Yu Mikami had to admit that Rin Nohara's physical skills were far inferior to Kurenai Yuhi's, lacking in both strength and technique.

You can learn and practice more skills.

As for power... if there's enough time, Rin could follow Sakura Haruno's path, using Yin Seal and Super Strength Technique, which would significantly boost her combat power. However, this approach has a long development cycle, starting at two or three years. I'm afraid that before we see any results, the Battle of Kannabi Bridge will have already broken out.

“Let’s take it one step at a time. Yin Seal isn’t something that’s easy to learn. In a few days, I’ll find an opportunity to teach Lin ‘Water Clone’ and ‘Water Chaos Wave’. That will give her more skills to help her escape and survive…”

"I need to practice the water formation technique a little longer, I haven't even mastered it myself yet..."

"I wonder if I can teach you a transformation technique with special properties. I can give it a try..."

Forget about the substitution technique; even if it could be taught, Mikami Yu has no intention of passing it on. Having him use it like this is enough.

Asuma was the last to take the stage.

"Come on, Yu! I won't give up so easily this time!"

Before he finished speaking, Asuma took a big step and rushed forward, his right fist whistling through the air as it aimed straight for Mikami Yu's face.

Mikami Yu raised his arm to block, his forearm colliding with his fist with a dull thud. He took a half step back to dissipate the force, while his left hand reached out to grab Asuma's wrist. Asuma blocked the grab with his elbow, and with his other hand, he pulled a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and slashed it diagonally in an arc!

"clang!"

Yu Mikami drew the short sword from his back and used the metal ring at the end of the hilt to block the blade of the kunai.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Just as the two were locked in close combat, their movements becoming increasingly rapid, Mikami Yu caught a glimpse of something unusual out of the corner of his eye. He suddenly exerted his strength, knocking Asuma back a step, and at the same time used a substitution jutsu to retreat, his gaze shooting like lightning towards the bushes not far away: "Who's there? Come out!"

"Huh? Someone?"

Asuma, Kurenai, and Rin also looked warily towards the shady spot.

After a brief silence.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and a rather thin figure emerged, looking embarrassed.

The other person looked to be about seven or eight years old, slightly younger than Mikami Yu and the others. He had slightly curly black hair, wore a dark blue short-sleeved tribal uniform, and carried a short sword on his back like Mikami Yu. His bright black eyes held a hint of embarrassment at being caught.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spy on you. I just happened to be passing by and heard the fighting. I wanted to observe and learn from it."

"An Uchiha?" Asuma frowned, recognizing the ping-pong paddle clan crest on the boy's sleeve.

"Yes, my name is Uchiha Shisui, and I haven't become a ninja yet."

When the boy introduced himself, Mikami Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

really.

It's this guy who possesses "Kotoamatsukami".

He knew that Shisui and Obito's group were close in age, but he had never seen them before at the Ninja Academy. He wondered if they had never enrolled or for some other reason.

—Among the ninja clans, there are indeed a group of people who don't attend the ninja academy but follow the clan's training path, such as the future Hyuga Hanabi. In fact, in the eyes of some powerful clans, only abandoned children who have no hope and whose training is insignificant are sent to the ninja academy.

Therefore, seeing Shisui here today was somewhat unexpected for Mikami Yu.

but……

This is a real gem.

Compared to Obito, who only knew the Fireball Jutsu, Shisui, though slightly younger, as a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, likely possessed a wider range of ninjutsu. Furthermore, he was highly skilled in genjutsu. Learning even a move or two from him would be a significant advantage for Mikami Yu.

There isn't a single illusion-related strategy in his strategy guide list.

Seeing that Shisui bowed slightly in greeting and was about to leave,

Yu Mikami spoke up at the right moment, "Since you're here to 'observe and learn,' just watching isn't enough, let's practice together?"

Shisui paused slightly, glanced at Mikami Yu, then at Asuma and the others beside him, and hesitated for a moment: "This... isn't this a bit inappropriate? You guys are practicing..."

"It's alright, it's just a friendly spar. We're all comrades from Konoha, so there's no need to be so petty."

"Asuma, what do you think?"

"..."

Although Asuma was a little annoyed that the battle had been interrupted, he maintained composure with Mikami Yu in front of the Uchiha clan. He was also curious about the young Uchiha's strength, so he nodded and stepped aside, saying, "Please do as you wish."

"That……"

Shisui licked his lips, no longer refusing. He placed his hand on the hilt of the sword behind his back, his eyes becoming serious. "Then please give me your guidance, senior."

"Okay, come on."

Mikami Yu took a deep breath and assumed a sword stance.

Shisui also drew his short sword.

With a sword in hand, Shisui's entire demeanor shifted abruptly. His previous shyness vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp, piercing aura. He crouched slightly, like a cheetah poised to pounce, and after a brief standoff, he took a step forward—

"call!"

Without a word, Shisui's figure transformed into a blurry black line, instantly traversing the distance of over ten meters between the two! His speed was so fast that it left afterimages! As he moved, he already gripped the short sword on his back, and like a viper flicking its tongue, a cunning and ruthless glint of light shot straight at Mikami Yu's ribs!

"So fast!"

Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai exclaimed in surprise.

Mikami Yu's pupils contracted slightly. Relying on the instinctive reaction he had honed through days of sparring with Kakashi, he flicked his wrist and the short sword slashed out precisely at an angle!

"Clang—!!"

A crisp clang of metal clashing rang out! Sparks flew between the two short swords!

The immense force traveled along the blade, surprising Mikami Yu.

"This guy...is that strong?"

Chapter 68 Hatake Sword Technique: I will surpass the "Uchiha Style Sword Technique" without needing to master it.

When Shisui's first attack missed, he immediately changed his move. With a flick of his wrist, the sword flowed out like mercury spilling onto the ground, slicing, wiping, and parrying. The angle of the attack was unpredictable, and each strike carried astonishing penetrating power and speed, fiercely attacking Mikami Yu!

It is the Uchiha clan's famous Uchiha-style swordsmanship, known for its agility and unpredictability!

Mikami Yu also unleashed his "Hatake Sword Technique" to counter it head-on!

Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping!

The sound of dense, rain-like collisions instantly filled the entire training ground! The two figures were like two intertwined whirlwinds, their blades flashing and their figures indistinguishable.

Asuma and the others were dazzled by what they saw, and Nohara Rin nervously gripped the hem of her clothes and held her breath.

In all fairness,

Of the people present, Zhishui has the highest talent and potential.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title "Shisui of the Body Flicker" during the Third Shinobi World War at a age only one year younger than Asuma and the others. Even Kakashi, who was always considered a genius, only gradually gained fame after obtaining the Sharingan.

And this talent is already beginning to show.

In terms of strength, Yu Mikami and Shisui are about the same, and Yu Mikami is even slightly stronger.

However, the technique of applying force to stop water makes up for this deficiency.

With each move, he maximizes his power and plans ahead. Although his attacks may not seem as fierce as Kakashi's, once he gains an advantage, he will continuously consolidate and expand it, snowballing his advantage.

In a sense, this fighting style is somewhat effective against "Hatake Tojutsu".

(By the way, based on the situation when I fought Kakashi before, the corner system should be starting to refresh the [Encounter] missions, right...?)

The thought had just crossed Mikami Yu's mind.
