Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Then I heard—

[Ding! High-quality potential target detected: "Uchiha-style swordsmanship"! Initiate an encounter: Yes/No]

"coming!"

Just as Mikami Yu took a deep breath, intending to activate "Transformation Jutsu: Partial Transformation" to engage Shisui in a prolonged battle and complete this "Encounter," he suddenly heard another clear, aloof voice rang out abruptly in his ear:

[Hatake Sword Technique: Hmph! Such childish skill, yet you dare to show off before an expert! I think this guy doesn't take me seriously at all!]

[Hatake Sword Technique: Little White-Haired Girl, ignore her. Give me time, and I will guide you beyond the "Uchiha Style Swordsmanship"!]

"...?"

Yu Mikami's eyelids twitched.

As martial arts techniques, "Uchiha-ryu swordsmanship" and "Hatake swordsmanship" not only lack the kinship of Great Fireball and Phoenix Flower, but also seem to have a kind of mutual repulsion between similar things.

This is an unprecedented development...

If he listens to "Hatake Sword Technique" and refuses the [Encounter], will it increase the latter's favorability?

The thought only lasted a few seconds.

Then, Yu Mikami made his choice: "I refuse."

While having more people to pursue is a good thing, a person's energy is limited.

Yu Mikami's "Hatake Sword Technique" is only at the beginner level. He hasn't even unlocked the first stage trait of 25 affinity. There are still a bunch of other ninjutsu to practice, plus the missions to complete... At this time, when he encounters "Uchiha Style Sword Technique", he simply doesn't have time to practice it and can only leave it in the list to gather dust.

Therefore, it would be better to focus our efforts on mastering the "Hatake Sword Technique".

If the latter technique is powerful enough, then he wouldn't need to learn other sword techniques. At most, he could learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses through regular sparring, and further refine his already excellent Hatake sword technique to make it even more perfect.

really……

Just as Mikami Yu had predicted, when he selected "No," the text box in the corner system changed again:

[Hatake Sword Technique: Hmph, that's more like it.]

[Hatake's swordsmanship affinity +3! Current affinity: 9/100 (Unfamiliar)]

then.

Yu Mikami felt a cold yet sharp thought enter his mind:

[Hatake Sword Technique: Three steps to the left, beyond the shadow of a pine tree! His next sword will surely strike through this shadow, aiming for your lower body! Sink your waist! Lower your center of gravity, and press the blade down three inches! After parrying, thrust forward to stab his chest! Force him to change his move!]

"Ok?"

Has online teaching already begun?

And the reporting was so precise, even specifying how many inches the blade had been pressed down?

Although Yu Mikami had some doubts, he did as instructed.

"Ding!"

Sure enough, just as Mikami Yu's blade was about to fall, a cunning, cold light, just as Hatake's swordsmanship had predicted, mysteriously emerged from the gap in the shadows of the trees on the left, aiming straight for his calf! But it was blocked by the tip of his blade!

"?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shisui's eyes.

His "Sun Halo Dance" is an extremely concealed surprise attack technique in the Uchiha school. It is tricky in angle and fast in speed. People who have never seen it before would never be able to see through it, let alone intercept it accurately!

—In fact, even if you could see it, it wouldn't mean you could stop him. Because Shisui's attack speed was extremely fast, coupled with the Uchiha clan's superhuman dynamic vision, it was almost impossible for an ordinary person to keep up.

Just as Shisui's technique was broken, and his old strength was gone while new strength had not yet been generated, Mikami Yu suddenly stepped forward and thrust his short sword straight at Shisui's vital point in the chest!

"?!"

Shisui's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly leaned back, his wrist twitching rapidly as the short sword danced in front of his chest, creating a dense screen of light!

"Clang clang clang clang!!"

A series of extremely rapid clangs of metal clashing rang out like popping beans! In that short span of time, the two had exchanged no less than a dozen blows! The afterimages created by the clashing blades were like splashes of water!

Only when Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique to create distance did the attacks from both sides temporarily slow down.

At this moment, Shisui's face was filled with unparalleled surprise: "As expected of a senior who has already become a genin, not only is his taijutsu excellent, but his swordsmanship is also so amazing... I will do my best from now on!"

"No problem, let's go!"

After a brief period of building momentum.

Shisui charged out again, faster than before, as if he had split into two or three. The short sword in his hand transformed into a continuous silver net of light, showcasing the speed and unpredictability of the Uchiha-style swordsmanship to the extreme: "Whirlwind Sword!"

however,

Under the real-time guidance of "Hatake Sword Technique," Mikami Yu seemed to have gained supernatural insight. Although his dynamic vision couldn't keep up with Shisui's sword speed, he was always able to parry, dodge, and counterattack Shisui's sword in the most effortless and fastest way! He resolved one crisis after another with the slightest difference in precision.

[Hatake Sword Technique: Hmph, another feint! He's shifting his weight to his right leg, his sword veering off course to attack your left ribs! Step half a step to the side, sword held horizontally in front of your chest, parry and then smoothly twist his sword!]

[Hatake Sword Technique: Three inches to the right rear, use a horizontal slash to force him to turn! His next strike will definitely cut through your right side! Spinning slash! Seven-tenths of your strength!]

[Hatake Sword Technique: My swordsmanship emphasizes speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness—a single, fatal strike! Ignore his changing moves, thrust straight for the center!]

Chapter 69 Asuma's Swordsman Dream and the Exploration of the "Instant Shadow Assassination Formation"

On the training ground, swords flashed and the sounds of collisions were deafening.

Both Yu Mikami and Shisui are currently under ten years old and their bodies have not fully developed, but their swordsmanship level has far surpassed that of their peers. At first glance, it looks like a duel between sword masters.

This scene made Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai's eyes sparkle, and a faint blush appeared on their cheeks.

Even Asuma was somewhat fascinated and had the urge to switch jobs and become a swordsman.

Whether it's strong or not...

This fighting style looks really cool! It's incredibly eye-catching!

Asuma even wanted to go a step further and try something unusual—the saying goes, "An inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous." If Yu Mikami could wield a short sword that was more than half a meter long with such an effect, wouldn't it look even cooler and more powerful if Asuma wielded a super short sword that was 20 centimeters long?

Yes, I've decided!

I'll go home today and discuss it with my husband to see if we can get a chakra metal sword!

Then I'll pick a cool name, which will definitely surprise Mikami Yu and make his teammate Yuhi Kurenai look at him with new respect!

at last……

After another fierce clash of blades, Mikami Yu and Uchiha Shisui each took a few steps back, panting heavily.

Let's stop here.

Yu Mikami spoke up first: "Let's call this a draw for now, and we'll have another chance to fight next time."

[Hatake Sword Technique: Why did you stop already? Well, alright, considering you're a beginner and still not very skilled, I'll leave it at that for now. Next time you encounter this "Uchiha-style swordsmanship," I'll make sure you suffer a crushing defeat!]

"Yes, yes, yes, mere Uchiha swordsmanship is nowhere near as good as our family's invincible Hatake swordsmanship. Of all the swordsmanship I've ever seen, I, Mikami Yu, would gladly call you the strongest!"

Following Hatake Tojutsu's lead, Mikami Yu silently praised him.

This shameless praise did indeed have the desired effect:

[Hatake Sword Technique: Hmph, you've only seen a few sword techniques... And who else is related to you? But at least you have some discernment. Next time you call me out, don't let me see you make the same mistake.]

[Hatake's swordsmanship affinity +2]

the other side.

Shisui slowly sheathed his sword, the fighting spirit in his eyes subsided, and he reverted to the slightly shy young man: "Senior, you had already fought three battles before we sparred, and you were not at your peak. Moreover, your swordsmanship is even more unfathomable, almost as if you can foresee the future. I have learned a lot."

"Each each other."

Yu Mikami let out a soft sigh: "For someone your age to achieve this level is truly astonishing. Let's have more opportunities to exchange ideas and learn from each other's strengths."

"it is good."

Zhi Shui nodded in response.

As a "high-potential target," "Hatake Sword Technique" is not easy to raise in terms of favorability, averaging only 1 or 2 points per day, which is higher than "Eight Gates" but lower than "Great Fireball" and "Healing Technique."

But after fighting Shisui this time, his favorability rating increased by 5 points.

This put Yu Mikami in a great mood.

He even started to consider whether he should find a few more ninjas skilled in "Konoha-ryu swordsmanship" and "secret swordsmanship" and fight them one by one to see if he could stimulate Hatake's swordsmanship and raise his favorability rating in one go.

Hmm, I need to plan this out properly when I have time.

In this regard, perhaps we could consider asking Minato Namikaze for help. Given his status as a Jonin, he should know a few experts in this field. Inviting him over for a sparring session shouldn't be too much of a problem. At worst, we could just buy him a couple of packs of cigarettes afterward.

As for now...

"Asuma, shall we continue?"

"……never mind."

Asma shook his head: "You just fought this guy, you're too exhausted, I won't take advantage of you. Maybe next time."

"Alright then, let's practice again next time we have time, still at this training ground. Shisui, you can come along then too."

Yu Mikami said.

"Okay, I will."

……

The encounter with Shisui was just a brief interlude.

Afterwards, Yu Mikami, Asuma, and the others rested for a while, reviewed and organized the training session, and when it was almost time, they all went home.

For the next ten days or so.

Yu Mikami's life returned to normal once again.

I run a few laps every morning to exercise.

In the morning, I went to Konoha Hospital to listen to Tsunade's lecture and occasionally acted as a free laborer, helping to treat the injured in the hospital.

In the afternoon, I went to the training ground to train, and occasionally sparred with Kakashi and others, as well as Shisui.

During that time, he also took some time to go out with Rin Nohara and Obito to do a few D-rank missions and one C-rank mission—this one was a relatively normal C-rank mission, and they didn't encounter any enemy ninjas, so they completed it easily.

I don't know if Obito went to talk to Kakashi about White Fang that day, but judging from their way of getting along, there wasn't much change. One of them was still clueless and the other was still unhappy. It's just that when Obito argued with Kakashi, his tone seemed to have softened a lot.

Nohara Rin learned "Water Clone" and "Water Ripple" from Mikami Yu and is practicing them diligently.

As for Yu Mikami himself, he was working hard to increase his affinity and proficiency with techniques such as Great Fireball, Housen Fire, and Hatake Sword Technique.

He tried out the "Instant Shadow Killing Array," but encountered a small problem:

First, the "Phantom Stage" consumes more chakra than expected.

From the moment it's activated, even if you stand still, your chakra will continuously decrease, automatically dissipating after about eight to ten minutes. However, if Yu Mikami frequently unleashes ninjutsu like the Great Fireball Technique during this process, the duration might drastically decrease to even shorter than Ultraman's transformation.

This problem is complicated in some ways, but easy to solve in others.

After all, Yu Mikami is still young and his body is still developing. In addition, his chakra level will definitely continue to rise due to the increased physical condition from mastering ninjutsu.

Moreover, the "Instant Prison Shadow Killing Formation" does not necessarily have to be paired with ninjutsu; it can also be combined with the Hatake sword technique.

But this raises the second question—

As Hyuga Hizashi pointed out before, even if the Three Body Techniques can be seamlessly connected, Mikami Yu's nerve reaction still needs time.

The Substitution Jutsu has a casting time of 0.2 seconds, and in the "Illusionary Play" state, there is almost no cooldown, theoretically allowing for five strikes per second. However, in actual operation, considering that after each significant change of position, there is a step of adjusting body position, judging distance, and resuming output, Yu Mikami can only strike two or three times per second at most.

1v1 is alright.

In a 1v4 situation, the position of each enemy needs to be considered, and the landing point of the "Substitution Jutsu" needs to be repeatedly weighed. The amount of information that needs to be collected and processed becomes terrifying.

It's hard to imagine how much data was running through Minato Namikaze's mind during those few seconds when he instantly killed fifty ninjas.

The fact that this didn't burn out the CPU just shows that the brain capacity of vegetative ninjas in the ninja world is still too high...

"It seems I really need to find some time to discuss this with Minato-sensei..."

"Let's see if there's any way he can train his neural response abilities later in life..."

Chapter 70 Amaterasu, also known as "Little Fireball"!

Yu Mikami guessed that part of the reason he couldn't conquer "Flying Thunder God" for the time being might be that his innate physical conditions weren't up to par.
