Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Yu Mikami glanced up.

no……

Where is the "gentleness"?

Well, maybe he'll be more restrained when he's with Minato Namikaze in private...

……

That night.

Yu and the others parted ways at the entrance of the residential area. Yu then went to the hospital to visit his father, while the others went home in different directions.

For some time afterward.

Every morning, Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara would first go to Konoha Hospital for a lecture, and then head to Minato Namikaze's place to participate in special training with Obito and Kakashi. By the time training ended, it was usually already sunset. After going back to eat and wash up, they would basically go to sleep.

Their days were quite fulfilling.

Under this training intensity, Mikami Yu could no longer max out his ninjutsu proficiency every day as he used to, and could only squeeze in a few moves whenever he had a spare moment.

but,

The special training was intended to improve their strength, and with a Jonin like Minato Namikaze providing guidance, it was a rare opportunity. The Gaggle System could wait; there wasn't much of a rush.

Of course, some can be practiced together with special training.

For example, "Eight Gates of Dunjia".

Yu Mikami tried to use Minato Namikaze's special training to replace the "Eight Gates" practice—both are high-intensity training methods to improve physical fitness, so you can't just run laps around Konoha, can you? Isn't sweating it out in a race-like way youthful enough?

[Eight Gates Formation: Hmm... this isn't the training I imagined. It doesn't feel right!]

[Eight Gates Formation: However, considering how hard you've worked these past few days, I'll tentatively acknowledge your youthful passion! Keep it up tomorrow!]

[Eight Gates Formation Affection +1, Current Affection: 14/100 (Unfamiliar)]

"As stingy as ever..."

Come to think of it, Mikami Yu added "Eight Gates" to her strategy list quite a while ago. As a result, now, apart from "Water Wall" which she only got on the last mission and hasn't had a chance to practice properly yet, even "Hatake Sword Technique" has a higher affinity level than her.

It is estimated that the characteristics of "Hatake Sword Technique" will be unlocked first.

There's also the "Phoenix Fire Technique," and the favorability rating has reached around 25.

Yu Mikami is quite looking forward to these two techniques.

Chapter 79, the Mission Hall? It's the "Konoha Marriage Agency"!

Besides cultivation,

There is one more thing worth mentioning.

That is, Tsunade kept her promise. Although she did not personally treat Mikami Tajima due to her hemophobia, she was deeply involved in his diagnosis and tailored a surgical and recovery plan for him.

If all goes well, Mikami Tajima has about a 30% chance of being able to walk again.

The odds are already quite high.

After all, when Lee encountered a similar situation more than a decade later, he almost died on the operating table even though Tsunade, who had overcome her hemophobia, performed the surgery herself.

Whether he can still be a ninja depends on luck. Making a preliminary judgment is very difficult.

Yu Mikami, however, didn't seem to care.

Continuing to be a ninja right now isn't a good thing. The best outcome would be to regain basic mobility so I don't become bedridden and dependent on medication, but at the same time, be unable to continue being a ninja. That way, I can switch careers and do some normal work.

Regarding this favor

Yu Mikami made a special trip to express his gratitude to Tsunade.

"No need for gratitude, this is simply Konoha Hospital's duty."

In the hospital office.

A woman with blonde twin tails was sitting at the table flipping through a medical book. Hearing this, she said without looking up, "If you have time, you should pay more attention to the medical class assessment at the end of this month. I've already said before, if you don't pass, you and Nohara Rin are both fired."

"...Thank you for the reminder, but please rest assured, Lady Tsunade."

Yu Mikami smiled slightly, a hint of confidence in his expression: "I'm all ready on my end, and we can start anytime. I'll also keep an eye on Rin."

"Oh? You're so confident?"

Tsunade put down her medical book, glanced at Mikami Yu, and then stretched. With this movement, the curves and cleavage of her chest became more pronounced, creating a stark contrast with her slender waist: "Then I'll wait and see how effective you are. It would be best if you could actually do it."

"Gudong-"

Mikami Yu unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Who could resist this sight?

the other side,

Tsunade seemed to sense something as well, and she stopped what she was doing and said, "You should go see your father quickly, don't waste time here. He's going to have surgery in a couple of days. Although the chances of failure are not high, it's not entirely impossible."

"...Lady Tsunade."

Yu Mikami didn't leave immediately, but took a deep breath: "I have another question I'd like to ask you, it's about 'neural activation technology'..."

……

After a while.

Yu Mikami left Tsunade's office and went to Tajima Mikami's bedside. The latter, overjoyed to learn that he might still be able to stand, pulled Yu aside and talked for a long time: "By the way, Yu, have you thought about what I said last time about exchanging merit for ninjutsu?"

"These achievements are just sitting there anyway, so why not teach you some powerful techniques for self-defense! Sunagakure and Konoha are already at war, and who knows when you kids will come into contact with things from the battlefield. It'll be too late to learn them then!"

"This one……"

Mikami Yu pondered deeply.

He had indeed been thinking about this issue these past few days, and even had a private chat with Minato Namikaze to seek his advice.

At present, Yu Mikami's tactical system is mainly divided into two sets.

One is close-quarters combat based on the Three-Body Technique and the "Hatake Sword Technique";

The second is a stationary fire escaping technique based on "Great Fireball: Incineration".

The former has great potential; the latter has high output.

As for Water Release and the Eight Gates Formation, my proficiency with them is still limited, so they can only be studied as supplementary skills.

Therefore, if you want to exchange for ninjutsu, the first thing to consider is whether to continue to improve your existing strengths or to address your weaknesses.

Yu Mikami personally leans towards the former.

After all, both Water Release and the Eight Gates are techniques that require a high amount of chakra. Although the characteristics of Water Chaos Wave can reduce chakra consumption, it is unlikely that he can use the "Sea Release" techniques of Tobirama Senju or Kisame Hoshigaki, at least in the short term.

Therefore, it would be better to first establish the already well-developed Fire Release system completely before discussing other things.

"...In this regard, my personal suggestion is to exchange for a ranged attack ninjutsu."

Minato Namikaze said, "Your 'Great Fireball' is already very well-practiced. With the addition of 'Household Fire Technique,' your firepower coverage at close to medium range is basically not a problem. If you want to improve on this, you can consider exchanging for a 'Dragon Fire Technique' or a 'Great Dragon Fire Technique.'"

"Both of these techniques have the ability to strike accurately at long range. Among them, 'Great Dragon Fire' can release multiple fire dragons at once after being mastered. With your fire release talent, Xiaoyou, you should have no problem achieving that."

"……really."

Yu Mikami nodded.

His original plan was actually to exchange it for "Extinguishing the Great Fire".

After all, the scene of Madara Uchiha using a single fire jutsu to fight against more than a dozen water jutsu was truly shocking.

But thinking about it carefully...

"Great Fire Annihilation" is essentially an enhanced version of "Great Fireball: Incineration". Its destructive power may indeed be more intense than "Great Fireball: Incineration", but correspondingly, it consumes more chakra. When facing a skilled opponent, it is easy for the opponent to dodge or block it.

Long-range precision strike capability is indeed something that his existing tactical system lacks.

"I wonder if I can get the 'Dragon Flame Song Technique' in exchange..."

That thing is supposedly a ninjutsu with a 100% hit rate.

However, this technique was only used by Madara Uchiha, and its difficulty and requirements for mastering it are exceptionally high. It's likely that Konoha's ninjutsu library doesn't even have it. The Uchiha clan might possess related ninjutsu manuals, but those are the private property of the Uchiha, inaccessible to outsiders.

"Then let's go with 'Heroic Dragon Fire'."

"Or you can slowly practice the 'Dragon Fire Technique'."

Yu Mikami makes a decision.

……

Two days later, in the afternoon.

Yu Mikami, carrying Mikami Tajima's identification document, arrived at Konoha's mission hall and expressed his request to exchange for ninjutsu.

"...You're Mikami Yu? A subordinate of Jonin Namikaze Minato?"

The Konoha ninja in charge of receiving them seemed to remember something: "Your father's mission contributions can be exchanged for two C-rank ninjutsu, but he's still a little short of B-rank ninjutsu. However, Jonin Namikaze came by a few days ago and said that if you come to exchange for ninjutsu, it can be deducted from his mission contribution."

"?"

Yu Mikami paused slightly, somewhat surprised.

But then...

Even more unexpected things happened:

[Introduced by your father and teacher, you arrived at the marriage agency located in the center of the village. The staff there warmly welcomed you and told you that your father and teacher had already registered you and had initially selected a simple and honest girl named "Dragonfire Technique."]

Please decide whether to contact her: Yes/No

Alternatively, you can choose other potential partners from the matchmaking agency's list: ___

Chapter 80 Phoenix Fire: Dragon, a symbol of emperors!

"What the hell is this 'matchmaking agency'..."

Yu Mikami's lips twitched, and he was speechless for a moment.

But upon closer examination, it does make sense—

When Hiruzen Sarutobi threw out a bunch of ninjutsu for him to choose from, the "Ghost System" interpreted it as introducing him to potential partners; so now, this place specifically for exchanging ninjutsu is naturally Konoha's "marriage agency," and Mikami Tajima's contribution points are his "membership fee"...

Hmm... Following this logic, wouldn't Minato Namikaze and the Legendary Sannin, who have the most extensive mission experience, as well as Kakashi after he grew up, be the VIPs here?

No wonder four out of these five are still single; they're all busy playing around with ninjutsu...

Now,

Instead of speaking immediately, Mikami Yu turned to the matchmaking agency... cough cough, the ninja in the mission hall, to ask about the "list" of ninjutsu he could currently exchange for.

"Dragon Fire Technique: C-rank Fire Release, hand seals: Snake-Dragon-Rabbit-Tiger, can release a straight-line fire attack, and is even more effective when used with steel wire..."

"Flame Bullet: C-rank Fire Release, can convert chakra into flammable oil and then spray it into flames..."

"Plain Burning Technique: C-Rank Fire Release..."

"Great Flame Technique: C-Rank Fire Release..."

"Flame Meteor: C-rank Fire Release..."

"Great Dragon Fire Technique: Rank B Fire Release..."

It seems that although there are almost no ninjas known for their fire-style techniques among the successive Hokage, Konoha, as the ninja village of the "Land of Fire," still has a rich reserve of fire-style techniques. However, there are not many truly high-level ninjutsu; let alone "Dragon Flame Song," they don't even have "Fire Dragon Flame Bullet."

It seems that this exchange method is mainly aimed at ordinary junior ninjas, while the real top-level ninjutsu are mostly passed down through family and master-disciple relationships.

After careful consideration, Mikami Yu ultimately decided to change the two ninjutsu he had originally planned.

soon.

Two brand-new scrolls have arrived:

[Ding! High-quality potential target detected: "Dragonfire Technique," triggering a limited-time encounter quest!]

[Ding! Gift detected - Limited Skin: Great Fireball Technique/Dragon Fire Technique: Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!]

The "Dragon Fire Technique" is an old acquaintance.

Yu Mikami had "met" Hiruzen Sarutobi once before, but at that time he chose Housenka over her.
