Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

The other person was tall and thin, dressed in ordinary gray clothing, with an animal-patterned mask covering his face, revealing only two cold eyes. He held an ordinary standard kunai in his hand and hissed, "As expected of Minato Namikaze's disciple, your reaction is just as fast as his."

"……Who are you?"

Mikami Yu gripped his short sword tightly, frowning.

Yu Mikami originally thought that the attackers were from Root.

After all, he had seen this kind of animal mask many times in anime in his previous life.

but……

The opponent's strength seems a bit too much.

Being able to use both Wind Release and Water Release simultaneously, and possessing exceptional skill in both techniques, already puts him at the level of a regular Jonin. Furthermore, his opponent's taijutsu and strength are also incredibly formidable, creating pressure almost comparable to that of Minato Namikaze.

Of course, Minato Namikaze did not go all out when sparring with him.

But this guy in front of me...

Mikami Yu felt that he didn't seem to be using his full strength either.

How could there be such a master within Danzo's inner circle?

Or……

"Want to know who I am? Then you'll have to see what you're capable of."

The masked man spoke again and took a step.

"...Water clone!"

Yu took a deep breath and quickly formed hand seals to release more than a dozen lifelike water clones to protect his main body in the middle. Because he was next to a waterfall with dense water vapor, these water clones did not consume too much of his chakra. Then he took out a smoke bomb from his ninja tool pouch and pulled the trigger.

This item was leftover from a previous mission. Normally, it shouldn't be used within the village. However, logically speaking, Mikami Yu shouldn't know about the Root's existence, so it's reasonable for him to mistake the other party for a "suspicious person suspected of being a spy from another village."

Almost at the same time that Mikami Yu finished performing those two movements,

The masked man had already reached them, his figure like a gray lightning bolt, piercing straight into the barrier formed by the water clones! The kunai in his hand turned into afterimages, and with just a few simple thrusts, three water clones were instantly shattered, turning into large splashes of water.

The three layers of the "The Army Will Surely Win" buff are stacked.

Watching the masked man wield his sword, each strike creating a water clone, as if he were in an empty field,

Without waiting for the buff to continue stacking, Mikami Yu seized the opportunity and lunged forward, his blade flashing like a bolt of lightning, piercing straight into the masked man's ribcage!

"Oh? So this is the real body?"

The masked man sneered, ignoring the other water clones, and headed straight for Mikami Yu's main body.

next moment……

hum!

An invisible wave seemed to suddenly spread out from Mikami Yu! Within a radius of approximately 2.2 meters, the airflow seemed to slow down, and blurry, pale white dotted lines appeared, catching Mikami Yu's eye—

【Special Feature: Heart Blade Domain: You have a deep understanding of the principles of "Hatake Sword Technique" and can create a "Heart Blade Domain" within a 2.2-meter radius around yourself. Within this domain, you have a superhuman grasp of the distance, angle, and obstacles between yourself and your target, allowing you to anticipate most of your opponent's attack trajectories and see through their weaknesses.】

That's right!

The first stage of the "Hatake Sword Technique" has been unlocked!

It is this ability called "Heart Blade Domain"!

Almost the instant the domain unfolded,

The masked man's movement trajectory, the signs of muscle exertion, the angle of weapon swing... all of these clearly flooded into Mikami Yu's mind, making him feel as if he could see through all the masked man's possible next moves!

Although this insight only appears at the sensory level and does not give Mikami Yu's body the corresponding acceleration or automatic rebound ability, he can defend and counterattack along those pale white dotted lines, which are the "weak points"!

This is the true meaning of anticipating the enemy's moves!

It was also during his previous sparring session with Shisui that he was taught the "Hatake Sword Technique"!

Ding ding ding ding—!

The chilling clang of metal striking metal erupted in an instant, like a sudden downpour striking a jade plate!

With the enhancement of the "Heart Blade Domain," Mikami Yu's swordsmanship reached the pinnacle of speed and precision! Each strike was executed with the most ingenious countermeasures, whether parrying or counterattacking. In a mere moment, he fought the masked man with incredible speed, managing to dismantle nearly a hundred of his attacks!

The flashes of swords and the afterimages of kunai have already intertwined into a silvery net of light!

however……

Something's not right!

Something's 90% off!

The white dotted lines within the "Heart Blade Domain"... which are this guy's weaknesses, how come there are so few of them?

Compared to him, Kakashi, who currently focuses on swordsmanship, is riddled with flaws. But Kakashi is already considered an elite Chunin. If someone could completely overwhelm him in swordsmanship, which he's honed for many years, while also being more proficient in elemental elemental techniques… what kind of strength is that?

Elite Jonin? Or...?

suddenly.

Yu Mikami seized an opportunity, his blade bursting with astonishing speed, instantly passing through the masked man's open doorway and slashing towards his neck.

Seeing that it was too late to defend or dodge, the masked man's neck twisted and bent, retracting backward like a snake, just missing the blade.

"?!!"

The next moment, the masked man's kunai also reached Mikami Yu's chest, but he used the "Substitute Technique" to switch places with a water clone and barely dodged it.

"...Orochimaru?!"

Yu Mikami called out that name.

This time, the masked man finally stopped moving.

When he spoke again, his voice had returned to that familiar, cold, and hoarse tone: "Heh... you were actually recognized?"

Chapter 90 Orochimaru's Invitation, A Half-Day Trip with the Security Forces (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

The mask is removed, and the transformation is canceled.

Orochimaru, his face pale, appeared before Mikami Yu. The sinister aura emanating from him, like that of a venomous snake, made Mikami Yu gasp for breath and his heart race.

"I was planning to play a little longer, but... let's call it a day for now. Mikami-kun, you have more ninja talent than I imagined."

Orochimaru licked his lips and said in a chilling tone.

"...Thank you for the compliment, Lord Orochimaru. I am unworthy of it."

Yu Mikami suppressed his shock and responded politely.

It was Orochimaru...

That's not surprising, that's not surprising at all.

At this time, Orochimaru was not yet the one who was a one-sided student whose strengths were completely countered by the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He is currently in his thirties or forties, in the prime of his life. A few years ago, he made great contributions in the Second Shinobi World War. He hadn't even had time to play with the "Cursed Seal" and "Reanimation Jutsu" yet, which would have messed up his soul. He is a true Kage-level powerhouse in every aspect.

Even Jiraiya now might not be his match.

Therefore, it was only natural that I was suppressed throughout the entire process.

but……

What exactly is this guy trying to do?

"Well, it seems you have a lot of questions for me, but this isn't the place to discuss them in detail, because someone is coming soon because of your signal flare."

Orochimaru licked his lips and said calmly, "I can only tell you that the owner of this mask is someone else, the one who is truly targeting you. I just happened to be passing by and am using his identity to play with you. If you want to know more about the truth..."

"Then come to the research institute to find me. I'll be waiting for you there."

With that, Orochimaru's figure disappeared into the earth without a trace.

After a while.

Several figures dressed in dark green ninja vests with ping-pong paddles embroidered on their arms rushed over from the other side of the forest and landed next to Mikami Yu: "What happened? What was that signal flare just now?"

"..."

……

After half an hour.

Yu Mikami walked out of the Konoha Police Department building.

Yes, that's right. The people who rushed over after seeing the signal flare were all members of the security force, specifically members of the Uchiha clan. Incidents within Konoha Village theoretically fall under their jurisdiction, and since Mikami Yu's training location is near the Naka River, they were the first to arrive.

Although Mikami Yu explained the incident in a roundabout way, saying that the signal flare was "accidentally triggered," several Uchiha still took him to the security building, questioned him carefully for a long time, and took a statement.

Yu Mikami was also speechless about this.

After all, he couldn't really shift the blame to Orochimaru, otherwise it would be like "Who dares to accuse me?" He could only admit that it was his own mistake.

Fortunately, his resume was outstanding—he graduated first in his class from the Ninja Academy, was personally taught ninjutsu by Hiruzen Sarutobi, studied under Minato Namikaze, was highly regarded by Tsunade, had Obito as a teammate, and his father had even shed blood for Konoha... He was definitely a model citizen, a true Konoha whiz.

So in the end, they only gave a symbolic reprimand and a lecture.

After the process is completed,

Fugaku Uchiha, who is currently serving as a squad leader in the security forces, personally escorted Yu Mikami out: "Ahem, Genin Mikami, it was just for work purposes just now, don't mind it. Actually, Minato and I are friends, and we often eat together."

"...So you are Uncle Fugaku. I've often heard Minato mention you, saying that you are one of the best Fire Release masters in Konoha."

Yu Mikami immediately launched into commercial hype.

Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback: "Minato... he really said that about me?"

"Of course, Minato-sensei greatly admires you."

Everyone carries the flowery sedan chair.

Anyway, it's impossible for Fugaku Uchiha to actually go to Minato Namikaze to verify everything, and their relationship should indeed be okay, so there's nothing wrong with what Yu Mikami said.

Fugaku Uchiha was in high spirits: "Hey, it's all just empty titles. With the Third Hokage and Jiraiya, and so many other seniors around, how could I be considered a master... But I seem to recall Minato saying that you have a lot of talent in Fire Release and swordsmanship?"

"Ok?"

Mikami Yu hesitated slightly.

Fugaku Uchiha then said, “Perfect timing. Our Uchiha clan also specializes in these two areas. We happen to have a few children in the clan who are about your age. You can have a friendly spar and see how well Minato’s disciples are doing.”

"I dare not. It should be me asking the sons of noblemen to generously offer their guidance."

Yu Mikami said.

"Haha, you're really good with words, much better than Obito."

Fugaku Uchiha was probably just being polite at first, but after a few words, he found Yu Mikami more and more agreeable, and his tone became more sincere: "You and Obito are teammates, so you can come and visit the Uchiha clan more often. I'm usually at the clan on weekends, so I can ask those kids for you."

"Then thank you very much, Uncle Fugaku."

After leaving the security building.

Yu Mikami stopped on the street in Konoha Village, looked up at the sun in the sky for a while, then sighed and turned to walk towards the Konoha Research Institute.

He had now roughly figured out what had happened today.

But I still have to go to Orochimaru's place.

After all, normally, Yu Mikami shouldn't know the so-called "truth".

Thinking about it...

With Tsunade and Minato Namikaze backing him up, Orochimaru probably wouldn't dare to do anything that crosses the line with him... right?
