Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

The ninjas started bickering again.

Yu Mikami pondered to himself: Judging from this, Orochimaru really has quite a few "limited edition skins".

Since "Snake Skin Hardening" is the skin of "Transformation Technique", then "Soft Body Modification" and "Face Removal Technique" should also be, and "Orochimaru-style Substitution Technique" is the skin of "Substitution Technique"... However, these techniques are all of high level, so they probably won't be easy to obtain.

But it doesn't matter.

To receive "snake limb hardening" on the very first day of work is already an unexpected surprise; whatever comes after that, I'll just have to let fate decide.

Soon, Yu Mikami tried out "snake limb hardening".

To put it simply, this thing is made by concentrating chakra in the arm or other limbs, hardening them, and using them for attack or defense. The hardening strength is similar to that of ordinary ninja tools, but it should not be as strong as a sword like the White Fang Short Sword, which is made of metal using chakra to conduct energy.

Speaking of which, I wonder how his "engraving knife" is doing now...

I also need to find time to visit Fugaku Uchiha and solidify our connections. Maybe I'll have a chance to learn some ninjutsu for free in the future.

……

On the weekend, as planned, Mikami Yu took two boxes of milk and went to the Uchiha clan's territory.

"...Eh? It's You."

Fugaku Uchiha was coming out of his house when he saw Yu Mikami. He was a little surprised, but quickly smiled and said, "Look at you, kid... You came all this way, but you brought so much stuff! Come in and have a seat."

"No need. I just wanted to thank you for what the garrison did last time. Since you have other matters to attend to, I'll head back now and visit you again when I have the chance."

As Mikami Yu said this, he glanced at Uchiha Mikoto, who came out behind Uchiha Fugaku, and the child she was holding in her arms.

Hmm... it should be Itachi Uchiha.

At this time, Itachi was probably less than a year old, and he neither cried nor laughed.

"This is my son, Itachi. Isn't he adorable?"

Fugaku Uchiha noticed Yu Mikami's gaze and said with a smile, "It's a pity he was born a little late. If he had been born two years earlier, he might already be in the Ninja Academy... But it's okay, it'll be the same in two years. Maybe he can graduate at the age of 5 like Kakashi, haha."

"..."

Graduating at age 5 is probably not an option.

However, it is possible for a child to go to war at the age of 5.

To be honest, Itachi Uchiha in the original story was indeed a character with a rather abstract thought process. But Fugaku Uchiha should bear half the blame for this. To come up with the idea of ​​sending his four- or five-year-old son to the battlefield half a century after the end of the Warring States period is truly astounding…

Seeing that the Uchiha Fugaku family seemed to be preparing to go out, Mikami Yu did not disturb them. After exchanging a few polite words, he made an excuse to leave and went to the training ground to play.

At this time.

An ANBU member wearing a tanuki mask appeared before Mikami Yu: "Genin Mikami Yu, Jonin Uzumaki Kushina wants to see you."

Chapter 93 Kushina Reappears, New Target: The Gloomy Landmine Girl? (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe!)

"Hmm? Kushina-senpai wanted to see me? Is it about the sword?"

Mikami Yu was slightly taken aback: "You only called me?"

"As instructed by Jonin Kushina, if Rin Nohara, Kakashi Hatake, and the others are present, they can come along, but it's not mandatory," the Anbu said.

"...Then let's invite Lin along."

Minato Namikaze isn't here, so we need to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

There's no need to call them Kakashi and Obito. Although we don't know if Kushina taught them sealing techniques in the original story, it's best to avoid letting Obito have frequent contact with her. Who knows if Kushina personally taught him the methods he used to release the Nine-Tails' seal…

Twenty minutes later.

Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara arrived at a secluded training ground in the west of the village. Kushina Uzumaki was already waiting there, her fiery red ponytail dazzling in the sunlight, and she was playing with a familiar short sword in her hand.

Not far away, one or two figures could be vaguely seen, hidden among the dense bushes. Judging from their appearance, they were probably members of the Anbu guarding the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Hey, you've finally arrived! Xiaolin's here too!"

Kushina jumped down from the wooden stake with a look of joy, hugged Nohara Rin, rubbed her cheek against her, and then straightened up, tossing the short sword to Mikami Yu, "Here, Yu, your sword has been modified."

Yu Mikami caught the sword steadily. It felt slightly heavy in his hand, and the handle was warm and smooth. It didn't look much different from before.

but,

When Mikami Yu followed Kushina's instructions and channeled chakra into the hilt of the sword, he saw fine black and red lines appear on the blade, resembling cracked porcelain.

Upon closer inspection, these patterns appear to be composed of countless tiny nested triangular structures, interlocking to form a series of chakra ring patterns that are connected end to end yet operate in a staggered manner, exuding an aura that is both precise and dangerous, as well as a strange beauty.

"This is the 'Double Binding Seal'."

Kushina, hands on her hips, explained with a smug look: "This short sword is made of chakra-conducting metal, so it's very easy to modify. Even if you don't know sealing techniques, you can activate the sealing formula I carved by injecting chakra into the hilt."

"An enemy wounded by this sword will have their chakra flow become sluggish for a very short time, and they won't be able to use ninjutsu or genjutsu easily!"

"Of course, if you really want to unleash the full power of this seal, you still need to study sealing techniques in depth. Otherwise, just activating it by injecting chakra will be less effective. At most, it will only interfere with the enemy's chakra flow and slow down their reaction. It will be difficult to directly imprison them."

"understood."

Yu Mikami nodded.

In other words, this sword is currently a simple, foolproof sealing tool; it can be activated as long as there is chakra. However, its other hidden functions require a deeper understanding to unlock.

present.

Kushina's mini-lesson is starting again.

The focus this time is on the "Sealing Seal".

According to Kushina, this seal requires nine hand gestures to be used correctly. It involves guiding chakra and precisely constructing a nested triangular array to form a rotating sealing ring. Even a slight deviation can significantly reduce its effectiveness, making it more difficult to learn than medical ninjutsu.

These are considered relatively simple sealing techniques. Techniques like the "Evil-Sealing Seal," the "Seal of Self-Karmic Binding," and even the "Four Symbols Seal" are much more complex, requiring memorization of more than a dozen different rune arrays.

Nohara Rin was a little confused, but she still tried her best to memorize and understand the densely intertwined rune lines.

Yuya Mikami is also concentrating intently, trying to keep up with Kushina's train of thought.

Suddenly, it dawned on me.

A familiar notification popped up in his field of vision—

[Ding! High-quality potential target detected: "Binding Seal"! Limited-time encounter quest triggered!]

"coming!"

Yu Mikami was greatly encouraged.

[You have unwittingly fallen into the depths of a cold, imprisoned cage. In the dim light, you see the figure of a red-haired girl. She is huddled in a corner, hugging her knees, wearing a long, inky black dress made of intricate runes. Her long hair covers most of her face, and her arms and ankles are bound by cold chains. Red marks are visible on her fair skin, and she exudes a gloomy aura that keeps strangers at bay.]

【dialogue】

[A: Hello, this is Yu Mikami. Sorry to bother you! Do you need any help?]

[B: Wow, what a beautiful chain! Wrap it around me!]

[C: Hey, lift your head up! I said lift your head up! Let me see your face!]

"It seems... this time the target is someone with a gloomy personality?"

It looks a bit like a water wall...

After a moment's thought, Mikami Yu cautiously chose A.

Her body trembled slightly, like a startled beast trapped in its cage. Then, she slowly lifted her face from her knees, revealing a pair of empty, lifeless, dark eyes that seemed like a stagnant pool of water.

[Sealing Seal: Help? Ha... another self-important fellow. I chained myself to isolate myself from that noisy world outside. You'd better stay put and don't bother me, or else... ha.]

"I go……"

With a gloomy personality, social withdrawal, and self-harm tendencies... she's clearly a landmine!

If you were to follow the strategy...

Will there be any problems?

Don't let the spell trigger on its own and seal him away...

"Hey, Yu? What are you spacing out for? Did you understand what I just said?"

Kushina's voice pulled Yu Mikami back to reality.

"Ah, sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Could you please repeat that for me, Kushina-senpai?"

Mikami Yu came to his senses and put his hands together in prayer.

Logically speaking, sealing techniques and landmine girls are quite compatible in terms of attributes, but winning over a "beautiful girl" with this kind of personality is really quite difficult. Mikami Yu plans to first investigate and take it slow.

That evening, Kushina treated Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara to a meal at Ichiraku Ramen.

Of course, they were followed and accompanied by secret agents throughout the entire process.

After all, this is Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and nothing can go wrong, especially since Minato Namikaze, this human stabilizer, is not in the village.

Yu Mikami took a moment to ask about Minato Namikaze's situation.

Kushina didn't seem to know much either, only that the other party had gone to carry out a high-level mission. However, according to the plot, Minato Namikaze still had at least three or four years to live, so there would be plenty of opportunities to interact with him in the future, and there was no need to worry about not having the chance to learn "Flying Thunder God Technique".

The meal is over.

Kushina seemed to remember something, and suddenly tilted her head, looking at Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin with interest: "By the way, Yu, Rin, I suddenly want to ask you a personal question... Are you two a couple?"

"...Huh???"

Chapter 94 Nohara Rin: This technique... can it harden any part of the body? (Fifth update, please subscribe!)

Mikami Yu was taken aback.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Nohara Rin blushed instantly: "Kushina-neechan, what are you saying! Couples... we're not couples yet!"

"Ha ha!"

Kushina laughed and waved her hand: "Don't take offense, I just asked because I often see you two together. You don't have to answer! But if you really meet someone you like, you must be bold and pursue them, otherwise you might regret it later!"

As she said this, Kushina raised her arm and made a fist-pumping gesture.

"Is...is that so..."

Nohara Rin glanced at Mikami Yu from behind, her eyes slightly evasive.

Yu Mikami coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed.

how to say……

Yu Mikami was somewhat aware of Rin Nohara's feelings.

Although in the original storyline the latter's love interest was Kakashi, in this timeline, he and Nohara Rin were childhood neighbors who grew up together, practically childhood friends. Moreover, his character modeling was quite good, making him very popular in the ninja academy. It's not surprising that Nohara Rin would "fall for someone else."

Yu Mikami also finds it difficult to dislike Rin Nohara, who has a gentle personality and a sensitive mind.

However, they are still quite young.

Even if children in the Naruto world are generally precocious, things like falling in love... shouldn't it be after they're at least ten years old?

Rather than all that, the top priority right now is to improve our strength and survive this protracted Ninja World War.

The two finally said goodbye at the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen.

Kushina went home, guided by the Anbu.

Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin walked side by side along the streets of Konoha Village.

By this time, it was already getting a little dark.

The moonlight cast a warm glow on the stone path.

Rin Nohara slowed her pace, her mind replaying Kushina's teasing words. Her gaze involuntarily drifted to the side, landing on the handsome profile of the boy beside her. A strange flutter and warmth welled up within her, as if a feather had gently tickled her heart.

"Yu-kun..."

"……Um?"

I heard Yu Mikami's voice.

Nohara Rin woke up instantly.

She didn't mind, as a girl, confessing her feelings to the person she liked. But... that kind of thing shouldn't happen at a time like this. There was no special occasion, no romantic atmosphere with flowers or moonlight, only the exhaustion after training and the lingering taste of ramen soup...

That's too casual!

Therefore,
