Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Near a sentry post in the northeast direction outside the outskirts of Oborozuki City.

Several figures crept up stealthily.

"Minato-sensei, is this the base to the southeast? Could it have already been breached by Sunagakure?"

Obito asked in a low voice.

Chapter 116 Minato Namikaze: We Will Win (Third Update)

"Yes, that's possible. Be vigilant and watch your surroundings; you could encounter enemies at any time."

Minato Namikaze raised his hand to signal the team to halt, then crouched down, touched the bottom with two fingers, closed his eyes, and concentrated. His powerful senses, like invisible ripples, swept across the outpost ahead and the surrounding area.

—This ability was also used by Tobirama Senju, and it is a necessary prerequisite for "Flying Thunder God Technique". The strength of this ability determines the distance of a single teleportation by "Flying Thunder God Technique".

Yu Mikami and Kakashi have also been training in this area recently, but due to their limited proficiency and the fact that their innate talent is not as strong as Minato Namikaze's, they are not yet able to reach the same level as the former.

After a while.

Minato Namikaze opened his eyes, a hint of relief in his blue pupils: "It's alright, the people inside the outpost are from Konoha, and they should be acquaintances of ours... Let's go take a look."

A few minutes later.

Mikami Yu and his group met the "acquaintance" inside the low defensive wall surrounding the outpost.

—It was Inuzuka Tsurugi, whom I had met once before.

Six months later, this person's demeanor appeared more upright and capable than before, and his chakra aura was also much stronger than before. However, he had several new and old scars on his face, as if he had experienced many fierce battles during this period.

"Hey, Minato, you're here fast."

"And you kids, it's nice to see you again. You've grown quite a bit taller. I heard you defeated the Sand Village's genius, Pakura, a while ago. You're quite capable."

Inuzuka Tsuru greeted Mikami Yu and the others cheerfully.

Beside them, the big dog Heiwan barked a few times and wagged its tail, seemingly to express its welcome.

"It's mainly thanks to Yu."

Kakashi said.

Yu Mikami then humbly remarked that it was all thanks to everyone's cooperation.

"Heh, I feel like you've said this before, back when you were chasing down the spy from the Land of Rain, right?"

Inuzuka Tsuru stroked his chin and teased, then gestured, "Don't just stand there like an idiot, let's go inside first."

soon.

The group entered the outpost.

It wasn't noticeable from the outside, but now that he's inside, Yu Mikami realizes that there are quite a few people in this building made of rocks and logs, probably more than a dozen.

Besides the two squads that Inuzuka Tsuru had brought earlier, totaling about seven or eight people, there were four or five wounded soldiers lying or sitting around, all wrapped in blood-soaked bandages and looking exhausted.

"They are all wounded soldiers who were scattered when Longyue City fell. We found them one after another in the past two days, learned some information from them, and temporarily settled them here. Unfortunately, we have limited medical supplies and can only provide the most basic treatment."

Inuzuka Tsuru explained.

"Is that so... Yu, Rin!"

Minato Namikaze looked at Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara.

The two understood immediately and went over to begin the rescue work.

Since starting patrol and reconnaissance missions, Yu Mikami's progress in mastering "healing techniques" has stagnated because there aren't many wounded soldiers for him to practice on. Now, he has unexpectedly found an opportunity to continue grinding missions here, which is quite a pleasant surprise.

the other side.

Inuzuka Tsurugi, along with Namikaze Minato, Kakashi, and Obito, walked to the stone table inside the outpost and looked at the simple map on it: "The current situation is this: the Oborozuki Castle outpost has indeed been lost, taken down by an elite Sunagakure unit in collusion with spies."

"The number of Sand Ninja currently stationed in the city is unknown, but it is certainly not small, at least twenty or thirty people. In addition, the watchtowers outside Oborozuki Castle have also fallen into the hands of the Sand Ninja. Each watchtower has one or two small teams, possibly equipped with puppets or traps."

"……Understood."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "In other words, if we want to reclaim Oborozuki Castle, we must first remove these thorns in our side. Otherwise, even if we manage to infiltrate the vicinity of Oborozuki Castle, we will be attacked from both sides, right?"

That's right.

Inuzuka Tsuru nodded: "However, my personal suggestion is to wait for Jiraiya-sama's response before making a decision. After all, although we have three squads now, we still have too few people to take care of the wounded and deal with possible sneak attacks."

"It's alright."

Minato Namikaze smiled gently: "Yu and Kakashi have both fought against Jonin, and I will also take action. As long as we act quickly enough, we should be able to take down these strongholds before all the Sand Ninja gather."

Actually, even if all the Sand Village forces were to gather, it wouldn't be a problem.

After all, Minato Namikaze is currently developing the "Spiral Flash Super Dance Roar Third Style." Even though the technique isn't fully complete yet, dealing with a group of ordinary Chunin and Jonin will be a piece of cake; he can simply crush them. The most they can do is run away.

However, Minato Namikaze is still quite modest and doesn't want to do all the work by himself. He also wants to use this operation to give Yu Mikami and the others some experience, so he needs to hold back a bit.

After some discussion.

The two leaders have devised a strategy.

“Claw, the southwest stronghold is quite far away and heavily guarded, so I’ll take over it. You guys, along with Yu and Kakashi, will handle the northwest and northeast. Leave two or three more here to take care of the wounded, and that should be enough.”

Minato Namikaze said.

Inuzuka Tsuru hesitated for a moment: "I'm fine with it, but what about Yu and the others? After all, they have the advantage of terrain, and Yu and the others are still a bit too young..."

"It's okay, I believe in them. They will win."

Minato Namikaze smiled.

"..."

Mikami Yu, who was bandaging the wounded, glanced over there, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

Although Minato Namikaze is not a white-haired man.

But what the other person said gave him a sense of déjà vu—

It's as if we're fast-forwarding to "I'm sorry I couldn't satisfy Lord Uchiha Madara"...

That night, Yu Mikami and the others rested briefly at the base.

Although the accommodations here weren't great, they were still better than sleeping in the open. Plus, with the people from Inuzuka Tsuru there, Mikami Yu and the others didn't need to take turns keeping watch anymore. So they managed to get a good night's sleep and woke up feeling refreshed the next day.

Inuzuka Tsurugi had already led a group out to scout ahead of time.

At the outpost, most of the patients who had been lying motionless the day before had shown significant improvement after being treated by Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin. People warmly greeted and thanked the two of them.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, this is our duty."

Yu Mikami responded with a smile, and then checked each of their injuries again.

Chapter 117 The Characteristics of Superhuman Strength: A Gamble and a Stronghold Raid (Two-in-One)

Speaking of which, Yu Mikami is now actually able to use "Palm Healing Technique".

Because in the weeks since he left Konoha, he had secretly fed the "Healing Technique" scroll that he had copied to the "Healing Technique," unlocking this A-rank medical ninjutsu.

However, out of consideration for concealing his "talent," Yu Mikami plans to continue using his original skin.

Although it's the original skin, because the "Healing Spell" has a high enough affinity with Mikami Yu, it will occasionally lend a hand by casting a free "Healing Spell" or providing some treatment advice. As a result, the wounded who are treated by Mikami Yu recover much faster than others.

Two ninjas whose injuries were already relatively minor stood up, wanting to participate in the battle to retake the stronghold.

"No need."

Minato Namikaze smiled and gently advised, "You were injured for Konoha before, and now that you've just recovered, why don't you stay and help take care of the other wounded? If we retake the base, we'll need someone to guard it, and then you can go back."

"……OK then."

Since the Jonin had spoken, the wounded could only sit back down dejectedly and prepare to do some rehabilitation exercises first.

Meanwhile, Yu Mikami and the others arrived at the courtyard outside the watchtower and began their routine training.

Although we have arrived at the front lines, training is still necessary; mere combat cannot replace regular training.

However, due to the different environment, the training intensity for Mikami Yu and the others was lower than when they were in Konoha Village. They usually stopped training when their chakra was depleted by about 30% to avoid encountering unexpected situations when they were exhausted. But now that Minato Namikaze and the others were there, they could train a little longer.

Minato Namikaze stood by and watched, offering some guidance to the group, especially to Obito and Rin Nohara, whose strength was currently below average.

period,

Yu Mikami took some time to play two rounds with "Super Strength Technique".

Luckily, I triggered a critical hit in affinity, allowing "Super Strength" to smoothly enter the "Intimate" stage and unlock the long-awaited trait:

[Super Strength Skill Affection +2! Current Affection: 25/100 (Intimacy)]

(Stage Rewards: Constitution +1, Trait: Gambler: When using Super Strength Technique, you can inject an additional 5% of your chakra as a dice roll, triggering different buffs based on the roll result: ① Idle Spin - 40% chance (no buff), ② Small Win - 30% chance (adds 75% damage); ③ Double Up - 20% chance (adds 125% damage, with critical hit effect), ④ All-Out Attack - 10% chance (adds 225% damage, with critical hit, penetration, and splash effects))

"Well……"

This feature...

Why does this feel a bit abstract?

Mikami Yu pondered deeply.

In fact, the "Super Strength Technique" is somewhat similar to Water Release; both are skills with a mediocre lower limit and an extremely high upper limit. In the hands of a master like Senju or Uzumaki, it can unleash extraordinary destructive power with a mere wave of the hand, making them a physical "One-Punch Man."

However, ordinary people need to be careful when using it. If they attack blindly and throw a bunch of punches, whether the opponent falls or not is another matter, but their own chakra may be almost exhausted.

Therefore,

Back in Konoha, Tsunade advised Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara not to use more than 5% of their chakra each time they practiced "Super Strength Technique." This way, even if they missed a punch or two, it wouldn't affect their overall combat power. They could try increasing the amount once they could control it precisely.

The two of them had been practicing strictly according to this ratio.

And now...

"Using twice the chakra consumption each time, risking a 40% chance of being wasted, to gamble on a 10% chance of 'all-out kill'... No, isn't this a complete trap?"

Would anyone be foolish enough to play this kind of betting game?

Just as Mikami Yu was thinking this,

A certain "big fool"... cough cough, I should say a "big fat sheep" jumped out on his own initiative:

[Superpower Technique: What trap? Gambling is like this! Winning and losing is normal, isn't it? If you throw out a "win-win" bet, you can get a 225% increase—you'll make a fortune! Trust me, take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!]

"I don't believe you for a second. Don't you know how badly you lose when you play card and board games?"

Yuu Mikami was speechless for a moment.

Ok.

To be fair, the trait of "gambling recklessly" actually fits the character setting of "superhuman strength".

But in Yu Mikami's opinion, you get what you pay for.

—No wonder the "Super Strength" skill increased favorability so quickly...

present.

Yu Mikami decided to look for an opportunity to try out [Gambling Frenzy] a few times in actual combat to see how likely these buffs would actually trigger.

If he turns out to be a hidden lucky player, then we can continue using him; otherwise, we can only put him away for now and see if the trigger probability of these buffs will change when he advances to the second stage after reaching 50 favorability.

Fortunately, this feature is an active skill, so you can choose not to use it.

Furthermore, increasing favorability has a positive effect on skill proficiency. Therefore, even without using [Gambling Frenzy], it doesn't prevent Mikami Yu from practicing "Super Strength" normally.

He planned to try incorporating the techniques of superhuman strength into the "Hatake Sword Technique" to see if he could further enhance its power.

Later, once the "Neural Activation" trait is unlocked, it can be added as well, provided that the "Neural Activation" trait doesn't turn out to be a trap like "Super Strength"...

……

Time quickly passed and evening arrived.

It's a cloudy day today, and the starlight is dim.

After checking their ninja tools one last time, the group stepped out of the watchtower gate and headed towards Oborozuki Castle, intending to take down their sentry posts under cover of night.

Minato Namikaze, naturally, went alone to the farthest southwest watchtower.

Meanwhile, Yu Mikami and his group followed the Inuzuka Claw squad northwards to the other side of Oborozuki Castle.

"The northeast watchtower is just ahead."
