Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

After all, there were simply too many of them on the other side—thirty against five. That meant each of Mikami Yu and his companions would have to fight six Sand Ninja, which was a daunting prospect. Even Kakashi didn't think he could win with such a numerical disadvantage.

Only Mikami Yu remained calm, showing no sign of panic—of course, he was just surrounded; with "Golden Flash" around, what was there to be afraid of?

Unless the other side deploys multiple Kage-level fighters, Jinchuriki, or Madara Uchiha causing trouble behind the scenes, even in the worst-case scenario, Minato Namikaze could at least cover their escape.

present.

Mikami Yu's gaze swept around the crowd before finally settling on the person directly in front of him.

There, in the darkest part of the shadows, two figures slowly stepped out.

The elderly woman at the head of the group had gray hair and a face etched with the marks of time, but her eyes were as sharp as poisoned steel needles. She was none other than Chiyo, an elder of Sunagakure and a master of puppetry and poison techniques! The oppressive aura emanating from her was far beyond that of the others.

Half a step behind her, Yekura, with short orange hair and a pretty face, stood quietly, her gaze fixed on Mikami Yu as if she were locking onto her prey.

at this time.

Minato Namikaze subtly moved half a step, better protecting Yu Mikami and the others behind him, then spoke loudly: "So it's Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure, quite a grand display. It seems you've managed to intercept our village's force, haven't you?"

"Hmph, 'Golden Flash' is quite perceptive."

Chiyo's lips curled into a cold smile as she slowly spoke, "Unfortunately, you realize this a little too late. That group has already been intercepted by my Sand Village ninjas, and they're probably barely able to protect themselves, let alone come to your aid."

"So, please, all of you, rest in peace on these mountains. Especially you..."

"Hatake Yu!"

As she spoke, Chiyo's gaze passed over Minato Namikaze and landed on Yu Mikami, her deep-seated hatred almost bursting forth! In comparison, even Kakashi was temporarily ignored.

"what?"

Mikami Yu was taken aback.

Kakashi and Obito were also taken aback. The latter subconsciously turned his head to look at them and shouted, "Yu, when did you secretly change your name? You didn't even tell us! By the way, why Hatake? Wouldn't it be better to say Uchiha Yu or Nohara Yu?"

"...Are you an idiot?"

Yu Mikami's lips twitched slightly, somewhat speechless.

He roughly understood what Chiyo meant—indeed, he, like Kakashi and Sakumo Hatake, had white hair; they all used "Hatake swordsmanship"; and, in the eyes of Sunagakure who were unaware of the inside story, it was indeed easy to mistake his identity.

but……

It was actually Chiyo who personally led the team to kill him?

Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?

Chapter 123 Mikami Yu: Yekura, let's talk in private! (Two chapters combined)

Minato Namikaze also realized what was going on.

"So it's because of Sakumo-senpai..."

Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law are both Jonin of Sunagakure and skilled puppeteers who caused Konoha considerable trouble during the last Shinobi World War. Therefore, Minato Namikaze could emotionally understand Chiyo's desire for revenge.

but……

In the context of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the enemy's hero is my enemy, and such a thing is inevitable.

Since Chiyo has come with such a large force, she must be determined to kill them, and she cannot simply send them away with a question like "Can we make peace?"

So Minato Namikaze could only sigh softly, glancing at the tense Sand Ninja around him, and spoke in a calm tone, as if chatting during a walk: "Kakashi, if you had to choose one of these people to fight, which one would you choose?"

"Except for that ninja named Yekura."

"?"

Kakashi was taken aback.

Selecting people? What does that mean?

Although he was a little confused about what was going on, he still glanced across at Minato Namikaze in response to his question. His gaze lingered on Chiyo for a few seconds before shifting to another middle-aged man next to him, who was controlling a dual-wielding puppet and had a snake tattoo on his face.

"That puppeteer seems pretty strong."

Minato Namikaze nodded and then asked, "Obito, what about you?"

"Ah I?"

Obito casually remarked, "That guy with the scar on his face who bared his teeth at me! I really want to beat him up!"

Where is Lin?

"As for me... that female ninja."

"Nohara Rin said in a low voice."

The master and his disciples did not deliberately avoid others when they were talking, and the Sand Village on the other side heard them.

Chiyo frowned slightly and said sarcastically, "Namikaze Minato, is this your dying wish? Is your last wish that these people designated by your disciples kill them? That's not impossible, except for those two Hatake family heirs."

"Hahaha."

Several Sand Ninja let out a sneer, a hint of mockery mixed into their tense killing intent.

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "Sorry, the situation may not be as you imagine."

As he spoke,

Minato Namikaze reached into his bulging ninja tool pouch at his waist with his right hand, then suddenly flung it out, scattering specially made three-pronged kunai in all directions like a shower of petals! Even the area behind Yu Mikami and the others was hit by several kunai—

"Flying Thunder God Kunai!"

The Sand Ninja initially thought Minato Namikaze was going to attack them with grappling hooks, and some of them quickly grabbed kunai to try and defend themselves.

But soon they discovered that most of these kunai were not aimed at the crowd, but at the gaps between them, and some were even being thrown at the surrounding tree trunks, rocks, and open spaces, with no accuracy whatsoever, leaving them completely baffled.

What does this mean?

Could it be that they realize they have no hope of escaping and have started to give up?

Only Chiyo, with her seasoned experience, instinctively sensed something amiss from Minato Namikaze's actions and immediately shouted, "Attack! Kill them!"

however……

It's too late.

Because Minato Namikaze had already completed his opening stance.

As dozens of kunai filled an area of ​​several dozen meters around him, Minato Namikaze moved—

At that moment, time seemed to be slowed down and then accelerated to its limit in an instant! Minato Namikaze's figure suddenly blurred and disappeared from the spot, and then, at a speed beyond the limits of the naked eye, he frantically jumped and flashed between the positions where kunai were nailed!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

This is true extreme speed.

From an outsider's perspective, Minato Namikaze's figure had already disappeared midway, leaving only streaks of golden light that simultaneously bloomed in dozens of locations around him, forming a golden storm! The encirclement of twenty or thirty Sand Ninja was instantly torn apart by this violent golden storm!

puff!puff!puff!

Blood splattered everywhere!

The muffled sounds of sharp instruments cutting through flesh and severing throats quickly blended into a chilling and eerie symphony!

"Ugh—!"

"my hand!"

"Quick, stop him!! He's coming..."

Accompanied by short, desperate screams, these Sand Ninja, who were so murderous just a moment ago, collapsed backward like stalks of wheat swept by a scythe, clutching their bleeding necks or chests, their faces filled with disbelief and terror!

A few who reacted quickly enough and managed to dodge or block in the first moment, and who were not slit in the throat, all felt an immense force slam into their wrists or sides, and were kicked away like broken sacks, crashing into their companions and rolling around in a heap!

"...Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Three Styles!"

Only then did Minato Namikaze finish shouting the name of his technique.

No sooner said than done.

The appearance and disappearance of the golden storm happened in the blink of an eye. Just a second or two later, Minato Namikaze returned to his original spot, standing calmly among Yu Mikami and the others, as if he had never left.

but……

The surroundings had become deathly silent.

The once impenetrable encirclement was now filled with only cold, stiff corpses and a few wounded writhing and screaming. The pungent stench of blood overwhelmed the freshness of the grass and trees.

Only a handful of people were still standing: Chiyo, Yekura, the three targets Kakashi and the others had just identified, and one or two lucky ones who hadn't kept up with the charge because they were standing too far away.

"……what!"

Obito and Rin Nohara were completely stunned, their brains practically shutting down on the spot, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg: "W-what just happened? Did Minato-sensei do that? How did he do that?"

Although they all knew that Minato Namikaze could use the "Flying Thunder God Technique," they had only seen him use it to travel, and when he used it to defend himself, it was only used repeatedly. They never imagined that this space-time ninjutsu could be used to this extent.

Twenty-five kills in one second?! That's outrageous!

opposite.

Chiyo's face also showed shock, her aged pupils contracted sharply as she stared intently at Minato Namikaze, as if she were seeing this blond young man for the first time.

This is the "Golden Flash"?! So powerful?!

Didn't the intelligence report say that "Flying Thunder God" is an upgraded version of the Body Flicker Technique?

Well... in fact, Minato Namikaze didn't really display any advanced combat techniques just now. It was just simple teleportation to get close, slit the throat, get close again, slit the throat again... at most, he added some Wind Release ninjutsu.

But even such a simple combo, with the support of extreme speed, fully demonstrates what it means to be "the most powerful martial art in the world is speed".

Among those killed were several Jonin from Sunagakure, but they couldn't even last a second longer. They didn't even have time to unleash their ninjutsu or demonstrate their full strength before being killed.

Even Chiyo couldn't see Minato Namikaze's movements clearly, only vaguely discerning a few trajectories, and had no time to stop him!

at this time.

Minato Namikaze exhaled a breath of stale air, as if he had only done something insignificant, his gentle smile undiminished: "Alright, Yu, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, if you've chosen your opponents, we can begin."

"!!"

At this moment, Kakashi and Obito belatedly realized why Minato Namikaze had suddenly asked them who they wanted to fight one-on-one... So that's why.

Only Mikami Yu, because he was mentally prepared beforehand, remained relatively calm... What the hell! Can anyone really react that fast? Haki Minato, you bastard...

Is it really human?

And this "ordering food" style of selecting and retaining characters is just too humiliating. Don't the Sand Village have any dignity?

but,

Now that Minato Namikaze has already set up the platform, there's not much more to say.

Mikami Yu's gaze locked onto Yekura, who was still not completely recovered from the shock. He stomped his heel and shot out like a bowstring, disappearing from the spot—[Substitution Jutsu: Imitation World Instant Cast]!

"?!"

Chiyo's eyelids twitched: Wait, another Flying Thunder God Technique?!

However, this "Flying Thunder God" wasn't that fast. Chiyo, upon realizing the situation, immediately called out Yekura's name and manipulated the puppets "Crow" and "Black Ant" in front of her to pounce on Mikami Yu, but was instead blasted away by Namikaze Minato with a flash and the release of Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.

"Go, Yu, leave this to me! I'm sorry, Elder Chiyo, but I am your opponent!"

"Thank you...please speak with me in private, Ye Cang!"

Mikami Yu exhaled and made a sound, slightly adjusting her position in mid-air. Then, from the right side of her standing position, she raised her arm like a bow and swung out a simple straight punch!

"Super Strength Technique: Basic Crushing Fist!"

"……What?!"

Ye Cang's pupils suddenly contracted, and she felt a strong sense of crisis. She didn't have time to use her Blazing Escape technique. Without thinking, she crossed her arms to protect her chest and retreated backward with all her might!

Boom-!

A dull thud rang out!

Mikami Yu's punch, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, slammed heavily into Yekura's crossed arms in defense!

The latter felt an immense force strike her, as if it would shatter all the bones in her arms. She groaned, partly to absorb the force, and partly because she truly couldn't withstand the violent impact. Her feet left the ground, and she flew backward into the dense forest!

Mikami Yu pushed off with his feet and chased after her, taking advantage of Yekura's inability to dodge, and then delivered several more punches!

The two figures quickly left the area where the "encirclement" was located and headed to another battlefield not far away.

This time it's a genuine "private conversation".
