Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Clang—!

A cold, sharp blade of light, like a scythe of death tearing through the curtain of the explosion, pierced through the gaps in the still-lingering flames and smoke, pointing directly at Ye Cang!

The boy behind the flashing blade had his white hair slightly raised, the ends of which looked as if they were on fire, but his eyes remained cold, like a lone wolf on a snowy plain!

"Damn it..."

The instant their eyes met.

Yecang gritted his teeth, trying his best to control the remaining Scorching Release fireballs around him, attempting to defend and counterattack.

but……

"Overload pulse, activate!"

At this moment—or more precisely, before the "Substitute Technique" was activated, Mikami Yu had already used the characteristics of the "Neural Activation Technique".

As an electric shock-like sensation arose, a violent pulse suddenly formed within his body, instantly surging through his limbs and bones.

Under the influence of this pulse, Mikami Yu's muscle fibers tensed and contracted sharply, and his vision became extremely sharp in an instant. Even the trails of dust particles floating in the air, as well as every subtle expression and movement on Yohkura's body, became clearly visible! It was as if he had entered a slow-motion scene in a movie!

The whole world became incredibly clear.

then……

Whoosh—!

Just one cut!

The blade blurred halfway through its trajectory because the speed at which it was swung exceeded the limit of what the human retina could capture, causing it to temporarily disappear from sight for a moment.

In fact, it passed through the gap between the two high-speed spinning fireballs, tore through the air, and precisely sliced ​​into Yekura's left shoulder, almost ripping her left scapula open!

"Ugh!"

A sharp pain shot through me!

Blood splattered!

The moment the wound started bleeding, the "Sealing Seal" engraved on Mikami Yu's short sword took effect, invading Yekura's meridians like a venomous snake, causing her painstakingly maintained chakra flow to suddenly halt! Half of her body was instantly paralyzed!

—In fact, even without the sealing technique, such severe injuries would inevitably reduce Yecang's combat power significantly. And at this moment, her seemingly flawless Scorch Release defensive circle also paused for a moment.

So far,

The silver storm is now unstoppable!

Mikami Yu swung his sword, and the whistling blade light rained down on him like a storm!

Ye Cang barely managed to parry a few times. First, the kunai in his hand snapped in two with a "crack"! Then he was stabbed two or three times and cut in the abdomen by a palm. He flew backward and landed heavily on the ground!

"what!"

Upon landing, blood spurted from several parts of Ye Cang's body simultaneously. He felt as if his body had fallen apart, and a strong sense of dizziness surged into his mind.

That's the end of it.

Mikami Yu let out a soft breath and deactivated the "overload pulse".

Judging from the heart rate, only about 8 seconds had passed.

According to Mikami Yu's previous tests, the duration of "Overload Pulse" activation is inversely proportional to the strength of its side effects. "Overload" lasting less than 15 seconds does have side effects, but they are basically negligible, causing only a slight soreness in the body, which does not affect combat.

In theory, Yu Mikami could even activate the "overload pulse" again to complete the remaining 37 seconds.

However, doing so would have a more severe side effect, reducing his combat effectiveness by about 30% for the next few hours. Therefore, unless it's absolutely necessary to risk everything, it's generally not necessary to use up the entire 45-second "overload" time limit; using it only halfway is the most cost-effective.

present.

Mikami Yu twirled his sword, wiping away the blood droplets on the dagger, then slowly walked to Yekura and stood still.

The latter was now lying in a pool of blood, his hair on his forehead stuck together with sweat. He struggled a few times but couldn't get up, and even his vision became blurred.

In this state, Yekura struggled to look up at Mikami Yu, her amber eyes appearing somewhat unfocused. She seemed to want to utter something harsh, but in the end, she could only let out a weak sigh: "Ugh, just kill me!"

"puff……"

Yu Mikami paused, unable to suppress a laugh, before continuing what he was about to say.

What kind of lines are these from a defeated female knight?

"Kill you? That would be a waste."

"……What's the meaning?"

Ye Cang blinked with difficulty, spat out a mouthful of blood, and asked.

"It means exactly what it says."

Mikami Yu squatted down, glanced at Yekura's injuries, and slowly said, "You are a genius with the Scorching Release bloodline limit. It would be a pity to die like this. Let's leave you here as a prisoner for now. I'm quite interested in your body. We can discuss it sometime..."

"Well, it's alright. Luckily, I avoided vital organs, so I'm not dead yet. It's just that the wound on my shoulder is a bit troublesome; I don't know if it will heal in time..."

"...?"

Yekura was stunned for a moment when she heard Mikami Yu's self-talk, and then a strong sense of humiliation welled up in her heart.

What do you mean?

"Deliberately" avoiding the key points?

Could it be that he didn't use his full strength in that fight? He didn't even go all out, yet he still managed to get himself into this state?

Also, what does it mean to say "interested in my body"?

Could it be...

Yes, there are a number of lecherous ninjas.

This isn't about Jiraiya, whose talent was innate. Most ninjas, however, developed their skills through the pressures of their environment.

For them, torturing and abusing prisoners, and committing atrocities against prisoners or civilians, was a way to vent their emotions. Without these ways to relieve the pressure accumulated in their daily lives, who knows what horrific things they might do.

Such people are most common in Kirigakure. But there are also some in Sunagakure.

Yekura was fairly confident in her appearance, especially her fair and smooth back, which could be embroidered with the words "Serve the country with utmost loyalty." It wouldn't be incomprehensible if the Konoha boy in front of her had some thoughts about it...

"asshole……"

Ye Cang gritted her teeth: "Even if I die, I will never let you defile my body... uh!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, Puxin? You're really going to get some sleep.

Mikami Yuichi knocked Yekura unconscious with a karate chop and said.

He was indeed very interested in Yekura's body.

But it wasn't out of romantic feelings—although Yekura was indeed good-looking, and was known as "Back View" alongside "Leg Shadow" Kurotsuchi, the two had been enemies since their first meeting, both focused on how to kill each other, so there was no possibility of developing any other feelings.

Mainly...

This is the body of one of the few, if not the only, living, Scorch Release ninja in the ninja world. By studying her physical structure, it is possible to uncover the secrets of Scorch Release, and even the mechanism of "bloodline limit".

Moreover, Pakura herself is a high-quality prisoner; capturing her alive is far more meritorious than killing her, and we might even be able to exchange her for some good things from Sunagakure. Add to that the potential rewards from Jiraiya… a win-win situation!

At that moment, Mikami Yu took out a rope from his ninja tool bag, first tied up Yekura's hands and feet, and then used "healing jutsu" to give her some initial treatment.

Yu Mikami originally wanted to use the "Palm Healing Technique," since it would have a better healing effect and there was no one around.

but……

Who knows if there are a few White Zetsu watching around here?

Although Obito is on the other side, he is not far away. What if someone sees him hiding his trump card?

Therefore, it's better to play it safe.

After treatment, the bleeding from several wounds on Yecang's body stopped initially, and the severe injury to his shoulder also began to slowly recover thanks to the "healing mark".

Afterwards, Mikami Yu rested and meditated for a while until he was mostly recovered before carrying Yekura on his back and heading back the way he came.

at this time.

The forest that was just there has been completely destroyed.

The area, which is about several hundred square meters, is now shrouded in a thin layer of light green mist.

The "mist" resembled some kind of highly toxic gas, with a pungent, sweet, and fishy smell. It floated and wriggled among the bushes and tree trunks like a living thing. The carcasses of many birds and small animals were scattered around, each bleeding from its seven orifices, their deaths gruesome, and their bodies exhibiting unnatural swelling and decay.

In this death zone filled with poisonous fog, two figures were still locked in fierce combat.

Chiyo's hands moved swiftly, and in addition to "Crow", "Black Ant" and "Salamander", she even took out the "Chikamatsu Ten" from Monzae, controlling a total of thirteen puppets of different shapes at the same time!

Three or four puppets remained close to Chiyo, forming a solid human shield to prevent Minato Namikaze from getting close enough to assassinate her.

The remaining dozen or so puppets, wielding various weapons, formed an impenetrable offensive network under Chiyo's control, attacking Minato Namikaze from all directions! A barrage of crossbow bolts rained down, poisonous smoke billowed, chains strangled, blunt weapons pounded... a variety of attack methods were employed.

Faced with this fierce offensive,

Minato Namikaze covered his mouth and nose with one hand, while wielding a Flying Thunder God kunai with the other, tearing a layer of high-speed, sharp airflow around him—Wind Release: Wind Cutting Technique—to block the poisonous smoke. Then, he moved and flashed like a ghost amidst the puppet frenzy.

It seems that the situation has reached a stalemate.

Chiyo's puppets and poison were unable to effectively kill Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze was also unable to throw the Flying Thunder God kunai to Chiyo's side, and could only try to get close using the Body Flicker Technique, but each time his attempts were blocked by the puppets. With the Rasengan not yet fully developed, simply using kunai combined with ninjutsu was clearly insufficient to effectively damage these puppets.

Just when both sides were unable to defeat the other and were looking for an opportunity.

Yu Mikami, carrying Yekura, appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

"?!"

Chiyo caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, and her heart sank.

What... what's going on?!

She was well aware of Yekura's strength; not only was she skilled, but her Blazing Release technique was a powerful killing move that even she dared not directly confront. Therefore, regarding the battle between Yekura and Mikami Yu, Chiyo, while not entirely certain that Yekura would win, felt the odds were at least 70-30.

Even if Mikami Yu's strength exceeds expectations and he has some trump cards that he has not shown before, preventing Yekura from succeeding for the time being, the two sides should still be engaged in a fierce battle, and it will take ten or twenty minutes, or even longer, before the outcome gradually becomes clear.

But now...

How long has it been?

Is there ten minutes?

Yekura... she actually lost? And so quickly?!

why? !

An indescribable horror overwhelmed Chiyo, causing her mind to tremble violently and the chakra threads controlling the puppet to show an extremely slight delay!

In that instant, Minato Namikaze caught it, and his azure eyes flashed with a sharp light!

--Chance!

When masters clash, victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment!

Chapter 126 Rout and Support (Third Update)

call out--!

A flash of golden light! Minato Namikaze vanished instantly!

The next moment, he appeared less than half a meter in front of Chiyo, right on the back of the defensive puppet "Salamander"!

—It turns out that back in that probing close-quarters battle, Minato Namikaze had already left a barely perceptible Flying Thunder God Technique seal on the Salamander's carapace, but he hadn't activated it in the subsequent battles until now!

The kunai, with a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air, stabbed straight at Chiyo's wrinkled throat!

"what?!"

Chiyo was greatly shocked.

In the rush, she could only rely on her physical instincts honed through decades of battles. She leaned back sharply, trying her best to dodge the kunai, while using her hands to control the three Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Master puppets that remained beside her to protect her!

These three puppets, none other than the most peculiarly designed "Buddha," "Dharma," and "Sangha," suddenly activated the mechanisms on their chests, unleashing a terrifying suction force aimed directly at Minato Namikaze, who was standing nearby: "Three Treasures Suck Away—!"

This technique, a Wind Release with sealing properties, instantly created a fierce gale that frantically sucked everything in its path. Minato's movements were slightly off-target as a result; the kunai, originally aimed at her throat, ended up slicing through Chiyo's left arm instead.

scoff!

A spray of blood splattered out!

Seeing that his plan to kill with one blow had failed, Minato Namikaze did not linger in the fight. His figure turned into golden light again, and with the help of another Flying Thunder God kunai mark that he had set up in the distance, he instantly escaped the terrifying suction force of the "Three Treasures Absorption"!
