Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

"Fine, say what you want, you're a prisoner now anyway."

"However, as far as I am concerned... those who have fallen to me will not be considered my opponents. I will give you time to catch up until you can no longer see me."

"?!"

Ye Cang suddenly opened his eyes wide, his eyes almost spitting fire.

She understood, of course, but she couldn't accept it emotionally—according to Mikami Yu, he clearly didn't see Yokura as a target, but rather viewed her demonstration with the attitude of a condescending observer. This feeling was something Yokura, a genius, had never experienced before.

Even Sasori of the Red Sand has never said that about her!

But Ye Cang couldn't refute it. She could only purse her lips tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, swallowing the humiliation and suffocation.

at this time.

Mikami Yu walked up to her and, under Yekura's slightly resistant gaze, checked her injuries.

Actually, this job should be done by female doctor Shinobu, like Nohara Rin.

But Mikami Yu thought to himself that he was upright and honest, and more importantly, he was only about ten years old, so he didn't want to go through all that trouble—surely no one would think that a ten-year-old could do anything to Yekura, right? Although theoretically, children in the ninja world do develop faster…

Hmm... Now that you mention it, Yekura's development speed is quite rapid. She's only around fourteen years old, but her breasts are already quite impressive. Judging by appearances, they're only about one size smaller than Tsunade's. She's quite gifted.

When Yu Mikami touched Yokura's shoulder through her clothes, he couldn't help but steal a few glances at her before quickly looking away before Yokura noticed.

"Hmm... Aside from the injury on your shoulder, you're almost healed. I'll have Lin come and change your dressing later."

Mikami Yu stood up from in front of Yekura and pointed to the lunchbox that had been placed on the table: "Since things have come to this, let's eat first. After you've recovered from your injuries for a few days, I'll come back to discuss the Blazing Release with you."

"..."

Yecang remained silent.

Mikami Yu closed the door and turned to leave.

Chapter 130 Jiraiya: Kid, you've gotten it pretty early, huh? Hehe...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the Konoha support forces brought by Hyuga Hizashi and others gradually took over the defense of the Oborozuki Castle base from Inuzuka Tsurugi and began to settle down there. Various patrols and reconnaissance operations began to be carried out in an orderly manner.

The condition of the injured has been brought under control, and they only need to rest and recuperate normally.

then.

After bidding farewell to Inuzuka Tsurugi, Hyuga Hizashi, and the others, Minato Namikaze, along with Mikami Yu and the others, as well as the captured Yoru Kura, embarked on their journey back to Wildfire Castle.

Originally, Minato Namikaze was worried that they might encounter an ambush by Sunagakure along the way.

After all, the Sand Village suffered heavy losses in the last encounter, losing not only twenty or thirty elite soldiers but also Pakura, a crucial fighting force, giving them ample reason to organize a rescue. Therefore, Minato Namikaze specifically instructed Yu Mikami and the others to maintain a high level of vigilance along the way.

but……

The anticipated attack did not occur until they stepped through the gates of Wildfire City.

It seems that Chiyo's defeat has caused panic among the Sunagakure forces, making them hesitant to take any rash actions against them for the time being.

This is a good thing.

Soon, the group returned to the front-line command post located in the city.

Jiraiya, who already knew of their return, personally went out to greet them, his booming laughter almost lifting the roof off: "Hahaha! Well done! You brats from Minato's team!"

"You removed the thorn in Oborozuki Castle's side, severely damaged Sunagakure's elite forces, and even captured their Scorching Release genius alive! This achievement is enough to make you kids famous! Minato, these are all your excellent students!"

"Teacher, you flatter me."

Minato Namikaze stood to the side with a smile and said, "It's all thanks to their own efforts; I only provided a little guidance."

"Haha, you're actually being modest in front of me."

Jiraiya laughed heartily again, then patted Mikami Yu's shoulder forcefully, and cast an approving look at Kakashi and the others, becoming more and more satisfied with his "grand-disciple".

how to say……

Jiraiya originally thought Kakashi was already a genius enough, but he didn't expect Mikami Yu to be even more courageous than him. At such a young age, he had already achieved the feat of capturing a Jonin alive, and together with Minato, he repelled Chiyo. This was good news that deserved to be widely publicized and used to demoralize Sunagakure.

Of course, we still need to consult with Yu Mikami himself, but there's no rush.

"Is this the genius from Sunagakure?"

Jiraiya turned his gaze to Yekura, who was following behind Minato's team: "I've already notified Inoichi. I'll have him come over later to 'see' what kind of precious information this Sunagakure genius has in his head."

"..."

Mikami Yu hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Um, Jiraiya-sama, may I make a small request of you?"

"Ok?"

"Could you please ask Senior Inoichi to be as careful as possible when investigating? Because Yekura is a person with a bloodline limit, there may be some connection between her brain structure and chakra flow, and she is an important prisoner, so it's best not to cause irreversible damage."

Mikami Yu's original intention was to study the mysteries of Scorching Release through Yekura.

Therefore, he had already taken Yekura's blood sample and skin slices while in Oborozuki City. However, due to objective conditions, he did not conduct further analysis on the latter's body, intending to wait until he returned to Wildfire City to borrow the medical equipment there for observation.

but……

These words, however, took on a different meaning in Jiraiya's ears.

"Oh?"

Jiraiya glanced at Mikami Yu, then at Yekura's fair and delicate face and curvaceous figure, as if he understood something. He grinned, revealing an ambiguous and teasing smile: "Oh? Research? Hehehe... Kid, you've figured it out pretty early!"

"Hmm, this girl does have a good look, you have good taste! But we in Konoha have rules for treating prisoners, especially important ones like this, we can't just do whatever we want. If you really want to 'research' something, well, that'll have to do with your own skills, hahahaha!"

"...?"

A string of question marks appeared on Yu Mikami's forehead.

no……

Could this old lecher be thinking something inappropriate?

Beside her, Nohara Rin seemed to have thought of something as well, glancing at Kakashi's ninja tool bag with a subtle expression.

After the joke.

Jiraiya waved his hand: "Alright, you kids must be exhausted. Go back and get some rest! Your lodgings have been arranged. Minato, you stay here for a moment."

"Yes, Jiraiya-sensei."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

Mikami Yu and the others bowed and took their leave.

On his way out of the command post, Obito was still showing off his Sharingan to a logistics ninja who looked somewhat friendly and happened to be passing by: "Hey! Uncle! How did you know I activated it..."

……

Inside the camp.

When only Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze remained, the atmosphere became somewhat serious.

The former suppressed his playful expression and asked seriously, "Minato, what do you think about that child?"

"...You mean Mikami Yu?"

"No, it's Uchiha Obito."

Jiraiya lowered his voice: "Awakening your Sharingan at this age is a bit late, but to awaken it with two tomoe right away is rare even within the Uchiha clan. And the Uchiha's position in the village has always been rather delicate, as you know. So..."

"Teacher, I understand your concerns."

Minato Namikaze smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's a good thing that Obito has awakened his Sharingan; it proves his potential. I will guide him to understand and use this power correctly, and to use it to protect his comrades and the village."

"As for the Uchiha clan, I will also use my connections with Fugaku and Kushina to send out information as needed. Obito is simple-minded and values ​​loyalty. As long as we give him enough trust and guidance, he will only be an asset to Konoha and will not become a problem."

"...Alright, since you know what's going on, I won't say any more. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know!"

Jiraiya patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder, his tone softening: "Honestly, Minato, your students are really good. Kakashi goes without saying, and Obito, that kid, you managed to turn him from a bottom of the class into a potential star, and then there's that kid Mikami Yu..."

"Protect them well; these are your most solid foundation for the future!"

Upon hearing this,

Minato Namikaze smiled modestly again and shook his head slightly: "Teacher, you flatter me. They are indeed very hardworking and excellent. As for the future..."

"It's too early to talk about those things now. After all, Lady Tsunade and Lady Orochimaru are far superior to me in terms of strength, prestige, and contributions to the village. They are still role models that I need to look up to and learn from."

At this stage, Minato Namikaze's achievements are not enough to make "The Yellow Flash" famous throughout the ninja world. If Tsunade and Orochimaru want to compete for the Fourth Hokage title, they will be his two most difficult opponents. As for Jiraiya... he has no intention of doing so, so he can be disregarded.

of course……

This is based on the premise that Minato Namikaze was unaware that Tsunade suffered from hemophobia. If we exclude the former, then Orochimaru is the only one who can be his opponent.

The master and apprentice continued their discussion about the battle situation.

the other side.

Back in her tent, Nohara Rin quietly approached Mikami Yu and whispered, "Um, Yu... can I ask you a personal question?"

"Ok?"

"You...you don't actually like that female Sand Ninja, do you?"

"?"

News of the Chunin Exams in Chapter 131, and the release of "Konoha Cola" (two-in-one)

Yu Mikami was taken aback by what he heard, and then turned around.

Then I saw Nohara Rin's face turn red, her eyes darting around, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Clearly, Jiraiya's words had resonated with her. Theoretically, setting aside their status as enemies, Yekura was indeed a very beautiful woman with a great figure, and being a fourteen-year-old Jonin, she made Nohara Rin feel somewhat inferior.

"...How could that be?"

Mikami Yu smiled and casually replied, "I'm just interested in her 'Scorching Release' and want to study how that kind of bloodline limit works. That's all. Jiraiya-sama is a pervert, so just take what he says with a grain of salt."

"Is that so?"

Rin Nohara was skeptical, but too embarrassed to press further. She simply nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed, "Um... I understand! Sorry, Yu, I asked a strange question..."

"Speaking of which, is Jiraiya really... indecent? And that book, 'Make-Out Paradise,' is the content really as Obito said? After all, he is one of Konoha's 'Legendary Sannin'... how could he write something like that?"

"Ahem, the 'Three Legendary Sannin' are human too, they have some basic human physiological needs. Even Lady Tsunade likes to have a few drinks and gamble from time to time..."

Mikami Yu mumbled.

The air fell silent for a brief moment.

The two stood facing each other in the room, looking directly at each other's faces, and both felt a subtle atmosphere brewing.

suddenly.

Obito poked his head out from outside the door and broke the silence with a loud shout: "Rin, Yu, you're both here... Yu, want to spar with me? My Fire Release skills have improved a lot recently, I feel like I can be your opponent now!"

"...Tomorrow then."

Yuko Mikami said that you've only had your eyes open for two days, so what kind of improvement could you have made? But she replied casually, "It's too late today, you should get some rest."

"Alright then, definitely tomorrow!"

After dealing with Obito's side...

Yu Mikami then took his cup, went out to brush his teeth and wash his face, and prepared to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

As Konoha's main base in the southwestern battlefield, Wildfire Castle offers better accommodations than Oborozuki Castle. However, it certainly can't compare to Konoha Village. After all, it's on the front lines, and many basic living facilities are lacking, so everything has to be kept simple.

in the dark.

Yu's thoughts briefly drifted back to Konoha Village. He recalled his earlier attempt to persuade Tajima Mikami to make money by writing erotic novels, and the "Konoha Cola" project. He wondered how it was progressing...

……

The time was the following morning.

The morning sun shone through the clouds and fell on the main road of Konoha Village.

Having just completed a multi-day escort mission to deliver supplies, Asmaban and his two companions, covered in dust, stepped into the familiar village gates.

"Phew... I'm finally back!"

Sarutobi Asuma let out a long sigh of relief, habitually reaching for a cigarette to take a couple of puffs and relax—a new habit he'd recently picked up. But as his hand reached for his ninja tool pouch, he remembered the girl beside him and could only rub his fingers together sheepishly, deciding to find another place to smoke later.
