Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Mikami Tajima then brought up another matter: "Yu, your 'raw cola' is truly amazing! It completely exceeded our initial expectations!"

"Following the plan you left behind, we have been working steadily and surely. Sales and reputation in the village have basically taken off. The biggest bottleneck right now is production capacity, because we are selling them so fast. A few thousand bottles a month simply cannot meet everyone's demand."

"I've been visiting all the nearby workshops these past few days and have recruited some reliable people. We're working hard to expand the production line... Next month! Next month I'm confident I can increase monthly production to over 40,000 bottles! Based on the current pricing and the popularity, a monthly profit of 150,000 taels shouldn't be a problem!"

"Ah."

Yu Mikami nodded: "Well done, Father."

It seems that Mikami Tajima really has a talent for business. Even if a retired ninja had the same ideas as Mikami Yu, he might not be able to achieve this level in such a short time.

but……

"This is just the beginning. Our goal is to sell 100,000 bottles per month within six months, covering the entire Land of Fire market. How are the contacts with Nara and Akimichi going? Their medicinal herb sales channels have been operating for many years, covering most of the Land of Fire. If we can cooperate, it will save us a lot of effort."

"I'm already trying..."

Mikami Tajima paused here, his tone becoming serious: "By the way, Yu, I've been keeping Tsunade's share of the profits separate. After all, her improved formula and reputation were crucial to the success of 'Raw Cola.' What do you think would be the most appropriate way to give this money to Tsunade?"

"Let's wait a few days. I just went to see Lady Tsunade today. After we finalize the cooperation framework, I'll give her a surprise."

Yu Mikami said.

Speaking of,

Tsunade and the Fire Country Daimyo seem to have some familial connection, stemming from the marriage between Hashirama Senju and the children of the former Fire Country Daimyo. Therefore, the title "Princess Senju" for Tsunade is indeed fitting.

Yu Mikami confirmed this after arriving in the Naruto world and verifying it from multiple sources.

Therefore,

If "raw cola" is to leave Konoha and enter the eyes of those noble systems, Tsunade's help is indispensable.

To explain why they had to be nobles...

Of course, whoever has the money can make money.

Although "raw cola" isn't expensive, ordinary people can only afford to drink it occasionally, while wealthy people can easily drink ten or eight bottles a day. While this might lead to health problems, that's a concern years from now.

By then, "Muye Soda" and "Muye Fresh Orange Juice" should also be available.

Hmm... there's one more thing.

Using the "Konoha" trademark within the village is fine, but promoting it outside the village carries some risk. Therefore, besides Tsunade, we also need to find a way to bring the Sarutobi clan onto the bandwagon. We could consider using Asuma or Tsunade to sound out Hiruzen Sarutobi's intentions…

That night, the father and son sat by the window, talking late into the night by candlelight.

Most of the time, Yu Mikami did the talking, while his father, Tajima Mikami, would occasionally ask a few questions and then take careful notes in his notebook.

This can be considered a reversal of the Heavenly Gang.

It wasn't until Mikami Aoi came over to urge the two of them to go to sleep that Mikami Tajima blew out the candles and shoved Mikami Yu back to his room to rest.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, the Mikami family of three ate breakfast together.

Then the Mikami couple hurriedly left, each heading to their respective jobs: one to work as a librarian at the Konoha Library, and the other to strive for the "Cola Empire." Only Mikami Yu was relatively free, preparing to go to the training grounds behind the village to practice his ninjutsu.

Halfway there.

As Mikami Yu walked through a small alley, he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar commotion. Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a green bodysuit and with a hairstyle resembling an upside-down watermelon rind, jumping up and down in an extremely exaggerated manner, trying to catch a nimble tabby cat.

"Youth! Don't run away! Become my medal for completing my mission!"

"..."

As the tabby cat approached, Mikami Yuichi bent down, swiftly grabbed the scruff of its neck, and lifted it up. The cat thrashed about in vain, meowing, but couldn't break free.

"Uncle Dai, it's been a long time. What brings you here?"

"Oh, it's Yu!"

Might Guy stopped, wiped his sweat, and then flashed his signature bright smile and white teeth. "It really has been a long time. I heard from Kai that you went to the front lines recently? What a passionate and exciting experience!"

"As for this... a D-rank mission, 'Help the Lady of the Great Ming find her lost beloved cat, Xiaohua,' with a reward of 20,000 taels... Recently, prices in the village have risen sharply, with flour and vegetables being several times more expensive than before. I only know physical skills, so the high-level missions I can take on are limited, therefore..."

"But this is fine too. You go to the battlefield, I catch cats, we're both serving Konoha. Youth is about burning brighter in adversity!"

Matt Day struck his classic fist-clenching pose once again, looking full of energy, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

after all……

Mental victory won't solve practical problems. Kai is currently in a period of rapid physical development, which requires a lot of nutrition. If his nutrition isn't adequate at this time, his future achievements may be affected.

The speaker meant no harm.

The listener took it to heart.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Mikami Yu's mind: "Uncle Dai, do you know 'Konoha Cola'?"

"You mean that new drink? I bought a bottle last week and brought it home for Kai to try. He said it was delicious and even helped replenish chakra. No wonder it's a new product developed by Lady Tsunade!"

"that……"

Mikami Yu smiled and said, "Actually, this product was developed by my father and Lady Tsunade, and because it is so popular, we are currently in dire need of manpower."

"Most of the work involves packing, moving, and guarding equipment. It doesn't require much skill; all you need is strength and diligence. It's piecework, so the more you do, the more you earn. If you're interested... why not go help out there? It'll be an extra source of income."

"Really?

Matt Day was stunned, his eyes slowly widening and sparkling again.

"of course."

Yu Mikami nodded.

He had some ulterior motives towards Matt Day.

This person is, after all, one of the few in Konoha who has mastered the "Eight Gates," and can even open the eighth gate. Although the Eight Gates are a one-time use technique, it is indeed Kage-level power, and it would be a waste to trade him for one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Previously, Mikami Yu was in dire straits and didn't have the mind to consider these issues, but now, while his strength might not be at the Kage level, he's already considered an elite among Jonin, and he's mastered survival skills first; in addition, his family business has also started to take off and is thriving...

Therefore, we can try to change these established plot points.

Considering that Mikami Tajima's strength is not what it used to be due to his leg injury, having Might Guy by his side as a bodyguard wouldn't be bad.

the other side.

Might Guy, his eyes brimming with tears of excitement, hugged Mikami Yu tightly: "Yu, thank you so much! You are truly the sun that illuminates the path of youth for me and Kai! I'm going to go and interview your father right now! Youth! A new direction to strive for!"

"Wait a minute... cat!"

Yu Mikami raised his hand to indicate the tabby cat he was holding.

"Oh! Right, right! Mission! Youth should also have a beginning and an end!"

Might Guy slapped his forehead and turned around: "I'll take it to the Hokage Building to turn in the mission first, and then we'll go check out the workshop you mentioned! For youth—let's go!"

"..."

After watching Matt Day leave.

Yu Mikami continued to the training ground to begin today's training.

Phoenix Fire - Flame Bullet, Flagwood Sword Technique, Super Strength Technique, Water Formation Wall... each exercise progressed steadily.

Chapter 146: Mikami Yu's "Harem" Management Plan and an Encounter at a Barbecue Restaurant

To date, Yu Mikami's "harem" has grown to 15 members.

There are also about ten other skins.

In terms of Fire Release, it's pretty much over. Two techniques with maxed-out affinity, "Great Fireball" and "Phoenix Flower," plus their skins and variations, are enough to make Mikami Yu's Fire Release mastery unparalleled in Konoha. Apart from a few Kage-level ninjas, it's difficult for anyone else to surpass him.

If he were to expand his Fire Release techniques further, only "Fire Dragon Flame Bullet," "Dragon Flame Song," "Great Fire Annihilation," and "Dust Concealment" would be worth learning in Mikami Yu's opinion. Other techniques would hardly bring him a significant boost in strength.

In close combat, the combination of "Hatake Sword Technique", "Super Strength Technique", "Nerve Activation Technique" and "Instant Shadow Killing Formation" has gradually taken shape. If all these techniques are fully utilized, then Mikami Yu can unleash 3-5 times his normal strength in a short period of time.

In that state, it would be difficult for an ordinary Jonin to withstand a single strike from him, and even a Kage-level ninja would be in trouble depending on the situation and if their reaction wasn't fast enough.

In addition, although the progress of "Eight Gates" is relatively slow, the first stage of the ability to open two or three gates has now been unlocked at 25 affinity points.

So……

"The main task for the next stage is to raise the average favorability of all skills to over 50 and improve the constitution."

Mikami pondered.

After all, chakra reserves are the foundation of all techniques.

If an ordinary Hyuga clan member possessed chakra at the level of the Ten-Tails, then a casual "Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm" would be equivalent to "Eighty Gods Vacuum Strike." Although it's a bit difficult to raise chakra to the level of a Tailed Beast using the Corner System, Mikami Yu thinks that getting a few chakra units shouldn't be a problem.

At that time, we can also focus on developing Water Release techniques, which require more chakra.

Yu Mikami estimates that when there are enough Water and Fire Release characters with full affinity, a new "bond" should be unlocked, but it's uncertain how many that number will actually be.

We can explore that later.

Furthermore...

"The 'Neural Activation Technique' works quite well, but the 45-second duration is far too short. We need to find a way to compensate... I wonder if Yekura's blood sample and complete data are enough to get Orochimaru to replace another 'arm'..."

"Regarding sealing techniques, I'll find an opportunity to consult Minato or Kushina..."

In theory, most of the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan should belong to the same system, which can be regarded as a skin of "sealing seals". So as long as Mikami Yu can raise this thing's favorability to the point where he can give it gifts, he can master all of them.

"And there's also the Invisibility skill. Let's unlock its special ability and see what happens..."

……

A day passed slowly during training.

During this time, Yu Mikami even tried the "Impatiens Claw Red".

Well... to put it simply, this technique combines the "Phoenix Fire Technique" with shuriken throwing. The principle isn't too difficult, and the combination itself is easy, but to bring out the advantages of both, excellent dynamic visuals are required.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, only members of the Uchiha clan and a few exceptionally gifted individuals can master this ninjutsu. But now, Mikami Yu wants to try using the "Neural Activation Technique."

Until the sun sets in the west.

"...That's all for today."

Mikami slowly finished his stance, wiped the sweat from his forehead, collected all the scattered kunai and shuriken around him, and then hurried back towards the residential area.

back home.

Yu took a shower and changed into clean, fresh clothes.

At that moment, Mikami Tajima and Mikami Aoi also returned from outside together.

"Oh, Xiaoyou, is she home already? Hurry up and get ready, we're going to have dinner with Guangzhi and the others later, don't keep them waiting."

"it is good."

soon.

The Mikami family of three met up with the Nohara family of three from next door at their respective doorsteps, and then went together to yakiniku Q. Compared to yesterday, Nohara Rin had obviously dressed up a bit, wearing an elegant light-colored kimono. As soon as she saw Mikami Yu, she waved gently, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

along the way.

The two families chatted and laughed, catching up on each other's recent situations.

Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin walked side by side behind.

After arriving at the barbecue restaurant Q.

Hiroshi Nohara pulled out his pre-booked dining voucher and, led by a waiter, led the group to a corner of the restaurant. He gestured for Yu Mikami and the others to sit down, then waved his hand with an air of generosity, saying, "Bring ten plates of premium beef brisket! Five plates of pork tenderloin! And some vegetable platters! We're having a good time today, so everyone eat to your heart's content!"

"Okay! Coming right away!"

The waiter happily agreed.

Mikami Tajima coughed lightly: "Hiroshi, isn't this a bit too much?"

"It's okay, there are so many of us, surely we can finish this little bit, right? Besides, Yu and Lin are still growing, they need to eat more, otherwise how will they have the strength to fight on the battlefield!"

Hiroshi Nohara laughed heartily.

Just as the waiters were serving meat one after another, and the charcoal stove was sizzling loudly.

The curtain of the barbecue restaurant was lifted again, and this time a father and daughter entered.

The father was tall and had a serious expression; he appeared to be in his thirties. His daughter, on the other hand, had naturally curly black hair, a fair and delicate face, and bright red eyes. After glancing around the restaurant, she quickly noticed the table where Mikami Yu and the others were.
