Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Although helping Orochimaru with his research carries certain risks.

However, for the sake of "neuroactivation therapy," they had no choice but to accept it.

If the duration of the "Overload Pulse" could be extended to one or two minutes, Mikami Yu was confident that he could further enhance his close-combat skills. Considering the potential rewards, some necessary risks had to be taken. If anything went wrong, he could always go back to Tsunade.

……

The encounter with Orochimaru was just a minor incident.

These past few days,

Obito visited Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin several times, taking them to the training ground to "prepare" for the Chunin Exams.

Obito and Rin were a little nervous about the exam, worried that if they underperformed, they might fail to get promoted.

However, Yu Mikami didn't take it to heart at all. He would usually just send a shadow clone over to practice with the two of them, while his real body would go to other secluded places to secretly train his trump cards like "Neural Activation Technique" or help Orochimaru with his experiments.

The practice of Shadow Clone Jutsu will also be counted towards Mikami Yu's main body, increasing the affinity of ninjutsu. It's a win-win situation, as it doesn't interfere with either aspect.

Also.

Two days ago, Matt Dai passed the interview with Mikami Tajima and became a full-time employee of Mikami's workshop.

Although this person was a genin, he was strong and energetic, capable of doing the work of four or five people, which greatly pleased Mikami Tajima. He even increased the production target for the following month from 4 bottles to 5 bottles.

If this goal can be achieved successfully...

Perhaps the bet between Yu Mikami and Tsunade can be fulfilled ahead of schedule.

It was the fourth day after returning to the village.

Minato Namikaze, who had disappeared for several days, finally reappeared before Yu Mikami and the others:

"Yu, Rin, Obito, how have you been these past few days?"

Chapter 148: Are you my master?

"Minato-sensei, you've finally arrived!"

Obito was the first to jump up, his face full of surprise: "Where have you been these past few days? I thought you'd forgotten about us! Um... about the Chunin Exams, Minato-sensei, do you have any inside information to tell us, like the exam content or something, hehe!"

"Sorry, I had to handle some village-related matters."

Minato Namikaze smiled and answered Obito's first question before correcting him: "Obito, the Chunin Exams are selection exams, and leaking the questions beforehand is against the rules. However... I will help you improve your strength as much as possible before the exam."

“Obito, I’ve found you a more suitable teacher… Please, Fugaku.”

As Minato Namikaze opened the gate...

Another aura of chakra appeared on the grass.

It was Uchiha Fugaku, dressed in a dark green Jonin vest with a serious expression: "Uchiha Obito, right? I heard you activated the Two-Tomoe on the southwestern battlefield, very good. Come with me, I will teach you how to use these eyes."

Although they were from the same clan, Obito and Fugaku Uchiha were not close. If it weren't for Minato Namikaze's request and Obito's impressive record of opening two tomoe in one go, Fugaku, as the clan head, wouldn't have bothered wasting time on him.

Objectively speaking, Fugaku was indeed more suitable to teach Obito, since his fighting system was based on Sharingan and Fire Release, which was quite different from Minato Namikaze's, and the latter could only provide limited guidance.

"...Oh, okay."

Obito responded somewhat awkwardly, glanced at Rin Nohara, and left with a hint of reluctance.

after that.

Minato Namikaze turned to Yu Mikami, his tone becoming serious: "Yu, your current level far exceeds the standard for Chunin, so I'm not worried about whether you can pass the exam. I'm thinking about things in the long term."

"...What does Minato-sensei mean?"

How much do you know about 'spirit communication'?

Minato Namikaze asked.

Upon hearing this, Yu Mikami's heart stirred.

So, it turns out they weren't going to teach "Flying Thunder God," but rather "Spirit Summoning"?

Also.

"Flying Thunder God" is essentially a derivative application of "Summoning Jutsu." Trying to skip the latter and directly learn Flying Thunder God is too difficult. So, learning the prerequisites first isn't a bad idea.

present.

Yu Mikami nodded: "I know a little bit. Summoning jutsu is a ninjutsu that summons creatures through contracts. It is mainly divided into two categories: one is 'blood contract summoning' which summons beasts to help in battle, and the other is 'object summoning' which targets specific objects, such as the legendary 'Rashomon' of the First Hokage."

"Yes."

Minato Namikaze nodded approvingly, "Jiraiya-sensei and I are both contract holders who have signed a blood pact with 'Mount Myoboku,' one of the three great summoning holy sites. The toads of Mount Myoboku are not only powerful, but also possess unique Sage Mode inheritances..."

“Yu, you have great talent and potential. With the help of Mount Myōboku, it will greatly benefit your future growth. I have already consulted with Jiraiya-sensei. If you are willing, I can act as your introducer and make you the third contractor of Mount Myōboku.”

"!"

Yu's heart skipped a beat.

To be fair, this proposal carries considerable weight.

The summoning contracts of the three sacred lands are the dream of almost every ninja. Even an ordinary genin, as long as he can summon one of the Gamabunta brothers, is guaranteed to be able to fight against an elite jonin. Not to mention, Mount Myōboku also has a relatively mature Sage Mode system.

but……

Taming those unruly toads is no easy task.

Furthermore, Yu Mikami has another option: to leverage his relationship with Tsunade to obtain a summoning contract for Shikkotsu Forest. While slugs aren't as strong as toads in combat, their support capabilities are top-notch, and they basically don't require any taming process.

The only problem is whether Shikkotsu Forest has any Sage Mode inheritance. After all, the original work doesn't say where Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode came from.

—As for Ryuchi Cave, there's basically no need to consider it. Those guys are even more difficult to deal with than toads. Even Orochimaru couldn't handle them. Mikami Yu doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Considering that the summoned beasts of the Holy Land are exclusive, only one of the two can be chosen.

Yu Mikami found it difficult to make a decision.

Rin Nohara raised her hand curiously and asked, "Minato-sensei, is it necessary to have a summoning beast to use summoning jutsu?"

"Theoretically, yes."

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly: "However, only a few ninjas can form blood pacts with powerful summoning beast clans. Ordinary people can find suitable summoning beasts on their own, negotiate with them, or defeat them and subdue them for their own use."

"What if I cast a summoning jutsu without any prior knowledge of it? Will it summon something strange?"

Nohara Rin asked again.

"In that case, the chakra would be wasted and nothing would happen. However, there are occasional exceptions. For example, when Jiraiya was young, he recklessly tried the summoning technique and 'reverse-summoned' himself to Mount Myōboku, which is how he became a contractor of Mount Myōboku."

After answering Rin Nohara's question,

Minato Namikaze turned to Yu Mikami: "Yu, the choice of summoning beast does require careful consideration. There's no need to rush. The invitation from Mount Myōboku is still valid. You can take your time to weigh the options. I'll teach you the technique itself first."

"This technique can be considered a type of space-time ninjutsu. Its hand seal structure and spatial positioning techniques are very valuable for research. It is similar in principle to higher-level space-time ninjutsu such as 'Flying Thunder God.' Laying a good foundation in advance will make learning it much easier later."

"...Okay, I understand."

present.

Minato Namikaze began explaining to Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara.

From the structure of the seal to the key points of its use, and then to the many details that may arise during the process, we proceed step by step.

During this process,

The familiar system notification popped up with a "ding!" sound:

[Ding! High-quality potential target detected: "Spirit Spell"! Trigger encounter event?]

【whether】

Using the hand seals taught by your teacher, you drew a massive array on the training grounds west of Konoha Village. With a flash of light, a blonde girl with an elven-like appearance appeared before you.

She wore a long dress embroidered with ancient runes, and was barefoot, floating in mid-air. Semi-transparent chains hung from her wrists and ankles, extending into the silvery water, creating ripples. She opened her eyes, scrutinizing you as if examining an intriguing toy.

[Summoning Technique: (Yawning) Ah... it feels like I slept for ages. Finally, I see living people again. Hey, little guy, are you my master?]

"……what?"

Chapter 149: Mikami Yu's Summoning Jutsu "Talent" and the Birth of "Nohara Shiro" (Part 2)

Yu Mikami paused for a moment.

It seems that this ninjutsu's appearance is quite different from the ones he has conquered before; it even makes references.

Then, several dialog boxes appeared:

[A: Yes, yes, I am your master. From now on, you must obey my every command and not disobey me!]

[B: Your chain looks so pretty, it's sparkly! Can I touch it?]

[C: (Silent, gazing at her with deep affection)]

"..."

Yu Mikami hesitated for a few seconds between A and B, and finally chose B.

[Spirit Spell: (A sly smile appears) Oh? What you want to touch, is it these chains, my feet, or... whatever might be tied to the other side of the chains?]

"...The thing that's tied up?"

What do you mean?

[Spiritual Spell: Well... the other end of these chains has been connected to many interesting creatures in the past, such as a toad covered in bumps, a snake with a terrible temper, and a slimy slug... Pulling these chains might allow you to meet them, but if you pull out something not to be trifled with, the consequences could be quite serious.]

"!!"

Yu Mikami's eyelids twitched.

Toads, giant snakes, slugs... these descriptions clearly refer to the spirit beasts of the Three Sacred Lands!

Could it be that,

The girl in front of him is a concept or meme called "spirit magic". Any spirit beast that has ever been contracted by humans in history has been connected to her chains. He can use these chains to bypass the restrictions of the blood contract and directly drag those guys over to work for him.

If that's the case...

That's a bit too buggy.

It seems unlikely.

[Summoning: Well...maybe. Do you want to give it a try?]

Of course, we should try it.

After all, Minato Namikaze just taught him how to use it, so even without a summoning beast, he should still try it out a few times when he has the chance.

then,

Mikami Yu temporarily shifted his attention away from the Gag System and looked at Namikaze Minato in front of him. "Minato-sensei, I'd like to try out the Summoning Jutsu."

"Oh? You've memorized it all so quickly? Good. Remember what I just said about the chakra flow path and spatial positioning. Try it out first, and I'll correct you if there are any problems."

Minato Namikaze encouraged him.

Mikami Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly began to form hand seals, then pressed his fingers to the ground. As the seals took shape, a circle of black runes spread out from under his palms, forming an ancient and profound pattern, and a portion of the chakra within Mikami Yu's body was instantly drained.

Without a pre-set contractual objective, nothing should have happened under normal circumstances.

but……

hum-

[You formed the hand seal for "Summoning," and with ripples in the space, one of the chains wrapped around your left hand began to rattle, as if pulled by an invisible object. She smiled, gave a sharp pull, and something emerged from beneath the silvery surface.]

[Summoning spell: Oh~ Not bad luck, I got something! It's a really cute little thing~]

in reality.

Yu Mikami looked down and saw a fluffy white ball of fur appear out of thin air at his feet.

"Woof...woof?"

It was a puppy that looked to be only a few months old. It was pure white and curled up like a fluffy cotton ball. It seemed to be confused and raised its little head, its wet black nose twitching as it made a weak and bewildered cry.

"what?!"

Nohara Rin was the first to let out a soft gasp of surprise, her eyes instantly lighting up and her face filled with affection, "What an adorable little puppy!"
