Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 128 That's not how it is in the hidden corners of Naruto! (Two chapters combined)

It was no coincidence that Obito and Rin came together.

Instead, it was Obito who came to him on his own initiative.

His idea was simple: since Minato Namikaze had created this one-on-one opportunity for Minato's team, he naturally had to seize it and, ideally, take this opportunity to show off in front of Rin Nohara.

For example—

Before Mikami Yu and Kakashi arrive, he arrives at Nohara Rin's side to stage a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scene, casually killing a Sand Ninja with one hand while chatting and laughing, demonstrating his powerful strength. If everything goes according to this script, who wouldn't look at Uchiha Obito with new respect?

When Mikami Yu and Kakashi find out, they'll both praise him and call him "Big Brother Obito."

Just thinking about it makes me feel wonderful.

However----

Obito's plan ran into problems from the very first step.

He discovered that the two opponents he and Rin Nohara had chosen seemed a bit too strong.

How to put it—

Apart from these few, they were all survivors killed by Minato Namikaze. However, since Chiyo brought them here, their strength must be quite good; they are at least Chunin with some combat experience, and might even be Jonin.

Obito and Rin Nohara weren't too unlucky; they didn't manage to select two Jonin.

But it's not too good either.

Because both the scarred ninja and the female Sand Ninja are elite Chunin. Even in a one-on-one fight, Obito and Rin Nohara would have a hard time winning. At most, they could only rely on their basic skills to hold their own for a short time and remain undefeated until Minato Namikaze and the others could come to their aid.

When these two teamed up, the sum of their parts was greater than the sum of their parts, giving Obito and Rin a mixed doubles advantage.

If Nohara Rin hadn't seized an opportunity and, under Obito's cover, delivered a powerful punch that crippled half of the female Sand Ninja's arm, preventing her from using hand seals and ninjutsu and forcing her to rely solely on taijutsu and shuriken throwing, this battle might have been even more difficult.

Even so, they were both nearing their limit.

"—Heh, judging from your appearance, you're probably nearing your end, aren't you?"

Scarface Sand Shinobu spoke in a deep, muffled voice.

Obito gritted his teeth and continued stubbornly, "What do you mean, 'no'? I have plenty of chakra! Come at me if you dare!"

"Yeah?"

The scarred sand ninja sneered, "Then let's try it. Let me see if you Konoha ninjas have any other skills besides being stubborn—Earth Release: Rock Thief Stick!"

With that, the scarred Sand Ninja rapidly formed hand seals and then slammed his hands onto the ground!

Several sharp stalagmites burst from the ground beneath Obito and Rin Nohara's feet, forcing the two to retreat and dodge! But at that moment, the shuriken hidden by the female sand demon arrived as well. Obito hastily pushed Rin Nohara aside and then rolled lazily to barely dodge.

"Rin, go find Mr. Minato—I'll cover for you!"

Obito shouted.

Although he spoke with great bravado, he knew that he and Nohara Rin were no match for the two opponents. Only if Namikaze Minato or those two white-haired men arrived could the crisis be averted; if they continued to fight on, they might both die here.

Nohara Rin hesitated for a moment.

The scarred Sand Shinobi opposite him roared and charged forward, hurling a string of shuriken at Nohara Rin while simultaneously gripping a kunai tightly in his hand, aiming it at Obito, who had just gotten up: "Run? Don't even dream about it! You two are going to die today!!"

"—Obito!"

Rin Nohara screamed and hurriedly released a water wave to try to stop the scarred sand ninja, but she had little chakra left and the water she could barely create was not enough to form an effective barrier.

Lin herself was even distracted and was hit by two poisoned shuriken, causing her to stagger slightly.

Just then, the kunai, glowing with a green light, was about to pierce Obito's chest!

At the critical moment!

Obito's mind went blank. The fear of death and Rin Nohara's piercing screams struck his heart like a heavy hammer! An indescribable, cold yet burning pain exploded from the depths of his eyes!

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

Obito let out a painful roar and instinctively closed his eyes. However, the instant he closed his eyes, a strange, new power seemed to break through some invisible shackles, surging and surging within his body!

Swish!

Obito suddenly opened his eyes!

A pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared!

Within those bloodshot pupils, a pair of jet-black tomoe were slowly rotating, emitting an eerie and cold light—the Sharingan!

The world seemed to slow down at that moment.

In Obito's eyes, the scarred Sand Shinobi's lightning-fast thrust suddenly became clear; he could even see every muscle twitch on the other's face as he grinned maliciously! But—

That's too late.

At this moment, although Obito's perception was soaring, his body was still exhausted from the fierce battle. Even if he saw it clearly, he didn't have time to react. He could only watch helplessly as the kunai magnified in his vision, and then—it was blocked by a white shadow that suddenly appeared.

"laugh--

'

The buzzing sound of sharp objects tearing through the air came to an abrupt end.

Obito's eyes widened abruptly as he stared blankly at the figure that had suddenly appeared before him, his mind going blank again from the shock of this turn of events: "—Yu?"

"You—you actually—"

Did he sacrifice himself to save me?

Obito's eyes felt a burning pain again.

He subconsciously raised his hands and put them on Mikami Yu's shoulders from behind. Tears welled up in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Mikami Yu in front of him "pop" and turn into a cloud of white smoke and disappear.

"————???"

Is it a shadow clone?

"What? Suddenly spacing out during battle? Do you want to die even faster?"

Before the words were finished, another Mikami Yu—or rather, Mikami Yu's true form—flew over from where Nohara Rin was, kicking the scarred Sand Ninja who had just reacted away with a "Leaf Whirlwind," and then landed steadily next to Obito.

Obito was still in a daze: "Yu, you—you're not dead?"

"What do you think?"

Yu Mikami glanced at Obito's bloodshot eyes and was somewhat speechless.

How to put it—

Objectively speaking, Mikami Yu arrived at just the right time, just before Obito and Nohara Rin were seriously injured and facing death, and rescued them both.

but----

Subjectively, Yu Mikami felt that he was late.

He had anticipated that some unexpected situations might arise with Obito and Rin Nohara, but he never expected that Obito would actually awaken his Sharingan in this battle!

This isn't right!

Obito should have waited another year or two, until the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, when he witnessed Kakashi's injury and awakened his two-tomoe Sharingan; then, in the Hidden Mist battlefield, he witnessed Kakashi kill Rin Nohara with a single Lightning Blade, thus awakening his Mangekyou Sharingan—why did he awaken it now?!

This is way ahead of the original storyline!

That's not how it's written in the Naruto anime!

Can----

no way.

Now that things have come to this, there's no way for Mikami Yu to turn back time and arrive here immediately after dealing with Yekura to resolve the crisis between Obito and Nohara Rin—he can only accept the fact that Obito has awakened his Sharingan.

now.

Yu Mikami sighed inwardly, pretending to have just noticed Obito's change: "Obito, those eyes of yours—have you awakened the Sharingan?"

'

"Oh! You mean this!"

Obito belatedly touched his eyes, feeling the strange flow of chakra. He was both excited and at a loss: "I don't know what happened. I saw that guy rushing over, and suddenly—my eyes hurt for a moment, and then this happened!"

"Hahaha, so this is the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan? Amazing! I feel incredibly strong now!"

opposite.

Scarface Sand Shinobu frowned, a look of astonishment on his face.

The arrival of Yu Mikami was something he had never expected.

In his view, it would be reasonable for Kakashi to come. After all, Yu Mikami and Minato Namikaze's opponents were Pakura and Chiyo, respectively, one a young genius from Sunagakure and the other a veteran Kage-level fighter—it was hard to imagine that these two would lose to Konoha.

but----

Since the unexpected situation has already occurred, there's not much more to say.

""

The scarred Sand Ninja immediately formed hand seals and activated Earth Release, attempting to escape underground.

"Hey, don't even think about running away!!"

With the insight of his Sharingan, Obito immediately noticed the scarred Sand Ninja's movements. He took a step forward, his body propelled by the newly generated power, and rushed towards his opponent at an extremely fast speed, throwing a punch!

"Get out of here!"

Scarface Sand, enraged, casually drew a kunai and stabbed at Obito. "If I can't beat that white-haired guy, can't I beat you?"

Do you really think you're invincible just because you wear colored contact lenses?

At worst, we can just trade one for one!

As the scarred Sand Ninja's kunai came flying at him, Obito sidestepped and ducked to avoid the attack, then suddenly slammed his right fist into the scarred Sand Ninja's unguarded ribs!

boom!

Scarface Sand Ninja hadn't expected that this brat, who had just been dominating him, would suddenly unleash such a swift counterattack. He took a punch to the ribs and felt a sudden darkness before his eyes. Then he saw Obito form hand seals and unleash the "Great Fireball Technique"!

boom!

A blazing fireball roared out, sending the scarred Sand Ninja flying. He crashed heavily into a large tree, then fell to the ground, his body scorched, sending leaves flying everywhere.

Obito threw several kunai at the scarred Sand Ninja, which embedded themselves in his body. The latter's vision went black, and he finally lost consciousness completely.

"it's over."

the other side.

At this moment, Nohara Rin also tied up the female Sand Ninja who had already been injured and knocked unconscious by Mikami Yu's hand chop, and walked over.

Obito and Rin Nohara then remembered to ask Yu Mikami about the others.

"—The battle on Minato's side is over, and Chiyo has escaped. She sent me to find you. Kakashi has Minato's personal support, so don't worry."

Yu Mikami said.

Upon learning of this, Obito and Rin Nohara both breathed a sigh of relief.

Nohara Rin originally wanted to ask about Yekura's situation, after all, she had witnessed the latter's strength. Although she had confidence in Mikami Yu, she did not think that Mikami Yu could easily crush the opponent, and must have gone through some danger.

But before Rin could speak, Obito touched his eye sockets and said with a grin, "Haha, Yu, Rin, tell me quickly, what do my eyes look like now? How many tomoe are in them?"

"----two."

Yu Mikami said.

There's no way around it; that's the value of bloodline.

In the original story, Obito's first eye was the two-tomoe Sharingan, and then he jumped straight to the Mangekyou Sharingan and even activated the bug-level eye technique "Kamui". If you didn't know better, you would think that he was the reincarnation of Indra in this generation.

Now, although the time and circumstances are different, Obito still directly activated the two-tomoe mantra, which made Mikami Yu feel complicated.

"never mind."

"Let me treat your wounds first, then we'll clean up the battlefield and go find Kakashi and the others."

As Yu Mikami spoke, Obito and Rin Nohara both nodded.

They were both indeed injured, especially Nohara Rin, who was hit by several poisoned kunai when she released "Water Rumble Wave," and the poison had already spread.

Mikami Yu deftly rummaged through his ninja tool pouch for an antidote, and he and Nohara Rin injected it into her mouth. Then he cast a "healing jutsu" on her.

0

next to.

Although Obito was also injured, he was in a state of extreme excitement because he had activated his Sharingan, so he didn't care about such a small matter and began to casually loot the corpse.

At first, only Yu Mikami was doing this, but Obito and Rin saw it so often that they also got into the habit.

After all, the enemies they encounter are getting stronger and stronger, and their ninja tools are being used up in large quantities. The supplies at the headquarters are limited and cannot be supplied indefinitely. Therefore, collecting ninja tools to replenish their supplies after battles has become a daily routine for the group.

at this time.

Underground, not far from the battlefield.

Unbeknownst to Mikami and the others, a white figure was quietly disappearing—

The location is "Mountain Prison," not far from the Valley of the End.

Deep within the cave, the light was dim and the air deathly still. Only a few rays of sunlight pierced through a few holes, shining in from above the rock layers and illuminating the enormous body of the Outer Path Golem.

In the shadow cast by the golem.

An elderly man sat cross-legged, his back ramrod straight.

He was clearly very old; his long hair was completely white, his face was covered with deep wrinkles, and there were even several thick tubes inserted into his back. He needed to draw nutrients from the Outer Path Statue to maintain his body and continue to live.

But only those eyes, even though they were sunken deep in their sockets, still revealed a sharp, hawk-like gaze, radiating the suffocating majesty of the former "Ninja World Asura".

suddenly.

A faint, crawling sound, like insects rubbing, broke the silence as it approached.

But a white, humanoid creature, as if its skin had been peeled off, emerged from the shadows of the cave entrance in an almost comical writhing posture—it was none other than White Zetsu Afei.

"Lord Madara! Lord Madara! A groundbreaking discovery! A truly groundbreaking discovery!"
