Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 140 The Innately Evil Konoha Kid and Jiraiya's "Transparent Release" Tutorial (Part 2)

Yu Mikami is certain that Obito has now come into Madara Uchiha's sights, especially since he has even awakened his Sharingan. This change could very well lead Madara to act differently from the original storyline, or even to take action against him and Rin Nohara ahead of time.

When Minato Namikaze was around, Madara probably wouldn't have dared to be too blatant, since he didn't want to expose his existence to the Ninja World.

But what if Yu Mikami and his friends act alone?

That's hard to say.

Although Mikami Yu now possesses a considerable number of abilities, including several life-saving techniques, even against a Kage-level ace, if he wanted to escape, his opponent might not be able to stop him. But against Uchiha Madara—even escaping might be a pipe dream.

"Well, don't worry."

Minato Namikaze didn't think too much about it. He simply patted Rin Nohara's shoulder lightly and glanced at Yu Mikami: "I've seen your progress. You all have considerable abilities now, enough to handle ordinary storms. There's no doubt about that."

"However, as your instructor, I still have shortcomings in teaching you. When I return to the village this time, I will find time to teach you a few new skills to help you pass the exam smoothly."

"Yay!"

Given the special occasion, Minato Namikaze didn't talk much about cultivation. Instead, he said a few words to lighten the mood before getting up and leaving.

Thereafter.

The bonfire dinner lasted until eight or nine o'clock in the evening before gradually coming to an end.

At this moment, Yu Mikami found a few clean food containers, picked out a few freshly baked, still-warm pieces of meat, a few untouched loaves of bread, and some fresh fruit, packed them up simply, and carried them in his hand.

"—Should we send this to Yekura?"

"Nohara Rin asked softly."

"Well, we did ask her for help before. Besides, we Konoha are a righteous army, and we must maintain basic humane care for prisoners. Rin, do you want to come along?" Mikami Yu asked.

"No, thank you. Go early and come back early, don't stay out too late."

Nohara Rin shook her head and said with a smile.

After greeting Kakashi and Obito, Mikami Yu carried the food box to the cell where Yekura was located, got the key from the guard, opened the door and went in: "Good evening, Prison Yekura."

"You must have heard the commotion outside. Today is Konoha's New Year, and we've prepared a lot of delicious food at the base. I'll bring some for you to try. Eat it while it's hot."

Inside the cell.

In the dim light, Yekura looked up alertly and paused for a moment when she saw the food box handed to her, which emitted an enticing aroma of meat and steaming food.

She did hear some noise; after all, the bonfire feast outside was quite lavish, with people playing music and singing. With Yekura's skills, it would be hard for her not to notice something. But she didn't expect that this white-haired brat who had captured her would bring her food at a time like this: "Little white-haired brat, what are you trying to do now?"

"Nothing much. War is war, but we still need to eat. Don't worry, I wouldn't poison you. If you don't mind the saliva, I can taste a few bites for you."

"Hmph, put it down."

Yekura's gaze swept over the food box and Mikami Yu's face a few times before she finally reached out and took the food: "Where's the promised analysis data?"

"Look at you, always in such a hurry."

Mikami said slowly and deliberately, "Don't worry, Rin and I are already working hard on the analysis. We'll have a version ready in a few days. You can eat slowly. I'm leaving now."

With that, Mikami Yu waved his hand and turned to leave.

Left alone, Yekura leaned against the cold wall, glanced at the food box in front of her, then picked up a piece of grilled meat and took a small bite. As the warm food slid into her stomach, the orange-haired girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and a long-lost sense of peace called "being alive" quietly arose in her heart.

"Hmph, as expected, a born evil brat from Konoha."

"However—the taste is not bad."

Time flew by and it was the next morning.

Around nine o'clock, the four members of the Water Gate Squad gathered at the training ground behind the base.

After waiting for a while, Jiraiya finally arrived late.

The latter walked to the center of the open space with his hands behind his back. His red coat swayed gently in the breeze. He glanced at Mikami Yu and the others, and his expression looked much more serious than last night: "Ahem, you're right on time, kids. I said yesterday that I would teach you something. Now it's time for this immortal to fulfill his promise."

"Watch closely, this technique is called the 'Disordering Lion's Mane Technique'!"

-

As he spoke, Jiraiya slowly formed hand seals. After four or five hand seals, his wild and unruly white hair suddenly grew and hardened, like giant silver pythons with life, or like a giant hand, grabbing at a training boulder more than ten meters away with a whooshing sound!

Whoosh—!

The boulder, wrapped in hair, was lifted from the ground and then gradually crushed by the tightening hair, turning into large and small fragments that scattered everywhere, instantly filling the air with dust.

Wow!

Obito exclaimed in surprise.

Compared to the defensive "Needle Jizo," the offensive "Chaotic Lion's Mane" is clearly more effective.

Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin also opened their eyes wide and observed carefully.

"Did you see that?"

Jiraiya dispelled the technique, restoring his long hair to its original state, and then said with no small amount of pride, "This technique is based on the same principle as the 'Needle Jizo' technique I gave you last time in the form of a scroll. Both utilize chakra to instantly stimulate the hair, causing it to harden and lengthen."

Easy to control, combining offense and defense!

"Now, I'll break down the hand seals and chakra circulation for you. Remember them well."

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya."

According to the ninja world's classification, "Chaotic Lion's Mane" and "Needle Jizo" should belong to the Yang Release series, and are quite similar to the Akimichi clan's Body Expansion Technique, with a bit of a "revitalization" feel to them.

Such a technique requires a certain level of aptitude to master.

Yu Mikami is naturally no problem.

Even disregarding the fact that "Tangled Lion's Mane" is merely a new skin for "Transformation" in the local system, even without that factor, it wouldn't be too difficult for Mikami Yu to learn and practice this technique in a normal way. After all, he already has the foundation of "Needle Jizo".

At that moment, Yu Mikami tried a few times and then stretched out a strand of white hair, which coiled up a small stone at his feet like a snake, and then crushed it into pieces.

"—As expected of you, Yu, you learned it so quickly!"

Obito's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "Teach me quickly, how do you use this technique?!"

"Don't you have the Sharingan? Why don't you just activate it and make a copy?"

Yu Mikami said casually.

"what?"

Obito was taken aback: "The Sharingan has this ability?"

Yu Mikami: "?"

Goodness! Yu Mikami exclaimed, "Goodness!"

It's been about a week since Obito awakened his Sharingan, and he's been training with Kakashi in the woods every day, but he doesn't know any genjutsu, and he doesn't even understand the copying function—so what exactly has he been training for? Did he go and peek at "Icha Icha Paradise" with Kakashi?

However, Yu Mikami's heart skipped a beat—yes, the Sharingan can copy ninjutsu.

While bloodline limits and advanced forbidden techniques cannot be copied casually, theoretically, the vast majority of elemental ninjutsu and taijutsu fall within the Sharingan's copying range. So—can my own ninjutsu with activated "specialties" be copied?

The chances are slim.

After all, Yu Mikami had tried to teach Rin Nohara the "corner version of the Three-Body Technique" and confirmed that it didn't work.

However, I still need to take some time to check, in case Obito raids my base.

the other side.

Kakashi and Rin Nohara also tried it out, and after a few attempts, they successfully made their hair move. However, they couldn't yet make it as flexible as Yu Mikami, nor could they easily cut through rocks like Jiraiya.

Kakashi tried it a few times, but felt that the technique didn't quite fit his combat system, so he stopped studying it seriously.

Rin Nohara raised her hand and asked Jiraiya a few questions, which he readily answered.

The atmosphere of the exchange at the scene seemed to be quite good.

Mikami Yu turned his gaze to Jiraiya, adopting an eager expression: "Lord Jiraiya, could you perhaps show us that 'Transparent Release' technique you mentioned yesterday? It sounds like a very practical ninjutsu."

"Pfft—cough cough cough!"

Jiraiya was just about to take a sip of water to moisten his throat when he heard this and almost choked. He coughed violently for a moment, his old face slightly red: "This technique is too early for you. You are all still young. You should focus your minds on the right path. It would be bad if it affected your development. Let's talk about it in a few years."

"?"

Mikami Yu feigned ignorance: "What do you mean? Isn't this 'Transparent Release' a ninjutsu used for infiltration and intelligence gathering? What does it have to do with age? Could it be that Jiraiya-sama developed this technique for some other purpose?"

"?"

Jiraiya stared wide-eyed at Mikami Yu's "innocent" expression, unable to tell for a moment whether the kid in front of him was genuinely ignorant or just pretending to be confused.

Beside him, Obito scratched his head, "I don't know what you mean, but 'Transmission' must be really powerful, Jiraiya-sama! Please show me!"

,

Jiraiya looked at the three "clear and innocent" little faces in front of him and felt immense pressure.

Now that things have come to this point, he couldn't very well admit in front of the younger generation that he mainly used this technique to spy on women in the bathhouse, could he? That would tarnish his imposing image—

"Ahem, you're right!"

Jiraiya forced a smile and said, "That's right, this technique is indeed a ninjutsu used for intelligence gathering! In ninja battles, intelligence is the most important thing; it can often determine the outcome of a battle, or even a campaign. Therefore, overly flamboyant ninjas often die very quickly—"

"I'll demonstrate it for you now! Whether you can learn it or not is up to you."

At that moment, Jiraiya took a deep breath and formed a series of rather complex and dazzling hand seals—Tiger—Snake—

Hai—Mao—You! As this series of hand seals was completed, chakra flowed over his entire body like a fine stream.

next moment.

Jiraiya's body began to blur and become transparent, as if a layer of flowing water had been covering his surface. Light passing through this water film underwent strange refraction, resulting in the effect that Jiraiya seemed to have merged into the air, leaving only a blurry humanoid outline.

"Wow!!"

This time, not only Obito, but also Kakashi and Rin Nohara widened their eyes in surprise.

Obito reached out and tried to touch the "human-shaped outline": "Wow! It's almost invisible!"

Can you put your hand through it?

Snapped!

Jiraiya slapped Obito's hand away and said irritably, "You idiot, do you think this technique makes someone physically disappear? It just makes them invisible; they're still in the same place. As far as I know, no ninja has ever been able to physically erase their own body using ninjutsu."

"Yeah----"

Obito muttered to himself, the two black tomoe in his eyes darting around—that's right, after Mikami Yu's reminder, he had now activated his Sharingan. When Jiraiya was using the technique, he had been carefully observing, trying to capture the flow of the other's chakra.

next to.

Yu Mikami frowned slightly, noticing the ripples that appeared around him when Jiraiya raised his hand: "This technique, can it only achieve visual invisibility when one is completely still?"

"More or less."

Jiraiya's voice came from the air, with a faint echo: "The so-called Transparent Release is essentially a visual deception achieved by spreading chakra across the body's surface and distorting the surrounding light. Like the Transformation Technique, its effect is limited to the visual level."

"When the user makes large body movements, or encounters sensory ninjutsu, or bloodline limits that can enhance perception, such as the Byakugan and Sharingan, it will be easy to be exposed, so don't think you can do whatever you want with it."

(So ​​that's why you were caught spying in the first place?)

Yu Mikami thought to himself, but his face remained expressionless.

It seems that the effect of "penetrating" is about what he expected.

If I remember correctly, Konoha had another ninja in charge, Hayate Gekko, who was a few years younger than him and Kakashi. The latter once used this method to follow and eavesdrop on a conversation between Sunagakure Jonin Baki and others, but he was discovered when he left and was then killed.

So that's how it is—

The best place to use this technique is indeed to peep into women's bathhouses.

After all, most of the people in the women's bathhouse are civilians or ordinary ninjas. In that kind of situation, they are usually not very wary. As long as the person using "Transparent Escape" is careful and doesn't get carried away, it is difficult to detect anything amiss.

On the contrary, using it in combat is quite risky; it is only a slightly special stealth method.

Having realized this, Mikami Yu took a deep breath, not feeling disappointed, but instead turning his attention to something else:

Come on, let me see your limits, Corner System!

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