Chidori!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing three Chunin. You have been awarded 6,000 points. Please check your account!"

Hearing the system's prompt, Mirai Uchiha was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected these three unlucky fellows to actually be Chunin, but seeing that they were at least in their twenties, he felt relieved; it was quite normal for someone in their twenties to be a Chunin.

The Second Shinobi World War had just ended. Over the past few years, due to the war, many shinobi had not been able to participate in the Chunin Exams. They possessed the strength of a Chunin but lacked the official title. Now that Konoha was holding the Chunin Exams, these guys had naturally flocked to participate. It was likely that among the examinees this time, aside from a few geniuses, most of the older shinobi possessed the strength of a Chunin.

Slaughtering three unlucky ambushers had earned Mirai Uchiha 6,000 points, which was an unexpected windfall. If he killed a few more Chunin, wouldn't he quickly reach 10,000 points? By then, he could exchange for a powerful ocular jutsu or an offensive Ninjutsu, and his strength would surely increase significantly.

"Sunagakure scum, are you ready?" Mirai Uchiha revealed a faint smile, then leaped onto a tree trunk and sped off in the direction the two Sunagakure shinobi had gone.

"Boss, why hasn't the third one caught up yet? Could something have happened to him?"

While moving forward, the second of the Sunagakure shinobi felt that something was increasingly wrong. That eagle from earlier had appeared too suddenly, and he had never heard of an eagle attacking people on its own unless it was controlled or a summoning beast raised by someone else.

"Hmph, that guy is probably already finished!" the boss said in a low voice. He didn't need anyone to remind him; he had already had this premonition a few minutes ago. Now that he thought about it, the eagle's eyes seemed to have tomoe—it was the Mangekyo Sharingan, clearly controlled by someone from the Uchiha Clan.

"Are you saying that Mirai Uchiha killed him?" The lean Sunagakure shinobi found it hard to believe. How old was this Mirai Uchiha? According to the descriptions from Chiyo and the Third Kazekage, Mirai Uchiha was only nine years old today. A nine-year-old killing a Jonin? Wasn't that absurd?

"I'm only guessing, but don't underestimate the opponent just because he's young. There are too many shinobi in the world, and geniuses are not rare, especially in Konoha. Have they produced few geniuses?" The boss snorted coldly. Although it was suspected that his subordinate had been killed, he didn't feel particularly sad. Over the years, he had seen too many dead people; on the battlefield, the number of fallen comrades was countless.

"I understand!" The lean Sunagakure shinobi nodded, his expression unchanged.

The two moved quickly, following their original plan to reach the area in front of the Central Tower to intercept Mirai Uchiha.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing two Chunin and one elite Genin. You have been awarded 5,000 points. Please check your account!"

After finding the scroll from this group, Mirai Uchiha heard the system prompt. With 5,000 points added to his previous total, Mirai Uchiha now had 12,000 points, enough to exchange for another ocular jutsu.

"Earth Scroll!" Mirai Uchiha grinned slightly. He already had the Heaven Scroll, and now that he had obtained the Earth Scroll, he had a complete set. As long as he killed the other two Jonin from Sunagakure, he could directly rendezvous with Minato Namikaze and Kushina.

After putting the scrolls away, Mirai Uchiha turned his attention back to his points. He now had 12,000 points, and exchanging for an ocular jutsu only required 10,000.

"No, although the Mangekyo Sharingan ocular jutsus are powerful, they also have significant side effects. They should be used as trump cards and finishing moves. For now, Kamui is enough. I should exchange for a powerful offensive Ninjutsu instead!"

Mirai Uchiha possessed both Lightning and Fire natures, but he had only ever studied Fire Release. Although the Uchiha Clan had Lightning Release Ninjutsu, most were only C-rank or B-rank. Mirai Uchiha naturally wouldn't bother training in those. Now that he had points to exchange, he could consider Lightning Release. Although the Uchiha Clan were experts at playing with fire, Fire Release ultimately lacked a bit of impact compared to Lightning Release. Furthermore, the hand seals for Fire Release were extremely complex, and the targets were large, making it easy for people to escape—for example, the Great Fireball Technique, which basically never hit anyone.

"As for Lightning Release, the Chidori that Kakashi uses in the future has good power, and with my Sharingan, I can control it perfectly!" Mirai Uchiha rubbed his chin. Once he had an idea, he didn't hesitate and immediately spent 10,000 points to exchange for Chidori.

"Chidori: S-rank. Possesses powerful piercing ability. When attacking, it activates the user's cells, pushing their speed to the limit!"

No wonder in the original story, Kakashi couldn't use it before he had the Sharingan. Even though he created it himself, the power was clearly beyond what Kakashi could handle. If not for the Sharingan gifted by Obito later, this Lightning Release Ninjutsu would probably only be usable by members of the Uchiha Clan.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

After exchanging for Chidori, Mirai Uchiha began to test it. Suddenly, the sound of thunder rang out, like a thousand birds chirping, and a mass of blue lightning appeared on Mirai Uchiha's right hand.

"Sharingan!"

Using the Sharingan to lock onto a large tree not far ahead, Mirai Uchiha lunged forward. Stimulated by the lightning, his speed increased more than threefold. In just a few breaths, he crossed dozens of meters, his right hand piercing directly through a tree that would have required two people to embrace. The thunderous sound then vanished.

"The power is indeed good. Now that I have this Chidori and the Mangekyo Sharingan, even an elite Jonin poses no threat to me!" Mirai Uchiha nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the attack power of Chidori. Although it didn't seem to have the grand scale of Fire Release, Chidori focused on piercing power and lethality. In terms of single-target attacks, the power of Majestic Destroyer Flame couldn't even compare to half of Chidori.

After testing Chidori, Mirai Uchiha didn't linger and continued to pursue the Sunagakure shinobi. He hadn't stayed here to hunt others for points; it was just that these three had been blind enough to try and steal his scrolls. Instead of getting the scrolls, they had ended up gifting him 5,000 points.

Thump!

The two Sunagakure shinobi stopped, standing on a tree trunk. Not far ahead, a tower could be vaguely seen—that was the Central Tower of the Forest of Death. Examinees only needed to collect a pair of scrolls and bring them to the Central Tower to complete the exam.

"This is the only path to the Central Tower. We'll set an ambush here and kill Mirai Uchiha the moment he arrives!"
