Naruto: Saving the Uchiha from the Plunder System Chapter 17

A total of sixteen attribute points, and he had even plundered a Wind Release ninjutsu: Great Breakthrough.

That was equivalent to half a month's worth of battle rewards.

"Phew~"

Feeling the surge of power within him, Uchiha Mirai took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

It was true that he wanted to become stronger, but unless he was driven into a desperate situation, Uchiha Mirai had no intention of laying hands on innocent people.

Otherwise, he feared he would become a machine that knew only slaughter.

If he killed, he would only kill enemies who opposed him.

He needed the system to gain power, but that did not mean he had to become its slave.

Having made his decision, Uchiha Mirai began to consider the path ahead of him.

Originally, he had planned to quietly develop during the upcoming Third Shinobi World War, but what had happened today changed his mind.

Since there was no limit to the number of rewards he could plunder through killing, it would be far too wasteful not to take advantage of the Third Shinobi World War to rapidly increase his strength.

"I wonder whether killing White Zetsu can trigger plunder rewards."

If he could gain rewards from killing White Zetsu as well, that would be perfect.

A hundred thousand White Zetsu... how many rewards would that bring?!

Most importantly, White Zetsu were different from humans.

Even if he killed every last one of them, he would not feel the slightest psychological burden.

For some reason, Uchiha Mirai suddenly thought of a line that suited him perfectly.

I bloom amid slaughter, like a flower in the dawn.

One day, his name would be sung throughout the entire shinobi world.

Konoha.

After submitting their mission report, Uchiha Mirai and the others received the seventy-thousand-ryo reward.

Shinku Yuhi received forty thousand ryo, while the remaining thirty thousand was split equally among Uchiha Mirai and the other two.

After parting ways with Shinku Yuhi and the others, Uchiha Mirai bought some fresh meat and headed toward the Uchiha compound.

The moment he entered the compound, he saw a young man with bandages wrapped around his arm helping an elderly woman cross the street.

The young man wore goggles, but Uchiha Mirai still easily noticed the dark bruising around his eye.

"Yo~"

"Obito, it's only been a few days. What kind of look is that?"

Hearing Uchiha Mirai's voice, Obito Uchiha's face filled with anger. "Uchiha Mirai, you bastard, quit making sarcastic remarks."

"This is this great man's ninja badge of honor."

The last time he had taken on a mission to eliminate mountain bandits, Obito Uchiha had recklessly charged in and become surrounded by them.

If not for Minato Namikaze, he would have been chopped into minced meat.

But that did not stop Obito Uchiha from viewing the injuries on his body as a source of pride.

During the time he could not train, he wandered around the village every day.

He wanted everyone to see that he, Obito Uchiha, was also an outstanding ninja who had faced life and death.

"Ah~ So it's a ninja badge of honor. That's certainly unique."

Uchiha Mirai gave him a thumbs-up. "Too bad I don't have a trophy, or I'd definitely give you an award."

"Ah! Uchiha Mirai! I'm going to kill you!"

Seeing how furious Obito Uchiha was, the elderly woman beside him smiled helplessly. "Mirai, don't bully Obito."

"He's a very kind child."

Hearing the old woman's words, Uchiha Mirai merely shrugged noncommittally.

"I wasn't bullying him. I was just saying hello, yet he put on a face like he wanted to kill me."

"Ahhh!!! Bastard! I'm so mad I could die!"

Obito Uchiha stomped his feet in rage.

For some reason, whenever he exchanged more than a few words with Uchiha Mirai, he could no longer control his temper.

"A ninja who can't even control his own temper will die a miserable death, you know~"

After giving Obito Uchiha a jab, Uchiha Mirai turned and left.

He truly did not have the slightest favorable impression of this man who would one day choose to kill his own teacher and teacher's wife, then personally destroy his own clan.

A complete madman.

In fact...

If he had not awakened the Plunder System, Uchiha Mirai probably would have already been looking for an opportunity to make a move against Obito Uchiha.

Back home.

After skillfully preparing the ingredients, Uchiha Mirai made himself several delicious dishes.

Vinegar Cabbage, spicy chicken, Twice-Cooked Pork, Dongpo Pork, and an entire rack of lamb roasted to perfection.

The table was completely packed.

After roughing it outdoors for so long, he had been craving proper food badly.

Soldier Pills really were not fit for human consumption.

After stuffing himself, Uchiha Mirai lay contentedly on his bed.

His greatest gain this time was not the dozen or so attribute points he had obtained from killing bandits, but learning a way to rapidly increase his strength through slaughter.

The Shinobi World now had the feeling of a storm brewing.

Before the Shinobi World descended into chaos once more, he had to make good use of this time to improve his strength.

He could not stop taking missions!

Strengthening His Power, Kakashi Brought Guy to His Doorstep

Time flew by.

Another two months passed in the blink of an eye.

During those two months, Uchiha Mirai had not rested for a single day.

Accepting missions, carrying out missions...

He was like a tireless machine.

His reputation gradually spread throughout the village as well.

Nearly every Konoha ninja knew that a mission maniac had emerged among Konoha's newly promoted Genin.

While they were carrying out missions, Kurenai Yuhi had repeatedly tried to indirectly ask Uchiha Mirai whether he was short on money, saying that she could have her father lend him some.

After getting nowhere despite asking several times, Kurenai Yuhi could only helplessly give up and remind Uchiha Mirai to be careful while carrying out missions.

Though the high-intensity missions left Uchiha Mirai exhausted, his gains were equally substantial.

Over the two months, aside from the rewards triggered by daily sparring, he had obtained a total of 140 attribute points.

Thanks to his efforts, bandit activity within the Land of Fire had noticeably decreased.

Name: Uchiha Mirai

Constitution: 105

Mental Power: 92

Chakra: 59

Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan

Ninjutsu: ...

Other: ...

Looking at his attribute panel, Uchiha Mirai revealed a satisfied smile.

After accumulating strength over this period, his physical capabilities had increased severalfold.

Though he still looked like a teenager, whether in strength, speed, or endurance, he was no weaker than a Jonin.

As for his Mental Power, Uchiha Mirai could feel that his Sharingan was already faintly showing signs of evolving once again.

Before long, it would likely evolve into the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

By comparison, his Chakra had not increased all that much.

But there was nothing he could do about that. Most of his attribute points came from rewards for killing bandits, and since most bandits were ordinary people, the attributes he plundered were mainly Constitution and Mental Power.

"With my current strength, if I faced Kakashi Hatake again, I should be able to crush him directly."

Uchiha Mirai thought to himself.

Early on, Kakashi Hatake was probably among the most gifted ninjas, yet compared to him, he still fell far short.

Most importantly...

No matter how exceptional one's talent was, after passing the early period of rapid growth, one would enter a stable phase.

Aside from Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, Nagato, and the others were all like this.

Taking another step forward could be said to be as difficult as climbing Mount Tai.

But he had no such concerns. As long as he continued plundering attribute points, his strength could continue to grow.

This—was the charm of adding points!

Unfortunately, there had been no bandit missions lately, while higher-difficulty missions required a ninja team to carry them out together.

Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi clearly did not yet possess that level of strength.

So... for the next while, he would probably have to slow his pace down a little.

Uchiha Mirai did not dwell on it too much.

After his strength had increased, he needed some time to adapt to it as well.

Otherwise, he would be like Kaguya Otsutsuki—possessing immense power but not knowing how to use it. That would be a complete waste.

A knock sounded at the door, pulling Uchiha Mirai's thoughts back to reality.

"Kakashi?"

Seeing the white-haired boy standing outside, Uchiha Mirai looked somewhat surprised.

Why did he feel like Kakashi was looking at him with such resentment?

"If I can't defeat you, then I'm not qualified to challenge you?"

Kakashi Hatake looked at Uchiha Mirai as he spoke, making no attempt to hide the displeasure in his tone.

Only then did Uchiha Mirai notice Might Guy, dressed in a green bodysuit, standing awkwardly off to one side outside the door.

"Hehehe..."

"Mirai, Kakashi insisted on dragging me here to see you."

Looking at the two of them, Uchiha Mirai more or less understood.

Kakashi had probably heard about his conversation with Might Duy in the Mission Hall last time, which was why he had come knocking with Might Guy.
