Naruto: Saving the Uchiha from the Plunder System Chapter 2

But the next second, he saw Uchiha Mirai crouch low.

A powerful sweeping kick followed.

Having lost his balance, Asuma Sarutobi was sent airborne, suspended horizontally in midair.

"So fast!!!"

Asuma Sarutobi's heart jolted. Before he could react, Uchiha Mirai's front kick slammed viciously into his chest.

After a dull thud, Asuma Sarutobi screamed as he flew several meters away and crashed hard onto the ground.

"Too weak."

"Is this what gives you the confidence to run your mouth?"

Looking at Asuma Sarutobi sprawled on the ground, Uchiha Mirai snorted softly.

After teaching Asuma Sarutobi a lesson, his mood improved considerably.

He dusted himself off and walked in another direction without even sparing Asuma Sarutobi a glance.

"Please wait!"

"What is it?"

Uchiha Mirai turned his gaze toward Kurenai Yuhi, who had called out to him.

"Thank you."

Seeing the sincerity in Kurenai Yuhi's eyes, Uchiha Mirai stopped. "The people who give you trouble won't let you off just because you're afraid or weak."

"Remember." Uchiha Mirai patted Kurenai Yuhi on the shoulder. "If you run into something like this again, be like me..."

Before Uchiha Mirai could finish, a mechanical notification suddenly rang out in his mind.

Congratulations, Host. You have awakened the Plunder System.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully plundered a reward: Physique +1!

My God, What a Treasure of a Boy?

Hearing the mechanical voice in his head, Uchiha Mirai froze on the spot.

As a transmigrator, he knew all too well what that voice in his mind meant.

A system!

It was a system!

Ten years after transmigrating into this world, the system he had longed for had finally appeared!

Uchiha Mirai had no doubt that he was hearing things.

Because—

Right before his eyes—

A translucent light-blue panel floated into view.

Name: Uchiha Mirai

Physique: 8

Mental Power: 20

Chakra: 7

Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan

Ninjutsu: Clone Technique, Transformation Jutsu, Body Flicker Technique, Shadow Clone Jutsu, Earth Style: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique, Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu

Other: Shurikenjutsu, Trap Setting

"Are... are you okay?"

Seeing Uchiha Mirai standing motionlessly while gripping her shoulder, Kurenai Yuhi could not help asking worriedly.

Uchiha Mirai came back to his senses. Looking at Kurenai Yuhi, who resembled a porcelain doll, an excited smile appeared on his face.

Ruby-like eyes, slightly chubby cheeks...

How had he never noticed before that little Kurenai was this adorable?

Overcome with excitement, Uchiha Mirai could not help cupping Kurenai Yuhi's head in both hands and kissing her on the forehead.

She was his lucky star!

After all—

In the world of Naruto—

The early game relied on talent, the mid-game relied on bloodlines, and the late game relied on cheats.

With a system, wouldn't he be taking off?

"Uchiha Mirai... you damn bastard!!!"

Having only just recovered and climbed to his feet, Asuma Sarutobi opened his eyes to see Uchiha Mirai kiss his goddess. His vision immediately went black, and he fainted from rage.

He had never even touched Kurenai's hand, yet Uchiha Mirai had gone straight in for a kiss!

Right in front of him!

Asuma Sarutobi felt like he was falling apart.

"Ah!"

"Y-you, you, you..."

Kurenai Yuhi staggered back two steps, pointed at Uchiha Mirai with a flushed face, and found herself unable to speak.

She...

Had been kissed?

"I just remembered there's a cat waiting to discuss the meaning of life with me. I'll be going now."

"You... you huge bastard!"

Watching Uchiha Mirai's retreating back, Kurenai Yuhi trembled with rage.

Discussing the meaning of life with a cat?

Even if he was making up an excuse, couldn't he at least come up with a decent one?!

He was absolutely unreasonable! Unforgivable!

After glancing at Asuma Sarutobi lying on the ground, Kurenai Yuhi stomped her foot and gritted her teeth before chasing after Uchiha Mirai.

After turning left and right through the streets, Uchiha Mirai stopped at the edge of the village and looked back.

The moment he turned around, Kurenai Yuhi, who had been following behind him, immediately puffed out her cheeks.

So cute.

Uchiha Mirai couldn't help but marvel.

Though he wanted to find somewhere quiet and study the system right away, seeing Kurenai Yuhi following him the whole time, Uchiha Mirai forcibly calmed himself down.

"We're about to enter the clan grounds. Come over here."

Seeing Uchiha Mirai wave at her, Kurenai Yuhi's little face reddened, but she inexplicably jogged over.

She did not know why she had followed Uchiha Mirai either.

She simply felt that since he had taken advantage of her, she absolutely could not pretend nothing had happened.

All the way there, Kurenai Yuhi kept her head lowered as she felt the gazes of the Uchiha Clan members upon her.

Everyone in the village said that the Uchiha Clan was extremely xenophobic and difficult to get along with.

If Uchiha Mirai had not been with her, Kurenai Yuhi would never have dared to come to Uchiha Clan territory alone.

"Be careful. Don't trigger any traps."

Uchiha Mirai reminded her when they arrived before a residence.

"There are traps set up even in his own home?"

Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat surprised.

She tried her best to widen her eyes and search, yet she could not sense the presence of any traps at all.

Thinking of how Uchiha Mirai had effortlessly defeated Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi could not help clicking her tongue in amazement.

Her classmate truly deserved the title of "genius."

Perhaps, Only Kakashi Hatake among their classmates could surpass him?

When they entered the courtyard, Kurenai Yuhi's expression became somewhat puzzled.

Unlike the courtyards she had seen before, which were filled with all sorts of beautiful flowers, this one was planted with many unfamiliar plants.

"Those are vegetables."

As though he had eyes on the back of his head, Uchiha Mirai took the initiative to explain.

Hearing that, Kurenai Yuhi looked around, her gaze filled with curiosity.

Were the vegetables she ate every day grown from these plants?

"Follow in my footsteps. Don't get distracted."

"S-sorry."

Kurenai Yuhi apologized instinctively.

She had nearly forgotten—there were traps set up here!

Carefully following Uchiha Mirai's footsteps into the living room, Kurenai Yuhi let out a sigh of relief, feeling inexplicably excited.

Why did this feel so thrilling?

She looked around.

A very old-fashioned house.

Aside from the necessary furniture, there was almost nothing extra. Even the floor was spotless.

It was clear that the owner of the house had to be a very neat and efficient person.

Kurenai Yuhi's opinion of Uchiha Mirai rose a few notches.

—Uchiha Mirai was an orphan, so he must have taken care of the room himself.

"I'm truly sorry about what happened today. I don't know what came over me at the time—I just got carried away and did something out of line."

"What do you want me to do? I'll do my best to satisfy you."

Uchiha Mirai sat across from Kurenai Yuhi and spoke first.

"Huh?"

Kurenai Yuhi was momentarily at a loss.

She had never intended to ask Uchiha Mirai for any compensation, and after coming to his home, she had even less of such an intention.

Someone who had filled his yard with vegetables probably lived a very tight life, right?

Besides, he had helped her teach that guy Asuma a lesson...

As for him kissing her, she would just pretend it had never happened.

But...
