Naruto: Saving the Uchiha from the Plunder System Chapter 23

This guy really made people want to go crazy.

Boom!

As the Explosive Tag detonated, Uchiha Mirai's eyes snapped open, and his figure vanished from the spot.

The next second.

Several screams rang out, followed by the Plunder System's notifications in Uchiha Mirai's mind.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully plundering the reward: Chakra +1!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully plundering the reward: Mental Power +1!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully plundering the reward: Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere!

Looking at the three Sunagakure Genin before him, Uchiha Mirai sheathed the long blade in his hand.

Just killing three Genin had earned him three rewards in a row.

Sure enough.

The battlefield was the place that suited him best.

Against his Three Tomoe Sharingan, ordinary Genin and Chunin could only be instantly killed.

And on the battlefield, ninety percent of the forces were Genin and Chunin.

With the Eight Gates Formation as his trump card, as long as he did not encounter a Kage-level powerhouse or get surrounded, Uchiha Mirai would be unlikely to face any mortal danger.

"Mirai, could you stop rushing ahead so quickly every time? At least give us a chance, will you?"

Having finally caught up only to find that all the enemies were already dead, Asuma Sarutobi could not help complaining.

"War is no game."

"Asuma, dispose of the bodies."

Uchiha Mirai turned and left.

Every person he killed represented a reward. How could he possibly hand over such opportunities to grow stronger to someone else?

"Hmph!"

Asuma Sarutobi gave an unhappy snort, but he still obediently began cleaning up the battlefield as Uchiha Mirai had ordered.

Over the past few days, Uchiha Mirai's ruthlessness had been displayed to the fullest.

He had never left anyone alive.

His authority grew heavier by the day.

Even Asuma Sarutobi did not dare provoke Uchiha Mirai lightly.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Along the way, they encountered five attacks from hostile ninja squads.

They were all Sunagakure ninja.

However, these squads were all reconnaissance teams made up of Genin and Chunin. There was no need for Minato Namikaze or Shinku Yuhi to step in—Uchiha Mirai, Kakashi Hatake, and the others could handle them easily.

When they arrived at the frontline headquarters.

After handing over the supplies to the frontline officer in charge, Shikaku Nara, Uchiha Mirai and the others remained at the frontlines.

The conflicts along the border had been growing increasingly intense lately. Their main responsibility was to eliminate Sunagakure squads that had infiltrated the Land of Fire.

After briefly arranging their accommodations and duties, Uchiha Mirai pulled Minato Namikaze to the training grounds.

He had agreed to Minato Namikaze's request to guide Kakashi Hatake in his spare time. In exchange, Minato Namikaze needed to spar with him once a day.

"Mirai, you really are impatient."

Seeing Uchiha Mirai's eager expression, Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly.

They had traveled for so long. Shouldn't he at least be allowed to eat something and rest before discussing sparring?

"Enough nonsense."

"We couldn't fight during the escort mission. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

Uchiha Mirai said as if it were only natural.

In the eyes of someone with the Plunder System, Minato Namikaze was covered from head to toe in treasures. Uchiha Mirai could not wait another second.

Hearing Uchiha Mirai's words, Minato Namikaze could only set aside his own thoughts. His expression turned serious as well. "Mirai, then you'd better be careful."

He also wanted to see just how powerful this unprecedented genius ninja truly was!

Looking at Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Mirai was equally excited.

The chance to fight a powerhouse of this level was not something just anyone could get!

What's more...

He had the Plunder System. Perhaps he could obtain some unexpected reward!

"Wind Style: Wind Blade!"

Uchiha Mirai formed hand seals with both hands and unleashed several sharp wind blades at Minato Namikaze.

He did not choose to use the Uchiha Clan's most proficient Fire Style ninjutsu.

After all...

With Minato Namikaze's speed, Fire Style ninjutsu would have difficulty harming him. Instead, it would obstruct his own vision, making it more trouble than it was worth.

Facing the incoming wind blades, Minato Namikaze's figure flashed and vanished from where he stood.

The next second, a specially made kunai thrust toward Uchiha Mirai's neck.

A crisp metallic clang rang out. Uchiha Mirai drew the long blade at his waist and blocked Minato Namikaze's attack, while his Three Tomoe Sharingan began spinning rapidly.

The two exchanged blows at high speed. Minato Namikaze was incredibly fast, but with the Sharingan's enhancement, Uchiha Mirai was still able to block every one of his attacks.

"Is this the strength of a Kage-level powerhouse?"

Feeling pressure he had not experienced in a long time, Uchiha Mirai went all out. The three tomoe in his eyes spun at breakneck speed.

"Genjutsu: Binding Kill!"

Before his words had even faded, Minato Namikaze vanished once more.

"That reaction speed... isn't that a bit unfair?"

Watching Minato Namikaze react almost instantly, Uchiha Mirai could not help muttering to himself.

Sharingan genjutsu was instantaneous.

He had set it up for so long, yet the other man had still reacted to it with ease.

All he could say was, as expected of the fastest man in the Hokage.

Uchiha Mirai did not know that Minato Namikaze was equally shaken inside.

Although he had long prepared himself mentally, Uchiha Mirai's performance still left him greatly astonished.

The strength his opponent displayed had already surpassed that of an ordinary Jonin.

Especially that exquisite swordsmanship... it was practically as though he had been tempered through countless battles. It did not resemble something a Genin who had graduated from the Ninja Academy less than a year ago could possibly wield.

Combined with the Three Tomoe Sharingan's genjutsu and perception...

He was absurdly strong.

Most importantly, Uchiha Mirai was not even thirteen yet!

A boy under thirteen possessing strength beyond that of an ordinary Jonin...

If word got out, the entire Shinobi World would probably be shocked!

He had been called a genius since childhood as well, but before Uchiha Mirai, he suddenly felt ashamed.

Compared to him, what kind of genius was he?

"Hey, hey! Getting distracted in battle isn't a good habit."

Uchiha Mirai launched a full-force assault on Minato Namikaze.

He was excited now.

Ever since obtaining the system, this was the first time he had fought with all his strength.

He could feel that the power hidden within his body was becoming increasingly easy to control.

"Chidori!"

Uchiha Mirai's figure turned into a streak of blue lightning as he charged toward Minato Namikaze.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Watching the trees collapse with a thunderous crash, Minato Namikaze wore a wry smile. "Mirai, we're just sparring. You don't have to be so serious, do you?"

"It wouldn't hurt you anyway."

Uchiha Mirai complained, giving up on continuing the battle.

Without opening the Eight Gates Formation, his speed posed little threat to Minato Namikaze.

On the other hand, if Minato Namikaze went all out, he would probably be defeated before long.

The man who would earn the reputation of "if you encounter the Yellow Flash, you may abandon the mission unconditionally" was indeed absurdly powerful.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully plundering the reward: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Hearing the system prompt, Uchiha Mirai sighed in disappointment.

Though it was a decent ninjutsu, it was far from his goal.

"Minato, we'll continue tomorrow."

"Got it."

After making the arrangement with Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Mirai waved toward Kakashi Hatake, who had been watching from the side with his jaw hanging open.

"Hm?"

"Come over here. Let me beat you up."

For five days straight.

Every day, without fail, Uchiha Mirai sparred with Minato Namikaze.

The rewards he received each day were different as well.

On the first day, he obtained the "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu."

On the second day, he received the "Four Symbols Seal."

The third day brought him a small boost to his physique.

On the fourth day, he received the reward "Rasengan."

Although they were all quite good rewards, they still fell far short of Uchiha Mirai's expectations.

What he wanted was a reward like the "Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Hmph! I refuse to believe it'll never drop."

As a new day began, Uchiha Mirai looked at Minato Namikaze before him and charged forward once more.

After training against Minato Namikaze these past few days, Uchiha Mirai had improved tremendously.
