Naruto: Saving the Uchiha from the Plunder System Chapter 24

It was not that his strength had improved by much, but that his control over his own power had become more proficient.

After sparring for over ten minutes, Minato Namikaze used the Body Flicker Technique as usual and withdrew from the battlefield.

"Mirai, your progress is truly astonishing."

"One day, you'll definitely become an exceptionally outstanding ninja."

Minato Namikaze said as he looked at Uchiha Mirai.

The power Mirai displayed now was already enough for him to become a ninja capable of standing on his own.

Minato Namikaze was very pleased.

Now that the village had produced so many outstanding juniors, once they grew up, those ambitious schemers from the other countries should settle down.

However, Uchiha Mirai did not answer Minato Namikaze. His attention had been completely drawn by the system notification in his mind.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully plundering the reward: Flying Thunder God Technique!

Name: Uchiha Mirai

Constitution: 120

Mental Power: 105

Chakra: 78

Bloodline Limit: Sharingan

Ninjutsu: ...Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere, Lightning Style: Chidori, Flying Thunder God Technique!

Other: ...Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu, Four Symbols Seal!

The Flying Thunder God Technique he had longed for... he had finally obtained it!

"Mirai?"

Seeing Uchiha Mirai standing there in a daze, Minato Namikaze walked over, stretched out a hand, and waved it in front of him.

"Cough... it's nothing. Let's stop here for today."

Uchiha Mirai came back to his senses and forced a smile onto his face.

Right now, he only wanted to quickly find somewhere deserted and experience the reward he had just received.

"Huh?"

"You're not going to beat Kakashi up today?"

Minato Namikaze asked in surprise.

In the past, after every sparring session, Uchiha Mirai would choose to fight Kakashi Hatake.

What was going on today?

Hearing Minato Namikaze's words, Uchiha Mirai turned his gaze toward Kakashi Hatake, who was waiting nearby, and beckoned to him.

Kakashi Hatake walked over, somewhat puzzled.

Then Uchiha Mirai suddenly poked him in the forehead.

"Kakashi, forgive me."

"We'll spar next time."

Chapter 27: You Only Have One Life—By the Time You Regret It, It'll Be Too Late

After returning to his room, Uchiha Mirai casually activated the barrier arranged around it.

Only after drawing all the curtains and carefully taking precautions did Uchiha Mirai close his eyes, sit on the floor, and begin carefully comprehending the reward he had just received.

A while later.

Uchiha Mirai opened his eyes in delight.

This reward had exceeded his expectations.

Just like the Uchiha Style Swordsmanship he had plundered from Uchiha Fugaku back then, the reward he had plundered from Minato Namikaze this time was not merely the Flying Thunder God Technique.

It also included Minato Namikaze's understanding and insights into the Flying Thunder God Technique accumulated over a long period of time.

That wealth of experience, along with the cultivation method for the Flying Thunder God Technique, had all flooded into Uchiha Mirai's mind at once.

What was more...

Just as when he had obtained Chidori, he had gained many profound insights into the concept of space, indirectly acquiring a talent for Space-Time Ninjutsu.

One had to know that in the original work, even though the Flying Thunder God Technique had been incredibly impressive, only Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze had been able to master it proficiently.

This showed just how difficult Space-Time Ninjutsu was to cultivate.

Yet now, through the reward of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Uchiha Mirai had actually gained the talent to cultivate Space-Time Ninjutsu.

This reward was simply too generous.

"Let's test it out first."

After fully absorbing the information in his mind, Uchiha Mirai took out a kunai from the ninja tool pouch at his waist.

With a thought, a complex Flying Thunder God mark appeared on the blade of the kunai.

"Go!"

As soon as the mark appeared, Uchiha Mirai tossed the kunai in his hand to the side.

The kunai shot forward.

The next second, Uchiha Mirai vanished from where he stood and appeared beside the kunai at the same instant.

"Success!"

Grabbing the kunai in his hand, excitement surged onto Uchiha Mirai's face.

Setting aside the unpredictable offensive power of the Flying Thunder God Technique, simply as a means of preserving one's life, it was already at the very pinnacle of the Shinobi World.

It could be said that once one mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, they would be born standing in an invincible position.

In the original story, if Minato Namikaze had not chosen to die together with the Nine-Tails in order to protect Konoha, Uchiha Mirai truly could not think of any way to kill Minato Namikaze.

"Now I can go wild without worry."

Uchiha Mirai chuckled softly.

As long as he left enough Flying Thunder God marks behind, no one would be able to threaten his life.

Fight when he wanted to fight, run when he did not.

Homecoming Minato?

Now it was Homecoming Mirai!

Konoha's border headquarters.

Shikaku Nara looked at Uchiha Mirai and the others, a trace of exhaustion in his eyes. "It has now been confirmed that Sunagakure is preparing to start a war against Konoha."

"The village has ordered that all Sunagakure ninja entering the Land of Fire are to be killed without exception!"

"Starting today, you will operate in squads and patrol near the border."

Hearing Shikaku Nara's order, Uchiha Mirai nodded and took the lead in walking outside.

Watching his retreating figure, Shikaku Nara's gaze became somewhat complicated.

Even now, he could hardly believe that the Uchiha Clan had produced a ninja willing to lead from the front in everything.

Within the dense forest at the border.

Uchiha Mirai watched as Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi cautiously set up traps, while he himself sat leisurely on a tree branch and secretly left behind a Flying Thunder God mark.

It did not cost much Chakra anyway, and leaving more marks could never be a bad thing.

Just then, the roar of an Explosive Tag suddenly rang out nearby.

Before Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi could react, Uchiha Mirai vanished from the spot.

A thousand meters away.

The instant three Sunagakure ninja triggered the trap, they leaped back.

The three of them were merely Genin. Since they had been discovered, retreating immediately was the correct choice.

But before they could flee very far, a youth wielding a long blade charged rapidly in their direction.

Seeing the youth, the three Sunagakure ninja exchanged glances and cruel smiles appeared on their faces.

They stopped where they were. Once Uchiha Mirai approached, they immediately surrounded him.

"What luck. A little brat actually delivered himself right to us."

"Hmph! I've seen plenty of fools like this. The moment they see an enemy retreat, they chase after them without a care. They're all just arrogant idiots who think too highly of themselves."

"What a pity... you only get one life. It's too late for regrets now."

The three Sunagakure ninja closed in on Uchiha Mirai, faint excitement still written across their faces.

This little brat looked like he had only just graduated from the Ninja Academy. He was alone, too—he was practically a rabbit delivered to their doorstep.

"You're right."

"Hm?"

The three Sunagakure ninja were baffled by Uchiha Mirai's words.

The next second, a flash of steel swept past.

One Sunagakure ninja's head fell to the ground.

"What?!"

"So fast!"

The remaining two Sunagakure ninja watched their companion die, shock filling their faces.

Just now... they had not even caught the other party's movement before their companion had already been beheaded.

The two remaining Sunagakure ninja immediately realized that they seemed to have provoked someone they should never have provoked.

This reckless-looking brat was far stronger than either of them.

He was undoubtedly a genius ninja with exceptional talent!

"Split up and retreat!"

After realizing how powerful Uchiha Mirai was, the two fled in opposite directions. That way, at least one of them could escape and safely deliver the intelligence back.

Squelch!

After running barely a dozen meters, the Sand ninja had his throat slit by a long blade and collapsed weakly to the ground.

He could feel his life rapidly draining away.

Yet as he watched his companion flee several hundred meters in the opposite direction, a trace of relief appeared in his eyes.

His sacrifice had been worthwhile.

Konoha had produced such a genius ninja—they had to send someone to assassinate him before he could mature!

That intelligence was far more important than his life.

But just before his consciousness faded away, the Sand ninja lying on the ground suddenly saw a kunai shoot toward his companion, reaching his side in the blink of an eye.

The Sand ninja's heart clenched, but when he saw his companion knock the kunai aside, he let out a long breath of relief.

But the next moment, the Sand ninja lying on the ground widened his eyes.
