Naruto: Saving the Uchiha from the Plunder System Chapter 27

A common yet highly effective tactic: besiege a point to draw reinforcements.

Now that he knew the enemy had set a trap before them, he naturally would not charge into it headfirst.

"Mirai, if we just leave like this, then he..."

Asuma Sarutobi looked at their companion groaning in pain ahead of them, his expression conflicted.

Even though he knew it was a trap set by the enemy, abandoning a still-living comrade and leaving left a bitter feeling in his heart.

"Hesitation will only make you lose everything."

"If you feel bad about it, then kill more enemies to avenge your comrade."

Uchiha Mirai said calmly.

At that moment, three figures appeared behind them.

"What a cold-hearted fellow. Is a companion's life really so worthless in your eyes?"

The leading Rasa looked frivolously at Uchiha Mirai and the other two. "In that case..."

A massive amount of Gold Dust suddenly surged from beneath the heavily wounded Konoha Chunin, instantly swallowing him whole.

Splat!

The Gold Dust dispersed, leaving behind a pool of thick blood and mangled flesh.

Seeing this, Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi both clenched their fists. "You bastard!"

"Don't let such a lowly provocation make you lose your reason."

Uchiha Mirai drew his long blade, his gaze wary.

From the method the enemy had just used, he had already guessed the identity of the ninja before them.

The future Fourth Kazekage—Rasa!

He possessed the Magnetic Release Kekkei Genkai, and his strength was terrifyingly formidable.

For Mirai as he was now, he was an exceedingly troublesome opponent.

"Looks like I'm lucky today. To think I'd run into such an interesting little fellow."

A surprised expression appeared on Rasa's face when he saw Uchiha Mirai's reaction.

Keeping a straight face in a situation like this was not something just anyone could do.

"This enemy won't be easy to deal with. Find an opportunity and run first."

"No. We're a team. We should advance and retreat together."

"Kurenai! If you stay, I'll have to split my focus to protect you. You'd be better off going back to camp for reinforcements."

"But..."

"That's an order!"

"U-Understood."

Seeing the stern expression on Uchiha Mirai's face, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi did not dare say anything more.

This was the first time they had seen Uchiha Mirai looking so grave and unsmiling.

The enemy across from them must have been frighteningly powerful.

"Run!"

Uchiha Mirai shouted in a low voice and threw out several shuriken.

Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!

In midair, the shuriken became two, then four... In the blink of an eye, they filled the sky, charging densely at Rasa and the others from every direction.

Seeing this, Rasa snorted coldly. Countless streams of Gold Dust surged from underground, blocking every last shuriken.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi swiftly retreated in the opposite direction.

"Baki, Daizan, go after the other two."

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the two Jonin who had arrived with Rasa chased after Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi.

Rasa, meanwhile, controlled the Gold Dust and sent it sweeping toward Uchiha Mirai.

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!

Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!

Uchiha Mirai and his shadow clone attacked at the same time. The wind fed the flames, and the firestorm instantly swallowed Rasa.

"Useless."

Rasa concealed his body behind the Gold Dust, completely unfazed by Uchiha Mirai's attack as he continued his assault.

Eight Gates Formation: Sixth Gate, Gate of View—Open!

Uchiha Mirai did not continue fighting Rasa. Instead, he directly opened the first six gates of the Eight Gates Formation.

Baki and another man named Daizan were both Jonin. He had to hold them off, or Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma would be in danger.

After opening the Eight Gates Formation, Uchiha Mirai's entire body was shrouded in green vapor. His speed increased severalfold, and with a flash, he vanished from where he stood.

Even the ground was churned up by the air as he moved.

"Die!"

Instantly arriving beside Daizan, Uchiha Mirai slashed with his long sword, and Daizan immediately ducked his head.

A lock of hair was severed. Before Daizan could breathe a sigh of relief, Uchiha Mirai's hand had already struck his chest. "Rasengan!"

Under the force of the Rasengan, Daizan's body spun as it flew backward. Only after knocking over several thick trees did he crash heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, both Rasa and Baki were utterly stunned.

Daizan was a battle-hardened Jonin, yet he had been instantly killed by some brat?

What kind of joke was this?!

Limit: Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai!

Uchiha Mirai's instant kill of Daizan left both Rasa and Baki deeply shocked.

A child who looked barely in his teens actually possessed such terrifying strength!

Even if the other party had clearly used a secret technique, being able to reach this level was enough to prove his strength.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the reward: Wind Style: Pressing Harm!

After killing a Jonin from Sunagakure, Uchiha Mirai did not pause and continued charging toward Baki.

"Wind Style: Wind Blade!"

Facing Baki's counterattack, Uchiha Mirai rapidly formed hand seals. "Wind Style: Pressing Harm!"

Countless wind blades collided, their powerful cutting force shredding everything within the area to pieces.

"Baki, get back here!"

Rasa had caught up as well.

He was not afraid of the enemy facing him head-on, but after using that secret technique, the other party's speed was simply too fast.

If Baki chose to continue pursuing the two Konoha ninjas who had just fled, his fate would likely be no better than Daizan's.

A secret technique capable of rapidly increasing one's strength could not possibly last long.

As long as they stalled until the opponent could no longer sustain the technique, things would become simple.

"Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!"

Seeing Rasa arrive, Uchiha Mirai formed hand seals once more.

A massive amount of scorching smoke poured from Uchiha Mirai's mouth, instantly blocking all vision ahead.

"Wind Style: Typhoon Over!"

With the scorching smoke billowing everywhere, Baki and Rasa were temporarily separated.

He formed hand seals, intending to disperse the smoke with Wind Style.

As long as he could reunite with Rasa, he would no longer need to worry about his own safety.

Just then, a kunai shot out of the smoke. Baki did not stop forming hand seals, merely tilting his head slightly.

As a Jonin, if he could not even dodge an attack like that, he might as well smash his head into a wall and die.

Pfft!

Feeling the sharp pain in his chest, Baki lowered his head in disbelief and saw a long sword gleaming with icy light piercing through the area of his heart.

"How is this possible?!"

Baki's eyes widened in horror.

Wasn't that brat dozens of meters away from him?

Why had he suddenly appeared behind him?

Filled with intense unwillingness and doubt, Baki's body crashed heavily to the ground.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the reward: Typhoon Over!

Uchiha Mirai silently put away the kunai bearing the Flying Thunder God mark. This was his trump card, so it was best not to reveal it at this stage.

A gust of wind swept through, dispersing the scorching smoke.

Looking at Baki, sprawled on the ground without a trace of life, Rasa was both shocked and enraged.

Baki had been one of his most outstanding Jonin, with great potential to become an elite Jonin in the future. Yet now, he had died here...

Having lost two Jonin in succession, Rasa felt as though his heart was bleeding.

But beneath his anger, turbulent waves also surged in Rasa's heart.

To so easily kill two Jonin in such a short time—could this brat before him already possess the strength of a Kage-level expert?

Chidori!

A flash of lightning streaked past, and Uchiha Mirai arrived before Rasa in the blink of an eye.

Chidori left a hole in the thick gold dust, but it posed no threat to Rasa.

With his attack proving ineffective, Uchiha Mirai began launching attacks at Rasa nonstop from different directions, hoping to exploit an opening with overwhelming speed, just as Rock Lee had done against Gaara in the original story.

But the current Rasa was clearly not someone Gaara from the Chunin Exams could compare to.

Rasa was like a turtle with no weaknesses at all. Uchiha Mirai's attacks achieved nothing.

"Three Tomoe Sharingan... So you're a brat from the Uchiha Clan!"

Seeing Uchiha Mirai's crimson Three Tomoe Sharingan, excitement returned to Rasa's face.

Such a genius youth, and he even possessed the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai.

If he could bring the other's corpse back, then losing two Jonin subordinates would be nothing worth mentioning.

Magnet Release: Gold Dust Wave!

Countless waves of gold dust surged toward Uchiha Mirai, blotting out the sky. Uchiha Mirai could only leap back.

As the gold dust grew ever more numerous, blanketing the entire area within a hundred-meter radius, Uchiha Mirai's gaze turned icy.

He was nearly at his limit now.

Putting aside the backlash from the Eight Gates Formation, even his Chakra was almost completely depleted.
