Had he acted on impulse?

Was this a subtle confession to her?

Wasn't this too sudden?

Although they had known each other for a long time, today seemed to be the first time they had actually interacted, right?

Should she reject him or agree?

Oh dear!

This was so troubling!

Just as Kurenai Yuhi's thoughts ran wild, her stomach suddenly let out a series of "grumble, grumble" sounds.

Kurenai Yuhi embarrassedly pressed a hand to her stomach.

Why was it rumbling so loudly?!

How humiliating!

"Wait a moment."

Seeing Kurenai Yuhi's cheeks flushed red, Uchiha Mirai smiled faintly.

What a cute little girl.

Kurenai Yuhi put the steaming food before her into her mouth and could not help widening her eyes.

It was so delicious.

Since childhood, she had never eaten anything this good.

It was so delicious that she practically wanted to swallow her tongue!

"What dish is this? Why is it so delicious?"

Kurenai Yuhi could not help asking.

"Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork and Scallion-Braised Pork Ribs. I just experimented with them when I had nothing better to do. I'm glad you like them."

Uchiha Mirai answered casually.

He was not surprised by Kurenai Yuhi's reaction.

In this Shinobi World plagued by constant warfare, cuisine from China, an otherworldly land, was absolutely astonishing.

"You came up with these yourself?"

"That's amazing!"

Kurenai Yuhi looked utterly incredulous.

Being able to make food this delicious was already impressive enough, let alone creating dishes like these herself.

Oh my god,

What kind of hidden treasure was this boy?!

After eating, Kurenai Yuhi contentedly patted her slightly bulging little belly.

This was the fullest she had ever been in her life.

He was strong and could even set traps skillfully.

Not only could he grow vegetables himself, his cooking was also this delicious...

Why did Uchiha Mirai seem to be good at everything?

Seriously, they were obviously the same age.

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Uchiha Mirai, her heart filled with curiosity.

She realized that this handsome boy before her seemed completely different from the rumors.

"It's getting late."

Seeing Kurenai Yuhi lost in thought, Uchiha Mirai could not help reminding her.

"Ah!"

"Is it already this late?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked at the sky outside and only then realized that night had fallen. An inexplicable heat rose to her face.

It was all Uchiha Mirai's fault for making food so delicious that she had lost track of time.

When Kurenai Yuhi suddenly glared at him, Uchiha Mirai was somewhat baffled.

Hadn't everything been fine just now?

Why did her expression change faster than flipping a page?

Uchiha Mirai led Kurenai Yuhi outside the courtyard. Just as he was about to close the door, he saw her glance at him timidly.

"What is it?"

"Can you walk me out of the Clan Compound? I'm a little scared."

Kurenai Yuhi said softly.

This was the Uchiha Clan Compound!

If she wandered around at night, something frightening might happen.

"You really are helpless."

Uchiha Mirai sighed helplessly and could only lead Kurenai Yuhi outside.

The moment they left the Uchiha Clan Compound, Kurenai Yuhi stopped of her own accord.

"Thank you for today's hospitality."

After saying that,

Kurenai Yuhi turned and ran into the night.

After she left, Uchiha Mirai frowned slightly.

Even Kurenai Yuhi was this afraid of the Uchiha Clan Compound. One could imagine just how terrible the Uchiha Clan's reputation had become.

Saving the Uchiha Clan would be a long and arduous task.

At that thought, a trace of coldness flashed through Uchiha Mirai's eyes.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō...

Just you wait.

After returning to the courtyard, Uchiha Mirai went to his usual training ground and immediately began his daily training as always.

Today, he had plundered one point of "Physique" from Asuma Sarutobi.

Now, he finally had time to properly experience it.

After nearly two hours of exercise, Uchiha Mirai lay exhausted on the ground.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It was different from attribute points in the games from his previous life.

In this real world, improving one's physique did not merely add a bit of health.

It improved everything—strength, speed, endurance... even resistance to injury.

Although he had only gained one point so far, and the boost to his body in every aspect was not particularly great, it was enough for Uchiha Mirai to feel the difference before and after the improvement.

"System?"

"What abilities do you have?"

"Answer me!"

"Hey?"

"Hello?"

"..."

After muttering softly for a long while and trying every possible method without receiving any response, Uchiha Mirai completely gave up on communicating with the system.

"Plunder System..."

"Judging from the name, it should be able to plunder things from other people."

"Today, it plundered 'Physique,' but that doesn't mean it can only plunder 'Physique.'"

"Perhaps... it can plunder other attribute points as well."

"Even forbidden techniques and Kekkei Genkai might not be impossible!"

Uchiha Mirai silently analyzed in his heart.

In his previous life, he had been a novel enthusiast and had read countless novels, all so that if he ever transmigrated one day, he could keep a clear head instead of running around like a headless fly.

Therefore,

Uchiha Mirai could roughly guess the system's functions.

It was just that...

There were still some things he needed to confirm.

For example:

Could plundering only be triggered through battle, or were there other ways to trigger it?

Could something be plundered in every battle, or was there merely a certain probability?

Could the Plunder System be triggered repeatedly from the same person?

Was there a limit to the number of times he could plunder within a certain period?

Questions like these kept surfacing in his mind.

Uchiha Mirai wrote down each of these questions, intending to verify them slowly.

This concerned his future, so he absolutely could not afford to be careless.

Ninja Academy.

At a window seat in the back row, Uchiha Mirai was lying on his desk and quietly catching up on sleep when he suddenly sensed a fragrant breeze beside him.

Looking up, Uchiha Mirai discovered Kurenai Yuhi staring at him blankly, her face full of disbelief.

"Need something?"

Hearing Uchiha Mirai's words, Kurenai Yuhi snapped back to her senses.

"You can actually still sleep!"

"Hm?"

"Aren't you afraid the Third Hokage will cause trouble for you?"

"Why would the Third Hokage cause trouble for me?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Uchiha Mirai with an exasperated expression. "Of course it's because you beat Asuma Sarutobi black and blue yesterday."

He had beaten up the Hokage's son yet was still acting as if nothing had happened. Just how big was this guy's heart?

"Don't worry."

Uchiha Mirai waved a hand. "The Hokage is first the village's Hokage, and only then a father to his child."
