Naruto: Saving the Uchiha Through Plundering Attributes

"Crow."

Having heard the answer he wanted, Uchiha Mirai immediately nodded. "That one, then."

A crow was the summoning beast he had decided on long ago.

No other reason.

They were simply cool.

After settling the matter of the summoning beast, Uchiha Tajima turned his gaze to Shisui Uchiha beside him. "Shisui, since you're here, what kind of summoning contract would you like to make?"

"I like crows too," Shisui Uchiha immediately said.

"I understand."

Uchiha Tajima was not stingy toward the son of an old friend. After agreeing to his request, he also took out several ninjutsu scrolls and handed them to Shisui Uchiha.

"If you need anything, just tell me. The clan will do everything it can to meet your needs."

Uchiha Tajima emphasized this once more.

Uchiha Mirai and Shisui Uchiha nodded together. "Understood, Clan Head Tajima."

After chatting for a few more moments, Uchiha Tajima had someone take Uchiha Mirai and Shisui Uchiha to make a summoning contract with the crows.

Once the two had left, Uchiha Tajima's face flushed red, and he broke into a fit of heavy coughing.

Looking at the bright-red blood in his palm, Uchiha Tajima silently sighed.

He did not have much time left. Before he died, this was all he could do for the clan.

He only hoped that once Mirai and Shisui had grown stronger, they could bring some change to the clan's situation.

After leaving Uchiha Tajima's home, Uchiha Mirai and Shisui Uchiha arrived in a dense forest on the back mountain.

While training himself, Uchiha Mirai also gave Shisui Uchiha some guidance.

He already had extensive combat experience, and he had also gained some cultivation insights from Uchiha Fugaku and Minato Namikaze.

So with only a few simple words, Shisui Uchiha benefited greatly.

"Senior Mirai, thank you so much for today. If there's anything I don't understand in the future, can I ask you for guidance?"

Seeing the expectation in Shisui Uchiha's eyes, Uchiha Mirai nodded. "Of course."

Then, Uchiha Mirai changed the subject. "Shisui, you know being a ninja is a dangerous profession, right?"

"Huh? Senior Mirai, what are you trying to say?"

"Your current strength is too weak, yet you know far too many secrets..."

Shisui Uchiha immediately understood what Uchiha Mirai meant. Looking at him with resolute eyes, he said, "Senior Mirai, if you have something in mind, just say it. I'm fine with anything."

"Then I'll be direct." Uchiha Mirai slowly said, "To prevent you from inadvertently revealing our secrets, I need to place a Sealing Jutsu on you."

Although he trusted Shisui Uchiha fairly well, it was better to be cautious about certain things.

As it happened, when he killed those Root ninja last night, he had plundered the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal.

This Sealing Jutsu had been developed specifically to prevent those it was cast upon from revealing classified information.

As long as someone under the technique tried to say something related to a specified matter, their entire body would become paralyzed. They would be unable to speak or move.

There was nothing more suitable for keeping secrets.

After Uchiha Mirai briefly explained the effects of the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal, an admiring expression appeared on Shisui Uchiha's face.

"As expected of Senior Mirai. You even thought of something like this."

"Please begin!"

Shisui Uchiha had no resistance to the idea whatsoever.

After all... the secrets he knew concerned the future course of the Uchiha Clan and even the entire village.

If having the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal placed on him could eliminate the risk of leaking those secrets, he was more than willing.

A Lucky Draw: Uzumaki Sage Body!

"Senior Mirai, watch out!"

Shisui Uchiha threw several shuriken. After colliding with one another in midair, they shot toward Uchiha Mirai from every blind spot.

Immediately afterward, Shisui Uchiha formed hand seals, his chest rapidly swelling. "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

The scorching fireball followed close behind, swallowing Uchiha Mirai's figure.

A violent explosion rang out, sending dust flying in every direction.

Just then, a kunai burst from the flames and stabbed toward Shisui Uchiha's throat.

Shisui Uchiha drew his short sword and swiftly knocked away every kunai.

"Body Flicker Technique!"

Shisui Uchiha vanished from where he stood and appeared at Uchiha Mirai's side.

Squelch!

The blade pierced through Uchiha Mirai's body.

"Caw! Caw! Caw!"

Uchiha Mirai's body suddenly transformed into countless crows that flew in every direction.

Then Shisui Uchiha felt his body sink, and he was buried in the earth, with only the part above his neck left exposed.

"Senior Mirai, I lost."

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have successfully plundered: Mental Power +1!

"Alright, that's enough training for today."

Uchiha Mirai released Shisui Uchiha, feeling a faint trace of envy.

This was a true genius. In just a few short days, his strength had undergone a complete transformation.

Unlike him, who could only rely on cheats to improve his strength.

"Senior Mirai, let's eat together tomorrow. My treat."

"Forget it. I have something to do tomorrow."

"Oh."

Shisui Uchiha obediently nodded, though there was still a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

It seemed he would not get to eat the delicious food Senior Mirai made tomorrow.

"Here."

Seeing the lunchbox suddenly appear before him, Shisui Uchiha's eyes lit up.

Senior Mirai really is such a good person!

Konoha.

On the second floor of an apartment building, Uchiha Mirai stood at the door and knocked.

"Coming."

A clear voice came from within, and the door opened.

A red-haired woman wearing an apron came into view.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Minato Namikaze."

"Ah, you're Uchiha Mirai, right?"

A look of realization appeared on the woman's face. She stepped aside to make room for him. "Minato talks about you all the time. He says you're an incredible genius."

"You flatter me."

Uchiha Mirai smiled. "Kushina, this is a gift for you."

"You should call me big sister."

"Alright, Kushina."

"..."

After entering the room, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Rin Nohara were sitting on the sofa chatting, while Minato Namikaze was bustling about in the kitchen.

When Uchiha Mirai came in, Rin Nohara and Kakashi Hatake, aside from Obito Uchiha, both came over to greet him warmly.

"Is that Mirai?" Minato Namikaze's voice came from the kitchen. "Wait a moment. The food will be ready soon."

"Alright."

Uchiha Mirai answered.

Today was a gathering for Minato Namikaze's team. Because of Kakashi, Minato had invited him to eat with them as well.

He finally had a chance to get close to Kushina Uzumaki, so there was no way he would let it pass.

After spending two months on the frontline battlefield, Uchiha Mirai had discovered that his endurance was still somewhat lacking.

After using the Eight Gates Formation, his body would also enter a period of exhaustion.

In the end, it was because his physique was too ordinary.

If he could take this opportunity to plunder the Uzumaki Sage Body from Kushina Uzumaki, that would be perfect.

With that in mind, Uchiha Mirai gave Kushina Uzumaki an innocent smile. "Kushina, can you pour me a glass of water?"

"I can, but shouldn't you show a little respect for your senior?"

Kushina Uzumaki said, somewhat displeased.

"Oh."

"Then could you please pour me a glass of water, Auntie Kushina?"

After Uchiha Mirai said that, the air in the entire room froze.

Kushina Uzumaki stared at Uchiha Mirai with wide eyes. "You little brat, what did you just call me?"

"Auntie. Is there a problem?"

"You should call me big sister, damn it!" Kushina Uzumaki clenched her fists, her red hair whipping about behind her without any wind.

From childhood until now, this was the first time anyone had called her Auntie!

Did she really look that old?

"Big Sister Kushina, I was only joking."

Uchiha Mirai's words calmed Kushina Uzumaki slightly, but the next second, he spoke again. "Everyone said that when you get angry, your hair thrashes around like an octopus's tentacles. Now that I've seen it, it really is true."

Silence.

Endless silence.

A terrifying killing intent spread through the room.

"I'll kill you!"

Kushina Uzumaki grabbed a frying pan and swung it at Uchiha Mirai.

Uchiha Mirai hurriedly dodged.

Crash! Bang! Clatter!

The room immediately descended into chaos.

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have successfully plundered: Uzumaki Sage Body!
