Uchiha Mirai explained.
Hearing his answer, Might Guy felt much better and smiled. "So that's how it is. I really envy Kurenai and Asuma for being able to have you as a teammate, Mirai."
Just then, a little girl carrying a huge bowl of ramen walked over.
"Your ramen. Please enjoy."
Looking at Ayame, who was only six or seven years old, Uchiha Mirai could not help rubbing her head. "Thanks, little sister~"
"Hey! My hair!!!"
"Bad big brother!"
Ayame pouted and ran off in a huff.
After teasing Ayame, Uchiha Mirai smiled and took a bite of the steaming ramen before returning to their earlier topic. "Guy, how is your preparation for the Chunin Exams going?"
"I can't wait!" Might Guy pumped his fist, brimming with fighting spirit. "Everyone has worked hard for a long time for these Chunin Exams."
"Mirai, you can't let your guard down. Be careful not to stumble in the gutter."
Hearing Might Guy's words, Uchiha Mirai silently summoned the system panel and glanced at it.
Name: Uchiha Mirai Constitution: 213 Mental Power: 207 Chakra: 209 Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan, Magnet Release: Gold Dust! Ninjutsu: ... Other: ... Partial Expansion Jutsu, Shadow Imitation Technique, Uzumaki Sage Body!
Looking at his three attributes, all of which had surpassed two hundred, along with his various ninjutsu, secret techniques, and Kekkei Genkai, Uchiha Mirai smiled silently.
For him to fail the Chunin Exams, Hiruzen Sarutobi himself would probably have to step in.
God's Eye: Mind's Eye of the Kagura!
Konoha.
Second floor of an apartment building.
Uchiha Mirai stood at the door with two exquisite cakes in hand and knocked.
"Kushina!"
A few seconds later.
The door opened, and Kushina Uzumaki stood with her hands on her hips. "Brat, can't you just call me big sister?"
"A gift for you."
Ignoring Kushina Uzumaki, Uchiha Mirai held out the cakes.
Kushina Uzumaki's expression immediately brightened into a smile. "Mirai, what brings you here this time?"
Uchiha Mirai immediately replied, "The last time I visited, I accidentally made you angry. I came specifically to apologize this time."
"Oh? You're capable of being this thoughtful?" Kushina Uzumaki sounded doubtful. "And it's been nearly a month since last time."
Uchiha Mirai wore an innocent smile. "The Chunin Exams are coming up, so I've been busy lately."
"Also, I came to ask for your guidance."
Uchiha Mirai stated his purpose.
"Huh? You want me to guide you?"
Kushina Uzumaki was somewhat surprised. "Shouldn't Minato be better at that?"
Uchiha Mirai smiled and shook his head. "He has already guided me many times. I want someone else to point out my shortcomings. Maybe I'll gain something unexpected."
"As for why I came to you... everyone says you're also an outstanding ninja."
Uchiha Mirai spoke in all seriousness.
"Brat, you have good judgment." Hearing Uchiha Mirai's praise, Kushina Uzumaki gave a smug little snort. "I accept your request."
She could not leave the village to carry out missions. As a ninja, all she did every day was go shopping or stay home, and she was bored to death.
So, when she heard that Uchiha Mirai wanted her guidance, Kushina Uzumaki agreed without hesitation.
After closing the door, the two headed toward Hokage Rock together.
Once they reached the back mountain, Kushina Uzumaki beckoned at Uchiha Mirai. "Brat, let me see what you can do first."
"Kushina, then you'd better be careful."
"I should be the one saying that. Attack me with everything you have!"
Kushina Uzumaki gave a light snort.
Uchiha Mirai threw out several shuriken and rapidly formed hand seals. "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu!"
In an instant, hundreds of shuriken wrapped in flames attacked Kushina Uzumaki from all directions.
"Brat, you've got some skills."
Kushina Uzumaki laughed loudly as astonishing Chakra erupted from her body. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
It was clearly only a C-rank jutsu, but empowered by Kushina Uzumaki's Chakra, its power was absurdly strong.
It blew away all the densely packed flaming shuriken in the sky at once.
Uchiha Mirai appeared at Kushina Uzumaki's side and lashed out with a roundhouse kick.
Kushina Uzumaki raised an arm to block it.
Uchiha Mirai and Kushina Uzumaki became locked in close combat, producing a rapid series of dull impacts.
"This woman's physical abilities are seriously ridiculous."
Uchiha Mirai could not help complaining.
His physical abilities had already far surpassed those of an ordinary person, yet in taijutsu combat against Kushina Uzumaki, he was still faintly at a disadvantage.
What he did not know was that Kushina Uzumaki was equally shocked.
A brat barely in his teens could actually match her in a taijutsu clash.
Minato had been right. Uchiha Mirai was a monster.
A moment later.
Pretending he could no longer hold out, Uchiha Mirai took the initiative to end the fight. "Kushina, that should be enough for now, right?"
"Is there anything you want to say about me?"
Hearing Uchiha Mirai's question, Kushina Uzumaki rolled her eyes. "I have nothing to say."
"With your strength, you shouldn't be taking the Chunin Exams. You should be taking the Jonin assessment."
Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully plundering the reward: Mind's Eye of the Kagura!
Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Uchiha Mirai's heart stirred. He felt as though his entire being had suddenly become far more clear and open.
The wind rustling through leaves, birds chirping, insects buzzing.
Every sound and image became clearer than ever before.
Uchiha Mirai knew that this was a sign that his perception had greatly improved.
With that in mind, Uchiha Mirai closed his eyes and activated Mind's Eye of the Kagura according to the information he had received in his mind.
The next second, Uchiha Mirai sensed six Chakra signatures hidden nearby.
Beyond that, countless Chakra sources farther away also appeared clearly within his perception.
It was like a map with a black background covered in densely packed red dots.
"The nearby ones should be Anbu and Root members assigned to watch Kushina."
"Every one of those Chakra sources scattered farther away should represent a ninja as well."
Uchiha Mirai was secretly amazed.
By his estimate, after activating Mind's Eye of the Kagura, his sensing range had nearly reached ten kilometers.
That was a full ten times the observation range of the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan!
Moreover, he could sense the relative strength of every Chakra source...
It could be said that with the secret technique Mind's Eye of the Kagura, it was as if he had gained a god's-eye view. He would no longer need to worry about being ambushed or caught off guard.
It was practically cheating!
"Brat, what's wrong?"
Hearing Kushina Uzumaki's puzzled voice, Uchiha Mirai came back to his senses and showed a sincere smile. "Kushina, thank you so much for today."
"When I get the chance, I'll treat you to a meal."
He had sparred with Kushina Uzumaki twice. The first time, he had obtained the Uzumaki Sage Body; the second, Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
The gains were so plentiful that he could hardly contain his excitement.
But for now, it would be better to return and familiarize himself with Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
"Well then... goodbye!"
"What was that about? I hadn't even said anything yet..." Kushina Uzumaki muttered as she watched Uchiha Mirai's retreating figure.
That brat was truly impossible to read.
"Kushina, Uchiha Mirai is a ninja of the Uchiha Clan. The Hokage does not want you getting too close to him."
After Uchiha Mirai left, a masked Anbu appeared before her and spoke in a deep voice.
"Hmph!"
"Tell that old man to mind his own business, or I'll tear down his office!"
Kushina Uzumaki snorted coldly.
Being watched every day and forbidden from leaving the village was bad enough. Now they even wanted to interfere with whom she spent time with. Did they really think she had no temper?
If not for the sake of not causing trouble for Minato, she would have gone to argue with that old fool Hiruzen Sarutobi long ago.
An Unremarkable Uchiha
"Crunch, crunch~"
The sound of footsteps on snow rang out. Kurenai Yuhi looked up, and a smile immediately bloomed across her slightly chubby face.
She breathed out a puff of white mist and raised her right hand in a wave. "Mirai, over here!"
"Kurenai, have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just got here too."
After Uchiha Mirai approached, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly became somewhat bashful, twisting back and forth with both hands behind her butt.
"Do you have hemorrhoids?"
"Pah! You're the one with hemorrhoids!"
Uchiha Mirai shook his head in confusion. "Then why are you acting so awkward?"
