Naruto: Saving the Uchiha Clan by Plundering Attributes

After confirming their direction, he raised a hand and waved. "Move!"

Perhaps they had traveled too quickly.

In just an hour, Uchiha Mirai and his two companions arrived at the entrance to the central tower.

According to the plan, they silently stood guard at the entrance, waiting for other ninja teams to arrive.

As time passed, more and more ninja teams arrived at the central tower.

But the moment they saw Uchiha Mirai and the others guarding the entrance, every team chose to stop at a distance and watch.

Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Three days later, more than a dozen ninja teams stood separately not far from the central tower.

In the cold wind, everyone squatted on the ground and stared at one another, all looking rather helpless.

"What is Uchiha Mirai up to now? He's guarding this place... doesn't he want to eliminate everyone?"

"Probably not. The examiners would definitely step in if he did that."

"Could it be that they haven't collected all the Heaven and Earth Scrolls, so they want to rob the teams that come to the central tower?"

"Now that you mention it, that's very possible."

"Damn it, that arrogant Uchiha brat..."

Hearing the discussions, Obito Uchiha could no longer hold back. He stood up and snorted. "Kakashi, are we really going to keep waiting here?"

"You're not weak either. You should be able to hold Uchiha Mirai off, right?"

Kakashi Hatake shook his head at Obito Uchiha's words. "You think too highly of me."

"As long as Mirai is guarding this place, no one can enter the central tower."

Seeing that even Kakashi Hatake had so little confidence, the others had even less to say.

After a moment of silence, someone suggested, "If we attack together, Uchiha Mirai might not be able to stop all of us."

No one echoed him.

Uchiha Mirai was a powerhouse capable of killing Jonin. Who would dare be the first bird to stick its head out?

The sight made Might Guy's blood boil.

That was so cool.

If only his youth could shine as brightly as Mirai's.

"Mirai, they don't seem to dare come over. Will this really work?" Kurenai Yuhi asked worriedly as she looked at Uchiha Mirai.

The Forest of Death exam lasted five days.

Three days had already passed.

She had thought they would be done once they robbed the teams trying to clear the exam, but unexpectedly, not a single team had shown any intention of coming over after all this time.

Would the village really stand by and do nothing if this continued?

"Don't worry, Kurenai."

"Someone will lose their patience eventually," Uchiha Mirai said calmly.

Before he had even finished speaking, the sound of fighting came from ahead.

Then, two scrolls—one Heaven and one Earth—were thrown over from afar.

"There. You can clear the exam now."

Uchiha Mirai stood up, took the scrolls in hand, and turned to walk into the central tower.

Leaving Kurenai Yuhi utterly dumbfounded.

Wait... there was actually a way to clear the exam like this?

They had merely sat at the entrance and rested for three days, and someone had voluntarily gathered the scrolls and delivered them to them...

That was insane!

Absolutely insane!

Third Round: Individual Battles!

After Uchiha Mirai entered the central tower and submitted the Heaven and Earth Scrolls, the ninja teams waiting outside rushed in after him.

Seeing this, everyone could not help twitching at the corners of their mouths.

Good grief... even if the Chunin Exams were held for another hundred years, this bizarre scene probably could never be recreated.

After clearing the exam, Uchiha Mirai went to one side and closed his eyes to rest.

There were still two days before the exam ended, so they had to wait patiently here until the time limit expired.

Two days later.

As the final ninja team submitted its Heaven and Earth Scrolls, the Forest of Death assessment officially came to an end.

Then, a burst of startled cries rang out.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, arrived before the crowd surrounded by a group of Jonin.

"You've all worked hard."

"Making it here proves that you are all highly capable ninja."

"However, strength is not the only standard by which an excellent ninja is measured."

"Where the leaves dance, fire burns ever on. The firelight will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout..."

Listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi's impassioned speech, Uchiha Mirai gave a disdainful snort inwardly.

For him to say such things so righteously in front of everyone, his skin must have been unbelievably thick.

Just as Uchiha Mirai was about to fall asleep listening to him, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally stopped.

He took a drag from his pipe and smiled kindly. "The final round of this exam will be individual battles."

"The contestants will use a computer to randomly select their opponents."

"Regardless of victory or defeat, each person will have three chances."

"Finally, the judging panel will decide whether a contestant can be promoted to Chunin based on each person's performance."

After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished reading the rules, the names on the large central screen began changing rapidly.

The next second, the screen froze.

"Might Guy VS Obito Uchiha!"

Seeing his name on the screen, Might Guy cried out excitedly. "I'm actually the first one up!"

"With so many people watching, I have to put on a good performance."

"Youth cannot tolerate laziness!"

Compared to the energetic Might Guy, Obito Uchiha coolly kept his hands in his pockets as he slowly walked into the center of the arena.

"Guy, although you're not my target, I lost to you in the graduation exam because I was careless. This is the perfect chance to wash away that humiliation."

"Come on. I won't be holding back."

Seeing Obito Uchiha's confident appearance, the people around them began whispering among themselves.

"This guy is an Uchiha ninja too. He looks pretty cocky, so he should be strong, right?"

"Definitely. No one from the Uchiha Clan is easy to mess with. Just look at Uchiha Mirai."

"But didn't I hear that Obito Uchiha was dead last at the Ninja Academy?"

"Huh? No way, right?"

Hearing everyone's discussion, Obito Uchiha's eyes filled with fighting spirit.

After today, I'll let everyone know that I, Obito Uchiha, am no longer the dead last I used to be!

"Referee, begin."

Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.

The next second, a green figure flashed past.

Shadow Leaf Dance!

Obito Uchiha was kicked in the chin, sending his body flying into the air.

Leaf Whirlwind!

Obito Uchiha was struck again by a sweeping kick in midair and crashed heavily onto the ground.

"That idiot Obito..."

Kakashi and Rin Nohara both facepalmed, speechless at Obito Uchiha's performance.

They had seen it clearly. When the referee announced the start of the match, Obito still had not pulled his hands out of his pockets. That was why he had been defeated in a single blow without even putting up any resistance.

"Second match: Rin Nohara VS Kurenai Yuhi!"

"Third match: Ebisu VS Genma Shiranui!"

"..."

"Eleventh match: Kakashi Hatake VS Uchiha Mirai!"

Seeing the two names on the big screen, everyone present revealed excited expressions.

If two universally recognized powerhouses had to be chosen from this Chunin Exam, they would undoubtedly be Uchiha Mirai and Kakashi Hatake.

They were also both acknowledged genius ninja. One was known as "Konoha's number one genius," while the other was the gifted young genius of the prestigious Uchiha Clan.

Kakashi had made his name earlier, but Uchiha Mirai's momentum had been greater lately.

Their battle instantly captured everyone's interest.

"Who do you think will win this fight?"

"Definitely Uchiha Mirai. In the second round, Kakashi even admitted that he wasn't Uchiha Mirai's opponent."

"But Kakashi isn't weak either. I heard he once spent some time in the Anbu. Even if Uchiha Mirai can win, it definitely won't be easy."

"That's right. No matter what, this match is bound to be spectacular."

Under the crowd's expectant gazes, Uchiha Mirai and Kakashi Hatake walked into the center of the arena.

Uchiha Mirai shrugged at Kakashi Hatake. "Kakashi, your luck isn't very good."

"No, I should say my luck is very good." Kakashi Hatake gripped his Chakra short sword with both hands. "In this Chunin Exam, you're the opponent I wanted to face most."

"Is that so?"

Seeing the battle intent in Kakashi Hatake's eyes, Uchiha Mirai chuckled softly. "Then you'd better get serious. I'm not in the habit of holding back."

"Don't worry!"

"I've mastered quite a few new ninjutsu recently. I'll definitely give you a big surprise."

After saying that, Kakashi Hatake vanished from where he stood.

The next instant, a cold gleam sliced through Uchiha Mirai's body.

Caw! Caw! Caw!

Uchiha Mirai's body transformed into dozens of crows that flew in every direction.
