Naruto: Saving the Uchiha from the Plunder System Chapter 41

But... a genius born into a prestigious ninja clan, with the full support of his family behind him, had resolutely chosen to go to the battlefield.

Wasn't that precisely a sign that he had inherited the "Will of Fire"?

Fortunately, he had not listened to Danzō back then. Otherwise, such a promising talent would have gone to waste.

Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that Uchiha Mirai, with such resolve, would surely become a sharp blade in his hand, ready to be turned against the Uchiha Clan at any time.

Naturally, Uchiha Mirai had no idea about Hiruzen Sarutobi's increasingly wild imaginings.

With his current strength, he had no need to care about what Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and the others thought.

If they provoked him, then at worst, he would tear off all pretenses ahead of time.

There was only one reason he wanted to go to the battlefield: to plunder rewards by killing enemies.

After two days of traveling at full speed, Uchiha Mirai arrived at the main camp and met Orochimaru, who was serving as the overall commander.

Upon seeing Uchiha Mirai, Orochimaru made no attempt to conceal the interested look in his eyes.

If Uchiha Mirai had not known that Orochimaru was interested in his body, he might have genuinely wondered whether this guy had some unusual fetish.

"Mirai-kun, I've heard your name for a long time. This is our first meeting. It's a pleasure."

Orochimaru extended his somewhat pale right hand toward Uchiha Mirai.

"The pleasure is mine."

"What is the situation on the front lines right now?"

Uchiha Mirai smiled but did not shake Orochimaru's hand.

Orochimaru was not angered. Instead, he took out a map and began explaining.

"Kumogakure has more ninja than we do, but the overall strength of their ninja is inferior to those of our village."

"Other than being caught off guard by their initial sneak attack, the situation has gradually stabilized."

"However... when it comes to high-end combat power, there is a huge gap between us and Kumogakure."

At this point, Orochimaru sighed.

A and Killer B in particular had been launching surprise attacks on Konoha's ninja everywhere, causing heavy casualties.

Moreover, they never engaged Konoha head-on. Every time, they struck and immediately fled.

Even when they occasionally fell into an ambush, he alone had no way to deal with those two.

"Mirai-kun, do you have any good ideas?"

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Mirai and asked.

He had always been arrogant and self-assured, but for some reason, he wanted to hear what the boy before him thought.

Facing Orochimaru's question, Uchiha Mirai spoke calmly, "This matter is not as difficult to resolve as you imagine."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru was somewhat surprised.

Could it be... that this publicly recognized genius truly had a good solution?

Seeing Orochimaru's curious gaze, Uchiha Mirai smiled faintly. "It's simple. We just need to kill more people than they do."

Hearing Uchiha Mirai's words, Orochimaru's eyes lit up.

He truly had never considered that line of thought before.

In terms of overall strength, Kumogakure was far inferior to Konoha. If they killed each other's lower-ranking ninja, then Kumogakure would be the one with a headache.

"Mirai-kun, it seems that being sent here to help while your other companions can only carry out missions like escorting supplies truly means you possess exceptional ability."

"Then... in a while, I'll assign two Jonin to form a surprise attack squad with you. You will be responsible for eliminating Kumogakure's Genin and Chunin squads."

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Mirai shook his head. "No need. I prefer carrying out missions alone."

"Very well, but be sure to stay careful."

Orochimaru said no more and simply waved to Uchiha Mirai. "Mirai-kun, go get some rest first."

As the commander, he needed to formulate the missions as quickly as possible.

If he could accumulate enough prestige on this battlefield, there would no longer be any obstacles on his path to becoming Hokage.

At that time, he would have enough authority to experiment with everything he desired.

A Killing Machine on the Battlefield

At the border of the Land of Fire.

Uchiha Mirai moved swiftly through the dense forest.

After arriving at a location far from Konoha's main camp, Uchiha Mirai silently closed his eyes.

"Mind's Eye of the Kagura!"

As his senses spread outward, countless red dots appeared in Uchiha Mirai's mind.

Every red dot represented a ninja.

"Let's start by clearing out the closest ones."

Uchiha Mirai opened his eyes, and his figure swiftly vanished from the spot.

It had already been a week since he arrived at the front lines.

Over the past week, Orochimaru had taken Uchiha Mirai's advice and begun dispatching various surprise attack squads to continuously assault Kumogakure's ninja, achieving excellent results.

During this time, Uchiha Mirai had also killed quite a few Kumogakure ninja and seized plenty of rewards.

After all...

With the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, it was practically like having a god's-eye view.

No matter what kind of disguise the Kumogakure ninja used, they could not escape his senses.

Moreover, because the Mind's Eye of the Kagura had a detection range of a full ten kilometers, Kumogakure's sensory ninja had no way of discovering his whereabouts.

It could be said that this battlefield had become a private backyard where he could wander as he pleased.

"Move faster. Once we finish searching this area, we'll withdraw immediately."

A burly Kumogakure ninja urged them on.

"Got it. We don't want to waste time either."

Another Kumogakure ninja sighed.

The fighting along the border had been growing increasingly intense lately, and many squads sent out to gather intelligence had vanished without a trace.

Even several Jonin had gone missing.

Under such circumstances, the intelligence-gathering squads had been changed from the original Genin-and-Chunin teams to teams of Chunin and Jonin.

Their squad consisted of one Jonin and two elite Chunin.

Yet even so, the village still suffered heavy casualties every day.

In this situation, staying outside for even one extra second meant another degree of danger.

Just after the three of them had searched part of the area, a black figure suddenly rushed toward them.

"Enemy attack!"

The Kumogakure ninja immediately drew their weapons and assumed fighting stances.

When they saw that their attacker was merely a teenage boy, the three Kumogakure ninja exchanged glances and charged at him together.

On the battlefield, they would not underestimate any opponent.

But before they could make a move, the three Kumogakure ninja felt their bodies falling out of their control.

Looking down, they saw that the shadows beneath their feet had somehow connected to a patch of darkness.

The next second, a large amount of golden dust swallowed their bodies.

"Sand Burial!"

Squelch!

Aside from the Jonin, who broke free of the Shadow Binding Technique with a secret technique at the last moment, the other two Kumogakure ninja were crushed directly into piles of flesh.

"Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai... Is it Rasa of Sunagakure?!"

The Kumogakure Jonin rapidly retreated, his eyes filled with horror.

This distinctive Kekkei Genkai was easy to recognize. In the Shinobi World, aside from Rasa, no one else possessed the ability to control gold dust.

What he could not understand was why Rasa had traveled all the way from Sunagakure to attack them here.

Judging from the current situation, shouldn't Kumogakure and Sunagakure share the same objective?

When he looked back, the pursuing boy was expressionless, his gaze filled with indifference. At the same time, a kunai flew from his hand, streaking toward him at high speed.

The Kumogakure Jonin twisted aside to evade it. The kunai flashed past him as he pushed his speed to the limit.

The crucial intelligence that "Rasa of Sunagakure was suspected to be nearby and had attacked them" had to be delivered back to the village!

But what he had not expected was for the boy, who had been dozens of meters away just moments ago, to suddenly appear in front of him.

"Rasengan!"

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully seizing reward: Chakra +1!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully seizing reward: Physique +1!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully seizing reward: Lightning Blade Technique: Thunder Strike!

Listening to the system notifications, the black-haired boy directly used Fire Release to burn the corpses of the three Kumogakure ninja to ashes.

Then, without pausing for even a moment, he rushed toward his next target.

The slaughter continued until after the sun had set.

In just one day, Uchiha Mirai had eliminated more than a dozen ninja squads.

More than thirty Kumogakure ninja had died at his hands.

That was only because Kumogakure's ninja were too scattered. Otherwise, far more ninja would have died by his hand.

Mind's Eye of the Kagura, Flying Thunder God Technique, Rasengan, Shadow Binding Technique, Chidori, Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai...

With all sorts of powerful trump cards working together, Uchiha Mirai was like a god of slaughter, cutting through his enemies like vegetables.

Even elite Jonin were unable to stop him in the face of his endless combination techniques.

"Let's call it here for today."

Looking at his sharply rising attribute panel, Uchiha Mirai left contentedly in the direction of Konoha's main camp.

Over the past few days, the gains from attribute points alone had already approached 300 points.

Even he found such a growth rate somewhat outrageous.

If he had not been killing enemies on the battlefield, relying solely on battle rewards, it might have taken him a year to accumulate that many attribute points.

Kumogakure.

Crack!

With an angry roar, the massive solid-wood desk instantly shattered into pieces.

A was wrapped in arcs of lightning, and the killing intent radiating from him filled the entire room.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
