Naruto: Saving the Uchiha from the Plunder System Chapter 44

"Kill!"

The battle cries echoed across the heavens. To ninja, a distance of one kilometer was no more than a blink away.

Caught off guard, Kumogakure's forward formation was instantly thrown into disarray by Konoha's charging ninja.

In just an instant, Kumogakure's ninja suffered heavy casualties.

However, as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Kumogakure's ninja were highly capable. After sacrificing a certain number of ninja, they gradually stabilized their formation.

"Damn it, it's those Konoha ninja! Kill them!"

"Enemy attack! Stop sleeping and get up to fight!"

"You rats only know how to launch sneak attacks! Taste my strength!"

As Kumogakure's ninja spread out their formation, the two sides clashed together, and the war officially began!

On a small hill some distance away, Orochimaru watched the ninja already locked in chaotic combat, his expression stern. "Mirai-kun, it's time for us to make our move as well."

"Got it."

"I'll proceed according to the plan."

Uchiha Mirai spoke calmly.

Seeing this, Orochimaru bit his finger. "Summoning Jutsu!"

A massive serpent covered in purple stripes appeared beneath Orochimaru's feet.

"Orochimaru, why did you summon me so late at night?" Manda roared angrily. "Do you believe I'll eat you?"

Orochimaru was already accustomed to Manda's temper. "After this, I'll get you some more sacrifices."

"That's more like it."

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Manda snorted. "How are we fighting?"

"Go to the battlefield ahead and scatter those Kumogakure ninja formations. Kill as many enemies as possible."

Manda glanced in the direction Orochimaru pointed, then sneered. "Keep your subordinates away from me. I have no interest in distinguishing between those insects."

"Understood. Take us there first."

Only after hearing Orochimaru did Manda realize that there seemed to be more than just Orochimaru standing on his head.

"Orochimaru, who's the other brat?"

"Do you think just anyone can stand on my head?"

Manda roared in displeasure.

Suddenly, pain flared atop his head. Then, a black-haired youth appeared before his eyes.

The youth's eyes were blood-red, and cold, ominous ocular power constantly radiated from them.

Looking at Manda, the youth spoke coldly. "Manda, you're starting to annoy me."

"Uchiha eyes..."

The moment he saw the youth's eyes, Manda felt as though thorns were pressing against his back.

His sharp instincts told him that the youth before him was best left unprovoked.

Making a decision in an instant, Manda chose to endure for now.

Without saying a word, Manda twisted his enormous body and swiftly slithered toward Kumogakure.

Orochimaru was utterly stunned by the sight.

No one knew Manda's temper better than he did. Even when facing Orochimaru, Manda would fight him at the slightest disagreement.

Yet now, even after Uchiha Mirai had pierced his head, he showed no reaction at all.

There was only one possible explanation—

In Manda's perception, Uchiha Mirai was far more dangerous than Orochimaru.

Could it be...

When Uchiha Mirai had fought him that day, he had been holding back by a considerable margin?

How had this brat acquired such immense power in such a short time?!

War? It Was Just a Mowing Game!

With a summoned beast like Manda joining the battlefield, Kumogakure's ninja immediately suffered enormous casualties.

The attacks unleashed by those ordinary Genin and Chunin were like scratching an itch against Manda.

"I'm going ahead."

Seeing that Kumogakure's formation had already been thrown into chaos by Manda, Uchiha Mirai no longer hesitated. He activated the Body Flicker Technique and vanished from atop Manda's head.

When Uchiha Mirai suddenly appeared, Kumogakure's ninja were startled at first, then quickly surrounded him.

"You arrogant Konoha brat, you actually dared to come here? Are you looking down on your Kumogakure grandpas?"

"Bastard, kill him!"

"So he's an Uchiha Clan ninja? Hahahaha... What a contribution delivered right to our door."

"Dig out his eyes. Then Kumogakure will have Sharingan too!"

Listening to the arrogant voices of the Kumogakure ninjas, Uchiha Mirai raised a hand and snapped one of their necks. A scornful expression appeared on his face. "Do you want to dance too?"

The Three Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly. Like an elegant dancer, Uchiha Mirai danced amid the encirclement of Kumogakure ninjas.

Yet with every move, he precisely reaped the life of a Kumogakure ninja.

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

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully plundering a reward: Mental Power +1!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully plundering a reward: Constitution +1!

"Too slow."

Listening to the system prompts in his mind, Uchiha Mirai snorted in dissatisfaction.

He had finally gotten an opportunity like this. If he could only harvest rewards at this pace, it would be far too wasteful.

The next second, Uchiha Mirai's hands formed seals at high speed.

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

A series of white clouds dispersed. Uchiha Mirai and over a dozen shadow clones formed a circle and began making hand seals at the same time.

"Fire Style: Majestic Annihilation!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Empowered by the Wind Release ninjutsu, the flames became a sea of fire that swallowed everything in every direction.

Countless screams rang out, and the air filled with the scent of scorched flesh.

At the same time, system prompts continued to sound in Uchiha Mirai's mind.

"Now this is more like it."

Uchiha Mirai smiled in satisfaction.

But in the eyes of the Kumogakure ninjas, his smile was like that of a demon from hell, filled with madness and slaughter!

"Don't be afraid! No matter how strong he is, he can't possibly defeat so many of us. Just hold on—this brat's Chakra will run out eventually!"

A Kumogakure ninja who seemed to be a commander shouted.

The instant his words fell, Uchiha Mirai pierced his heart. "That's a good thought, but unfortunately... you'll never live to see that moment."

Just then, a streak of blue lightning tore through the darkness.

Immediately afterward, a massive monster with the head of an ox and the body of an octopus charged straight at Manda.

"Orochimaru, you bastard! Tonight is the night you die!"

"Big Brother's right! Konoha will be driven back. Tonight might be a little tiring, but if we don't work hard, people might call us criminals!"

"B, shut up!"

A and Killer B, who had completely transformed into a Tailed Beast, charged at Orochimaru and Manda respectively.

With the two of them joining the battle, Kumogakure finally stopped its one-sided decline.

In contrast, Orochimaru and Manda were forced back again and again.

After only one glance, Uchiha Mirai withdrew his gaze and focused on harvesting the lives of the surrounding ninjas.

Perhaps because Orochimaru and Manda had been tied down, Kumogakure's elite ninjas began continuously gathering around him.

"Hahahaha... Lord A and Lord Killer B have come to support us! Konoha is bound to lose! Kill that arrogant Uchiha brat!"

"You killed so many of our comrades. Don't even think about escaping today!"

"Die, bastard!"

Although these elite ninjas could not put much pressure on Uchiha Mirai either, they greatly reduced his efficiency in killing enemies.

Uchiha Mirai simply stopped entangling himself with them and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer directly elsewhere.

"What's going on? Why did this guy suddenly appear here?"

Before the Flying Thunder God Technique had made its name, few people in the Shinobi World understood its power.

To these Kumogakure ninjas, Uchiha Mirai was like a ghost. Whenever he was surrounded, he would appear out of thin air wherever their forces were weakest.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully plundering a reward...

Large numbers of ordinary Kumogakure ninjas died at Uchiha Mirai's hands, and the elite Kumogakure ninjas nearly ground their teeth to pieces at the sight.

Whenever they were about to surround Uchiha Mirai, he would appear somewhere else. After rushing back and forth several times, they had achieved nothing and only exhausted themselves instead.

Seeing this, Uchiha Mirai gradually grew excited.

He had actually turned a war into a hack-and-slash game.

His rapidly rising attribute points kept his body in peak condition at all times.

Given enough time, Uchiha Mirai even felt that he could slaughter every one of the tens of thousands of Kumogakure shinobi present by himself!

As the casualties mounted.

At last, the Kumogakure shinobi near Uchiha Mirai broke.

After countless attempts and the loss of hundreds of lives, they had confirmed one thing—

If they kept fighting, every last one of them would die at the hands of this Uchiha demon!

And so, a miraculous sight appeared.

Uchiha Mirai, drenched head to toe in blood like a devil that had crawled out of hell, chased thousands of Kumogakure shinobi as they fled in all directions.

Before him, these battle-hungry men had all thrown away their weapons.

There was only one thought left in their minds—run!

Only by running fast enough and far enough could they hope to survive that demon!

Their rout triggered a chain reaction. Those Kumogakure shinobi who had no idea what was happening saw their companions fleeing for their lives in blind panic. To avoid being trampled underfoot, they could only turn around and flee with them.

The sight left Konoha's shinobi staring in stunned disbelief.

What was going on?

Kumogakure's shinobi had actually been slaughtered into collapse by Uchiha Mirai alone?!
