Naruto: Saving the Uchiha from the Plunder System Chapter 45

Manda's enormous body was sent flying once more, carving a deep trench through the ground.

"Orochimaru, I did my best. Remember your promise."

"If the sacrifices don't satisfy me, just wait to die!"

After saying that, Manda's body turned into a cloud of white smoke and vanished from where it stood.

Orochimaru was also sent flying by A's punch.

"What the hell is Mirai doing?!"

Orochimaru panted heavily, his chest heaving violently as he barely held back a curse.

According to the original plan, once A and Killer B appeared, Uchiha Mirai should have immediately joined him in fighting the brothers.

But even now, he had not seen a trace of Uchiha Mirai.

Now that Manda had voluntarily released the Summoning Jutsu, he alone could not possibly withstand the combined assault of two top-tier Kage-level fighters.

"Do I have no choice but to retreat first?"

Orochimaru was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

If he faced A and Killer B alone in his current state, he would very likely die here.

But just as Orochimaru was about to send the signal to retreat, A, who had been relentlessly hounding him, suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning and sped off in another direction.

Orochimaru looked across the battlefield in astonishment, only then realizing that Kumogakure's ninja had collapsed at some point.

A blood-soaked figure was following behind the Kumogakure ninja, constantly harvesting life after life.

Orochimaru's mouth fell open in disbelief, his face filled with shock.

While he had been fighting A and Killer B, Mirai had single-handedly routed Kumogakure's ninja army?!

Splat!

After piercing a Kumogakure ninja's heart with a single thrust, Uchiha Mirai heard the system prompt sound in his mind once again.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully plundering the reward: Constitution +1!

With a thought from Uchiha Mirai, a semi-transparent sky-blue panel appeared before his eyes.

Name: Uchiha Mirai

Constitution: 515

Mental Power: 462

Chakra: 461

...

Looking at the three attributes on the panel, Uchiha Mirai's face was full of excitement.

In just one short night, his attributes had skyrocketed by nearly six hundred points.

His Constitution had even surpassed the five-hundred mark.

The explosive increase in strength left Uchiha Mirai somewhat dazed. He even had the illusion that he could punch apart the entire Shinobi World.

Besides that, Uchiha Mirai could feel that his Three Tomoe Sharingan had also undergone tremendous changes.

The soreness and swelling numbness had lasted for a long time, while his ocular power had also undergone an enormous increase.

Uchiha Mirai had an intuition that before long, his Three Tomoe Sharingan would evolve once again.

Uchiha Mirai knew very well that the next evolution of the Three Tomoe Sharingan would be the Mangekyō Sharingan!

At the thought of the Mangekyō Sharingan's strange and powerful ocular techniques, Uchiha Mirai could not help but feel anticipation.

Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Kotoamatsukami, Kagutsuchi, Kamui...

If he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, what ocular technique would he obtain?

As for Chakra, there was even less need to mention it. Even if he wanted to take the "humanoid mobile machine gun" route, he would never have to worry about running out of Chakra.

Thinking of "humanoid mobile machine gun," Uchiha Mirai rubbed his nose.

With his current stockpile of ninjutsu, even that famous "technician" from the original work could not compare to him at all.

If he chose the path of continuously unleashing ninjutsu to bombard his enemies, it really would not be much of a problem.

But after considering it for only a moment, Uchiha Mirai decisively abandoned the idea.

If he kept releasing ninjutsu nonstop, his hands would probably be ruined before long.

Unless he could someday be like Hashirama Senju and have whatever he called for appear, he would not try that kind of fighting style.

"Sure enough, a large-scale battlefield like this is the place best suited for me."

"Still... after this, I'll probably need to rest properly for a while, to adjust my mindset and adapt to this surge in power."

After taking stock of tonight's gains, Uchiha Mirai muttered to himself.

Although his system was a killing-type cheat, he did not want to become an emotionless killing machine.

After killing so many people, if he did not promptly adjust his mindset, Uchiha Mirai feared that one day he would become so indifferent that he would feel like he was no longer the same species as everyone else.

Even if the entire Shinobi World then submitted beneath his feet, he probably would not feel much enjoyment from it.

This was not some saintly compassion at work. As a human being, once one lost their emotions, how were they any different from a walking corpse?

Just then, a sonic boom rang out, followed by an angry roar from behind. "You damn Konoha brat, I'll kill you!"

Like a streak of blue lightning, A instantly appeared before Uchiha Mirai.

He raised his thick, powerful arm, clenched his fist, and smashed it toward Uchiha Mirai!

After charging from such a great distance, A's speed had reached its peak. Empowered by both speed and strength, his attack descended with thunderous force.

A tremendous boom erupted, and powerful shockwaves spread in all directions.

The ground trembled continuously as dust and smoke billowed up.

But in the next second, before everyone's astonished eyes, A's body flew backward like a cannonball, plowing a nearly thousand-meter-long trench through the ground.

"H-How is that possible? Lord A was sent flying!"

"You've got to be kidding! Lord A's fist could send even the Eight-Tails flying with one punch!"

"I must be under a genjutsu. With that Konoha brat's frail body, there's no way he could do something like that!"

The Kumogakure ninja cried out in unison.

As the Third Raikage's son, they knew A's strength all too well.

Back when the Eight-Tails went berserk, A had been able to withstand it through sheer physical power.

Yet after unleashing such a devastating attack, he had been sent flying by his opponent in the blink of an eye...

How could such an absurd monster possibly exist in this world?

Unlike the Kumogakure ninja, every ninja on Konoha's side was beaming with joy.

When they had seen A turn into lightning and launch an attack at Uchiha Mirai from behind, their hearts had leaped into their throats. They had feared that a genius ninja like Uchiha Mirai would fall here.

But to everyone's surprise, A was sent flying backward just as quickly as he had charged forward.

This instantaneous reversal left many Konoha ninja astonished, but they could not help showing delighted expressions.

"Hahahaha... This is killing me. That Kumogakure guy charged over so aggressively to pick a fight with Uchiha Mirai. I really thought he was something special."

"Idiot, A is the Third Raikage's son and the publicly recognized candidate for Fourth Raikage! He's a monster with physical abilities comparable to a tailed beast! Do you really think he's weak?"

"A is actually that strong? Then how did Uchiha Mirai manage what just happened?"

"I don't know. Maybe he's even stronger than A?"

"Gulp..."

Hearing that conclusion, the Konoha ninja looked at one another and could not help swallowing.

"Come to think of it, Uchiha Mirai alone scared those brainless Kumogakure ninja into fleeing in panic. He really was terrifying."

"Thinking back carefully, it seems like we won so easily today because of Uchiha Mirai."

"That's right. Luckily, he's on our side. If he were on the other side, I really don't dare imagine how things would have turned out."

As everyone continued discussing the matter, A struggled to his feet and, with a crack, snapped his dislocated arm back into place.

His face was grim, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

With the enhancement of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his physical abilities had reached an utterly terrifying level.

He knew exactly how terrifying his attack just now had been.

Without exaggeration, even if Orochimaru tried to take that punch head-on, he would have been pulverized.

Yet just now, that Konoha brat had sent him flying so far with a single punch.

Most importantly, A could feel that the brat had not used any secret technique. When their fists collided, he had relied entirely on his body's raw strength!

How could anyone in this world possess such monstrous physical abilities?

Was he some kind of monster?!

"Even if you are a monster, you killed so many ninja from our village. I'll make you pay!"

"Full-Power Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"

Lightning engulfed A's body, and all his hair stood straight on end.

The next second, A transformed into lightning once again, charging toward Uchiha Mirai with his fist clenched.

"Lariat!"

Watching A rush before him in an instant, Uchiha Mirai casually tossed a kunai into the air.

With his Limit Reaction Nerves and Three Tomoe Sharingan, his full concentration made time seem as though it had slowed down.

He could even clearly see A's twisted face and the yellowed teeth inside his open mouth.

"Die!"

A roared in fury.

But just as his fist was about to strike Uchiha Mirai's head, Uchiha Mirai suddenly vanished.

"How?!"

A's attack missed, and his eyes immediately swept the surroundings. Then he discovered that Uchiha Mirai had somehow appeared behind him.

Seeing the long blade raised high, coated in Wind Release Chakra, A was utterly horrified.

At his current high speed, it was already too late for him to evade Uchiha Mirai's attack.

He could only circulate the Chakra throughout his body with all his strength and desperately twist his body.

Slash!

The sharp blade pierced through his Lightning Release Armor and severed his left arm cleanly!

A burst out of the smoke and crashed heavily to the ground.

The sight left every onlooker staring in shock, mouths hanging open.

"No, what happened to Lord A's arm?"
