Naruto: Saving the Uchiha from the Plunder System Chapter 48

"Shisui?"

Seeing Shisui Uchiha standing there with a bucket and rag, looking rather silly, Uchiha Mirai immediately understood. During this time, Shisui had probably been the one cleaning his house.

At that thought, Uchiha Mirai felt somewhat disappointed.

He had thought some girl from the clan secretly had a crush on him and had come to clean his house for him. Instead, it was Shisui...

His dream of a beautiful mystery maid was shattered.

Uchiha Ninja Should Be Like Senior Mirai

"Shisui, do you come clean for me at this time every day?"

Uchiha Mirai looked at Shisui Uchiha and asked.

Shisui Uchiha shook his head. "No, I usually come over in the evening."

"But when I passed by Senior Mirai's house just now, I smelled food..."

Hearing Shisui's answer, Uchiha Mirai smiled helplessly. "You little brat."

"Come on in."

"Thank you, Senior Mirai."

After bowing deeply, Shisui Uchiha immediately trotted into the kitchen to get himself a bowl and chopsticks.

Upon returning to the room, Shisui Uchiha eagerly began stuffing his mouth with food.

"This is the taste!"

"Senior Mirai, I've wanted to eat your cooking for a long time."

Shisui Uchiha spoke excitedly.

"Alright, talk less while you eat."

"Yes!"

The two focused on eating, and before long, they had cleared every dish from the table.

Rubbing his round belly, Shisui Uchiha let out a satisfied burp.

It was simply too delicious!

Being able to eat with Senior Mirai was the happiest thing in his life.

Seeing Shisui Uchiha's expression, Uchiha Mirai smiled and said, "Shisui, did you slack off while I was gone?"

Shisui Uchiha immediately sat up straight. "Absolutely not."

"Senior Mirai, none of the other students at the Ninja Academy are a match for me."

After saying that, Shisui Uchiha seemed to recall something, and his expression turned conflicted. "But Lord Fugaku spoke to me privately and told me to keep a lower profile at the Ninja Academy."

Uchiha Mirai gave a cold laugh. "That guy Fugaku really hasn't changed at all."

"He told me the exact same thing back then."

"Huh?" Shisui Uchiha's eyes widened in surprise.

From what he knew, Uchiha Mirai had never been low-key. He had been first in his grade ever since his time at the Ninja Academy.

During the graduation exam, he had even defeated Kakashi Hatake, who bore the title of Konoha's Number One Genius Ninja.

Now, his name shook the Shinobi World. Even the newly appointed Fourth Raikage had lost an arm to him...

He had never expected that Lord Fugaku had warned him as well.

"Senior Mirai, what do you think I should do?"

Shisui Uchiha asked for advice. "Lord Fugaku said that displaying overly formidable strength would draw the village's wariness."

"After thinking about it, it does seem to make sense."

"If we draw the village's attention too early, it might negatively affect your plans, Senior Mirai, right?"

Seeing Shisui Uchiha's worried expression, Uchiha Mirai gave a soft snort.

"Shisui, show your talent boldly and without reservation."

"There's no need to worry about the village anymore."

"With me here, no one can touch the Uchiha Clan!"

As the ninja clan that had founded Konoha, Uchiha Mirai wanted to lead the Uchiha Clan in rightfully taking over Konoha's power and ruin those few hypocrites. That was why he had not yet completely fallen out with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.

But that did not mean he would compromise with Konoha's higher-ups.

The ones who should be worried and afraid now were not the Uchiha, but Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.

Looking at Uchiha Mirai's confident expression, Shisui Uchiha's eyes were filled with admiration.

For no apparent reason, a clear realization arose in Shisui Uchiha's heart—

This was what an Uchiha Clan ninja should be like—like Senior Mirai!

Could someone like Uchiha Fugaku truly lead the Uchiha Clan well?

At that thought, Shisui Uchiha said solemnly, "Mirai-senpai, I understand what you mean."

"Please rest assured, I won't let the Uchiha prestige you built through your past exploits be ruined in my hands."

Uchiha Mirai patted Shisui Uchiha's shoulder in satisfaction.

Young, reckless, and sharp-edged—that was how young people ought to be.

"Mirai-senpai, are you planning to compete for the position of Uchiha Clan Head?"

"If it's you, you might be able to win everyone's support!"

Compared to Uchiha Mirai, Uchiha Fugaku fell far short.

In Shisui Uchiha's heart, Uchiha Mirai was the most perfect candidate for Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan.

"There's no need. Right now, my sights are mainly set on the battlefields of the Shinobi World."

"We'll talk once the war at the border has settled."

What he wanted most now was to continuously improve his strength through war. Fighting over power and status would only slow the speed at which he drew his sword.

"Oh, right." Uchiha Mirai took a specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai from his robes and placed it before Shisui Uchiha.

"Shisui, keep this kunai on you. If you encounter danger, channel Chakra into it."

"I'll be able to sense it immediately."

Because of his arrival, the butterfly effect had already begun to emerge.

Uchiha Mirai was not sure whether Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others would make a move against Shisui Uchiha.

Shisui Uchiha was a rare and valuable subordinate. To guard against accidents, it was best to give him a kunai for protection.

As long as Shisui Uchiha encountered danger, he could instantly teleport to his side using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Mirai-senpai, I definitely won't disappoint you."

After Shisui Uchiha finished the chores, he stopped disturbing him and left carrying his bucket.

Once he was gone, Uchiha Mirai fell into a deep sleep in his room.

His mind had been tense for far too long. He needed to relax properly.

A breeze brushed across his face, carrying a wave of heat.

Two months had passed since Uchiha Mirai returned to the village.

During that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had not sought him out again, and Uchiha Mirai was more than happy with that.

Other than occasionally taking missions with Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi, his daily life consisted of eating, drinking, and adapting to the surge of power his body had gained some time ago.

By now, Uchiha Mirai had completely adapted to the power within his body.

The emotions that had grown somewhat numb from all the killing had gradually returned to how they had been in the beginning.

On the street, Uchiha Mirai ate a small cake while looking at his status panel.

Name: Uchiha Mirai

Constitution: 521

Mental Power: 498

Chakra: 503

...

Both his Constitution and Chakra had surpassed five hundred points. Only his Mental Power was still slightly short, but it was already terrifying enough.

Uchiha Mirai estimated that, with his current strength, he had likely entered the level beyond Kage.

In this era, where Kage-level was the ceiling, strength beyond Kage was in a class of its own.

Moreover, Uchiha Mirai could clearly feel that his Three Tomoe Sharingan was nearly ready to evolve again.

"I've rested enough. It's time to head back to the battlefield and harvest another wave of attribute points."

Since everything had been adjusted to its best state, Uchiha Mirai planned to put an end to his laid-back life for the time being.

After tonight's dinner gathering with Kurenai Yuhi and the others, he would leave the village for the battlefield!

Right.

Uchiha Mirai rubbed his chin.

Before leaving the village, he also needed to give Might Guy a specially made kunai.

That way, when Might Guy encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from Kirigakure, he could quickly rush over to support him with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

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

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Uchiha Mirai sheathed the blade he had held against Kakashi Hatake's neck.

A burst of wailing came from beside him.

"So it still wasn't enough?"

"Kakashi, you idiot, you're already a Jonin!"

Obito Uchiha had originally thought that after Kakashi Hatake became a Jonin, he might be able to defeat Uchiha Mirai. Yet he still ended up being beaten one-handedly by Uchiha Mirai.

This left Obito Uchiha feeling utterly frustrated.

It was one thing that he couldn't win, but why was even Kakashi so far behind?

"Obito, Mirai is a powerhouse capable of defeating the Raikage. What's so strange about Kakashi not being his match?"

Rin Nohara looked at Obito Uchiha and chuckled.

"Tch."

"So what if he beat the Raikage? Once I become Hokage, I'll definitely be able to defeat every other Kage too."

Obito Uchiha said stubbornly.

But the moment he finished speaking, laughter erupted all around him.

"Obito, I'm not trying to put you down, but how does a dead last like you dare say something like that?"

"Exactly, exactly. A guy who needed two tries just to pass the Chunin Exams should stop daydreaming here."

"Alright, let's go inside and get something to eat. Our stomachs are already growling from hunger."
