Based on his experience from his previous life, this was absolutely not the time to comfort her. Otherwise, it might only become even more troublesome.
"Who said I couldn't keep going?"
"One day, I'll be able to defeat you."
Hearing Uchiha Mirai's words, Kurenai Yuhi immediately wiped away her tears and stubbornly put away the aggrieved expression she had just worn.
She did not notice at all that she had already been unknowingly PUA'd.
"I'll wait for that day to come."
"Rest first."
Kids who had not gone through nine years of compulsory education really were simple-minded.
Uchiha Mirai quietly breathed a sigh of relief, sat down beside Kurenai Yuhi, and began thinking about the system.
Out of the dozen or so battles just now, only the first had successfully plundered a reward.
From this, it seemed that the Plunder System could only trigger once per day.
This completely made Uchiha Mirai give up on the idea of rapidly farming rewards through constant battles.
However, Uchiha Mirai was not particularly disappointed.
Although he could only receive one reward each day, that was already quite good.
After all,
these were genuine permanent attribute increases!
With that in mind, Uchiha Mirai silently summoned the system panel.
Name: Uchiha Mirai Constitution: 8 Mental Power: 21 Chakra: 7 Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan Ninjutsu: ... Other: ...
For no other reason than that, watching the attributes on the panel steadily rise every day was simply pure enjoyment.
"By the way, Kurenai."
"Didn't you say you had already thought of how you wanted me to compensate you?"
"Tell me."
With his strength improved once again, Uchiha Mirai was in an excellent mood. He took the initiative to sit beside Kurenai Yuhi and asked.
"I like the food you make."
"If you make me another meal like yesterday's, then I won't hold it against you for kissing me."
At the thought of yesterday's meal, Kurenai Yuhi could not help drooling a little.
It had been so delicious.
A foodie like her simply could not resist it.
"That's it?"
"Mhm, mhm."
As Kurenai Yuhi nodded seriously, she could not help swallowing.
What an adorable little girl!
Seeing Kurenai Yuhi's dazed, adorable look, a wicked urge suddenly rose in Uchiha Mirai's heart.
He grabbed Kurenai Yuhi's chubby cheeks with one hand. Before she could react, he quickly planted several kisses on her forehead, then declared boldly, "I'll cover your meals for a whole week."
"Ah! Are you trying to die?!"
Kurenai Yuhi jumped away, her face crimson.
What kind of thought process did this big bad guy even have?!
"I'm not talking to you anymore."
Seeing Uchiha Mirai's mischievous grin, Kurenai Yuhi turned and ran away.
"Then do you still want me to cook for you?"
"If you miss even one meal, I won't let you off!!!"
Watching her flee in a panic, Uchiha Mirai touched his lips.
Not gonna lie...
Girls really did smell nice.
Smart Child, Plunder: Uchiha Style Swordsmanship!
Back in the Uchiha clan compound.
Uchiha Mirai spotted a clan ninja standing outside his door from far away.
"Uchiha Mirai, the Clan Head wishes to see you."
"Got it."
After quickly washing up, Uchiha Mirai followed the clan ninja to the home of the current Uchiha Clan Head—Uchiha Tajima.
"Clan Head Tajima."
"Mirai, sit."
Looking at the aged Uchiha Tajima, Uchiha Mirai sat on the floor and silently waited for him to speak.
Sensing his composure, Uchiha Tajima revealed a trace of approval.
"Not a bad child. No wonder you caught the Third Hokage's attention."
"The Third Hokage?"
"That's right. I called you here today because of this matter."
Seeing the confusion on Uchiha Mirai's face, Uchiha Tajima did not beat around the bush.
"The Third Hokage sent someone over today to say that, after you graduate from the Ninja Academy, he wants to assign you to a ninja squad in the village."
"What do you think?"
Uchiha Tajima looked at Uchiha Mirai as he asked.
"I will obey the Clan Head's arrangements."
Uchiha Mirai answered directly.
He was still in the stage of quietly building up his strength. He was in no position to raise objections.
Uchiha Tajima had called him over mostly because he wanted to get a sense of him.
If he truly believed that Uchiha Tajima was asking for his opinion, that would be rather foolish.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi's intentions, he could roughly guess them as well.
The man most likely wanted to brainwash him over time and turn him into a double agent like Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha in the future.
That worked out perfectly.
At the very least...
he would not easily become a target of the village higher-ups.
"Very good."
Uchiha Mirai's attitude greatly satisfied Uchiha Tajima. "As compensation, you may make one request. The clan will do its best to fulfill it."
After hearing Uchiha Tajima's words, Uchiha Mirai thought seriously for a moment before slowly speaking. "I would like you to send an expert to guide me whenever they have time."
With the Plunder System, naturally, the stronger the people he fought, the better.
Because powerful ninjas often possessed powerful trump cards.
"This..."
Uchiha Tajima had originally assumed that Uchiha Mirai would ask for money or ninjutsu scrolls, but he had not expected such a request.
He truly was a smart child.
After all,
the guidance of a strong person was not something money or a few ninjutsu scrolls could compare to.
Yet this request did not feel excessive in the slightest.
"Fugaku!"
At Uchiha Tajima's call, a tall, square-faced young man entered from outside.
"Father."
"Whenever you have time in the future, teach Mirai."
"Yes."
The next day.
After the Ninja Academy let out.
After leaving behind a homemade lunchbox for Kurenai Yuhi to take home, heat up, and eat, Uchiha Mirai went to the place he had agreed upon with Uchiha Fugaku.
"Let me see your strength first."
Upon seeing Uchiha Mirai, Uchiha Fugaku did not exchange pleasantries. He spoke directly with a blank expression.
Uchiha Mirai did not hold back either. He immediately activated his Two-Tomoe Sharingan.
He had no intention of pretending to be weak.
Because...
with his current strength, doing that would only make others think he was genuinely weak.
"Two tomoe?"
Uchiha Fugaku was slightly surprised.
Activating the Two-Tomoe Sharingan at this age without any resources...
he truly deserved the title of "genius."
However,
seeing Uchiha Mirai assume an attacking stance, Uchiha Fugaku frowned.
"You plan to fight me barehanded?"
"Then how about this?"
Uchiha Mirai took a wooden practice kunai from his ninja tool pouch.
Ninjas had high standards for food, and he needed to save most of his money for meat.
"Hmph! I don't have time to play children's games with you."
"Use this."
A trace of disdain flashed through Uchiha Fugaku's eyes as he tossed a refined steel kunai toward Uchiha Mirai.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
The instant Uchiha Fugaku moved, Uchiha Mirai launched his attack.
