Immediately after,
the Body Flicker Technique activated, and he appeared directly behind Uchiha Fugaku.
He swung a whip kick at Uchiha Fugaku's head. Just as it was about to connect, Uchiha Fugaku swiftly raised his arm, spun around, and caught Uchiha Mirai by the ankle.
"What a cunning little brat."
Uchiha Fugaku snorted coldly and grabbed Uchiha Mirai, smashing him viciously into the ground.
Dust flew into the air, and Uchiha Mirai turned into a puff of smoke.
"A Shadow Clone?"
Uchiha Fugaku frowned.
"Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu!"
Two hands shot out from the ground, seized Uchiha Fugaku's feet, and yanked him down hard.
Another cloud of smoke rose, and Uchiha Fugaku's body turned into a log.
"Did it fail?"
With his ambush having failed, Uchiha Mirai shook his head regretfully and began searching for Uchiha Fugaku's whereabouts.
Suddenly, more than a dozen shuriken shot toward him.
Uchiha Mirai retreated at high speed. As he flipped backward, he casually picked up the refined steel kunai Uchiha Fugaku had thrown onto the ground earlier, then used his Sharingan to knock down the shuriken one by one.
Just then, Uchiha Fugaku appeared at his side, raised his leg, and kicked at his head.
The two engaged in close combat.
In only a moment, Uchiha Mirai was already struggling to hold on.
Whether in speed, strength, or technique, he was currently no match for Uchiha Fugaku.
"Stop!"
"I surrender."
Uchiha Mirai conceded decisively.
He had already used every method at his disposal. If they kept fighting, it would become a one-sided beating.
"Not bad."
Uchiha Fugaku could not help but praise him.
Uchiha Mirai had genuinely surprised him.
First, he had suddenly attacked while Fugaku was handing him the kunai, using Fire Style to block his vision. Then he had used a Shadow Clone to lure him in before finally revealing his true move, intending to restrain him with Earth Style...
Most importantly, he had timed every attack perfectly.
At the time, it had truly scared Uchiha Fugaku into breaking out in a cold sweat.
If he had not reacted quickly enough, and if the other party had not been slightly slower, he really might have been caught off guard and lost.
If that had happened, he would have been utterly humiliated.
Through this battle, Uchiha Fugaku put away the trace of arrogance in his heart.
Uchiha Mirai was not particularly strong, but that was only because he was still a student who had not graduated from the Ninja Academy. His body was still far from its peak.
To make him genuinely feel pressure with such strength...
The boy's future achievements would surely be limitless.
Uchiha Mirai knew nothing of Uchiha Fugaku's inner thoughts.
He was now completely immersed in his own world.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have successfully plundered the reward: Uchiha Style Swordsmanship!
Name: Uchiha Mirai Constitution: 8 Mental Power: 21 Chakra: 7 Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan Ninjutsu: ... Other: Shurikenjutsu, Trap Setting, Uchiha Style Swordsmanship
Along with the system prompt, a vast amount of information flooded into Uchiha Mirai's mind.
In addition to knowledge related to Konoha Style Swordsmanship, it also contained a great deal of combat experience and battle insights.
In just a few seconds, Uchiha Mirai possessed swordsmanship on par with Uchiha Fugaku's!
"As expected of the system."
"It's too overbearing."
Uchiha Mirai could not help but sigh in admiration.
At a time when his Chakra was still insufficient, this reward had directly raised his combat power by an entire level.
After calming down, Uchiha Mirai saw Uchiha Fugaku staring at him.
"Hm?"
"What do you think about what I said earlier?"
"What did you say?"
You little bastard!
Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth. "A true ninja should have a weapon of his own."
"What weapon do you want to use?"
Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's question, Uchiha Mirai smiled faintly.
Did he even need to think about it?
"I want to use a blade!"
Chapter 6: Farming Attributes Like Crazy, Strength Soars Rapidly!
Within Konoha's dense forest.
Uchiha Mirai held a long blade and continuously swung it within the open training ground.
His attacks were like a raging storm, yet his figure moved like a dancing butterfly.
Combined with the Sharingan, the unique elegance of Uchiha Style Swordsmanship was displayed to the fullest through Uchiha Mirai.
With a ringing cry from the blade, Uchiha Mirai sheathed it and stood still.
"A fine blade."
Uchiha Mirai silently praised it.
As expected of Uchiha Fugaku—he was truly generous.
A long blade with Chakra-conducting properties was extremely expensive. Even Jonin might not be able to afford one.
Yet he had simply given it to him.
There was only one thing to say:
Absurdly rich!
Just then,
a young girl ran out from the bushes behind him.
"Mirai, have you been waiting long?"
Looking at Kurenai Yuhi, who resembled a porcelain doll, Uchiha Mirai smiled and shook his head.
"That's good."
Kurenai Yuhi breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Uchiha Mirai curiously. "Why do you want to train with me again?"
"With my strength, can I really help you?"
"Of course." Uchiha Mirai smiled. "Kurenai, training with you is what I look forward to most every day."
Uchiha Mirai was not lying.
After he had plundered C-rank ninjutsu as rewards from Uchiha Fugaku for three consecutive days, Uchiha Mirai decisively chose to give up on Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Fugaku had mastered many things, but that also meant his abilities were too varied.
The odds of plundering a good reward from him were not particularly high.
Besides,
even if he plundered some powerful ninjutsu, he could not easily use them in front of others.
There would be no way to explain where they came from.
By comparison, plundering permanent attribute points from Kurenai Yuhi was clearly the more cost-effective choice for now.
"What do you mean, what you look forward to most... Watch what you say!"
Kurenai Yuhi blushed as she scolded him coyly.
This guy,
he was getting bolder and bolder with his words.
"Alright, Kurenai."
"Let's begin today's sparring session."
Uchiha Mirai urged.
Hearing that, Kurenai Yuhi clenched her fists. "This time, I definitely won't lose so miserably."
Three minutes later.
Kurenai Yuhi looked at the long blade held against her neck and unconsciously swallowed.
At such close range, she could clearly feel the chill radiating from the blade.
"I lost."
Kurenai Yuhi conceded decisively.
Facing Uchiha Mirai's attacks just now, she had not possessed the slightest ability to fight back.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have successfully plundered the reward: Chakra +1!
Feeling the Chakra in his body increase, Uchiha Mirai withdrew his long blade.
Sure enough.
Fighting Kurenai Yuhi, who had not mastered all sorts of random ninjutsu, was the correct decision.
"Kurenai, today's training ends here."
"I'll go catch some fish. I'll grill fish for you later."
