Naruto: Saving the Uchiha from the Plunder System Chapter 7

Hearing Uchiha Mirai's words, Kurenai Yuhi immediately nodded obediently.

Uchiha Mirai's cooking was beyond reproach—everything he made was delicious.

What she looked forward to most every day was having dinner with Uchiha Mirai after school.

Very soon, Uchiha Mirai returned carrying two half-meter-long fish that had already been cleaned.

Skillfully taking out his homemade seasonings from his waist, Uchiha Mirai began grilling the fish.

The enticing aroma continuously teased Kurenai Yuhi's taste buds.

"It's ready. You can eat now."

Hearing Uchiha Mirai's words, Kurenai Yuhi impatiently took the fish from his hand.

"Hiss~"

"Delicious!"

Kurenai Yuhi's brows knitted together as she kept fanning her mouth with her little hand.

She had obviously burned herself.

Seeing how adorable she looked, Uchiha Mirai smiled silently.

Starting today, Strength, girls... I want them all!

Over the next month, Uchiha Mirai sparred with Kurenai Yuhi at the training ground every day.

Thanks to the system's rewards, his strength underwent earth-shaking changes.

Name: Uchiha Mirai

Constitution: 25

Mental Power: 25

Chakra: 17

Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan

Ninjutsu: Clone Technique, Transformation Jutsu, Body Flicker Technique, Shadow Clone Jutsu, Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu, Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu, Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu, Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu, Wind Style: Wind Blade

Other: Shuriken Throwing Technique, Trap Setting, Uchiha Style Swordsmanship

Compared to the beginning, every one of his attributes had improved enormously.

Especially his constitution.

His attribute points had more than quadrupled from where they started.

One had to know, this was an all-around improvement in speed, strength, endurance... everything!

His Chakra attribute had also increased by 10 points.

His Chakra was now more than double what it had been before he awakened the system.

Moreover, his Chakra recovery speed had become much faster than before.

Uchiha Mirai conservatively estimated that his overall strength had increased by at least four or five times compared to the beginning!

One had to know, only one month had passed.

This rate of progress was simply absurd!

Given enough time, what Uchiha Madara? What Otsutsuki?

He would crush them all beneath his feet!

"Mirai, the graduation exam is tomorrow. Are you nervous?"

After swallowing the grilled meat in her mouth, Kurenai Yuhi looked at Uchiha Mirai and asked.

"It's just an exam. There's nothing to be nervous about."

"True." Hearing Uchiha Mirai's answer, Kurenai Yuhi nodded. "For a genius like you, there's no need to worry about exams at all."

Over the past month or so, Kurenai Yuhi had become increasingly astonished by Uchiha Mirai's strength.

No matter how much she improved, she still lost miserably whenever she faced Uchiha Mirai.

"You don't need to be nervous either. With your strength, passing the exam won't be difficult."

Seeing that Kurenai Yuhi was a little anxious, Uchiha Mirai took the initiative to comfort her.

After all, the reason she was so lacking in confidence now

had a lot to do with him beating her up every day recently.

"Really?"

"I never lie."

Hearing Uchiha Mirai's reassurance, Kurenai Yuhi felt much better.

For some reason, whenever she looked into Uchiha Mirai's pitch-black eyes, she instinctively believed everything he said.

"Alright, it's getting late."

"See you tomorrow."

After parting ways with Kurenai Yuhi, Uchiha Mirai headed straight for the Uchiha Clan compound.

Outside the courtyard where he lived, Uchiha Fugaku stood at the gate, quietly waiting for him.

"You finally came."

"Is something wrong?"

Uchiha Mirai looked at Uchiha Fugaku and asked calmly.

He had no particular goodwill toward the man who would lead the Uchiha Clan to its destruction in the future.

The only reason he had anything to do with him was because he regarded him as a tool for farming rewards.

Once he became strong enough, the first person he would get rid of would be Uchiha Fugaku.

A man who only knew how to keep compromising with Konoha's higher-ups would only cause him trouble if he remained alive.

Uchiha Fugaku did not pay much mind to Uchiha Mirai's coldness.

He automatically attributed Uchiha Mirai's attitude toward him to a genius's arrogance.

After all, such a temperament was exceedingly common within the Uchiha Clan.

Meeting Uchiha Mirai's gaze, Uchiha Fugaku spoke in a low voice. "I only came to tell you that you should keep a low profile during tomorrow's graduation assessment."

Chapter 7: The Tree That Rises Above the Forest Will Be Broken by the Wind? Ridiculous!

"Keep a low profile?"

"That's right."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded. "I know that, with your strength, crushing those of your generation would be easy. But the tree that rises above the forest will be broken by the wind."

"Your talent may very well make the village wary of the clan."

"So... restrain yourself during tomorrow's assessment."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Mirai understood what he meant.

Although he had long known that beneath Uchiha Fugaku's seemingly steady exterior lay a weak heart, Uchiha Mirai had never expected him to be this weak.

He actually wanted him to deliberately show weakness during the graduation assessment.

The tree that rises above the forest will be broken by the wind?

Ridiculous!

"Weakness will not earn the strong's mercy. It will only invite even harsher oppression."

"If you want to escape a predicament, you must never forget to throw a punch."

Uchiha Mirai spoke calmly.

This was the Uchiha Clan compound. He did not need to worry about being watched by the Hokage's faction, so he spoke with fewer reservations.

He held Uchiha Fugaku's suggestion in utter contempt.

If backing down worked, then the Uchiha Clan in the original story would not have been exterminated.

On the contrary, only by displaying sufficient strength could they make those ambitious schemers wary.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

Uchiha Fugaku asked in disbelief.

He could not believe that a child barely in his teens could say something like that.

If these words got out, the entire Uchiha Clan might be implicated!

"Of course I know what I'm saying. These eyes of mine are more than capable of seeing the future clearly."

In the darkness, Uchiha Mirai's scarlet Sharingan slowly spun, radiating a cold and violent aura. "The pride in the Uchiha's bones will never break."

After saying that, Uchiha Mirai shut the door.

Blindly yielding would only bring increasingly ruthless suppression, until there was nowhere left to retreat and one fell into the abyss.

The Uchiha Clan's fate in the original story was proof enough of that.

Staring at the tightly shut door, Uchiha Fugaku's expression shifted uncertainly.

He had not expected to be lectured by a brat.

"Hahaha... Fugaku, I told you long ago that this little fellow was far from ordinary."

"Well? Do you believe me now?"

In the darkness, a hearty laugh rang out.

"Father!"

Upon seeing Uchiha Tajima, Uchiha Fugaku quickly bowed in salute.

"Fugaku, you don't see things as clearly as even a child."

"Remember this: blindly yielding is not a wise course of action."

Hearing Uchiha Tajima's words, Uchiha Fugaku was somewhat unwilling to accept them. "But... ever since the Second Hokage's time, the village has always been deeply wary of our clan."

"Wouldn't someone like Uchiha Mirai only worsen the village's suspicion of us?"

"Hmph!" Uchiha Tajima's smile vanished. "Fugaku, remember this: we have done nothing to wrong the village."

After saying that, Uchiha Tajima sighed and changed the subject.

"My body won't hold out much longer. After I die, you will become the next Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan."

"As Clan Head, your temperament is too weak. You worry too much about what lies ahead and behind. You need to be more decisive."

"Uchiha Mirai will be a very good helper. You need to build a good relationship with him."

Hearing Uchiha Tajima's instructions, Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly replied, "Yes, Father."

However, A trace of disdain flashed through his heart.

In Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, Uchiha Mirai was like a ticking time bomb, one that would sooner or later bring disaster upon the Uchiha Clan.
