Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

Sarutobi Asuma's expression turned grim as he stared at Uchiha Mirai.

"Uchiha… Mirai."

He had thought that after becoming the Guardian Ninja of the Daimyo in the Land of Fire, he would never cross paths with Mirai again. Yet here they were, facing each other under such circumstances.

"Asuma, do you know this guy?" the Daimyo asked, his voice trembling with hope as if grasping at a lifeline. "Hurry! Make him release me! I'll agree to any demand he has!"

Asuma's tone was heavy. "Mirai, the Daimyo is a symbol of this nation. You shouldn't harm him."

Mirai's voice was calm, almost indifferent.

"The Daimyo is an obstacle on my path forward. This twisted system shouldn't exist in the Shinobi World."

Asuma's expression darkened with sorrow.

"Mirai… was my father also an obstacle on your path?"

Mirai shrugged nonchalantly, offering no direct answer.

Gritting his teeth, Asuma continued, his voice cold.

"You could've just killed him and ended it. Why did you destroy his reputation instead?"

Mirai met Asuma's gaze, his tone steady. "I only revealed what he had done. His disgrace was his own doing, not mine."

Taking a deep breath, Asuma drew his chakra blades from his pouch and gripped them tightly.

"Uchiha Mirai, this time, I will stop you."

Mirai sighed. "Asuma, you should know that you and your companions don't stand a chance against me. Leave now, and I'll spare your life. There's no need to throw it away for someone like him."

But Asuma didn't budge. His resolve hardened as he glanced at the trembling Daimyo.

"I've found my true purpose in life. The Daimyo is the jewel of this nation. To protect that jewel, I'm willing to give everything."

Mirai's gaze flicked briefly to the triangular cloth tied at Asuma's waist, embroidered with the kanji for "fire." Without wasting more words, he said, "You've made your choice. If you want to die, so be it."

"Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!"

A burst of superheated ash spewed from Asuma's mouth, engulfing Mirai in an instant. Asuma bit down hard, igniting the ash in a fiery explosion.

The palace trembled violently.

But before the dust could settle, a massive arm emerged from the flames, slamming into Asuma with immense force.

Bang!

Asuma's body shattered into a wooden log—it was a substitution.

Nearby, Chiriku clasped his hands together, forming seals. Behind him, a golden Thousand-Armed Kannon materialized.

"Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder!"

The Kannon rained punches on Mirai's Susanoo, shaking the palace to its core.

"Lightning Style: Thunder Quartet!"

From the four cardinal directions, North, South, East, and West, four shinobi launched bolts of lightning that converged on Mirai's Susanoo.

Boom!

The ground quaked as thunder roared, obliterating everything within the palace.

The Daimyo, now rescued by Asuma, laughed hysterically. "We won! We defeated that arrogant bastard!"

But as the smoke cleared, the Daimyo's laughter abruptly stopped.

A blood-red skeletal frame stood undisturbed in the ruins, its surface gleaming, unscathed by the attacks.

Mirai crossed his arms, his eyes glowing with a faint purple hue.

"Pathetic. You couldn't even amuse me."

"Banshō Ten'in!"

With overwhelming force, Chiriku and the others were dragged toward Mirai.

"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Seedling Fern!"

Bone spikes erupted from the ground, branching out and piercing through the bodies of Chiriku and his team, leaving them lifeless and skewered.

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully plundering the following rewards: Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder! ]

[ Ding! Mental Strength +1! ]

[ Ding! Earth Release Resurrection Technique: Corpse Soil! ]

[ … ]

Listening to the stream of system notifications in his mind, Mirai approached Asuma, who stood protectively in front of the terrified Daimyo.

"Genjutsu!"

In an instant, Asuma's eyes went hollow, his consciousness trapped in an illusory world.

"In this illusion, you'll live out the rest of your life."

To the outside world, it was over in a heartbeat. Mirai's kunai slashed Asuma's throat, his body collapsing lifelessly.

The stench of fear filled the air as the Daimyo, trembling and humiliated, lost control of himself. Disgust flashed across Mirai's eyes.

"Amaterasu."

Black flames consumed the Daimyo entirely, his screams echoing as Mirai left the palace.

Outside, a crowd of samurai had gathered, ready to fight.

"Traitorous shinobi! You dared to harm the Daimyo—prepare to die!"

"Ninjas are nothing but unstable, treacherous tools. The samurai will be the sole strength of this nation!"

Mirai snorted in disdain as his hair stood on end, crackling with power.

A towering, fully-armored Susanoo materialized, reaching into the heavens.

The samurai froze, their bravado shattered as the massive construct loomed over them.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"This… this isn't human! Ninjas bring nothing but disaster!"

Before they could react, Susanoo raised its colossal foot and brought it down.

Boom!

In one devastating motion, the samurai were wiped out, leaving nothing but silence in Mirai's wake.
