Mirai Uchiha moved through the crowd, cutting down Mist ninja one after another as system alerts constantly echoed in his mind.
As his attribute points steadily rose, Mirai felt a sense of fulfillment like that of a farmer during the autumn harvest.
As for the attacks launched by those Mist ninja, he easily dodged them all.
When an occasional attack couldn't be avoided, Mirai simply endured it head-on.
With Gold Dust armor, Shikotsumyaku, and his already enhanced physical strength...
If it wasn't for the fear of his clothes getting destroyed and revealing something shocking, Mirai wouldn't even need to bother dodging.
Just as he was thoroughly enjoying the battle, excited cries suddenly rose around him.
"Future-sama, let us help you!"
Looking up, Mirai saw Konoha ninja charging forward and engaging in fierce combat with the Mist ninja.
Frowning slightly, Mirai asked, "Who told you to come here?"
Hearing Mirai's scolding tone, the expressions on the Konoha ninja's faces showed emotion.
"Future-sama, you don't need to worry about us. Ever since we became ninja, we've already prepared ourselves for sacrifice."
"That's right. At least allow us to fight alongside you once."
"We understand your intentions, but precisely because of this, we can't just stand idly by. This is the Will of Fire!"
Seeing how all the Konoha ninja looked so fired up, Mirai could only stare in disbelief.
He originally only wanted to earn as many system rewards as possible, yet these guys seemed to have automatically imagined something completely different in their heads...
However, it was already too late to explain anything now. The most important thing remained focusing on harvesting Mist ninja quickly.
At this moment, all enemy ninja surrounding Mirai suddenly retreated.
Immediately afterward, thick mist instantly engulfed Mirai.
[Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!]
A disturbing acidic odor spread through the air. Without hesitation, Mei immediately channeled her chakra. [Corrosion Release: Melting Monster Technique!]
Large quantities of sticky, highly corrosive acid covered the entire misty area, producing sizzling sounds as it contacted the ground.
"It's over."
Seeing her attack land, Mei exhaled with relief.
Her Kekkei Genkai could corrode everything; anything struck by her Corrosion Release techniques would ultimately dissolve into nothingness.
Still, recalling how Mirai had slashed through the enemies earlier, Mei couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
So powerful... and yet so strikingly handsome...
If only he were a ninja from my own Village!
Just as Mei was turning her focus toward the other shinobi, an unexpected event unfolded.
A giant blood-red fist suddenly shot out from the mucus-like substance of the Boil Release.
"Watch out!"
[Water Release: Perfect Mirror Calm Mind!]
A smooth water mirror appeared in front of Mei, blocking the deadly attack.
Crash!
The water mirror shattered with a loud crack as Mei was yanked backward into the air.
"Mizukage-sama!"
Seeing the grim look on Yagura Karatachi's face, Mei couldn't help but feel a wave of relief after barely escaping death.
That previous attack had actually shattered The Fourth Mizukage's water mirror technique. If it had hit her directly, she definitely wouldn't have survived.
"I'll handle this guy. You go deal with the other Konoha ninjas."
"Yes!"
After Mei left, Yagura Karatachi looked at Mirai Uchiha emerging from the acidic liquid, his expression growing heavier.
From that earlier battle, it seemed he had been overly optimistic.
He hadn't expected a single opponent could shatter Mist's entire battle formation.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have successfully acquired the reward: Boil Release Kekkei Genkai!]
Hearing the prompt inside his mind, Mirai Uchiha quickly scanned the area but found no sign of Mei.
"Tried to ambush me and then ran away?"
"No big deal. We'll meet again someday."
Mirai Uchiha turned his gaze back toward Yagura Karatachi.
The Fourth Mizukage had a baby face, looking unusually young with a small build.
There was a fierce scar over his left eye, making him appear even younger than Mirai himself.
"Yagura Karatachi?"
Seeing such a distinctive appearance, Mirai Uchiha immediately figured out the identity of the man before him.
"Mirai Uchiha, your strength is formidable. Even I cannot be certain of victory against you." Yagura Karatachi spoke first. "It truly excites me to have someone like you as an opponent!"
Upon hearing that, Mirai Uchiha chuckled slightly. "Is that so? But I have no interest in considering trash like you as an opponent."
Yagura Karatachi's face instantly darkened.
He was the Fourth Mizukage of Mist, wielding great power and authority, with strength standing at the peak of the ninja world.
Let alone being regarded as an opponent, even earning his recognition was already considered an honor.
Yet this brat dared to call him "trash".
Absolutely unforgivable!
[Water Release: Water Dragon Shot!]
[Water Release: Water Blade!]
Faced with Yagura Karatachi's attacks, Mirai Uchiha simply stood still, not deeming them worth dodging.
This kind of attack couldn't break through even the most basic form of Susanoo.
Seeing his attack had no effect, Yagura Karatachi formed Hand Seals again. [Water Release: Water Mirror Technique]
A massive mirror of water appeared before Yagura Karatachi, but the next second, his expression drastically changed.
This jutsu was one of his signature techniques, capable of creating a perfect mirrored clone of an enemy through the Water Mirror. The clone could use the same techniques as the original.
Yet his chakra was nearly drained, and still he failed to produce a clone of Mirai Uchiha.
"Just how much chakra does that bastard have?"
Yagura cursed inwardly, forcibly producing an incomplete mirrored clone.
Looking at the Mirai Uchiha emerging from the water mirror, all the Kiri ninja wore excited expressions.
"With the Mizukage taking action, that Leaf brat won't be able to act so arrogantly anymore."
"It's said the clone has the same strength as the original."
"Mizukage-sama, kill that kid and avenge our fallen comrades!"
Each village's Kage held immense prestige among their own ninja. Seeing Yagura Karatachi take action, the Mist ninja all wore expressions of excitement.
In their eyes, although Mirai Uchiha was strong, there was absolutely no way he could rival the Fourth Mizukage.
Only Yagura Karatachi himself silently groaned inwardly.
He had been a bit overly optimistic earlier. This little Uchiha brat in front of him seemed unexpectedly powerful.
Of course, that was where it ended.
As the Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi possessed his own pride.
No matter who the enemy was, he was confident he could defeat them!
