Naruto: Uchiha Plunder System

"If you're bad, just train more?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Mirai's words, Kakashi Hatake nearly choked on his own blood.

He never expected Mirai to say something like that at a moment like this.

Shouldn't he be comforted and encouraged, reigniting his fighting spirit? That's what common sense dictates.

Seeing Kakashi's gloomy expression, Rin Nohara secretly smiled.

Strangely enough, being with Mirai always seemed to help her temporarily forget her troubles.

"Lyn, you're the same too."

"Eh..."

Rin's smile immediately disappeared.

You're truly equally tough on everyone!

"Mirai, I haven't had the chance to thank you properly yet."

"If it weren't for the scroll you gave me, both Kakashi and I might not have survived from the Rock ninja's encirclement."

"And... what you said during our farewell at the battlefield in Kiri also gave me a lot of encouragement."

Mirai waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry about it. I've already forgotten."

Hearing this, Rin looked slightly disappointed, "That's fine. As long as I keep it close to my heart."

The atmosphere gradually grew tense. Irritated, Mirai shot an annoyed glare at Kakashi, who was standing there staring, "Hey, can you stand further away?"

"Why should I?"

Mirai calmly raised his fist, "If you're confident you can withstand the strength of this punch, then you can keep standing here."

"Hmph!"

Kakashi proudly walked away.

After he left, Mirai looked at Rin, whose eyes had slightly reddened. He reached into his ninja tool pouch and pulled out a golden-colored kunai.

There was a complex black marking carved on the handle of the kunai.

This was a specially crafted [Flying Thunder God Kunai] made from Gold Dust.

It could not only serve as a marker for the Flying Thunder God technique but also be controlled at will through the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai.

It was an idea he'd come up with after one battle.

Besides helping in combat, it was also a pretty good gift.

"Rin, this is for you."

"Eh?"

"This... this is..."

When Rin took the kunai, she realized the entire weapon was made from Gold Dust. Her face instantly became flustered, "Mirai, no, this is too valuable."

"It's nothing to me," Mirai patted the gourd on his waist, "I've collected way more Gold Dust than you'd imagine."

Only then did Rin remember—Mirai possessed the ability to control Gold Dust.

Carefully taking the kunai, Rin's eyes sparkled.

Women can't resist gold.

Golden kunai? That goes without saying.

Heavy, glittering—simply too beautiful.

She picked up the Gold Dust kunai and studied it closely in her hands before suddenly asking curiously, "Mirai, what exactly is this pattern on it?"

Uchiha Mirai gave a brief explanation: "This is the Flying Thunder God Marker. With it, I can instantly reach your side if you ever find yourself in danger."

"I see! Just like Minato-sensei's technique!"

"That's right."

Rin Nohara shyly lowered her head, a slight blush creeping onto her face: "Mirai, giving me this won't make Kurenai jealous, will it?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Mirai smirked slightly: "Don't worry, she has one too."

Rin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as she patted her chest: "Good."

"Hehehe...I'll definitely carry it with me all the time. See you later."

Watching Rin's retreating figure, Uchiha Mirai turned his head and walked toward the clan compound.

As he'd expected, Obito Uchiha was chosen by Madara Uchiha and destined to 'die' in The Third Great Ninja War.

If he wasn't mistaken, that tree root that tripped Obito—according to Rin's story—was probably Madara's work.

In that case, to push Obito into darkness, Madara wouldn't leave Rin unharmed either.

Instead of staying on guard forever, it'd be better to just let Madara proceed with his plan.

After all, thanks to the Dojutsu ability [Ame-no-Koyane-no-Kami], Rin wouldn't truly be in any mortal danger.

And besides…

Because of his bond with Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, Mirai also didn't want to judge Obito before anything had even occurred.

This was also the final chance he gave Obito Uchiha.

If the other still chose to go down a dark path, then he couldn't blame himself for being ruthless.

As for why he didn't try to protect or change Obito before Madara made his move...

Mirai absolutely refused to keep an unpredictable ticking bomb beside him.

Only after the fuse was lit—and after confirming whether the bomb would explode—could he finally relax and decide how to act.

"So this is the Hidden Leaf Village. No wonder everyone fights over its land—it's clearly thriving."

Strolling down the street, Mei eyed the dazzling array of goods with envy.

Compared to Hidden Leaf, everything in Mist seemed drab and run-down.

"Mei, now do you understand why our village initiated this war?"

"Striving for a better life after gaining power is human nature."

"If we win this war, there won't be people starving to death on our streets anymore."

Master Genjo, a bald old man holding a dragon-headed cane, spoke.

Despite his teeth being practically all gone, he exuded an imposing aura.

"Lord Genjo, but we've failed," Mei countered. "So many Mist ninja died without achieving anything, and instead our situation has become even harder."

"Now we even have to come here to negotiate peace and compensation with Konoha..."

Genjo interrupted Mei, his voice heavy. "That's because Konoha gained Mirai Uchiha as an unexpected factor."

"Without him, surrounded on four sides, Konoha would certainly be completely carved up."

Hearing Master Genjo mention Mirai Uchiha, Mei couldn't help but gulp nervously.

Although that guy had killed many Mist ninja during the battle, it was understandable—after all, in war it's kill or be killed. Besides, this war was started by Mist in the first place.

But what really got to her was... just how handsome he was!

Just thinking back to how Mirai looked that day filled Mei with frustration.

Why didn't Mist have ninja with looks like his?

"Mei, what are you thinking about again?" Master Genjo asked the girl before him, somewhat puzzled.

"Nothing much. I just want to walk around Konoha a bit, is that okay?"

Genjo nodded. "Don't cause any trouble."

"And also..." As if remembering something, Genjo spoke seriously, "I brought you here to show you the outside world so you can better develop the village afterward."

"Don't randomly grab some boy on the street asking questions nonstop, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Mei nodded. "Got it!"

After meeting someone like Mirai Uchiha, her standards had clearly risen.

Don't underestimate me, Master Genjo!
