"Amazing! She actually blocked an attack like that. How come we never knew our village had a ninja who mastered such abilities?"
"You guys have been at the Frontline all along, so it's normal you haven't heard. This is Mirai Uchiha, the powerful figure who's risen strongly in our village over the past year."
"An Uchiha Clan ninja? She doesn't seem very old."
"No matter what, since Mirai Uchiha has come to reinforce us, we're safe now."
Many Konoha ninja present showed expressions of joy after escaping certain doom.
They'd all heard many times about Mirai Uchiha's story—she was the key hero who led their village to victory against both Cloud and Sunagakure.
Although they were currently surrounded by Mist shinobi, this mere hundred or so ninja from the Hidden Mist absolutely stood no chance against Mirai Uchiha.
Only a small group of uninformed ninja looked confused watching their comrades' excited, happy expressions.
After all, only one person came as reinforcement—why does everyone look like they've already won?
Mirai Uchiha lightly landed on a mound of earth and calmly said to the Konoha ninja behind her, "Leave those guys to me. Don't move from here—I'll make sure to bring you all back alive."
Her confident demeanor made the group of Konoha ninja shout excitedly, "Yes, Mirai!"
Watching Mirai Uchiha walk alone toward the Mist ninja ahead, someone still couldn't help but speak up: "Still, isn't this reckless? Going in alone like that?"
"That's more than a hundred elite Mist ninja!"
Hearing his comrade's doubt, a Konoha ninja who had once witnessed Mirai Uchiha's battle firsthand at Sunagakure snorted coldly, "Idiot, this is Mirai we're talking about!"
"Just keep your eyes open a little longer—you're about to see something shocking."
"Maybe…" another ninja said with a dreamy expression, "maybe you'll even witness the legendary power of the Uchiha Clan."
"The legendary power of the Uchiha Clan? Can she really win?"
"Absolutely!"
————
The Mist ninja grew tense seeing their attacks blocked.
Could it be…Konoha reinforcements are here?
Just then, they saw a single figure approaching them unhurriedly.
This left the Mist ninja somewhat bewildered.
"What's going on? How come just a little brat came over?"
"Is this some kind of bluff? Trying to scare us off using this method?"
"What a joke! Even if they wanted to send someone to cover their retreat, they shouldn't have sent just a little brat like this—Are they looking down on us?"
"Let's take this kid down. We can't let any of the remaining Konoha ninja get away."
"Kill him!"
The Mist ninja brandished their weapons and rushed toward Mirai Uchiha.
Witnessing this, Mirai's pitch-black eyes instantly transformed into the blood-red Mangekyo Sharingan.
His steps quickened as he dashed straight into the ranks of the Mist ninja.
Bang!
With a single kick, he sent the leading Mist ninja flying backward. The opponent's chest collapsed immediately—it was clear he wouldn't survive.
At that moment, attacks from the remaining Mist ninja rained in from all directions.
Mirai snorted lightly. His Mangekyo Sharingan easily saw through every strike. He dodged effortlessly, snatched a kunai from one Mist ninja mid-motion, and sliced open his throat.
Hearing the hiss of a lit fuse, Mirai hurled the kunai with an Explosive Tag attached into the crowd.
Boom!
The explosive tag detonated, instantly turning several Mist ninja into sprays of blood.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Mirai tore through the enemy ranks, cutting down every opponent with a single strike.
Within just a few minutes, dozens of Mist ninja had already been slain.
"I'll kill you!"
An elite Mist Jonin, who had been leading the squad, lunged at Mirai Uchiha with a kunai—only to freeze in horror the moment he locked eyes with the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Mirai grabbed the elite Jonin by the neck and slowly lifted him into the air: "Do you want to dance too?"
Snap!
With a sharp sound, an elite Jonin whose strength ranked among the top in the entire ninja world fell lifeless.
Seeing this, even these bloodthirsty Mist ninja showed signs of fear.
"This guy isn't human! Everyone, retreat now!"
"We're going to die if we stay any longer!"
Damn it! Someone has to return and report this intelligence to the Mizukage!"
Seeing the Mist ninja lose their fighting spirit, Mirai gave a slight snort. Instantly, his massive Susanoo appeared right in the center of the battlefield.
With a swing of his long katana, a massive arc of blade energy tore through all surrounding Mist ninja in an instant.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master – you've obtained a reward: Chakra +1!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Master – you've obtained a reward: Physique +1!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Master – you've obtained a reward: Shikotsumyaku (Dead-Bone Pulse)!]
[...]
Hearing the series of system prompts echoing in his mind, Mirai raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
He hadn't expected to gain such a reward this time.
Could one of those ninja I just killed have been a member of the Kaguya Clan?
Having released her Susanoo, Mirai Uchiha arrived at the hiding place of the Konoha ninja. "Finish cleaning up the battlefield," she said. "I'll take my leave first."
All the Konoha ninja gazed at Mirai Uchiha with deep reverence and bowed their heads. "Understood!"
After Mirai Uchiha left, every Konoha ninja—except the one who had already witnessed the Susanoo in the battle at Sunagakure—wore an expression of shock.
"Gulp… It's over? Just like that? All those Mist ninja are dead…"
"That giant god-like figure just now… was that the divine power of the Uchiha Clan?"
"Incredible! With just one strike, dozens of Mist ninja were wiped out. That kind of destruction... only a tailed beast could pull off!"
"I can't believe it. The enemy who pushed us into a desperate situation was crushed like ants."
Observing the stunned looks on his comrades' faces, the ninja who had already seen the Susanoo before couldn't suppress a proud smirk.
Back on the battlefield in Sunagakure, when he first saw the Susanoo, he had the same stunned look his comrades wore now.
Mirai-sama had saved him again. If possible, he truly wished to serve under a ninja like Mirai-sama for the rest of his life!
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but speak out: "Now you understand, right? With Mirai-sama providing support, it was only a matter of time before the Mist ninja failed."
"So... feel grateful toward Mirai-sama, because it was she who gave us another chance at life."
———
Mirai Uchiha didn't return to the camp, but instead made her way alone to a vast, uninhabited expanse.
She had received many rewards from the recent battle, so she chose this secluded spot where no one would appear.
After all…
Going through the spoils of war had always been her favorite part—she didn't want anything interrupting her enjoyment.
