Naruto: Uchiha Plunder System

After a long moment, Yugao Uzuki finally regained control of her body.

She struggled to rise from the ground, her face still pale with shock.

The "will" Mirai Uchiha had just demonstrated instantly shattered all her previous beliefs.

Yugao had always been immersed in studying various techniques, never really considering anything beyond that.

But after experiencing what just happened, she felt as if she had been struck by sudden enlightenment.

Just like how every ninja has their own Ninja Way, swordsmen must also possess their own guiding principles!

After reaching this realization, Yugao's admiration for Mirai increased even further.

No wonder she's Senior Mirai. With just a few short sentences, her state of mind had reached a higher level!

"The blade's will must be constantly cultivated through real combat. Never lose your fearless and enterprising heart."

Mirai Uchiha beckoned to Yugao Uzuki. "Now I'll ask you again—are you ready to attack me?"

Upon hearing this, Yugao gripped her long katana tightly and declared firmly, "Senior Mirai, I'll fight you with my full strength. Be careful!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yugao's figure vanished from her spot.

Clang!

A sharp slash was easily blocked by Mirai Uchiha.

Yugao continuously swung her long katana, fully unleashing everything she had mastered.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

...

The continuous clangs echoed while sparks flared and faded away.

Realizing her attacks weren't having any effect, Yugao quickly retreated backward, rapidly forming hand seals with both hands: [Shadow Clone Jutsu]!

After creating three shadow clones, Yugao shouted, [Konoha's Nagare Kenjutsu: Dance of the Sword]!

The three clones instantly charged at Mirai Uchiha from different directions at incredible speed.

However, within just a brief moment, all three clones were effortlessly defeated by Mirai.

Yugao had anticipated this. While the clones attacked, she had already jumped halfway into the air.

[Konoha's Nagare Kenjutsu: Hazy Moon]!

From midair, Yugao dove downward while countless residual blade images enveloped Mirai Uchiha.

Clang!

A sharp metallic clash rang out, dispelling all illusions.

Yugao's katana was tightly pinched between Mirai Uchiha's two fingers, completely immobile.

Snap!

Suddenly, a crisp sound broke through the air—Yugao's long katana snapped straight down the middle.

"I lost..."

Yugao murmured softly.

She had poured everything into this battle… and still suffered a crushing defeat.

However, the scolding she had imagined never came. Instead, Mirai Uchiha gently helped her up from the ground. "Yugao, your techniques are graceful, but your fundamentals are still a bit lacking."

"Even the tallest peak rises from a broad foundation."

"From now on, focus on strengthening your fundamentals. I'll personally guide you."

After hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Yugao Uzuki nodded firmly. "I understand, Senior Mirai."

"Starting today, I will work hard to solidify my foundation and cultivate my own sense of 'will'!"

Mirai Uchiha lightly patted Yugao Uzuki's head and said softly, "You reaching this realization means my words weren't wasted."

"But understanding alone isn't enough. A good weapon can often help its user unleash greater power."

After Mirai Uchiha finished speaking, he mentally activated his ability.

A sharp bone blade emerged from his palm.

"This blade is for you—think of it as compensation for breaking your long katana."

Staring at the ashen-white bone blade, Yugao Uzuki gasped in shock. "Senior Mirai, t-this... really for me?"

"Of course. Although it's a bone blade, few ninja tools can match its hardness and sharpness."

Carefully taking the blade in her hands, Yugao immediately noticed a special marking on the bone blade's surface.

As Anko Mitarashi's best friend, she recognized this symbol very well.

It was Mirai's personal Flying Thunder God Marker!

As long as chakra was infused into this mark, Senior Mirai would immediately sense it.

It was literally a lifeline.

"Thank you, Senior Mirai!"

"I'll treasure it dearly."

Yugao Uzuki's affection toward Mirai Uchiha skyrocketed.

To her, a blade forged from Mirai's very bones was worth a thousand times more than Anko's "Gold Dust Kunai."

Now she wouldn't have to put up with Anko's endless bragging anymore.

We'll see who's envious of whom!

"Alright, let me now guide you through some basic movements."

"Yes, sir!"

Yugao Uzuki immediately started practicing movements with the bone blade.

Mirai Uchiha stood beside her, adjusting her posture with his hands.

"Keep your arms straight!"

"Yes!"

"Engage your core!"

"Yes!"

"Level your hips!"

"Eh?"

"Don't stick your rear out!"

"..."

"Open your chest!"

"Ah, Senior Mirai!!!"

Mirai Uchiha didn't relax his posture until he was nearly home.

The young girls were indeed full of energy, but they were still too young to even think about getting involved with.

They wouldn't be ready for anything serious for at least another year or two.

Until then, Mirai Uchiha had no intention of drinking poison to quench his thirst.

He forcefully suppressed his impulses and returned to his courtyard.

As usual, Mirai prepared a simple homemade meal, ate until he was full, and then sat cross-legged on the floor to meditate.

It wasn't until deep into the night that Mirai opened his eyes and rose to freshen up.

Just as Mirai finished putting on his pajamas and was about to go to bed, a soft knock came from outside the door.

Mirai frowned slightly. With a mere thought, his figure instantly appeared in the courtyard.

He opened the door to reveal a woman with long black hair falling to her shoulders and a gentle expression standing outside. In her arms, she held a sleeping infant.

The woman offered a faint smile despite her pale complexion. "Captain Mirai, may I come in for a moment?"

Mirai stepped aside to make way.

Mirai recognized her immediately.

She was the current wife of the Uchiha Clan's leader—Mikoto Uchiha, Fugaku's wife.

The baby in her arms must be Sasuke Uchiha, recently born.

But… What could bring Mikoto Uchiha here at this hour?

Mirai couldn't quite understand the reason, but he didn't dwell on it either.

If Mikoto had come to beg for Fugaku's life, she'd likely be wasting her time.

Back inside the room, Mikoto gently placed Sasuke Uchiha on the floor, then bent forward, prostrating herself on the ground: "Captain Mirai, no matter how many disagreements you have with Fugaku, please spare him!"
