Naruto: Uchiha Plunder System

"Mom, let me help you clean up." 

Looking at Sasuke Uchiha, Mikoto Uchiha pushed some slightly messy strands of hair behind her ear and managed a smile. Gently, she said, "Sasuke, let Mom take care of this. You go do your homework." 

"Oh right... I heard there's a boy named Naruto in your class?" 

Sasuke Uchiha nodded. "Yeah, he's the dead last who only plays pranks all day. Just seeing him gets on my nerves." 

Upon hearing this, Mikoto sighed: "Sasuke, don't bully Naruto, understand?" 

"As long as he doesn't provoke me first, I won't even bother with him." Sasuke waved his hand and ran out of the room: "Then I'll go do my homework now." 

Watching her son leave, Mikoto Uchiha sighed helplessly again. 

As a member of the Uchiha Clan, she was powerless to do anything about that child Naruto. 

And besides... even matters within her own family already overwhelmed her. 

She had prepared an elaborate dinner today, originally hoping for a family meal together to ease the tense atmosphere at home recently. 

But both Fugaku and Itachi seemed preoccupied, barely speaking a few words before leaving separately. 

For some reason, Mikoto always felt like the situation was charged with danger, like a storm waiting to erupt. 

... 

Late at night. 

Mikoto Uchiha remained quietly inside the room. 

Beside her stood Fugaku Uchiha. 

Hearing the agonized cries from outside, Mikoto Uchiha sighed: "Fugaku, is this really how the Uchiha Clan meets its end?" 

Fugaku Uchiha's expression remained stoic as he answered gravely, "The radical faction in the clan has gone beyond control. Itachi has also chosen to side with the Hokage." 

"I respect Itachi's decision. If it must come between disgracing the Uchiha Clan or simply accepting our fate, then we should choose the latter." 

"The burden Itachi carries must be heavier than we can ever imagine." 

After listening to Fugaku's words, Mikoto Uchiha remained silent. 

If only Fugaku could have been more decisive earlier, firmly choosing one side and suppressing the other, would they have ended up here today? 

Isn't it because the father placed everything on his son's shoulders without making a firm decision himself that their son now bears so much? 

But at this point, Mikoto had nothing more to say. 

Eventually, silence returned outside once more. 

The door creaked open gently, followed by heavy footsteps approaching from behind. 

After a short pause, Fugaku Uchiha spoke first: "Itachi, if this is truly your choice... then do what must be done." 

A sob escaped from behind them. Mikoto Uchiha spoke with a pained voice, "Itachi, please take care of Sasuke."

A few seconds later, Mikoto Uchiha only felt a sharp pain in her neck before everything before her eyes quickly turned dark. "So it's really over then..."

...

"Hey look, that's the last surviving child of the Uchiha Clan."

"He acts so arrogant. I wonder what he's trying to show off about."

"Shh, don't provoke someone like that. I heard people from the Uchiha Clan are dangerous."

"He wiped out his whole clan himself—how can someone like him even dare to live? He ought to kill himself to atone for his crimes!"

Hearing the surrounding murmurs, Mikoto Uchiha slowly opened her eyes.

What appeared before her seemed to be a classroom inside the Ninja Academy. A boy with empty, lifeless eyes sat alone at the back row, while other children whispered and pointed at him behind his back.

"Sasuke?"

"Didn't I die already?"

Mikoto glanced down at herself in surprise, only to realize she could no longer feel her own body.

It was as if watching a movie—able to see and hear, but nothing more.

After her initial panic passed, Mikoto calmed herself.

Perhaps this was simply what the afterlife was like?

Being able to silently stay by her son's side and watch him grow up didn't seem like such a bad choice.

However, after observing patiently for a while, Mikoto's expression gradually darkened.

These kids were deliberately isolating Sasuke.

And...

From their words, Itachi had become a rogue ninja?

How could that be? Itachi had clearly sided with the Third Hokage, sacrificing the entire clan if necessary. So why was he now labeled a rogue?

Ding Ling Ling!

Finally, the class ended with the ringing of the bell. Mikoto watched as Sasuke left school without even looking back.

He went straight to an abandoned training ground inside the Uchiha compound and began practicing shuriken techniques, kunai skills, and taijutsu alone...

"Itachi Uchiha, you bastard—I swear I'll kill you!"

Training nonstop until late into the night, Sasuke finally returned home exhausted, wrapping his bleeding hands and legs tightly in bandages.

After cooking some simple noodles alone, Sasuke lay down on his bed.

The lamp went out.

Suddenly, Sasuke pulled the covers completely over his head, curling tightly into a ball.

As quiet sobbing came from beneath the blanket, Mikoto felt her heart break.

What had happened during the time she was dead? Why had Sasuke changed into this version of himself?

...

"Sasuke, come with me. Only I can help you achieve your revenge."

"Naruto, I don't need bonds! One careless mistake on my part could get you killed!"

"Orochimaru, you've lost."

"From today onward, Team 'Snake' is formed."

Target – Eliminate Itachi!

Itachi, my eyes can already see through your genjutsu!

...

Haa! Haa! Haa!

Sasuke gasped heavily, staring at Itachi approaching step by step with terror in his eyes.

He desperately hurled all the weapons in his hands toward Itachi, but they were effortlessly blocked by Susanoo.

Finally, Itachi reached Sasuke's side.

A bloodied hand stretched toward him.

No-no... Please, no...

As Sasuke whispered in fear, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Itachi's face.

Slap!

Forgive me, Sasuke. This will be the final time.

Two limp fingers tapped lightly on Sasuke's forehead before slowly sliding off.

In the end, Itachi collapsed onto the ground, lifeless.

Sasuke, equally exhausted, lay sprawled on the ground too. His eyes showed no joy at having killed Itachi—only endless emptiness.

Drizzling rain fell from the sky, and the warm childhood memories of the two brothers playing together had now turned into a final action before parting life and death.

Mikoto felt an overwhelming sadness rise from deep within her heart.

She had originally believed that after Itachi destroyed the Uchiha Clan, he would become a hero of the village and help Sasuke grow into his own.

But things didn't go as planned—the Uchiha Clan was annihilated, Itachi became a wanted rogue ninja, and filled with hatred, Sasuke also became a rogue ninja.

Eventually, Itachi and Sasuke ended up taking each other's lives...

How did everything come to this?

If only there was another chance...

---

Under a dim yellow light, a strange yet familiar face appeared before her.

The figure lifted her chin, lips curling slightly into a smile.

How was the experience, Mikoto?

The voice seemed distant, like from far away, and Mikoto blinked confusedly.

After a long while, chaotic memories flooded her mind, and Mikoto suddenly came to her senses…

Is this... reality?

Looking at the man before her, Mikoto couldn't help but exclaim in shock: You're... Mirai Uchiha!
