Naruto: Uchiha Plunder System

As Mirai Uchiha walked in, Shibi Aburame began to sweat profusely.

A person's presence speaks volumes about their reputation.

If Mirai Uchiha showed up this late, it probably wasn't for anything good.

"Clan Leader Shibi, you seem rather nervous?" Mirai teased.

Hearing Mirai's remark, Shibi forced a weak smile. "Who could ignore the power Captain Mirai just displayed?"

Mirai chuckled slightly. "That was Boil Release, a Kekkei Genkai."

"You've probably heard about it already," Mirai casually said, sitting across from Shibi. "My eyes can copy Kekkei Genkai—advanced bloodline abilities passed through clans."

Shibi felt an unprecedented sense of oppression under that astonishing ocular power.

As the newly appointed clan leader of the Aburame Clan, Shibi had always been confident in his own strength. Previously, hearing stories about Mirai Uchiha, he secretly harbored a competitive spirit, unwilling to accept defeat.

But now… standing face-to-face with Mirai, he finally understood how insignificant he truly was.

Shibi couldn't shake the feeling that those eyes saw right through him—that their owner could end his life at any moment.

Under this pressure, Shibi carefully spoke up. "Captain Mirai, perhaps you should state your purpose first."

Upon hearing this, Mirai smiled and took the initiative. "I heard Danzo Shimura took away a promising talent from the Aburame Clan. Is that right?"

Uncertain about Mirai's intentions, Shibi could only nod. "That's indeed true."

"What's the boy's name?"

"Torune."

Talking about this, Shibi's mood also became somewhat gloomy. "Aburame Torune."

As the son of Shikuro Aburame, Torune had demonstrated extraordinary talent. At such a young age, he had already mastered control over nanoscale poison insects.

Originally, Shibi planned to cultivate Torune as the future cornerstone of the Aburame Clan, but unexpectedly, a few days ago Danzo Shimura suddenly showed up and forcibly took Torune away under the Third Hokage's name.

Seeing Shibi unconsciously clenching his fist, Mirai tapped on the table. "A genius youth who belonged to your clan, yet was cast into darkness to waste away—and as clan leader, all you can do is bury your anger deep, afraid to show even a trace of discontent..."

"Clan Leader Shibi, you should know exactly what Danzo's Root is like."

"This isn't the first time, nor will it be the last. Letting the hopes of the Aburame Clan continuously perish at the hands of people like Danzo Shimura—can you really accept that?"

Though a minor figure in the original story, Torune Aburame demonstrated surprisingly formidable abilities.

His control over nanoscale poison insects was exceptionally dangerous, and his strength rivaled that of an elite Jonin.

Against Fu Yamanaka, Obito Uchiha analyzed the ability of his [Kamui] within just one round.

This level of battle intelligence was no less than Minato Namikaze's.

Mirai Uchiha couldn't believe that Shibi Aburame harbored no resentment over losing such a promising individual to Danzo Shimura.

"Captain Mirai, I understand what you mean."

"But I absolutely cannot lead the Aburame Clan to oppose the Hokage. You should give up."

Hearing Shibi Aburame's reply, Mirai Uchiha smiled and said, "Clan Leader Shibi, you're overestimating yourself too much."

"I merely need you to stand on the side of the Uchiha Clan when necessary—this is your only use to me." Mirai Uchiha paused slightly and continued, "After all… your strength is expendable to me."

"Konoha was founded by the Uchiha Clan. I will have the Uchiha Clan reclaim what is rightfully ours."

"That's all I have to say."

Upon hearing Mirai Uchiha's arrogant words, Shibi Aburame was momentarily stunned into silence.

That man's ambition seemed even greater than he had imagined.

After a moment of silence, Shibi Aburame asked, "Even if I agree to your request, what about the other shinobi clans?"

"To achieve what you're after, the Aburame Clan's support alone probably won't be enough, right?"

"What about powerful factions like Ino–Shika–Cho who are loyal to the Hokage? Are you confident you can sway them?"

Hearing Shibi Aburame's question, Mirai Uchiha was ready and replied instantly, "Orochimaru's human experiments are backed by Danzo Shimura."

"Rumors claim the subjects of these experiments are criminals and orphans, but the truth runs far deeper than that."

At Mirai Uchiha's words, Shibi Aburame couldn't help but slam the table and leap to his feet: "Are you saying—?!"

Mirai Uchiha replied coldly, "Exactly as you're thinking. Shinobi from your clan are being used as test subjects."

"Now let me ask you again, what will your decision be?"

Shibi Aburame gravely stated, "If you can provide evidence, I can declare right now that the Aburame Clan will stand on your side."

No ninja clan could possibly tolerate their own clansmen being used as materials for human experimentation.

Especially those clans possessing Kekkei Genkai or secret techniques!

If Danzo Shimura and his group truly committed such acts, then no ninja clan would continue supporting such rulers.

"Good," Mirai Uchiha said. He got up and began walking outside. "When the time comes, I'll present the evidence before everyone."

"Clan Leader Shibi, I hope you won't forget today's promise by then."

Looking at Mirai Uchiha's retreating figure, Shibi Aburame couldn't help asking, "Captain Mirai, aren't you afraid that I might go directly to the Hokage and expose everything?"

Hearing this, Mirai Uchiha didn't even turn around, waving a hand dismissively: "Do as you please, but heed this one warning…"

"One misstep could drag the entire clan into irreversible ruin. Clan Leader, the decision rests with you now—think carefully. This may be your only chance."

As Mirai Uchiha disappeared from sight, a faintly bitter smile flickered across Shibi Aburame's face.

From their brief exchange alone, he had already sensed Mirai's personality.

Overbearing, commanding, arrogant!

Every gesture radiated an aura of absolute control.

Though everything was still in the planning phase, Shibi had an unshakable intuition—Mirai Uchiha would emerge victorious in this power struggle.

After sitting in silent contemplation for a while, Shibi drifted off to sleep, still fully dressed.

As for betraying secrets?

That was just a passing question. He wouldn't stoop to something so foolish.

Lately, there had been great uproar over Mirai capturing Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, yet the Hokage's faction remained suspiciously silent.

This could only mean one thing: against Mirai Uchiha, the Third Hokage and his allies had already become the losing side.

Besides…

Even if he swore allegiance to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, he'd gain no favor—most likely, it would only draw the flames toward him.

There was really nothing left to decide.
