By the time Mirai Uchiha had cleaned up the battlefield, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi had just arrived.
"Mirai, are you hurt?"
Kurenai asked immediately with concern upon seeing Mirai Uchiha.
"No," Mirai replied with a smile. "They were just three Genin. I've already taken care of them."
Seeing Mirai's nonchalant expression, both Kurenai and Asuma felt speechless.
Just three Genin?
You're a Genin yourself, you know!
Asuma frowned. "Mirai Uchiha, you're being too reckless."
"We operate as a team unit. You shouldn't run off alone like that!"
Hearing Asuma's reprimand, Mirai snorted softly. "What I do doesn't need your commentary."
"You!" Asuma was quite angered by Mirai's tone. "Does that mean we can also go off on our own like you?"
"Have you forgotten what you told us before?"
"War isn't a game. Never become a burden to your teammates."
"Isn't that exactly what you said?"
Facing Asuma's words, Mirai gave him a calm glance. "Asuma, rules are made for the weak."
"Until you defeat me, you should just follow orders."
Right or wrong? Morality? Ninja rules?
He didn't give a damn!
Mirai only wanted to follow his own path. Anyone who tried to chain him with rules or expectations was simply living in a fantasy world.
"That brat!" Asuma clenched his fists tightly, his face turning red with anger.
As the Hokage's son, when had he ever been treated like this?
Asuma swore that if not for being unable to beat Mirai, he would've already rushed forward and given that annoying guy a good beating.
...
In the following days, Mirai Uchiha led Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi in mercilessly hunting down Sunagakure ninja.
Any Sand ninja they encountered had no chance of escape whatsoever.
Even some Chunin stood no chance against Mirai Uchiha.
Within just ten days, Mirai had eliminated ten Sand ninja teams.
And twenty-five of them had died by his hand alone!
Combined with daily rewards earned from sparring matches during this period, Mirai Uchiha's attribute interface saw another significant boost.
[Name: Mirai Uchiha]
[Physique: 130]
[Spiritual Power: 110]
[Chakra: 101]
[Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan]
[Ninjutsu: …]
[Other: …]
Looking at his three attributes—Physique, Spiritual Power, and Chakra—that had all surpassed 100, Mirai Uchiha nodded silently to himself.
By the numbers alone, he had already reached the level of a Jonin in every aspect.
Moreover… thanks to the enhancement from his triple-comma Sharingan, ordinary Jonin no longer stood a chance against him. Only elite Jonin could hope to challenge him.
And if he unleashed the Eight Gates, along with the Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan, even S-rank ninja would be opponents he could face with confidence.
In just a few months, rising from a lowly Genin to this level…
Indeed, cheating was clearly the only way to win.
"That guy's really relaxed," Asuma Sarutobi muttered with a snort, glancing at Mirai Uchiha resting leisurely against a tree trunk with his eyes closed.
In recent skirmishes against the Sunagakure ninja, he had barely been able to contribute anything.
Most of the time, Mirai alone had been more than capable of handling every enemy.
This gnawed at Asuma—he was desperate to prove himself.
In his opinion, Mirai had stolen all the glory that should have belonged to him, and even Obito Uchiha now dared to openly mock him.
How could he ever prove himself to his father like this?
"No way. Next time, I must show off before Mirai does."
Asuma clenched his fist tightly.
He believed he had improved quite a lot recently. Perhaps not as dramatically as Mirai, but he shouldn't be far behind.
Those Sunagakure ninja weren't worth worrying about anyway—they were nothing but pushovers.
Just then, the ringing of bells echoed ahead—an ominous warning.
Asuma looked up and saw dozens of shuriken flying rapidly toward them.
"Enemy attack!"
Asuma drew his special chakra blade and swept his hand upward, knocking down the incoming shuriken. Then he spotted a ninja charging forward at high speed without hesitation.
"This is perfect!"
Smirking coldly, Asuma immediately rushed toward the Sand ninja.
[Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!]
A jet of superheated ash engulfed the enemy before erupting violently.
Striking a pose, Asuma fixed his gaze firmly on the battlefield ahead.
The next moment, several rapidly spinning shurikens burst forth from the smoke.
DING!
DING!
DING!
Asuma deflected the cluster of shuriken in front of him, but before he could even catch his breath, a shadow swiftly appeared at his side.
THUD!
A powerful kick sent Asuma Sarutobi reeling, his vision darkening as his body flew backward like a broken kite with its string cut.
Too fast!
The opponent's speed and strength left him no time to react at all.
His just-launched Ninjutsu seemed to have absolutely no effect on the enemy.
Before he could stabilize himself, the Sunagakure ninja had already rushed right in front of him. There was a brutal scar stretching from the enemy's eyebrow to the corner of his mouth, radiating terrifying killing intent.
Facing those cold, emotionless eyes, Asuma felt his blood run ice-cold.
From beginning to end, the enemy hadn't said a single word or made any unnecessary movement, yet was about to take his life in an instant.
"Jonin! This must be a Jonin!"
Asuma screamed inwardly, but it was already too late for words. Before such overwhelming power, he couldn't even muster the slightest reaction.
Just as Asuma was falling into despair, the Sunagakure Jonin who had been about to strike him suddenly withdrew. Twisting midair, the enemy rapidly formed hand seals: "Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
[Boom!]
Everything within several meters ahead was sliced apart by razor-sharp gusts of wind, scattering into fragments and leaving behind a vacuum zone.
At that exact moment, Asuma suddenly felt his body become weightless, shooting backward more than ten meters in an instant.
Looking beside him at Mirai Uchiha—standing straight and calm—he couldn't help feeling a wave of fear.
Just now... I almost died!
This was his first true encounter with battlefield terror.
That Jonin had tried to kill him without even wasting a drop of chakra.
"Asuma, stay with Kurenai," Mirai Uchiha said calmly while slowly drawing the long katana at her waist.
Hearing her voice, Asuma snapped out of shock and quickly warned aloud, "Mirai, be careful! He's really strong!"
[Hahahaha, Asuma...]
[Huh?]
Meeting Asuma's confused gaze, Mirai spoke indifferently, "Don't let your own feelings decide the strength of my enemy."
