In the depths of the night.
Mirai Uchiha opened his eyes abruptly.
Upon leaving the room, Kurenai Yūhi and Asuma Sarutobi were already waiting.
Mirai Uchiha greeted them:
"Such early risers."
Kurenai Yūhi rubbed her hands:
"I'm a little nervous."
Asuma Sarutobi, for his part, raised his head and snorted.
Shortly after, Shinku Yūhi also emerged from his room.
They looked at each other, and in the next second, they disappeared into the darkness of the night.
...
More than ten kilometers from the village, after climbing a steep mountain path, there was a fortress resembling a village at the mountaintop.
Bonfire lights flickered everywhere, and occasionally, there was a commotion.
The four stopped at the outskirts of the fortress, and Shinku Yūhi said in a grave voice:
"A rank C mission is different from a rank D. A single mistake and they could really die."
"I won't intervene, so you must be very careful."
"I have only one request... have no mercy!"
Upon seeing Shinku Yūhi's serious expression, Kurenai Yūhi and Asuma Sarutobi nodded solemnly.
"The mission starts now!"
With the order, the three instantly disappeared from their position.
As they had practiced, they separated in three directions, stealthily approaching the fortress.
With the help of his Sharingan, even in the dense darkness of the night, Mirai Uchiha could clearly see his surroundings.
One, two, three...
After determining the location of the bandits, Mirai Uchiha walked toward them openly.
The bandit on watch, seeing Mirai Uchiha suddenly appear, was about to shout when, in the next second, he lost consciousness under a genjutsu.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully looting the reward: Constitution +0.5!]
There truly is no limit!
Receiving another reward, a smile appeared on the corner of Mirai Uchiha's lips.
Death is like the wind, always by my side.
Let the massacre begin.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully looting the reward: Constitution +0.5!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully looting the reward: Mental Strength +0.5!]
[...]
The system notifications kept sounding, and Mirai Uchiha's attributes began to change constantly.
Since Mirai Uchiha hadn't concealed his presence, the fortress had already descended into chaos.
After the initial panic, all the bandits rushed toward the direction where Mirai Uchiha was.
"That guy! Let's kill him together!"
Seeing the horde of bandits charging at him, Mirai Uchiha covered his face and laughed out loud:
"You want to dance too?"
Mirai Uchiha charged into the center of the bandit encirclement, cutting a path through them left and right.
He was like a dancer of incomparable elegance; every movement he made claimed a life with precision.
In just a few moments, the bandits suffered massive casualties.
And they hadn't even touched the edge of Mirai Uchiha's clothing.
"Dammit, this guy is a monster! A monster!"
"He's going to kill us all, run!"
"He's a Konoha ninja, those two bastards didn't send us any information!"
"Get out of my way, don't block me, run!"
Under Mirai Uchiha's massacre, the bandits began to scatter.
"That can't be."
They were his valuable sources of experience to increase his power. Mirai Uchiha had no intention of letting any of them escape.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"
"..."
Mirai Uchiha performed hand seals at great speed, quickly ending the lives of the bandits.
Soon after, the screams ceased.
The bandits had been annihilated by Mirai Uchiha.
...
"Really unexpected."
Shinku Yūhi, who had been silently observing the fortress from a distance, couldn't help but shake his head.
Originally, he had thought that Mirai Uchiha would use stealth to eliminate the bandits one by one.
But he hadn't expected the boy to choose a direct confrontation.
As expected from a ninja of the Uchiha clan, his actions were always so unpredictable.
...
Upon reaching the center of the fortress, Mirai Uchiha saw Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yūhi.
Both were covered in dirt and their expressions were grim.
It seemed like... they had been through quite a bit.
At that moment, upon seeing the immaculate Mirai Uchiha, Kurenai Yūhi and Asuma Sarutobi felt embarrassed for themselves.
If Mirai Uchiha hadn't drawn most of the bandits' attention, they would probably be in a much worse state.
"What does this mean?" Mirai Uchiha asked, frowning upon seeing a dozen elderly, weak, and sick individuals crouched before them.
"Mirai, they've surrendered."
"Even if we don't kill them, they don't pose any threat, right?" Kurenai Yūhi explained.
"Have you forgotten what Sensei Shinku said earlier?" Mirai Uchiha said coldly. "Compassion for the enemy will cost you your life."
"Hey, why are you so bloodthirsty?"
"Are you going to force us to kill these elderly and children?" Asuma Sarutobi questioned loudly.
The elderly, weak, and sick individuals crouching on the ground began to cry in unison.
"Come here, both of you," said Mirai Uchiha calmly.
A terrifying aura emanated from him.
He had just killed dozens of people, and both Kurenai Yūhi and Asuma Sarutobi didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"Mirai, I... I'll follow your orders," Kurenai Yūhi said, lowering her head to admit her mistake. Asuma Sarutobi clenched his fists but also didn't dare disobey Mirai Uchiha's order.
Just as the two were about to step aside, something unexpected happened.
The bandits on the ground gathered dirt and threw it at Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yūhi.
"Brat, you're truly ruthless!"
Two clouds of white smoke rose, and from among the kneeling crowd, two elderly women with fierce expressions simultaneously lunged at Kurenai Yūhi and Asuma Sarutobi.
"Watch out, they're ninjas!" Asuma and Kurenai exclaimed, their faces changing color.
They never would have imagined that among these elderly, weak, and sickly-looking individuals, there were two ninjas who had used the Transformation Jutsu.
We can't dodge it!
Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yūhi closed their eyes in despair.
At such a close distance, with the enemy attacking by surprise while they had their guard down, they had no chance of reacting.
SWISH!
SWISH!
Two sounds of blades slicing through flesh were heard. Mirai Uchiha, moving at an incredible speed, appeared and decapitated the two attacking ninjas with his sword.
THUD!
As the two bodies fell to the ground, the system notification sounded again in Mirai Uchiha's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully looting the reward: Chakra +1!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully looting the reward: Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!]
Ignoring the voices in his head for now, Mirai Uchiha directed his gaze toward Kurenai Yūhi and Asuma Sarutobi:
"Handle the rest."
Although killing the remaining ones would give him more rewards, if he could get Kurenai and Asuma to adapt to their identity as ninjas more quickly, a few attribute points were nothing.
After all...
For a long time, they would be his teammates.
