Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: I Only Act on My Own Will

When Kurenai Yūhi and Asuma Sarutobi arrived, Mirai Uchiha had already cleaned up the battlefield.

"Mirai, are you hurt?" Kurenai Yūhi asked with concern as soon as she saw him.

"No," Mirai Uchiha smiled. "They were just three genin. I've already taken care of them."

Seeing Mirai Uchiha's carefree attitude, Kurenai Yūhi and Asuma Sarutobi were left speechless.

Just three genin?

You're just a genin yourself!

Asuma Sarutobi frowned, "Mirai Uchiha, that was very reckless."

"We act as a team. You shouldn't have abandoned us to act on your own!"

Hearing Asuma Sarutobi's accusation, Mirai Uchiha snorted, "I don't need you to tell me what to do."

"You!" Asuma Sarutobi became very angry. "Does this mean we can also act on our own like you from now on?"

"Have you forgotten what you told us before?"

"'War is not a child's game. Never become a burden that drags down your comrades.'"

"Weren't you the one who said that?"

Faced with Asuma Sarutobi's question, Mirai Uchiha gave him an indifferent look, "Asuma, rules are made for the weak."

"Until you can defeat me, you just have to obey my orders."

Right and wrong? Morality? Ninja rules?

He didn't care about any of that!

Mirai Uchiha only wanted to act on his own will. Trying to restrain him with other things was simply an illusion.

"Damn you!" said Asuma Sarutobi, clenching his fists, his face flushed.

As the Hokage's son, he had never had to endure such insolence.

Asuma Sarutobi swore that if it weren't for the fact he couldn't beat him, he would have already lunged forward to give that detestable guy a beating.

...

During the following period, Mirai Uchiha led Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yūhi on a relentless extermination campaign against the Sand Village ninjas.

No Suna ninja who crossed their path managed to escape.

Even some chūnin were powerless against Mirai Uchiha.

In just ten days, Mirai Uchiha had already eliminated ten Suna squads.

Twenty-five of them died at Mirai Uchiha's hands!

Adding that to the rewards obtained from daily training, Mirai Uchiha's attribute panel once again showed a significant increase.

[Name: Mirai Uchiha]

[Constitution: 130]

[Mental Strength: 110]

[Chakra: 101]

[Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan]

[Ninjutsu: ...]

[Other: ...]

Seeing that his three main attributes had surpassed 100 points, Mirai Uchiha nodded to himself.

According to his attribute points, he had already reached the level of a jōnin in all aspects.

And, thanks to his three-tomoe Sharingan, average jōnin were no longer a match for him. Only elite jōnin could compete.

If he added to that the explosive power of the Eight Inner Gates and the support of the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan, he was confident he could even face a Kage-level warrior.

In just a few months, going from a genin to this level...

Definitely, using 'cheats' is the right way to progress.

"This guy sure takes his time," Asuma Sarutobi snorted, looking at Mirai Uchiha meditating on a tree branch.

In the recent clashes with the Suna ninjas, he had barely been able to help.

Most of the time, Mirai Uchiha could eliminate all the enemies by himself.

This greatly frustrated Asuma Sarutobi, who was eager to prove his worth.

In his view, Mirai Uchiha had stolen all the spotlight from him. Even Obito Uchiha from the other team now dared to mock him out loud.

At this rate, how am I going to prove to my father what I'm capable of?

No. Next time, I have to act before Mirai Uchiha to show off.

Asuma Sarutobi clenched his fists.

During this time, he considered that he had made a lot of progress. It might not be as impressive as Mirai Uchiha's, but he didn't think he had been left behind.

Those Sand Village ninjas are just all talk. Nothing to worry about.

Just then, the sound of small bells rang out ahead.

Asuma Sarutobi looked up and saw a dozen shurikens flying rapidly towards them.

"Enemies!"

Asuma Sarutobi drew his special chakra blades and deflected the shurikens. Immediately after, he saw a ninja charging towards them at an impressive speed without any caution.

"Perfect!"

Asuma Sarutobi smiled coldly and immediately lunged towards the Suna ninja.

"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"

A cloud of high-temperature ash enveloped the Suna ninja and exploded instantly.

Asuma Sarutobi took a fighting stance, staring intently ahead.

The next moment, several shurikens spinning at high speed shot out from the smoke.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Asuma Sarutobi blocked the shurikens in front of him, and before he could catch his breath, a figure appeared by his side.

THUD!

With a side kick, Asuma Sarutobi felt everything go black, and his body flew away like a kite with a broken string.

Too fast!

The opponent's speed and strength gave him no time to react.

His ninjutsu from before seemed to have had no effect on him whatsoever.

Before he could stabilize himself, the Suna ninja was already in front of him. He had a gruesome scar running from his eyebrow to the corner of his lips, and he emanated an astonishing killing intent.

Seeing that icy gaze, Asuma Sarutobi felt his blood run cold.

From the beginning, the opponent hadn't said a word, nor made any superfluous movements, but he was about to take his life.

Jōnin! This is definitely a jōnin! Asuma Sarutobi screamed internally, but it was already too late. Faced with his opponent's overwhelming strength, he could do nothing.

Just as Asuma Sarutobi despaired, the Suna jōnin who was about to stab him suddenly stopped, turned in mid-air, and quickly formed seals: "Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

BOOM!

Everything within a radius of several meters was shattered into pieces by sharp wind blades and scattered, creating a vacuum.

And in that same instant, Asuma Sarutobi felt his body lighten and rapidly retreat a dozen meters.

Seeing Mirai Uchiha standing beside him, his back straight, Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a chill of terror.

A moment ago... I almost died!

For the first time, he felt the true terror of the battlefield.

When that jōnin was trying to kill him, he hadn't even wanted to waste a single bit of chakra.

"Asuma, stay with Kurenai," said Mirai Uchiha, slowly drawing his sword.

Hearing his voice, Asuma Sarutobi came to his senses and quickly warned him loudly, "Mirai, be careful! He's very strong!"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha... Asuma..."

"Huh?"

Seeing Asuma Sarutobi's perplexed look, Mirai Uchiha said calmly, "Don't use your perception to judge the opponent that my eyes see."
