At dawn.
Border of the Land of Fire.
Mirai Uchiha flew at high speed from the distance, standing on a platform of gold dust.
Arriving over Konoha's base camp, Mirai Uchiha dissipated the gold dust beneath his feet and began to fall from the sky.
"Hiraishin no Jutsu!"
With a low shout.
Mirai Uchiha's figure vanished in mid-air and reappeared inside his room.
He dispelled the shadow clone with a wave of his hand and, after checking that there was nothing unusual in his memories, he undid the barrier he had placed around the room.
For now, I have enough gold dust. I can consider the collection finished for a while.
Mirai Uchiha put away the storage scroll containing the gold dust, a satisfied expression on his face.
Most of the Land of Wind was desert, with incredibly rich reserves of gold dust.
In just two months, Mirai Uchiha had already collected an amount sufficient to face even a Tailed Beast.
Besides... the Magnet Style Kekkei Genkai was really convenient.
In addition to providing a super-strong defense and a wide-range attack method, it had also given Mirai Uchiha the ability to fly at high altitudes for long periods.
In the ninja world, the ability to fly was extremely rare, and most ninjas had no means to counter a flying opponent.
In the original story, Deidara was able to defeat Gaara in the Sand Village by himself precisely because he had the ability to fly. During the battle, the other Suna ninjas could only watch helplessly.
The fact that Mirai Uchiha had been able to escape unscathed time and again from Suna's targeted attacks was because every night he could see from the sky the ambushes they had prepared in advance, allowing him to avoid their main forces on the battlefield.
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
A knock came at the door. Mirai Uchiha straightened his clothes and, upon opening it, saw Kurenai Yūhi's flushed cheeks.
"Kurenai, what are you so happy about?" Mirai Uchiha asked with curiosity.
"Mirai, news has arrived from the village. We can go back today," Kurenai Yūhi said happily.
"Go back?"
"Yes. According to Shikaku Nara-sama, the ninjas on the front lines can return to rest every two months."
Here, every day was a life-or-death struggle.
Without proper rest, over time, a person could go insane.
"Understood."
"Let's go."
Although he could obtain daily rewards by killing enemies, so much time at the front had left him mentally exhausted.
Returning for a change of scenery was also a good idea.
The two entered the camp's tent, where Minato Namikaze, Shinku Yūhi, Obito Uchiha, Asuma Sarutobi, and the others were already waiting.
Seeing them enter, Shikaku Nara smiled and said:
"You've worked hard during this time. I will report your performance on the front lines in detail to the Hokage-sama."
"Especially you, Mirai..." Shikaku Nara fixed his gaze on Mirai Uchiha. "You have contributed to many great merits."
Not to mention that Mirai Uchiha had killed so many Suna ninjas, the mere fact of having served as bait for hundreds of them to fall into Konoha's ambush was already a great feat.
Hearing Shikaku Nara's words, Asuma Sarutobi, Obito Uchiha, Kurenai Yūhi, and the others felt that it was all a bit unreal.
A peer who had graduated at the same time as them had already become an exceptional ninja capable of standing on his own.
And they...
The less said, the better.
...
Konoha Village.
Seeing the prosperous buildings and crowded streets, a smile of relief appeared on the faces of Mirai Uchiha and his group.
Compared to the battlefront, this was simply paradise.
The constant tension they had maintained completely relaxed in that moment.
"Mirai, you guys go home first. We'll all have dinner together tonight," said Shinku Yūhi.
As the commanding jōnin, he still had to go report the details to the Third Hokage.
"Mirai, I'm heading off! See you tonight!" said Kurenai Yūhi, waving goodbye to Mirai Uchiha.
After so much time at the front, she could finally freshen up a bit.
Asuma Sarutobi nodded in farewell to Mirai Uchiha and also left quickly.
When everyone had gone, Mirai Uchiha walked alone through the streets of Konoha, feeling a bit bored.
Although Konoha was considered the most prosperous village of all, for him, who came from another world, it was nothing more than a slightly larger town.
He arrived at a sweet shop and ordered several skewers of three-colored dango.
He had barely sat down when he saw a boy dressed in Uchiha attire enter.
The boy had a garlic nose, large eyes, and lacked the usual beauty of the clan members, but he had an honest and simple appearance.
"Two skewers of three-colored dango, please."
"Thank you!"
After politely receiving the two dango skewers from the clerk, the boy looked around and found an occupied table to sit at.
But as soon as he sat down, the villagers eating at the table immediately got up and left with their food.
The boy looked for another target, and the same situation repeated three times in a row.
"Agh..."
The boy sighed and, with a resigned expression, found an empty spot to sit alone.
He had lost count of how many times this had happened to him. No matter how much kindness he showed, the villagers continued to avoid him like the plague.
Clack!
Seeing the plate placed in front of him, the boy looked up in surprise, but upon seeing that the person opposite him was also wearing the same attire, he felt a little disappointed.
"What's your name?" Mirai Uchiha asked, looking at the boy who seemed strangely familiar.
The boy answered shyly:
"Shisui Uchiha."
Hearing his name, Mirai Uchiha was surprised.
He didn't expect to run into Shisui Uchiha here.
This was the tough guy who could activate Susanoo with a single eye, and whose Mangekyō Sharingan possessed Kotoamatsukami, known as the most powerful genjutsu.
His talent was in no way inferior to that of Itachi Uchiha.
A pity that... in the end, he was ambushed by Danzō Shimura and committed suicide in resignation.
"And you are?" Shisui Uchiha asked in confusion, seeing that the young man in front of him kept staring at him, but didn't seem to have come looking for trouble.
"Mirai Uchiha."
"Huh? You're Mirai-senpai?" exclaimed Shisui Uchiha, his mouth agape in surprise.
As a member of the Uchiha clan, he was more than aware of Mirai Uchiha's exploits on the front lines over the past two months.
However, unlike others who focused on Mirai Uchiha's strength and talent, what Shisui admired most was his act of voluntarily sacrificing himself at a critical moment to cover his comrades' retreat.
That selfless act was what, in his opinion, conformed to the "Will of Fire."
"Mirai-senpai, it's a pleasure!" said Shisui Uchiha, standing up and bowing respectfully.
Looking at Shisui Uchiha, an idea crossed Mirai's mind.
Right now, Shisui Uchiha is very young and hasn't yet formed his own worldview.
If I can intervene properly, perhaps he can become a powerful ally.
Thinking this, a faint smile appeared on Mirai Uchiha's face:
"Nice to meet you, the pleasure is mine."
