But what no one expected was that, upon arriving, the first thing they saw were the corpses of two Sand Village ninjas lying lifeless on the ground.
Not far away, the ninja named Rasa was controlling an immense amount of golden sand, preparing to launch a devastating attack.
Fortunately, Minato Namikaze-senpai mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique; otherwise, Mirai Uchiha would probably have died from that attack.
"Mirai, you have no idea how dangerous it all was," Kurenai Yūhi said, still scared. "If we had arrived a little later, I would never have seen you again."
Until now, she still felt a lingering fear. The situation had been too dangerous.
"Ah... there was nothing that could be done," Mirai Uchiha said with a smile, pinching Kurenai's cheek. "If I hadn't stayed behind to cover for you, you guys wouldn't have made it."
At that moment, it was true that he was almost exhausted, but the real situation wasn't as dangerous as Kurenai imagined.
After all... with the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could transport himself to a completely safe place at any time.
Of course, that wasn't something he was going to volunteer.
"Mirai, you're so good to me."
Kurenai was moved by Mirai Uchiha's words.
A ninja genius with an unlimited future who, at the most critical moment, chose to stay behind alone for her...
Kurenai threw herself into Mirai Uchiha's arms.
Shortly after.
"Ahem! Ahem, ahem...!"
Seeing his daughter embracing Mirai Uchiha, Shinku Yūhi coughed loudly a couple of times.
Kurenai Yūhi was startled and, turning around, saw her father next to Shikaku Nara, Minato Namikaze, and the others.
"Mirai, you've finally woken up," Shikaku Nara said, breaking the silence as he saw Kurenai's shy expression. "Is your body okay?"
Mirai Uchiha discreetly let go of Kurenai:
"I'm fine, just a little exhausted."
Seeing that Mirai Uchiha didn't seem to have any serious injuries, the others were even more surprised.
A thirteen-year-old boy, facing the assault of a Kage-level warrior and two jōnin, not only came out unscathed but also killed the two enemy jōnin...
If such a feat were to spread, the entire ninja world would tremble!
Shikaku Nara approached Mirai Uchiha's bed:
"Mirai, can you tell us in detail what the battle was like?"
"At that time, I judged that the enemy's strength was very high, so I ordered Kurenai and Asuma to retreat first."
"To prevent them from being pursued, I opened the Eight Inner Gates."
"That's how I was able to hold out until you arrived."
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's explanation, Shinku Yūhi nodded:
"When we were in the village, Mirai trained for a while with a ninja named Might Duy."
"It was Might Duy who taught him the Eight Inner Gates technique."
Hearing this, Shikaku Nara was surprised:
"You mean that Might Duy known as the 'Eternal Genin'?"
"That's right."
Shikaku Nara held his breath.
He considered himself a person with a quick mind, but at that moment, he felt like he couldn't understand anything.
A secret technique taught by an "Eternal Genin" helped another genin resist the assault of a Kage and two jōnin, and even kill two of them in the process.
Why did he feel like, all of a sudden, he no longer recognized the world he lived in?
"By the way, what happened after I passed out that day?"
"It's a bit embarrassing to say, but that ninja named Rasa escaped," Minato Namikaze replied.
Mirai Uchiha nodded indifferently.
Shinku Yūhi specialized in genjutsu, but his strength had not yet reached the level of an elite jōnin, so he probably couldn't be of much help in a battle against Rasa.
And Minato's style was precisely the least suitable for facing ninjas like Rasa, who were experts in wide-range and defensive kekkei genkai.
Especially since Rasa could also fly using his Magnet Release.
So... the fact that he managed to escape was not surprising at all.
After reviewing the events of that day in detail and seeing that Mirai Uchiha was truly fine, Shikaku Nara and the others left.
When everyone was gone, a sharp glint flashed in Mirai Uchiha's eyes.
In the battle against Rasa, he had obtained the "Magnet Release: Gold Dust" Kekkei Genkai.
Since the system awakened, this was the first time he had plundered a kekkei genkai reward.
To have obtained it in his first confrontation with Rasa... he couldn't have been luckier.
Looks like I'll have to find time to go to the desert to get some gold dust to keep in reserve, Mirai Uchiha muttered to himself.
In the battle against Rasa, he had experienced firsthand the power of the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai.
As long as he didn't face attacks as absurd as the Susanoo or Shinsuusenju, in this era, the Magnet Release truly deserved the title of "absolute defense."
Ninjas who lacked great destructive power would probably feel a deep sense of helplessness against it.
Such a powerful kekkei genkai, of course Mirai Uchiha would use it as one of his aces up his sleeve.
Anyway, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, it shouldn't be easy for them to discover his movements.
Thinking this, Mirai Uchiha left a shadow clone in his place and disappeared from the room.
...
Land of Wind.
Battlefront base camp.
Looking at Chiyo's grim face, Rasa knelt, his head bowed, not daring to speak.
He, a Kage-level warrior leading a jōnin squad, had not only failed to kill any important enemies but had also lost two of his men.
If he were an ordinary ninja, it wouldn't be strange for him to be executed directly.
"You're saying... a genius from the Uchiha clan has appeared in Konoha?"
"That's right," Rasa replied, nodding hastily. "That brat has a three-tomoe Sharingan and has mastered some special secret technique that multiplies his strength several times."
"Baki and Ōyama were killed by that brat."
"Originally, I had him cornered, but at the most critical moment, Konoha's reinforcements arrived..."
"I don't need explanations," Chiyo interrupted, frowning. "Relay my orders! From now on, the Sand Village officially declares war on Konoha!"
"Yes!"
"Rasa, all the Kazekages throughout history have possessed the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai, but it's not only ninjas who possess it that can become Kazekage."
"...I understand."
After reprimanding Rasa, a trace of weariness appeared in Chiyo's gaze.
Why does a group of such exceptional geniuses appear in Konoha every so often?
A brat of barely ten years old who already possesses the strength to rival Rasa. If he's allowed to grow, he could very well become the next Sakumo Hatake!
No...
Perhaps that brat will become even stronger than Sakumo Hatake.
After all... the Sakumo Hatake of that time did not possess a kekkei genkai as powerful as the Sharingan.
Such an individual must be eliminated before he can flourish!
