"Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu)"
"Fūton: Atsugai! (Wind Style: Pressure Damage)"
The combination of Fire and Wind Style instantly cleared an area on the battlefield.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully looting the reward: Chakra +1!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully looting the reward: Spiritual Strength +1!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host...!]
As the notifications rang one after another, Mirai Uchiha grabbed Kakashi by the shoulder and quickly fell back.
"Kill him!"
"Mirai Uchiha is over there, quick, attack!"
"Damn you, you won't escape this time!"
Dozens of Sand Village ninjas rushed to surround Mirai Uchiha, while others sped towards them from a distance.
A rain of shurikens, kunai, and ninjutsu fell upon them mercilessly, devouring everything and making the earth tremble.
"Mirai, you escape first. I'll cover your retreat," said Kakashi Hatake, gritting his teeth as he saw the Suna ninjas getting closer and closer.
"Less nonsense," Mirai Uchiha snorted.
"Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! (Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu)"
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"
"Fūton: Daitoppa!"
After quickly forming seals and using his shadow clones to launch several combined ninjutsu, Mirai Uchiha opened the first three of the Eight Inner Gates, and his speed suddenly increased.
"Mirai, you really know how to attract hatred," said Kakashi, sighing at the ferocity of the Suna ninjas.
"Stop talking nonsense. The next time you're so impulsive, I won't come to save you."
Mirai Uchiha detonated the explosive tags he had prepared beforehand and, amid a thunderous roar, left the Sand Village ninjas far behind.
Back at the camp, Mirai Uchiha threw Kakashi Hatake to the ground and took out several pills, putting them in his mouth to replenish his strength.
Feeling his chakra slowly recovering, Mirai Uchiha let out a long sigh of relief.
He had been on the front lines for two months, and scenes like this were an almost daily occurrence.
After his encounter with Rasa, the Sand Village had officially declared war on Konoha, initiating a large-scale conflict.
At the same time, the news that he had single-handedly faced Rasa, Baki, and the others spread like wildfire, causing a great stir in the ninja world.
Almost every ninja knew that a young genius with extraordinary strength had appeared in Konoha's Uchiha clan.
Mirai Uchiha was sure that this was an open conspiracy on the part of the Sand Village.
The goal was to put him in the spotlight, to make him everyone's target.
Mirai Uchiha believed that, once the news spread, not only the Sand Village but also the other ninja villages would see him as a thorn in their side.
After all, eliminating a genius in their cradle was the most cost-effective tactic.
On the battlefield against the Sand Village, Mirai Uchiha also received "special attention."
Every time he was recognized, the Suna ninjas would begin to attack him frantically.
If it weren't for Konoha, in response to this phenomenon, using him as bait to set an ambush and deal a heavy blow to a Suna offensive, today's chase would have likely been even more insane.
Of course, the trade-off was that, during this time, Mirai Uchiha's strength had progressed by leaps and bounds.
In looted attribute points alone, he had obtained more than 200!
In addition to that, he had acquired dozens of ninjutsu of all kinds.
Compared to when he first arrived at the front, one could say that Mirai Uchiha's power had undergone a radical change.
[Name: Mirai Uchiha]
[Constitution: 200]
[Mental Strength: 180]
[Chakra: 192]
[Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan, Magnet Style: Gold Dust!]
[Ninjutsu: Lightning Style: Chidori! Flying Thunder God Technique! Wind Style: Pressure Damage! Wind Style: Typhoon Incursion!]
[Other: ...]
Seeing the attribute panel, with his four main stats approaching two hundred points, a faint smile appeared on Mirai Uchiha's lips.
The battlefield was definitely the most suitable place for him to increase his strength.
A pity that, for now, he had not obtained any extraordinary physical constitution, so his stamina and recovery ability were somewhat lacking.
If he could obtain a constitution like the "Senju Body," his strength would take a leap.
But speaking of special constitutions... Mirai Uchiha already had a target in mind.
"And you still have the nerve to smile."
Seeing Mirai Uchiha's expression, Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but retort.
Living every day under the high pressure of the battlefield, and also being the enemy's main target...
If it were anyone else, they probably would have had a nervous breakdown by now.
But Mirai Uchiha was brimming with vitality and ran to the battlefield full of enthusiasm every time.
Kakashi Hatake seriously suspected that Mirai Uchiha had some kind of psychological problem.
"Kakashi, you don't understand the pleasure of using 'Cheats'. Don't try to guess what I'm thinking."
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Kakashi Hatake was somewhat perplexed. He was saying strange things again.
However... remembering the dangerous situation from before, Kakashi Hatake addressed Mirai Uchiha seriously:
"Mirai, in the future, if you find yourself in such a dangerous situation, escape by yourself."
"For the village, the most important thing is for you to live and reach your full potential!"
Hearing Kakashi Hatake's words, Mirai Uchiha glanced at him from the side:
"Getting sentimental again?"
"Who's being sentimental?!" Kakashi Hatake said, blushing. "Be serious, this is a very important matter!"
"For a ninja, all actions must prioritize the village's interest."
"Just as a ninja who doesn't complete their mission is considered scum, in the face of the village's interest, everything can be sacrificed."
"Even comrades..."
SLAP!
The crisp sound of a slap left Kakashi Hatake paralyzed.
"Kakashi, you've got it backward."
"People don't live to protect the village. On the contrary, the village exists to protect the people."
Mirai Uchiha said calmly:
"A ninja who doesn't complete their mission is considered scum? Well, those who don't appreciate their comrades are trash, worse than scum."
"First comes affection for those close to you, and from there is born the great love for all. If you are not even capable of the former, the supposed 'great love' is nothing more than a selfish person's slogan to sacrifice others."
"Compared to Sakumo-senpai, your current attitude, hiding behind the rules, falls very, very short."
Seeing Kakashi Hatake's stunned expression, Mirai Uchiha turned around and went back to his room.
Since he had promised Minato Namikaze he would guide Kakashi, he didn't mind giving him an ideological lesson at the right time.
When Kakashi came to his senses, his promise would be fulfilled.
...
Much later, Kakashi Hatake came to. Without realizing it, his eyes had filled with tears.
He clenched his fists and opened his mouth in a silent scream.
For so many years, he had been tormented by what happened to Sakumo Hatake.
Deep down, he actually agreed with his father, but he didn't have the courage to show it, and could only repeat to himself over and over that the mission came first.
He himself had abandoned comrades on several occasions to meet a mission's objective...
Because of this, he had woken up from nightmares countless times.
But now, someone was finally telling him that his father's choice had not been a mistake!
"A ninja who doesn't complete their mission is considered scum? Well, those who don't appreciate their comrades are trash, worse than scum..."
As Mirai Uchiha's words echoed in his mind, Kakashi Hatake's gaze gradually softened.
Father, since I was a child, you taught me to look for a goal worth fighting for my whole life.
Now, I think I've found it.
