[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the reward: Mental Strength +1!]
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Mirai Uchiha removed the sword from Kakashi Hatake's neck and sheathed it.
A lament was heard from the side.
"So it's really not possible?"
"Kakashi, you idiot, you're already a Jōnin!"
Obito Uchiha originally thought that after Kakashi Hatake was promoted to Jōnin, he might be able to defeat Mirai Uchiha, but he didn't expect that Mirai Uchiha would still humble him with a single hand.
This left Obito Uchiha very frustrated.
It was bad enough that he couldn't beat him, but how could even Kakashi be so far from his level!
"Obito, Mirai is a warrior capable of defeating the Raikage, what's so strange about Kakashi not being his match?"
Rin Nohara said with a faint smile, looking at Obito Uchiha.
"Tsk~"
"So what if he defeated the Raikage? When I become Hokage, I'll surely be able to defeat all the other Kages too."
Obito Uchiha said, resentfully.
But he had barely finished speaking when a roar of laughter echoed around him.
"Obito, not to discourage you, but how does a failure like you dare to say something like that?"
"Exactly, a guy who needs two attempts to pass the Chūnin Exams shouldn't be here daydreaming."
"Alright, let's just go in and eat something. My stomach is already growling from hunger."
Hearing the others' mockery, Obito Uchiha started shouting in anger. If it weren't for Rin Nohara holding him back, he probably would have lost his temper right then and there.
Entering the barbecue restaurant, the group found a secluded spot and sat down.
Today's dinner was to celebrate Kakashi Hatake's promotion to Jōnin and Obito Uchiha's to Chūnin.
Genma Shiranui, Ebisu, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Rin Nohara, and the others had all come.
Minato Namikaze was absent because he was still at the front lines fighting against the Sand Village ninjas.
After everyone sat down, trays of grilled meat soon began to arrive. Just then, Kushina Uzumaki pushed open the door and entered.
"Am I late?"
Kushina Uzumaki greeted everyone with a smile and then, upon seeing a sulking Obito Uchiha, immediately pouted.
"Did you guys bother Obito again?"
Everyone quickly shook their heads.
They all knew Kushina's temper. With the exception of Mirai Uchiha, no one else dared to mess with her.
"Master, it's just that they don't believe I can become Hokage in the future."
"I'll show them that I'm not just saying it."
Hearing Obito Uchiha's declaration, Kushina Uzumaki smiled and patted his head: "Obito, I believe you."
"I'm sure you'll be able to fulfill your dream in the future!"
"But before that, you should take your feet off the table, you dummy!"
Thump!
A blow to the head made Obito Uchiha cry out in pain, but he wasn't angry at all.
Because, apart from Rin, only his master truly encouraged and believed in him.
"Speaking of which, you youngsters must be very careful when you're on missions."
"Lately, the ninja world has become turbulent again. I've heard that ninjas from the Mist Village have been spotted in the coastal region of the Land of Fire."
"Of course, except for you, Mirai."
Kushina Uzumaki looked at Mirai Uchiha and said with a smile: "Mirai, you've been a bit of a slacker lately, don't you think?"
"I've never seen a ninja as relaxed as you are all day."
Mirai Uchiha ignored Kushina Uzumaki's teasing and instead fixed his gaze on Ebisu and Genma Shiranui.
"Why hasn't Guy arrived yet?"
It was already the agreed-upon time, and with Might Guy's personality, he shouldn't be late.
A feeling of unease began to grow in Mirai Uchiha's heart.
"Ah... he and his father, Uncle Duy, left the village on a mission."
"What?!"
Mirai Uchiha slammed a hand on the table, producing a dull thud that startled everyone present.
In all the time they had known Mirai Uchiha, it was the first time they had seen him so agitated.
"Mirai, did something happen?"
Genma Shiranui took the senbon out of his mouth and asked with some bewilderment.
Mirai Uchiha didn't answer, but continued to ask: "Aren't you guys a team? Why didn't you go on the mission together?"
"Because it was a mission that Uncle Duy suddenly received last night. He needed a genin's help, so Guy just left us a note and went with him. He said they were going to transport a shipment of supplies to the eastern front."
"We only found out this morning."
Genma Shiranui explained.
"So that's what it was."
"Mirai, what's wrong?"
Kushina Uzumaki and the others looked at Mirai Uchiha, not understanding.
Mirai Uchiha's face regained its usual serenity: "It's nothing, it's just that the weapon Guy asked me to have forged for him a while ago is ready. I was planning to give it to him tonight."
"Hehe, you can give it to him when he gets back, it's the same thing."
"I originally planned to do that, but after hearing what Kushina said, I can't help but feel a little uneasy."
"They've only been traveling for a day and a night. Since they're escorting a shipment, their speed must not be very fast. If I go after them now, I should still be able to catch up."
Mirai Uchiha muttered to himself and then gave the group an apologetic smile: "Sorry about this time, next one's on me."
Seeing Mirai Uchiha about to leave, Kushina grew worried: "Mirai, it's very late. Without permission from the Third, ninjas can't leave the village on their own."
"No problem, the village guards won't be able to stop me."
With that said, Mirai Uchiha activated the Body Flicker Jutsu and his figure instantly disappeared.
Kushina Uzumaki slapped her forehead, speechless.
Was she worried about whether the guards could stop him or not? Leaving the village on his own could get him classified as a rogue ninja!
Not even she dared to do something so reckless. That guy, Mirai, was too impulsive.
"Well, never mind him."
"You guys don't go spreading this around, understand?"
"Yeah, we understand."
Kakashi Hatake, Ebisu, Asuma Sarutobi, and the others looked at each other.
To risk sneaking out of the village just to deliver a new weapon to Guy... what a good friend Mirai was!
Even Obito Uchiha, who had always clashed with Mirai Uchiha, changed his opinion of him a little.
Only Kushina Uzumaki sighed.
Seriously, he just caused her trouble.
But... with Mirai's merits, and if she went to beg the old Third a little, the matter shouldn't be too serious.
When that brat returned, she would definitely have to make him cook for her several times!
What Kushina Uzumaki didn't know was that the things she was worried about, Mirai Uchiha couldn't care less about.
...
Mirai Uchiha directly activated the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to get to the marked point outside the village and headed east without stopping.
The eastern front, that is, the eastern borderline of the Land of Fire.
There, across the sea from the Land of Water, was a long coastline.
In such a sensitive period, for Might Duy to take Might Guy on a mission there, instantly made Mirai Uchiha think of a plot from the original story.
Guy's team, while escorting a shipment, was ambushed by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
In the end, Might Duy, at the cost of his own life, opened the eighth of the Eight Inner Gates—the Gate of Death—and thus managed to pull Might Guy and the others back from the brink of death.
It was precisely for this reason that, after returning to the village, he had warned Might Guy that if he was going to leave the village, he had to let him know in advance.
Just during the day, he had been thinking of giving Might Guy a special Flying Thunder God kunai after today's gathering.
But he didn't expect that guy, Guy, to go on a mission with Might Duy without telling him anything!
They had already been traveling for a day and a night. If, like in the original plot, they encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist on the way, then they would be in serious trouble.
"I was careless this time."
"It seems that in the future, I can't just act based on experience."
Mirai Uchiha silently scolded himself.
Although he didn't know if the mission Might Guy had taken this time was the same one from the original plot, due to his arrival, the ninja world had already changed a lot.
The plots from the original story could no longer be taken for granted as things that would happen anyway.
