Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's stunned expression, a look of surprise appeared on Mirai Uchiha's face.
"Lord Hokage, surely the village doesn't want to take them for free?"
"This is loot I obtained by risking my life, and besides, it's one of the best sets of ninja tools in the world..."
Seeing that Mirai Uchiha had exposed his intentions, Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face flushed and he coughed a couple of times: "Ahem, that... we'll discuss the ninja swords later."
"Mirai, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are very strong ninjas and hold a high status in the Mist Village. Their bodies also have great research value..."
Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Mirai Uchiha's smile grew even wider: "That's even better. We can price the bodies of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen at the black market rate, ten million per body."
What?
This also had a price!
Hiruzen Sarutobi became a little enraged. Since becoming Hokage, it had been a long time since anyone had dared to speak to him in that manner.
However, he couldn't break off relations.
First, what Mirai Uchiha said made sense; not even the Hokage had the right to take a ninja's spoils of war.
Second, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to make an enemy of Mirai Uchiha.
Otherwise, when he sent him to the battlefield, if Mirai Uchiha didn't put in the effort, wouldn't his plan against him fall apart?
This feeling of being cornered frustrated Hiruzen Sarutobi to the extreme.
"Mirai, you also know that the ninja world is not at peace right now, and the village's funds are not particularly abundant."
"How about this? Hand over the swords and the bodies first, and I'll give you the money when the village has the funds, sound good?"
Faced with Hiruzen Sarutobi's proposal, Mirai Uchiha directly shook his head: "No, cash on delivery."
"I killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, I'm worried their bodies will reveal my trump cards."
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's previously hesitant eyes lit up.
Of course!
If he obtained the bodies of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he might be able to deduce the abilities of Mirai Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan from the wounds on their bodies.
And in the worst-case scenario, if he didn't get any useful information from them, he wouldn't lose money selling them on the black market either; at most, it would be a little troublesome.
Thinking this, Hiruzen Sarutobi said immediately: "Mirai, then we'll do as you say."
"In total, it's two hundred and ten million ryō. I will send someone to make the exchange with you as soon as possible."
With that said, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Mirai Uchiha again: "Mirai, I have accepted all your conditions, but you must go to the battlefield to contribute your strength as soon as possible."
Mirai Uchiha's smile widened: "Deal."
After Mirai Uchiha left, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but snort.
Now he understood. He had been mistaken before. Mirai Uchiha was not at all a guy who would meekly obey his orders, but a very twisted brat.
But, in the end, he was still too naive.
Did he really think that with the power of a Mangekyō Sharingan he could bare his fangs at him?
When he was on the battlefield and overused the power of those eyes, Mirai Uchiha would find out who the real winner was in the end.
...
Leaving the Hokage's building, Mirai Uchiha was in a good mood.
This time, by going to rescue Might Guy and his father, not only did he manage to save them, but he also awakened a very powerful Mangekyō Sharingan ocular technique.
And now, on top of that, he had sold the complete package of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen for the high price of two hundred and ten million ryō.
He had to know that an S-rank mission barely started at one million ryō.
In one fell swoop, he had achieved financial freedom.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi wanting to get useful information from the bodies of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?
It was nothing more than a dream.
He had processed those bodies long ago, and they had already lost the value they should have.
And the seven ninja swords.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know that the Mist Village had a way to summon the swords back.
If he spent such a large sum and in the end got nothing...
Mirai Uchiha was already starting to feel like laughing.
After crossing the bustling main street of Konoha, Mirai Uchiha arrived at a secluded alley.
A ninja with a staff and slanted eyes stood in his way.
"Mirai Uchiha, you dared to attack members of 'Root'. I am arresting you right now."
Seeing Danzo Shimura standing in front of him, Mirai Uchiha slowly stopped and the smile on his face gradually faded: "You'd better get lost, don't make me slap you on my happiest day."
"You bastard! How dare you speak to Lord Danzo like that!"
With a cold face, Danzo Shimura stopped two of his subordinates who wanted to attack and, staring at Mirai Uchiha, said: "Mirai Uchiha, perhaps you don't know my identity yet. I will introduce myself now."
"My name is Danzo Shimura, I am the advisor to the Hokage of Konoha."
"'Root' is an organization that I founded myself and it has the same status as the ANBU in the village."
Ever since he and Hiruzen Sarutobi took power in Konoha Village, whether they were powerful ninjas or elite clans, they had all been brought to obedience.
Who didn't greet him respectfully with a "Lord Danzo"?
But this insolent brat Mirai Uchiha didn't take him seriously at all and had rejected his attempts to recruit him time and time again.
Thinking of this, Danzo Shimura's tone became colder and colder: "You have challenged me time and time again, are you not worried that I will turn you into a rogue ninja wanted by the village?"
The aura of someone accustomed to power made Danzo Shimura seem imposing at that moment, but Mirai Uchiha was not affected in the slightest.
He looked at Danzo Shimura and a cold smile appeared on his face: "If I become a renegade, the ones who should be worried are not me, but you, the Third Hokage, and the entire Konoha Village!"
"You really are an incorrigible brat."
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Danzo Shimura finally lost his patience. With a wave of his hand, the two ninjas behind him drew their swords and lunged to stab Mirai Uchiha's heart.
"You have insulted Lord Danzo, now you will die!"
The speed of the two was extreme, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of Mirai Uchiha.
Puchi!
The sword instantly pierced Mirai Uchiha's heart.
Under their masks, the two "Root" ninjas showed disdainful smiles.
What genius?
What "strongest of the new generation who defeated the Raikage"?
He wasn't all that.
Suddenly, the two Root ninjas felt a sharp pain in their hearts and the scene in front of them began to gradually change.
The Mirai Uchiha whose heart they had pierced had turned into the image of their own companion.
The two Root ninjas looked at each other, seeing the swords stuck in each other's hearts, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"A genjutsu?"
"When..."
Thump!
With a dull sound, the two Root ninjas fell to the ground, full of resentment.
Mirai Uchiha turned his gaze to Danzo Shimura, and a pair of strange Mangekyō Sharingan emanated an astonishing ocular power: "Danzo, now it's your turn."
