Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: What you all envy is precisely my torment

The news that Mirai Uchiha had annihilated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen spread rapidly throughout the village.

This caused Mirai Uchiha's prestige to increase considerably once again.

If cutting off the Raikage's arm on the battlefield could have been luck, this time, killing all of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was sufficient proof of Mirai Uchiha's strength.

Because in this ninja world, no one could defeat a Kage-level warrior twice just by luck!

Walking through the streets of Konoha Village, the villagers, upon seeing Mirai Uchiha, would cast looks of awe at him.

If it weren't for the fact that the Uchiha clan's reputation had never been very good among the Konoha villagers, Mirai Uchiha would probably have already been considered a village hero.

Obito Uchiha, walking behind Mirai Uchiha, watched the scene with envy in his eyes.

If it were him, how great would that be.

He definitely wouldn't put on that face of keeping everyone at a distance like Mirai Uchiha, but would enthusiastically run to the people to ask if they wanted his autograph.

Imagining that scene, hehehe...

"Obito, what are you giggling foolishly about?"

Rin Nohara asked, not understanding.

Seeing that Rin Nohara's voice had attracted everyone's attention, Obito Uchiha hurriedly waved his hands: "Huh? It's nothing, I don't envy Mirai Uchiha at all."

Pfft!

Rin Nohara and Kurenai Yuhi burst out laughing at the same time.

This guy, Obito, was really interesting. Did he just say what he was thinking out loud?

Seeing Rin Nohara's charming smile, Obito Uchiha's mouth fell open.

How beautiful.

Rin, she was so adorable.

"Idiot."

Kakashi Hatake, seeing Obito Uchiha, felt a little helpless.

This guy and Mirai were two complete opposites.

Walking and chatting, the group soon arrived at the barbecue restaurant.

In the private room, Might Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu were already waiting.

"Hey~"

Mirai Uchiha greeted, and sat down in a random spot.

Today's gathering was to celebrate Might Guy getting out of danger safely, so everyone who got along had come.

Except for Asuma Sarutobi.

Ever since he felt the gap separating him from Mirai Uchiha, Asuma Sarutobi had become more and more solitary.

Aside from going on missions and necessary training, it had been a long time since he had gathered for dinner with Mirai Uchiha and the others.

"Mirai, thank you so much for this time."

"A toast to you!"

When the meat arrived, Might Guy raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

He was immensely grateful to Mirai Uchiha.

Without Mirai, he probably would never have made so many friends, let alone survived the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

It was Mirai who had given him everything he had now.

Feeling the burn of the alcohol, Might Guy made a decision in his heart.

In the future, no matter what happened, he would always stand firmly by Mirai's side.

"Guy, you don't have to be so formal."

Mirai Uchiha waved his hand and also drank his entire glass.

Although he sometimes felt that being with Kakashi, Guy, and the others was a bit childish, Mirai Uchiha didn't dislike that feeling.

"Guy, can you tell us about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?"

"Of course."

Before everyone's curious gazes, Might Guy repeated the story he had prepared beforehand.

To increase credibility, he even took out a pair of nunchaku: "If it weren't for Mirai coming to deliver my ninja tools, my father and I would probably have died there."

It wasn't until Might Guy finished telling the whole story that Kurenai Yuhi, Ebisu, Genma Shiranui, and the others let out a long sigh of relief.

Just by listening to Might Guy's description, they could imagine how dangerous it had been.

Luckily...

Looking at Mirai Uchiha, who was calmly eating barbecue on the side, Rin Nohara couldn't help but say: "Mirai-kun is as exceptional as ever. We are still nobodies, and Mirai-kun is already famous throughout the ninja world."

Kurenai Yuhi, who was focused on grilling meat for Mirai Uchiha, immediately felt a pang of alarm upon hearing Rin Nohara's words.

Bad news, someone had their eye on her treasure!

Just as Kurenai Yuhi was preparing to say something, Obito Uchiha's slightly sour voice was heard: "If I had also encountered those Mist Village ninjas, I would have shown them what I'm capable of!"

Seeing Obito Uchiha, with his usual misplaced confidence, everyone was a little speechless.

Even if you like Rin Nohara, is it necessary to be so stubborn?

Ebisu said directly: "Obito, with your strength, you'd better not talk big. You can't even hold a candle to Mirai."

Genma Shiranui also agreed: "That's right, Mirai is the most exceptional ninja I've ever seen."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded even more convincedly and looked at Obito Uchiha: "Obito, showing off in front of girls loses you points."

Hearing what they said, Obito Uchiha snorted, resentfully.

"I'm not comparing myself to Mirai Uchiha, what's so great about him?"

"He's just a little stronger, a little more handsome, a little more famous, cooks a little better, has a little more money..."

Obito Uchiha's voice trailed off, until he himself couldn't continue.

"Hahaha... Obito, even you have to admit how exceptional Mirai is?"

"Seriously, he has so many virtues you can't even list them all."

"I'm so envious. I wish I could also be like Mirai and have so many qualities."

Hearing everyone's discussion, Mirai Uchiha took a sip of alcohol and sighed with resignation.

Everyone immediately turned to look at him: "Mirai, what's wrong?"

Feeling everyone's gazes, Mirai Uchiha shook his head with a melancholic air: "Actually, what you all envy is precisely what has been my torment since I was a child."

Hearing that, everyone felt as if his superiority had been rubbed in their faces, and even the barbecue in their hands lost its flavor.

Kurenai Yuhi's beautiful eyes, on the other hand, shone with an unusual splendor.

Just that feeling, how cool!

Hidden Mist Village.

Yagura Karatachi, with a grim face, tore the intelligence report in his hand to shreds.

It had been several days since Fuguki Suikazan and the others had left on a mission and there was no news of them. At first, he didn't think much of it.

As the Seven Ninja Swordsmen tended to have strange personalities, it wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

But a few days ago, a rumor began to circulate: the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had been killed by a Konoha brat named Mirai Uchiha.

At first, when he heard the news, Yagura Karatachi scoffed at it.

Those idiots from Konoha, if they wanted to show off their strength, they should find a decent excuse.

How was it possible for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to be killed by a brat?

And... that Mirai Uchiha, who was said to have cut off an arm of the newly appointed Fourth Raikage, even if he really had the strength to defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, it was absolutely impossible for him to have accomplished something as absurd as killing them all.

He would rather believe that Fuguki Suikazan and the others had decided to betray the village together.

But as time went on, Yagura Karatachi began to panic.

Fuguki Suikazan and the others seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth; it had been a long time since there was any news of them.

Under these circumstances, no matter how hard it was to accept the truth, Yagura Karatachi had no choice but to face reality.

It was very likely that Fuguki Suikazan and the others had truly been killed!

Thinking this, Yagura Karatachi roared: "Give the order, tonight we attack Konoha!"

That Fuguki Suikazan and the others were dead was one thing, but the seven ninja swords could not fall into Konoha's hands!
