"This bastard!"
After hearing the ANBU ninja's report, Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his palm on the table.
After so many years in power, very few people dared to challenge his authority in such a way.
Daring to refuse his orders in public, and on top of that, telling him that if he didn't agree, he should go and see him personally...
That brat Mirai Uchiha was simply too arrogant!
Did he still respect him as Hokage?
"Lord Hokage, do you want me to send my men to arrest Mirai Uchiha?"
The ANBU ninja said in a grave voice, seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's anger.
Hiruzen Sarutobi froze for a moment and, gritting his teeth, replied: "Stay out of it, leave him alone."
Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's response, a whirlwind of emotions was unleashed in the ANBU ninja's heart.
He had thought of ten thousand possibilities, but it never occurred to him that the Third Hokage would choose to back down.
Despite being so angry, in the end, he decided to do nothing about such a blatant disobedience of the Hokage's orders.
Mirai Uchiha... had he already become that strong?
"You may leave. Remember not to mention this to anyone."
"Yes, sir!"
After the ANBU left, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag from his pipe, and his eyes no longer held a trace of their usual kind and gentle expression.
In its place, was a grim and venomous expression.
Mirai Uchiha, go on and be arrogant.
When your eyes go blind, I will let you know the consequences of defying me!

Inside the apartment building.
Mirai Uchiha looked at the scroll that Minato Namikaze had placed in his hands, with a perplexed expression: "Minato, what is this?"
Minato Namikaze smiled: "The scroll contains some sealing jutsus. Perhaps they can be of help to you."
"Sealing jutsus?"
"Why are you giving me something like this?"
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's question, Kushina Uzumaki came out of the kitchen: "You've helped us so much and there's not much we can do for you. We can only offer you this as thanks."
As the genius of the Uchiha clan, Mirai Uchiha surely did not lack for ninjutsu resources within his clan, so she and Minato Namikaze, after much thought, decided to give him some sealing jutsus.
They were secret techniques of the Uzumaki clan that had already been lost, and they assumed that Mirai Uchiha would not have access to them.
Minato Namikaze patted Mirai Uchiha on the shoulder: "Mirai, don't be modest."
"Without you, the war with the Sand Village wouldn't have ended so quickly, and who knows how many more of the village's ninjas would have died."
"And... you've helped Kakashi and the others so much. Take it as our thank-you gift."
Mirai Uchiha smiled bitterly.
Could he tell them that he had already plundered most of the jutsus from that scroll through the system?
However, at a time like this, he couldn't say much. He could only silently put away the scroll and nod to Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki: "Then I accept it."
Kushina Uzumaki smiled: "Let's eat first."
At the table, Kushina Uzumaki took the initiative to speak: "Mirai, I've heard your stories. I didn't expect a brat like you to have grown to this point."
With that said, Kushina Uzumaki sighed with emotion: "I'm so envious of you and Minato, being able to be true ninjas out there."
Hearing that, Mirai Uchiha chuckled lightly: "There's nothing good about killing people out there. I just got back and, without even getting a little rest, I already have to go support the Mist Village front."
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Kushina Uzumaki's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Mirai, then, could I ask you for a favor?"
Mirai Uchiha, surprised: "What favor?"
Kushina Uzumaki said with a smile: "Last night, Obito, Kakashi, and Rin received a mission to transport a shipment of supplies to the Mist Village front."
"When you run into them, could you look after them?"
"Especially Obito. Just thinking about that boy's personality makes me very uneasy."
Saying this, Kushina Uzumaki rubbed her forehead with resignation: "Seriously, you're both Uchiha ninjas, but that guy and you are two opposite extremes."
Hearing Kushina Uzumaki's request, Mirai Uchiha thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Don't worry. If I run into them, I will do everything possible to ensure their safety."

Land of Fire.
Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Rin Nohara, along with two other ninja teams, were transporting a supply cart towards the eastern front.
Under the scorching sun, Obito Uchiha couldn't help but complain: "This damn weather, I'm dying of heat."
Rin Nohara reminded him: "Obito, don't get distracted. Stay alert to your surroundings, watch out for ambushes."
Although they were within the Land of Fire, they were already very far from the village.
And since the Mist Village had always had the initiative on the battlefield, it wouldn't be strange for their ninjas to appear here.
Hearing Rin Nohara's reminder, Obito Uchiha approached and smiled: "Don't worry, Rin."
"If we run into those Mist ninjas, let this great lord protect you."
Kakashi Hatake snorted coldly: "Idiot."
"What did you just say, you bastard?" Obito Uchiha said immediately, annoyed, as he was always keeping an eye on Kakashi.
"Don't shout, maintain discipline."
"Stop acting like the boss with me."
"Obito! Be quiet for a bit."
Seeing that Rin Nohara was about to get angry, Obito Uchiha finally closed his mouth, but internally he didn't care.
He was going to become Hokage. If he was even afraid to fight against ninjas from other villages, how would he protect the village and his comrades?
"How strange, how did the fog roll in?"
Rin Nohara muttered to herself, surprised, upon seeing the fog that was gradually thickening around them.
A moment ago the sun was shining, how had the weather changed so suddenly?
Kakashi Hatake had already unsheathed his short sword and taken a defensive stance: "Be careful, they're Mist Village ninjas!"
Before coming, he had prepared a lot and already had some knowledge about the Mist ninjas.
The scene before him was identical to the "Silent Killing Jutsu" that the Mist ninjas were experts in.
Hearing his words, the ninjas from the other two teams immediately became alert.
Obito Uchiha, for his part, was a little excited: "This Mist trash, this great lord is going to show them what he's capable of!"
The fog gradually thickened, and little by little, all the sounds around them disappeared.
They soon realized that even with comrades just a few meters away, they had lost contact with each other.
Suddenly, a mocking voice echoed from all directions in the thick fog.
"Larynx, spine, lungs, liver, carotid artery, kidneys, heart..."
"Where should I start?"
The ninja in the fog seemed to be having trouble deciding, and his tone was full of resignation.
A moment later, the ninja seemed to have made a decision: "Well then, let's try all eight ways to die."
As soon as he finished speaking, screams of agony were heard one after another.
A cold sweat ran down Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.
In the thick fog, a man-eating beast seemed to be hiding, ready to jump out and devour them in a single bite at any moment!
