Mirai Uchiha left after speaking.
Mei Terumi stayed in place, pouting, and much later let out a snort.
"Tsk~"
"Arrogant man. If it weren't for the fact that you're handsome, this lady would have taught you some manners with a puff of acidic mist."
After murmuring a bit, Mei Terumi decided not to follow him.
She had long heard that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan were very stubborn, and today she had confirmed it.
Wanting to unify the ninja world, what a lunatic.
And on top of that, saying that she could look for him when the village sank into darkness...
Hehe.
She, Mei Terumi, would rather die in the Mist Village, drown by jumping into the sea from there, than betray her village to join Mirai Uchiha!
————
Uchiha Clan District.
As Mirai Uchiha walked down the street, all the members of his clan who saw him would stop what they were doing to greet him.
This fourteen-year-old boy had already become the pride of the Uchiha clan.
"Mirai, tomorrow morning come have breakfast at grandma's house, I won't charge you."
"Little Mirai, my grandson works in the Police Force, in the future I'll have to ask you to look after him."
"Hey! I'm telling you, from now on you have to change the way you call him, you should say Lord Mirai!"
"Ah, yes, yes. It's just that I've gotten used to it. The little one we saw grow up, suddenly becomes the hero of the clan, it's still a little hard to get used to..."
After briefly greeting the clan members, Mirai Uchiha returned to his courtyard.
As soon as he entered, several white snakes lunged at him.
Mirai Uchiha took out a kunai and, with precision, cut each of the white snakes in two at their vital point.
Immediately after, Orochimaru, dressed in a white kimono, slowly emerged from the vegetable garden.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the reward: Triple Rashōmon!]
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Mirai Uchiha knew that Orochimaru no longer had any intention of continuing to fight.
So, he asked with surprise: "Orochimaru, what are you planning to do?"
Orochimaru smiled and stuck out his tongue, saying: "I just wanted to see if Mirai-kun had relaxed lately."
"I didn't expect Mirai-kun to be as sharp as ever."
Orochimaru finished speaking and changed the subject: "What a pity... it's a waste for so many white snakes to die like this."
Mirai Uchiha was speechless.
Good grief, so this was your real objective!
"I don't have time."
Mirai Uchiha rejected Orochimaru's proposal simply and directly.
Ambushing him and on top of that wanting him to cook for him?
Keep dreaming!
Hearing that, Orochimaru licked his lips: "Mirai-kun, don't be angry."
"The things you said to Jiraiya the other day have caused me quite a bit of trouble."
Mirai Uchiha shrugged: "I was just joking with Jiraiya, but he took it seriously."
"Which shows that my words fit perfectly with the image he has of you."
Orochimaru sighed: "Mirai-kun, compared to you, I still need to practice my silver tongue more."
"I'm not good at lecturing." Mirai Uchiha snorted. "You didn't really come today just for the snake soup, did you?"
Orochimaru shook his head, took a sealing scroll from his clothes, and formed seals with his hands.
Poof!
After a cloud of smoke, a longsword appeared in Orochimaru's hands.
"Mirai-kun, you are a person of status now. How can you go around without a decent sword?"
"I give you this Kusanagi Sword."
Seeing the Kusanagi Sword, identical in design to the one Sasuke Uchiha used in the original story, Mirai Uchiha took it without further ado.
Clang!
He unsheathed the sword and, after feeling it for a moment, nodded with satisfaction.
This sword was much better than the one Fugaku Uchiha had given him.
Mirai Uchiha hung the Kusanagi Sword from his waist and opened the door: "Orochimaru, pick up the snakes from the floor."
————
After drinking the steaming soup, Mirai Uchiha chuckled lightly: "Orochimaru, with so much frequent contact between us, I estimate that you won't be staying in the village for much longer."
Orochimaru shook his head without giving it much thought: "Mirai-kun, I no longer have any hope in my master."
"Even if I become a rogue ninja, it will only be for a while."
"I look forward to the day when Mirai-kun takes power in Konoha."
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Mirai Uchiha raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Orochimaru, so you now believe the things I told you?"
Orochimaru nodded: "I have already received news from my master that he intends to remain Hokage."
This news did not surprise Mirai Uchiha too much.
Unlike the original story, due to his existence, Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi's protégé, had not actually earned a great reputation.
Whether in comparison to Orochimaru or to himself, Minato Namikaze's prestige among the Konoha villagers was far inferior.
Therefore, for Hiruzen Sarutobi to choose to remain Hokage was not something difficult to understand.
After a moment of silence, Orochimaru continued: "Now, in the village, there are many voices proposing me as the new Hokage. This goes completely against the master's goals, so it's certain that he won't stand idly by."
"This coincides with what you said before."
Saying this, a look of curiosity shone in Orochimaru's eyes: "Mirai-kun, sometimes I'm really curious, how do you know so many secrets?"
Mirai Uchiha shot a glance at Orochimaru and said indifferently: "Orochimaru, too much curiosity can bring trouble."
Hearing that, Orochimaru didn't press further, just sighed: "Mirai-kun, I really like the snake soup you make, it's just that, soon, I might not be able to eat it anymore."
Mirai Uchiha shook his head: "Don't worry, Orochimaru."
"It won't be long."
With that said, Mirai Uchiha tapped the table: "Hiruzen Sarutobi really cares about appearances."
Hearing this topic, a light of excitement shone in Orochimaru's eyes: "Mirai-kun, if the master doesn't want to keep up appearances, I have many ways to help him do so."
Mirai Uchiha smiled: "It doesn't matter if Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to keep up appearances or not, I won't let him."
With that said, a flash of inspiration crossed Mirai Uchiha's mind, remembering the scene of the Chūnin Exams in the original story.
That was a perfect platform to ruin Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation throughout the ninja world!
Since you value your image so much, then I will nail you forever to the pillar of shame of the ninja world!
Thinking this, Mirai Uchiha said with a smile: "Orochimaru, in the future, I might really need your help."
"This is a Flying Thunder God kunai, I will use it to contact you at that time."
Taking the gold dust kunai, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a little moved.
A kunai made of gold...
It could be considered the best collector's item for a ninja.
He just didn't know what kind of end Mirai-kun was preparing for his master.
————
Konoha Village.
The street.
Genshi walked at the front, with a relaxed smile on his face. Compared to before arriving, his steps seemed much lighter.
Mei Terumi followed him, looking up from time to time to scan the surroundings, but she hadn't seen the figure she wanted to see.
"Mei, you seem to have something on your mind."
