The next morning.
Mirai Uchiha opened his eyes and sat up on the bed, stretching contentedly.
After dressing himself alone, Mirai went to the kitchen to prepare some food.
He ate a portion himself, leaving the rest for Mikoto Uchiha and Konan to reheat and enjoy once they woke up.
Looking at his masterpiece, Mirai couldn't help but feel a bit narcissistic.
In this ninja world, men as outstanding as him were rarely seen.
Mikoto Uchiha and Konan must be smiling in their sleep right now.
After letting his mind wander for a while, Mirai dressed properly and made his way directly to the training ground within the clan compound.
With so many gains from last night, he needed to study them carefully.
Activating his Mangekyo Sharingan directly, Mirai turned his gaze toward a wooden post at the center of the arena.
[Kamui!]
As Mirai lowly called out, powerful ocular energy spread outward.
In the next second, space near the post distorted.
Crack!
In an instant, the thick wooden post split cleanly in half.
Seeing this scene, Mirai nodded in satisfaction.
As a power capable of distorting space remotely, Kamui's attack power was simply too strong.
Causing damage through spatial distortion was akin to a reality-collapsing strike—a devastating maneuver comparable to dimensional reduction warfare.
Moreover, Kamui's attack speed was fast and its approach sufficiently concealed.
To dodge Kamui's attacks, one must possess extraordinary reaction speed and sharp spatial perception.
Both qualities were indispensable.
Otherwise, one must rely on prediction to evade Kamui's attacks.
"I wonder whether Obito has successfully transplanted the Sharingan capable of using Izanagi…"
Mirai murmured softly to himself.
After experiencing Kamui's power, he had become eager to obtain the "Intangibility" ability from Obito Uchiha.
Calmly organizing his thoughts, Mirai gestured toward Kurama, who was lying nearby basking in the sunlight.
"Kurama, come over here and practice some new techniques with me."
Upon hearing this, Kurama reluctantly jumped onto Mirai's shoulder, "This old fox hasn't finished basking in the sun yet."
Mirai coldly snorted, "Kurama, are you defying my order?"
Kurama instinctively hesitated, then obediently closed its mouth.
Although it had been sealed inside Mirai's body only last night, it had already learned of this brat from Kushina Uzumaki.
This opponent was even more troublesome than Madara Uchiha—definitely not someone to provoke.
As Kurama obediently returned into his body, Mirai Uchiha concentrated and tapped into the Nine-Tails' power.
Sensing Mirai's action, Kurama didn't hesitate either. He immediately relaxed and continuously poured his chakra into Mirai's body.
Outside, Mirai Uchiha opened his eyes.
Now cloaked in a translucent golden-yellow chakra aura, Mirai Uchiha looked absolutely formidable, especially with his eerie Mangekyo Sharingan glowing.
"Not bad at all. Let's face it—my good looks alone make me superior. Compared to canon Naruto in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, I'm way stronger."
After a brief moment of self-admiration, a faint smirk appeared on Mirai's lips.
Never mind the power boost—it was worth it just because he looked this damn good.
After all, strength could be gained through stolen attribute points—but good looks were a lifelong asset.
"Now let's test my speed."
In his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Mirai Uchiha became a streak of golden-yellow lightning.
No—faster than lightning itself!
By comparison, even the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode felt utterly pathetic.
"I guess I should get around to learning Sage Art someday."
As Mirai deactivated the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, he murmured.
If he mastered Sage Art, he could access the Sage-Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
That would bring another significant improvement to his strength.
Yet three locations held the secrets to Sage Art: Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest.
Which one to choose still needed serious consideration.
While Mirai was silently contemplating, three girls giggled as they approached.
"Mirai, finally found you."
"So this is where you are."
Kurenai Yuhi rushed to Mirai Uchiha's side and immediately took hold of his arm.
Rin Nohara followed closely behind Kurenai and cheerfully grabbed Mirai's other arm.
Since nearly dying and being resurrected, Rin had stopped hiding her feelings.
To her, human life was too fragile—an unexpected death might come at any moment.
While she was still alive, she wanted to have no regrets.
"Hmph!"
"Senpai really is a womanizer."
Anko Mitarashi, who had arrived with them, muttered under her breath upon seeing the scene.
Mirai immediately responded, "Anko, don't just say things like that. It's clearly Red and Rin who came over and hugged me first."
"It's *me* who got played, okay?"
Anko shot back angrily—"Shameless!"
Mirai Uchiha didn't get angry upon hearing that. He smiled and gestured to Anko Mitarashi. "Anko, come here."
"What is it?"
Looking puzzled yet compliant, Anko Mitarashi obediently walked over in front of Mirai Uchiha.
"Come on, I'll let you hug me."
Anko's face visibly turned red. "Wh-what? Wh-who wants to hug you!"
"And don't say it like I'm doing you a favor, perverted old man!"
Looking at Anko's tsundere expression, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help shaking his head.
Why do all the "loli" girls in Naruto have tsundere personalities?
Seriously, big sisters who are gentle, lovely, and considerate are much cuter.
Ignoring Anko's nagging, Mirai Uchiha forcibly placed her arms around his waist.
"Fine, I'll just consider this indulging your perverted old man fetish."
"But let me make one thing perfectly clear—this is the LAST time. Don't even think about trying it again!"
Listening to Anko's continuous nagging, Mirai Uchiha kept nodding.
He had plenty of experience dealing with tsundere types.
No matter what they said, just take it as the opposite.
Just then, a purple-haired girl wearing a mask appeared at the training ground.
Seeing the scene before her, the girl paused for a moment.
"Senpai Mirai, it seems like I came at a bad time..."
Mirai Uchiha lifted his head, smirking slightly. "No, you came right on time."
