The land was silent, every breeze a cry of alarm.
Cracked and parched earth, towering bone-chilling forests of bone, thick and thriving Nature's Domains, shimmering Gold Dust...
And scattered across the ground were the corpses of various Sunagakure ninja.
Mirai Uchiha hovered midair, his Rinnegan's ocular power surging violently.
Three thousand Sand shinobi... wiped out within half an hour...
Looking at the skyrocketing attribute points on his system interface, Mirai felt quite pleased.
"Interface!"
With a low murmur from Mirai, a semi-transparent light-blue panel appeared before him.
[Name: Mirai Uchiha]
[Physique: 5673]
[Spiritual Power: 5659]
[Chakra: 5685]
[Bloodline Limit: Mangekyo Sharingan! Magnet Release: Gold Dust! Scorch Release! Shikotsumyaku (Dead-Bone Pulse)! Boil Release! Genjutsu – The Art of Sensory Control! Byakugan! Wood Release! Rinnegan!]
[Ninjutsu: ...Rasengan! Wind Release: Rasenshuriken! Quintuple Rashomon! Phantom Shifting Body Technique! Wind Release – Cutting Wave! Fire Release: Storm Whirlwind Jutsu! Welcoming Approach: Seven Heavens Breathing Method! Earth Release – Reincarnation Jutsu!]
[Other: ...Secret Technique – Thousand Needles Like Raindrops! Self-Cursing Seal! Natural Energy Affinity! Senju Sage Body! Superhuman Strength! Shikkotsu Forest Sage Art!]
[Dojutsu: Amaterasu! Sarutahiko-no-Kami! Ame-no-Koyane-no-Kami! Susanoo! Tsukiyo-himuka! Kotoamatsukami! Kamui! Six Paths Technique! Limbo: Border Jail!]
Staring at Dojutsu listed at the bottom of the interface, Mirai's lips curled upward slightly.
When all his attributes grew to five thousand points, he awakened a new Rinnegan Dojutsu—Limbo: Border Jail!
It splits off four intangible shadows that cannot be seen or sensed, capable of attacking using Taijutsu.
Through this Dojutsu, he can switch positions between himself and the shadow clones.
Even if his main body is sealed and immobilized, switching positions remains unaffected.
Besides that...
These shadows won't disappear even when attacked, but they require a cooldown period. After being deployed for a while, the shadows must return to his body until the cooldown ends.
In the original story, Limbo: Border Jail was essentially an unbeatable technique.
No one could detect its attacks unless they possessed a Rinnegan themselves or had extraordinary sensory abilities like Six Paths Naruto.
Moreover... the attack power of these shadow clones was immensely strong.
In the original story, Madara Uchiha in his single-Rinnegan form instantly killed nine Tailed Beasts solely through the shadows produced by Limbo: Border Jail!
Hence... when the system alerted him about awakening Limbo: Border Jail, Mirai couldn't help feeling extremely excited.
Simply because—it looked damn cool.
———
Sunagakure.
Everyone's face was covered with a layer of gloom.
They had confirmed it—none of the three thousand ninja who attacked Konoha had returned. Not a single one survived.
What made it even worse was that not a single Konoha ninja had fallen in battle.
They had all died by Mirai Uchiha's hands alone.
Didn't I tell you so? We never should've provoked Konoha. We couldn't beat them even in our prime—who were we kidding thinking we could do it now!
Was blindly obeying the Daimyo's orders really worth sacrificing so many lives?
Thinking back, Pakura was clearly the wisest among us. If only we'd listened to her back then, this tragedy wouldn't have happened.
The annihilation of the three thousand shinobi fundamentally changed the course of Sunagakure.
They all began to miss Pakura's leadership and turned their blame toward the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
As public sentiment intensified, Pakura once again came back into the spotlight.
Before thousands of Suna ninja, Pakura openly declared that the Daimyo's ignorance was the true cause of this defeat.
"Why should such an idiot still control the village's financial lifeline while those who fight and bleed are treated as the lowest class?
This unjust system must be torn down.
We should follow Konoha's lead—overthrow the Daimyo's rule and make ninja the rulers of this land!!!
Pakura's words struck a powerful chord with everyone in Sunagakure.
No one wanted to live under others' authority anyway, especially after seeing Konoha's example...
And now the Daimyo had even caused the deaths of so many of their ninja.
Under these circumstances, it took less than two weeks before the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was executed by Pakura.
The Daimyo's wretched display before his death filled both villagers and shinobi of Sunagakure with deep disgust.
This was the kind of person they had been serving loyally for so long?
————
The sun blazed mercilessly.
In the vast desert, the air shimmered from the intense heat.
The ninja of Sunagakure had long grown accustomed to this environment and felt no discomfort at all.
Quite the opposite... excitement filled everyone's faces.
They had become the new masters of the Land of Wind. The nobles who once looked down on them and held themselves high no longer wore proud expressions.
So this is what it feels like to be respected!
Just then, a dark speck appeared in the distant sky.
Everyone looked up; soon, the figure arrived directly above Sunagakure.
"Who is that?"
"Alert! An intruder!"
"Hurry and notify Kazekage-sama!"
Looking at the figure floating in midair, the ninjas of Sunagakure became frantic.
There was only one reason.
That figure's name was—Mirai Uchiha!
The villagers of Sunagakure were evacuated to nearby underground shelters while nearly ten thousand Suna ninja stood ready in full battle formation.
Meanwhile, Mirai Uchiha crossed his arms and slowly descended closer to the ground.
Facing nearly ten thousand ninjas, his expression remained calm and indifferent, forming a sharp contrast with the tense and panicked expressions on the faces of the Suna ninja.
"Dammit! How did this guy get into our village?!"
"Earlier, we attacked Konoha under the Daimyo's orders. Obviously, he won't let that go easily."
"Daring to come here alone like this... Mirai Uchiha clearly doesn't consider us worth taking seriously!"
"We have more than ten thousand people here, yet why do I feel so unsafe facing just one person?"
"He's the monster from Konoha who's slaughtered countless lives!"
At first, the Suna ninja could still talk amongst themselves, but as time passed, they gradually fell silent.
Just silently staring at them without moving, Mirai Uchiha's oppressive presence gradually made it difficult for them to breathe.
Many Suna ninja's clothes had already been soaked through with sweat.
They didn't know what Mirai Uchiha wanted, nor did they dare to make any rash moves, so they could only stand there helplessly.
Ten thousand ninjas being completely flustered by a single individual...
This was truly an unprecedented scene in the ninja world.
Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive, a crisp voice suddenly rang out.
Pakura, accompanied by several Anbu members, rushed to the forefront of the Suna forces.
Gazing intensely at Mirai Uchiha, Pakura's tone turned tense: "Fourth Hokage, what is your purpose in coming to Sunagakure?!"
