“Master Mirai, we’re coming at you!”
Four young Uchiha, full of enthusiasm, charged at Mirai. Three of the four had already awakened their Sharingan.
Two of them had single tomoe, and one had two tomoe.
Mirai stood in place with a calm smile.
The Uchiha with the two-tomoe Sharingan arrived first, his right fist wrapped in power aimed at Mirai’s cheek, using a robust and open-handed Steel Fist style.
Just as he thought he would land a hit, Mirai vanished.
“So fast! I couldn’t even see it with my Sharingan!?”
Shocked, the two-tomoe Uchiha quickly scanned the surroundings to find Mirai’s trace.
However, the sharp pain in his abdomen made his face change color. He saw Mirai appear to his right from the corner of his eye.
The immense force sent him flying backward.
Almost simultaneously, the second and third Uchiha arrived, their fists and legs meeting Mirai’s body, only for their faces to change.
“So hard! Is this really a human body?”
Their heavy punches hitting Mirai’s body produced a metallic clang!
Their taijutsu exchange didn’t last even a round before they lost sight of Mirai again.
The single-tomoe Sharingan couldn’t keep up with Mirai’s speed!
“Watch your backs.”
A ghostly reminder came from behind, causing the two Uchiha to gasp and try to turn around.
Bam! Bam!
Two dull thuds echoed, and the two Uchiha fell forward, landing face-first into the ground.
The last Uchiha didn’t see Mirai before he was kicked down from behind.
The three lined up neatly, all face down on the ground.
The entire process took less than a minute.
All four Uchiha were down.
“That was amazing!”
“As expected of Master Mirai, not even breaking a sweat.”
Hearing the excited voices of their clan members, the downed Uchiha wished they could find a hole to hide in.
Despite their numbers, they hadn’t even touched Mirai’s clothes.
Mirai smiled as he watched.
He knew the Uchiha respected strength, and to gain their recognition, a fight was inevitable.
Thus, combat was a mandatory lesson for the Guard Unit!
…
At the same time, on the edge of the Uchiha compound.
Danzo and his Root members stood silently.
“Lord Danzo, Gan and Bun have started their operation.”
The sensing-type Root member behind Danzo spoke respectfully to him.
Gan and Bun were the best infiltrators in the Root.
This mission was critical, and the more people involved, the higher the risk of exposure.
Therefore, Danzo only sent these two.
“Good.”
Danzo stood at the forefront, his gaze piercing through the gaps in the forest, looking toward the Uchiha compound.
The Uchiha compound had protective barriers.
But these barriers weren’t without flaws.
You had found a way to infiltrate years of continuous monitoring by the Root.
He had sent the best infiltrators in the Root, and with their outstanding abilities, infiltrating the Uchiha compound wouldn’t be a problem.
According to his prior information, Mirai was training the Uchiha clan members by the Nakano River at this time every day.
This gave them an opportunity.
Once Naruto was taken, the balance of power would tip in his favor.
With Naruto in his hands, what could he do, no matter how strong Mirai was?
“Humph! Shisui, you think refusing me means I have no other options?”
Seeing Shisui’s defiance, Danzo’s eyes gleamed with a cold smile.
…
Underground in the Uchiha compound, two figures moved quickly through the soil.
They were the Root members Danzo sent.
Moving underground was more concealed, reducing the risk of exposure.
Thanks to the barrier flaw the Root’s surveillance found, they had infiltrated without much effort.
This mission was hazardous.
But as Root members trained by Danzo, they prioritized completing the mission over their own lives!
Their target was clear: the clan head’s residence.
According to the information, Naruto was staying there.
With Mirai training the Uchiha by the Nakano River, he was far from Naruto’s location.
Kidnapping Naruto was not impossible!
…
In the clan head’s residence courtyard, Naruto happily dressed up Sasuke.
“This looks better.”
Three-year-old Sasuke, already very cute, looked even more like a girl.
His cuteness in the carefully chosen short skirt almost made Naruto’s nose bleed.
“This doesn’t seem right…”
Sasuke looked at his outfit, feeling something was off.
Naruto always finds strange clothes to wear.
“It’s perfect, just perfect.”
While they played, they didn’t notice two unfamiliar ninjas sneaking underground into the courtyard.
After some time, Naruto got tired and, after saying goodbye to Sasuke, headed back to rest.
“What should I play with Sasuke next time?”
Naruto pondered.
As he reached a secluded spot, his foot suddenly slipped, and a large hand reached out from the soil, grabbing his ankle and pulling him underground.
Before Naruto could call out, his neck was struck, knocking him unconscious.
The whole process happened in an instant.
“We got him!”
The Root members underground, Gan and Bun, were overjoyed.
After so much preparation, they had succeeded!
They had to return the Jinchuriki to Danzo, and their mission would be complete.
They carried the unconscious Naruto and dashed through the underground.
In the sealed space, the Nine-Tails suddenly opened its eyes, its demonic vertical pupils showing a hint of surprise.
“Naruto was taken?”
If I remember correctly, this was the Uchiha compound. It was no ordinary feat for someone to infiltrate it and take the Jinchuriki silently!
The only one in Konoha with the ability and motive should be Danzo.
If it remembered correctly, Mirai had set something up on Naruto.
Taking Naruto so blatantly, Mirai must have already noticed.
“Hahaha! Interesting! Interesting! What’s going to happen next?”
The Nine-Tails’ demonic eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement for the first time.
Like a spectator waiting for the show to start.
…
Almost simultaneously, near the Nakano River, Mirai, who was training the Uchiha clan members, suddenly sensed something and turned sharply towards the clan head’s residence.
His eyes seemed to blaze with terrifying fire.
“Targeting Naruto, did you ask his uncle first?”
The entire training ground’s atmosphere turned icy cold.
