Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

With a heavy sigh, Tobirama suppressed the improbable thoughts racing through his mind. His expression darkened.

Though he had no clue how the young Uchiha before him possessed such a multitude of Kekkei Genkai, one thing was certain:

This opponent was no ordinary foe.

Quickly forming hand seals, Tobirama shouted, "Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!"

As a faint mental disturbance swept toward him, Uchiha Mirai's lips curled into a disdainful smirk.

'Second Hokage, attempting to use such a clumsy genjutsu in front of an Uchiha? Really?'

He tilted his head mockingly. "Or perhaps...you think I'm as incompetent as Sarutobi Hiruzen?"

The instant he finished speaking, Mirai's jet-black eyes morphed into the shape of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Feeling the overwhelming force of those eyes, Tobirama's brow furrowed deeply.

'To think he possesses such a terrifying gaze… Truly, the Uchiha are born cursed.'

From the sidelines, Hashirama observed the exchange in silence. Mirai's eyes brought back memories of a long-lost companion.

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

With a low shout, Tobirama conjured a blade of swirling water chakra and vanished into thin air. He reappeared behind Mirai in an instant.

Clang!

The crisp sound of clashing weapons echoed. Mirai had intercepted Tobirama's strike with a bone blade in hand.

"Quick reflexes," Tobirama commented, his form disappearing once more as he darted around the battlefield in rapid succession.

Earlier, Tobirama had planted Flying Thunder God seals throughout the area while fighting Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even the Mangekyō Sharingan wouldn't easily track his movements.

However, to Tobirama's growing frustration, Mirai remained stationary, effortlessly deflecting each of his strikes.

"Too slow," Mirai murmured, reaching out casually into the void.

Before Tobirama could react, Mirai's hand gripped his throat like a vice and slammed him into the ground with resounding force.

Boom!

Mirai then conjured several bone spikes, pinning Tobirama to the earth.

"Was that your Mangekyō Sharingan's ability?" Tobirama gasped, wide-eyed.

Mirai didn't bother answering. Instead, he inscribed seals onto the bone spikes before driving one into Tobirama's forehead.

"I've always wanted to do this to you, Tobirama," Mirai said coldly, his tone carrying a biting irony.

"Born evil, you say? Look who's talking."

For once, Tobirama was left speechless. Hearing his own rhetoric thrown back at him was a first.

...

Meanwhile, the Konoha shinobi watching from the sidelines were stunned.

"Incredible! Even the Second Hokage, who easily overpowered Sarutobi Hiruzen, was defeated so effortlessly!"

"Mirai-sama is amazing!"

"Is there anyone in the shinobi world who could stand against him now?"

"With Mirai-sama protecting Konoha, we can truly feel at ease."

Their admiration drew irritated grumbles from shinobi of other villages.

"Hey, Konoha ninjas, don't get cocky so soon," one of them sneered. "Defeating Tobirama doesn't mean anything. You still have the 'God of Shinobi' to deal with!"

The reminder sent a chill through the Konoha crowd, their brief relief giving way to anxiety.

Hashirama's overwhelming power had been on full display. Could Uchiha Mirai truly defeat the wielder of the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai?

At the center of the arena, a mechanical voice echoed in Mirai's mind:

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully plundering the reward: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique]

Mirai's lips curved into a satisfied smile. It wasn't the ability itself that excited him, but the confirmation that plundering rewards from reanimated shinobi was indeed possible.

This realization opened new doors. Acquiring the Yang Release chakra he had long desired now seemed within reach. If he could summon and spar with Hashirama daily, he'd soon complete the Yin-Yang Release, attaining the power of Creation of All Things.

Once that happened, his eyes would evolve into the Rinnegan.

As Mirai pondered his next steps, Hashirama stepped forward.

"Uchiha descendant, you'd better brace yourself," Hashirama said with a serious tone. "I'm not as easy to deal with as Tobirama."

"For Konoha's sake… please, stop me if you can."

Hashirama's plea was met with a faint smile from Mirai.

"Don't worry, First Hokage. I won't be an easy opponent either."

Hashirama chuckled heartily. "Hahaha! You remind me of him—truly his heir!"

Clapping his hands together, Hashirama roared, "Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Massive trees erupted from the ground, creating an enormous forest that swallowed Mirai whole.

But an instant later, a crimson blade of chakra sliced through the forest, shredding it from within.

Emerging from the devastation was a towering, fully-formed Susanoo, its massive wings spreading out behind it like those of a demonic god.

The sight left everyone speechless.

Even Hashirama's famed Wood Release paled in comparison to the sheer majesty of the fully-formed Susanoo.

At that moment, all the shinobi present shared the same thought:

This was divine power, unmatched and unyielding.
