Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

The sun slowly ascended, its rays piercing through the dense foliage to form a pillar of light in front of Orochimaru, Hashirama, and Tobirama.

Tiny motes of dust floated within the light, some settling on the face of a man dressed in casual attire, a gourd hanging at his waist.

Upon seeing the man, Hashirama couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Uchiha Mirai?!"

Tobirama's mind immediately recalled something Sarutobi Hiruzen had mentioned earlier:

Uchiha Mirai and Orochimaru are colluding!

"Of course! A naturally evil Uchiha…"

"Let me deal with this myself—"

Before Tobirama could finish, Mirai had already appeared in front of him.

With a swift motion, Mirai performed a sealing technique, immobilizing Tobirama, and then slammed him heavily onto the ground.

Without hesitation, several gray-white bone spikes emerged, piercing through Tobirama's hands, legs, and head, pinning him securely to the ground.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique, is it?"

"I couldn't even sense it…"

Ignoring Tobirama, Mirai turned to Orochimaru and nodded.

"Orochimaru, from now on, the village's experimental bases are yours."

"Thank you, Mirai-kun."

Hearing their exchange, Hashirama finally processed what was happening.

"You two are working together?!"

"You're quite the airhead, aren't you?" Mirai replied flatly.

Hashirama didn't ask why Mirai was cooperating with Orochimaru. Instead, he lowered his voice and asked, "Mirai, can you release Tobirama?"

"No." Mirai shook his head. "I've been waiting for a chance to do this to him."

Hashirama's shoulders drooped at the immediate rejection. Glancing at Tobirama lying on the ground, he couldn't help but scold him with his hands on his hips:

"I told you not to go around spouting your catchphrase all the time. Now look, karma's come knocking!"

"Apologize already!"

Tobirama snorted, clearly unwilling to pay attention to Hashirama. To him, who had endured countless hardships, such humiliation was hardly worth fretting over.

But before he could finish his thought, Mirai conjured a throne of golden sand and sat down, resting one foot on Tobirama's head.

"You brat! How dare you treat me like this!"

"I'll kill you—mark my words, I'll kill you!"

Before Tobirama could finish his tirade, a mound of sand sealed his mouth shut.

"Always so quick to kill, with such a fiery temper," Mirai muttered. "As expected of the naturally evil Senju…"

Tobirama squirmed, muffled protests escaping his sand-covered mouth.

Orochimaru watched Tobirama's predicament without surprise. The Second Hokage's animosity toward the Uchiha clan was well-known. Given his previous remarks, this outcome was predictable.

"Mirai-kun, why did you summon the First and Second Hokage with Edo Tensei?" Orochimaru asked, his curiosity piqued.

"For their Kekkei Genkai, of course," Mirai replied casually. "You know my abilities, don't you?"

Orochimaru's eyes widened slightly. He hadn't expected Mirai's powers to be so overwhelming that even Kekkei Genkai from Edo Tensei could be replicated.

He nodded. "I understand that your Mangekyō Sharingan can copy Kekkei Genkai, but why summon the Second Hokage? He doesn't have any."

Mirai smirked, moving his foot slightly. "For this."

Orochimaru chuckled. "Mirai-kun, you're quite… playful."

Their conversation revealed enough for Hashirama and Tobirama to realize why Mirai possessed so many Kekkei Genkai. It was all thanks to his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Since you understand my purpose…" Mirai's gaze shifted to Hashirama. "Let's begin."

Although he had just dealt with Tobirama, the two brothers weren't truly enemies. Without their animosity, the daily system rewards wouldn't trigger.

Now, Mirai was eager to gain Yang Release powers.

Hashirama rubbed his hands together excitedly, the thought of battling Mirai reminding him of his fights with Uchiha Madara.

"Wood Style—"

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully plundering: Physique +1! ]

Hearing the system's notification, Mirai remained unfazed. He hadn't expected much from a single attempt, so disappointment wasn't on the table.

"Mirai-kun, did you get the power you wanted?" Orochimaru inquired.

Mirai shook his head.

Orochimaru sighed in pity. It seemed that Mirai's Mangekyō Sharingan ability wasn't guaranteed to activate.

Mirai vented his frustration by kicking Tobirama.

"This is all your fault, you naturally evil Senju Tobirama!"

Tobirama rolled his eyes internally. How was this his fault?

Hashirama wore a helpless expression. He had always felt guilty about the Uchiha, so Tobirama's current state didn't anger him.

"Mirai-kun, should I undo the Edo Tensei?" Orochimaru asked.

"No need," Mirai replied. "Re-summoning them every time would require new sacrifices."

Since he didn't know when he'd get the desired reward, keeping Hashirama in Edo Tensei form was more practical.

Orochimaru nodded, refraining from further questions. With his control, the two Hokage couldn't cause any trouble.

Hashirama sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Mirai.

"Mirai, can you tell me what happened after I died?"

Hiruzen's words had shaken him, bringing back memories of Madara's warnings. He wanted to know: had his system truly caused so much harm?

Mirai leaned back on his golden throne, resting his chin on one hand.

"Hashirama, all the troubles of the future stem from the system you created."
