Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

"Delta, hurry up and greet the Emperor!"

Santō Amado tugged at the woman beside him.

Delta lifted her chin and cast a proud glance at Uchiha Mirai, letting out a cold snort.

"If you want me to join you, you'll need to show me power that commands my respect."

"Otherwise, no matter how highly Santō Amado praises you, I won't care in the slightest."

Amado nearly coughed up blood on the spot.

Good grief! How dare she say something like that in front of Uchiha Mirai?

Did she really think the man standing before her—this man who bathed in oceans of blood since the Third Great Ninja War—was some gentle soul?

Before Amado could even speak, Mirai raised a hand and fired a single Storm Release beam of light that pierced straight through Delta's skull.

Her body crumpled lifelessly to the floor.

Mirai glanced at the corpse, then turned to Amado with a calm expression.

"She always this brave?"

Amado swallowed hard, his understanding of Mirai's power deepening once again.

Delta was equipped with some of his most advanced core tech—her combat capability was formidable.

But in front of Mirai, she hadn't even had the chance to resist.

This level of strength… it was terrifying.

Just then, a small drone-like device burst out of Delta's corpse and made a dash for the outside of the Hokage building.

Without moving from where he stood, Mirai raised a hand and clenched it in midair.

The drone was instantly crushed into metallic shards.

"Amado, what's her story?"

Faced with the question, Santō Amado could only respond truthfully.

"Mirai-sama, her name is Delta. She's a clone I created, modeled after my daughter, Akebi."

"She was my first modified cyborg. I had planned to present her to you today."

"But her personality has always been unruly and defiant. That's why she acted like that just now..."

Despite Delta's death, Amado showed little sorrow.

After all, he still possessed the cellular material of his daughter. If he needed more clones like Delta, he could create them at any time.

His only concern now was whether Mirai might form a negative opinion of him because of Delta's behavior.

Fortunately, after hearing the explanation, Mirai said nothing more. He only asked,

"You have a daughter? Where is she?"

Amado's expression darkened with grief. "She passed away more than ten years ago from an incurable illness."

Mirai chuckled softly at the reply.

He walked up to Amado and lightly patted him on the shoulder.

"Amado, the Shibai Cell transplants have been progressing well lately. I'll grant you one wish."

"I've got time today. Go ahead."

Amado's head shot up, eyes wide with disbelief and excitement.

Ever since he'd pledged allegiance to Mirai, there had always been hints—subtle promises.

Amado had assumed Mirai would squeeze every last drop of value out of him before granting such a favor.

He never expected that just a few months in, he'd be offered a wish.

To follow someone like this... it truly felt like a blessing.

Tears welled up in his eyes. His voice trembled.

"Mirai-sama, I... I want to bring my daughter back. Is that possible?"

He knew Mirai possessed powers that could bring back the dead—but his daughter had been gone for more than a decade.

Could this really work?

If not... Amado wasn't sure he had any reason to keep living.

Seeing his cautious expression, Uchiha Mirai gave a faint smile. "Easy."

"You still have some of her biological material, right?"

"Yes! Yes, I do, Mirai-sama!"

Without hesitation, Amado retrieved a nutrient tank from a sealing device.

Mirai didn't say another word. He clapped his hands.

"Impure World Reincarnation!"

Moments later, a woman identical in appearance to Delta appeared before them.

Mirai clapped his hands again.

"Rinne Rebirth!"

Life force surged into the woman's body. Her skin turned fair and radiant, vitality blooming through her limbs.

"F-Father?"

Akebi's voice was filled with confusion. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

She remembered dying—so how was she here again?

And her father... he looked so much older. His hair had turned completely white.

Tears streamed down Amado's face. Trembling, he walked up and gently stroked her long hair.

"Akebi... you're alive again?"

Akebi responded softly, "I'm not sure... but it feels that way..."

Amado took Akebi's hand and led her to kneel before Mirai. Together, they bowed deeply three times.

"Mirai-sama, thank you for this gift. I will dedicate everything I have to repaying you!"

Akebi, beginning to understand the situation, bowed respectfully as well.

"Thank you, Mirai-sama, for fulfilling my father's wish."

When she had died, she had made peace with it.

But her father... he had clearly spent all these years doing everything he could to bring her back.

Now, having returned to life, she could finally relieve the burden that weighed on his heart.

Uchiha Mirai studied her with interest.

Compared to the arrogant and self-important Delta, Akebi felt like an angel—gentle, composed, and considerate.

This was the kind of woman people liked to be around.

"Amado, Akebi—you both may rise. This was your reward to begin with."

...

As soon as Mirai finished speaking, Amado immediately said, "Mirai-sama, I have one more request!"

Mirai's brow furrowed slightly in annoyance.

"Amado, don't push your luck. If you want more, then offer something of value in return."

Amado stayed kneeling, hastily explaining,

"I—I just want to offer Akebi to you as your wife, to repay you for bringing her back..."

"Don't rush to explain. I haven't finished speaking," Mirai interrupted, voice steady. "But... considering your prior performance, I'll make an exception. Just this once."

With that, he personally helped Amado to his feet.

Amado stood, overwhelmed with gratitude.

To follow a leader like this—what greater fortune could there be in life?
