Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

Chapter 455: Chapter 455: How Do You Plan to Repay Me?



Mirai's lips curved slightly as he looked at Tenten, who stood frozen in place.

"What's wrong? If you're not willing..."

"I am!" Tenten blurted out, almost cracking her voice from how flustered she was.

Realizing how loud she had been, she quickly ducked her head in embarrassment, unable to meet Mirai's teasing gaze.

A soft blush spread across her cheeks, painting even her ears and neck with a tender, rosy hue.

Watching her like this, a line popped into Mirai's head—

That gentle tilt of the head, so bashfully delicate... 

By his standards, Tenten's appearance fit his aesthetic perfectly.

Mirai remained silent, and with the tension still lingering in the air, Tenten didn't dare say anything either.

The mood began to grow quietly intimate.

After a while, it was Tenten who couldn't take the silence any longer. She murmured,

"Mirai-sama, c-could you say something?"

At that, Mirai chuckled. "Tenten, it's getting late. Want to grab dinner with me?"

Tenten nodded quickly. "Okay."

And just like that, everything flowed naturally from there.

They had dinner together, shared some warm sake, and when the night grew deep, Mirai carried a slightly tipsy Tenten—who claimed to be "bad with alcohol"—back to his room.

...

The Next Morning

Uchiha Mirai stretched comfortably as he looked down at the sleeping Tenten.

She looked small and delicate, but her figure had truly surprised him.

Let's just say the experience had been… perfection.

As he quietly admired her, Tenten slowly began to stir from sleep.

Seeing Mirai staring at her, she immediately buried her face under the blanket.

"Mirai-sama... is it late already?" she asked, voice muffled.

"Not at all," he said smoothly. "It's the perfect time to get up."

"Oh…"

Tenten hesitated, noticing he was still watching her. She fumbled for words.

"M-Mirai-sama, I… I need to get dressed…"

Mirai gave a theatrical look of realization, chuckled, and turned his back to her.

"Then I'll give you some privacy."

As the rustle of fabric came from behind him, he could feel his blood beginning to stir again.

After a moment, he heard her voice again. "Mirai-sama… is there anything you need me to do?"

Mirai smiled. "I'm taking you to meet the others."

"Huh?" Tenten swallowed nervously. "Right now?"

"There's nothing to worry about. It's not like you haven't met them before."

Tenten mentally rolled her eyes at that.

Sure, she had seen them before—but that was before. Now things were totally different!

She followed behind Mirai as they walked to the dining hall where everyone usually gathered.

Tsunade, Kurenai, Hinata, Ino, and the others were all there, chatting casually.

When they saw Mirai walk in with Tenten by his side, they froze for a second—then quickly understood what was going on.

Tsunade was the first to step forward, grabbing Tenten's hand with practiced ease and jumping into light conversation.

The other women soon joined in, laughing and chatting with Tenten like old friends.

At first, Tenten had been stiff and awkward, but under their warm welcome, she relaxed and began to open up, blending into the group with surprising ease.

Watching all this, Uchiha Mirai couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

The women in his household were getting very good at this whole welcoming-newcomers thing.

After lunch, with help from Hinata, Ino, and the others, Tenten moved into her own private courtyard.

Lying on her bed, surrounded by exquisitely crafted furniture, Tenten couldn't help but smile.

Ever since yesterday afternoon, everything had felt like a dream.

Becoming the woman of the Emperor himself—how many other women in the ninja world would kill for that chance?

She was going to treasure it with all her heart.

...

Three Days Later

Guided by Uchiha Mirai, Tenten returned to her ninja tools shop.

The moment she saw it, her jaw dropped.

The old, slightly shabby shop had undergone a complete transformation—it now gleamed with luxury and elegance.

Just standing outside gave off a sense of untouchable prestige.

Several neighboring stores had been torn down to expand the place, and the storefront now stretched impressively wide.

Lined up outside were dozens of reception girls, each one fair-skinned, stunning, and dressed in elegant attire.

This… this was way too extravagant!

"From now on, this shop is yours," Mirai said calmly.

Tenten's voice trembled with excitement.

"H-Husband, this is insane! It must've cost a fortune! How long will it take me to earn all that back?!"

Mirai chuckled and reached out to gently pinch her still-slightly-chubby cheek.

"You're too cute."

"You don't need to worry about money. Just focus on doing what you love. Everything else is meaningless. Got it?"

Tenten quickly realized how silly she'd just sounded.

Mirai wasn't just anyone—he was the Emperor of the entire shinobi world. Technically speaking, the whole ninja world belonged to him.

Money? That concept didn't even apply to someone like him.

She stuck out her tongue at herself in mock reproach.

Clearly, she needed to update her worldview. If she embarrassed herself, that was one thing—but she couldn't afford to embarrass him.

As she reached out and hugged Mirai's arm tightly, he smiled faintly.

A man needs strength. Without it, nothing else matters.

They stepped inside the ninja tools shop.

The interior was packed with all kinds of cutting-edge ninja gear—enough to dazzle the eyes.

At the very center of the store, three particularly eye-catching tools sat on display.

"Husband, what are those?" Tenten asked, pointing toward the centerpieces.

Mirai answered slowly, "The Leaf Fan, the Gold Rope, and the Crimson Gourd."

"They were left behind by the Sage of Six Paths. Each one has unique abilities."

"These days, they're no longer considered top-tier tools, but they hold historical significance. Putting them here feels just right."

Seeing how casually he spoke, Tenten's heart fluttered all over again.

In that moment, she was once more struck by Uchiha Mirai's overwhelming charm.

No wonder nearly every woman in the ninja world dreamed of being his.

Having wealth and legendary artifacts tossed into your arms… it was just intoxicating.

Overwhelmed, Tenten threw herself into Mirai's embrace.

"Husband, you're too good to me."

Mirai lifted her chin with interest and asked softly, "So… how do you plan to repay me?"

Tenten gently bit his finger, her eyes turning sultry.

No words were needed.
