Naruto: Uchiha Plunder System

Drip...

Drip...

Drip...

Yakumo Kurama slowly opened her eyes, gazing at the dim, damp cave as her consciousness gradually returned.

"Yakumo, you're awake?"

Mirai Uchiha's voice rang out. Yakumo Kurama sat up weakly and asked, "Captain Mirai, was the surgery... successful?"

Mirai Uchiha smiled. "Don't worry, the surgery went smoothly."

Hearing this, relief washed over Yakumo Kurama's face.

Before the surgery, she had already learned from Orochimaru about the risks—it had nearly been a matter of life and death.

Yet unexpectedly, she had actually survived.

Thinking about this, Yakumo Kurama couldn't help but exclaim joyfully, "How amazing! Thank you so much, Captain Mirai."

Mirai Uchiha gently patted Yakumo Kurama's head. Just as he was about to speak, Orochimaru's voice echoed eerily, "Little girl, there's no such thing as luck in this world."

"You should've died on that operating table. It was merely Mirai who altered your fate."

Yakumo Kurama didn't doubt Orochimaru's words for a second.

Based on what she had learned about Mirai Uchiha recently, it seemed like there wasn't anything this person couldn't accomplish.

Grateful, Yakumo Kurama looked at Mirai Uchiha and said, "Thank you so much, Captain Mirai."

Mirai Uchiha shook his head, not wanting to boast excessively. He simply replied calmly, "Yakumo, I'll release the seals on you first."

Activating the [Flying Thunder God Technique], Mirai Uchiha transported Yakumo Kurama to the villa at Rimihill Manor.

After releasing the seals on her body, Mirai Uchiha then took Yakumo Kurama outside to the clearing near the villa.

Now, Yakumo Kurama had changed from her casual kimono into practical training clothes, appearing energetic and radiant.

Waiting patiently outside, Murakumo Kurama, Shizuka Yuhi, and others quickly approached when they saw the two appear.

Shizuka Yuhi spoke first, asking, "Mirai, did the surgery go well?"

Mirai Uchiha nodded. "The surgery was very successful. Yakumo, show everyone now."

Upon hearing this, an excited Yakumo Kurama immediately responded, "Yes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, under the shocked gazes of Murakumo Kurama, Shizuka Yuhi, and others, Yakumo Kurama first performed a set of somewhat unpolished martial arts forms.

Then she began running around Rimihill Manor.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

Hearing Yakumo Kurama's melodious voice echoing like silver bells, Murakumo Kurama, Shizuka Yuhi, and others all stood with their mouths wide open in shock.

They had anticipated that Yakumo Kurama's Bloodline Disease could be cured, but they'd never expected her to transform into this new version of herself.

Illness strikes like a falling mountain; recovery flows like silk being unraveled.

According to common sense, even if her illness had been cured, someone like Yakumo Kurama—who had lacked physical activity for a long time—should still need some time to recover.

Yet right now, Yakumo Kurama had directly transformed from someone who would gasp for breath just walking into someone capable of running nonstop around the villa for so long without feeling tired…

That was just too incredible!

Even Captain Mirai was a little taken aback.

So powerful were Hashirama's cells—they could truly transform someone completely overnight.

Knowing how long Yakumo Kurama had been suppressed, everyone silently watched as she released her emotions.

After a long while, Yakumo Kurama finally stopped running.

Her eyes had already turned red and swollen; she didn't know how many times that scene had appeared in her dreams before.

Now, it had finally come true!

She could finally run freely beneath the blue sky and white clouds, like any ordinary person.

The most important part was…

From now on, she could really choose to become a ninja!

Yakumo Kurama came directly in front of Mirai Uchiha and knelt: "Captain Mirai, you've given me a new life. This kindness is beyond repayment. From today onward, my life and loyalty are yours."

After hearing Yakumo Kurama's words, Mirai Uchiha helped her up and modestly replied, "Actually, you should be thanking Instructor Shizuka the most."

"It was him who asked me for help—that's how I came to know about your condition."

"Huh…" Taken aback, Yakumo Kurama hesitated for a moment before turning toward Shizuka Yuhi. "Lord Shizuka, thank you so much. Even in my next life—whether as an ox or a horse—I'll be sure to repay your kindness."

A faint twitch tugged at the corner of Shizuka Yuhi's mouth.

That's quite a vivid way to express gratitude indeed.

Seeing his own daughter look slightly embarrassed, Murakumo Kurama chuckled heartily, calling out, "Captain Mirai, no one's leaving tonight! Let's drink till we drop!"

As for Yakumo's decision, he himself didn't see anything wrong with it.

Putting aside the fact that Mirai Uchiha had indeed saved Yakumo's life and brought both her and the Kurama clan new hope, considering only Mirai Uchiha's strength and influence alone, it was more than enough reason for the Kurama clan to invest everything they had.

If successful, the Kurama clan would most certainly regain their former glory!

However, Mirai Uchiha smiled and waved his hand politely: "Clan Leader Murakumo, let's skip the drinking this time."

"The Three Taboos of Shinobi must still be followed."

His words made everyone present momentarily stunned, and then gradually recalled:

The ninja who stood above all others in power and prestige hadn't even come of age yet… 

———

At the banquet.

Murakumo Kurama, his face flushed from drinking, approached Mirai Uchiha and quietly asked, "Captain Mirai, I heard from Yakumo Kurama that she needs your ocular power every day to maintain her current physical condition?"

Mirai Uchiha nodded. "That's right. What's the matter?"

Murakumo Kurama quickly replied, "That must be too much trouble for you. I was just wondering... would it be okay if Yakumo Kurama moved into your house?"

"Huh?" Mirai Uchiha frowned. "That doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"

Murakumo Kurama sighed. "I know this request might sound impolite, but for Yakumo Kurama's sake, please agree to it."

"No matter what you need, our clan will definitely support you fully."

Glancing over at Yakumo Kurama, who was watching with hopeful eyes, Mirai Uchiha could only nod in reluctant agreement.

Was this really what it meant to be an outstanding man?

Well, nothing he could do about it now.

———

After bringing Yakumo Kurama back to the clan compound and briefly explaining the situation to Mikoto Uchiha,

Mikoto Uchiha simply smiled gently and went ahead to prepare a room for Yakumo Kurama.

Once everything was arranged, Mikoto returned to her room and saw Mirai looking troubled, so she stepped forward to comfort him. "Master, you don't need to worry about my feelings."

"My status doesn't qualify me to become your wife, so I will never feel jealous of other women. Please rest assured."

Hearing this, Mirai sighed. "It's not that I'm worried about."

Mikoto looked puzzled. "Then what are you worried about?"

"Our house is too small now. I'm afraid what we do at night might disturb Yakumo Kurama."

"Yakumo Kurama is at the age where she's curious about everything. What if she can't sleep and sneaks outside the door..."

Before Mirai finished speaking, Mikoto Uchiha's face had already turned bright red.

Why does this guy always manage to make her body flush just with a few words?

As soon as she thought about the scene Mirai had described, Mikoto felt herself starting to lose control again...
