Naruto: Uchiha Plunder System

Three days later.

The Kumogakure delegation, led by Yayue Sheng, left Konoha carrying the corpse of Hizashi Hyuga.

A smug expression covered Yayue Sheng's face.

The gains from this trip to Konoha had exceeded his wildest expectations.

During the negotiations, he had acted slightly aggressive while feeling nervous inside, yet surprisingly, the Third Hokage and others actually chose to back down.

Originally, he hadn't even been sure whether the demanded war indemnity would satisfy Kumo, but in the end, Konoha paid only about half.

The price was merely signing a non-aggression alliance agreement...

But who really cared about such agreements anyway?

Besides the issue of compensation, the Third Hokage actually made the person blamed by the Hyūga Clan come forward to atone for the death of their ninja.

Hizashi Hyuga—the Branch House leader of the Hyūga Clan—committed suicide.

Moreover, his corpse could be brought back to Kumogakure.

Not to mention the strength of the Branch House leader from the Hyūga Clan, just the body of a Kekkei Genkai ninja like him was already extremely valuable.

[Byakugan!]

Its rarity was even greater than that of the Sharingan.

Although the Byakugan would become unusable upon a Branch member's death, it still held significant research value.

Beyond research value, once this news spread, Kumogakure's lost prestige from the war would be restored.

The Daimyo would increase financial support, and employers who had lost confidence in Kumogakure would start hiring the village's ninja again.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the benefits he gained through these negotiations were as great as winning a war!

Thinking about the past few days, Yayue Sheng felt almost like dreaming.

If the Third Hokage had been replaced with the Fourth Raikage instead, he probably wouldn't have survived with ten lives to spare.

Seeing Yayue Sheng's joyous look, Samui curiously asked, "Lord Yayue Sheng, you seem very happy. Did the negotiations go smoothly?"

Yayue Sheng nodded. "Exactly. The gains from this mission can only be described as bountiful. I might even receive commendation from the Raikage upon my return."

"And through these negotiations, I also obtained some crucial intelligence from Konoha."

Upon hearing this, Samui became even more intrigued. "Lord Yayue Sheng, what kind of intelligence?"

Yayue Sheng said solemnly, "Konoha isn't nearly as strong as it seems outwardly—they suffer intense fights to the death."

He had only stayed in Konoha for a few days when the villagers sacrificed the leader of the Hyuga Branch House, clearly revealing how fierce the conflicts among Konoha's top leaders were.

At this rate, there might still be chances for them to make a comeback in the future.

Thinking about this, Yayue Sheng looked at Samui, Darui, and the others, warning them, "You must always stand united and never betray or plot against each other."

"Otherwise, even if we possessed power like Mirai Uchiha's, the village would ultimately end up in pieces."

"Yes!"

————

Uchiha District.

Inside a training ground, Mirai Uchiha sat cross-legged on the ground, silently staring at his palm.

Chakra continuously gathered, spinning chaotically.

Rasengan!

A sky-blue sphere nearly one meter wide appeared in Mirai Uchiha's palm. He raised his arm, focused his mind, and infused wind-natured chakra into the fully-formed Rasengan.

The Rasengan immediately became violently unstable, with wind blades forming around it.

[Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!]

Mirai Uchiha steadied himself and constantly adjusted his technique.

The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken gradually stabilized, its wild surging energy becoming more restrained.

Mirai Uchiha took a deep breath. The size of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken in his hand slowly began shrinking.

Its originally clear blue color instantly turned pitch-black, and a destructive aura began spreading outward.

Suddenly, that destructive force became extremely volatile, and the perfect spherical shape distorted unevenly.

Seeing this, Mirai Uchiha immediately withdrew his chakra, forcibly suppressing the Rasengan in his hand.

After quite some time, he finally dispersed the technique slowly.

Looking at his right hand, which had already gone numb and lost sensation, Mirai Uchiha activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Under the effect of 'Sarutahiko-no-Kami' (a divine healing force), Mirai Uchiha's severely damaged right arm gradually healed, with every chakra pathway severed by wind-natured chakra restoring completely.

Though his ninjutsu practice had failed, Mirai Uchiha didn't seem too disappointed.

The Rasenrōgyō was an ultimate advanced form of the Wind Release Rasengan—it naturally wouldn't succeed easily.

Besides, since he could use his Dojutsu to practice without sustaining injury, mastering the "Rasenrōgyō" was only a matter of time anyway.

Just then, Inabi Uchiha appeared before Mirai Uchiha. "Captain Mirai Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga requests an audience."

Mirai Uchiha stood up, chuckling lightly. "Let him come."

————

"Clan Leader Hiashi, what brings you here today?"

Hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Hiashi Hyuga responded solemnly, "You know exactly why I'm here, Captain Mirai Uchiha. I won't beat around the bush any longer."

"I am willing to form an alliance with the Uchiha Clan!"

Mirai Uchiha said indifferently, "Clan Leader Hiashi, as I've already told you, Hiruzen Sarutobi isn't worth following. If you'd come to me sooner, perhaps your younger brother wouldn't have died."

Hiashi Hyuga clenched his fists tightly, replying coldly, "Captain Mirai Uchiha, please stop rubbing salt into the wound."

Thinking about his late younger brother Hizashi Hyuga, Hiashi Hyuga felt an intense urge to kill someone.

Even though the Kumogakure ninja's statements had many inconsistencies, and the deceased ninja clearly bore knife wounds instead of Gentle Fist injuries,

the Third Hokage actually forced his own younger brother to commit suicide just to cover up the truth...

While shamelessly claiming he had exhausted every effort to save his life.

Thinking about his younger brother's desperate gaze before death, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but wish to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi with his own hands.

Originally, Hiashi had believed Sarutobi's pressure on the clans was meant to stabilize the village. But now he realized—Sarutobi was nothing more than a coward who only showed strength within his own inner circle!

"Then I'll speak plainly," Mirai Uchiha stepped forward before Hiashi Hyuga. "I will overthrow Sarutobi Hiruzen's rule and expose their hypocrisy for all to see."

"But there's one condition."

Hiashi Hyuga immediately asked, "What condition?"

Mirai smiled slightly. "The Hyuga Clan must recognize the Uchiha Clan's supremacy."

"Our alliance must have the Uchiha as its rightful leaders."

Upon hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga frowned. "The elders in our clan won't agree to such a demand."

The Hyuga had always considered themselves elite members of Konoha society. In their eyes, the Hyuga and Uchiha were equals.

Yet now, Mirai Uchiha actually wanted the Uchiha to stand above the Hyuga...

Even if he agreed, those elders would never accept it.

In response, Mirai Uchiha merely scoffed disdainfully. "Hiashi Hyuga, relics of the old era may cling to survival however they can—but if they hinder progress toward the new age, they should be eliminated."

"And besides... aren't you also seeking to abolish the Main House and Branch House system?"

"I can ensure that happens."
