Thud!
After skewering a Cloud ninja through the heart, Mirai Uchiha once again received the System's notification in his mind.
[Ding! Master, you've successfully obtained a reward: Physique +1!]
At his command, a semi-transparent, light-blue interface materialized before Mirai's eyes.
[Name: Mirai Uchiha]
[Physique: 515]
[Spiritual Power: 462]
[Chakra: 461]
[...]
Staring at the stats displayed on the interface, Mirai's face lit up with excitement.
In just one night alone, his attributes had skyrocketed by nearly six hundred points.
Among them, his Physique attribute had already broken past the five-hundred mark.
The sudden surge of power left Mirai momentarily dazed—he even had a fleeting vision of punching through the entire ninja world.
Besides this, Mirai could feel that his triple-comma Sharingan had also undergone significant changes.
That aching, tingling sensation in his eyes had lasted quite some time now, and his ocular power had received an enormous boost as well.
Mirai had an instinctive feeling—his triple-comma Sharingan wouldn't take long to evolve again.
Mirai clearly understood that once his triple-comma Sharingan evolved further, it would become the Mangekyo Sharingan!
Just thinking about those eerie, powerful Dojutsu techniques like [Tsukuyomi], [Amaterasu], [Kotoamatsukami], [Kagutsuchi], [Kamui]—and more—left Mirai unable to suppress his sense of longing.
What kind of Dojutsu would he unlock if he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan?
As for Chakra? No need to say much. Even if he became a walking jutsu cannon, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of Chakra.
Thinking about "walking jutsu cannon," Mirai rubbed his nose.
Even considering his current Ninjutsu repertoire alone, even some famous "technician" from the original series couldn't compare to him.
If he truly wished to continuously blast enemies with relentless jutsu, that wouldn't be much of a problem either.
Yet just imagining it briefly, Mirai immediately decided to abandon the idea.
Constantly releasing jutsu—his hands would probably become useless in no time.
Unless he could one day summon techniques just by shouting their names like Hashirama Senju, he'd never consider such a fighting style.
"Yeah, large-scale battlefields like this really suit me best."
"But...after this incident, I'll definitely need some time to recover, adjust my mindset, and adapt to this sudden surge of strength."
After absorbing tonight's gains, Mirai murmured softly to himself.
Though his System was a lethal cheat, he never wanted to become a cold-hearted, emotionless killing machine.
If Mirai Uchiha didn't adjust his mindset in time after killing so many people, he feared he would become so emotionally detached that he'd feel alienated from humanity itself.
Even if the entire ninja world knelt before him in submission, he probably wouldn't feel much joy.
This wasn't mere moral anguish—it was simply human nature. Once emotions were lost, what difference would there be between him and a walking corpse?
Just then, a sonic boom rang out, followed by an angry voice from behind: "Damn Konoha brat, I'll kill you!"
Like a streak of blue lightning, A immediately appeared before Mirai Uchiha.
He raised his thick, powerful arm and swung his clenched fist straight at Mirai!
After accelerating over an extremely long distance, A had already reached maximum speed. His attack descended with thunderous might, boosted simultaneously by both velocity and strength.
Boom! A loud explosion erupted as a powerful shockwave rippled outward in all directions.
The ground trembled violently, and dust and smoke billowed into the air.
But in the next moment, under everyone's shocked gazes, A's body flew backward like a cannonball, gouging out a nearly mile-long trench in the ground.
"W-What? Lord A was actually knocked back?"
"Are you kidding me? Even the Eight-Tails would be sent flying by Lord A's punches!"
"I must have fallen for some Genjutsu. There's absolutely no way that thin Konoha brat could possibly do something like this!"
The ninja of Cloud shouted in unison.
As the son of the Third Raikage, they were extremely familiar with A's strength.
Back when the Eight-Tails had gone on a rampage, A had been able to withstand its power with physical strength alone.
Now, having launched such an awe-inspiring attack, he was still instantly sent flying by his opponent...
How could such a monstrous person exist in this world?
Unlike the ninja of Cloud, the Konoha side of the battlefield erupted in smiles and joy.
At first, when they saw A transform into lightning and rush toward Mirai Uchiha from behind, their hearts leapt into their throats—they were afraid their young prodigy might perish here today.
Yet no one had expected that A, who charged forward with such speed, would fly backward just as fast.
This sudden twist left many Konoha ninja astonished—and grinning uncontrollably.
"Hahaha! This is hilarious! That Cloud ninja charged at Mirai Uchiha like he was unstoppable, and I actually believed he was strong too."
"You idiot, A is the son of the Third Raikage—the acknowledged candidate for the Fourth Raikage! He's a monster whose physical strength rivals that of a tailed beast. How could you ever think he was weak?"
"Wait, if A is really that strong... how did Mirai Uchiha manage to do that just now?"
"
"I don't know. Maybe he's stronger than A?"
"Gulp..."
Hearing this conclusion, the Konoha ninjas all exchanged glances, instinctively swallowing hard.
"Come to think of it, Mirai Uchiha managed to scare those brainless Cloud ninjas off running like rats all by himself. That sight was absolutely terrifying."
"Think about it—our easy win today was probably all thanks to Mirai Uchiha."
"That's right. Lucky for us he's on our side. If he were on the opposing side, I can't even imagine how bad things would get."
Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, A struggled to stand up from the ground. With a sharp "pop," he shoved his dislocated arm back into place.
His face looked terrible, his eyes filled entirely with disbelief.
With the enhancement of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his physical abilities had already reached an extremely terrifying level.
He knew exactly how devastating that last attack had been.
Plain and simple—even Orochimaru wouldn't have survived a direct hit from that punch.
Yet just now, he'd been sent flying this far by that Konoha brat with only one punch!
Most importantly, A could feel clearly—this kid hadn't used any secret techniques at all! The power behind that punch had come purely from his natural physical strength!
How could there possibly be someone in this world with such monstrous physical ability?
Was this guy actually a freakin' monster?!
"Even if you're a monster, for killing so many of our village's ninja, I'll make you pay!"
[Maximum Output Lightning Release Chakra Mode!]
A's body became enveloped in lightning, and every strand of his hair stood straight up.
The next instant, A turned into a lightning bolt again, rocketing toward Mirai Uchiha with a clenched fist.
[Raikōken (Lightning Release Cutting Sword)!]
