After the family finished their meal in a harmonious atmosphere, Grandma retired to her room to rest.
Obito led Shisui out of the house, aimlessly wandering the streets.
He glanced at Shisui beside him and spoke thoughtfully, "Shisui, it seems like your vision is deteriorating."
Shisui was startled at first but then smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Yes, during this recent mission, I encountered some troublesome enemies…"
Obito nodded without pressing further.
The Raikage glanced at Darui and instructed,
"When we return to Kumogakure, issue a bounty for that kid. Put him on the hit list."
Darui nodded, asking,
"Got it, Boss. How much should the bounty be?"
The Raikage paused in thought before stating a number.
"Fifty million ryō."
"Fifty million?!" Darui exclaimed, clearly taken aback.
However, recalling Obito's terrifying strength, he quickly realized that fifty million wasn't excessive.

After dressing, Mirai walked into the living room with Mikoto.
Konan and Yakumo were seated nearby, both sporting dark circles under their eyes, looking utterly drained.
"What's with you two? Didn't sleep well last night?"
Mirai's nonchalant tone made Konan and Yakumo exchange exasperated looks.
How could we possibly have slept well? After all, the racket you and Mikoto made last night would keep anyone awake!

Mirai shook his head. "Don't overthink it. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't bother with these petty schemes."
Konan let out a sigh of relief.
Though his words weren't exactly comforting, they made sense.
Given the overwhelming power he'd just displayed, there was no need for him to waste time pretending.

Despite being outnumbered, the Konoha shinobi showed no sign of fear. Each one radiated anger and killing intent, launching a fierce counterattack against the Kumogakure forces.

With a resounding bang, a towering black-furred monkey clad in armor appeared beside Hiruzen Sarutobi.

From atop the valley, Hanzō of the Salamander's face darkened.
He had long heard of Uchiha Mirai's fearsome reputation, even while secluded in Amegakure.

Obito barely caught sight of a blinding blue flash before he was sent flying.

But as he looked at Obito's bright, almost gleeful smile, he realized something unsettling: Obito didn't seem worried at all.

Minato shut his gaping mouth and began to think it over.

Mirai smiled faintly. "Don't worry, it went smoothly."
