After quickly finishing the last bite of his dango, Mirai started heading outside. Noticing this, Shisui hurried to catch up. He was still very curious about this remarkable senior within the clan.

The two soon arrived at the clan grounds. It was around eleven in the morning, and the villagers, having worked hard all morning, were ready to take a break. Most wore relaxed smiles, clearly looking forward to some rest. When they saw Mirai, many greeted him with a smile.

"Mirai, I hea...

Dawn.

The Border of the Land of Fire.

From afar, Mirai sped across the horizon, standing atop golden sand. As he reached the Konoha base camp, he scattered the sand beneath his feet, allowing himself to fall from the sky.

"Flying Thunder God!"

With a whispered command, his figure vanished, reappearing instantly inside a room. Dismissing his Shadow Clone with a wave, he reviewed the clone's memories and confirmed nothing unusual. Only t...

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

"Wind Style: Pressure Damage!"

The combined force of fire and wind cleared the battlefield ahead in an instant.

Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've successfully plundered a reward: Chakra +1!

Nobody could have expected this: by the time they arrived, they were greeted by the lifeless bodies of two Sunagakure shinobi lying on the ground. Just ahead, the shinobi called Rasa was already gathering his immense reserves of gold sand, ready to unleash a massive attack.

Luckily, Minato knew the Flying Thunder God technique—otherwise, Mirai might have died right there from that one strike.

"Mirai, you have no idea how close it was back then," Kurenai said, her voice shaking s...

31 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

In an instant, Mirai struck down Daizan, leaving Rasa and Maki in stunned silence. A kid who looked barely in his teens possessed such terrifying power!

Even though it was clear he used a secret jutsu, the level he demonstrated was enough to speak volumes about his strength.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully claiming the reward: Wind Style - Pressure Damage!

Land of Fire.

In the dense forest near the border, Mirai led Asuma and Kurenai, swiftly moving through the towering trees. Recently, casualties on the Konoha side had been steadily increasing, with many patrol teams mysteriously disappearing.

According to intelligence, a team of Chunin had been ambushed northwest of the camp, and they were racing toward the location to offer backup.

Without a word, they continued until they neared the location indic...

"Interesting kid," muttered the Sunagakure jōnin, a faint smile playing on his lips as he watched Mirai in action. The young shinobi, seemingly fresh out of the Academy, had forced him to change his approach—a rare occurrence.

This kid wasn't just skilled. His timing was impeccable, and the way he'd spoken earlier, it was as if he hadn't even considered the jōnin a threat. A thrill crept into the Sunagakure ninja's mind: making this cocky brat show some despair could be fun.

By the time Mirai had finished clearing the battlefield, Kurenai and Asuma finally arrived.

"Mirai, are you hurt?"

Kurenai asked immediately, concern evident in her eyes.

Mirai just chuckled. "Nope. It was only three Genin—I took care of them easily."

Kurenai and Asuma exchanged a look, speechless at his nonchalance.

Only three Genin? Wasn't he also just a Genin himself?

Asuma frowned. "Mirai, you're being reckless. We're supposed to operate as a team, no...

27 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Returning to his room, Mirai activated the barrier he had set up around the space. Carefully pulling the curtains, he ensured every precaution was in place before sitting down, closing his eyes, and beginning to focus on the reward he had just received.

After a while, he opened his eyes, thrilled. This reward was beyond his expectations.

Just as he had once absorbed Uchiha Fugaku's Uchiha Style Kenjutsu, this time he had acquired not only the Flying Thunder God Technique from Nami...

26 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Watching Minato, Mirai felt a surge of excitement.

Getting a chance to spar with someone of his caliber wasn't an opportunity just anyone could have!

Not to mention…

With his plunder system, who knew what unexpected rewards he might gain?

"Wind Style: Wind Blade!"

Mirai formed a series of hand seals and launched several sharp wind blades toward Minato. He chose not to use the Uchiha clan's specialty, Fire Style, since Minato's speed would likely make it ineffec...

Obito's face was filled with disbelief as he stared into the scarlet Sharingan before him, each eye glistening with the three tomoe.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, he knew all too well what those eyes represented.

Three-tomoe!

The ultimate form of the Sharingan.

Every Uchiha with a three-tomoe Sharingan was considered a clan elite, at the very least a Jonin-level shinobi! In a one-on-one scenario, few could stand against a Uchiha possessing such power.

In truth�...

24 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

A squad of six was escorting the convoy toward the border. Once they'd left the thirty-mile radius from the village, everyone became extra cautious. Even though they were still within the Land of Fire, the world of shinobi had become increasingly chaotic. Encounters with hostile shinobi were likely, even on home soil.

By dusk, they had only traveled about a fifth of the distance to their destination. It would take at least five days to arrive. After setting up camp, Mirai expertly began...

23 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

When Mirai heard that the Third Kazekage had gone missing, he felt a thrill of excitement. In the original storyline, it was Sasori who turned the Kazekage into a human puppet and then defected from the village. Sunagakure was left entirely in the dark about this.

After thwarting a surprise attack from Kumogakure, Sunagakure used the Kazekage's disappearance as an excuse to declare war on Konoha. Thus, the Third Shinobi World War began.

In the past, Mirai would have avoided the wa...

22 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

As Guy energetically ran off on his hands, roaring with excitement, Duy turned to look seriously at Mirai.

"Mirai, you have a lot of potential, so I've decided to teach you the secret technique, the Eight Gates.'"

Before Mirai could respond, Duy continued,

"Though I'm just a low-ranking ninja, the Eight Gates is an incredibly powerful Taijutsu."

"I'll give you a demonstration right now."

Duy, worried that Mirai might underestimate the Eight Gates because of his r...

21 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Four hundred thirty-one... four hundred thirty-two... four hundred thirty-three…"

Thud!

Might Guy collapsed onto the ground, completely exhausted. The soil beneath him was soaked from his sweat.

"Alright, Guy." Mirai tossed him a bottle of water. "Let's call it for today."

"Mirai, I can't help but envy you," Guy said, looking at her with a mix of admiration and frustration. "I'm giving it my all, yet it feels like you're still miles ahead."

Guy had a good atti...

20 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"He… He caught it!!!"

Guy's mouth dropped open in shock as he watched the scene in front of him. To his eyes, Kakashi's speed just now was absolutely incredible. The power behind that Chidori seemed like it could cut through anything. He had been sure Mirai was in real danger, but against all odds, he'd stopped it.

No… stopping it wasn't even the most surprising part.

Mirai was standing there, completely unfazed, his hand gripping Kakashi's wrist, halting the Chidori mid...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed. During that period, Mirai hadn't taken a single day off. Mission after mission… He was like a tireless machine. His reputation within the village grew, nearly every shinobi in Konoha had heard of the mission-crazy new genin.

A few times, Kurenai had tried to discreetly ask Mirai if he was in need of money, even offering to have her father lend him some. But after receiving no clear response, sh...

18 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Under Mirai's watchful gaze, Kurenai and Asuma picked up their kunai and finished off the remaining bandits.

Once the task was done, Kurenai carefully approached Mirai.

"Mirai, I won't do that again. Please don't be mad, okay?"

Mirai gently patted her on the head. "I'm not mad. As long as you've learned from today, that's what matters."

He wasn't particularly upset with Kurenai or Asuma. They were both only teenagers, facing something like this for the first time. It w...

Late at night.

Mirai's eyes snapped open. He stepped outside to find Kurenai and Asuma already waiting for him.

"Up early, I see," Mirai greeted them.

Kurenai rubbed her hands together. "A bit nervous, that's all."

Asuma lifted his head, letting out a quiet snort.

Before long, Shinku also emerged from his room, joining them. They exchanged a quick glance before disappearing into the night.

Several miles from the village, they arrived at a s...

16 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

The journey took three days.

Although Shinku had managed to control the travel pace, Asuma and Kurenai still looked pale and exhausted when they arrived at their destination.

As they approached the village gate, two men wielding pitchforks took up defensive stances.

"Who are you?"

"We're Konoha shinobi, here on a mission commissioned by your village," Shinku explained.

The men exchanged wary glances before one of them ran into the village. Moments later, a crowd ...

15 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Arrogance—not ignorance—is what stands in the way of a ninja's survival."

Repeating Mirai's words, Shinku couldn't help but be impressed. As a seasoned ninja who had danced with death countless times, he knew the wisdom in what Mirai said. Over the years, he had witnessed many ninja fall due to their arrogance—regardless of their strength or lack thereof.

Only the cautious survive in this line of work, they're always mindful, never underestimating even the weakest of oppone...

14 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Sigh... There's just no helping it."

Seeing the disheartened looks on Kurenai and Asuma's faces, Shinku sighed with resignation.

"Today, let's check out the mission hall and see if there's a suitable C-rank mission for us."

"What?! Really?!"

Hearing Shinku's words, Asuma and Kurenai immediately perked up, excitement lighting up their faces. Were they finally moving on to C-rank missions? Fantastic!

Unlike D-rank missions, C-rank tasks not only offered better pay...

In Konoha Village.

On the open ground above Hokage Rock, four shinobi sit cross-legged in a circle: Shinku Yuhi, Mirai Uchiha, Asuma Sarutobi, and Kurenai Yuhi. A gentle breeze drifts over them as Shinku begins to speak.

"I'm Shinku Yuhi, your team's leader," he says with a calm smile. "A skilled Jōnin, specialized in genjutsu. I look forward to working with all of you."

He gestures for the others to introduce themselves.

Asuma clears his throat, sitt...

12 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Hokage Residence

After assigning the teams and their Jonin leaders, Hiruzen dismissed Minato, Shinku Yuhi, and the others. Once the room was empty, he sat quietly, contemplating with his pipe in hand.

To be honest, Uchiha Mirai's performance today had taken him by surprise. While most assumed Mirai had narrowly won, Hiruzen knew better—Kakashi had been thoroughly outmatched, whether in kenjutsu or ninjutsu. In other words, Uchiha Mirai's skills had already surpa...

11 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Kakashi… lost?"

"No way, did Mirai actually beat Kakashi?"

"It's over… just like that?"

The crowd watched, stunned, as Uchiha Mirai held his long sword at Kakashi's neck. Shock filled everyone's faces. Kakashi, the one they'd put so much faith in, had lost?

Just as they thought the match was settled, the unexpected happened.

Kakashi's body suddenly turned into a burst of lightning, exploding against Mirai's form.

The ground cracked open, and Kakashi em...

10 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Of course it wouldn't end so simply."

Mirai shoved his hands in his pockets, slowly stepping into the center of the training grounds. Kakashi Hatake, who had graduated long ago, wasn't required to take this graduation exam.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi had clearly planned for this. He'd arranged for Kakashi to face Mirai, likely to dampen the Uchiha's ambitions and send a message that the power of the Hokage faction far surpassed that of the Uchiha—both now and in the future.

But...

9 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

At the sound of his name, Mirai stepped calmly into the center of the training grounds, unfazed by the crowd's stares.

In contrast, Asuma darted into the ring in a flash, grinning eagerly.

"Mirai, this time, I'll beat you in front of everyone. I'll show Kurenai who the real strong one is!"

Since Mirai had easily defeated him last time, Asuma had been training relentlessly, shedding his usual nonchalance for a single goal: to prove his strength here, in front of everyone.

Ninja Academy Grounds.

Instructors from the Ninja Academy were all lined up, directing the graduating students into neat rows. Not far off on the viewing platform, the Third Hokage and a gathering of elite jonin stood observing the proceedings. Today, everything had to be flawless.

"Heh, this year's kids sure are lively," Hiruzen remarked, taking a puff from his pipe. His face wrinkled up into a contented smile.

"Hmph! Ninjas are tools. What's with all this ...

7 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Keep a low profile?"

"That's right."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded. "I know. With your skill, crushing the others in your class is easy. But remember, the tallest tree catches the most wind."

"Your talent could make the village wary of our clan."

"So… for tomorrow's evaluation, hold back a bit."

Hearing Fugaku's words, Mirai Uchiha understood his reasoning.

Though he'd known for a while that Fugaku's calm exterior hid a cautious heart, he hadn't expected him to b...

6 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

In the dense woods of Konoha, Mirai stood on an open training field, wielding a long blade with swift, unrelenting strikes. His movements, while fierce like a storm, carried the grace of a butterfly in flight. Enhanced by his Sharingan, the unique flair of the Uchiha sword style shone through him with remarkable elegance.

Clang!

With a final echoing sound, Mirai sheathed his blade and stood still.

"Not bad at all," he thought to himself, admiring the sword. It was no surpris...
