Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

At the edge of the dense forest surrounding Konoha...

In an unremarkable clearing, a damp and shadowy cave was hidden from plain sight.

Mirai strolled leisurely down the forest path, appearing no different from a wandering traveler.

Ever since awakening the Byakugan, Konoha had ceased to hold any secrets from his eyes.

This was it—the largest experimental base under Shimura Danzo's command. Inside lay irrefutable evidence of his inhumane human experiments.

Suddenly, three masked shinobi appeared in front of Mirai, blocking his path.

"Leave. Now."

Their words were curt, delivered with an air of cold indifference. The killing intent radiating from them was enough to warn anyone of the danger they posed.

These were Root shinobi.

Most Root operatives, brainwashed by Danzo, functioned as emotionless tools, devoid of independent thought. Only a rare few retained a semblance of normalcy.

But compared to the masked shinobi before him, Uchiha Mirai was far more ruthless.

Without so much as a word, Mirai clasped his hands together, forming the Tiger Seal.

"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

A wave of fire roared forth, engulfing the three Root operatives. They didn't even have time to scream before being reduced to ash.

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've successfully plundered: Mental Strength +1! ]

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've acquired: Wind Style: Vacuum Extreme Wave! ]

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host! Chakra +1! ]

[ … ]

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the forest. Within moments, dozens of masked Root shinobi surrounded Mirai.

Glaring at the charred remains of their comrades, the squad leader spoke coldly.

"Uchiha Mirai, do you intend to rebel?"

In response, Mirai's Mangekyō Sharingan flared, the crimson glow sending a chill through the air.

Squelch!

The Root leader's eyes widened in disbelief as a blade pierced through his chest. His final words were a desperate warning:

"Don't... look into his eyes..."

Bang!

The leader's body crumpled, lifeless. The remaining Root shinobi, realizing their comrade had been ensnared by genjutsu, promptly executed him to prevent further casualties. Lowering their gazes to avoid the Sharingan, they gritted their teeth.

A signal flare shot into the sky, illuminating the forest canopy. Mirai made no effort to stop it.

Calmly, he began walking toward the experimental base, each measured step exuding an aura of death that pressed heavily on the Root operatives.

With a collective battle cry, they charged at him.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere!"

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host! Mental Strength +1! ]

"Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death!"

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host! Physique +1! ]

"Water Style: Wild Water Wave!"

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host! … ]

The system's notifications rang endlessly as Mirai unleashed one technique after another. Any Root shinobi who dared stand in his way was effortlessly cut down, their bodies falling to the forest floor in pieces.

The short path to the base was now littered with corpses, blood pooling and seeping into the earth.

Finally, Mirai arrived at the entrance of the cave. Without sparing a glance at the few surviving Root operatives behind him, he stepped inside.

His voice, calm and chilling, echoed through the dark tunnel:

"Dance of the Seedling Ferns."

Sharp bone spikes erupted from the ground, growing uncontrollably and impaling everything in their path. The sticky scent of fresh blood filled the air.

Contrary to expectations, the interior of the cave was dry and orderly. The smooth walls and floors reflected a meticulous construction. Bright fluorescent lights spaced evenly along the corridor illuminated the passage like daylight.

Walking deeper inside, Mirai passed rows of intricate experimental equipment. Further ahead, heavy iron doors lined the walls on both sides.

He opened one of the rooms. Inside were shelves filled with biological samples: hearts, pancreases, intestines, livers, kidneys—and unformed clusters of cells.

In larger nutrient tanks, naked human bodies floated lifelessly.

Mirai's gaze swept over the neatly labeled tags on each container. A cold smirk crossed his lips.

"With this evidence, Shimura Danzo's downfall is inevitable," he muttered.

At the end of the corridor lay a single, vast chamber lined with bookshelves. Scrolls of various sizes, meticulously categorized, filled the shelves.

"This must be it," Mirai thought. "Years of Danzo's research and secrets."

He sealed the scrolls into a pre-prepared summoning scroll and turned to leave.

"By now, the clan leaders should be arriving," he mused.

Outside the cave, a group of shinobi cautiously approached, the tension palpable.

"Hachida-sama, where exactly are we going?" one of them asked nervously.

"The stench of blood is overwhelming. Stay alert!" another warned.

As they entered the clearing, the gruesome sight of severed bodies and dried blood greeted them. Their hearts raced.

"Was this... Captain Mirai's doing?" someone whispered.

The fallen shinobi were from the Anbu and Root. Their deaths symbolized open rebellion—Uchiha against the Hokage faction.

Though they had anticipated this day, seeing it unfold still sent waves of unease through their ranks. They knew today would mark the beginning of a new era for Konoha, regardless of the outcome.

Emerging from the cave, Mirai's gaze swept over the gathered clan leaders: Hyūga Hiashi, Aburame Shibi, Kurama Unkai, and others.

With a faint smile, he spoke:

"It seems everyone's here."

"Hachida, bring out the evidence," he ordered.

"At once!" Hachida replied, leading his squad inside.

Soon, crates of grisly experimental materials were brought out. The grotesque organs and floating bodies in the tanks drew horrified gasps from the assembled leaders.

Hyūga Hiashi's face darkened as he read one of the tags aloud:

"Aburame Mifune? He supposedly died during a mission. Why are his organs here?"

"These…" someone else stammered, pointing at another tag.

"These are Hashirama's cells! Are these truly from the First Hokage?"

"Danzo's experiments span every major clan—Uchiha, Hyūga, Senju, Kato, Nara, Uzumaki… What madness was he planning?!"

Enraged shouts erupted as the clan leaders processed the evidence before them.

The sight of their clans' secrets exploited for Danzo's schemes extinguished all hesitation. Their fury solidified their resolve.

Today, the Uchiha rebellion was no longer a question of justification—it was a necessity.
