Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

Dungeon.

The sound of footsteps echoed, prompting Uchiha Fugaku to lift his head slightly.

What greeted him was a sight he would never forget.

One by one, ANBU members, their faces hidden behind masks, were escorted in by Uchiha clan members. Their spirits were broken, a stark contrast to their usual composed and formidable demeanor.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The heavy iron doors slammed shut, leaving an oppressive silence in their wake.

Fugaku couldn't hold back his shock and shouted, "Hachida! What is going on? What have you done?!"

Uchiha Hachida smirked coldly. "Clan Leader Fugaku, these ANBU fools dared to come after Captain Mirai. Naturally, we captured them all."

"What?!"

"This is madness. Absolute madness!"

Fugaku's face turned deathly pale.

His worst fears had come to pass. Under the leadership of Uchiha Mirai, the clan had gone far beyond the point of no return in their rebellion.

Capturing so many ANBU in one fell swoop was tantamount to declaring war on the Hokage.

The Uchiha Clan was now walking the path of rogue shinobi.

And worse…

The clan might face annihilation.

Realizing this, Fugaku's voice turned frantic, his tone teetering on hysteria.

"You idiots! Do you even understand what you've done?! The ANBU are directly under the Hokage's command!"

"If they came for Mirai, it's because the Third Hokage himself ordered it!"

At his outburst, Hachida's smirk grew deeper.

"Of course we know the ANBU follow the Hokage's orders. That's why…" He gestured behind him. "We brought the Third Hokage along, too."

Fugaku's gaze followed the direction of Hachida's hand.

There, flanked by two Uchiha guards, stood Sarutobi Hiruzen. Shackled hand and foot, the Hokage was dragged into the farthest depths of the prison.

Fugaku's pupils contracted sharply. His cries of anger and despair abruptly ceased.

Desperation clawing at his mind, Fugaku slapped himself hard across the face. The sharp pain reminded him that he wasn't dreaming.

Thud!

His legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the cold, damp floor.

In that moment, his entire worldview shattered.

It was one thing to be captured by Mirai himself. But the Third Hokage? The ruler of Konoha?

This was beyond comprehension. Sarutobi Hiruzen was Konoha's highest authority. No one dared to oppose his orders.

But now…

Fugaku stared upward, his voice trembling. "Hachida… What happened while I was imprisoned?"

Hachida's expression twisted into one of disdain.

This pathetic man was once their clan's leader?

If not for Captain Mirai's rise to prominence, the Uchiha Clan would still be groveling at Sarutobi Hiruzen's feet, wouldn't they?

Suppressing his disgust, Hachida finally answered, "I can't disclose everything that's happened. But there's something personal I can share with you."

Fugaku clung to the words like a lifeline. "What is it?"

"Lady Mikoto has abandoned you and pledged herself as Captain Mirai's personal servant."

"What?!"

"Your son, Itachi, has also forsaken you. He now sees you as a source of shame and proudly follows Captain Mirai's will."

"And Sasuke… well, he's only two months old, so there's not much to say about him yet."

Hachida sneered.

"Don't worry, though. Captain Mirai has no plans to kill you—yet. When the Hokage's faction has been utterly destroyed and the Uchiha Clan sits at the pinnacle of Konoha, Captain Mirai will come to answer all your questions."

"That day won't be far off, hahahaha!"

Hachida's maniacal laughter faded into the distance.

Fugaku lay sprawled on the damp, shadowed floor, his lifeless eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

How had it come to this?

In the future he had envisioned, compromise was the only way forward.

But now…

His reputation lay in ruins. His wife had left him. His children rejected him.

Even the Hokage, whom he had feared and respected, was imprisoned alongside him.

Fugaku closed his eyes, his voice a broken whisper: "Was I… truly wrong?"

...

The Next Day

Konoha Police Force Headquarters

Uchiha Hachida strode into Captain Mirai's office, his steps quick and deliberate.

"Captain, as per your orders, the allied clans have stationed their forces in a ten-kilometer perimeter around the village. No one can leave without your approval—not even a fly."

Mirai nodded impassively. "Good."

"However…" Hachida hesitated, his expression troubled.

"What is it?"

Hachida knelt on one knee, bowing his head. "Captain, Uchiha Fugaku has committed suicide."

Mirai raised an eyebrow. "Suicide?"

"Yes." Hachida's tone turned solemn. "Before his death, he ranted about how he would 'never accept this reality' and swore that you would never humiliate him."

"Captain, I believe this was my fault. I may have said too much to him yesterday. Please punish me."

Mirai waved a hand dismissively. "There's no need. What I set out to achieve is inevitable."

"Dead or alive, Fugaku is irrelevant. Even if I have to use Edo Tensei, I'll ensure he witnesses the downfall of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Uchiha Clan's ascension."

Hachida felt a chill crawl down his spine.

He had encountered countless ruthless individuals before, but Captain Mirai was in a league of his own.

A living nightmare.

Bowing deeply, Hachida excused himself. "If there's nothing else, Captain, I'll take my leave."

Mirai gestured for him to wait, his focus still on the document he was writing.

After a while, Mirai stretched and handed the paper to Hachida.

"Deliver this to the Konoha News Agency. Make sure it's published in tomorrow's edition."

"Yes, Captain!"

Taking the document, Hachida couldn't help but glance at its bold, eye-catching headline:

"Midnight Screams and Missing Lingerie: The Corruption Hidden in Konoha's Shadows!"

"The Insect Thriving in Darkness: Exposing the Rotten Core of Konoha's Power!"

"Three Minutes to Uncover the Truth of the 'Dark Shinobi'!"
