Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

The next day.

The villagers and shinobi of Konoha were left in shock as they read the morning newspaper.

The headline clearly declared: Shimura Danzo, leading Root ninja and the entire Shimura Clan, defected from Konoha but were annihilated overnight.

Just yesterday, news of Danzo's scandal had made waves. And that very night, he and his clan were completely eradicated.

The efficiency of it all took everyone by surprise.

But after the initial shock, most reactions turned into unrestrained joy—especially among Konoha's ordinary villagers.

To them, the destruction of Shimura Danzo, the Shimura Clan, and Root was nothing short of purging a colossal tumor from the village.

Konoha could only grow stronger and more harmonious in their absence.

The downfall of a privileged class was exhilarating enough, but the Shimura Clan's reputation had long been tarnished in the eyes of many.

"They deserved it," a villager muttered. "They hoarded most of the village's resources, only to betray us in the end. Unforgivable!"

"Without Mirai-sama and the other clan leaders setting up that ambush, they might've escaped!"

"The paper said Danzo fled with classified documents. If he'd succeeded, Konoha would've suffered a devastating blow!"

"Even so, killing every single member of the Shimura Clan is a bit excessive, isn't it?"

"Excessive? Did you ever think about how excessive they were when experimenting on their comrades?"

"The wealth and power they accumulated were built on the blood and sweat of the rest of us. They deserve no sympathy."

"Well said. The Shimura Clan's innate evil makes their destruction a relief."

As the villagers discussed, Uchiha Shisui and his patrol team couldn't suppress their satisfaction.

The oppressive weight of the Shimura Clan had finally been lifted.

Not only were Shimura Danzo and his clan wiped out, but they also died branded as traitors, forever nailed to the village's pillar of shame.

Ironically, the phrase Danzo often used—the innately evil Uchiha—was now affixed to his own clan.

The only word to describe this outcome was: Poetic justice.

Shisui and his comrades couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Without Mirai's leadership, the fate of the Uchiha Clan might not have been much better than that of the Shimura Clan.

"Damn it! Those damn Uchiha!"

Koharu Utatane slammed the newspaper onto the table, her face twisted in rage and disgust.

In just a few days, Sarutobi Hiruzen had been captured, Mitokado Homura killed, and the Shimura Clan annihilated…

Uchiha Mirai was more ruthless than Uchiha Madara had ever been!

Even Madara had never wiped out an entire clan.

But Mirai had done it.

Nearly five thousand people—erased in a single night!

The brutality, the madness, the sheer audacity—it was too much.

Unlike the isolated Madara, Mirai's actions were not only violent but calculated. He didn't just kill his enemies, he destroyed their legacy and reputation.

Danzo and the Shimura Clan didn't just die—they became objects of universal scorn, remembered only as traitors and villains.

Meanwhile, Mirai and the Uchiha Clan had been hailed as heroes, saviors who had cleansed Konoha of corruption.

The reversal of fortunes chilled Koharu to the bone.

A man with overwhelming strength, cunning that rivaled the Second Hokage, and a heart colder than ice…

Such an enemy was terrifying beyond words.

"What can I possibly do?"

Koharu paced back and forth, her mind racing.

She knew it was only a matter of time before Mirai came for her.

With the Sarutobi and Mitokado clans in disarray, they were destined to follow the Shimura Clan's path to ruin.

If she wanted to protect the Utatane Clan, she had to act—and quickly.

Koharu's eyes hardened with resolve. She opened the door and strode out.

If she had to die, she would do so on her own terms. She could surrender the Utatane Clan's wealth to Mirai, kneel before the village, and atone for her past sins…

She was willing to do anything to ensure her clan's survival.

[Name: Uchiha Mirai]

[Physique: 3623]

[Spiritual Power: 4102]

[Chakra: 3596]

[Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyō Sharingan, Magnet Release (Gold Sand), Scorch Release, Shikotsumyaku, Boil Release, Five Sense Manipulation, Wood Release]

[Ninjutsu: Triple Rashōmon, Body Flicker Technique, Wind Release: Void Cutting Wave...]

[Dōjutsu: Amaterasu, Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto, Takamagahara, Susanoo, Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto, Kotoamatsukami]

Looking at his system panel, Mirai's mood soared.

Eliminating enemies who had constantly sought his death and annihilating their entire clan had brought him indescribable benefits.

Could there be anything more satisfying?

"Once Hiruzen is dealt with, I'll look for a way to obtain Yang Release," Mirai mused.

"With Yang Release, my eyes should evolve directly into the Rinnegan…"

During his battle with Danzo, he had deliberately forced him to use Izanagi multiple times.

Yet despite ten attempts, he had failed to plunder Yang Release.

He suspected it could only be obtained from Hashirama Senju himself.

"I wonder if Edo Tensei Hashirama would suffice…"

Mirai muttered.

While an Edo Tensei ninja retained their powers, their body was ultimately a sacrifice.

If that didn't work, he'd have no choice but to resurrect Hashirama.

Lost in thought, Mirai suddenly stopped.

A figure appeared in front of him—Koharu Utatane.

"Uchiha Mirai," she began, "if you can just—"

She didn't get to finish. Her eyes glazed over, and her head flew from her shoulders.

Her body crumpled to the ground with a heavy thud.

"I wasn't even looking for her, and she came to me instead. How peculiar…"

Mirai muttered and continued walking toward the Uchiha compound.

A breeze swept by, drying the blood pooling around Koharu's lifeless body.

At her feet lay a few crushed ants—collateral victims of her final steps.
