Mirai Uchiha instantly killed Daishan, a Sunagakure jonin, shocking both Rasa and Baki.
A child who looked no older than thirteen suddenly possessed such immense strength!
Even though the opponent clearly used a secret technique, achieving this level of power alone proved their terrifying might.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! Successfully acquired reward: Wind Release: Pressure Damage!]
After killing one of Sunagakure's jonin, Mirai Uchiha wasted no time and charged directly toward Baki.
"Wind Release: Blade of Wind!"
Facing Baki's counterattack, Mirai Uchiha quickly formed hand seals. "Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
Countless wind blades collided mid-air, their devastating cutting power reducing everything within range to dust.
"Baki, fall back quickly!"
Rasa arrived just then.
He had no fear facing this opponent head-on, but after using that secret art, their speed became too much to handle.
If Baki continued chasing those two Konoha ninjas who had escaped earlier, his fate would likely be no better than Daishan's.
Techniques that temporarily boost physical strength like this couldn't possibly last long.
Just hold out until the technique faded, then things would become simple.
"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"
Seeing Rasa approach, Mirai Uchiha formed hand seals again.
Billowing clouds of scorching-hot smoke spewed from Mirai Uchiha's mouth, instantly obscuring all vision ahead.
[Wind Release: Typhoon Passes Through!]
Faced with the massive wave of scorching smoke, Baki and Rasa became temporarily separated.
He formed hand seals rapidly, attempting to disperse the smoke with Wind Release.
Once reunited with Rasa, he wouldn't need to worry about his own safety anymore.
At that moment, a kunai shot out from the smoke. Baki kept both hands moving but simply tilted his head slightly.
As a jonin, if he couldn't even dodge such a basic attack, he might as well die from embarrassment.
Thunk!
Feeling intense pain in his chest, Baki looked down in disbelief, finding a long katana gleaming coldly as it pierced straight through his heart.
How was this possible?!
Baki's eyes widened in horror.
Wasn't that brat still dozens of meters away?
Why did he suddenly appear behind him?
Boom!
With overwhelming unwillingness and confusion, Baki's body crashed heavily onto the ground.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! Successfully acquired reward: Wind Release: Typhoon Passes Through!]
Silently, Mirai Uchiha retrieved the kunai bearing the Flying Thunder God marking. This was his ultimate trump card—better not reveal it at this stage.
A strong gust of wind blew past, dispersing the hot smoke.
Seeing Baki lying on the ground, lifeless, Rasa was both shocked and furious.
Baki had been an outstanding Jonin under his command, with a bright future potentially as an elite Jonin—but now he lay dead here...
Having lost two Jonin in succession, Rasa felt as if his heart was bleeding.
Yet beneath his anger, Rasa's mind churned with shock.
To kill two Jonin so effortlessly within such a short time—could this brat really have reached the level of an S-rank ninja?
"Chidori!"
A flash of lightning streaked through the air. In an instant, Mirai Uchiha stood directly before Rasa.
Boom!
The Chidori left a hole in the thick layer of gold dust, but caused no real harm to Rasa.
Since the attack failed to land effectively, Mirai Uchiha began launching continuous assaults from multiple angles, hoping to find an opening like how Rock Lee did against Gaara during the Chunin Exams by using extreme speed.
But the current Rasa was clearly not someone comparable to the Gaara back then during the Chunin Exams.
Rasa was like a turtle with absolutely no weak points—none of Mirai Uchiha's attacks were able to make any impact.
"Triple-Comma Sharingan... So you're a brat from the Uchiha Clan!"
Seeing the vivid red Sharingan eyes with three tomoe marks, excitement reappeared across Rasa's face.
Such a talented teenager, possessing the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha Clan.
If he could bring back the corpse of this opponent, the loss of two Jonin subordinates would be utterly insignificant.
[Magnet Release: Golden Sand Surge!]
Countless grains of gold dust surged toward Mirai Uchiha like a tidal wave, forcing him to leap backward swiftly.
Watching the gold dust increasing endlessly, eventually covering an area hundreds of meters wide, Mirai Uchiha's gaze turned icy cold.
At this point, he was nearly at his limit.
Not to mention the side effects from the Eight Gates itself, his chakra reserves were practically depleted.
Indeed...
An S-rank ninja and an ordinary shinobi simply didn't belong to the same category.
He could instantly defeat Jonin-level warriors like Baki, yet faced with someone like Rasa—an S-rank powerhouse—he could barely even scratch him.
[Magnet Release: Gold Dust Cage!]
Within the hundred-meter radius, the golden sand formed a massive protective barrier. Inside it, countless sharp, spike-like lances of gold dust took shape.
As the available space for evasion shrank rapidly, Mirai Uchiha exhaled deeply.
Against such densely packed barrier attacks, avoiding them all would require the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Just as he was about to act, a three-pronged kunai landed at his feet. Then, a golden figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Mirai, I'm a little late."
A gentle voice echoed as Minato Namikaze took hold of Mirai Uchiha, once again vanishing from Rasa's attack range using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Seeing Minato Namikaze and Shizuka Yuhi nearby, Mirai Uchiha finally relaxed his expression.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! Successfully acquired reward: Magnet Release-Gold Dust Kekkei Genkai!]
Feeling the flood of information surging into his mind, Mirai Uchiha knew he was now safe and no longer forced himself to stay conscious. He closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
...
"Hiss!"
Mirai Uchiha opened his eyes. The instant pain made him grimace.
The aftereffects of the Eight Gates were even worse than he had imagined. Right now, his body felt like it was about to crumble apart entirely.
"Mirai, you're awake!"
Upon hearing his voice, Kurenai Yuhi's face immediately lit up with happiness.
"Kurenai, how long have I been unconscious?"
"About a whole day."
Kurenai's eyes slightly reddened. "Mirai, are you okay now?"
Feeling her concern, Mirai smiled. "I'm fine, just thirsty."
"I'll get you some water."
Kurenai hurried to pour a glass of warm water from the table. Carefully, she helped Mirai sit up and personally fed him the water by hand.
"Mirai, you really scared me."
"I thought I might never see you again."
Kurenai spoke with lingering fear.
That day when she and Asuma Sarutobi went to the camp for help, after briefly describing what had happened, she saw Nara Shikaku, Minato Namikaze, and Shizuka Yuhi all instantly turn pale with worry.
Only on their way did they learn that Rasa was Sunagakure's strongest young generation warrior—not only had he reached S-rank ninja strength, but he also possessed the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai.
He was a powerhouse rivaling the Kage of various villages!
There were also two jonin-level Suna ninja accompanying him.
Although Minato and the others rushed toward where Mirai had been attacked without hesitation, everyone's heart was filled with worry.
Though they knew Mirai was strong, facing such an enemy... there was little chance he'd make it out alive.
