"Hotaru Bi, since you don't wish to surrender quietly, then die."
Akaboshi coldly snorted, raising his hand to signal the Star Shinobi behind him to attack Hotaru Bi together.
However, just at that moment, Hotaru Bi suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground.
"Emperor-sama!"
Mirai Uchiha glanced at Ou and Sanren standing behind Hotaru Bi, merely nodding slightly.
Seeing Mirai Uchiha approaching calmly, Akaboshi's face revealed a hint of confusion.
"Who are you?!"
"The one here to take your life."
Upon hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, comprehension flashed across Akaboshi's face.
He let out a loud laugh toward the people behind him. "You all saw it, right? Hotaru Bi's gone and found herself a lover."
"No wonder she dared to return to the village alone; seems she got some backup."
"Too bad for Hotaru Bi—he probably just died not long ago."
Hearing Akaboshi's taunting words, Hotaru Bi—who was usually gentle and composed—became visibly furious.
Pointing at Akaboshi, she coldly spat, "You bastard, stop spouting nonsense!"
"The person beside me is the Emperor of the ninja world!"
"Emperor?" Akaboshi looked curiously at Mirai Uchiha for a moment, then scoffed, "Do you really think I'd fall for that easily?"
"Even if he really were the Emperor, this is Bee Country—it belongs to us Star Shinobi!"
Star Village had always been extremely isolated, indifferent to outside affairs. The very idea of overthrowing Bee Country's Daimyo came only after Konoha had sent envoys to contact them.
Therefore, they didn't know much about Mirai Uchiha, let alone feel any reverence for him.
These Star Shinobi knew only one thing—ten versus two, the advantage was clearly theirs!
Moreover...
They practiced Star-based cultivation, making their strength far superior to that of ordinary ninja.
If the opponent had brought a force much larger than theirs, they might have felt some fear.
But now, facing clearly just one man.
Even if he claimed to be the Emperor, how much stronger could he really be?
Thinking thus, Akaboshi sneered again. "Attack! Kill this man—Hotaru Bi still holds value; remember to capture her alive."
"Yes!"
At Akaboshi's command, the Star Shinobi activated [Kujaku], each now protected by a colorful chakra aura.
"This is the power of the 'Star'?"
"Such dense natural energy..."
Feeling the pressure from the Star Shinobi, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but feel inwardly pleased.
According to his memories, the Star Shinobi cultivated Kujaku through an alien meteor.
This also meant that on planets outside the ninja world, there might exist natural energy just like in the ninja world.
The concept of looting across the cosmos gained further validation.
"Die!"
The battle cries of the Star Shinobi snapped Mirai Uchiha back to attention.
Looking at the approaching Star Shinobi, a trace of disdain surfaced on Mirai Uchiha's face.
Having lived two lives had taught him one truth—reality was far stranger than imagination.
These guys who only lived within their own worlds could never understand what a true powerful expert really was.
Mirai Uchiha clapped his hands together, puffing out his chest.
[Sage Art: Fire Release – Great Fire Destruction!]
After assimilating the Dragon Veins and the Ten-Tails inside his body, all of Mirai Uchiha's chakra had transformed into Sage Chakra.
Enhanced by Sage Chakra, the Great Fire Destruction became hellfire capable of destroying heaven and earth.
That scorching heat and terrifying range made it several times more powerful than the version Madara Uchiha had used in the original story!
In the blink of an eye, all the Star Shinobi were engulfed by flames.
Regardless of strength or skill, they were incinerated without exception in an instant.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Master for successfully obtaining the reward: +1 Chakra!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Master for successfully obtaining the reward: +1 Spiritual Power!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Master for successfully obtaining the reward...]
Hearing the system notifications continually ringing out in his mind, Mirai Uchiha snorted lightly.
"I originally wanted to try out a few more jutsu, but now it seems unnecessary."
Watching the roaring flames ahead, Hokuto and Hoshizora Nikkichou helplessly collapsed onto the ground.
Even though they already knew Mirai Uchiha was extremely strong, witnessing his power firsthand still sent a deep shiver of dread through their souls.
"T-Terrifying... This is really the power of the Emperor who conquered the Five Great Nations?"
Hoshizora Nikkichou murmured.
Just one jutsu instantly killed dozens of shinobi from Hoshigakure...
Such power was simply too horrifying.
As for Hokuto, Sanren, and Ou, their reactions were even worse.
The most powerful jutsu they'd ever seen was the Kujaku practiced by Akaboshi Jonin.
But at best, Kujaku could only shatter a single boulder.
It couldn't be compared with this present force at all.
"Emperor, p-please stop! At this rate, the entire Daimyo's Estate will burn to the ground!"
Seeing the fire spreading wildly, Hoshizora Nikkichou spoke anxiously.
Mirai Uchiha's long hair swayed slightly in the breeze as he stood still, silently staring ahead.
"Burning something like this to ash is nothing worth mourning."
"Starting today, Bee Country shall become part of Shen Nation — a new era begins."
After Mirai Uchiha finished speaking, [Otsutsuki Teleportation] activated directly.
A pitch-black spatial portal appeared.
Immediately after, one ninja after another wearing Shen Nation forehead protectors emerged from the spatial portal.
The leaders wore robes embroidered with the Uchiha Clan symbol. Kneeling on the ground, they bowed to Mirai Uchiha: "Clan Leader Mirai!"
Although Shisui Uchiha currently held the position of Clan Leader, the older generation of Uchiha ninja still habitually addressed Mirai Uchiha as "Clan Leader" upon seeing him.
In their eyes, Mirai Uchiha would always be the savior who rescued the Uchiha Clan!
Only Mirai Uchiha was the true leader of the Uchiha Clan!
Looking at the familiar old faces, Mirai Uchiha lightly smiled and said, "Tetsuka Uchiha, it's been a while. You've become Fuku."
Slightly embarrassed, Tetsuka Uchiha explained, "I've been busy lately and neglected my training..."
Mirai Uchiha nodded slightly and calmly said, "Star Shinobi Village in Bee Country has already been destroyed by me. You lead some people to handle the remaining matters."
Excitement flickered across Tetsuka Uchiha's eyes as he solemnly replied, "Understood!"
After they left, Mirai Uchiha shifted his gaze toward Hoshizora Nikkichou and the others.
They all stood there, dumbfounded, mouths agape in shock.
They couldn't imagine that such a space ninjutsu technique actually existed—one capable of instantly transporting someone from thousands of miles away!
This must be the power only a god could possess!
