Chapter 54: Ay? One Punch!

Puff!

With a single stab, a blade pierced through the heart of a Cloud Ninja, and once again, the voice of the system echoed in Uchiha Mirai's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully claiming the reward: Physique +1!]

With a thought, a translucent, sky-blue panel appeared in front of Uchiha Mirai's eyes.

[Name: Uchiha Mirai]

[Physique: 515]

[Mental Strength: 462]

[Chakra: 461]

[…]

Looking at his stats on the panel, Mirai couldn't help but smile with excitement.

In just one night, his attributes had skyrocketed by nearly six hundred points.

His physical strength had already surpassed five hundred.

The surge in power left Mirai feeling slightly dazed. He even had the strange illusion that he could destroy the entire ninja world with a single punch.

Aside from that, he could feel that his three-tomoe Sharingan had undergone a significant change.

The soreness and numbness had been persistent for a while, but his ocular power had also experienced a massive boost.

Mirai had a strong feeling that it wouldn't be long before his Sharingan would evolve again.

He knew well that once his three-tomoe Sharingan evolved, it would become the Mangekyō Sharingan!

Just thinking about the strange and powerful eye techniques of the Mangekyō Sharingan made Mirai yearn for them.

Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Kamui, Kagutsuchi....

What kind of techniques would he gain if he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?

As for chakra, he didn't even need to worry. Even if he wanted to take the "human walking machine gun" approach, there would be no concern about chakra running out.

Thinking about the "human walking machine gun" idea, Mirai rubbed his nose.

With his current ninja techniques, even a renowned "masters" from the original series wouldn't compare to him.

If he chose the route of constantly bombarding enemies with ninjutsu, it wouldn't really be a problem.

But after a moment's thought, Mirai decisively abandoned this idea.

If he kept releasing ninjutsu like that, his hands would probably be ruined in no time.

Unless he could do it like Hashirama Senju, "summoning whatever he needed"—otherwise, he wasn't going to try that kind of battle style.

"This kind of large-scale battlefield is definitely the most suitable for me," Mirai muttered to himself after feeling the rewards of the night.

"However... after this, I'll probably need to rest for a while to adjust my mindset and adapt to this sudden surge in power."

Although his system was a killing-type external tool, Uchiha Mirai didn't want to become a heartless killing machine.

If he didn't adjust his mindset after taking so many lives, he feared he might become so cold that he'd see himself as something different from other people.

Even if the entire ninja world knelt at his feet, he probably wouldn't feel much enjoyment.

This wasn't about being overly merciful, as a human, if one lost their emotions, what would be the difference between them and the living dead?

Just then, a sonic boom sounded, followed by an angry voice from behind:

"Damn Konoha brat, I'll kill you!"

Ay shot forward like a blue lightning bolt, appearing in front of Mirai in an instant.

He raised his muscular arm, clenched his fist, and swung it at Mirai!

With a superhuman burst of speed, Ay's attack was infused with both speed and power, creating a thunderous impact that was devastating.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion echoed, and the powerful shockwave spread in all directions.

The ground trembled, and dust flew up.

But the next moment, to everyone's shock, Ay's body was sent flying backward like a cannonball, carving a nearly kilometer-long trench in the earth.

"Wh-What's going on? Lord Ay was actually sent flying!"

"Are you kidding me? Lord Ay's punch could even send the Eight-Tails flying, how could he be knocked back?"

"I must be under a genjutsu—there's no way that skinny Konoha brat could do this!"

The Cloud Ninjas exclaimed in disbelief.

As the son of the Third Raikage, Ay's strength was well-known to them.

Back when the Eight-Tails rampaged, Ay had been able to withstand the beast's power with nothing but his own body.

Now, after unleashing such a devastating attack, how could he have been knocked back so easily?

How could such a freakish person even exist in this world?

Unlike the Cloud Ninjas, the Konoha ninjas were overjoyed.

At first, when they saw Ay charging at Uchiha Mirai like lightning, they were all on edge, fearing that such a talented ninja would fall here.

But no one had expected Ay to be knocked back with the same speed he had used to charge forward.

This sudden reversal stunned many of the Konoha ninjas, but they couldn't help but smile.

"Hahahaha… This is hilarious! That guy from the Cloud Village was so determined to pick a fight with Uchiha Mirai, and I actually thought he was strong."

"You idiot, Ay's the son of the Third Raikage and the candidate for the Fourth Raikage. His physical abilities are practically on par with a tailed beast! You really thought he was weak?"

"Ay's so strong? Then how did Uchiha Mirai manage to do that?"

"Who knows, maybe he's stronger than Ay?"

Gulp...

The Konoha ninjas exchanged looks and couldn't help but swallow nervously.

"Now that I think about it, Mirai managed to scare those brainless Cloud Ninjas into fleeing for their lives—he really is terrifying."

"Yeah, thinking back, we won so easily today… It was all because of him."

"That's right, thank goodness he's on our side. If he were on the other team, I can't even imagine how things would've turned out."

As everyone discussed, Ay struggled to rise from the ground, snapping his dislocated arm back into place with a loud crack.

His face was dark, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his physical abilities had reached an extraordinarily terrifying level.

He knew just how powerful his previous attack had been.

To put it bluntly, even Orochimaru would be pulverized if he tried to take that punch head-on.

But just now, that Konoha brat had sent him flying with a single punch.

The most shocking part was that Ay could tell that the brat hadn't used any secret techniques—he had relied solely on his raw physical strength!

How could anyone in this world possess such absurd physical strength?

Was the other person some kind of monster?!

"Even if you're a monster, you'll pay for killing so many of our village's ninjas!"

"Full power Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"

Ay's body was covered in lightning, and his hair stood on end.

In the next second, he transformed into a bolt of lightning again, fist clenched as he charged towards Mirai.
