Chapter 151: Next Steps

Ignoring Koharu Utatane's interruption, Mirai Uchiha returned to the clan compound.

Inside the house, a table was set with exquisite food.

Mikoto Uchiha and Yakumo Kurama were nowhere in the room. Only Konan, wrapped in a bathrobe, knelt by the table with her head bowed.

"Konan, why are you alone?"

"Where are Mikoto and Yakumo?"

Upon hearing Mirai's words, Konan's skin flushed red from her ears all the way down her neck.

After a moment's pause, she softly murmured like a mosquito, "Yakumo said she wanted to get some canvases and dragged Mikoto to Rimihill Manor together."

Mirai slowly sat beside Konan, completely ignoring the feast before him, and gently asked, "Taken a bath yet?"

Hearing such heavily suggestive words, Konan felt even her breathing became difficult. "Mirai, let's eat first."

Mirai chuckled softly, shaking his head. "I've already had my fill the moment I saw you."

Konan stared, "Eh? Why?"

Mirai smiled. "Because your beauty is feast enough for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Konan let out a startled cry when Mirai suddenly scooped her up in his arms. "I've already eliminated Danzo Shimura..."

Instantly understanding what Mirai meant, Konan buried her face into his chest, playing the ostrich without hesitation.

She couldn't believe that Danzo Shimura, as an advisor to the Hokage, had been eliminated so easily...

———

The next day.

Mirai watched silently as Konan continued sleeping soundly before getting up and dressing himself.

He arrived alone at Hokage Tower, where Shisui Uchiha, Yashiro Uchiha, Shikaku Nara, and others were already waiting.

Ever since he locked away Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mirai had gradually shifted his workplace to the Hokage's Office.

When Mirai walked in, Shisui and the others immediately stood respectfully.

Their excitement and exhilaration were clearly evident on their faces.

Who would have imagined that since Konoha's founding, this was the first time members of the Uchiha Clan got to hold discussions inside Hokage Tower!

"Report the current situation," Mirai said tonelessly.

Yashiro Uchiha replied promptly, "Most ninja from the Shimura Clan have already disappeared without a trace. However, according to records within the village, some Root ninja are still performing espionage missions outside. We've already sent people to eliminate them."

"The police squad completed its restructuring as well. The lower ranks absorbed many relatively outstanding ordinary ninja. The middle ranks are mostly filled by elite ninja from various clans. And the core power structure still remains firmly under our Uchiha Clan's control."

"Also... some elders wish to convene a clan assembly to discuss the Uchiha Clan's next course of action."

After listening to Yashiro Uchiwa's report, Mirai Uchiha remained silent in thought for a moment before slowly speaking. "Yashiro, you will oversee the transfer of the Shimura Clan's assets. Distribute twenty percent of them to the ninja clans that support us, and use the remainder entirely to improve the living conditions of our clan members."

"Leak some scandals involving the Mito Gate Clan and the Tenkin Clan through the newspapers. When the timing is right, I'll personally ensure their disappearance from the village."

"As for the clan meetings… I will personally manage all affairs related to the Uchiha Clan. There is absolutely no need for discussion."

"Yes!"

The faces of Yashiro and the others showed expressions of deep reverence.

To casually wipe out an entire clan—could it be said that this was just the nature of Captain Mirai Uchiha?

They'd always thought they were pretty radical themselves, but compared to Captain Mirai, they now realized they were as cautious as freshly promoted genin.

"Shisui, tell me about Itachi's recent condition."

Hearing Mirai's question, Shisui Uchiha smiled slightly and said, "That kid, Itachi, has completely changed."

"He hasn't even turned seven yet, but his current strength is already enough to surpass average genin."

"He has also activated his Sharingan. He's a child with tremendous talent. With proper guidance, I believe he will surely one day awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"Just that this Itachi kid deeply admires you—he asks me every day to introduce him to you…"

Right now, Shisui had even more admiration for Mirai Uchiha.

In his heart, the captain chose not to eliminate Itachi—Fugaku Uchiha's son—as many would have expected, but instead immediately recognized his potential.

With a leader possessing such vision, how could the Uchiha Clan fail to prosper?

Upon hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Mirai Uchiha's face. "Shisui, you must teach and guide Itachi well. Don't let him be blinded by Hiruzen Sarutobi's so-called 'Will of Fire.'"

"As for meeting him, I'll make time to meet with him myself."

"Yes!"

As for Itachi's changes, Mirai Uchiha wasn't surprised at all.

After having his will altered by [Kotoamatsukami] and spending every day with Shisui—a member of the radical faction—it would only be natural that he wouldn't develop the same way he did in the original timeline.

After discussing related matters of the Uchiha Clan with both men, Mirai Uchiha waved his hand, allowing Shisui Uchiha and Yashiro Uchiha to leave the Hokage's office.

Then, Mirai Uchiha turned his gaze toward Shikaku Nara.

"Shikaku, sorry to keep you waiting."

Shikaku trembled slightly, offering a faint wry smile. "Lord Mirai, please don't be so courteous. You are Konoha's future Hokage. Please, give any orders you wish."

When he had just heard Mirai Uchiha speak so nonchalantly about erasing the Tenkin Clan and Mito Gate Clan from the ninja world, regret began to creep into his mind.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were far from virtuous themselves, even they wouldn't dare act too openly when carrying out their schemes.

But Mirai Uchiha was completely different—a dangerously reckless person who acted entirely on impulse, disregarding any consequences.

What made matters worse was that she had both the power to back up her ambitions and a group of fiercely loyal followers.

Considering these two factors together, in Shikaku Nara's eyes, Mirai Uchiha had proven far more dangerous than anyone else.

What's more, he had clearly heard it before—that boy, Itachi Uchiha, seemed highly likely to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

With such legendary eyes emerging one after another—perhaps fate had finally decided to side with the Uchiha clan this time.

In Shikaku Nara's view, they absolutely must not provoke Mirai Uchiha in the future.

He certainly didn't want the Nara clan to suffer the same fate as the Shimura clan—vanishing overnight from the ninja world.

Unaware of Shikaku Nara's inner turmoil, Mirai Uchiha glanced at the calendar on the desk and said calmly, "Shikaku, isn't it nearly time for the Chunin Exams?"
