Chapter 155: Hokage Tower

Hokage Tower — Hokage's Office.

Mirai Uchiha sat behind the desk, casually unrolling a scroll on the table.

The first document was about the annihilation of the Mito Gate Clan and the Tenkin Clan.

As he had expected, during this time, after being sensationalized by newspapers and rumors, the reputations of both the Mito Gate and Tenkin Clans had been completely destroyed in public perception.

In the eyes of Konoha's citizens, these two clans were as guilty as the Shimura Clan—evil families who occupied most of the village's wealth yet contributed nothing to it.

Under normal circumstances, they behaved with arrogance, but whenever war approached, their ninja retreated to the rear lines.

The fact that few names from either the Mito Gate or the Tenkin appeared on the Memorial Stone was the clearest evidence.

Given this situation, when villagers learned about the destruction of the Mito Gate and the Tenkin Clans, no one felt sorrow—everyone celebrated.

At the same time, people also noticed that during Third Hokage's convalescence, the village had kept improving significantly, managing to eliminate three major corrupt elements in such a short period.

Some even openly suggested that the Third Hokage should remain in retirement permanently. It was time for older generations to learn to pass power to the younger generation.

Regarding this, Mirai Uchiha merely snorted coldly.

His goal was far greater than simply forcing Hiruzen Sarutobi into retirement.

"Interface!"

With a thought, his character attributes interface appeared.

[Name: Mirai Uchiha]

[Physique: 4417]

[Spiritual Power: 4703]

[Chakra: 4323]

[Bloodline Limits: Mangekyo Sharingan! Magnet Release: Gold Dust! Scorch Release! Shikotsumyaku (Dead-Bone Pulse)! Boil Release! Genjutsu – The Art of Sensory Control! Byakugan!]

[Ninjutsu: ... Lightning Release: Chidori! Flying Thunder God Technique! Wind Release: Pressure Damage! Lightning Blade Technique: Falling Thunder! Ninjutsu: Hiding in Mist Technique! Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!]

[Dojutsu: Amaterasu! Sarutahiko-no-Kami! Ame-no-Koyane-no-Kami! Susanoo! Tsukiyo-himuka! Kotoamatsukami!]

Looking at his attribute values—now all exceeding four thousand—Mirai Uchiha felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

Although compared to the Shimura Clan, the Tenkin and Mito Gate Clans each had significantly fewer members.

Combined, however, they still totaled over two thousand individuals.

Transforming all those lives into his own attribute points, Mirai Uchiha felt no guilt whatsoever.

He and the Tenkin and Mito Gate Clans were locked in a deadly feud—one side had to perish.

If he hadn't possessed his current power, he would have been the one to die instead.

As for those ordinary clan members who were not even ninja...

Since they had enjoyed the benefits brought by the clan during its prosperity, they should also bear the disasters that came with its decline.

Moreover, the connections between ninja and commoners within the same clan were countless.

Eradicating them completely—Mirai Uchiha never liked leaving potential threats behind,

even if those people had no possibility of ever affecting him.

"With my current power, I should have surpassed Hashirama Senju, right?"

Mirai Uchiha murmured thoughtfully.

There was a time when he had felt immense pressure from figures like Hiruzen Sarutobi,

but now, he had already trampled them all beneath his feet.

The Shimura Clan, the Tenkin Clan, the Mito Gate Clan—all had been annihilated...

All one could say was: cheating gives you a rush at first—but if you keep cheating, the rush never stops.

Just as Mirai Uchiha was lost in random thoughts, the door to the Hokage's office swung open.

Shikaku Nara then stepped inside.

"Mirai-sama."

"Ah, Shikaku. What's up?"

Shikaku placed a scroll on the desk and spoke slowly, "According to our investigation, there's currently an orphanage in Konoha funded by Root organization. It houses orphans gathered from various countries."

"The orphanage is indeed connected with Root, but according to our findings, these are truly just innocent children who know nothing."

"Mirai-sama, shall we shut down this orphanage?"

Mirai slightly lifted his eyebrows and shook his head, declining, "I'll go see it in person first."

Upon hearing this, Shikaku showed slight surprise.

Before coming here, he had already mentally prepared himself for Mirai's possible decision to slaughter everyone in the orphanage,

yet he hadn't expected the other to actually be willing to spend time checking it out personally...

Even though he always had full confidence in his own intelligence, facing Mirai Uchiha still gave Shikaku a strong sense of frustration.

He couldn't fathom the other's thoughts at all.

Without paying attention to Shikaku's thoughts, Mirai directly activated [Shifting Body Technique] and arrived at the location of the orphanage.

If he wasn't mistaken, someone extremely remarkable had appeared within this orphanage funded by Root...

As soon as he walked into the orphanage grounds, cheerful noises reached his ears.

Looking at the children running across the grassy field, Mirai felt somewhat surprised.

In this era, letting orphans display such expressions of happiness wasn't easy at all.

Slowly walking closer to the orphanage, the orphans also noticed Mirai.

They immediately stopped their playful commotion, and several older orphans turned around and ran straight back into the building.

Soon, a woman wearing a long black robe, a white hood covering her head, and large glasses with thick black frames quickly stepped out.

The moment she saw Mirai Uchiha, the woman's face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with terror.

"Y-You're... M-Mirai Uchiha-sama!"

"You are Nonou Yakushi," Mirai Uchiha said calmly. "The director of this orphanage?"

Nonou Yakushi nervously nodded. "Yes, I apologize for not coming out to greet you."

The children nearby looked absolutely thrilled as they listened to the conversation.

They had all heard many stories about Mirai Uchiha.

This was the most powerful ninja in the shinobi world today—a hero who saved Konoha from war's devastation!

Who could have imagined that such a formidable figure would actually visit their orphanage?

Seeing the excited children, Nonou approached Mirai quietly and whispered, "Mirai-sama, this isn't the right place to talk. Please come inside and have a seat."

Mirai gave a slight nod. "Lead the way."

"Please all go back to your rooms," Nonou said to the children gently, "and don't go outside without permission." Then she smiled and walked ahead. "Mirai-sama, please follow me."

Once they were inside, the orphans buzzed with excitement as they scattered across the courtyard.

Among them, a boy with short silver hair wore a worried expression.

Just now, Director Nonou looked pretty uneasy—could this ninja, Mirai Uchiha, be here to cause trouble again?
