The following day.
After finishing breakfast, Mirai Uchiha was just about to head out fishing when a voice called out loudly from outside his door.
"Uncle Mirai, are you home?"
Seeing Naruto Uzumaki brought in by Kushina Uzumaki, Mirai Uchiha raised an eyebrow and asked, "Naruto, what brings you here?"
Naruto Uzumaki grinned. "Uncle Mirai, did you help him awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
"I heard his Mangekyo Sharingan can evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Mirai Uchiha nodded. "That's right."
"Uncle Mirai, could you teach me something too? Otherwise Sasuke will definitely mock me if he gets ahead."
As for Naruto Uzumaki's thoughts, Mirai Uchiha had already predicted them.
He and Sasuke Uchiha separately possessed the reincarnated chakra of Asura Otsutsuki and Indra Otsutsuki. Having competed for thousands of years, neither wanted to let the other get ahead.
Mirai Uchiha looked toward Kushina Uzumaki standing beside them and calmly asked, "Kushina, the forbidden techniques I teach are extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want Naruto to learn them?"
Kushina Uzumaki waved a hand dismissively. "He's growing up. I don't want to meddle too much."
"I came here today to do some shopping with Mikoto."
Hearing this, Mirai Uchiha chuckled and shook his head. "Kushina, shopping won't happen today—Mikoto's been really busy lately."
Curious, Kushina Uzumaki asked, "Isn't being a housewife all about eating, drinking, and relaxing all day?"
"What could she possibly be busy with?"
Mirai explained, "Recently, I've been preparing everyone at home to learn Tsunade's Yin Seal technique."
"You should know too, given my current power level, longevity is no longer an issue for me."
Since the Yin Seal preserves youth, Mirai Uchiha didn't want to watch her age before his eyes.
"The Yin Seal?" Kushina Uzumaki looked slightly surprised. "Shouldn't it require an especially strong physique?"
She had lived with Mito Uzumaki as a child and was quite familiar with the Yin Seal.
Learning the Yin Seal required an extremely demanding physical condition.
Moreover...
Although the Yin Seal preserved youth, it couldn't increase the number of cell divisions.
In other words, once cells have reached their maximum division count, people will still die.
Seeing the confusion on Kushina Uzumaki's face, Mirai Uchiha calmly replied, "Based on existing genetic technology combined with my Yang Release chakra, achieving true immortality isn't particularly difficult anymore."
With his full support, Orochimaru had long since broken through the barriers of immortality.
If Mirai Uchiha so desired, he could make anyone live forever.
"Kushina Uzumaki, would you like to join them too?"
Before Mirai Uchiha came into his full potential, Kushina Uzumaki had given him a lot of help.
It was just a minor effort. If Kushina were willing, he could also help her achieve Immortality.
Kushina Uzumaki quickly shook her head: "Still, no thanks. I have no interest in things like that."
"If Mikoto didn't have time, then I'll be on my way now."
Looking at Kushina Uzumaki's retreating figure, Mirai Uchiha turned his gaze toward Naruto Uzumaki.
"Come on, today I happen to be teaching Hinata and the others some new ninjutsu, so you can join us."
---
For the next half month, Mirai Uchiha taught Hyūga Hinata, Yamanaka Ino, Kurotsuchi, and the others new ninjutsu every day.
As for Naruto Uzumaki, Mirai directly passed on the [Wind Release: Rasenshuriken].
After all, with his thick skin and tough body, there was no need to worry about physical injuries.
This kind of life was simple and uneventful, but it wasn't bad at all—at least Mirai really enjoyed it.
In his previous life, the fast-paced lifestyle had made him impatient about everything; there were very few things he could tolerate.
But after slowing down his pace of life, Mirai realized that interesting moments could actually be found everywhere in daily life.
Evening.
When Mirai Uchiha saw that the time was nearly right, he began preparing to take Hinata and the others out for ramen noodles.
However, an Anbu ninja suddenly appeared before him.
"Mirai-sama, recently in the ninja world several Kekkei Genkai ninja have gone missing."
"Following your instructions, our investigation suggests these disappearances are connected to a short-statured individual."
Upon hearing the Anbu's report, Mirai raised his eyebrows slightly.
Back then, to facilitate searching for scientific talents from the original story, he had provided brief descriptions of many people's characteristics.
One of those descriptions matched Shimon Hiruko.
Mirai had previously ordered that any cases involving Kekkei Genkai ninja disappearing should be linked together for investigation.
He hadn't anticipated actual results so soon.
Taking the file from the Anbu, Mirai briefly scanned through it.
He already felt certain—the mastermind behind these incidents was none other than Shimon Hiruko, the person he'd been seeking all along.
"I understand the situation now. You may go first."
"Yes!"
After the Anbu left, Hyūga Hinata and the others immediately asked excitedly, "Future-sensei, is there a new mission?"
They had clearly overheard—their conversation mentioned someone targeting Kekkei Genkai ninja.
If they could capture such a dangerous individual, they might earn another chance for recognition.
"This individual is quite special. I'll handle this personally. If you want to take on missions, just go to the mission hall yourselves."
After Mirai Uchiha finished speaking, he vanished from the spot.
Shimon Hiruko had developed the Chimera Technique under extremely harsh conditions, which was enough proof of his talent.
If he could be brought into his ranks, his scientific research team would definitely become even stronger.
Inside a dark and damp cave, a man wrapped entirely in bandages had his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Around him stood four massive stone pillars.
Each pillar had a ninja bound to it, all of them already unconscious.
"Swift Release, Steel Release, Storm Release, Yin Release..."
"Finally, I have gathered all four Kekkei Genkai!"
Shimon Hiruko murmured quietly.
Though capturing the final Kekkei Genkai wielder had caused a minor commotion—one that might have exposed his location—it no longer mattered.
Today, he would use the Chimera Technique to merge these four bloodline limits into one body.
Then, no one in this world would stand against him.
He would personally confront Orochimaru himself and prove that talent meant nothing.
Even without natural talent in Ninjutsu, he would prove himself equal to any other ninja!
Thinking of this, Shimon Hiruko raised his head, gazing toward the skyward opening of the cave.
Just a little longer—once the sun is completely engulfed, I can begin my ritual.
As Shimon Hiruko waited silently, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Shimon Hiruko, right?"
"I've finally found you."
