Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Grand Rasenshuriken



The wind gently rustled Uchiha Mirai's black hair as he stood, facing the ever-serious Pakura.

With a lowered gaze and a calm voice, he said, "Not long ago, Sunagakure attacked Konoha. It's time you paid the price."

Pakura clenched her teeth and retorted, "You've already killed three thousand of our shinobi. What more do you want?"

Uchiha Mirai let out a disdainful chuckle.

"Their deaths were the result of their own choices. The defeated have no right to negotiate."

At his words, Pakura fell silent.

After a long pause, she finally spoke again. "Then tell me, what is it you want?"

Mirai's voice was cold as he declared, "To prevent another war between Sunagakure and Konoha, Sunagakure must submit to me from this moment forward."

His words caused an immediate uproar among the Sunagakure shinobi.

"What? He wants us to submit? Dream on!"

"We'll never agree to this—he's insane!"

"You arrogant bastard, thinking you can demand such a thing. Do you really believe we're afraid of you?"

The outrage was expected, and Mirai simply hovered in the air, allowing the shouting to subside before speaking again.

"If you refuse to submit, then you'll face the consequences. When Sunagakure lies in ruins, don't regret the decision you made today."

He raised his arm, palm open, and a black sphere of chakra materialized in his hand.

The sphere was surrounded by a glowing white ring, radiating an oppressive energy that quickly spread throughout the battlefield.

Combined with Yin-Yang Release, the wind chakra compressed to its limit, sending waves of unease rippling through the Sunagakure shinobi.

"This power… it's terrifying!"

"My body feels weak, like I can't move a muscle."

"That chakra sphere—its energy is even more fearsome than the Tailed Beast Bomb Shukaku once unleashed!"

"I can't breathe. This pressure… I've never felt anything like it."

The shinobi paled, their lips dry as fear gripped them.

Mirai floated above, silhouetted against the blazing sun, his chakra sphere radiating destruction. Some of the more perceptive sensor-nin trembled uncontrollably and collapsed to their knees.

They knew.

They would die.

If that chakra sphere exploded, nothing would remain.

"I am a god!" Mirai's voice echoed. "For those who defy the divine, this is my parting gift. Have you prepared yourselves for death?"

Even Pakura, who had agreed to play her part in the act, felt a pang of genuine fear.

"Fourth Hokage! I accept your terms!" she shouted. "Sunagakure will submit to you!"

Her declaration sent shockwaves through the crowd. A few braver, or perhaps more reckless, shinobi shouted back in defiance.

"Pakura-sama! You've betrayed the village! You're a disgrace to Sunagakure!"

Pakura responded instantly, her Scorch Release activating. In mere moments, the defiant shinobi were reduced to charred husks.

"During the Third Shinobi War, we were defiant, and it cost us over ten thousand lives," she said, her voice steady and cold. "When the daimyo ordered us to attack Konoha, we resisted—and we lost three thousand more elite shinobi."

"Now, the village is on the brink of collapse. Even the neighboring minor nations are testing our borders. Have you learned nothing? I am doing this to save Sunagakure!"

Her words silenced the crowd. Under the overwhelming pressure of Mirai's power, the remaining shinobi lowered their heads.

Sometimes, silence meant surrender.

Seeing her goal achieved, Pakura turned to Mirai and called out, "Fourth Hokage, we agree to your terms. Please, let us discuss the details at the Kazekage's Office."

Her urgency was palpable—she was genuinely terrified that Mirai might unleash the devastating chakra sphere on the village.

Mirai snorted coldly, "What a disappointment…"

"You should be grateful for this second chance at life," he said, casually tossing the Grand Rasenshuriken into the distant desert.

The black sphere disappeared over the horizon, followed by a blinding explosion.

The resulting light was so intense that it outshone the desert sun, and the ensuing shockwave kicked up an enormous sandstorm, scouring the sky until it was utterly clear.

The ground trembled violently, and the Sunagakure shinobi were knocked off their feet.

Witnessing the sheer destructive power, a heavy silence fell. Slowly, a sense of relief crept over them—relief that they were still alive.

"If that had hit the village, we'd all be dead…"

"This power surpasses a Tailed Beast Bomb… Is he even human?"

"Against strength like that, all our defenses are meaningless."

"In the face of such overwhelming power, numbers are irrelevant."

They couldn't help but feel awe, fear, and gratitude—all mingling into an unsettling mix.

...

Kazekage's Office

Pakura clutched her chest, still shaken.

"Mirai, you scared me half to death back there! If that chakra sphere had gone off accidentally, Sunagakure would've been destroyed!"

Mirai, now seated nonchalantly in the Kazekage's chair, simply said, "Tea."

"Oh! Of course." Pakura hurriedly poured him a cup, her hands trembling slightly.

"Mirai," she began hesitantly, "what happened today was… drastic. I'm worried the villagers will still resist our policies after this."

Taking a sip of tea, Mirai replied casually, "Under absolute power, thoughts of revenge fade quickly. Besides, submitting to me won't harm Sunagakure—it's to your benefit."

"Economic aid, resource exchange, cultural integration, educational reform… In time, they'll embrace this change willingly."

Pakura nodded slowly, not entirely understanding, but confident in one thing:

Uchiha Mirai had never failed in what he set out to do.

So, all she needed to do was follow his lead.

With that thought, Pakura leaned into Mirai's chest, her earlier fear giving way to a sense of security.

If anyone else saw Pakura acting so demure, they would undoubtedly be stunned.
