"Kara Organization?"
"Otsutsuki Isshiki?"
Upon hearing Mirai's command, everyone present was baffled.
Wasn't Otsutsuki Isshiki already sacrificed by Otsutsuki Kaguya to feed the Divine Tree?
Why would they need to investigate him?
And… what was this Kara Organization?
No one had ever heard of it before.
Seeing their confusion, Mirai explained, "Back then, Otsutsuki Kaguya ambushed Otsutsuki Isshiki and severely wounded him."
"However, while being fed to the Divine Tree, Isshiki managed to use his dojutsu to escape with only his upper body."
"After that, he found a monk named Jigen and used his body as a vessel to survive until now, eventually founding an organization called Kara."
"Their goal is to find a suitable vessel for Isshiki's resurrection and reclaim all the chakra from this world."
Pakura muttered in disbelief, "He survived with just his upper body?"
"The Otsutsuki Clan's vitality is truly monstrous."
Mei Terumi nodded in agreement. "Seriously. Even after being wounded that badly, he still managed to live until now. This clan is really something else."
The mere thought of potentially battling more members of the Otsutsuki Clan in the future made the atmosphere heavy.
Sensing this, Mirai smiled. "No need to be so anxious."
"Who knows? One day, I might even lead you all to launch a counterattack against the Otsutsuki Clan."
"I will make this universe mine."
As his words fell, the room fell into absolute silence.
Everyone stared at Uchiha Mirai in shock.
Aside from Namikaze Minato, who had already heard about Mirai's 'Universal Domination' plan, the rest were completely dumbfounded.
They knew Mirai had ambition and vision far beyond theirs, but they had never imagined that his true goal was to defeat the Otsutsuki Clan and conquer the entire universe!
After a long moment, Tsunade was the first to recover. Her usual pride was absent as she acknowledged him openly for the first time.
"No wonder you're the only man who could conquer me..."
Mabui, Pakura, and Mei Terumi's gazes turned fervent, as if they wanted to devour Mirai right there.
To claim the universe as his own…
What an utterly bold and awe-inspiring declaration.
So confident. So proud.
Even when faced with the overwhelming power of the Otsutsuki Clan, he showed unparalleled courage.
How could there be such a charismatic man in this world?!
Onoki couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Mirai, I finally understand why you've gone to such lengths to take care of people from other nations."
"To us, the ninja world is everything."
"But in your eyes, it's nothing more than a speck of dust in the vast universe."
"With the entire universe as your goal, who would bother squabbling over the trivial matters of the ninja world?"
Seeing their reactions, Mirai calmly took a sip of tea. "Remember, do not speak of today's discussion to anyone. The investigation into Kara must also be conducted in secrecy."
"That concludes today's meeting."
"Understood!"
With that, Mirai ended the Five Kage Summit, and the attendees left one after another.
Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a pair of warm hands gently massaging his shoulders.
A bit surprised, he asked, "Tsunade, am I under a genjutsu?"
Hearing this, Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle before playfully slapping his shoulder.
"If I could put you under a genjutsu, I'd be Otsutsuki Tsunade by now."
"Hahaha!"
Uchiha Mirai grasped her soft hand and pulled her into his arms.
Since she was being so proactive for once, he wasn't about to let the moment go to waste.

Amegakure.
Akatsuki's Base.
Tendo Pain clasped his hands together.
A moment later, colorful projections appeared on the gigantic fingers of the Gedo Statue.
Pain swept his gaze over the gathered members and spoke coldly, "Kakuzu, Hidan, you two will go to the Land of Iron."
"They've offered a large sum of money to hire Akatsuki to protect their borders."
"You two are the best candidates for the job."
Kakuzu replied indifferently, "The Land of Iron is full of samurai. Those guys are difficult to deal with, and I might end up killing them all."
"Besides, I recently found a few ninjas with high bounties in the black market. I'd rather—"
"One hundred million ryo." Pain interrupted, his tone unwavering. "They will hand the money over to you in person once you arrive."
Kakuzu smirked and gave a thumbs-up. "As expected of our leader, you really know how to persuade people. No one else is better suited for this job than me."
Seeing Kakuzu agree, Pain turned to Hidan. "Hidan, any objections?"
Hidan shrugged. "As long as I can get sacrifices for Lord Jashin, I don't care where we go."
"Then it's decided." Pain made his final decision before continuing, "Kisame, Sasori, you two are in charge of gathering intel on the Tailed Beasts."
"Understood."
"Dismissed."
...
Pain slowly opened his eyes.
Uchiha Obito, his expression dark, grumbled, "Nagato, why did you go ahead and seal the Four-Tails into your own body?"
"According to the plan, the Four-Tails should have been sealed in the Gedo Statue."
"And... the Land of Iron's request is clearly meant to defend against Uchiha Mirai's retaliation. Sending Hidan and Kakuzu is just sending them to their deaths."
Ever since witnessing Uchiha Mirai's overwhelming strength, Obito had changed his plans.
Instead of reviving the Ten-Tails immediately, he intended to steal as many Tailed Beasts as possible and lay low.
As long as Uchiha Mirai couldn't revive the Ten-Tails, Obito believed he could outlast him using the power of the Gedo Statue.
Once Mirai died of old age, he could resume his Moon's Eye Plan without opposition.
But Nagato's actions directly conflicted with his strategy.
"If they die, it just means they weren't strong enough."
Pain gave Obito a cold glance and replied indifferently,
"Madara, you're merely a guide. I decide what happens in Akatsuki."
Obito let out a cold snort. "Nagato, you'll regret this."
Pain's voice remained emotionless. "I am the leader of Akatsuki."
Turning away, he walked toward the sealed chamber. "Oh, and one more thing."
"Stop calling me Nagato. I am Pain."
"I will use Yahiko's body to make the entire ninja world feel the same pain."
"Only then will true peace be achieved."
Watching Pain disappear, Uchiha Obito clenched his fists tightly.
Ever since Nagato implanted the Rinnegan and Hashirama's cells, his power had skyrocketed.
His personality had also become increasingly arrogant and detached.
Now, he didn't even respect Obito anymore…
Damn it!
Dealing with Mirai was already troublesome enough, and now Nagato was slipping out of his control too…
Why did he suddenly feel so much pressure?!
