"Natsuhi, since you refuse to surrender obediently, then you can die!"
Akahoshi snorted coldly, raising his hand to signal the Star Ninja behind him to attack Natsuhi together.
But just at that moment, Natsuhi suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
Mirai glanced at Natsuhi and the people behind her, before giving a slight nod.
Seeing Mirai approaching slowly, Akahoshi's face showed a hint of confusion.
"Who are you?!"
"The one who's here to take your life."
Hearing Uchiha Mirai's words, Akahoshi's expression suddenly cleared up, as if he had figured something out.
He turned to his subordinates and laughed loudly.
"Did you see that? Natsuhi found herself a lover!"
"No wonder she dared to return to the village alone—she has backup."
"Too bad for Hotaru. He probably just died not too long ago, right?"
Hearing Akahoshi's crude words, Natsuhi, usually calm and composed, grew furious.
She pointed at Akahoshi and snapped coldly, "You bastard, stop spewing nonsense!"
"The man beside me is none other than His Majesty, the Emperor of the Shinobi World!"
"Emperor?" Akahoshi glanced at Uchiha Mirai with surprise before sneering. "Do you think I'll fall for such a bluff?"
"Even if you are an emperor, so what? This is the Land of Bears, and this is Star Ninja territory!"
The Hoshigakure had always been secluded, paying little attention to the outside world. The idea of overthrowing the daimyo of the Land of Bears only emerged after Konoha reached out to them.
Because of this, they had little understanding of Uchiha Mirai, let alone any sense of reverence.
All they knew was that they outnumbered their opponents. There were dozens of them against just two people!
Moreover…
They had trained with the "Star," gaining power far beyond ordinary shinobi.
If their enemy had arrived with a vast army of shinobi, perhaps they would have been wary.
But now, the man before them was clearly alone.
Even if he was some so-called emperor, how much stronger could he really be?
With that thought, Akahoshi snorted.
"Attack! Kill that man! As for Natsuhi, she still has some value—capture her alive."
"Yes!"
At Akahoshi's command, the Star Ninja activated the Peacock Secret Technique, enveloping themselves in a shimmering cloak of chakra in vibrant colors.
"So this is the power of the 'Star'?"
"Such dense natural energy…"
Mirai could sense the aura surrounding the Star Ninja, and his heart stirred with excitement.
According to his knowledge, the Peacock Secret Technique was trained using a meteorite from outer space.
This meant that beyond the shinobi world, other planets might contain natural energy similar to that of this world.
His ambition of extending his dominion beyond the shinobi world was further validated.
"Kill!"
The battle cries of the Star Ninja pulled Uchiha Mirai back from his thoughts.
Watching them charge at him, his lips curled into a slight smirk.
Having lived two lifetimes, he understood one truth—reality was often more absurd than fiction.
Those who lived in their own little world could never truly grasp what it meant to be powerful.
Mirai clapped his hands together, his chest expanding as he took a deep breath.
"Sage Art: Fire Release—Majestic Fire Annihilation!"
After assimilating the power of the Dragon Vein and the Ten-Tails, all of Mirai's chakra had transformed into Sage Chakra.
With the enhancement of Sage Chakra, Majestic Fire Annihilation became an all-consuming inferno, capable of destroying everything in its path.
Its sheer heat and devastating range far surpassed even the version used by Uchiha Madara in the original timeline!
In an instant, the Star Ninja were engulfed in a raging sea of flames.
Regardless of their strength, they were indiscriminately incinerated within moments.
...
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering a reward: +1 Chakra! ]
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering a reward: +1 Mental Strength! ]
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering a reward… ]
Listening to the continuous system notifications in his mind, Mirai scoffed lightly.
"I had originally planned to test out a few more jutsu, but it looks like there's no need anymore."
As they watched the towering flames ahead, Natsuhi collapsed weakly to the ground.
Even though they knew Uchiha Mirai was strong, witnessing his power firsthand filled them with a primal fear that gripped their souls.
"T-This is terrifying… Is this the power of the Emperor who conquered the Five Great Nations?"
Natsuhi murmured to herself in disbelief.
With just a single jutsu, he had wiped out dozens of Star Ninja…
This level of power was beyond comprehension.
The most powerful technique they had ever seen was Akahoshi's Peacock Secret Technique.
But at most, the Peacock Secret Technique could shatter a large rock.
Compared to what they had just witnessed, it was utterly insignificant.
"Your Majesty, please, please stop! If this continues, the entire daimyo's estate will be burned to the ground!"
Watching the uncontrollable blaze spreading, Natsuhi panicked.
Mirai's long hair billowed in the wind as he stood still, calmly gazing ahead.
"Even if it all burns down, it's nothing worth mourning."
"From today onward, the Land of Bears will become part of the Divine Nation, ushering in a new era."
After speaking, Uchiha Mirai activated Yomotsu Hirasaka.
A pitch-black space portal appeared before them.
Moments later, shinobi wearing headbands bearing the insignia of the Divine Nation stepped out one by one.
The leading figures wore cloaks adorned with the Uchiha clan crest, immediately kneeling before Uchiha Mirai.
"Lord Mirai!"
Although Uchiha Shisui now officially held the position of clan leader, the older generation of Uchiha still instinctively referred to Mirai as their leader.
To them, Uchiha Mirai would always be the savior of their clan.
Only Mirai was the true leader of the Uchiha!
Seeing these familiar faces, Mirai chuckled. "Tetsuka, it's been a while. You've put on weight."
Uchiha Tetsuka looked embarrassed as he explained,
"I've been too busy lately and neglected my training…"
Mirai nodded slightly before saying indifferently, "The Hoshigakure of the Land of Bears has been eradicated. Take your men and handle the rest."
A gleam of excitement flashed in Tetsuka's eyes as he bowed.
"Yes!"
Once they departed, Mirai turned his gaze back to Natsuhi and the others.
They were all standing there, mouths agape, completely dazed.
They couldn't fathom that such a technique existed—one that could teleport an entire army across vast distances in an instant.
Was this… the power of a god?
