Naruto: Saving the Universe by Stealing Attributes

"I'm not the type of person who enjoys reasoning with others."

Looking at Mirai's mocking gaze, Tsunade's expression turned cautious.

"What do you intend to do?"

Uchiha Mirai smiled faintly. "What do I intend to do?"

"Wood Release: Nativity of a Sea of Trees!"

With a clap of his hands, thick trees burst forth from the ground, enveloping Tsunade in an instant.

The next moment, countless vines surged toward her. Seeing this, Tsunade was infuriated.

She had never imagined that, given their relationship, Mirai would resort to direct action so decisively!

Faced with the encroaching tree world, Tsunade could only channel her chakra throughout her body.

"Punch!"

She struck with full force, shattering the vines in front of her. But the next second, more dense vines coiled toward her relentlessly.

Taking a deep breath, Tsunade's eyes glinted with determination. One punch, two punches, three punches…

Using her monstrous strength, she pulverized every attacking vine and branch. Such an overwhelming display of power would leave even colossal creatures like Manda or a tailed beast struggling to endure. Yet, these constantly regenerating vines showed no signs of retreat, continuously wrapping around her.

Before long, the prolonged use of her strength left Tsunade slightly winded. Glancing at Mirai, who stood at a distance watching her with a smug expression, she growled and let out a roar. Her chakra surged dramatically.

"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"

Boom!

The earth cracked and split under her immense strength, creating a gap in the surrounding forest of trees. Seizing the opportunity, Tsunade leaped high into the air.

But Mirai clapped his hands again.

"Wood Style: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"

Massive blossoms bloomed instantly, releasing a cloud of pink pollen that filled the tree world. Breathing in just a trace of it, Tsunade's body weakened, and she fell heavily to the ground.

"Mirai, you bastard!"

Being subdued by a technique from her granduncle, Tsunade couldn't help but shout angrily.

Unmoved, Uchiha Mirai spoke calmly.

"So, are you ready to admit you owe me money?"

Tsunade gritted her teeth.

"Dream on!"

"Yin Seal!"

The diamond-shaped mark on her forehead extended outward, black streaks spreading across her skin.

In a flash, Uchiha Mirai appeared beside her and lightly tapped her abdomen.

"Eight Trigrams Seal."

Tsunade's body instantly went limp, her chakra unable to flow freely. Thick vines wrapped tightly around her, immobilizing her completely.

Walking up to her, Mirai sighed. "Was it really necessary to use the Yin Seal?"

"You're the one bullying me!" Tsunade snapped.

Raising an eyebrow, Mirai retorted, "I'm bullying you? You're the one who refuses to pay your debt."

Hearing this, Tsunade gave up entirely.

"I already lost all that money gambling. Do whatever you want."

She wanted to see how far Mirai would go. But instead of the tantrum she anticipated, Mirai stepped closer, lifting her chin.

As his predatory gaze met hers, Tsunade panicked.

"What... what are you planning? I'm warning you, don't do anything rash…"

Before she could finish, he kissed her.

Her eyes widened in shock. She had been… kissed?!

Although it was brief, the soft, warm sensation lingered in her mind.

"You bastard! I'll kill you!"

Tsunade raged like a humanoid dragon, but her restrained body left her powerless to retaliate effectively.

Unfazed, Uchiha Mirai met her furious glare.

"That's the interest. If you don't pay the principal soon, I'll come to collect interest again."

He handed her a deed.

"This is the estate where the First and Second Hokage once lived. It's yours now."

Tsunade froze, memories of her childhood surfacing. After a long pause, she asked hesitantly, "Why are you giving this to me? I haven't even repaid you yet."

Scratching his chin, Mirai replied casually, "Charging you three million ryo in interest for a kiss seems unfair. Consider this estate compensation."

Tsunade blushed furiously. Compensation? This cheeky brat had no shame!

"If you ever need money, let me know. I'll take care of you," Mirai added, his tone laced with meaning. Without waiting for her response, he vanished.

Tsunade stood alone in the forest, tears of frustration threatening to fall. For the first time, she felt the helplessness of being cornered by a debt collector. She couldn't fight him, nor could she escape. Worse yet, he was the renowned Fourth Hokage!

Was this her future? Constantly repaying interest in such an embarrassing manner?

Wiping her lips, Tsunade couldn't help but calculate. "But… three million ryo plus this estate… that's at least five million ryo."

The realization made her heart flutter. Compared to her previous life of constant running and hiding from creditors, this deal seemed almost… reasonable.

"If it's only once a week…" she murmured. "I wouldn't have to worry about money anymore."

Her resolve firmed as she looked in the direction Uchiha Mirai had left. Five million ryo for a kiss? She could live with that.

...

Back in Konoha…

Inside the Hokage's office, Uchiha Mirai was reviewing documents when an ANBU member entered.

"Lord Mirai, this month's casino earnings. Please review them."

"Understood. You're dismissed."

As the ANBU departed, Mirai's lips curved into a satisfied smile. Just as Tsunade had said—getting something for free truly felt amazing.
