Oh the original writer of this story, the light novel, was Sho Hinata. Did not see that last time.
Summary Time: Chapter 2. S-Rank Mission. These chapter titles aren't that creative.
Cover Page is Mirai as a chunin in current day.
The chapter starts with some thugs in a hideout. Someone knocks on the door asking to be let in, its Mirai. She defeats the bandits one tries to uses ninjutsu be she throw's one of her father's trench knives at him. She laments that she isn't good at controlling her chakra yet. After they round up all the bandits, some random leaf ninjas, so its clear whoever her teammates were are unimportant to either the story or her another thing that been abandon since we had to spend years reading about one team desperate to get one of their teammates back but now Bolt only cares about Nail and Mirai's team doesn't matter, talk to her and praise her as the daughter of Asuma and the third hokage. She is having the same problem of being in their shadow like Konohamaru was years ago. They do not mention her uncle Konohamaru despite him supposedly being a famous ninja and on the short list for next hokage if anything should happen to Naruto, kinda shows how important he is doesn't it.
After navel gazing about that for awhile, we see her waking up for another day. She talks to her mom and I guess her job is to be one of the hokage guard. She normally guards Naruto but she has been reassigned to guard Kakashi today. Kurenia gets worried as she will have to guard the two of them on her own while they are on vacation. Apparently, there is a Kage summit going on, but Kakashi's vacation is somewhat of a cover so he can inspect land of steam. Naruto specifically assigned Mirai to the job of guard Kakashi. We learn this from a flashback of her playing Shogi with Shikamaru. When she loses Shikamaru notices she reacts the same way Asuma used to when he lost. They have the 'what does the king in shogi represent' talk.
While walking to the meeting she daydreams about what she should do if Kakashi gets ambushed. She does this out loud. Finally, we have Kakashi and Guy...god they barely look like they have aged a day. The two of them banter while a pair elderly couple pass them. Mirai fears an attack, Kakashi teases her. At the end, they are about to enter the land of steam, with Mirai's thoughts being that she about to enter the homeland of the man that killed her father.
Eh, I still go with 6-7/10.
