From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 204 Jigen's Bizarre Adventure

A tree.

A giant tree that reaches into the clouds.

The twisted roots, like a demon dwelling in the earth's veins, spread wildly, annihilating all living things in their path. The thick trunk spiraled upwards, piercing deep into the clouds, and at its very top, a huge flower bud bloomed.

"Where...is this place?!"

Uchiha Hikaru covered his forehead, feeling dizzy and disoriented, as if he had been hit with a stick. He looked around blankly at the unfamiliar and eerie environment.

Fragments of memory flashed by like a marquee.

"Yes... I lost!"

Uchiha Hikari suddenly remembered that while she was investigating a monk named 'Jigen', she had inadvertently exposed her whereabouts and was thus forced to fight him.

Who is she?
Hikaru Uchiha, a genius girl.

Born in the Warring States period, an era teeming with powerful figures, she could slaughter high-ranking ninjas as easily as slaughtering dogs. Even the Senju clan was treated like chickens by her.

Even if a mere wandering monk had some ability, Uchiha Hikaru didn't take him seriously. What's more, she had her biggest trump card: the eye technique Eight Thousand Spears that could control anyone!
However, the reality is that she lost miserably!

The monk's methods were quite bizarre. The black rod that appeared out of nowhere could not only suppress chakra, but also change size at will and appear anywhere.

In just a few moves, she was severely injured by the black stick.

Strangely, the monk named 'Jigen' not only did not kill her, but also helped the dying Uchiha Hikaru stop the bleeding from her wounds, and after leaving a meaningful smile, he suddenly disappeared before her eyes.

After that... she doesn't remember.

Suddenly, a burning sensation came from her palm, the stinging pain penetrating deep into her soul. The girl's legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground.

The stinging pain came quickly and went quickly.

Upon regaining his senses, Uchiha Hikaru hurriedly looked down at his palm, his eyes narrowing slightly: "What...is this thing?!"

On his fair palm, a jet-black diamond-shaped mark had been branded at some unknown time.

The source of that burning and stinging sensation just now was this mark!

Rumble…

Just then, a violent earthquake interrupted her thoughts.

Uchiha Hikaru barely managed to steady himself and looked up, only to see that the flower bud at the top of that towering tree... had bloomed!

The flower buds unfold layer by layer, revealing the core stamen.

In the center of the flower's stamen was a huge, blood-red eyeball, with nine jet-black tomoe embedded in concentric equilateral rings, emitting an eerie red light.

The moon hanging in the sky reflected that eye.

A crimson light covered the sky and the earth, and a solitary figure, like a high and mighty god, looked down on all living beings in the mortal world with cold and indifferent eyes.

That's a person.

Dressed in an elegant, fitted white tuxedo, loose black trousers, and a turned-up collar, he walked towards her step by step, like a gentleman, as if stepping on stairs in the void.

As the person drew closer, Uchiha Hikaru finally saw his appearance: pale skin and gray hair, with curved horns like a crown coiled around his head.

But what's even more surprising is...

The person's left and right eyes each possessed different pupil techniques. The pupil technique of the left eye was the 'Byakugan' that she was familiar with, while the pupil technique of the right eye was somewhat strange, with a golden sun-shaped center in the pupil surrounded by eight pitch-black lines.

"Who are you?"

Uchiha Hikaru was extremely wary of the strangers who suddenly appeared.

"Haven't you...been looking for me?"

The man stared at her and said expressionlessly.

Looking at that face, a sense of familiarity welled up inside me, gradually overlapping with the face in my memory.

Uchiha Hikaru was immediately shocked and subconsciously took a few steps back, assuming a fighting stance: "You are... Jigen?!" "Jigen is just the name of this 'vessel'."

The girl's image was reflected in the man's pupils. The corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and he said meaningfully, "I'm quite curious, who... sent you to investigate me?"

"No comment!"

Uchiha Hikaru's eyes sharpened, and he instantly realized that he might have been pulled into a genjutsu space, so he turned his kaleidoscope eyes on the screen.

"Ha, those inferior eyes..."

Cixian let out a sneer, and the golden pupil in his left eye suddenly burst forth with a suppressive force: "The lowly bloodline left behind by Kaguya... is barely qualified as a vessel."

Uchiha Hikaru was frozen in place by that eye power.

"Is that Kaguya Otsutsuki?"

"Still Hagoromo Otsutsuki?"

"Hehe... It's okay, I will dig out the secrets in your mind little by little."

Cixian spoke slowly, and then walked towards her step by step.

As the distance between them closed, he stared at Uchiha Hikaru, a smile playing on his lips, and then extended a long, pale finger, its sharp nail piercing towards the girl's brow.

"Don't resist..."

Cixian's voice penetrated deep into the girl's heart: "Accept all of this, accept God's gift. From now on, you are me... and I am you."

"no, do not want……"

Hikaru Uchiha's subconscious wanted to struggle and resist.

However, a burst of pupil power suddenly erupted from Jigen's right eye, with the force of a tsunami and a landslide, causing Uchiha Hikaru's mind to go blank. As if he were being controlled, his eyes gradually became unfocused and dull.

As the fingertip pierced between the eyebrows, a drop of blood flowed down.

Cixian transformed his consciousness into a massive data stream and directly injected it into the girl's body.

Sensing the girl's will, they continued to resist stubbornly.

Her soul shrank into a small ball of light, enduring the impact of the massive data stream, like a piece of driftwood under a giant wave, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

But... before Cixian's immense mental power, her resistance lasted only a few seconds before her soul was submerged in the massive data stream.

"Let me see who sent you..."

Cixian controlled the soul, gradually merging into that tiny soul, transforming it into its own information as a data stream, and began to erode it like a virus.

suddenly!

Just as Jigen was about to transform Uchiha Hikaru into his 'vessel', a voice seemed to transcend time and space, carrying a desolate and ancient aura, and exploded like thunder.

"Are you... looking for me?"

A massive tremor swept through the entire space.

The crimson space was torn apart inch by inch, and then the sky suddenly split open as if it had been cleaved in two.

A terrifying aura poured down.

Jigen's eyes widened instantly as he stared intently at the gaping hole in the sky: "Impossible... This is the reincarnation space of the Otsutsuki clan, how could it have been invaded?!"

Its enormous, pale golden eyes, with their long, narrow, vertical pupils, gazed at Cixian through the gap torn open in the crimson space with a cold, indifferent look.

With just a glance, Cixian felt a chill run through her body, countless thoughts erupted in her mind, her spirit twisted and confused, and she wished she could tear her own soul apart.

boom--! ! !
The crimson space was trembling violently.

Visible cracks spread throughout the space, like a mirror about to shatter. Cixian, who was in the middle of it, turned extremely pale in an instant.

What...what the hell is this?!
