I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 101 Are you looking for me?

"No."

Erii held up her notebook, her face serious: "My family doesn't like me running around outside. If I see Hikari, it might cause him trouble."

"……Oh well."

Uchiha Hikaru didn't insist any further: "If anything happens, just say it in the group chat. If there's any danger, I can rush over immediately."

"Um."

After nodding vigorously, Erii waved her hand and then disappeared in front of Uchiha Hikaru in a ball of white light.

The little monster has left the nameless world.

Uchiha Hikaru stretched and continued chatting with Erii, Bulma, and others in the group chat while summoning his Flying Nimbus, preparing to visit the Cat Sage in Korin Tower on the way.

……

Dragon Raja world.

A wooden room located inside the Genji Heavy Industries building.

Erii lay quietly on the hospital bed, her body connected to the filtration machine. As the filtered blood flowed into her body, the dark gray veins on the girl's skin began to smooth out, and her skin gradually returned to its original porcelain white color.

When will she wake up?

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Genji asked.

"About six or seven hours. Once the sedative wears off, the head of the Uesugi family will wake up."

The head of the medical team answered.

Yuan Zhisheng sat for a while longer, then quietly got up, went out, and came to the outside.

Here, Tachibana Masamune was sitting on the tatami mat, holding a small notebook filled with writing, looking completely bewildered.

"Konoha Village, ninjas, the Uchiha clan... what does that mean?"

Are there any families in Japan with this surname?

While the two important figures were completely bewildered, the head of the medical team suddenly coughed and interjected, "Master, young master, the names that Miss Erii wrote seem to have appeared in an anime... It's a very popular manga in recent years called 'Naruto,' which is currently being serialized in JUMP. Miss Erii recently watched its anime."

"?"

After obtaining permission from Tachibana Masamune, the head of the medical team opened his laptop, found the Naruto playback interface, and then pushed the screen towards him.

A moment of silence.

"...Chisei, what do you think?"

"..."

Genji was silent for a moment, then spoke somewhat uncertainly, "It could be a lie fabricated by the other party, or some kind of hypnosis technique that confused Erii's perception of reality, making her mistakenly believe that she has been in the world of an anime these past few days... But why this one of them? Crow, who is the author of this manga?"

The crow quickly pulled out its phone and started searching: "It seems to be called Masashi Kishimoto, and he lives in Tokyo... Should we bring him here and question him?"

"……Can."

Yuan Zhisheng nodded: "Remember to be polite, after all, we can't be sure if the other party is related to this kidnapping incident."

"it is good."

The crows, having received their orders, immediately took action.

Genjiro then turned his gaze to the wooden carving beside him, frowning slightly: "What's this again?"

"It was something that Ms. Erii was holding when she came back. She was gripping it very tightly, and it took us a lot of effort to remove it after she fell asleep," the head of the medical team replied. "The wooden base of this carving has the inscription 'Eri's Light' on it."

"Hikaru? Who's that? Is there such a person in Naruto?"

"no."

After confirming with the head of the medical team, Tachibana Masamune, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke: "It seems that this may be the name of the kidnapper. To be able to take Erii away silently and then return her without us noticing, his Word of Power is likely of the Concealment type... and his bloodline purity is very high, possibly no less than yours."

This is incredible—

As Amaterasu of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, a super hybrid who inherited imperial blood, Genji's bloodline purity was already quite high. Yet even he hadn't noticed when or how Erii was sent back. To be able to deceive everyone to this extent…

Can we still truly be called human?

"Since they sent Erii back, it means they don't intend to be enemies with the Snake-Headed Eight Families for the time being... Of course, we can't rule out that they have other purposes as well."

"No matter what, this address is no longer safe. In order to prevent the other party from showing up again, I think it is necessary to prepare a new safe house and settle Erii there."

Yuan Zhisheng spoke up.

Tachibana Masamune nodded: "Yes, Chisei, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll stay here and wait for Erii to wake up."

……

[Anonymous@LittleMonster: Erii, are you awake? Did your family give you any trouble?]

[Little Monster: No, I just saw my brother and told them about going to Konoha, but they didn't seem to believe me... My brother said he'd take me somewhere else to stay, and I'll need another serum injection later.]

[Anonymous: Do we need to cleanse our blood?]

[Bulma: Blood Cleansing?]

[Anonymous: It's basically about draining all the blood from a person's body and then transfusing new blood. It's a medical procedure used in Erii's world to stabilize a person's condition.]

[Bulma: Huh?? Can that person still be alive??]

Uchiha Koushin said, "Who knows?"

Putting aside everything else, the vitality of those high-level hybrids in the Dragon Clan world is truly absurd. Chu Zihang, whose actual bloodline is below A-grade, was able to withstand half an hour of absolute anemia without dying, thanks to his physique. Erii's bloodline is estimated to be super S-grade, so she should be able to withstand it for forty minutes without much problem... But it's hard to say, since her bloodline has been contaminated and is not pure.

During the conversation between Uchiha Hikaru and Bulma, Erii sent several new messages.

[Little Monster: They've all gone out, and now I'm all alone in the room. Light, can I come to your place again?]

[Nameless: No, let's not talk about it now. Take good care of yourself at home and we'll talk again later. Or, when I have some free time, I can come visit you with Bulma and the others.]

[Little Monster: ...Okay, I'm going to take a nap now, I'm so sleepy.]

[Anonymous: By the way, besides your brother, did you see Tachibana Masamune just now?]

[Little Monster: Mr. Masamune? He just left with my brother... wait, it seems like he's back?]

……

In a clean and spacious ward.

Wearing only a thin nightgown, Erii held a wooden carving in her hand as she lay on the hospital bed, her eyelids beginning to droop involuntarily.

The serum she had just been injected with contained a significant amount of sedatives, and these drugs were still taking effect, causing waves of drowsiness to wash over her. The clock on the wall pointed to 11 p.m., a time when everyone was exhausted and everyone was fast asleep. The medical team standing guard outside had also quietly gone to bed, and not a sound could be heard.

I don't know how much time has passed.

As if a gust of wind had blown by, the door to the ward was opened and closed silently.

Someone has come in.

It's Tachibana Masamune.

The latter quietly walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at Erii: "Eri, who exactly was the person who took you away?"

"Well……"

Erii was groggily woken up. After a few seconds of slow reaction, she took the notebook next to her as instructed, wrote down the name "Uchiha Hikaru," and then held the notebook up.

"I'm referring to his real identity!"

Tachibana Masamune frowned, then suddenly grabbed Erii's wrist, his tone turning irritable: "Don't play dumb, and don't try to fool me with some random anime character. I know you know him. Write down everything you know, now!"

At this moment, Tachibana Masamune's usually kind and gentle old face revealed a hint of coldness, resembling a demon in the dim moonlight, inspiring fear in those who beheld him.

"...?!"

Erii was a little startled, and her face showed a look of helplessness.

Just then...

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the opposite side of the hospital bed and grabbed the hand that Tachibana Masamune was holding Erii's.

As if suddenly, a petite figure appeared in the room, speaking slowly in a clear, gentle voice: "Excuse me, are you looking for me?"

"Who?!"

Tachibana Masamune's eyelids twitched violently, and he suddenly looked up.

What came into view was a fair and beautiful face, with a magnificent flame burning in her calm eyes!
