I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 103: Susanoo within the Genji Heavy Industries! (Seeking first subscription)

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

next moment.

"Tsukuyomi!"

Uchiha Hikaru's kaleidoscope eyes swirled slightly, causing Tachibana Masamune to momentarily lose his senses. Before he could recover, Uchiha Hikaru clenched his wrist with a slight squeeze of his fingers, then lifted him up, sending him flying several meters through the air before crashing into a cabinet behind him!

boom--!

With a loud crash, the wooden cabinet was overturned and scattered all over the floor, along with the documents and bottles inside.

Tachibana Masamune, who had just raised his head from the mess, seemed to have aged several years in that instant. He was covered in sweat, and his eyes were somewhat dazed. He looked at Uchiha Hikaru with a look of utter terror, and then suddenly scrambled away!

"Someone come quick! Someone come quick!!"

Just as Uchiha Hikaru was about to get up and chase after him, she felt her fingers being gently gripped. Looking down, she saw Erii holding her hand, nervously holding up a small notebook: "Hikaru, Masamune-san isn't a bad person..."

(If he's not a bad person, then there probably aren't any bad people in the entire dragon world.)

Uchiha Hikaru sighed inwardly, but didn't explain immediately. Instead, he gently stroked Erii's soft red hair, slowly pried open her fingers, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. You rest here for a while. I'll go out and take care of something, and I'll come back to you later."

"Don't worry, it won't hurt your brother."

Upon hearing this promise, Erii hesitated for a moment before withdrawing her hand, clutching the wooden carving, and looking at Uchiha Hikaru with her doe-like eyes.

Uchiha Hikaru got up and walked outside.

In just a short while.

A commotion had broken out outside the wooden room, with numerous footsteps converging from all floors of the building. Faintly, Uchiha Hikaru seemed to hear clicking sounds, as if bullets were being chambered.

"Protect the patriarch!"

"Get out of the room immediately, or we'll shoot!"

"Oh."

Uchiha Hikaru walked through the wooden corridor and stopped at the metal door, looking at the dark mass of guards standing in the corridor outside.

These men's guns were all equipped with laser sights, red beams aimed at every part of her body, as if they could turn her into a sieve at any moment. But Uchiha Hikaru's expression was indifferent, her eyes looking directly over the group of guards at Tachibana Masamune on the other side of the corridor: "All you do is hide behind others and play mind games, Dr. Herzog?"

"?!"

At that moment, Tachibana Masamune, who was hiding behind the crowd and having his wrist bandaged by medical staff, was startled!

However, immediately afterwards...

Someone whispered, "Fire!"

Almost simultaneously with the sound of gunfire.

Uchiha Hikaru's eyes, like a giant tomoe windmill, spun gently: "Susanoo!!"

bang bang bang-

Gunfire erupted!

A barrage of bullets swept in like a rainstorm, enveloping Uchiha Hikaru. However, all the bullets stopped midway, blocked by a skeleton formed from a layer of dark red flames. A few seconds later, spent casings fell to the ground with a series of crisp sounds.

"Th-what is that?!"

"Words of power?!"

Susanoo can be seen with the naked eye, and the guards who witnessed it all showed expressions of astonishment.

As the words echoed, Uchiha Hikaru stirred.

It was just a simple gesture of raising one's hand.

As Uchiha Hikaru made his move, the dark red Susanoo also raised the blazing greatsword and swung it down into the corridor in front of it!

"One Hundred and Eight Slashes - Heavy Cannon Slash!"

At that moment, a fiery sword aura descended, tearing through the air in the blink of an eye and sweeping across the entire corridor! From Uchiha Hikaru's feet, everything in a straight line was torn in two, and raging flames appeared in the void, forming a long path of flames tens of meters long!

zizi——

The light bulbs embedded in the ceiling began to flicker.

At that moment, Uchiha Hikaru's true form also shot out!

In the narrow corridor, she pushed her speed to the limit, pounced into the guards' ranks like a ghost, and casually threw punches and kicks. Everyone hit by her punches and kicks was sent flying, crashing into the walls or the crowd behind them with dull thuds.

Someone tried to fire a shot, but Uchiha Hikaru chopped off the gun barrel with a hand chop, then ran forward along the walls and ceiling as if defying gravity, his target Tachibana Masamune at the end of the corridor!

"Oh no... her target is the patriarch!"

"We can't let her go any longer!"

The men who served as guards at Genji Heavy Industries were mostly vicious thugs from the underworld. At this moment, they all showed a desperate attitude, pulling out weapons such as short knives and batons from their pockets, trying to stop Uchiha Hikaru's advance, but all to no avail. They were all thrown away like sandbags.

Just as Uchiha Hikaru was about to grab Tachibana Masamune by the collar, a rapidly approaching figure suddenly arrived!

Then, a streak of azure light fell from the sky!

Hokushin Itto-ryu: Frostfall!

"..."

The chilling killing intent contained within the blade made Uchiha Hikaru raise an eyebrow slightly. He stopped his hand, which was originally reaching for Tachibana Masamune, and instead grabbed the long sword that was attacking from the side!

Ping!!

The instant her fingertips touched the blade, Uchiha Hikaru felt an immense force, causing her chakra-infused fingers to slightly sway. The newcomer, after a moment's hesitation, freed one hand to throw a punch, which she deflected with her wrist, then unleashed a powerful whip kick towards his wide-open chest!

Bang-!

The newcomer grunted and, using the momentum of his retreat, forcefully drew his sword, breaking free of Uchiha Hikaru's fingers.

Uchiha Hikaru, on the other hand, performed a clean and crisp backflip, landing lightly five or six meters away. Her petite figure was like a graceful butterfly. As she stood up, she casually reached out and grabbed two guards who were trying to rush up by the collar, lifting them up and throwing them into the dense crowd.

After doing all this, Uchiha Hikaru tilted his head and looked at the spot where he had just stood.

"Yuan Zhisheng?"

There, a black-haired boy, who looked to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, stood with a cold expression, holding a knife, his eyes seemingly filled with the image of a golden blade.

"Dad, step back."

Genjiro stared intently at Uchiha Hikaru, speaking without turning his head.

Behind him, in another corridor that forms an L-shape with Erii's room, a group of executive officers dressed in black trench coats were arriving one after another.

"Who are you?" Yuan Zhisheng suddenly asked.

"Uchiha, Hikari."

「!?」

Genjiro was visibly taken aback when he heard Uchiha Hikaru introduce himself.

The "light" Erii spoke of... is actually a woman?!

—To be precise, it should be a girl.

Even in the dim light, Genjiro could tell that Uchiha Hikaru was no more than fifteen years old and was more than a head shorter than him.

"...I don't know what your purpose is, but Erii is my sister, and Tachibana Masamune is the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. I will not allow you to harm them in the slightest, no matter what the reason."

Yuan Zhisheng's words were resolute.

the other side.

Uchiha Hikaru slowly curled the corners of his lips, holding two fingers like a sword in front of him: "You dare to point your blade at me, you have courage, but that's all you've got... Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Kill!"
