I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 107 Conqueror's Haki?

Inside a small, dark, square room.

Two tables and chairs are placed facing each other.

The crow, dressed in a black suit, stared coldly at the cartoonist sitting opposite him.

"You're Masashi Kishimoto?"

"……Yes."

"Did you draw Naruto?"

"……right."

Masashi Kishimoto sat in the interrogation chair, cautiously glancing to both sides, somewhat confused about the situation: "I did indeed serialize this manga in Weekly Shonen Jump, and the deadline is the day after tomorrow... May I ask why you gentlemen brought me here?"

Snapped!

The crow slammed a stack of photos onto the table and raised its chin: "Do you recognize this person?"

The photo was clearly taken from surveillance footage. It only showed a girl's fair and delicate profile, with long, black hair like a little hedgehog that reached her waist. Her clothing was not much different from that of modern people, and a hint of blush could be seen in her eyes.

"...I don't know him."

Masashi Kishimoto examined it carefully for a while, then shook his head in denial.

"Her name is Uchiha Hikaru, the head of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village. She has the Sharingan and can use Shadow Clone Jutsu, Genjutsu, and Susanoo... Who is she? What is your relationship with her?"

"what?"

Masashi Kishimoto paused for a moment, then instinctively began to explain, "No, Konoha Village and all that is fictional. Besides, even if such a village really existed, the head of the Uchiha clan was Fugaku Uchiha, who was killed by Itachi early in the manga... There are no girls of that age among the characters from the Uchiha clan who have appeared..."

"Shut up! Do you know more about Naruto than I do?!"

The crow snorted coldly and said without any politeness, "If you haven't seen that girl, why did you draw these things out of thin air in the comics? Think carefully and tell me everything you know about that girl, otherwise..."

"Hmph! There are still a few concrete piles missing in Tokyo Bay."

Seemingly in agreement with Crow's words, the two men in black suits standing to the side snorted coldly, revealing a smug expression.

Masashi Kishimoto swallowed nervously, his expression becoming even more bewildered.

no……

What's going on with these people?

I'm just a comic artist, how could I encounter such an outrageous thing?

……

"How is it?"

Outside the interrogation room.

Yaksha offered the crow a cigarette.

"I've asked enough questions... Can I borrow a light?"

The crow took a few deep breaths and exhaled a cloud of white mist: "I've already examined his blood. This Kishimoto Masashi is also a hybrid, but his bloodline isn't very pure... Judging from the current situation, he may have accidentally entered Uchiha Hikari's Nibelungen many years ago, but he wasn't killed by her. Moreover, he still retained some of his memories after leaving, and based on that, he created Naruto."

According to him, the girl resembled a character he envisioned named "Uchiha Madara," which he considered evidence.

"That statue in the Valley of the End?"

Yasha had clearly read the original work: "But I remember that person was a man, right? And in the story, he should have died a long time ago, right?"

"Yeah, so Masashi Kishimoto planned to make that girl a humanoid weapon sealed by the Uchiha Hikaru clan using a special method. She was dug out by the defector Uchiha Madara, and after his death, she continued to operate in the ninja world as the 'Masked Man.' But the person under the mask is actually a beautiful thirteen-year-old girl... Sounds pretty cool, right?"

The crow took two more puffs of its cigarette: "I've already had someone move the easel inside. Let's see what he can paint in a bit."

Yaksha: "?"

……

At this moment.

Hikaru Uchiha, unaware that he might be replacing Obito in the role, is strolling through the streets of Tokyo.

She had previously visited the Japan of Miko Yotsuya's world, but it was quite different from the real world; many things were ambiguous—for example, Miko had never heard of *Naruto* or *Dragon Ball*. The scenes unfolding before her now were more in line with her impression of Tokyo.

A trailer for "Bakemonogatari" was playing on a large screen not far away.

Office workers in black suits hurried along.

Across the street stood several cosplayers dressed as Gintama.

Two elementary school students wearing yellow hats walked along, discussing the latest plot of One Piece...

Uchiha Hikaru was also silently planning: "When I go back this time, I'll pack a few sets of manga to take with me, so I can read them when I'm bored."

"And bring some new CDs for the Nekosei."

"Oh, right, I need to buy more books."

This last point isn't for myself.

After getting to know the Uchiha clan members of Konoha Village better, Hikaru Uchiha gradually realized that Fugaku and the others had very low levels of education.

—This mainly refers to the humanities and social sciences.

Konoha Village has been established for less than sixty years. For the previous few hundred years, it was the Warring States period, and people were busy fighting every day, so naturally they had no time to develop culture. Furthermore, the Uchiha clan itself is very arrogant, valuing strength above all else and disdaining to do things that require intelligence, so there are often some exceptionally stupid members of the clan.

For example, a certain brilliant person who "started to think like a Naruto at the age of 7" spent two years devising a brilliant plan to resolve the conflict between his clan and village by wiping out his best friend's clan after witnessing his friend's eyes being gouged out and him falling into the river.

There was also another powerful technique called "Kotoamatsukami," which possessed the ability to alter the will of others, but Daebaek never managed to unleash its ultimate move before his death.

Therefore, Uchiha Hikaru decided to give them a crash course.

They also have to write a review of no less than 8000 words after reading each book, so as not to make them do a perfunctory job.

"Hmm... I'll make a list later and have the Snake Clan procure it."

"Anyway, I have no money."

Uchiha Hikaru glanced out of the corner of his eye at the figures of several execution bureau agents following not far behind him, stopped at the intersection, and looked up at the sky.

Having finally made it to the world of Dragon Raja, her goal certainly couldn't be as simple as just buying a few comics.

There are still many things in this world worth exploring.

The bloodline and authority of dragons, alchemy, the power of words...

"Speaking of which... is there anything in common between the power of hybrids and things like chakra and ki?"

"Could we use the 'Eight Thousand Spears' to absorb their power and then unleash the 'Word of Power'?"

With this thought in mind, Uchiha Hikaru closed his eyes slightly and found the one belonging to Genji among the seals he had just made.

Then I tried to activate my pupil power and operate the "Eight Thousand Spears".

A few breaths later.

A faint power drifted from the direction of Genji Heavy Industries and entered her body through a passage in the void.

but……

"Tsk tsk, so little."

The feeling was somewhat like sipping a frozen slushie through a straw, quite different from the milk-sucking experience in the Naruto or Dragon Ball worlds. It was rather obscure.

"Is it because the power of hybrids comes entirely from their bloodline, similar to bloodline limits like Ice Release or Corpse Bone Pulse, that 'Eight Thousand Spears' cannot analyze them smoothly?"

However, since it's only a small amount, rather than an inability to absorb it, this proves that the idea is feasible.

Uchiha Hikaru took a deep breath and continued to activate his eye power.

Although the absorption process was still not very smooth, with increased effort, she managed to forcibly absorb the "water" mixed in with the "slushie".

During this process, a faint sense of majesty emanated from her, and when it reached a certain limit, it suddenly burst forth from all around, causing everyone nearby to feel a sinking feeling in their hearts. Many people even staggered and looked up in surprise.

"What's going on...?"

"Has there been another earthquake?"

Amidst a chorus of surprised and uncertain voices.

The two elementary school students who had been discussing One Piece almost tripped as well, then turned around as if sensing something, looking at Uchiha Hikaru with shocked expressions: "That lady just now... did she use Conqueror's Haki?!"

That's all for today's update. Happy second day of the Lunar New Year! Also, the book club group has been created; feel free to join if you're interested!
