I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 11 I'm not discussing this with you

Before he could finish speaking...

The crimson three-tomoe pearls reappeared in Uchiha Hikaru's eyes. And this time, after taking shape, the three tomoe did not solidify, but instead gently spun and merged into the shape of a large windmill!

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

Upon seeing the crimson in Uchiha Hikaru's eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi was on high alert, rapidly mobilizing his chakra: "You really are..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The world is spinning!

……

Tsukuyomi, one of the ultimate genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It was also Itachi Uchiha's signature move in the original storyline.

In the genjutsu world constructed by Tsukuyomi, everything—time, place, mass—is controlled by the caster. Under normal circumstances, there is almost no way to break free. Only those who also possess the Mangekyou Sharingan and whose ocular power surpasses that of the caster, or those with extremely strong mental strength, or those who, like a Jinchūriki, possess two streams of chakra within their bodies, can forcibly break free.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was once known as a ninja hero, dominating the ninja world with his Five Elements Great Combo. Even now, in his old age, he still possesses an indomitable will. If it were the original Hikaru Uchiha, on a battlefield where both sides were on guard, it might not have been so easy to pull him into the genjutsu space.

but……

After the fusion of the two souls, Uchiha Hikaru's eye power was no longer comparable to what it was before.

In the current ninja world, there may still be a few people who can forcibly break through her Tsukuyomi space using their special methods, but this old and frail Third Hokage is definitely not included!

The power of his pupils flowed.

It was as if a layer of mist had been shrouded over it.

Everything around them—Naruto, the single apartment, the Anbu hiding outside, even the entire Hidden Leaf Village… all vanished like bubbles, leaving only a vast expanse of ice, as clear as a mirror. Beneath the ice lay deep, dark water, while on the ice, Uchiha Hikaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen faced each other across several dozen meters.

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly raised his hands to form hand seals, but after several unsuccessful attempts to dispel the illusion, his expression turned extremely grim.

"Miss Uchiha from the Warring States period, are you truly determined to become an enemy of Konoha?"

"hehe."

Uchiha Hikaru laughed, his voice seemingly echoing from all directions simultaneously, reverberating throughout the space:

"Stop bringing up Konoha all the time, acting like you're the embodiment of the village's will."

"As I said, I have no intention of being your enemy. I just want to talk to you alone in a different place. Whether you believe it or not, I did meet Minato Namikaze. And from him, I learned about everything that has happened in Konoha over the years, from the grudge between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha in the past to the Nine-Tails' attack four years ago."

It's true that he and Kushina Uzumaki sacrificed themselves for Konoha willingly, but that's no reason for you to trample on the dignity of the dead.

My demands are few, only two. Keep certain people quiet and give Naruto the treatment he deserves as the orphan of a hero. As for his identity as the Fourth Hokage's son, it can be kept secret for now, but it's best if people have some idea.

"This is not a discussion, it is an order."

"Of course, you can also choose to risk your Hokage title and fight me to the death, but you'd better think carefully about whether you can actually do it."

Uchiha Hikaru pointed to his eyes, a mocking expression on his face: "Before my eyes... you have no chance of winning!"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists tightly.

As the village's leader, after his initial shock, he gradually calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Miss Uchiha Hikaru, since you've met Minato, you should know the effort he put into this village. If your actions cause Konoha to fall into a state of near collapse, that's definitely not what he wants to see."

I'll say it again.

Uchiha Hikaru's eyes were low as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "I'm not discussing this with you."

"..."

"Delaying time won't help. The flow of time here is different from the outside world. Even if you stay here for a whole day, it will only be a short moment outside. Your men won't have time to save you."

"..."

For a long time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally sighed, his tone subtly changing: "You should know that the Mangekyou Sharingan can control tailed beasts. Four years ago, it was..."

"I also heard Minato Namikaze talk about the Nine-Tails' rampage four years ago."

Uchiha Hikaru noticed the hesitation in Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and decided to give him a way out: "According to his own eyes, the person who controlled the Nine-Tails was a masked man with the Mangekyou Sharingan who called himself Uchiha Madara. However, since even Namikaze Minato had never seen his true face, it is unknown whether he was true or not."

You can send someone to investigate Madara Uchiha's whereabouts after he left Konoha; perhaps you can find some clues.

"I've said what I needed to say. You can choose which path to take."

……

The conversations within the Tsukuyomi space appear to the outside world to last only a few seconds.

Naruto looked blank, only noticing that Uchiha Hikaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen had exchanged a glance and then started to stare blankly.

But the secret agents guarding outside couldn't sit still any longer.

"Oh no, those eyes... she's going to harm the Third Hokage!!"

"Protect the Hokage!"

With several loud bangs, the windows of the single-room apartment shattered, and several ANBU members rushed in from outside. One of them charged at Hiruzen Sarutobi, attempting to inject chakra into him to dispel the genjutsu. The other two grabbed Hikari Uchiha's shoulders, intending to subdue her.

but……

These actions are only halfway done.

Uchiha Hikaru, who was "in a daze," suddenly brightened up. He stood up from the chair, accurately grabbed the wrists of the two Anbu members with both hands, and then twisted his waist, throwing them directly to the sides!

With two loud thuds, one of the two secret agents crashed into the wall and the other overturned the table. They then staggered around, drew their swords, and both wore wary expressions.

A tense atmosphere permeated the small room. Except for Naruto, who stood timidly to the side, completely bewildered by the situation, everyone else was prepared for a fierce fight.

Before the battle could escalate further, Hiruzen Sarutobi, having regained his senses, called for a halt: "Stop it, everyone."

"Sandaime-sama..."

Several members of the shadows turned their heads, somewhat confused about the situation.

"You may all step back. Miss Uchiha Hikaru... she meant no harm."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said the words with some difficulty, then looked at Hikari Uchiha with a complicated expression: "Miss Hikari, I will send someone to do what you requested as soon as possible, until then..."

"Until then, I'll just make do here for now."

Uchiha Hikaru casually replied, "It's also a good opportunity for me to fulfill some of the duties of a guardian in place of my old friend."
