I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 133 Karin, Do You Know Science? (Third Update)

"...Misa?"

Upon hearing the name, Uchiha Hikaru paused for a moment, a subtle expression appearing on his face.

Could it be...

Karin's father is named Hiroshi Uzumaki?

On the other side, Karin cautiously reached out and touched her fingers, then quickly withdrew them: "Are you a ninja from Konoha? I heard those people say..."

"No, I am not from any ninja village."

Uchiha Hikaru pointed to his smooth, fair forehead, paused, and said, "But I'm staying in Konoha for now."

"what?"

Karin opened her mouth, looking completely bewildered.

Uchiha Hikaru didn't intend to explain things to her in just a few words. After nodding to the red-haired woman who had just opened her eyes, he slowly stood up and said, "This is not a place to stay for long. Let's talk somewhere else."

present.

Uchiha Hikaru summoned the Flying Nimbus.

While waiting for the Flying Nimbus to arrive and helping the red-haired woman onto it, several more groups of Grass Ninja, having heard the commotion, rushed towards the hospital.

But Uchiha Hikaru simply spat out a Great Fire Annihilation, which enveloped a space of nearly a hundred meters around him. The water-style ninjutsu used by a dozen or so grass ninjas at the same time was like a small splash hitting a volcano, instantly evaporated, and they themselves were burned into fire.

Grass Village was originally a small ninja village.

Erii's two "Judgments," along with the sword strike from Susanoo just now, have already killed more than half of the remaining Chunin and above ninjas in this village.

After these groups of ninja were easily wiped out, no one dared to come and cause trouble again.

With the annoying flies gone, Uchiha Hikaru used his Flying Nimbus to carry the group into the air and landed beside a picturesque stream: "Let's stay here."

"……good."

Next, Uchiha Hikaru briefly introduced his identity.

Upon learning that she was the "patriarch" of the Uchiha clan, the Uzumaki mother and daughter showed expressions of surprise mixed with awe.

"So you really are an adult from Konoha... Thank you so much for saving me!"

"No need for thanks. What are your plans for the future?"

"us……"

The mother and daughter hesitated for a moment.

Uchiha Hikaru spoke again: "If you haven't thought it through, how about you consider coming with me for now?"

Compared to Orochimaru, Uchiha Hikaru and Erii were more approachable. Coupled with the tragic experience that had happened in Kusagakure, the Uzumaki mother and daughter agreed without much hesitation.

Thus, the group heading to the Land of Fields became four people.

"...Lord Hikaru, was this cloud made using ninjutsu? It's amazing..."

"No, you can think of it as a kind of summoned beast."

"?"

"Um, is Erii-sama really not a member of the Uzumaki clan? But her hair color looks so similar to mine and my mother's!"

"Hmm... In the Sand Village of the Land of Wind, there are also a few people with red hair, so not everyone with this hair color is a member of the Uzumaki clan."

Karin was, after all, a six or seven-year-old child. Although her mother had warned her to behave herself, she couldn't help but start asking all sorts of questions.

Uchiha Hikaru casually responded with a few words, while Erii next to him would occasionally raise her notebook to join the conversation.

……

at the same time.

The village of Kusagakure has become a scene of chaos.

Two pure white Zetsu emerged from underground and looked toward the Kusagakure Hospital not far away.

"Oh dear, what a tragic scene."

"After all, they were facing the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, so it was only natural that they suffered a crushing defeat."

White Zetsu like them exist in almost every slightly larger ninja village. Because of its small size, Grass Ninja Village only had a handful of them.

It is precisely because of the existence of these informants that Black Zetsu is able to obtain relevant information in the shortest possible time after various major events occur in the ninja world.

"...Could that girl just now be Uchiha Hikaru, whom the organization is trying to find? Right now in Konoha, she should be the only one who can still activate Susanoo, and her age matches up."

"We need to tell Black Zetsu and Obito what happened here as soon as possible..."

After a brief exchange, the two White Zetsu sank back into the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

The third day after taking in the mother and daughter from the whirlpool.

Uchiha Hikaru arrived in the Land of Rice Fields.

Finding the Sound Village took some effort, as there weren't many special landmarks in the area. It wasn't until Uchiha Hikaru found out where the capital of the Land of Rice Fields was, found the daimyo there, and used "Tsukuyomi" to "ask" for the approximate address of the Sound Village.

During this time, Erii received two injections of serum to counteract the side effects of using the Word of Judgment.

Also because of the "trial incident", Erii is now completely obedient to Uchiha Hikaru. Even when eating or taking a bath, as soon as Uchiha Hikaru speaks, she immediately drops her chopsticks and comes to her side, as obedient as a kitten.

However, looking at Erii's eyes that were practically glued to him, Uchiha Hikaru felt like he was the cat...

"...How many times have I told you? Get dressed before you come out. Don't wander around while you're taking a bath, or someone will see you!"

"It's alright, Guang isn't an outsider."

Erii innocently held up her little notebook.

Hikaru Uchiha didn't want to argue with Erii about the difference between "outsider" and "insider" anymore, so he could only sigh and say helplessly, "Even if you don't consider me, there's still Aunt Misae and Karin. What if the kids see us?"

"They're not here."

The little notebook was raised again.

Uchiha Hikaru glanced to the side.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Misae Uzumaki preparing dinner in the distance.

As soon as the two women started arguing, Karin wisely ran off to help her mother gather firewood.

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru sighed, glancing helplessly at Eri's barely-clothed, snow-white appearance. He personally helped her put on her clothes, blushing and feeling his heart race for a moment as his fingertips touched her soft skin. He then went into the bathroom to tidy up before putting it back into the universal capsule.

After doing all this, the mother and daughter had prepared a meal and called her and Erii over to eat.

Karin is only a year older than Naruto, but perhaps due to her turbulent childhood, she is far more obedient and sensible than her peers. She has also shown some potential as a scientist, such as a strong thirst for knowledge.

After all, in the original storyline, she was one of Orochimaru's most outstanding assistants. If she hadn't devoted herself entirely to Sasuke, her scientific research achievements might not have been much less than Kabuto's.

Uchiha Hikaru initially only wanted to use some blood and body tissue samples from the mother and daughter to study the Uzumaki physique and see if it could be fused with the bloodline of the Uchiha clan to artificially create the Rinnegan.

But now.

She had already started thinking about whether she could train Karin to be her assistant in the ninja world.

"Karin, have you studied ninjutsu?"

"I've only learned a little bit about how to refine chakra..." Karin answered obediently.

"So, do you know anything about science?"

"?"

Karin looked completely bewildered.

Uchiha Hikaru pulled out a copy of "100,000 Whys" and handed it over: "Take a look at this first. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me. If you're interested in this area... I can help you find a mentor."
