I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 20 Plan

In fact, the technological level of the Dragon Ball world is quite skewed.

Even though a skilled craftsman could create a revolutionary capsule, this groundbreaking technology couldn't cure Sun Wukong's viral heart disease.

Although a cure did eventually appear, it was developed by Bulma many years after Goku died, and Trunks then used a time machine to send him back in time.

Therefore, the bloodline disease inherited by the Uchiha clan is also the same.

Theoretically, if Dr. Brief were given enough time to conduct his research, it would be possible to create a cure. However, the exact timeframe is difficult to define; ideally, it would take at least one or two years. Furthermore, unless Uchiha Hikaru completely refrains from using Amaterasu and Susanoo, no matter how sparingly she uses them, her eyesight will inevitably deteriorate significantly.

—Actually, there's another way: clone another Uchiha Hikari, gouge out her eyes, and replace them with those of the original Uchiha Hikari, allowing her to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. However, this involves ethical issues, and even if she proposed it, Bulma and her father might not agree.

and so……

The best solution is to ask the dragon for a wish!

"It's alright, this kind of thing can't be resolved in a short time anyway, let's go find the Dragon Balls first!"

Uchiha Hikaru took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said to Bulma.

Bulma paused for a moment, then said, "Eh, don't you need to rest for a few more days...?"

"It's alright. Ninjas are physically very strong; this little injury will heal on the way. Bulma, aren't you going back to school after summer vacation? It would be troublesome if you couldn't find the Dragon Balls before school starts!"

After repeated hints from Hikaru Uchiha, Bulma finally realized, "That's right, the Dragon Balls! The Dragon Balls can grant any wish. As long as you go and wish to the Dragon Balls to heal your eyes, it should be fine, right?"

"But Bulma, didn't you want to make a wish...?"

"I just want a boyfriend, that's all. It's not urgent, waiting another year is fine!"

Bulma, on the other hand, began to persuade Hikaru Uchiha: "On the contrary, Hikaru, you are at risk of going blind at any time, so you absolutely cannot delay!"

"……Oh well."

After several more rounds of arguing, Uchiha Hikaru "reluctantly" agreed, then turned his back to Bulma and gave her a sly smile.

Plans are in place!

Strictly speaking, Uchiha Hikaru didn't exactly trick Bulma.

Even without her intervention, Bulma wouldn't have been able to make her wish this time. According to the original storyline, Oolong ultimately stole the opportunity and wished for "a pair of women's underwear." Rather than wasting a precious opportunity on such a trivial wish, it would have been better to leave it to her; she might have been able to make a difference.

That's what they say...

But Hikaru Uchiha still felt somewhat guilty for deceiving people.

"By the way, Bulma."

"When I entered the Dragon Ball world this time, I saw some fragmented scenes that might be related to you... no, to our journey. And they're from the future, happening in the near future. Would you like to hear them?"

……

At Bulma's insistence, the journey to find the Dragon Balls was postponed for a few days.

In the past few days, Uchiha Hikaru was dragged by Bulma to see Dr. Brief for several detailed full-body examinations, and some blood samples and skin tissue were collected.

As she had expected, Dr. Brief also failed to find the cause of the bloodline disease, but promised to help with the research.

the other side.

As previously agreed, Minato Namikaze began to consider teaching Hikaru Uchiha ninjutsu.

This battle with the Root ninjas made Uchiha Hikaru realize two very important issues—

First, her strength relies too heavily on the Mangekyou Sharingan.

As a "human weapon" from the Warring States period, Uchiha Hikari's overall strength is not weak. In a one-on-one battle, there are only a handful of people in Konoha who can truly pose a life threat to her—Jiraiya in Sage Mode, Uchiha Shisui who has also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and Guy with Eight Gates... But all of this is on the premise that she uses the eye techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

If she doesn't use the Sharingan, her fighting style becomes quite rudimentary. Only her powerful fire-style technique, which involves throwing bricks, meets the standards of a Kage-level fighter. She lacks other skills.

such as--

She can't even use shadow clones!

That's right.

Shadow Clone Jutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique, Eight Gates, Impure World Reincarnation… many of these ninjutsu commonly seen in the original Naruto storyline only appeared after the establishment of the one-country-one-village system. In particular, the white-haired Hokage, who was inherently at odds with the Uchiha clan, made a significant contribution by single-handedly expanding Konoha's list of forbidden techniques.

Living in the early Warring States period, Uchiha Hikaru could not possibly have been prescient enough to learn these ninjutsu techniques that appeared after he was buried alive.

Second, there's the "version update".

Just like in MOBA games, you need to change your tactics depending on the version.

Hikari Uchiha's counter-tracking awareness was still stuck in the Warring States period, which was somewhat outdated compared to the present era. That's why she was caught by those Root ninjas earlier. Moreover, based on her post-event review, she felt that she should have dealt with those guys much more easily and in a shorter time, and shouldn't have ended up in such a mess.

In conclusion, Hikaru Uchiha felt that he still had a lot of room for improvement.

Although they "borrowed" a wish from Bulma, it remains to be seen whether Shenron from the Dragon Ball world can cure the bloodline disease in the Naruto world.

In order to avoid any special circumstances in the future that would prevent her from using the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques, Uchiha Hikaru needs to improve her basic abilities and learn about the new things that have been developed and summarized by countless ninjas over the past few decades.

[Eternal Sister: ...In that case, I think I understand what's troubling you, Hikari-san.]

[Yongdai-mei: Since we can't meet in person, I'll ask you some detailed questions so I can tailor a learning plan to suit you. Rushing into learning a new ninjutsu that's unsuitable for you would be a waste of time and energy, resulting in less effective learning.]

[Anonymous: No problem, I will answer truthfully.]

[Eternal Sister: Also, I have a personal suggestion. I've heard some things about the Sharingan before I died. It's said that while the Mangekyou Sharingan is incredibly powerful, it's also a cursed ability. Each use puts a heavy burden on the body and can even cause vision loss. Therefore, I personally suggest that you don't rely too much on the Sharingan, but instead focus on developing abilities other than your eye techniques.]

[Anonymous: Yeah, that's what I think too.]

happy new year~
