I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 244: Naruto's Plot Goes Wild

After uploading the photos.

Uchiha Hikaru waited quietly for a while, and then saw several messages pop up in the group:

[Oni-hime: Wow, as expected of Hikari-san!]

[Brand: Um, is this the latest Teigu that Ms. Hikari and Ms. Bulma made? It looks a bit like the "Noble Chariot" that the boss mentioned, or a mini version of the "National Guardian Machine God." I just wonder how its performance is...]

[Bulma: Huh? What, do I have to do with this?]

[Bulma: Hmm...it does look a bit like one, but it shouldn't have anything to do with Teigu. It's just a simple operable robot. @AnonymousHikaru, where did you get this robot? Did you secretly keep another scientist on the side?]

【nameless:?】

[Tiger of the West: ...Speaking of which, this design looks so familiar. I think I saw it in an anime, but I can't remember what it was called.]

Upon seeing the news about Itadori Yuujin, Uchiha Hikaru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She overlooked one thing—

Most people in the group don't know anything about Gundam.

After all, no members from the Gundam world have appeared yet. Even Bulma, who is relatively well-informed, has only seen a few anime works such as "Dragon Ball," "Naruto," and "Inuyasha" that Uchiha Hikaru brought back from the Dragon World. She knows nothing about the design and meaning of this mecha and cannot understand what Uchiha Hikaru is trying to express.

Good thing...

There are still a few discerning members in the group.

Yuji Urdō is one of them.

The world of sorcery he inhabits is set in 21st-century modern society, with a cultural background extremely similar to the real world. Many classic anime works bear similar shadows, including the Gundam series. At most, the differences in the world lead to subtle variations in the plot, but the overall structure remains largely the same.

In addition, there is another group member who definitely knows this information—

[Little Monster: I know, this is a character from Mobile Suit Gundam!]

[Little Monster: Wait a minute, let me look for it. I remember asking my brother to buy this figure for me...]

[Little Monster: [Original Gundam.jpg], [Wing Zero Gundam.jpg], [Strike Freedom Gundam.jpg] The one currently in use is the one on the right, right? I absolutely love this figure!]

In the chat box.

Erii posted several photos in succession.

The photos were clearly taken on location, the technique wasn't great, and the angles were rather off.

However, because the phone itself has high specifications, it's still clearly visible that a girl in a red and white shrine maiden outfit is sitting cross-legged in a wooden room, with an entire wall of various figurines behind her. From Gundam series, Ultraman series, to Kamen Rider, Unit-01, Super Saiyan... merchandise from almost all classic anime works is available.

So far, only Uchiha Hikaru in the group has been to Erii's place and roughly knows what her room looks like.

For the others, it was basically the first time they had ever seen this scene.

Therefore, Hisahito Itadori and Miko Yotsuya, whose historical backgrounds are closest, were the first to express their surprise—

[Tiger of the West: Speaking of which, isn't Erii-san from a wealthy family? She has so many figures, including quite a few rare editions. Collecting them all must be a huge expense, right?]

[Yotsuya Miko: I remember when we went to visit the martial arts tournament a while ago, Hikari-san mentioned that Erii-san's family does indeed come from a conglomerate, and the name is...]

[Anonymous: The Eight Heroes of the Snake Clan.]

Uchiha Hikaru casually mentioned something in the group chat, and then opened and zoomed in on the photo Erii had uploaded.

Ok……

See clearly.

In the very center of that wall of figurines, at the top of the row, weren't Ultraman or monsters, but rather a row of figurines depicting black-haired girls—

Two of them were made of wood, while the rest were made of plastic. Their clothing varied in style, including blue armor, dark green ninja outfits, and T-shirts and jeans. The only common features were their deep red Sharingan eyes, their long, black hair like a hedgehog, and their slightly protruding chests.

The two wooden ones looked very familiar to Uchiha Hikaru. If I'm not mistaken, Erii must have bought them from a wood carving shop in the Uchiha compound when she first came to the Naruto world.

But the silicone figurines in the back were a bit unfamiliar.

Bulma clearly noticed this as well:

[Bulma: I just realized... those Gundams, the two rows above them, slightly towards the middle, could they all be Hikari figures?]

[Little Monster: Yeah, recently Naruto has updated to the point where Hikaru appears, and everyone loves watching it, so some manufacturers are already planning to make Hikaru figures. The ones I have at home are samples that my brother got directly from the factory; they haven't been officially released yet...]

[Anonymous: Wait a minute... what does it mean that I've made an appearance?]

[Little Monster: Huh? Hikaru doesn't know? He drew your image in the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump...]

【nameless:?】

Unable to contain his curiosity, Uchiha Hikaru asked a few more questions before gradually understanding what was going on from Erii's rambling explanation—

Ok.

It seems this was a butterfly effect caused by her going to the Dragon World.

The Dragon Clan world itself has the manga "Naruto," and by the time Erii joined the group, it had already reached the Five Kage Summit stage, where abilities such as the Sharingan and Shadow Clone Jutsu had already appeared. These abilities are not unrelated to the ones she displayed during her several trips to the Dragon Clan world; they are, in fact, exactly the same.

therefore.

The Snake Clan developed a misunderstanding about her relationship with Naruto, and driven by this misunderstanding, they captured Masashi Kishimoto from that world in an attempt to extract more information.

These actions, in turn, influenced the plot of the Naruto manga, resulting in the face beneath the vortex mask, originally belonging to Obito, being replaced by hers. And the one who instigated the Fourth Shinobi World War became her, the Uchiha clan's secret weapon.

That sounds reasonable... what a load of rubbish!

Why did a character from a side story game end up in the main story and become a masked man causing trouble everywhere?

Where did Obito go? Did he die under that giant rock during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge?

and also……

She went to be Madara Uchiha's substitute, isn't that a generation too far apart...?

Uchiha can't even make a sarcastic remark.

the other side.

As Bulma listened to Erii's description, she timely revealed an expression that seemed to thrive on chaos:

[Bulma@LittleMonster: Do you have any extra copies of those Naruto manga issues you mentioned? Upload one to me and let me see. I'm willing to pay 100 points to buy it!]

[Oni Princess: I want one too! I'll offer 150 points!]

[Yotsuya Miko: I'm here too.]

【nameless:……】

Despite Uchiha Hikaru's strong dissuasion.

Bulma eventually backed down, changing the subject from the "new Naruto" to the Gundam situation.

At that moment, Erii casually uploaded a copy of the "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY" manga and DVD that she had just found to the group store. Bulma, Yamato, and the others immediately redeemed a copy each and began to read it, exchanging and discussing it in the group chat.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Hikaru logged off and began to ponder in his mind.

She plans to take some time to visit the world of Dragon Raja to see for herself how she's depicted in the comics.

If she were simply a villainous boss, that wouldn't be a problem, but if even an absurd plot like "creating a world with Rin" were inserted into her life... then she'd probably have to go talk to Masashi Kishimoto of the Dragon Raja world.

……

This is the Red Silk Army base.

Uchiha Hikaru stopped looking at the topics in the chat group and instead controlled his mecha to descend from mid-air, pulling Esdeath along to test the device's weapon system.

According to Dr. Gro, this mech is equipped with six machine guns, with a capacity of 8,000 rounds. At full firepower, it can empty its ammunition within one and a half minutes. It also has two missile launchers for launching tactical rockets and micro missiles, capable of locking onto and precisely tracking targets at a range of three kilometers, with a final impact point error of no more than 15 centimeters.

Additionally, the mech's energy reserves can last for about a week, after which the power supply needs to be replaced or the mech needs to be recharged in 3 hours. However, if the full-power mode is activated, the power consumption will increase, and the runtime will fluctuate accordingly.

Another timeframe is the ammunition loading time. It takes 15 minutes to load all 8,000 rounds of ammunition and 12 micro missiles, during which time the mech cannot move freely.

After understanding all of this.

Hikaru Uchiha summoned Esdeath and conducted several experiments—

When facing the forty-man ice cavalry created by "General Ice Storm", a volley of machine guns only takes twenty seconds to destroy them all.

When the target becomes an ice wall that is 30 meters high and more than 1 meter thick, it takes about 45 seconds to break it.

As for the enemy being Esdeath herself...

There's nothing we can do about that.

Esdeath's strength is only slightly inferior to Uchiha Hikaru's, and she has recently developed the "Ice Demon," which is comparable to the fourth stage of Susanoo. Even if the mecha's ammunition capacity were doubled, it would be impossible to defeat an opponent whose strength far exceeds her own limits.

Overall...

This mecha's performance is definitely not comparable to a real Gundam, and it is far inferior to the "Guardian Machine God".

—The latter, as the supreme Imperial Arm of the Akame ga Kill! world, has five beam cannons in "Purge Mode" capable of obliterating a 20-kilometer radius of land with a single shot. Theoretically, even a fully-fledged Susanoo might not be able to withstand more than a few shots.

but.

As a large toy, this mecha is definitely up to standard.

Furthermore, given that it was originally a "semi-finished product," with Dr. Gro's research capabilities, it should be only a matter of time before he can upgrade it and truly reach the level of the original "Strike Freedom."

"Speaking of which, Bulma should have already made some research progress on the Orichalcos she brought back from the Akame ga Kill! world..."

"Go back and ask over there, see if we can share it with Dr. Gro..."

Uchiha Hikaru pondered this.

The overall technological level of the world of Akame ga Kill! is not high, but Orichalcos is an exception. As an alloy material capable of forging Imperial Arms like "Severing All Things," its strength is beyond doubt, making it perfect for building mechs.

It would be even better if Dr. Groh could perfectly recreate the composition and forging method of Orichalco based on Bulma's research.

As for the energy issue...

That depends on Dr. Groh himself.

After all, who knows what the workings of the "Permanent Energy Furnace" actually are? Considering that Dr. Groh in the original work didn't create Androids 17 and 18 until more than a decade later, it's probably unrealistic to think that this challenge can be overcome in just one or two years...

present.

Uchiha Hikaru stepped out of the mecha's cockpit, consulted Dr. Gero's opinion, and then stored the item in his capsule.

"...It's alright, it's just a test subject anyway, you can take it if you like, Master."

Thank you.

At this moment, Uchiha Hikaru had already begun to imagine himself piloting a more advanced Gundam and making his appearance in other worlds.

For example, could it be brought to Kassel College in the Dragon Raja world, or to the World Government in the One Piece world?

should……

You'll see some interesting scenes, right?

……

That afternoon, Uchiha Hikaru used "Shangri-La" to return to the Western Capital and then found Bulma.

At this moment, the girl was leading the Kamado family, along with Kanae Kocho and others, to play at an amusement park in the city. The large group of people looked like a tour group, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Upon seeing Uchiha Hikaru's figure.

Bulma quickly stepped forward and listened as she explained the purpose of her visit:

"...O'Haligang's research data?"

"Oh, there have indeed been some initial results in this area. They're with my dad; I'll take you to him to get them later."

Bulma casually agreed, then narrowed her eyes and revealed a mischievous smile: "Hikaru, aren't you curious about how you're drawn in the manga? How about we secretly go find Erii and see? Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped, I definitely won't tell anyone what I see."

"……Oh."

Uchiha Hikaru didn't respond, but subtly changed the subject: "You should think about forming a pirate crew first... Yamato should be going home in a few days, right? She might have to face off against her father, Kaido. If we need to go and help, we don't want anything to go wrong."

"...That's true."

Mentioning the pirate crew immediately diverted Bulma's attention: "Well, then I'll rest for another day. The day after tomorrow I'll go back and continue researching the spaceship, trying to build our pirate ship as soon as possible!"
