I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 38 The Uchiha Clan Pays Homage to Their Great-Grandmother!

Hikaru Uchiha had no idea that so many people in Konoha Village were losing sleep over her that night.

After getting a good night's sleep and spending the whole day building a snowman with Naruto, she relaxed her tense mind and began to focus her attention back on training.

I have to say...

The Shadow Clone Technique is so convenient!

Considering his own chakra reserves and mental capacity, Uchiha Hikaru created three shadow clones: one to train in "ki" and aerial techniques, one to refine chakra, one to go out and train in taijutsu, and himself to explore the abilities of the "Eight Thousand Spears." Then, every night when he dispelled the clones, he could enjoy the fulfilling feeling of his brain being filled with four times the amount of knowledge.

Because of the blessing of dual souls, she was able to digest and absorb this knowledge quickly, without any side effects other than a little fatigue.

And this fatigue can be eliminated with just a few more hours of sleep.

Naruto, watching from the side, was a little envious. He started to tentatively ask her during the meal if she could teach him ninjutsu.

[Nameless: Fourth Hokage, what do you think?]

[Yongdai Mei: Well... Naruto is still too young. Starting to learn ninjutsu so early might not be a good thing. Besides, he still has the Nine-Tails' chakra interfering with him. Even if he knows how to refine chakra, learning it might not be very smooth.]

[Nameless: If needed, I can speak with Kurama.]

With Hikaru Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan power, seeing Kurama (the Nine-Tails) wouldn't be difficult.

The difficulty lies in persuading the Nine-Tails.

Minato Namikaze wasn't very confident about this.

He also has half of the Nine-Tails on his side, which he brought into the Shinigami's belly using the Reaper Death Seal. They've been together for over four years, and they still end up arguing whenever they talk.

Uchiha Hikaru did have some ideas.

—She has the entire content of 700 episodes of Shippuden in her mind. As long as she extracts these memories and passes them on to Kurama, it won't be difficult for it to understand Naruto as its Jinchūriki. Who knows, it might even be able to bring Kurama's Chakra Mode to life ahead of schedule in a few days.

but……

It is indeed a bit early.

After all, Naruto is only four or five years old, hasn't even attended the Ninja Academy yet, his body is still developing, and his values ​​haven't been formed. Possessing such great power at this age might cause him to lose himself.

[Anonymous: Let's talk about it again in a couple of years. Next time I go for my morning run, I'll call him along and have him train his physical skills first.]

[Nameless: Also, Fourth Hokage, could you please give me some pointers on sealing techniques?]

[Eternal Girl: Sealing Technique?]

[Nameless: Hmm, I'd like to try bringing the "demons" from Tanjiro's world back to the Naruto world for some research, to see if we can find a way to turn demons back into humans faster. However, many demons' Blood Demon Arts are very strange, so I might have to seal them away first before taking them elsewhere.]

[Yongdai: ...Alright then, I'll teach you a few simpler sealing techniques first. Although sealing techniques aren't exactly advanced ninjutsu, they still require some talent and relatively precise chakra control. They're a bit more difficult to learn than shadow clones, so you'll need to be patient and take it slowly.]

Anonymous: Okay.

Meanwhile, Tanjiro also reported on his recent situation in the group chat.

[Iron-Headed Kid: Hikari-san, Bulma-san, and Eternal Sister-in-Law, I've passed the Demon Slayer Corps' final trial!]

[Ironhead: Just like Hikari-san said, there really is a very powerful demon on that mountain. Before me, 13 of Urokodaki's disciples had already been killed by it! Luckily, I trained for two more months as Hikari-san advised, and that's how I managed to defeat it. Now, Hideaki-sensei is forging my Nichirin Blade. Once I get the blade, I can go out and take on missions!]

[Bulma: Congratulations! But what is a Nichirin Blade?]

[Nameless: A weapon used exclusively by the Demon Slayer Corps. It is said to be made from "Gorilla Crimson Sand Iron" and "Gorilla Crimson Ore," which can absorb sunlight. Only by severing the heads of demons with this blade can they be killed.]

Bulma: ?

Bulma: What is all this...?

To be honest, Hikaru Uchiha didn't really know what these two kinds of minerals were either.

This is also why she suspects that pure ultraviolet light might not be able to cause fatal damage to the "ghost".

—Judging from the composition of the Nichirin Blade, it's possible that the sunlight in the Demon Slayer world contains a component that could be named "Gorilla Crimson Ray".

[Bulma: If that's the case, I'll probably have to bring a few more spectrometers... Hikari, you're not in a rush to go to the Demon Slayer world, are you? I might need some more time to prepare all this equipment. Also, the ultraviolet lamps we talked about last time might need some further improvements.]

[Nameless: No rush, I need to learn sealing techniques first.]

After chatting for a few more minutes, Bulma logged off to attend her class.

Well... speaking of which, she's the only student among the four group members.

There's a reason why they have the highest IQ.

Uchiha Hikaru also turned his attention back to reality and vaguely heard someone knocking on the door in the hallway outside.

dong dong dong-

In the next bedroom, Naruto seemed to have heard the noise as well, and began to rustle as he got dressed.

After glancing out the window, Uchiha Hikaru nimbly jumped off the bed and walked to the entrance of the living room.

Who is it?

As the door opened.

Kakashi, with his white hair, came into view.

Uchiha Hikaru raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

Kakashi glanced at Naruto, who was peeking out of the inner bedroom, then spoke in a deep voice, "Miss Hikari, could you please speak to me privately?"

"?"

"Several residents of Konoha Village are determined to visit you and are currently downstairs. If you have a spare moment, could you perhaps spare a little time to let them meet with you...?"

Listening to Kakashi's vague explanation.

Uchiha Hikaru was a little confused.

But she still took two steps outside and, following Kakashi's gaze, looked towards the corridor next door.

There stood a dozen or so figures of varying heights.

This group included both men and women. Some wore dark green Konoha ninja vests, while others wore dark kimonos. The only thing they had in common was that they all wore red and white billiard paddle patterns, which were the Uchiha clan crests!

Upon seeing Uchiha Hikari, all the Uchiha clan members knelt down in unison, prostrating themselves completely, and then loudly proclaimed, "The current head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, along with his juniors Shisui, Yatsushiro, Mikoto, and others, pay their respects to our great-grandmother!"

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru was stunned.

She's seen her share of big events.

But this scene before her eyes... she had never seen anything like it before!
