I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 422 Goal: The Stars and the Sea! (Final Chapter)

No, you're wrong.

Uchiha Hikaru shook his head: "This is not my answer, but theirs. As Kaguya's offspring, you should know better than me what the existence of those Otsutsuki means to this planet."

"..."

After a long silence, the Sage of Six Paths finally sighed: "Alright."

"While I'm not sure if the kind of 'reform' you're talking about can bring positive changes to the ninja world, it's true, as you said, that the ninja sect system, which has lasted for thousands of years, is due for a change... Do you need this old bone of mine to lend you a hand?"

"You? Hmm... never mind."

Uchiha Hikaru scrutinized the Sage of Six Paths with a critical gaze, then waved his hand: "You should save your power to maintain this Pure Land. It's better to leave the outside affairs to the people outside."

"..."

The Six Paths Immortal hesitated to speak.

Although he could sense that this "junior" possessed power that was enough to move him, he had no clear idea of ​​just how powerful that power was. However, judging from Uchiha Hikaru's words just now… it seemed he was saying that his Six Paths power was so meager as to be negligible?

As the words fell.

The surrounding void rippled once more, and Uchiha Hikaru's figure had already quietly disappeared from this space, leaving only the Sage of Six Paths looking thoughtfully at the spot where she had just stood.

……

"So, Hikaru, are you sure you're not going to make a move?"

Inside the tower of the Land of Rain.

Esdeath crossed her arms, gazing into the distance at Nagato, Konan, and the others as they departed. She turned to Uchiha Hikaru and said, "If it were you, dealing with that white-haired woman would be a simple matter, wouldn't it?"

"……really."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded slightly: "If he were in Super Saiyan form, it would probably only take one punch."

In fact...

Even in her normal state, Uchiha Hikari wouldn't need to expend much effort to deal with Kaguya. After all, Kaguya, at best, was only at the level of an elite Saiyan, far inferior to Vegeta when he first arrived on Earth. As for Uchiha Hikari now... if she wanted to, completely destroying this blue planet beneath her feet would be a matter of moments.

Looking at the "Fourth Shinobi World War" from this perspective is no different from watching children playing house.

but……

Uchiha Hikaru raised his head and looked up at the dense starry sky.

Compared to Kaguya, she was actually more interested in the "Otsutsuki God" in the starry sky.

According to the original work, this person has consumed countless chakra fruits, and his strength is powerful enough to transcend this dimension. Now his soul has gone to a higher dimension, while his body remains in this universe... If we could get our hands on him and study him, we might be able to uncover the secrets of "divine arts," or even the origin of the "Otsutsuki clan."

"Aia, do you remember what Bulma said before, about wanting to build a bigger pirate ship and sail into the stars for adventure?"

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly said.

"Um?"

Esdeath turned around, seemed to think for a moment, and nodded, saying, "I vaguely remember. What's wrong?"

"Let's start planning this adventure after things are settled in the ninja world."

Uchiha Hikaru stretched and smiled slightly: "Whether it's the Naruto world or the Dragon Ball world, we should now have the ability to explore this vast universe."

"...Okay."

Esdeath seemed to pause for a moment, then softened her tone and moved a little closer to her: "If it's with you, Hikari, I don't care where we go. But if I could have the chance to become stronger, strong enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, that would be even better."

"..."

After a brief silence, Uchiha Hikaru turned her head and met Esdeath's gaze, revealing a pure and bright smile: "Yes, I will."

Actually, back on Namek, Hikaru Uchiha had considered borrowing the Dragon Balls from the Grand Elder again to give Esdeath the "Saiyan physique." However, this plan was abandoned for various reasons. One of these reasons was that Esdeath's personality wasn't really compatible with Saiyan cells.

but……

If it were something else, that would be a different story—

"It seems that Bulma is already working on the theoretical derivation of the 'Permanent Energy Furnace'."

In the original Dragon Ball timeline, Androids 17 and 18 were just an ordinary brother and sister. It was through the "Eternal Energy Refrigerator" that they became super androids comparable to Super Saiyans.

If Bulma could create an even more perfect "energy reactor" than Dr. Groo's, and then give it to a powerful individual like Esdeath to use...

There might be some unexpected surprises.

……

For those living in the Naruto world, this was an unforgettable day.

On this day, a monster known as the "Goddess of the Rabbit" resurrected in the human world, displaying overwhelming power. Even the two current Kage, Rai and Tsuchi, were as fragile as children in front of her, and could not defeat her despite their best efforts.

It wasn't until the Fourth Hokage and his wife arrived, leading Konoha's elite forces headed by Jiraiya and Uchiha Shisui, that the situation was somewhat turned around.

After that, the two sides engaged in an unprecedented battle.

Well... to be precise, it wasn't unprecedented, after all, the battle a thousand years ago was much more intense than this one. However, for ninjas and civilians born in the ninja village era, this was the highest level of combat they could comprehend.

During the battle, countless mountains were leveled, and countless valleys rose from the ground. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, with rain and fire filling the sky... The waves that rose on the sea were thousands of meters high.

It was as if the end of the world had arrived.

At the critical moment, the Akatsuki organization from the Land of Rain, led by Nagato and Konan, joined the battle; and Madara Uchiha, who had been rumored to have been resurrected not long ago, suddenly appeared and challenged Kaguya. Under the leadership of four Kage-level warriors, tens of thousands of ninjas from various countries worked together to barely suppress Kaguya, who possessed 30% chakra, and attempted to seal this progenitor of chakra once again using "Planetary Devastation".

During this process, many people felt a strange chakra surge into their bodies, replenishing their nearly depleted energy. It seemed to originate from that red blood moon.

Only a few people who know the inside story understand where this power comes from.

after the war.

Minato Namikaze, Nagato, and Madara Uchiha, the three "big three" who distinguished themselves in the battle against Kaguya, convened the Five Kage Summit—more accurately, the "Seven-Party Talks." The Land of Rain, which was not originally part of the Five Kage, and Madara Uchiha, representing himself, were treated as separate factions.

In addition, Onoki and Ai, who were wrapped in bandages, as well as Hakura and Terumi Mei, who were temporarily taking on the roles of the Wind and Water Kage, were also present.

The meeting's agenda shifted from the "oath-taking ceremony for the attack on Konoha" that Onoki and his companion had initially planned to hold, to a discussion about the "plan to establish a new ninja world government."

Given the overwhelming strength displayed by Minato and his companions, far exceeding their own, and the formidable threat posed by the Otsutsuki clan, even the two Kage, known for their unyielding stance, had no choice but to yield and agree to the new government's proposed plan. The Ninja Clan system, which had continued for nearly a thousand years since the time of the Sage of Six Paths, officially came to an end.

Although there are still many problems and crises to be resolved.

but……

These were not things that Uchiha Hikaru cared about.

She is currently in West City of the Dragon Ball world, where she is working with Bulma and Esdeath to devise a plan for the "Dimensional Interstellar Pirates" expedition, while also recruiting crew members who want to participate in this adventure through a chat group.

[Yamato: Huh? So the "Interstellar Pirate Crew" that Bulma mentioned is finally going to be formed? Count me in! I've been here so long, I can't even find anyone to fight with, I'm about to die of boredom!]

[Little Monster: +1]

[Iron-Headed Kid: I should be fine. Lately, the Demon Slayer Corps has been getting fewer and fewer missions. I heard from the Master that the Demon Slayer Corps might be completely disbanded after a while... By the way, I should be able to bring Nezuko and the others along this time, right?]

[Yuji Itadori: It's a pity I'm currently preparing for the Level 1 Jujutsu Master exam at the Jujutsu High School, otherwise I would definitely go and join in the fun.]

[Yotsuya Miko: I'm also preparing for my final exams, but if it's a weekend or a holiday, I'd still love to go see Hikari and Bulma.]

Besides Minato Namikaze, who is reforming the new government in the Naruto world, Brand, who is causing a revolution in the One Piece world, and Kikyo, who is working day and night on medical research at Vegapunk Research Institute, the other group members also provided feedback, which helped to determine the initial crew of the "Starship Crew".

Bulma: Hehe, then let's set our departure date for today, a month from now. We'll have a water-entry ceremony like we do in the One Piece world, and then we'll set off. Hmm... how about we start our first stop with Hikari?

Anonymous: No problem.

in reality.

Uchiha Hikaru stretched, set aside the "crew roster" she had just finished, and then, under the watchful eyes of the two blue-haired women beside her, got up and went to the window. Her bright eyes looked past the slender figure of the girl in front of the French windows and gazed at the distant sky.

The sun is shining brightly, and the time of year is perfect.

For the "Dimensional Group," who already possess the cutting-edge technology of various worlds, they have ample time and lifespan to experiment with and explore the secrets of each world, after all...

The future is still long.
