I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 44 Re-entering the Dragon Ball World

"..."

Fugaku and the elders exchanged glances, and in the end, they all chose to remain silent.

Well...

This feeling is quite peculiar.

Aside from his slightly smaller face, Uchiha Hikaru's strength, seniority, and the decisive style he exudes in his words and actions actually fit the image of a strong leader in their ideal—well, basically, the Uchiha Madara they imagined.

Although no clansmen were willing to leave with Madara Uchiha when he broke with the First Hokage and defected from Konoha, this doesn't stop the current Uchiha from occasionally reminiscing about their glorious era when they were revered and respected by all the clans of Konoha. They even begin to miss the early Warring States period that Hikaru Uchiha fabricated, where "dozens of clansmen could activate Susanoo."

Anyway, no matter what.

If anything goes wrong, this great-grandmother will take care of it, and the Uchiha clan's current situation is already bad enough, it can't get any worse.

After confirming that Uchiha Hikaru had no further instructions, several elders gathered around the table and discussed in hushed tones how to implement their great-grandmother's will within the clan.

the other side.

Uchiha Hikaru took a few sips of tea and beckoned, "Fugaku, come here."

Fugaku paused for a moment, then quickly walked over: "Great-Grandma?"

"I need you to do something for me, but please try not to make a big fuss about it."

……

Although he didn't quite understand why Uchiha Hikari suddenly demanded blood samples from the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku still carried out her orders.

Then, three days later, he handed a scroll and a manual to Uchiha Hikaru.

"Great-Grandmother, this scroll contains blood and skin samples from seventy-one clansmen. I took these samples from clansmen of different ages, genders, and those whose Sharingan were activated, as instructed by you. Important information such as the time when their Sharingan awakened has also been recorded in the manual and can be compared with the labels one by one."

In addition, there are blood samples from two clansmen who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Please keep them safe and do not let them fall into the hands of those with malicious intent.

"I will keep that in mind."

Uchiha Hikaru took the scroll, then glanced at Fugaku: "Two blood samples from the Mangekyou Sharingan, one from Uchiha Shisui, and who's the other?"

Could it be...?

"be mine."

Fugaku Uchiha glanced to both sides and whispered, "My Mangekyou Sharingan was awakened during the Third Shinobi World War. Because I was worried about my clansmen's potential drastic actions, I didn't tell them about it. Please keep this a secret..."

"Um?"

Uchiha Hikaru was slightly taken aback.

She was initially somewhat skeptical.

After all, the current Uchiha clan leader had never revealed his eye techniques since their first encounter, and in the original timeline, he died without even a hint of resistance at the hands of his own son. Unexpectedly…

He really is a kaleidoscope?

To be fair, Fugaku's ability to endure is truly impressive; even Uchiha Hikaru is a little curious about what his eye technique is...

the other side.

Fugaku tentatively asked, "Grandma, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to return to live in the clan? We have prepared a house for you. It is very large, and all kinds of furniture have been purchased. We have people cleaning it every day. If you want, you can stay there anytime."

"Let's talk about it in a few days. I need to leave for a while to visit a friend."

Uchiha Hikaru thought for a moment: "I'm not sure when I'll be back this time. It could be three to five days, or it could be one or two weeks... First, do what I told you before and go negotiate with the Third Hokage. If you encounter a man wearing a vortex-shaped mask who calls himself 'Uchiha Madara' near the clan's territory during this time, be careful. You can pretend to cooperate with him for now, and we can discuss it in detail when I return."

"Uchiha Madara?!"

Fugaku's eyes widened suddenly, his entire face contorted with fear: "You mean the one who fought the First Hokage in the Valley of the End? He's still alive?!"

"That's just what he calls himself."

Uchiha Hikaru casually remarked, "Besides, even if it were the real Madara, he'd just be a junior like you in front of me. As the clan leader, are you really that impatient?"

"...Grandma is right."

……

On the same day he received the blood sample, Uchiha Hikaru went back to say hello to Naruto, and then traveled from Naruto's house into the Dragon Ball world.

As planned, we found Dr. Brief and gave him half of the sample from the scroll.

—The other half is intended for Dr. Gro, but that part of the plan can only be carried out after we subdue that guy next year.

Then, Uchiha Hikaru spent half a day explaining in detail to Dr. Brief the origins of the Uchiha clan and the formation process of the "Mangekyou Sharingan".

And with great care, he handed over the three samples separately.

Shisui, Naruto, Sasuke.

The sample from Shisui was an unexpected bonus, since Uchiha Hikaru had only mentioned it casually at first and never expected to actually collect his blood sample.

And Naruto and Sasuke...

It was Uchiha Hikaru who secretly collected the blood samples. With her abilities, secretly collecting blood samples from two children was a piece of cake.

Excluding the Otsutsuki family, the only person in the Naruto world with a pair of Rinnegan was Madara Uchiha, but he had been dead for many years. As for Nagato, who inherited those eyes, Hikaru Uchiha couldn't contact him for the time being—even if he could, it wouldn't be of much use, because Nagato was merely the host of the Rinnegan and was still of the Uzumaki clan bloodline, so studying his genetic sequence wouldn't be very meaningful.

Therefore, we can only use the genes of this generation of Asuras and Indras to see if we can find some ideas for advancing to the Six Realms.

Having troubled Dr. Brief several times, Hikaru Uchiha felt a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to ask if there was anything he could do to help.

Dr. Brief, however, was unconcerned: "It's alright. You and Bulma are friends, and it's only natural for friends to help each other. Besides, the blood samples you provided, and what you said about 'bloodline limits' and 'Sharingan' are things I've never heard of before. For someone like me who is passionate about scientific research, being able to explore these unknown areas is a pleasure in itself."

"If you really want to do something, please help me protect Bulma. After all, she's always loved adventure, and her mother and I are always worried about her safety."

"it is good."

After talking with Dr. Brief, Uchiha Hikaru was immediately dragged by Bulma to another laboratory.

"Come on, Xiao Guang, take a look at my latest ultraviolet weapon research."
