I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 70 The Technique of Concealing Mist and the Corpse Bone Pulse

Hikaru Uchiha did not tell Minato Namikaze that the masked man who claimed to be Madara was actually Obito.

Because it doesn't make any sense.

After Obito turned to the dark side, he was basically no different from a stranger to Minato Namikaze. His personality, abilities, and goals were all completely different. Even his IQ had increased slightly, otherwise he wouldn't have been unrecognized during the Nine-Tails' night.

Kamui's ability is one of the most overpowered among the Mangekyou Sharingan techniques.

—Judging from the original storyline, the "Kamui Dimension" seems to possess a certain spatial teleportation ability, meaning the coordinates of entry and exit can be different. Obito's infiltration through the Konoha barrier likely utilized this ability. If he truly intended to hide, finding him would be no less difficult than finding Muzan Kibutsuji.

Unless we gouge out Kakashi's left eye, find an Uchiha to attach it to, and try to develop the Kamui eye technique.

Alternatively, Minato Namikaze could travel over himself and use the Flying Thunder God Technique seal he left on Obito.

Uchiha Hikaru did mention this latter idea once in the group chat.

but……

[Yongdai Mei: ...My "time travel" function does work, but there's a warning about unknown risks. If you travel recklessly, unpredictable risks may occur, so it's best to be cautious unless absolutely necessary.]

[Anonymous: Okay.]

Unknown risks... Could it mean that a soul without a physical body might not be able to exist stably in the normal world?

Or, problems might arise when returning from the real world to the Grim Reaper's womb, such as the Grim Reaper noticing something.

Uchiha Hikari has never died, so she doesn't know what it's like to be inside a Shinigami's stomach. Right now, she's thinking about whether she should try to clone a body for Namikaze Minato after she subdues Dr. Gero or Orochimaru.

While she was communicating with Minato Namikaze through a chat group.

the other side.

Members of the security forces searching the area also noticed her and Uchiha Fugaku.

"Lord Fugaku, Great-Grandma, you've arrived!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a girl in a police uniform ran over quickly. Her long, smooth black hair and the beauty mark under her right eye made Uchiha Hikaru recognize her immediately.

"spring?"

"Greetings, Great-Grandma!"

As Izumi bowed, another girl beside her also bowed respectfully: "Hana, a junior of the Inuzuka clan, greets Hikaru-senpai."

Inuzuka Flower?

Uchiha Hikaru turned his head and glanced at it.

The girl was quite pretty, about the same age as Izumi, with short brown hair and dark red tooth-shaped paint on her cheeks. She was accompanied by three similar-looking gray puppies, wagging their tails and sniffing around.

(Among the twelve main characters, Kiba Inuzuka's older sister...?)

Compared to Kiba Inuzuka, who was not particularly noticeable among the new generation, Hikaru Uchiha was more concerned about the girl's clothes.

"Are you also a member of the security forces?"

In response to Uchiha Hikaru's question, Inuzuka Hana's attitude became even more respectful: "Yes, I am a genin who just joined the security force in the last week or two. Izumi is a good friend of mine, and she had mentioned your deeds before I joined. It is a great honor to meet you now."

They are quite polite.

Uchiha Hikaru casually asked, "Did you find anything?"

"We found some fresh tracks at the forest entrance on the other side of the waterfall, which look like they were left by someone. My mother has already taken some of the team and gone after them, leaving us to continue searching nearby. If we find anything, we'll contact you via signal flare..."

Before Inuzuka Hana could finish speaking...

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in the distance.

Then came a loud "bang" that traveled through the air.

Under the watchful eyes of Uchiha Hikaru and the others, a red firework exploded in the sky above the distant forest, marking the location of the other party.

"It was a signal flare from my mother!"

"Let's go take a look!"

Inuzuka Hana's three ninja dogs led the way, followed by Fugaku, Izumi, and several other members of the ANBU and security forces who had gathered from the surrounding area.

Uchiha Hikaru used the Flying Technique to leap into the air, roughly determine the direction, and then flew over the dense forest, which was thirty or forty meters high, quickly overtaking Fugaku and the others below.

When we were still one or two kilometers away from the location of the signal flare.

Then I saw a thick fog spreading through the forest, enveloping all the trees and people within a hundred meters, as if a pure white world had been separated in the forest.

"This is... the Hidden Mist Technique of Kirigakure?"

As Uchiha Hikaru approached the edge of the dense fog, he slowed down, activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, and scanned downwards as much as he could.

To be honest, the fog was far too thick; even at such close range, she couldn't see anything inside. She could only faintly smell the stench of blood through the occasional gust of wind, suggesting a battle was taking place inside.

Just as Uchiha Hikaru was about to use Wind Release or Fire Release to disperse some of the mist.

A faint killing intent suddenly emanated from the thick fog below—

"Corpse Bone Pulse - Ten Fingers Piercing Bullet!!"

Whoosh! !

At that moment, dozens of "bullets" made of bones pierced through the thick fog with a sharp whooshing sound and shot into the air.

Faced with a sudden attack.

Uchiha Hikari merely tilted her head slightly, allowing the bone bullets to whiz past her, the wind they created lifting the strands of hair on her forehead.

but……

This is just the beginning.

The next moment, two burly Kaguya clan ninjas with ugly topknots leaped from the tree trunks on either side, soaring into the air like two gorillas. Their bodies moved through the air, and sharp, white bone spikes ripped through their skin, hurtling towards Uchiha Hikaru like hedgehogs.

"Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Willow!!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!!"

As Uchiha Hikaru formed hand seals and exhaled, a fierce gust of wind exploded in mid-air, blasting the two Kaguya clan members aside and temporarily clearing a corner of the thick fog. While suspended in mid-air, Uchiha Hikaru could vaguely see the two groups locked in combat below.

One group were Konoha ninjas.

Some were wearing dark green police uniforms, others wore gray-white ANBU vests. They had already suffered heavy casualties, with only a handful still resisting. Among them, a black wolfhound stood out, presumably the Kuro-maru from the Inuzuka clan.

Meanwhile, another group of people...

There were about a dozen of them, none of them wearing headbands, but their identities could be clearly identified from the bloodline limits displayed by some of them.

People from Kirigakure!
