I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 78 Oh dear, are you blushing? (Please continue reading~)

Demanding the Yin Seal was a sudden idea that came to Hikaru Uchiha after he met Tsunade.

But learning Yin-Yang Escape was a plan that had been in the works for a long time—

She had exchanged some knowledge about Yin-Yang Release with Minato Namikaze in the group, but the information she obtained through the conversation was not comprehensive or systematic enough.

Moreover, she couldn't just wait for Dr. Brief's research to make progress; she also had to try to develop and improve the Kaleidoscope's abilities herself, and even upgrade and evolve it to a higher level of Bloodline Limit.

To achieve these goals, a thorough understanding of Yin-Yang Escape is essential.

It would be best to visit the Konoha Archives.

In addition, the training materials accumulated by the Uchiha clan over the past few decades can also be collected and reviewed.

(It's a pity I can't access the Yamanaka clan's ninjutsu records. If I could figure out how the Mind Transfer Technique works, it might be very helpful in developing my control over the "Eight Thousand Spears"...)

Uchiha Hikaru pondered to himself.

the other side.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, "Okay. But just like last time, you can only read it in the archives and cannot take the book out... and the reading time is limited to two days."

"no problem."

Uchiha Hikaru didn't care.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, "two days" was already a huge limitation. Even the most observant person with the best memory could only read seven or eight scrolls at most.

But she doesn't need to read them all; she just needs to take pictures of all the books and scrolls she can access and send them to the group chat.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly left.

He needed to deal with Tsunade's return to the village and Danzo's serious injury as soon as possible.

Uchiha Hikaru narrowed his eyes as he watched him walk away.

She didn't reveal during their conversation that the Fourth Mizukage had been controlled by Obito. After all, there was no basis for this information, and things that are too easily obtained are often taken for granted. It was better to let Konoha find out for themselves.

Until this point.

Bulma touched Uchiha Hikari and began to ask her in a low voice about the identity of the old man from earlier.

"...Eh, so 'Eternal Belt Girl' means 'Fourth Hokage'? This village has only been established for 50 years, and it's already had four Hokage?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded: "This place is unlike yours, where there is only one country on the entire planet. Instead, there are five great nations standing side by side, with many smaller countries sandwiched in between. Conflicts over territory and resources occur frequently, and war has never stopped. The average lifespan of most ninjas is probably only forty or fifty years old, and it is extremely rare for someone to live past the age of Hiruzen Sarutobi."

In the Warring States period, where I lived, the average lifespan was less than thirty years, and many children died on the battlefield as young as six or seven.

"..."

Bulma pouted, and when she looked up again, the smile on her face had faded, and her gaze towards Uchiha Hikaru held a hint of pity.

"...No, why are you looking at me like that? It's like I'm about to die too."

Uchiha Hikaru felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. If you're interested in the history of the ninja world, Bulma, I'll find some history books for you to read later. Now... let's go get some barbecue. You've come all this way, we should celebrate properly."

"……good."

……

That evening.

Hikaru Uchiha and Bulma slept in the same bed.

—After all, Naruto's house is only so big, and her bedroom is only about ten square meters. It would be a bit of a hassle to put another bed in there, and they couldn't really let Bulma sleep on the floor.

Because he was only thirteen years old, Uchiha Hikaru was quite petite, less than 1.6 meters tall, so he could squeeze in and sleep comfortably.

only……

When he saw Bulma, clean and smelling of shower gel, sitting in bed wearing only her underwear, he patted the edge of the bed to let her in.

Uchiha Hikaru still felt a burning sensation in his face.

"Oh my, Hikaru, are you blushing?"

Bulma seemed to have discovered something new: "Didn't we sleep together when we were searching for the Dragon Balls? Why are you being shy now?"

"We didn't sleep in the same bed that time, we just shared a room..."

Uchiha Hikaru gently corrected him.

"There's not much difference. Besides, we're both girls, are you afraid I'll do anything to you?"

Bulma seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly revealed a mischievous expression: "Hey, Hikaru, aren't you only 13 years old? How do you know all that stuff! Did you secretly read those kinds of books? I never would have guessed..."

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru chose not to respond.

Of course she understood what Bulma was saying—in terms of theoretical knowledge in that area, she had probably read more before her transmigration than Bulma could imagine.

It's just that I have practical experience that's practically zero...

By the way, what does "I've also seen it" mean?

"Okay, okay, stop fooling around. If Naruto next door hears us, he'll think we're doing something naughty."

Bulma teased for a while, then coughed lightly and lowered her voice: "It's already very warm in bed, come in and sleep. I'd like you to take me for a walk around the village tomorrow."

"Hmm... Go to sleep."

Hikaru Uchiha, wearing her pajamas, crawled into bed.

After saying goodnight to Bulma, she turned off the lights, and the two lay close together and fell asleep.

Silent all night.

The next morning.

After finishing breakfast at home, Uchiha Hikari created several shadow clones. While maintaining the "Breathing Technique: Normal Mode," they trained each clone in various skills, including swordsmanship, ninjutsu, sealing techniques, Rasengan, and aerial maneuvers. Meanwhile, her main body, accompanied by Bulma, toured the village.

Hokage Rock, Naka River, Ninja Academy...

With the identity of "Great-Grandmother Uchiha" in front of him, Uchiha Hikaru could basically move freely in Konoha Village, except for the private residences of those ninja clans.

Occasionally, she would encounter a few members of the security forces patrolling the streets, who would bow and greet her.

While passing through the hot spring town, Bulma wanted to go in for a soak, but was stopped by Uchiha Hikaru.

"Huh, why?"

Bulma was a little puzzled: "In this weather, soaking in a hot spring would be really nice, wouldn't it?"

"...Do you still remember Master Roshi?"

"You mean that lecherous old man?"

Bulma paused for a moment before she remembered.

Uchiha Hikaru nodded: "Actually, the Third Hokage you met before was also a lecherous old man. And in this village, there's another lecherous guy who loves to peep... Next time I go to the Land of Hot Springs, I'll invite you to come and soak in the hot springs together."

……

"Achoo!"

The Senju clan's stronghold.

It is located in the very center of a mansion.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya sneezed at the same time.

Opposite the stone table.

Tsunade protected the sake bottle and cup in front of her with both hands, and shrank back, showing a disgusted expression.

The second batch of group members has been selected and should be announced soon, so everyone can look forward to it!
