The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 54 Go and deal with Uchiha Hikaru.

"Please rest assured, Wu An-san, the seal on Miss Guang will be lifted soon."

Minako Uzumaki composed herself, stepped forward, and carefully observed the sealing array on the altar. Before long, she had an idea in mind.

The beautiful young woman cast hand seals, then slammed her hands onto the ground. As chakra surged, the altar lit up.

The chakra crystals resembled weathered stones, scattering blue fragments that refracted a magnificent light under the firelight.

The girl fell from the sky and landed in a warm and sturdy embrace.

The unfamiliar touch made Uchiha Hikaru instinctively tense up, his consciousness returning from a daze. Before sealing the girl who was still fighting, he subconsciously tried to mobilize the chakra within his body to attack.

As soon as she reacted, endless fatigue surged from her limbs and overwhelmed her brain. Before falling into a deep sleep, Uchiha Hikaru barely opened her eyes and saw a smiling face.

"Welcome home, Light."

(Such a warm smile...)

As Uchiha Hikaru fell unconscious, the katana in his right hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Mr. Wu'an, is Miss Guang alright?"

Seeing Uchiha Takehiro using medical ninjutsu to examine his body, Uzumaki Minako said with concern, "It would be best to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport back now and receive more comprehensive treatment at Konoha Hospital."

Then she paused, and said, "I can go back by myself."

(This is a good opportunity for me to calm down.)

Minako Uzumaki sensed that something was wrong with her, especially after Moriki Senju was locked up in the villa. Without that man who often distanced himself from her and was indifferent to her, her life seemed to have a little more sunshine.

But that's not a reason for me to have wronged him.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If I brought you here, I'll naturally take you back. I don't like being irresponsible."

Upon discovering that Uchiha Hikaru was merely unconscious from exhaustion, Uchiha Takeo glared at Uzumaki Minako. "Minako, give me your hand. I'll use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take us all out of here."

Minako Uzumaki hesitated for a moment, but still reached out her hand. Uchiha Takeo grabbed it, and before the beautiful young woman could even exclaim in surprise, the three of them appeared directly at the entrance of the cave they had just entered.

"Minako, I'll take Hikaru to the hospital first, then I'll come pick you up later."

Uchiha Muan looked at the silent Uzumaki Minako with his head down and said meaningfully, "The Land of Whirlpools is right next door. If you're feeling down, you can go back for a walk. I can sense the location of the Flying Thunder God Kunai."

"I can bring you back anytime."

After saying that, Uchiha Muan picked up the Flying Thunder God kunai from the ground and handed it to Uzumaki Minako. Without waiting for her reply, he returned to Konoha in an instant, leaving the beautiful young woman behind, looking somewhat dazed.

Minako Uzumaki looked back at her homeland in the Land of Whirlpools, her feelings a complex mix of emotions.

She arrived in the unfamiliar Hidden Leaf Village when she was just over ten years old. Then, like most of her peers, she married Senju Moriki under the arrangement of her elder, Uzumaki Mito, and had children.

If nothing unexpected happens, my life will pass by peacefully like this.

Even if Senju Moriki dislikes her, with Senju Tsunade as her support and the meaning of her life, Uzumaki Minako can accept this fate.

However, as the Uchiha clan grew stronger, Senju Moriki, who became increasingly morbid and paranoid, saw Uchiha Takehiro's powerful mother successfully ascend to the position of Third Hokage. At that time, his expression was almost that of someone who would devour another, so unfamiliar that it frightened Uzumaki Minako.

But what they shouldn't have done was take out their anger on the young Tsunade, which caused their already strained relationship to break down completely.

In her heart, Senju Moriki was already mostly dead, barely clinging to life.

At this time, the handsome, powerful, and magnanimous Hokage, who had no prejudice against the Senju clan, entered Minako Uzumaki's life. Just as she yearned for beautiful things, she instinctively developed a liking for him.

Compared to the self-pitying, moody Senju Moriki who constantly spoke of the evil and damned Uchiha clan, Minako Uzumaki felt a strong sense of contrast and couldn't help but have inappropriate fantasies.

"Yes, all fantasies should not exist."

In the vast shadow cast by the steep cliff, Minako Uzumaki gently stroked the Flying Thunder God kunai, as if she were talking to someone.

"I am the next head of the Senju family. I cannot tarnish the family's honor, nor can I let Tsunade lose face. I must become a mother that Tsunade can be proud of."

"call."

Minako Uzumaki let out a long breath, as if exhaling all the pent-up frustration and sorrow of the past years. Her beautiful blue eyes were as clear and bright as the azure sky.

Upon returning to Konoha, Uchiha Takeo carried Uchiha Hikaru straight to Konoha Hospital, where he immediately arranged for a comprehensive medical examination. He also notified the four Kage-level shinobi of his clan, including Uchiha Kazumi.

The five held a brief meeting at the hospital. The three elders of the Uchiha clan were delighted with the growth of their clan, but they couldn't help but curse the Senju clan a few times. Afterward, they returned to the clan to announce the return of Uchiha Hikari. This time, no one would use Uchiha Hikari as a weapon; she would become another powerful symbol of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha leader who remained behind, with his indifferent gaze, sent chills down Uchiha Takeoshi's spine.

"An-kun, what are your thoughts about Hikari?"

The two were sitting in Uchiha Hikaru's hospital room. Uchiha looked at the petite girl lying on the hospital bed. Her nearly 100 years of lonely and difficult life made her feel very sorry for her. She said solemnly, "An-kun, I want to hear the truth."

For the Uchiha clan, every pair of Mangekyou Sharingan is a treasure.

Especially after becoming a Kage-level expert and learning many of the clan's most closely guarded secrets, Uchiha Rinko worried that Uchiha Takeo might try to steal Uchiha Hikaru's eyes for the sake of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan's power. If such a self-destructive act were to occur, she would definitely step in to stop it.

Uchiha was absolutely certain that taking the Sharingan of a clansman who had made no mistakes and had rendered many contributions to the clan, in order to strengthen himself, was an evil act that a clan leader should never do!

As his wife, she couldn't just stand by and watch Uchiha Takeoku make a mistake without trying to stop him.

"The light is still so small, what thoughts could I possibly have?"

"Let's wait until Hikaru grows up. If she likes me, I'll marry her."

Looking at the righteous and eloquent Uchiha Takeoshi, Uchiha Rinpoche realized that he was just a fool.

The handsome appearance of this man named Uchiha Muan hides a lecherous lecher who is lecherous with his eyes open and closed.

The seemingly wise, powerful, and murderous young lord of the family in front of us is a fake.

Uchiha Rinka helplessly pressed one hand to her cheek and pointed to the door of the ward with the other. She no longer wanted to see Uchiha Takehiko's shameless face.

"Get out of here. I'll take care of this child from now on!"

"You're not allowed to interfere!"

"If you're not going to interfere, then don't interfere. Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"Let's see if you're still that loud at night."

After muttering a few words, Uchiha Takeo quickly teleported back home before Uchiha Ryosuke could reveal his Sharingan. The frivolous expression on his face turned into a deep, still pool.

"As long as there is a mark on the body, one can control the mind and chakra of anyone by connecting with it."

"The Kaleidoscope of Light [Eight Thousand Spears], can a kaleidoscope of the same level withstand it?"

"If it's really that powerful, what should I do?"

Is it murder to steal eyes? Or is it a game of raising a girl next door?

Uchiha Takeo slowly made a decision.

"For my people, love is the most lethal weapon."

"So, it's your turn to step in."

Uchiha Muan used a summoning jutsu, and after a flash of white smoke, he saw Tachibana appear. She had a small bag on her back and was saying things like "Meow, I want to run away from home."

Having roughly understood what was going on, Uchiha Takeo angrily rubbed Tachibana's chubby face and said, "Go and deal with Uchiha Hikaru."

"?"

After her first failed attempt to run away from home, a big question mark popped into Orange's mind.
