"Kirigakure...are you from the Kaguya clan?"

Uchiha Hikaru thought.

In the original plot, the Kaguya clan launched a rebellion around this time.

That's why she had the idea to go to the Kingdom of Water and bring Kimimaro back. After all, after this rebellion, the Kaguya clan was almost completely wiped out. If no external force intervened, Kimimaro might also have died in the pursuit of the Kirigakure Anbu.

the other side.

Orochimaru was a little surprised: "So, does Master Guang also have an informant in the Kingdom of Water?"

"you guess."

Uchiha Hikaru's "eyeliner" is actually the cartoonist from another world.

But there is no need to explain these to Orochimaru.

Facing such subordinates with great abilities and ambitions, it is better to maintain an unfathomable image.

Orochimaru did not dwell on this topic, and explained a few words concisely and concisely——

Kirigakure Village is indeed going to be in civil strife.

But things have changed a bit.

In the original timeline, the rebellion of the Kaguya clan was mainly due to the blood mist policy. After all, when Obito was in charge of Kirigakure, he almost frantically cleaned up the various blood families in the village. First, the Minazuki family was wiped out, and then Kaguya, Oniden, Terumi and other families were also frequently suppressed. Anyone with a little discernment can see that. , extermination is a matter of time.

In this timeline, Obito launched an attack on Konoha to divert internal conflicts, which was originally a clever move.

but……

Both attacks failed.

Kirigakure made two attacks, with Kaguya's clan being the main force. However, he hit Uchiha Hikaru once and Shisui once. Many people died and no loot was obtained. Instead, he was questioned by people sent by the daimyo of Konoha and Water Country, which made him anxious.

As a result, the Kaguya clan burst out with strong dissatisfaction with the decision-making of Kirigakure Village. Its leader, Kaguya Hiromitsu, believed that the current Mizukage was insufficient, and publicly expressed his desire to take the position himself and make Kirigakure great again.

This rebellion has not actually happened yet.

However, in view of the information from the secret agent, which mentioned that the Kaguya clan had recently summoned the clan members, Orochimaru believed that they were likely to launch a riot in the near future, so he decided to go there in advance.

"...I have some properties in the Kingdom of Water that may be affected by this turmoil, so I want to leave the Sound Ninja Village for a while to deal with it.

But Kotsu-sama, don’t worry, because during this period, I will leave a shadow clone to continue researching ways to treat Miss Eri. Xiang Lu and Zhong Wu can also learn from the shadow clone first. I will rush back as soon as possible after the matters in the Kingdom of Water are settled. "

Orochimaru said this.

However, Uchiha Hikaru's expression was a little strange: Are you sure you want to sort out the property, not abduct children?

of course……

It is also possible that Orochimaru's plan to abduct Kimimaro was not planned in advance, but was a decision made after entering the Kingdom of Water and observing the situation. So he may not even know it at the moment.

"How long are you going?"

"About a month and a half."

Kirigakure Village is located in the Kingdom of Water, thousands of miles away. It is separated from several other countries by the sea. Even with the ninja's footsteps, it takes about a week to get there. With the round trip and the time spent doing things in between, one and a half months is pretty fast.

Uchiha Hikari pondered for a moment: "...Okay, then you can go ahead with peace of mind."

Seeing that she simply agreed, Orochimaru seemed relieved, bowed and thanked her, and then asked about Jugo.

"The child can be brought to cooperate with your research. The conditions are the same as those of Xiang Phosphorus and her daughter."

Uchiha Hikaru once again readily agreed.

At this point, Orochimaru's two goals have been achieved. After bowing to Uchiha Hikaru to greet him, he turned and left.

Uchiha Hikaru narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a trace of narrowing in her eyes: she agreed to Orochimaru's request for leave, but she did not say that she would not go to Kirigakure Village.

Since they are all targeting the Kaguya clan, it depends on who moves faster.

squeak-

With the sound of the door turning, Uchiha Hikaru returned to the house where he and Eriki lived.

When he looked up, he saw Eri sitting in the bathtub taking a bath, blowing bubbles and fingering the little yellow duck floating on the water with her fingers, with a contented expression on her face.

"...Why are my clothes all over the place again?"

Uchiha Hikaru shook his head, walked over and picked up the skirts and underwear scattered on the floor, shook out the ashes, and placed them on the chair: "Eri, do you want to go home soon?"

"?"

Eriki was stunned for a moment, then turned her head, looked at it a little anxiously, and then went to look for her little notebook next to it.

wow-

Seeing the girl stand up in the bathtub and prepare to get the notebook, Uchiha Hikaru quickly handed over the notebook and pushed her into the bathtub with both hands: "If you want to speak, just raise your hands. I’ll get it for you, don’t keep running outside without clothes, what if you catch a cold?”

"Eri's body is very good and she won't catch a cold."

Eriyi wrote a few strokes, raised it up, and then lowered her head to write: "Don't you want me to stay here?"

"No, I just have something to do that might be dangerous."

Uchiha Hikari paused: "Besides, it's been a long time since you left home this time. Aren't you afraid that your brother and father will be worried?"

"It's okay, I've already left a note."

"The note..."

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly thought of a question: "By the way, when you came here this time, didn't you tell your brother and the others in person?"

Eriki shook her head: "No."

"Um……"

Then she can probably imagine the current situation of the eight Sheqi families.

It is estimated that in the eyes of Uesugoshi and others, Eriki has now been dragged into the Nibelung by her "White King".

At the moment, Uchiha Hikaru took out the universal capsule and took inventory: "There is still one more serum potion you brought this time, plus Dr. Briff's inhibitor... It won't be a big problem if it lasts for about a week. Wait for this trip When you come back from the Kingdom of Water, I will take you home. It just so happens that I also have something I want to ask your brother and the others for help with."

As Uchiha Hikari relaxed, Eriki showed a bright smile on her face and raised her notebook again: "I like Hikari the most (n_n)"

"Ah……"

Uchiha Hikari was shaken by the girl's bright smile and sighed a little helplessly.

……

The next morning.

Orochimaru left a shadow clone behind, and then the main body set off from the Sound Ninja Village.

Later, Uchiha Hikaru explained to the mother and daughter, left a shadow clone in the village, and then set off with Eriki.

The two of them got on the somersault cloud again and headed towards the Kingdom of Water.
