I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

Not to mention Yamato’s so-called “lifetime request”.

Uchiha Hikaru originally planned to go to the pirate world in the near future to confirm the time node there, and also to help Bulma's "Dimensional Pirate Group Plan" to scout the location in advance. If there is enough time, saving Ace will only be a side job.

As for now...

"Want to go out for a walk, Xiao Ai?"

Uchiha Guang glanced at the military girl beside him.

"It looks like the weather today is pretty good."

For Uchiha Hikari's proposal.

Esdeath agreed without hesitation without even thinking about it. Then, she and her changed their shoes and left the Uchiha clan territory and came to the village outside.

how to say……

After being used to the modern metropolis of the Dragon Ball and Jujutsu worlds, Uchiha Hikaru suddenly felt as if she were in a different world when she returned to Konoha in the Naruto world - in fact, it was indeed a different world. However, for the other people in Konoha Village, she was just a little bit away from home.

On the road.

Several members of the patrolling security force bowed to Uchiha Guang and said, "Greetings, Grandmother!"

"Greetings, Master Guang."

"Um……"

Uchiha Hikaru nodded and glanced casually.

The one who called Grandma was obviously an Uchiha. The two people beside him were an Inuzuka and a Yamanaka, which could be seen from the paint on the former's face and the golden hair on his head.

However, these ninjas from different families all seemed to be getting along well with each other. The expressions of the Konoha villagers on the roadside looking at them no longer showed the fear and hatred they had before, but a little more intimacy.

——This is probably the result of the security forces recently starting to implement “civilized law enforcement”.

Although it is not mentioned in the original Naruto, most of the villagers in Konoha Village are essentially a group of "fools".

——They have a low level of education, only able to read and write, and have only a vague understanding of many rules and regulations inside and outside the village, so they are resistant to the security forces that arrest people at every turn.

And now.

A group of younger clan members, including Shisui, began to learn to occupy the high ground of public opinion, paying special attention to the propaganda work of the security forces. They set up a special "legal propaganda office" to explain the various systems in the village to ordinary people, and subtly dispel the hatred of other villagers towards Uchiha.

Judging from the results, it’s pretty good.

"Good."

"My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and I, as a 'grandmother', can now retire to the second line with peace of mind."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded slightly and made his comment in a connoisseur-like manner.

In response, Esdeath's mouth twitched and her expression seemed a little speechless.

"what happened?"

"Nothing." Esdeath shook her head: "I just think it's a little weird and cute to say such things with your appearance."

"……what?"

Uchiha Hikaru was stunned.

What she said just now was mostly a joke, but looking at Esdeath's expression, it seemed that she took it seriously.

At the moment, Uchiha Hikaru didn't explain too much, just walked with Esdeath along the way. During the time, he also took the time to buy a few boxes of three-color meatballs, and he and Esdeath each shared a bag. Then he ran to the nearby commercial street and bought a bunch of nice-looking clothes and handicrafts.

——It must be said that there are several pretty good wood carving shops in Konoha Village. If the items in them were taken to the world of Jujutsu or Dragon Clan and sold, they could probably be sold at a high price as collectibles.

……

After wandering around the village for an afternoon, I ran to the top of the Hokage Rock to enjoy the breeze for a while.

Uchiha Hikaru brought Esdeath to the gate of the Ninja School.

At this time, it was time to go home from school.

Groups of children aged six, seven, or even ten were coming out of the school noisily. One of them, a little yellow-haired guy wearing a swirl pattern T-shirt, stood out, and a few meters away was another black-haired hedgehog-head wearing a blue shirt and white pants.

That's right.

These two are naturally Naruto and Sasuke.

When I saw Uchiha Hikaru.

Naruto's eyes lit up, and the expression on his face that was arguing with Sasuke quickly subsided, and he ran over:

"Sister Guang! It's really you!"

"Yeah, long time no see."

Uchiha Guang pressed his shoulders before Naruto hugged him, and then rubbed the little guy's head: "Well, it seems that you take a bath on time, your hair is quite smooth."

"Of course, I have always followed what you said, Sister Guang. I eat well, sleep well, and take a bath on time every day!"

"Oh, yes, there are also rice cakes and rice balls. They have changed a lot in recent times. Sister Guang, would you like to go back with me to see them?"

Naruto started talking and chattered non-stop.

next to.

Sasuke paused for a moment, as if hesitating whether to come over and greet Uchiha Hikaru, or just pretended not to see him and walked away.

While he was hesitating, Uchiha Guang had already waved.

"Sasuke, right?"

"I heard from Shisui that you and Naruto have been getting along pretty well lately. Have you been to his house yet? Do you want to come along?"

"...?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Sasuke's face.

—Me... and Naruto? We have a good relationship? Is that true?

Although a little confused.

But since the "elder" Uchiha Hikaru had personally invited her, Sasuke was embarrassed to refuse her. After hesitating for a few words about "her parents and brother are still waiting for her at home for dinner", Uchiha Hikaru directly grabbed her wrist and walked towards the block near the ninja school.

Naruto's house is quite close to the school.

About ten minutes later, the group arrived at the single apartment where Naruto lived.

As the door opens.

A milky white dog half the height of a person came up, wagging its tail, and sniffed in front of the few people. Then it seemed to recognize Uchiha Hikaru and immediately raised its body, as if it wanted to pounce on them and lick them with its tongue.

"Humph!"

Esdeath snorted coldly, scaring the big white dog so much that it tucked its tail between its legs and showed an expression of doubt and surprise on its face.

"Okay, Xiao Ai, stop scaring it."

Uchiha Hikaru waved his hand, then squatted down in front of the white dog and stroked its soft fur: "I remember, your name seems to be 'Rice', right?"

"…Um, Sister Guang, it's 'mochi'."

Naruto corrected quietly beside him.

"Oh yes."

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly realized, and then glanced at the black and white dog lying lazily in the doghouse not far away: "Is that called 'Sushi'?"

"…It's 'rice ball'."

"Well, they're all pretty much the same."

Uchiha Hikaru smiled, and a mischievous expression suddenly appeared in his eyes: "By the way, it seems that these two guys were born in the same litter. In fact, they should be called 'Sesshomaru' and 'Inuyasha'."

"?"

Unfortunately, few people present understood this joke.

Especially Sasuke.

I don't know if it's because most of the Uchiha clan are cat lovers and crow lovers, and don't like canines, but Sasuke and Mochi look a bit disgusted with each other. The former stood aside and acted aloof and didn't say anything, while the latter didn't come up to him to sniff like she did to Uchiha Hikaru and Naruto.

Seeing this, Uchiha Hikaru could only sigh, and ate the rice cakes and rice vigorously for a few times, then stood up and glanced at the wall clock: "It's almost time for dinner... It's a rare opportunity, so I'll cook today. Do you have any fresh ingredients at home?"

"Yeah, there is!"

The meal that night was prepared by Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath.

Quite hearty.

At first, Sasuke wanted to go back early, but he was impressed by the majesty of Uchiha Hikaru's eldership. After sitting down and eating a few bites, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he began to put food into his bowl with inconspicuous and quick movements.

Naruto didn't dare to show weakness.

The two men almost started a fight with chopsticks.

After a good meal and drink.

Naruto took the initiative to pick up the dishes and wash them.

Sasuke returned to his original aloof self, looking around for an excuse to leave.

At this time, Uchiha Guang waved at Naruto, called the little yellow-haired boy over from the side, and then put a hand on his shoulder.

“…Sister Guang?”

"Don't move, let me see."

While talking.

Uchiha Hikaru closed his eyes slightly and began to activate the "Inaction Transformation", turning his consciousness into tentacles, extending them along the palm of his hand into Naruto's body, and began to observe his soul.

"...Hmm, so this guy's soul is so tough, much more solid than those cursed spirits."

"... Could this feeling be the legendary 'Ashura Chakra'?"

"besides……"

Just as Uchiha Hikaru was carefully "looking" at Naruto's soul, trying to peek into Ashura's secret from it.

Another trace of chakra fluctuation suddenly appeared at this time, and then, the originally peaceful "spiritual world" in Naruto's body began to change rapidly, and was quickly spread and filled with blood. In this case, a building shaped like a prison cell appeared in Uchiha Guang's "vision".

"here it is……"

Uchiha Hikaru looked around and had a rough idea in his mind.

She was naturally familiar with this place, as it was the place where the Nine-Tails was imprisoned in Naruto's body.

It seems that this place should be located inside Naruto's soul, similar to the sea of ​​consciousness or the spiritual world, so when she tried to spy on Naruto's soul, she was connected here unknowingly. And if nothing unexpected happens, the big orange fox should be there too.

Uchiha Hikaru had thought about taking time to meet the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body.

And now...

It is better to choose a day than to hit it.

Now that he's here, and Kyuubi's orange figure is already looming in the cell, why not just take the initiative to ask him to come out and talk.

"Cough cough..."

present.

Uchiha Guang turned to the Nine-Tails opposite him and smiled: "Are you there? Nine-Tails, can you lend me some chakra?"
