I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

This was the first time Uchiha Hikaru entered this "Bronze City".

As the palace built by Fire King Norton for herself, this place was larger and more spectacular than she had imagined. The walls inside were all forged from bronze, and separated into courtyards and rooms. Some of the rooms were filled with stone furniture, engraved with tiny seal characters, which looked quite ancient.

She originally wanted to come in to look for the "Seven Deadly Sins".

After all, it was an alchemical weapon worth 100 million US dollars. Even if Uchiha Hikaru had no shortage of money, he would never complain about having too much money. Besides, although she herself did not have dragon blood, it did not mean that she could not use other methods to use alchemical weapons. If the quality of the "Seven Deadly Sins" was good enough, then keeping it for herself would be a good choice.

but……

Uchiha Hikaru didn't know where this thing was placed in the "Bronze City".

Because Constantine didn't know either.

——The latter's mind, apart from "brother", was basically a mess, with almost no common sense, even worse than Eri before she joined the chat group. Ever since waking up, he had been in a dazed state, barely saying a few words the whole day, and was unable to provide them with any useful information.

and so.

Uchiha Hikaru could only walk around in this metal palace with the mentality of traveling and sightseeing, occasionally taking a few photos with his mobile phone, intending to share them with Esdeath and the others after returning.

Go all the way.

On the way, Uchiha Guang used the "Fire Thunder God" to forcibly cut through several walls, and directly chose the shortest path, breaking through the wall from the inside and entering the next room.

This went around in circles for a few times.

Somehow, Uchiha Hikaru arrived in front of an old house with a courtyard.

This seemed to be the place that had appeared in the original work, the residence used by Norton and Constantine to live in, and was invaded by the Eastern Han army two thousand years ago. However, at this time, there were already people in the courtyard of the residence.

He was a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old.

He was about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a black suit, leather shoes, and a white silk scarf. He was sitting at a stone table, drinking a glass of red wine.

He obviously heard the footsteps, but did not turn around immediately. Instead, he slowly put down his wine glass and wiped the corner of his mouth: "You are here."

"……I am coming."

Uchiha Mitsuru observed the other's nonchalant tone and spoke.

"You shouldn't have come."

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not respond to the last sentence, but let out a light breath: "Lu Mingze?"

The other party was indeed Lu Mingze.

Although Uchiha Hikaru had anticipated that she might run into this guy when she first joined the Kuimen Project—after all, Lu Mingze had also been keeping an eye on Kuimen, and he was even behind the scenes instigating the project—she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Look.

Lu Mingze had long anticipated that she would come back, so he waited here in advance.

Hmm...Jiude Mai and Su Enxi seem to be away.

Also.

Those two were essentially workers recruited by Lu Mingze. Although they benefited from their work and were trusted, Lu Mingze would still be reserved with them when it came to matters truly involving the secrets of dragons.

As for the other member of the nanny team, Retana...

He is still at Kassel Academy, playing house with Lu Mingfei as "Zero", so it is even more impossible for him to rush here.

"...When two masters meet here, shouldn't they first say some cool lines to liven up the atmosphere? Well, there's really no tacit understanding between them."

opposite.

Lu Mingze seemed a little concerned that Uchiha Guang did not continue by saying "But I'm already here".

After sighing, he jumped down from the stone bench, turned around, looked at Uchiha Hikaru calmly, and tilted his head:

"Since this is our first meeting, should I call you Miss Guang, or... 'White King'?"

"what ever."

Hikaru Uchiha said lightly.

Unlike Xia Mi and others, Lu Mingze had met King Bai and even had a very deep friendship with him.

Using the same rhetoric that had deceived Xia Mi and the Eight Clans of Sheqi to conceal one's identity in front of him was simply like trying to cover up one's own faults and was completely meaningless.

And since this guy chose to appear here...

Then Lu Mingze should have made some judgment about her identity——

"Half a year ago, there was a rumor in Japan that the noble White Emperor had resurrected in the God's Burial Ground and took over the Snake Eight Clan as the Mother Goddess 'Izanami', single-handedly promoting its suppression of the fierce ghosts. In order to confirm this rumor, I went to Japan in person, but I didn't find you."

"I didn't expect to hear rumors about you again here."

"You look smaller than I thought."

Lu Mingze said softly, looking at Uchiha Guang with a scrutinizing gaze.

In this process.

Uchiha Hikaru also looked at him, then smiled faintly under the latter's gaze: "But you look bigger than I thought."

——This is the truth.

In Uchiha Hikaru's imagination, Lu Mingze should be smaller than her body, but unexpectedly, in comparison, she looks more like her younger sister...

After a brief silence.

Lu Mingze spoke again: "At first, I really thought you were the 'White King'."

"After all, there is a precedent of the White King being resurrected in history, and he did reappear in the world as a human... that is, the Izanagi from ten thousand years ago. Although the scenario is not quite the same as I expected, as a noble being in the world of dragons, it is not impossible for him to do something beyond my expectations."

"If it really is her who has returned to this world after millions of years, then as a friend from the past, I am still quite happy."

"However, after I came into contact with the people from the Sheqi Eight Clan and learned the cause and effect of your appearance, I realized that you are not her at all."

"A person with no past and a blank identity suddenly appeared in the sight of the Eight Clans of Sheqi, and made them believe that he was really the noble and noble Dragon King... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even I might not have believed it."

"But now..."

"I have a rough idea of ​​your origins."

Lu Mingze paused for a moment, then spoke word by word: "Excluding all impossibilities, the remaining one, no matter how absurd, can only be the truth. You... should not be from this world, right?"

"……Yes."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded decisively.

There is no need to deny this issue.

After all, Lu Mingze's identity is there, and he is also very smart. If he makes up a lie, it will be exposed in an instant, so it is better for him to admit it directly.

Anyway...

Lu Mingze probably can't do anything to her.

This man may have been a big boss in the past, with supreme power and authority, but now he is just a wandering ghost. He is not even able to deal with ambitious people like Odin who are far lower than him, let alone Uchiha Hikaru.

Only those rule-based abilities such as tampering with the timeline would make her a little wary. However, given Lu Mingze's personality and style of doing things, he would not resort to such desperate measures before things were made clear.

the other side.

Lu Mingze narrowed his eyes slightly: "So... you are really the character in that comic book? A member of the Uchiha clan from Konoha Village in the Land of Fire?"

——He made this judgment early on.

but……

Even though he was well-informed, he still couldn't believe that a character who was supposed to belong to the second dimension could actually break through the dimensional wall and come to reality, and even possess the power to move him. This kind of thing should exist in those online novels.

"Is it possible... that the world you live in is also a comic book, or a novel?"

Uchiha Hikaru said calmly.

"!"

Lu Mingze was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "No wonder you recognized Herzog's identity when you first appeared in the Snake Eight Clan, and just now you called out my name at the first moment... It turns out that this is not a coincidence, but you already knew it.

In the world of Naruto, has anyone ever drawn or written a story about what happened in this world? "

"……almost."

Of course, Uchiha Hikaru would not tell Lu Mingze that he was once a time traveler.

And it is impossible for Lu Mingze to go to the Naruto world to verify whether there is the comic "Dragon Tribe" there.

Well, this reason is enough to explain it.

“…What a surprising discovery.”

Lu Mingze pondered for a moment before he exhaled and said slowly, "I didn't expect that I would be a character in a story... Can I ask what my final ending was in your world?"

"do not know."

Uchiha Hikaru shook his head: "Because the work about you is still being serialized."

"……Um?"

Lu Mingze was a little surprised, but he didn't dwell on the issue involving the dimensional wall.

In fact, there is no way to have an in-depth discussion on this kind of thing. If you are not careful, you may come to the conclusion that "you do not exist", which will lead to the breakdown of your spiritual heart.

and so.

Lu Mingze just sighed symbolically, then raised his head again and locked eyes with Uchiha Hikaru: "So, you are really the granddaughter of that man named Uchiha Madara, and you are active in the Ninja World under his identity, and through a series of conspiracies and calculations, you finally set off the Fourth Ninja World War? This kind of move is indeed somewhat like the style of the Dragon King."

"?"

"Wait a minute……"

Uchiha Guang was slightly startled: Uchiha Madara's granddaughter...what does that mean? !

Shouldn't it be the other way around?
