I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

Naruto World, Konoha Village.

Naruto's house.

It was already late at night.

The entire village was completely silent, with the bright moonlight shining all over the earth. Except for a few ANBU and security patrols who were still busy, the other villagers had already fallen asleep.

suddenly.

Uchiha Hikaru's figure appeared in the bedroom without warning.

After roughly checking the furnishings in the bedroom and confirming that they had not been touched, Uchiha Hikaru opened the door and glanced at Naruto sleeping next door. Then he brushed his teeth and washed while paying attention to the news in the group.

[Bulma: I'm already home! How's Xiaoguang doing over there? Nothing happened? 】

[Nameless: Well, I’m here too. 】

[无名@Tietouwa: Tanjiro, are there any changes on your side? 】

[Tietou Boy: No, mom and the others are still there, so they probably won’t dissipate... We are going down the mountain together now. Mr. Purgatory plans to find a place to settle down first, and then see what the master’s arrangements are. 】

[Tietou Boy: In addition, Mr. Purgatory and Mr. Usui are discussing who is Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi between you and Miss Bulma. Do you need me to explain to them in detail? 】

[Buma: Huh? 】

[Anonymous: ...No need to explain, just leave it like that. 】

Although she didn't see the scene, Uchiha Hikaru could probably guess the kind of scene Tanjiro described - from the perspective of a demon slayer, many of the methods she and Bulma displayed were indeed like gods.

That is to say, she did not reveal Susanoo in front of the Demon Slayer Corps...

Otherwise, she and Bulma, plus Susanoo, would be able to gather together the three noble sons in Japanese mythology.

In the chat group.

[Yongdaimei: Why is it so lively all of a sudden? Is there something happening over there that I don’t know about? 】

[Buma: This is Mr. Yongdaimei, good evening! let me tell you……】

Bulma didn't seem to be sleepy at all, and he directly pulled Namikaze Minato enthusiastically and began to talk about his experiences in the past few days.

Uchiha Hikaru, on the other hand, quickly finished scrubbing, returned to the bedroom, closed the curtains, said "good night" to the group, took off his shoes, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

A few minutes later.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had fallen into a deep sleep, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"...You mean, Uchiha Hikari is back and is now at Naruto's house?"

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

Kakashi nodded and reported seriously: "Xiyan and I were guarding outside at the time. We saw her suddenly opening the door and coming out of the bedroom. We didn't find any sign of anyone coming or going in advance, and we didn't feel any chakra fluctuations. The breath of...

I suspect that she may have come back using some kind of time and space ninjutsu! When she suddenly disappeared from the village three weeks ago, she probably used the same ninjutsu! "

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked sleepy at this time. He was rubbing his temples vigorously to refresh himself while listening to Kakashi's report with a confused expression.

The ANBU had noticed the disappearance of the Uchiha light about three weeks ago.

But at that time, both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Kakashi and others who were in charge of surveillance thought that the girl just avoided surveillance and slipped out quietly. Although I am very angry about this kind of approach of coming and leaving whenever I want, from another perspective, this is actually a good thing——

This grandma of the Uchiha clan put too much pressure on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't be deceived. However, the other party also had subtle connections with the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and the Uchiha clan, which caused him to have to become cautious in handling many things. Some tasks that were originally very simple were also difficult to do. Forced to increase a lot of workload.

Therefore, the other party's departure made Sarutobi Hiruzen relieved, and he even hoped that the other party would stay outside for a few more months.

Can……

She actually came back?

Or did you use time and space ninjutsu to come back?

When did the space ninjutsu make the Konoha barrier team unaware? Flying Thunder God?

"Except for you and Xiyan, no one else knows about this, right?"

"No, I will use my shadow clone to report to you as soon as possible. The main body and Xi Yan are still watching over there."

"Oh……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment, then raised his head again: "Let's go, follow me to find Jiraiya."

Ten minutes later.

A tall man with long white hair like a hedgehog, who was drunk, was shouted in the hotel. In the hotel room, small discussions began to come from the hotel room.

……

The next morning.

The sun is rising.

A lot of sunlight poured in through the gaps in the curtains, leaving patches of mottled light on the wooden table and floor.

Because he came back late yesterday, Uchiha Hikaru slept a little longer. When she walked out of the bedroom wearing a white sweater, she happened to see Naruto holding a rag and basin, scrubbing and sweeping in the living room.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xiao Huangmao turned his head with a surprise expression on his face:

"Hey, Sister Guang, you're back!"

"Um……"

Compared to Naruto's excited look, Uchiha Hikari's reaction was very calm: "Has anyone been here these days?"

When she said this, her eyes fell on a few books placed on the coffee table - this was not something Naruto would buy.

Naruto nodded: "Well, the old man came here the night before yesterday and gave me some things. There was also an uncle with white hair. He seemed to know me, but I didn't remember his name!"

"Uncle with white hair..."

Kakashi?

still is……

Uchiha Hikaru vaguely guessed something, but he didn't say it out loud. He just walked to the sofa, picked up the books, and glanced at the names on the covers in turn: "The Will of Fire", "The Legend of Genxing Ninja", " "Two or Three Things about the Third Hokage", "My Mentor Senju Tobirama"...

"...It's all a mess."

Uchiha Hikari glanced through it casually for a few times, picked out "The Legend of Genshin Ninja" and put it aside. He planned to read what was written on it when he had time, and threw the remaining few books directly into the trash can.

Then she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash herself.

"Speaking of which...is it almost the New Year here in Konoha?"

"Yup!"

Naruto's cheerful voice came from the living room: "I heard from my grandfather and Uncle Ichiraku from the ramen restaurant that New Year's Day will be next Wednesday, and the room needs to be cleaned during the New Year...Uncle Ichiraku also said that by then, There is going to be a grand festival in the village, it should be very lively!"

"Oh."

Uchiha Hikari spat out the mouthwash and looked at the fair and beautiful girl's face in the mirror, feeling vaguely like he was in another world.

"New Year..."

"After breakfast later, let's go out and buy some New Year's goods and come back."

After washing up, Uchiha Hikari went to the kitchen to fry a few eggs and made sandwiches. He opened a carton of milk and poured it into two cups, and called Naruto over for dinner.

The knock on the door came when the two had just finished breakfast.

The second batch of group members is about to join the group, and not all candidates have been determined yet. If you have any ideas or suggestions, you can mention them in the chapter~
