Konoha: You're letting me build up my bonds, but you're offending the entire ninja world.

Gengetsu Shimura smiled, his right eye spinning rapidly.

"The Pantheon!"

He instantly copied Uchiha Hikaru's unique eye technique, and a temple belonging to Yachimoku appeared near the mountain peak within the Takamagahara world.

Uchiha Hikaru's eyes widened in astonishment. "How is this possible?"

She wasn't surprised that Gengetsu had copied her eye technique; rather, she was shocked that despite her success, she hadn't left a mark on Gengetsu.

“I know your capabilities very well. Since I dared to come to you, I must have made thorough preparations.”

At this moment, a thin layer of chakra flowed across Shimura Gengetsu's body, enveloping his entire being. His eye power could not enter his body, so it could not leave a mark.

Using his Sharingan, Uchiha Hikaru saw through Shimura Gengetsu's plan and began to panic.

How could anyone possess such abnormal chakra control?

Without the aid of her eye technique, her ninjutsu and taijutsu posed no threat to Shimura Gengetsu, and she was quickly pinned down again.

"Now you should calm down, right?"

To Uchiha Hikaru's astonishment, those blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan transformed back into pure Byakugan, gently tapping her a few times to completely seal off the flow of chakra.

Even eye techniques require chakra to execute, so she is now completely powerless to resist.

"Are you really not from the Uchiha clan?"

"My name is Shimura Gengetsu. Remember my name from now on."

"Shimura?"

"Damn it, you're an ally of Sarutobi and Senju, no wonder you were able to find the place where I was sealed."

Gengetsu Shimura sighed, completely exasperated.

I need help. How can I change a young girl from the Warring States period's prejudice and preconceived notions about surnames?

I need help urgently!

Seeing Uchiha Hikaru's stubborn eyes, Shimura Gengetsu reluctantly pulled her up.

"Fine, it seems you won't believe anything unless I show you with your own eyes."

Two hours later, Shimura Gengetsu brought Uchiha Hikaru to a border town.

Seeing that the clothes worn by pedestrians on the street were completely different from what he remembered, Uchiha Hikaru's beliefs began to waver.

As the two walked down the street, Shimura Gengetsu released Uchiha Hikari's seal, allowing her to use the power of the Eight Thousand Spears to view the memories of other people.

This would not only confirm that what he said was true, but also give her a basic understanding of the world today.

After reading it, Uchiha Hikaru looked disappointed.

real...

It's actually true...

She was sealed away for three hundred years. The era of the ninja clans had ended. The Senju and Uchiha clans were able to cooperate to establish a village. The world has changed so much.

After arriving at the hotel and checking into a room, Shimura Gengetsu pulled the puppet-like girl into the room to provide a quiet place for the two of them to talk.

"Now do you believe me?"

Hikaru nodded calmly. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier."

But the girl's expression quickly turned disgusted. "Although you saved me, you investigated me so thoroughly, you must have ill intentions and want to use me to achieve some goal."

Shimura Gengetsu was unusually shy and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"As for the purpose... there is indeed one."

Uchiha Hikaru looked disgusted.

"Asking you to have a few children for me, that shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

Uchiha Hikaru was stunned. His face turned red, and then he pushed Shimura Gengetsu hard before running to the other side of the table.

"what are you talking about!"

"Despicable man! Beauty has no effect on me, give up on him."

No, ladies.

If beauty is useless, then why are you blushing?

Shimura Gengetsu stopped teasing her. "We can talk about having children later. I did release you because I need your help."

"really."

Uchiha Hikaru gave a bitter smile. "Are you using me as a weapon again? Then kill me. Anyway, I have no more attachments now. Even if I die, I will no longer be used by others."

In order to make her abandon useless emotions, the Uchiha clan even stripped her of her name.

After she was rescued, someone else was coveting her power.

As expected... this world is beyond saving.

Gengetsu Shimura knew how much suffering Hikaru Uchiha had endured, so he was very patient.

“I need your power, but that doesn’t mean I’m using you as a tool. Otherwise, I wouldn’t call you Light, but Nameless.”

Uchiha Hikaru's body trembled slightly.

"I believe in equal exchange. If you do something for me, I will give you what you want."

"Think carefully, what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru was bewildered. After a long while, he said, word by word, "I want to destroy the world."

"Change it, change it." Shimura Gengetsu was speechless. "You destroyed this world, how am I supposed to enjoy life? Don't spout these villainous declarations, we're good people."

Hmm... I guess I'd call him a good person.

Shimura Gengetsu himself felt a little guilty.

“Then that’s it,” Uchiha Hikaru said decisively. “You might as well just kill me.”

"Don't you want to live the life of a normal ninja and experience the joys of an ordinary person?"

"Modern times are different from those of the past. Although wars still exist, lifestyles and living standards are very different now."

"I won't use you as a tool, it's just a cooperative relationship. All you need to do is keep your identity a secret for now and don't reveal my Sharingan."

"Apart from that, you can do the tasks I give you if you want, or do whatever you want if you don't want to, except for destroying the world."

Faced with Gengetsu Shimura's earnest and sincere persuasion, Hikaru Uchiha was finally moved.

What exactly do you want me to do?

"Help me control the Uchiha clan."

Gengetsu Shimura recounted the Uchiha clan's history in detail, starting directly from Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, and continuing until Itachi Uchiha massacred the clan and he saved some women and children.

They even mentioned Obito Uchiha's existence and Madara Uchiha's schemes.

He didn't even tell Izumi this information, but Shimura Gengetsu always felt a sense of familiarity when facing Uchiha Hikaru.

Ultimately, the two share similarities.

His soul came from another world. Uchiha Hikaru was a figure from over three hundred years ago, and he was alone in this world.

And from some point onwards, the girl's mouth, which had been wide open, never closed again.

Are ninjas from over 300 years later... all this good at playing games?

The Eye of the Moon Project, a substitute, the destruction of a clan for the sake of a younger brother, a fake Infinite Tsukuyomi...

This is far more exciting and ruthless than anything from her time.

It took the girl a full fifteen minutes to process all this information. Her eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly:

"So...you want me to help you control those Uchiha clansmen?"

"Yes."

Gengetsu Shimura agreed with her guess, "Human hearts are unpredictable. I can trust you, but I can't trust so many Uchiha. Your Eight Thousand Spears can monitor their memories and thoughts to prevent anyone from betraying me."

"I agreed."

Uchiha Hikaru accepted the mission without hesitation, even becoming impatient: "When are we going to the Land of Snow?"

She was previously regarded as a weapon by the Uchiha, but now she can control the Uchiha.

The world is truly unpredictable, defying the natural order.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, once you're on my boat, there's no chance of getting off," Shimura Gengetsu deliberately threatened.

"Then I won't play." Uchiha Hikaru said without the slightest hesitation.

"If I find out you're lying to me, I'll kill myself."

She could actually feel Shimura Gengetsu's patience and humility towards her, a feeling that Uchiha Hikaru had only experienced from her parents.

Anyway, he was given a second chance at life, so Uchiha Hikaru became much more accepting of it.

"Then we will cooperate happily."

Shimura Gengetsu extended his hand, and Uchiha Hikaru also extended her fair hand. The two shook hands and reached an agreement.
