Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

"That's amazing..."

Uchiha Hikaru, who swung the sword, had a slight smile on his lips.

Immediately afterwards, a look of joy filled her delicate face.

"With this power, I will surely be able to protect my father and mother!"

"Brother, let's go!"

Uchiha Hikaru tugged at the corner of Shiranui Sou's hand.

Outside the small house where her parents were sitting, crimson blades and billowing black smoke rose up, transforming it into a hellish scene.

……

In the cool stream.

Uchiha rolled up his pants legs, revealing his smooth calves.

Her ninja boots were off on the bank, and her bare, white feet waded in the clear stream.

"Hey!"

With a flick of her right hand, a smooth pebble flew out, bouncing several times on the water's surface before landing among a pile of pebbles on the shore.

"Brother, it's your turn!"

Uchiha Hikaru stood with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows curved, looking expectantly at Shiranui Sho.

"Good good."

Shiranui Sho put down the wooden skewer with several fish strung on it and smiled helplessly.

Skipping stones on water appears to have been a popular game among children during the Warring States period.

Uchiha Hikaru stepped forward, opened his right hand, and a smooth pebble lay quietly in his fair palm.

"This is one I carefully selected~"

She placed the pebble in Shiranui Sou's hand.

Looking at the carefree smile on the girl's face, Shiranui Sho sighed inwardly and reached out to pat her head.

Next, Shiranui Sho also threw out a pebble.

After several leaps, the pebble landed on the opposite bank again.

“Eh…”

Uchiha Hikaru counted on his fingers, "In that case, it's a five-to-five tie."

"We're going back for dinner now, our family is waiting for us," Shiranui Sho said gently.

"Ah."

Thinking of his father and mother waiting at home, Uchiha Hikaru smiled gently.

Her two delicate white feet left the stream, shimmering in the sunlight and carrying a few glistening water droplets.

She slipped her small feet into ninja boots and then walked lightly toward "home".

Behind her, Shiranui Sou gazed at her retreating figure, lost in thought.

A week had passed since he arrived in Uchiha Hikaru's illusion space.

They lived around the small cabin where they first met.

Monsters spawn outside the house every morning at set times.

The Senju clan, the Sarutobi clan, and the Uchiha clan.

Sometimes it's one of the three families, and sometimes it's a combination of two families.

In rare cases, all three races emerged simultaneously.

As the days went by, Shiranui Sho clearly sensed that the strength of these enemies was constantly increasing.

From initially handling it with ease, it has become increasingly difficult now.

If it weren't for the fact that Shiranui Sho could also use her Devil Fruit abilities and ninjutsu within this illusionary space, they probably wouldn't have been able to resist long ago.

He had no idea how many more days he could hold out.

Aside from this daily morning exercise, the rest of the time is quite leisurely.

Most of the time, Uchiha Hikaru's parents stayed quietly in the house.

They didn't say much, just looked at them with smiles on their faces.

Sometimes, Hikaru Uchiha would also pull him away from the hut to go outside.

Hunting in the mountains and forests, catching fish by the river.

Life was leisurely and interesting.

However, these are just appearances.

There are many discordant aspects to this magical world.

Uchiha Hikaru's parents never called her by her real name, except when they addressed her as "child" or "daughter."

At times, they are simply like puppets with a pre-programmed sequence.

They turn a blind eye to the battles taking place outside.

No matter what game Uchiha Hikaru brought back or how the food tasted, they simply praised it gently.

In addition, the increasingly powerful enemy also made Shiranui Sho frown.

He had no idea what would happen if one day he really couldn't withstand these enemies.

"Brother, hurry up!"

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly turned around, her bright smile seemingly able to dispel the gloom in his heart.

Shiranui Xiao smiled and nodded, then quickly followed.

"Um, brother, can you carry me back?"

Uchiha Hikaru lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly and made a small request.

Shiranui Sho paused slightly, but still knelt down in front of the girl.

The next second, the girl's light and delicate body leaped onto his back.

Shiranui Xiao stood up, leaning on her thigh, and walked calmly forward.

Uchiha Hikaru blinked and rested her fair cheek against his shoulder.

Those eyes, sharp and ruthless during battle, now held a look of longing, lost in thought.

We arrived home.

After Shiranui Sho and Uchiha Hikaru prepared it, the thick white fish soup was served.

"smell good."

"The two children's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Uchiha Hikaru's parents smiled together.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Shiranui Sho felt somewhat uneasy.

The reason is simple: he has seen this scene no less than ten times in the past week.

He looked to the side.

Uchiha Hikaru didn't see anything wrong with it, and smiled calmly and gently, like a well-behaved little kitten.

This child...

For a moment, Shiranui Sho had a question in her mind.

Why was she able to accept and become close to an adopted brother so quickly?

Ultimately, he attributed this intimacy to the girl's longing for her family.

Perhaps she couldn't bear the burden alone, so she wished for an older brother.

Since that's the case, he has to do something for the other person...

Shiranui Sou pondered for a moment, then suddenly put down her bowl and chopsticks.

He smiled as he looked at Uchiha Hikaru's parents.

"Excuse me, what is your sister's name? I've been here for a week, and I don't think I've heard anyone mention it."

The warm atmosphere instantly vanished as soon as the words were spoken.

Uchiha Hikaru's parents seemed to have had a pause button pressed.

They didn't respond, their smiles remaining perfectly still, like statues.

Uchiha Hikaru's smile was slightly stiff, and a hint of tension flickered in his eyes.

She looked up at Shiranui Sou in astonishment, as if she had discovered something unexpected.

Several seconds passed before she came to her senses and gave a natural smile.

“We are a family, and only strangers need to address each other by name.”

Her eyes flickered slightly as she spoke softly.

This statement not only persuaded the other person, but also persuaded herself.

The response she received was Shiranui Sho's hand gently placed on her head.

She looked up and saw the boy's smile.

"Such a lovely girl certainly deserves a nice name."

"Shiranui Sou said gently."

The house, parents, enemies, and even the thick white fish soup in front of him in the illusion world are all fake.

However, some things do actually exist.

For a week, they fought side by side and lived together.

The dark power emanating from Susanoo's katana was already perfectly natural.

The girl would often link arms with him, and if she lost at skipping stones, she would complain playfully, truly regarding him as family.

A bond that cannot be ignored has been established between Shiranui Sho and Uchiha Hikaru.

"Light……"

Uchiha Hikaru was stunned for a moment, and murmured the word.

All she remembered was that those hated tribesmen called her "Nameless".

But who would want such a name?

In this world, she was able to reunite with her parents.

Unfortunately, she couldn't recall the name her parents had given her.

All she knew was that her parents would never call her "Nameless".

So she preferred to give up her name.

She liked the name Guang.

"Did my brother name me?"

Uchiha Hikaru asked timidly.

Those gentle eyes showed no sign of the devastating power she displayed within Susanoo.

To her astonishment, Shiranui Sou shook his head.

"No, this is the name your father and mother gave you."

"How could this be..."

Uchiha Hikaru subconsciously refuted this.
