But then she suddenly froze as if struck by lightning.

Suddenly, her parents, who had been silent since the beginning, looked at her.

Their faces wore the same gentle, caring smiles as before, but there seemed to be an added layer of genuineness in them.

"Yes, Xiaoguang, that's the name we gave you."

Chapter 87 Light: My brother is a gift from heaven!

"My name is Uchiha Hikaru..."

Uchiha Hikaru stared blankly into space, his nose slightly reddening.

She only knows a little bit.

This illusionary space was formed by her consciousness combined with the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan's Tsukuyomi eye technique.

Her father and mother were the closest to the images she remembered.

They may differ from real people in appearance, behavior, and personality.

But it won't deceive.

If they didn't come up with the name "Light," they would either remain silent or directly refute it.

However, they smiled and said it to her.

"Xiao Guang, this is the name we gave you."

So, she also has such a beautiful name.

Light, hope.

Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she threw herself into Shiranui Sou's arms.

Her lithe body nestled in Shiranui Xiao's arms, her shoulders trembling.

A soft sobbing sound came from inside.

Seeing this, the parents stood up with concern and walked to the two of them, quietly reaching out to hug them.

……

night.

Shiranui Sho lay on the bed in her bedroom, a red moon faintly visible outside the window.

The furnishings of this bedroom are roughly the same as those in his room in Konoha.

On his first day in this illusionary space, Uchiha Hikaru gently pushed open a door that hadn't been opened for a long time.

The furnishings and decorations all suited his tastes.

He reflected on what he had gained during this period.

The battles within the illusion space also provided him with an opportunity to hone his various abilities.

Dark-Dark Fruit, Flying Thunder God Technique, Ninjutsu...

His ability to control the situation improved considerably during this period.

This is another major reason why he hasn't rushed out yet.

However, after a week, it's time to go out.

dong dong dong-

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Shiranui Sho got up and opened the door, where she saw a girl wearing a dark blue nightgown.

"I have trouble sleeping..."

Uchiha Hikaru looked down at his fair toes and said softly, "Can I chat with you for a while?"

A moment later, the two sat down side by side on the edge of the bed.

Noticing that Uchiha Hikari looked at him hesitantly several times, Shiranui Sho gently patted her back.

"Xiao Guang, just ask whatever you want to ask."

"……Um."

Uchiha Hikaru took a deep breath and tried to speak naturally.

"Brother, you're not from around here, are you?"

"Ah."

Shiranui Sho nodded calmly.

When he first arrived, he assumed that Uchiha Hikaru knew about this.

But later, in their interactions, he discovered that the other person didn't seem to realize this.

His entry into the illusion space might not have been intentional on Uchiha Hikaru's part.

Rather, it was a protective mechanism automatically generated by the power of Uchiha Hikaru's Mangekyou Sharingan within the sealed space.

"Ugh……"

Uchiha Hikaru sighed with mixed feelings.

She had already suspected it for a while.

In this Tsukuyomi world, she will not encounter anyone she has never met before.

Whether it was their father, mother, or those Senju, Sarutobi, and Uchiha people.

All of them were faces she had seen before.

In addition, everyone in this world except for the father and mother is an "enemy".

She was stunned when she first realized that her parents were leading strangers who claimed to be her brother.

But for some reason, she forgot about those unreasonable things and tried to accept this new family member.

Looking back now, perhaps it was because she subconsciously longed for someone to rely on.

A reliable older brother filled this gap.

The "parents" who were born from her consciousness spontaneously adopted her.

Some of the other party's behaviors also have clues.

An unprecedented ability, a more agile performance than any other "human-machine" interaction in the world...

Previously, however, her focus was entirely on a warm and complete family.

She considered all these abnormalities as trivial matters.

After all, he's set up as an adopted older brother, so it's reasonable that he's somewhat out of place with them, right?

Subconsciously, she didn't want to break the status quo.

Until yesterday, the other party suddenly asked her name...

This impossible situation finally made it impossible for her to deceive herself.

"I'm sorry, although I don't know where you're from..."

Uchiha Hikaru lowered his head and said in a somewhat apologetic tone.

"Your parents must be waiting for you to go back. I'll send you away from here tomorrow."

Over time, they developed a deep bond with each other, despite being strangers.

He is reliable, considerate, and indulges her childish and willful tendencies.

Uchiha Hikaru had no idea what Shiranui Sho was thinking.

But in her heart, she did indeed regard him as an important family member.

Even so, she couldn't selfishly leave him here.

The other person may also be waiting for their family.

"My parents also sacrificed themselves when I was very young."

Shiranui Sho sighed.

Those brief, warm moments have ultimately become a regret.

The era he lived in was not significantly better than the Sengoku period in which Uchiha Hikaru lived.

It's even worse.

The Uchiha clan's practice of training Uchiha Hikaru into a "nameless" weapon is already inhuman enough.

However, compared to Danzo's bestial acts of conducting human experiments on Konoha ninjas and orphans, it doesn't seem so beastly after all.

"Your brother must have been very sad back then."

Uchiha Hikaru gently grasped Shiranui Sho's hand; her palm was slightly cool.

Simply put, she empathized.

"I'm a little sad."

Shiranui Sho thought about it and realized that she couldn't quite remember some of it.

That happened more than ten years ago, and he has experienced a lot in those ten years.

"In that case..."

As Uchiha Hikaru's eyes flickered, his thoughts subtly shifted.

"what?"

Shiranui Sho raised an eyebrow slightly; he hadn't quite heard the girl's mutterings.

"No, it's nothing."

Uchiha Hikaru shook his head quickly, his long, dark hair accidentally falling onto Shiranui Sho's shoulder.

She then moved on to another topic.

"Then, brother, how did you know my name?"

She was certain that this was her name.

Because the reactions of the "parents" in the Tsukuyomi space all came from her consciousness.

They approve of the name as it was chosen by them.

It can only be because she still has some fragmented memories in her subconscious.

So here's the problem.

Why would the other person know this name?

Shiranui Sho stroked her chin and thought for a moment.

Finally, he chose an ambiguous answer.

"Because the name Xiaoguang came to mind the moment I saw you."

Unexpectedly, the questionable answer instantly convinced Uchiha Hikaru.

She met Shiranui Sho's gaze with unwavering conviction.

After a long pause, her eyes flickered slightly, and she spoke softly.

"Indeed, my brother is a gift from heaven."

The girl's pretty face flushed slightly, but her gaze remained unwavering.

This is a heartfelt statement.

Therefore, Shiranui Sou was inevitably stunned for a moment.

That's a bit too much...

He looked down at the girl beside him whose eyebrows were curved into crescent moons, and sighed softly in his heart.

In that case, how could he possibly be so indifferent?
