I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 137 Finding Help, Uchiha Hikaru

"This direction doesn't seem to be the direction of Konoha."

In the Land of Fire, Yagyu and Uchiha Sasuke are walking slowly.

Although it had been three years since they had returned to the Land of Fire, Sasuke Uchiha quickly realized that they were not heading towards Konoha.

"Ah... not Konoha, we're going to a sealed place now, to find you a helper."

At this moment, Yagyu held a scroll in both hands, looking at the information on the scroll while chuckling mysteriously, "You'll definitely like this helper very much."

"boring."

Unlike Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha was not intrigued. Instead, he said disdainfully, "The Sarutobi and Shimura clans, along with a few old men, are nothing. I can kill them all by myself, even without your help. I don't need any help at all."

After awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha's personality underwent a tremendous change.

Although he hadn't used his own unique eye technique yet, the immense power of the Mangekyou Sharingan still made Sasuke Uchiha feel that he was now capable of anything, omnipotent.

If it weren't for his fondness and gratitude towards Yagyu, Sasuke Uchiha would have loved to challenge him right now to see who was stronger.

The sky cleared, the rain stopped... Uchiha Sasuke became Sunny Helper again, thinking he was all set.

"You won't say that once you see help."

Yagyu knew Sasuke Uchiha's personality very well, so he didn't pay attention to his arrogance.

At the same time, Yagyu couldn't help but put away the scroll and turn to Uchiha Sasuke to remind him: "The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan needs to be activated step by step. First, master the exclusive eye techniques of your left and right eyes. Only after you are proficient can you bring out the hidden third ability, which is Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo that resisted your Lightning Release technique."

"However, if you use your exclusive eye technique and Susanoo, your eye power will rapidly decline, and you will slowly lose your sight."

"Although you can acquire Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan and obtain eternal eye power, I do not recommend that you acquire it immediately. Instead, you should first master the Mangekyou Sharingan, thoroughly master Mangekyou-level genjutsu and exclusive eye techniques, as well as Susanoo, which is known as the power of a god, and then obtain eternal eye power."

"That way, you won't get lost in the power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Otherwise, you'll be no different from those who have fallen into the abyss of forbidden techniques."

"Any ninjutsu, forbidden techniques, or even bloodline limits are merely tools for our battle; we must not become prisoners of these tools."

If it were someone else giving a lecture, Sasuke Uchiha would definitely feel repulsed, filled with displeasure and aversion.

But after being lectured by Yagyu, Uchiha Sasuke fell into deep thought.

Looking back now, the gap between him and Yagyu is indeed enormous.

It's not just about physical strength, but also about mental strength.

Yagyu awakened his Wood Release bloodline limit at the age of seven, but he was able to hold back until the Fifth Hokage took over before slowly revealing it.

On the contrary, he was incredibly arrogant simply because he could activate his Sharingan on his own.

After mastering the Chidori and Lightning Release chakra to stimulate his cells, he couldn't help but feel smug.

This includes the battle with Itachi Uchiha.

Now, upon closer reflection, Sasuke realized how many times Itachi had held back during their battle.

Like Itachi Uchiha, Yagyu was a person who wielded power.

He, however, became immersed in the immense power.

Is this why he is inferior to them?

Sasuke Uchiha, who was thinking to himself, nodded outwardly and said calmly, "I understand."

Although he remained expressionless, it showed that Uchiha Sasuke had taken Yagyu's advice to heart.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng smiled and was very satisfied.

In his eyes, the best candidate for the head of the Anbu was none other than Uchiha Sasuke.

Unlike the carefree Naruto and the rational Itachi Uchiha, this emotional Indra reincarnation is a passionate and decisive second-in-command who is outwardly aloof but inwardly extremely loyal and dedicated.

After Naruto became Hokage in the original story, Sasuke Uchiha spent almost all his time investigating the Otsutsuki clan. After uncovering important information, his first priority upon returning was not to see his wife and daughter, but to report to Naruto. If there were other important matters to attend to, he would not even bother to say goodbye to his wife and daughter before quickly leaving the village again.

As a result, Sarada Uchiha in the original story did not see Sasuke Uchiha for many years.

After many years, they met again, and he almost got killed by Uchiha Sasuke.

Such a loyal and devoted person, without any ill intentions, and utterly indifferent to power, who prioritizes work over family, is someone Yagyu simply cannot find another like.

That's why Yagyu didn't hesitate to intercept Obito Uchiha and tell Sasuke Uchiha the truth about the massacre of his clan. He took the initiative to help Sasuke eliminate the Konoha leadership and their ninja clan, thus dispelling Sasuke's inner demons and making this reincarnation of Indra loyal to him.

Trading the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, who have little to do with him, along with several Konoha elders who would still have the right to criticize him after he succeeded as the Sixth Hokage, for a Kage-level ninja. Once he fused with Ashura's chakra or received the Sage of Six Paths' power-up, he could become the second-in-command of a Six Paths-level ninja. It couldn't be more worthwhile.

Yagyu is making a killing!

However, one Uchiha Sasuke is not enough. Yagyu also wants to use the Konoha F4 and their clans to obtain another loyal dog, whose strength and potential are second only to Uchiha Sasuke.

A day later, Yagyu and Sasuke Uchiha arrived at a large mountain that could be seen everywhere in the ninja world.

The two circled the mountain and found a cliff face.

"These are... the crests of the Senju and Sarutobi clans!"

Looking at the two clan emblems on the mountain wall, which were covered with historical traces and could not be found without careful observation, Uchiha Sasuke recognized them at a glance.

"Indeed, this is one of the sealed sites from the Warring States period."

Yagyu took out the scroll again, and only then did Uchiha Sasuke notice the words "Sengoku Seal History" written on the seal of the scroll.

Sasuke Uchiha instantly realized something and couldn't help but ask, "This sealed place... it seals people from the Warring States period?"

"what……"

Yagyu nodded and smiled, "And he's from your Uchiha clan."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes trembled instantly, his heart filled with surprise and excitement.

Besides himself, "Uchiha Yusuke", and that masked man of unknown identity, he actually has clansmen in this world?

Looking at the Senju and Sarutobi clan crests on the mountainside, Sasuke Uchiha asked again, "Was he sealed away by the combined forces of the Senju and Sarutobi clans? What was his name?"

"Yes, I only found out about it by chance when I found this scroll in the forbidden arts library."

Yagyu nodded again and said, "Her name is Uchiha Mumei, did you know that?"

Uchiha Sasuke pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head.

After the family was destroyed at the age of seven, apart from some ordinary scrolls, all the important items were taken away by the Konoha higher-ups.

Fortunately, their greed prevented Sasuke Uchiha from obtaining the scrolls of Izanagi and Izanami. Otherwise, during his battle with Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke might have actually sacrificed his eyes to unleash Izanagi and Izanami.

"Uchiha Mumei is the ultimate weapon of your Uchiha clan during the Warring States period."

Yagyu slowly said, "It is said that her strength was extremely powerful, completely suppressing the Senju clan, forcing the Senju clan to join forces with the Sarutobi clan, and ultimately successfully sealing her here."

"As for more details, I don't know much about it either."

This is a lie!

Yagyu still knew Uchiha Mumei's real name and her abilities.

Uchiha Hikaru!

This is a character who didn't appear in comics or anime, but was created as an original character in the official game, and whose popularity has spread beyond its original niche.

In the Boruto storyline of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm, a scientist from Konoha, after being looked down upon, stole a large amount of equipment and defected to an organization called "Zero".

That organization was founded by rogue ninja from Amegakure and inherited Pain's will.

Among the things the scientists took away was the "Warring States Period Sealed History" in Yagyu's possession.

Yagyu discovered the scroll by chance. After looking at the markings of the sealed land and some other information on the scroll, he remembered the name Uchiha Hikaru.

Yagyu hadn't expected that the game's original storyline was actually based on reality.

It seems that everything in this world, whether it's the original work, the anime TV series, or the theatrical version and game original content, truly exists.

To this, Yagyu was not surprised but rather pleased.

Uchiha Hikaru, the ultimate weapon of the Uchiha clan, is an anomaly among anomalies.

Because other Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan users have at most two exclusive eye techniques, while some have one exclusive eye technique with two uses.

Only Uchiha Hikari possessed a unique eye technique, as well as three eye techniques transplanted from her clan.

Those three eye techniques were none other than the exclusive eye techniques possessed by Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha: Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, and Kagutsuchi.

Furthermore, her own exclusive eye technique, Eight Thousand Spears, is an eye technique that is even more unsolvable and comprehensive than that of Kotoamatsukami.

As long as a mark is left, one can not only control the mind of others, but also ignore distance limitations, forcibly absorb the chakra of others to oneself, or transfer one's own chakra to others. This is simply the ultimate in control and absorption.

So when Yagyu saw the "Sengoku Seal History", he had already decided to break Uchiha Hikaru's seal and bring this ultimate weapon of the Sengoku period under his command.

However, the other party must be filled with hatred.

The Senju clan is gone, but the Sarutobi clan still exists.

Using the Konoha F4 clan to resolve the hatred between Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Hikaru, while also removing obstacles for himself, is a plan that kills multiple birds with one stone.

So, Yagyu activated his red-eyed clairvoyance, then went to a certain spot on the mountain wall, quickly formed a hand seal with one hand, and struck out with a palm.

In an instant, the black runes spread and expanded.

Rumble...

As the shaking sound rang out, cracks appeared in the mountain wall, which then slowly sank into the ground.

A dark cave came into view for Yagyu and Sasuke Uchiha.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Yagyu and Sasuke Uchiha stepped into the cave.

As Liu Sheng walked, he formed a hand seal with one hand, and numerous vine-like branches grew out, releasing the breath of life, absorbing the special gas in the cave, and exhaling fresh oxygen.

Immediately afterward, Yagyu spat out a small fireball.

The fireball, like a will-o'-the-wisp, darted about wildly, quickly igniting the candle flames.

The pitch-black cave was soon illuminated by candlelight.

As they walked, a staircase leading straight down came into view for Yagyu and Sasuke Uchiha.

Going down the stairs to the underground area, the space is not large, only about the size of a typical house's living room.

In the middle of the underground, there is an altar that resembles a seal for the body of a demon, and on it is a sealed stone coffin.

The sarcophagus and the altar were covered with black magic spells.

"This is a combination sealing technique!"

Sasuke Uchiha, who had somehow awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, said with a grave expression.

In his eyes, these techniques, even after so many years, still retained the flow of chakra.

Yagyu wasn't surprised at all; sealing techniques were just that outrageous.

For example, the Flying Thunder God Technique's formula remains even after the caster dies, and can still be used even after the caster comes back to life, which is even more outrageous than a tattoo.

"There are eight sealing techniques combined together; this is truly a rare treat," Yagyu remarked with a slight sigh.

"Can it be cracked?" Sasuke Uchiha asked.

"No problem."

Liu Sheng smiled confidently, then quickly formed a hand seal, squatted down, and slapped the ground.

In an instant, a large number of runes spread out and quickly connected with the altar and the stone coffin.

Swah——

The red light flickered, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, sometimes flashing and sometimes disappearing.

Before long, these tadpole-shaped runes began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A crack began to appear in the sealed stone coffin, revealing the body and lid of the coffin.

Yagyu arrived in front of the stone coffin and flipped the heavy coffin lid over with one hand.

Looking at the figure inside the stone coffin, a look of amazement flashed in Liu Sheng's eyes.

She was a girl who looked only twelve years old, or at most fourteen.

She had long black hair, wore a headband, and was dressed in a blue combat robe. Her features were delicate, and her face was even smaller than Liu Sheng's palm. She was extremely beautiful.

With her eyes closed in a deep sleep, she exuded a cold and noble aura, like a princess in a deep slumber, waiting for her prince to awaken her with a kiss.

She was Uchiha Mumei, who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of twelve. In an era when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha might not even have been born yet, she overwhelmed the Senju clan, forcing them to join forces with the Sarutobi clan to seal them away. Her real name was Uchiha Hikaru.

Yagyu bent down, took Uchiha Hikari's small hand, and took her pulse.

Yagyu nodded immediately.

It seems that the one who performed the sealing technique was from the Senju clan, who are distant relatives of the Uzumaki clan.

Even after so many years, Uchiha Hikaru's physical condition has not shown any problems.

Sealing Technique, as expected of a technique that can even seal the progenitor of chakra, its lower and upper limits are both outrageously absurd.

Although Uchiha Hikari's body was perfectly fine, Yagyu still raised his hand and released a green light, pressing it against Uchiha Hikari's forehead from a distance of a few centimeters to treat her.

A short while later, Uchiha Hikaru's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his black eyes.

The blurry vision gradually became clear.

A red-eyed boy with long silver hair, wearing a black robe similar to hers, came into her view.

The other person revealed a gentle smile, unlike the fierce and ferocious expressions of their clansmen, as if it were a smile from a deceased parent. They extended their hand to her and smiled, saying, "Welcome back, Uchiha Hikaru."

This title dispelled the instinctive wariness that had arisen in Uchiha Hikaru's heart.

He didn't call her Uchiha Mumei, but Uchiha Hikari!

He knew her name!
