XX-level Hokage

Previously, Mashiro might not have been able to directly invade the girl's brain using illusion magic, but now, due to the changes brought about by the Otsutsuki bloodline, Mashiro felt like she was being attacked from a lower dimension.

"Are you from the Uchiha clan? How did you end up here?" Mashiro repeated her question. Hikari, though deep down she thought it was an illusion, couldn't help but look up because of her long loneliness.

Then she saw Mashiro in front of her, with a beautiful face, long flowing hair, wearing a black divine robe, and a gentle smile on her lips.

Hikaru was somewhat dazed and asked in surprise, "Who are you? How did you get here?" Seeing the girl's reaction, Mashiro smiled. It seemed he had succeeded.

She had just successfully invaded the brain of the girl using illusion magic. However, this kind of illusion magic was not as powerful as Kotoamatsukami's eye technique, which could change other people's thoughts and destroy their brains. But it was unnecessary for Mashiro. Therefore, Mashiro simply projected her own image through illusion magic so that the girl could see her.

However, since Zhenba has never looked in a mirror, she is unaware of the changes that have occurred in her body, so what is projected in her brain is still her previous appearance.

"Is it an illusion?" Hikari involuntarily reached out her hand, which was bound by chains, and then her hand passed through Mashiro's body. "Hmph, it really was an illusion?" Hikari couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, then lowered her head.

"How rude of me." Even though she was in spirit form, Mashiro still straightened her clothes.

"Don't worry, I'm not hallucinating. Generally speaking, while members of the Uchiha clan are often paranoid and neurotic, the presence of the Sharingan makes them fundamentally..."

"You won't see hallucinations," Mashiro added.

Hearing Mashiro's words, Hikari raised her head. She didn't believe she could be having such a hallucination. "Who are you?" Hikari asked, staring blankly at Mashiro.

"Me? I'm a spirit from the scene." Mashiro said with a smile. "A spirit?" Hikaru repeated Mashiro's words.

"I'm someone who died on the battlefield, but for some reason, I suddenly came back to life, though I have no body, only a soul." Mashiro spouted nonsense with a straight face.

"So people really do have souls." Hikaru believed Makoto's words very easily.

"My name is Mashiro. What's your name?" Mashiro asked softly, smiling at the girl in front of her.

Guang paused for a moment, her expression somewhat pale, and then said, "My name is Wuming, Wuming is my name."

Then a panel appeared before Mashiro's eyes. [Name: Anonymous (Uchiha Hikaru)]

Gender: Female Age: 14 Favorability: 10 Relationship: Strangers

Affection Reward (50): Eye Technique - Tsukuyomi, Eye Technique - Amaterasu Affection Reward (90): Eye Technique - Yasenya

Tsukuyomi + Amaterasu? This made Mashiro doubt the true identity of the girl in front of him. Although these two abilities were somewhat unremarkable to Mashiro at the moment, either one would still be an incredibly powerful force in the outside world. However, the combination of the two was only the reward of 50 points of favorability from the girl in front of him. This made Mashiro curious about the reward of 90 points of favorability from her.

Thinking of this, Mashiro's smile deepened.

"Nameless? That's a strange name. But judging from your appearance, you must be from the Uchiha clan," Shinji said softly. "Why do you say that?" Hikaru asked, puzzled.

How to put it? Black hair, black eyes, fair skin, a gloomy and cold demeanor with a weeping heart—basically, you have everything the Uchiha clan should have. And based on the elements…

"You're definitely still a pure-blooded Uchiha." Mashiro said with a light laugh.

Although Hikari didn't quite understand Mashiro's meaning, she still inexplicably felt that what Mashiro said made a lot of sense. "Do you know a lot about the Uchiha clan?" Hikari asked softly.

Perhaps because he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, Guang's voice trembled slightly and was a little hoarse.

“I’ve already said I’m a ghost from the battlefield, so of course I’ve dealt with the Uchiha clan. Not only the Uchiha, but also the Senju and Hyuga clans. You should be able to tell which clan I belong to just by looking at my eyes,” Mashiro said softly.

Upon hearing this, Hikaru looked into Mashiro's eyes. Her pure white eyes shone with a gentle light. Since her mother's death, no one had looked at her with such eyes for a long time, and Hikaru couldn't help but be captivated.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and shook his head. "I am a member of the Hyuga clan," Mashiro said.

From the girl's reaction to the light, Mashiro already understood that she was definitely ostracized within the Uchiha clan and had not received any formal education.

Yu was still confined here, and with the girl's powerful strength, he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"So, most of the Uchiha clan members have some kind of mental problem," Mashiro sighed again.

Furthermore, with the airing of Boruto, the Rinnegan has also shown many different colors and forms. Madara's is grayish-purple.

Sasuke's grayish-purple color with magatama

The upgraded gold Otsutsuki Momoshiki and the blue Otsutsuki Urashiki

Kaguya's red combined with Momoshiki's pure red magatama)

Chapter 111: Don't Be Sad

"Why is Nameless locked up here?" Mashiro asked with a smile. Hikaru answered, remaining silent and not uttering a word.

"How long has Mumei been imprisoned?" Sensing that Hikaru seemed to have something difficult to say, Mashiro didn't press further and changed the subject. "A long time," Hikaru replied softly.

"You must be lonely all by yourself." Mashiro stepped forward and gently hugged Hikaru.

Although Hikari felt nothing because Mashiro was a soul, Mashiro's actions still made Hikari's eyes widen slightly. "Does Mumei have any dreams?" Mashiro asked softly as she brought Hikari closer.

Guang finally recovered from his shock and pondered for a long time before shaking his head.

"Then the nameless one is truly pitiful," Mashiro said with some emotion. "You... Mashiro, do you have any dreams?" Hikaru asked unconsciously.

Her life had always been bleak, so she wanted to know, to know, the dreams of the person in front of her.

"My dream?" Mashiro smiled gently and then said, "My dream is to become the emperor of the entire ninja world and establish an ideal world of eternal peace."

Hikari was shocked by Mashiro's words. Living in a time of war, she did not know the meaning of peace. "Peace?" Hikari unconsciously began to imagine.

That night, Mashiro and Hikaru talked for a long time, although Mashiro did most of the talking and Hikaru listened. Morning.

While Hikaru was still fast asleep, Mashiro woke up and left the prison. She wandered freely.

They arrived at the nearby Uchiha clan compound; the prison was not far from the Uchiha clan's residence.

Looking at the current state of the Uchiha clan's territory—traditional wooden buildings, armor, guards, and clan banners—Mashiro muttered to himself, "This must be before the Warring States period."

Entering a wooden house located in the very center of the clan's territory, several middle-aged Uchiha clan members were talking inside.

“The Senju and Sarutobi clans have recently joined forces, and our situation has become dire. We estimate that war will break out soon,” said a middle-aged man with a scar on his face.

“This battle is a must, even if Senju and Sarutobi come together. If we lose and lose this fertile land, our clan’s life will become extremely difficult,” said a short, thin middle-aged man.

“Fight? How can we fight? We haven’t fully recovered from the last battle with the Senju, and we haven’t found any allies yet,” said the middle-aged man with the scar. The short, thin middle-aged man had no reply.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a serious expression said, "Send Nameless onto the field."

“But Nameless was seriously injured on the battlefield last time. She’s too young, and using the kaleidoscope for a long time would put a lot of strain on her body,” the scarred middle-aged man said hesitantly.

"This battle is extremely crucial; she has no choice," said the middle-aged man with a serious expression. The scarred middle-aged man said nothing more.

Mashiro, who had been listening for a long time, finally understood the general situation.

Through an afternoon of observation and experience in the Uchiha clan's territory, Mashiro had gained a general understanding of the nature of light.

"This strange phenomenon always occurs among Uchiha geniuses: despite possessing immense power, they still obey the orders of others, for..."

"Others have been sacrificed. Uchiha Shisui did it, Uchiha Itachi did it, and now this Uchiha Hikaru is doing the same thing. It's truly peculiar," Mashiro muttered to himself.

In Mashiro's view, Shisui's Kotoamatsukami possessed the power to change the entire Hidden Leaf Village. If he wanted, he could easily control the Third Hokage with just one eye.

He could control Fugaku with only one eye, but he didn't. He chose to obey the Third Hokage's orders and was eventually killed by Danzo. Tragically, he could have chosen to control or kill Danzo when Danzo attacked him, but he didn't. He chose to commit suicide.

The same goes for Itachi Uchiha. With Itachi and Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan and so many ninjas in the Uchiha clan, even if they couldn't stay in Konoha, Itachi could have easily led the Uchiha clan away from Konoha. Putting aside everything else, Onoki would definitely have welcomed him very much, but he still didn't. He chose to exterminate the entire clan, leaving behind a speechless Sasuke.

It seems that Uchiha Hikaru is the same. Despite having the power to fight against the entire Uchiha clan, he still chose to become a weapon and go to the battlefield for the Uchiha clan.

It can only be said that ideological poisoning is indeed harmful, especially since geniuses are often more sensitive and have more delicate thoughts.

So when Shisui entrusted Kotoamatsukami to her in his previous life and told her about its abilities, Mashiro was speechless at this amazing family. Then she turned around and used Shisui's "power to maintain peace in Konoha" to control the Third Hokage.

Now that she understood, Mashiro knew what to do. In the dungeon, Hikaru was staring blankly ahead, his eyes vacant.

She woke up to find that Zhenzi was gone. She was terrified that Zhenzi's appearance last night was just an illusion, and she was also terrified that Zhenzi had left and would never come back. She had been lonely for too long.

From morning until evening, Guang remained silent, staring blankly to the left and right, which even puzzled the tribespeople who brought her food.

"So, she's gone? Yeah, how could she possibly want to be with someone like me?" Hikaru muttered to herself, then sank back down. "Are you thinking about me?" Mashiro appeared out of nowhere from behind Hikaru.

"You're back." Guang breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously, a little joy welled up inside him.

"Would you like to hear a story?" Mashiro asked softly. Hikari nodded; she had never heard a story before.

“Then let me tell you a story about the mother of chakra,” Mashiro said softly, and then began to tell the story slowly.

"Long, long ago, there were many countries in this world. Among them, the country of Zu, the country of that country, the country of this country, and the country of that country were the most powerful. This story begins with the country of Zu among these countries."

Over the next few days, Mashiro explored the world during the day, visiting various places and meeting the Ute clan, the Sarutobi clan, and the Mochizuki clan.

They also discovered the Hyuga clan in a secluded valley. The Hyuga clan seemed to have always lived in seclusion and did not participate much in the wars outside. In Mashiro's memory, the Hyuga clan only appeared in a high-profile manner when Konoha was founded.

That evening, she told Hikaru stories about Kaguya, but changed the name of the other protagonist to Zero. Hikaru showed great interest in the stories Mashiro told, and her affection for her gradually increased.

However, because she was considered a monster at a very young age and was quickly imprisoned, she became incredibly insensitive to emotions, even...

Because of some emotional deficiencies, Mashiro has given up on her plan to quickly increase Hikari's affection level. What she is doing now is planting a seed in Hikari's heart.

This seed will take root and sprout when the two meet again.

Mashiro believes she has the power to travel through time, so she thinks she will come back. Of course, if she can't come back, then there's nothing she can do.

However, to Mashiro's surprise, although she did not gain the power to travel through time in the future, she still met Uchiha Hikaru, and the seed that she had planted many years ago sprouted and grew.

"...Before leaving, Zero entrusted two things to Kaguya's attendant, Takeru. The first was to take Kaguya to the Land of Ancestors if she harbored rebellious intentions in the well, and the second was to give Kaguya a letter if the Emperor was unable to fulfill his promise."

After doing all that, Zero found the Dragon Vein and then disappeared along with it. "Mashiro slowly recounted the story. "And then? And then what? What happened to Kaguya next?" Hikaru asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, I don't know either," Mashiro said softly. *Hoo* Hikaru sighed helplessly.

“However, I can tell you the contents of that letter,” Mashiro said with a smile, observing Hikaru’s expression. Hikaru stared directly at Mashiro.

"Don't be sad about my departure. Just keep going on your own path and build a paradise on earth. We will meet again someday," Mashiro said, enunciating each word clearly. She then reached out to stroke Hikaru's head, but the hand passed right through her, leaving her with no choice but to withdraw it.

Guang carefully pondered the meaning of this passage.

“These words are also what I wanted to say to you, Nameless,” Mashiro said softly.

"What do you mean?" Kuro looked at Mashiro with some confusion. Mashiro shook her head and didn't say anything.

Chapter 112: Minato and Kushina

As time went by, Hikari's affection level had reached 40, and Mashiro only had one day left before she left.

Mashiro wasn't really bothered by not getting the reward. She had planted a seed in Hikari's heart, waiting for it to sprout and take root when Hikari realized it. If she never had the chance to come here again, then she could consider this time as just spending time with her precious "little darling" and chatting about things.

"Mashiro. What are you laughing at?" Hikaru asked softly.

"It's nothing, I just think Mumei is cute," Mashiro said softly.

There's another important reason why Mashiro likes to chat with Hikari: Hikari looks a lot like her in her previous life when she was Zero. In Mashiro's previous life, Madara once said that she looked a lot like his younger brother Izuna, and Izuna also said that she looked somewhat like Sasuke. So Mashiro's appearance in her previous life was roughly a combination of Izuna and Sasuke, but more feminine.

Furthermore, Hikari's appearance is very similar to Zero's, which makes one marvel at the genetic similarity among the strong members of the Uchiha clan. Therefore, talking to Hikari always gives Mashiro a sense of déjà vu, as if he were talking to himself when he was a child.

"What are you planning to do, Nameless? Are you going to stay here forever? This dark and gloomy dungeon is not your home," Mashiro suddenly asked. Hikari fell silent; she didn't know the answer.

"Has Nameless ever been to the flower sea? It's a place in the central part of the Land of Fire, where all sorts of colorful flowers bloom," Mashiro described softly.
