XX-level Hokage

"But don't worry, you'll recover in a week. During this time, the system will protect your body," the system explained in a stiff, mechanical voice.

"So where is my body now?" Mashiro asked. [At the time the Dragon Vein was activated.] The system replied.

In Mashiro's memory, apart from herself, the Dragon Vein was activated twice: once during the Third Hokage's reign, when Minato was in charge of sealing it, and once during Tsunade's reign, when Naruto resolved it.

Since she traveled from the past, her body should now be in the era of the third generation of rulers. In other words...

Meanwhile, in Loulan.

"Lord Minato, a girl has appeared at the place where the dragon vein was sealed," a Chunin said to Minato.

Minato had just reinforced the seal on the dragon vein when he heard the news and rushed over. There he saw Mashiro's body lying on the ground...

"Okay, I already know where my body will appear," Mashiro said helplessly.

[The lottery is starting; I'm about to go to sleep.] the system said. Then a panel appeared out of thin air, displaying three boxes. Mashiro casually clicked on the middle one.

A flash of purple light appeared, the box opened, and a transparent crystal ball materialized out of thin air, landing in Mashiro's hand. Then the panel disappeared. "What is this?" Mashiro looked at the transparent crystal ball in her hand.

The system is not responding. "Is it asleep?" The desktop is unresponsive.

Mashiro unfolded the system panel, then aimed it at the transparent crystal ball. Immediately afterward, a line of text appeared on the panel.

[Copy Crystal (One-Time Use Item): Can perfectly replicate a life form one-to-one. The replicated entity possesses independent thought and will always have similarities to the original.]

The ability of consistency allows the user to control the life and death of the copied entity, but not its mind.

"Not bad, this item might play an important role," Mashiro muttered to himself, then put the crystal ball into his pocket. As expected of a system product, it can even be put into his pocket while still in its current state.

Chapter 110: The Nameless Light (Part 2)

Mashiro felt relieved after learning the details. Since she could recover in a week, she didn't need to do anything special.

“However, I forgot to ask the system what time my soul is in now,” Mashiro muttered to herself, then began to observe her surroundings. This was a dungeon, which looked like it hadn’t been built long ago; the ground was still clean, and there were no sounds of prisoners groaning from the surroundings.

Mashiro began to look around through the wall. Suddenly, in the deepest cell, Mashiro saw a prisoner. This was the first, and perhaps the only, prisoner Mashiro found in this prison.

Mashiro saw the prisoner's entire face. This is...

Uchiha Hikari was tightly chained, her eyes vacant, lost in thought. No, as a "weapon," she shouldn't need to think about anything.

"Are you from the Uchiha clan? How did you end up locked up here?" A voice suddenly reached Uchiha Hikaru's ears.

Hikari looked up but saw no one. Was it a hallucination? She lowered her head again. Hikari assumed it was just loneliness causing her to hallucinate.

"Yes, I forgot, I'm in a spirit state right now, she can't see me." Mashiro stood in front of Hikari, watching Hikari's movements, and suddenly realized this fact.

"It seems this is the only way," Mashiro muttered to herself.

Then her eyes transformed into the Rinnegan, but unlike the ones she had obtained from the system before, Mashiro's current Rinnegan faintly possessed a pale blue hue. Although she didn't notice it immediately because she didn't have a mirror, she sensed it within the Dragon Vein; after acquiring the Otsutsuki bloodline...

Her chakra, her Rinnegan, Byakugan, and Mangekyou Sharingan have all undergone miraculous changes, but because they are separated from her body, she has not yet been able to fully experience them.

However, Mashiro felt confident she could use genjutsu to completely hypnotize the girl in front of her. Mashiro glanced at Hikari; although she had no chakra, her ocular power remained.

This girl is very strong, both in terms of chakra reserves and eye power; that was Mashiro's first impression.

When Mashiro's eye power invaded the girl's body, Mashiro deeply sensed the girl's strength; her chakra level was...

While she may not be on par with the Tailed Beasts, she's nearly as powerful. As for her eye power, she has definitely awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

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.
