Chapter 40:
“…”
Uchiha Fugaku hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in response: "Okay, then we will listen to you and try again."
Then.
He asked another question a little impatiently: "Grandma, I wonder if you have time to come back to the clan recently? The clan members are looking forward to seeing your true face and showing you the filial piety that the younger generation should have."
"…Let's talk about it another day."
Uchiha Guang's main focus now is still on the "sealing technique".
And she probably also heard that although Uchiha Fugaku and others respectfully called her "Grandma", they probably still treated her as a child. The main reason for inviting her was not "filial piety" - after all, they had never even met, so how could they have filial piety - but because they saw her strength and wanted to pull her, the young grandmother, to endorse the Uchiha clan and put pressure on Konoha.
She didn't like the style of Konoha's senior officials.
But she didn't want to be used by others and take advantage of others.
Just at this time.
Uchiha Hikaru caught a glimpse of Sarutobi Hiruzen from above the corridor. He was wearing a divine robe and hurried over from the direction of the Hokage Building, followed by Uzuki Yugao and two other Anbu.
"Here, Sarutobi brat is here."
"Just right, you guys chat. Keep your voice down when you quarrel later, the soundproofing of this house is not very good."
Uchiha Hikaru raised his chin towards Uchiha Fugaku, and then glanced at Kakashi standing in the corner: "White-haired brat over there, remember to ask Sarutobi when you can let me read "The Book of Seals", my patience is running out."
It has been several days since the Root Base incident.
Uchiha Hikaru can understand that Danzo left a lot of mess and it takes time to deal with it, but after waiting for so long, she is a little impatient.
Throwing down this sentence, she went back to the house and closed the door, turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window, and continued to explore the "Eight Thousand Spears".
...
Uchiha Hikaru didn't know what the result of the negotiation that day was.
But starting from the second day, the Uchiha clan would send people to deliver a bunch of fruits, fish and meat to Naruto's door every morning, and stay for a while before leaving.
Uchiha Hikaru did not deliberately meet the people who sent the food, but did not refuse the food. Instead, he threw all of it to Naruto to wash and cook, which was considered to improve the food for the two of them.
The fruits in Konoha Village are still quite expensive. If you can eat them for free, there is naturally no need to spend money yourself.
On the morning of the third day.
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally knocked on the door again, saying that he wanted to take Uchiha Hikaru to see the "Book of Seals".
...
Sarutobi Hiruzen's house.
A dark room with flickering lights.
Uchiha Hikaru ignored the layers of protective barriers around him and the Anbu who were on high alert. He looked up at the huge scroll in front of him that was almost as tall as himself:
"Is this Konoha's "Book of Sealings"?
"Yes."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, his tone very serious: "The "Book of Sealings" is of great significance to Konoha. Even I, the current Hokage, can only watch it here and cannot take it out at will... Miss Hikaru, please understand."
(Come on, the Book of Sealings that Naruto took out was fake, right?)
(Wait...)
This "Book of Sealings" in front of him, can't it be fake?
Uchiha Hikaru suddenly became more cautious. After laying the scroll down, spreading it out, and sitting cross-legged, he turned on the camera function of the chat group, took a photo and uploaded it.
【Nameless: Picture.jpg】
【Nameless @Yongdaimei: Fourth generation, please help me take a look. Is there any problem with the records of these ninjutsu? ]
[Eidaimei: This is... "The Book of Sealing"? ! You actually borrowed it? ]
[Wumi: Well, I talked to the Sandai for a few words and he agreed. He's quite nice. ]
[Eidaimei: ...If you only look at the few techniques you sent, there's no problem. But I haven't actually read the scroll in its entirety, because many of the ninjutsu recorded in it will cause great harm to the user or violate the laws of nature, and there's not much learning value, so I just glanced at it and may not be able to recognize all of them. ]
[Wumi: It doesn't matter. ]
With Minato Namikaze helping to check, Uchiha Hikaru felt a little relieved.
She wasn't greedy.
Just as Minato Namikaze said, there are many forbidden techniques recorded in the "Book of Sealing", but not many are really worth learning.
Multiple Shadow Clones, Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, Darkness Technique, Impure World Reincarnation... These are definitely the ones to focus on.
Although the first two are easy to cause damage to the body, as long as you have enough self-control and don't exceed your own tolerance limit, it will be fine. As for "Immortal Reincarnation", Uchiha Hikaru is more of a learner. If you really want to use this forbidden technique, you will probably have to find the improved version in Orochimaru's hands.
There is another one...
"Multiplication Detonating Talisman!"
This ninjutsu was also invented by the forbidden technique master Senju Tobirama. It uses the principle of summoning. As long as there is a detonating talisman as a trigger, you can constantly summon new detonating talismans for unlimited explosions. The power is so strong that it can blow up the Myojin Gate and injure the Ten-Tails split body. The disadvantage is that the power is too strong and cannot be stopped actively, which may involve the caster himself, and generally needs to be used in conjunction with "Immortal Reincarnation".
However...
For Uchiha Hikaru, these defects can be overcome in a way.
She has Susanoo, which can withstand the impact of explosions, and has the dual recovery power brought by her own physique and Senzu beans. Although it is not as outrageous as the body of the Impure World Reincarnation, in theory, she can really withstand the damage of a set of multiplied detonating tags.
If it really comes to a critical moment, it is not impossible to use this trick as a trump card.
A whole day.
Uchiha Hikari spent it in the dark room, carefully reading and memorizing the contents of the scroll.
She brought some snacks in advance and put them beside her, eating a little when she was hungry.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also sat not far away, reviewing official documents.
Until the evening.
After reading the entire scroll, Uchiha Hikari stood up, moved his neck a few times, and stretched his waist.
Sarutobi Hiruzen next to him turned his head and looked over at the first time: "Have you finished reading it?"
"Almost."
Uchiha Guang answered casually, and then thanked: "Thanks, Sarutobi kid."
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, and then looked over with a pair of turbid eyes: "Miss Guang, do you want to talk?"
"Hmm?"
Uchiha Guang raised his eyebrows: "What to talk about?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became serious: "I want to ask, what do you think of the Uchiha clan in Konoha?"
"?"
Uchiha Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes stayed on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face for a few seconds, and then slowly sat back in place: "What do you want to say, be more direct, I don't have time to play guessing games with you."
