Uchiha Hikari was about to tell her past to Shindai and Pakura.
Shindai immediately sat up straight, his ears fully alert.
He had wanted to know for a long time, but Uchiha Hikari always gave Shindai a Byakugan and refused to speak.
Pakura was also very curious; she had never directly asked about Uchiha Hikari's past because she had already imagined everything.
And now, it was time to verify if her imaginings were correct!
Uchiha Hikari began to recount: "My true name is Uchiha Hikari. My parents hoped I could stay away from the darkness of war and walk in the light, but unfortunately, I was not able to stay away from the darkness of war at that time. I was always in hell because I was born in a turbulent era, the Warring States Period."
Shindai and Pakura stared blankly at Uchiha Hikari.
Warring States Period?
Shindai reached out and patted Uchiha Hikari's shoulder: "Ashita Natsu, I think you might be tired; your brain seems to be having problems."
Uchiha Hikari unhappily slapped Shindai's hand away: "What I'm saying is true. Listen to me. If you interrupt again, don't think I won't do anything just because you're lying in a hospital bed!"
Shindai retracted his hand, looking as if he was saying, 'Go ahead and brag, I'll lose if I believe you.'
Uchiha Hikari was already itching to hit someone. After finally deciding to confront her past and tell it to Shindai and Pakura, this guy Shindai actually didn't believe her.
After strongly suppressing the urge to hit him, Uchiha Hikari continued: "When my parents were still alive, although life was very hard, I was still very happy. But on that day, everything changed. In a confrontation with the Senju Clan, my parents were killed, and I became an orphan.
Because of the intense grief, I awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and my nightmare also began. I awakened the Eight Thousand Spears, a dojutsu that no one had ever awakened before. As someone who has experienced the power of Eight Thousand Spears, Shindai, you should also understand how powerful this dojutsu is.
I can freely manipulate the Chakra of those marked on their bodies, transfer it to those who need Chakra more for reinforcement, and even control the minds of enemy Ninja through the marks for my own use.
Because of the Eight Thousand Spears dojutsu, after it was discovered by my Uchiha, I was trained as a weapon to fight against the Senju Clan. When not in battle, I was held in a prison. When in battle, I was released. No one knew my name; they only called me Nameless."
Shindai suddenly realized: "No wonder you said your name was Nameless when we first met. I was wondering at the time, how could anyone have such a name?"
Uchiha Hikari nodded and continued: "At that time, I didn't know I had come decades into the future. I was worried you were an enemy, so I told you the name Nameless.
When I was used as a weapon, to enhance my power, they transplanted the Mangekyo Sharingan of fallen Uchiha onto me. This is why I possess Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi, and Tsukuyomi.
Finally, because my performance on the battlefield was too formidable, causing the Ninja clans led by the Senju Clan to suffer several defeats, they were very wary of me. Eventually, the Senju Clan and the Sarutobi Clan set a trap and ambush for me, jointly sealing me away.
This is my past before being sealed. As for after being sealed... it started when I met you, Shindai."
Shindai and Pakura listened, somewhat dazed.
Although it sounded plausible, the Warring States Period was a bit too outlandish.
At this moment, someone walked into Shindai's hospital room. The person who entered was Minato Namikaze.
"Ashita Natsu is telling the truth."
Shindai looked at Minato Namikaze and asked, puzzled: "Oh, it's Minato-sama. Have you recovered?"
Minato Namikaze smiled and said: "I wasn't seriously injured to begin with. Obito and the others just told me you had woken up, so I came to see you. In some historical documents of the Uchiha Clan and Hiruzen Sarutobi, this matter has been confirmed. Ashita Natsu indeed comes from the Warring States Period."
Shindai stared at Uchiha Hikari's face for a long time, then suddenly exclaimed in shock: "My goodness, the Warring States Period... So you're Great-Grandma Uchiha!"
Hearing 'Great-Grandma Uchiha,' Uchiha Hikari could no longer hold back and slammed her head hard into Shindai's head.
"Hiss!"
Shindai clutched his head and gasped, tears welling up in his eyes: "I'm a patient!"
Uchiha Hikari retorted unhappily: "A patient? Why hasn't your mouth been silenced by illness!"
Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly: "Alright, everything for Ashita Natsu while she was sealed was frozen, so those decades of being sealed are a blank. Therefore, Ashita Natsu and Shindai are the same age, not great-grandma."
Pakura exclaimed: "I never expected Ashita Natsu to have such a past. It's alright, things will get better and better from now on."
Pakura, feeling a bit heartbroken, embraced Uchiha Hikari, comforting her.
Uchiha Hikari allowed Pakura to hold her, a faint smile appearing on her face as she softly hummed in affirmation.
Shindai looked at Pakura, then at Uchiha Hikari, his pupils wide with shock. He tremblingly pointed at the two of them: "You, you, you two, no wonder, no wonder you two bathe together. So that's how it is, I understand!"
Pakura and Uchiha Hikari frowned, looking at Shindai: "What do you understand now?"
Shindai quickly covered his mouth: "No, no, no, I don't understand, I don't understand anything. I can understand, and I won't discriminate, I'll give my blessings, really, just pretend I'm air."
Pakura and Uchiha Hikari's brows furrowed tighter. Shindai's mind was definitely thinking something messy again.
Minato Namikaze also felt that Shindai had definitely misunderstood, and quite ridiculously so, but he wasn't sure how far Shindai's thoughts had strayed. Sometimes, Shindai's thought process was truly hard to follow.
Shindai's heart was pounding wildly.
This was too exciting. He really didn't expect the usually serious-looking Pakura and Uchiha Hikari to be so open-minded, even excessively so.
But... if they were so open-minded, why did they react so strongly when he opened the Puppet Shop before?
These two are such hypocrites!
Minato Namikaze looked at Uchiha Hikari with a serious expression and said: "Ashita Natsu, I think after such a long time, you must have confirmed it, right? The Uchiha are changing now. Although some Uchiha are still a bit extreme, overall, everyone is quite good.
Moreover, I think you've also found your bond in Konoha..."
Minato Namikaze glanced at Shindai.
Shindai was puzzled by Minato Namikaze's gaze. Why look at him? Look at Pakura! Uchiha Hikari's bond is Pakura!
Minato Namikaze said solemnly: "Therefore, I would like to formally invite you to join Konoha and become a part of Konoha!"
