Chapter 34: What do you think of the name Uchiha Hikari? (Please follow for updates)

I never imagined the world has become like this.

Standing on a tree, Uchiha No Name watched Yuzhi, who was searching for the so-called 'other villages' ninja corpses, and she too felt a bit dazed for a moment.

After a few days of recuperation, she indeed discovered that Yuzhi was very different from other Uchiha Clan.

Moreover, after learning more, she also came to know some of the current situation.

She herself could hardly believe that she had been sealed away for over a hundred years.

During this period, the ninja world was no longer surviving in a clan-based model, but had become the ninja village model.

What surprised and bewildered her most was that the Uchiha Clan had actually reconciled with the Senju Clan of old and together founded a village!

So then, what was the meaning of my existence back then?

This question left her puzzled, but it did not affect her desire to destroy the Uchiha Clan.

Because this clan has never changed!

She was also utterly astonished that Yuzhi would have said back then, 'Let's burn the Uchiha Clan to ashes together.'

But only after learning about Yuzhi's past did she realize that Yuzhi and she herself had similar experiences.

Both were valued by the family after showing their abilities, and both were forcibly bound by 'family honor'.

Only Yuzhi's luck was better than hers, and he did not suffer that inhuman torment.

Fellow sufferers sympathize with each other; moreover, Yuzhi saved her, and they also share the same goal.

So even if she still doesn't fully trust Yuzhi—after all, he is an Uchiha Clan—they can still cooperate, as long as she is a bit careful.

Who exactly are they coming for?

Yuzhi did not know what the girl behind him was thinking; after searching the bodies of these few Cloud Ninja, he inevitably fell into contemplation.

These Cloud Ninja were originally his mission this time; according to intelligence, they seemed to be monitoring and gathering information.

Moreover, they were very stubborn; even in death they would not say anything.

However, this is not a big deal; as long as he completes the mission, it's fine.

But completing the mission did not make him happy, because he still has other things to worry about.

And the person giving him a headache is none other than Uchiha No Name.

Although this girl's ideas are somewhat extreme, on this grand stage of the Uchiha Clan, what kind of lunatic hasn't appeared?

What worries him now is not her extreme ideas, but how to bring her into Leaf Village!

After all, before setting out he never even considered that he would bring back a living person.

What's wrong, you look worried—what's the problem?

Just as Yuzhi was worrying, Uchiha No Name walked over, looked at him expressionlessly, and asked.

Or are you saying you've regretted it?

Regretted?

Yuzhi almost couldn't hold back upon hearing that; for the mission, how could he possibly regret it?

I'm just thinking about how to bring you back to the village, after all, during wartime the village's management is very strict.

Hmph, that's your problem.

Uchiha No Name let out a soft snort upon hearing that.

Ninja are indeed like that; war never ceases as long as there are ninja.

Alright, now is not the time to discuss this.

Yuzhi really shouldn't want to discuss these with her; her current mental state is somewhat like that of Sasuke after the future clan massacre.

Of course, compared to Sasuke, she is still more rational and easier to deal with.

Let's think about how to enter the village; otherwise we won't be able to enter the clan, and then we won't be able to do what we want to do.

Uchiha No Name glanced at Yuzhi; this time she did not refute.

Her original idea was to directly burn the Uchiha Clan, but Yuzhi directly vetoed her idea.

Moreover, the reason Yuzhi gave also left her unable to refute for a moment.

Perhaps you have the ability to do this, but if you act inside a village, do you think others won't come to reinforce?

No matter how strong you are, you're still just one person; when the rescue team arrives, you'll have only a dead end.

By then, you'll have no chance left.

This reason is fairly sufficient; after some thought she eventually agreed with Yuzhi's idea, to slowly wait for an opportunity before acting.

I don't understand this era; you figure it out yourself.

Uchiha No Name turned her head aside, her gaze looking to one side.

Besides, someone is coming over.

Huh?

Upon hearing that, Yuzhi originally wanted to ask if he could use genjutsu against the guards, but now it's clearly inappropriate.

The war hasn't ended; even now in the Land of Fire, one must remain vigilant at all times.

Not long after, a figure suddenly appeared on the branch ahead, and upon seeing Yuzhi, he couldn't help but laugh.

I was wondering who was fighting here; isn't this our hero Yuzhi?

Master Ziraiye is overpraising.

Upon seeing the person, Yuzhi also smiled; the person was indeed Master Ziraiye!

However, Yuzhi also had some doubts in his heart: why would Master Ziraiye appear here?

The frontline battles in Grass Country are gradually stabilizing, and both sides may begin negotiations.

But even so, as a frontline commander, he shouldn't be appearing in the Land of Fire, should he?

However, Yuzhi did not ask, for that would only make himself seem rude.

"Now that the troublesome matters are being quickly resolved, I naturally want to sneakily slack off, and does Leaf Village also have to hold a funeral?"

Ziraiye seemed to notice Yuzhi's confusion, and he smiled directly as he said.

"So, I came back together with the people of the Rotating Unit, and since there are Lu Jiu and the others at the front, there won't be any problem."

As they spoke, many Leaf Village ninja stepped out from all sides, clearly having followed Ziraiye.

"Yuzhi, hello!"

"I didn't expect to meet you, Yuzhi, here."

"Long time no see, Yuzhi."

These Leaf Village ninja, upon seeing Yuzhi, immediately wore friendly smiles and greeted him warmly.

Uchiha No Name saw the scene and slightly frowned; she could feel these people's goodwill.

But she was very unaccustomed to such a situation, and these people had come for Yuzhi, so in the end she just stood silently in the corner watching.

"Alright, you bunch of guys, I already said I'm just coming over to take a look."

Ziraiye waved his hand, smiling as he interrupted them.

"Go back, you all are making Yuzhi embarrassed."

"Yes, Lord Ziraiye."

These Leaf Village ninja, hearing that, no longer lingered; they also wanted to return home quickly.

But as they left, each of them smiled and nodded at Yuzhi.

"Are you on a mission?"

After they left, Ziraiye finally looked at the corpse of a Cloud Ninja on the ground.

"Hmm, they came to surveil and gather intelligence, and I should have an answer now."

Yuzhi nodded, his gaze fixed on Ziraiye as he said.

"It seems Cloud Village isn't that peaceful either, and their infiltration is quite deep."

Ziraiye instantly understood, then let out a sigh.

"Seal the corpse and take it back, and would you like to come back with us?"

"Here."

Yuzhi instinctively wanted to refuse, but the next moment he suddenly thought of something, and immediately smiled and nodded.

"Then thank you, Lord Ziraiye."

"Thanks for what? Everyone wants to see you, the hero."

Ziraiye let out a bold laugh, then turned to rejoin the main force.

Watching Ziraiye's departing figure, Yuzhi couldn't help but smile.

He was probably worried about his safety, which is why he let him go back together.

I have to admit, Ziraiye really is a good person.

And going back with his unit, the village won't investigate so strictly!

"Are we going to follow them?"

After Ziraiye left, Uchiha No Name finally walked over.

"Hmm, going back with them can avoid a lot of trouble."

Yuzhi glanced at Uchiha No Name behind him, thought for a moment, then simply removed his forehead band and handed it over.

"Put it on; at least you'll look a bit disguised."

Uchiha No Name hesitated a moment looking at the forehead band, but still took it.

"And you?"

"I'm fine; there are still quite a few people in the village who know me, and there's one more thing."

Looking at the girl who had set down her hair tie and was fastening the forehead band, Yuzhi stroked his chin before speaking.

"What?" Uchiha No Name looked at Yuzhi, puzzled.

"Uchiha No Name means 'no name', but you are no longer a weapon of the Uchiha Clan now."

Yuzhi looked at the girl before him and slowly said.

"You were originally in darkness, just as if you were sealed underground."

"But now you have your own will and thoughts; this is following the steps of light."

"I think you could change your name; what do you think, how about the name Uchiha Guang?"

"Uchiha Guang?"

A newbie kneels, begging for a reread; now a reread will decide the whole book's destiny, raising a book is easy, killing it is easy.

Thanks to all the big guys, Onz.
