Uchiha Light

Yuma urged Tsunade impatiently.

Tsunade, clearly annoyed, rolled her eyes.

"You impatient brat... Let me be frank: this sealing technique stops the flow of time within the seal!"

Tsunade clicked her tongue in disbelief. "Who on earth came up with this idea? After sealing the enemy, shouldn't they be sealed to death? Instead, they stop the flow of time? Are they worried the enemy won't die and will later break free? What's even more outrageous is that this seal is incredibly easy to break!"

At this, Tsunade, now scoffing at the seal, gathered chakra in her hand.

She raised her hand high, squatted down suddenly, and slammed the ground.

—Boom, boom, boom!

As Tsunade channeled chakra, the seal's runes flickered briefly. Before the glow could last, she formed a few hand seals and slammed the ground again.

With a loud crack, the sealing rune dissipated.

Seeing this, Yuma immediately activated his Sharingan.

He didn't comment on Tsunade's complaints. While he could understand why the seal had turned out this way—it was created by Tsunade's ancestors—he felt it wasn't his place, as an Uchiha, to criticize it.

What mattered now, though, was the potential danger of releasing Uchiha Hikaru. If her strength turned out to be truly extraordinary, he'd need to be extra cautious.

Yuma had a strong sense of caution, knowing firsthand the dangers of someone wielding powerful eye techniques, such as the Mangekyō Sharingan. Though his own pupil power surpassed that of many, he knew that the "Eight Thousand Spears," an eye technique of Uchiha Hikaru, was particularly dangerous.

In his game experience, the Eight Thousand Spears could control anyone it marked, even brainwashing them. Unlike Distinguished Heavenly Gods, which could only control one person at a time, this technique could mark and control many at once, draining their chakra and using it for the user's benefit.

This made the technique comparable to a mini version of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, with the ability to manipulate and absorb the chakra of others. Given its destructive potential, Yuma knew he couldn't afford to underestimate it.

"Even Naruto could be brainwashed by it in the later stages," Yuma thought. "If he could fall victim, then I definitely need to be careful!"

For Uchiha Hikaru, time seemed to stand still.

The last thing she remembered was being sealed, and now, in an instant, she saw the handsome Uchiha boy standing before her, smiling.

Had her clan rescued her?

She felt embarrassed at the thought. When she had been sealed, she had been cursing everyone, especially her own family, for her miserable fate.

The moment she was sealed, a strange chakra had interfered with her chakra system, leaving her unable to use any of her chakra, and thus, her eye techniques were useless.

At that time, the only logical explanation seemed to be that her family had sealed her, using their special "transcription seal" to lock her away, even though she had multiple powerful eye techniques.

But now, seeing the boy before her and the Uchiha clan's symbol on his attire, she realized she had misunderstood. There was no reason for someone to rescue her if they were the ones who had wronged her.

"You saved me?" she asked calmly.

Yuma, now understanding the situation, looked at the girl in front of him. She appeared to be about his age, maybe ten years old, with long, wild black hair—her hair reminded him strangely of Uchiha Madara's.

Despite the wild hair, her beauty shone through.

"Yes, my name is Uchiha Yuma. I, along with Tsunade-sensei and Shizune, unsealed you," Yuma replied, introducing the others. He then smiled and extended a hand toward the girl.

At this moment, Hikaru began to realize that Yuma was the first Uchiha clan member to show her any kindness since she awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Before that, the clan had been cruel to her, trying to erase the memory of her parents and brainwashing her, forcing her into becoming a weapon. She had been filled with hatred, but this Uchiha boy was different.

"Thank you for saving me!" Hikaru said nervously, grasping Yuma's hand.

The moment she did, Yuma noticed the red light of an entry flash in his vision.

With little more to say, Yuma immediately turned to the system in his mind.

"System, extract the red entries!"
