Chapter 156: Uchiha Hikaru comes to Miaomu Mountain
"I don't feel regret. Perhaps this is my fate. Destiny has left me with only this ending, and I can only accept it..."
Wuming lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.
Her words had barely faded
Wanci simply replied calmly, "I am destiny."
Wuming was suddenly startled, staring blankly at Wanci, his pupils trembling slightly.
Yes, how could she forget? The person in front of her was the legendary Sage of Six Paths, the founder of the Ninja Cult, the one who established the order of the Ninja World and controlled the fate of all ninjas.
Before him, so-called destiny was determined by his word.
Before Wuming could recover, Wanci's voice rang out again: "Go, I will grant you a new life."
The moment the words fell, the Rinnegan slowly appeared in Manji's eyes, its purple light rapidly shifting.
The next second, a gentle yet irresistible force softly enveloped the nameless soul.
It captured the fragile soul ten thousand times and then left this desolate place in an instant.
When I opened my eyes again, the atmosphere around me was completely different.
The nameless consciousness first plunged into complete darkness.
I was briefly thrown into a state of confusion, followed by a refreshing scent of herbs and plants that filled my senses.
She suddenly opened her eyes and was greeted by lush ancient trees, swirling white mist, and the faint sound of frogs croaking. Everywhere was full of vitality and peace, completely different from the cold, pure land.
"here it is....."
Wuming looked around blankly, his young face full of doubt, his hands unconsciously clenching. He was completely at a loss in this sudden and unfamiliar environment.
Just as she was feeling lost, a figure with a cool and aloof demeanor slowly stepped out from the tall courtyard ahead.
The woman had long, flowing hair and an ethereal beauty.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's gaze fell on the nameless man, her originally cold expression softening slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Wanci, that's fast, you brought the person here so quickly."
Kaguya spoke softly.
Wan nodded slightly, his tone indifferent: "It took a little effort, but it wasn't troublesome."
Manji turned to look at the nameless woman beside him, who still looked completely bewildered, pointed in Kaguya's direction, and slowly said, "From now on, you will live with her and settle down peacefully on Mount Myōboku."
"..."
The nameless girl timidly raised her eyes and stole a glance at the aloof Kaguya, her small body shrinking slightly.
"Is this the Uchiha clan girl?"
Seeing this, Kaguya showed no impatience. Instead, she slowly stepped forward, bent down slightly, looked gently at the petite girl before her, and softly asked, "Do you have a name?"
Nameless shook his head blankly, his voice barely audible: "I have no name, they all call me Nameless."
Upon hearing this, Kaguya turned to look at Manji, her eyes filled with inquiry, clearly wanting to know the child's true origins and real name.
Manji's gaze darkened slightly as he slowly spoke: "She was originally a member of the Uchiha clan, but her clan treated her as a cold weapon and used her wantonly. Even her original name was completely stripped away, and she was only referred to as 'Nameless.' In reality, she had her own name: Uchiha Hikaru."
Wanci remembers that this is the name in the original work.
Upon hearing this, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, followed by a surge of intense anger and sympathy:
"The Uchiha clan is truly despicable. Such an obedient little girl should have been cherished, but they are so cruel as to steal her name. It is utterly despicable."
Wan shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness: "That's just how times are."
"I remember that the Uchiha clan used to be very kind to orphans, and they were the best clan in the ninja world when it came to orphans."
But later, the Uchiha clan gradually fell into a disadvantageous position in the ninja world, and the rules and warmth that had been shown to treat orphans well vanished along with the changing circumstances.
After finishing speaking, he gave Kaguya a deep look.
"I remember, didn't you also make girls under the age of twelve sacrifice themselves to the sacred tree before?"
Wanci said coldly.
I clearly remember that Kaguya sacrificed her haori before.
That was Yu Yi's first love.
This is also the reason why Kaguya and Hagoromo broke up.
Kaguya said nothing more, but gently took Uchiha Hikaru's cool little hand.
Kaguya looked at her tenderly and said softly, "From now on, you can call me older sister, and you don't have to call me Mumei anymore. Your name is Hikari, Uchiha Hikari, and you will live with me on Mount Myōboku."
"Yes, from now on, if you have any problems on Mount Myōboku, you can come to me."
Wanci added a sentence, his expression more serene than before.
Uchiha Hikaru looked quietly at Kaguya, who was treating her so gently, and at the Sage of Six Paths, who was revered by the entire ninja world and was considered sacred and inviolable. Suddenly, her nose tingled and her eyes reddened instantly.
For so many years, she lived like a weapon in the Uchiha clan, with no one ever caring about her well-being or her joys and sorrows.
Not to mention giving her a name or a place to stay.
But now, the legendary Sage of Six Paths has personally reshaped her body, giving her a new life.
And then there was this kind older sister who was willing to take her in. This sudden warmth made Guang's pent-up grievances and longings burst forth instantly.
Tears streamed down the child's tender cheeks.
For a moment, Uchiha Hikaru forgot that the person in front of him was the high and mighty Sage of Six Paths, and his heart was filled with gratitude and emotion.
She excitedly took small steps forward, rushed forward, and hugged Wanci tightly around the waist, burying her face in his robes.
Uchiha Hikaru sobbed, stammering, "Thank you! Thank you!"
Wanci frowned slightly at the sudden hug.
I instinctively wanted to dodge
Having held a high position for many years, he had long been accustomed to the awe and distance from others, and no one had ever been so close to him before.
No one has hugged me like this in centuries...
But looking down at the thin, trembling child crying in her arms, her frail body full of grievance, Wanci still withdrew her hand that wanted to push her away, unwilling to hurt this heart that had just been warmed.
Uchiha Hikaru was short, only reaching about chest level, and looked particularly frail as he hugged him.
Kaguya Otsutsuki, standing to the side, watched Hikaru holding Manji and crying, and the corners of her mouth slightly pursed up.
A few seconds later
Uchiha Hikari's crying gradually stopped. She suddenly realized what she had done, and a deep sense of terror flashed across her face. Her small hands froze instantly. She hurriedly let go of her hands, took a small step back, and her heart pounded.
"Immortal! You..."
She looked up and met Wanci's eyes.
Wanci was looking at her with a half-smile, showing no anger, yet it still made her panic.
"Please forgive me, Sage!" Uchiha Hikaru exclaimed, his face pale. He hurriedly tried to bow his head and apologize, but was interrupted by Manji raising his hand.
Wanci's tone remained gentle, without the slightest blame: "It's nothing, don't worry about it."
Seeing this, Kaguya stepped forward and took Hikari's hand again, saying, "Alright, Hikari, I'll take you back to the courtyard on Mount Changsheng to change into some clean and comfortable clothes, and then take a good bath."
After saying that, Kaguya took Hikari's hand, who was still somewhat uneasy, and turned to slowly walk into the courtyard of the Eternal Peak behind her.
Wanci watched the direction the two had left in silence, his eyes calm and unwavering.
