Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Hideki found it somewhat amusing, and he gently shook his head.

"No matter who it is, some traces will be left in history, especially for someone as powerful as you.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find you based on the information about the Senju clan.

Don't worry, I'll put my heart into it, and you don't need to worry so much. Just look at yourself now, and you'll understand."

As he spoke, Hideki deliberately leaned closer, carefully scrutinizing Hikari up and down.

Such actions made Hikari somewhat uncomfortable. Even though Hideki's gaze was relatively clear, she knew some things, which made her shrink back subconsciously.

"Perhaps you should have heard from Yugao that I am very good at analysis, and the accuracy of my analysis is very high."

Hideki didn't know what Hikari was thinking. He recalled Hikari's situation in his memory.

At the same time, he also thought about fabricating information himself if he couldn't find it. He spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Although you say you want to kill everyone, you still have some compassion for those innocent people.

This proves that the kindness in your heart has not been erased. You just hate, hate those Uchiha who cruelly torture, hate why you are the one suffering such hardship.

Hate why no one could lend a helping hand in time, no one was willing to help you. You are just covered by pain and hatred, thus hating this world.

But what about now? I don't seem to see your joy of revenge being fulfilled. Instead, you are starting to sympathize with those innocent people.

Hikari, you are a kind person, but hatred makes you seem too deep."

Hideki's 'poisonous chicken soup' has always been very effective. This can also be regarded as a kind of information gap utilization. After all, he understands other people's past and personality, and the 'chicken soup' is naturally rich when prescribing the right medicine.

If it were someone he wasn't familiar with, he probably wouldn't 'brew chicken soup' so much, but coincidentally, he is relatively familiar with Uchiha Hikari.

Looking at Hikari, who had fallen into silence, Hideki nodded secretly in his heart.

Heaven knows what the Uchiha people did to make a Kaleidoscope Sharingan user forget their past memories.

Hideki sometimes wondered if he should ask Tsunade to see how to use Yin Release to help someone recover their memory.

"If I restore her memory and combine it with the fabricated information, the effect should be very good, right?"

Hideki stroked his chin, but at this moment, Hikari had recovered. She looked at Hideki seriously and then stood up.

"Thank you. I also hope that I am the kind of person you said, but what if I am a heinous guy? What would you do?"

"Naturally, I would keep you by my side and see if I can change you."

Hideki blurted out almost without thinking. He smiled with full confidence.

"I don't want to repeat it. You are my friend. I will help you, and I will try my best to help you."

"Hmph, a friend like Yugao?"

Hikari didn't know if she was in a better mood. She suddenly teased Hideki again.

And this time, a smile appeared on her face, as if the spring breeze melted the frost.

This made Hideki feel a little refreshed. I have to say, the Uchiha people have never lost in terms of appearance.

"You?"

However, Hideki wouldn't admit defeat verbally. He carefully looked at Hikari again before shrugging his shoulders and smiling.

"Don't worry, I like older women."

"Tch."

Hikari rolled her eyes, turned around, and planned to leave here, but just as she took a small step, both she and Hideki were stunned.

This person's actual age is hundreds of years older than Hideki's.

For a moment, the two of them fell silent.

A gentle breeze brushed their faces, and the green leaves in the Senju clan's ancestral residence rustled in the wind.

Several birds stood on nearby branches, inexplicably looking at the strange man and woman in the room, not knowing what was wrong with them.

The warm sun shone brightly, and the blue sky was cloudless.

Hikari walked out of the house and walked forward alone in the garden of the Senju clan's ancestral residence.

She clasped her hands behind her back and walked forward without any purpose. She would look back after walking for a while, pursing her lips, and then continue walking.

"That bastard..."

Recalling the 'poisonous chicken soup' she heard in Hideki's room just now, and then recalling his brazen statement, 'I like older women.'

These messy thoughts lingered in her mind, and Hikari lowered her head and casually kicked a stone on the ground.

The stone flew out and landed on the water, causing ripples, just like her mood.

She is not a love brain. As a ninja whose hands are stained with countless blood, she has her own ideas.

But coincidentally, Hideki helped her get rid of the suffering of being sealed for a hundred years.

Hideki also helped her solve the Uchiha that she hated in her heart.

And Hideki pointed her in a direction for her question of 'why do I exist in this world'.

Although she doesn't know if it's right, at least having a direction is better than being aimless.

Most importantly, Hideki promised her that he would help her find her lost self and made a judgment on her.

She had heard about Hideki's judgment ability, and she had also felt it. After all, she was found by Hideki through analysis and judgment.

"Am I a kind person?"

Hikari couldn't help but murmur, but she also longed for it to be true in her heart. She was willing to believe Hideki's words!

It can be said that a series of 'coincidences', coupled with this series of experiences, made Hideki truly become 'the most special one' for her.

Although Hideki is still sealing her chakra...

"But, to like someone older, what kind of fetish is that?"

With her head lowered, Hikari walked aimlessly forward, pondering this thought.

She really wanted to go back and grab Shūzawa by the neck and ask, 'Are you doing this on purpose?'

But considering that she probably couldn't beat him, and it was unlikely they would ever have a conflict, plus the fact that he seemed to have a special fondness for older women.

Could it be, is it real?

"Ah, Hikari? What are you doing here?"

Just as Hikari was pondering, Yūgao's voice suddenly came from the side.

Hikari snapped out of her thoughts, trying to stop herself from overthinking, and looked up, only to see Yūgao and Shizune walking over from outside.

And without realizing it, she had already walked to the entrance.

"I was thinking about something. Are you done with your work?"

Having spent a long time together, Hikari was already very familiar with Yūgao and Shizune. She casually asked, resuming her expressionless demeanor.

"Yes, we're done."

Yūgao nodded, then couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"You should have Shūzawa take you out. You're not familiar with Konoha, and that Shūzawa is really..."

"Indeed, Shūzawa is sometimes too irresponsible."

Shizune also nodded in agreement. She looked at Hikari, hesitant to speak. Neither of them knew about Hikari's past.

Those were secrets known only to Shūzawa and Tsunade. They were now worried about the Uchiha issue causing Hikari any distress.

After all, out of such a large clan, only the traitor Uchiha Itachi and his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke were alive, and everyone else was dead.

No one could say for sure if Hikari had any relatives or friends among them.

"If you want to go out, would you like me to accompany you?"

Yūgao thought for a moment, then walked to Hikari's side, looking at the girl before her, Yūgao asked in a gentle voice.

"There have been some unpleasant things happening in the village recently. Perhaps you're not in a good mood. I can take you out for a stroll."

"Yes, we can go out for a walk with you."

Shizune also walked over, a smile on her face.

"It's good to relax, and we're very familiar with Konoha. We can take you around to see the sights.

Relax, don't worry about too much. After all, you're one of us."

"I..."

Hikari opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment. She probably understood that Yūgao and Shizune were talking about the Uchiha issue.

However, looking at their concerned expressions, it seemed they had misunderstood something.

But she could really feel their concern clearly.

"Wait, Shūzawa came from an orphanage, could it be..."

Suddenly, Hikari realized something. A child from an orphanage would probably find it hard to refuse the concern of such a gentle older sister.

At that moment, she seemed to understand Shūzawa a little. He probably really liked older women!

"Okay, thank you."

However, despite what she was thinking, Hikari quickly came back to her senses, and a smile appeared on her cool face.

"As long as it doesn't cause you any trouble."

"Don't worry, Lady Tsunade is busy right now, and as long as you don't say anything out of line."

Shizune acted like a big sister, smiling and speaking immediately, while Yūgao also put her arm around Hikari's shoulder.

"It's okay. We'll have Shūzawa come over later. As long as he's there, Teacher Tsunade won't say anything. Let's go out together, just to relax!"

With that, the two people who had just returned home pulled Hikari out again.

And Hikari, feeling the gentleness of the two, couldn't help but look back at Shūzawa's room.

But no one knew what she was really thinking.

"There are really a lot of troublesome things."

Standing by the window, Shūzawa watched Yūgao and Shizune take Hikari away from the Senju ancestral home, seemingly planning to go out for a walk, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Harmony is naturally a good thing, but recalling his words just now, they were a bit too direct.

Of course, for an old hand like Shūzawa, being direct wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but he was still a little too young at the moment.

"But, he's already sixteen. According to the thinking of this world, it's okay to have children at sixteen, it seems I need to step up my game."

Gently nodding, Shūzawa simply stopped thinking about it.

After so many years of talking about raising fish, the fish are now basically mature, and he's almost ready himself, so it's time to 'reel in the net' at the right time.

But before that, he decided to improve himself first.

[Shūzawa Shiwahara]

[Overall Physical Quality: LV12]

[Chakra: LV11]

[Abilities: Wood Release LV8, Flying Thunder God Technique LV7, Taijutsu 7, Yin Release LV7, Scorch Release LV7, Yang Release · Chakra Mode LV8]

[Free Points: 70]

Looking at his panel, especially the increasingly powerful abilities, Shūzawa himself was particularly satisfied.

This mission gave him 64 free points, and with the accumulation of some miscellaneous small tasks, his free points had exceeded 70!

Of course, he was also a little regretful, just one point too many.

After all, he really liked the number 69...

As for adding points, he had already figured it out!

[Yang Release · Chakra Mode has been upgraded to LV9]

[Remaining Free Points: 54]

Yang Release · Chakra Mode provides him with too much combat assistance!

In addition to allowing him to summon even stronger Wood Release abilities beyond his level, it also provides him with 'leading version' combat strength.
