Chapter 393 - Choices for Hikari

Kazuki looked at Madara with a frustrated expression and said, "Neither you nor Izuna had any children. I remember Izuna was almost thirty when he died, right? But he didn't even marry or have children."

"As an elder brother, shouldn't you have thought about finding women for your younger brother so he could have descendants?"

"Even if you're not interested in women, for the sake of the Uchiha clan, shouldn't you have had descendants with excellent bloodlines?"

"You must understand that descendants of Uchiha who have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, are often much more talented than ordinary Uchiha. Even the chance of awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan is much higher."

Madara fell silent, stunned. He hadn't expected Kazuki to say such a thing.

He hadn't considered that he should have found many beautiful women for his younger brother to bear children for Izuna. After he was gone, Izuna's descendants could inherit the position of Uchiha clan head.

However, Madara quickly shook his head slightly and said, "You don't understand the situation back then. At that time, even within the clan territory, it wasn't absolutely safe. From childhood to adulthood, I don't know how many assassination attempts I experienced."

"Even within the clan territory, we suffered several assassination attempts. Even my three younger brothers died in an assassination. In that era, having descendants might not have been a good thing. As long as you don't have them, you won't lose them."

"As long as you haven't obtained it, you won't lose it?" Kazuki didn't know what to say.

Madara's way of thinking was quite peculiar. However, for an Uchiha who was already somewhat eccentric, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.

Madara said, "Uchiha are too focused on emotions. Without experiencing our pain, you cannot understand. And after the village was established, the children's safety was guaranteed, but by then, Izuna was already gone."

Madara gave a bitter laugh, and thinking of Tobirama, his eyes were filled with hatred.

It was all that damned Tobirama. All of this was Tobirama's fault.

Back then, he shouldn't have always focused on Hashirama. Instead, after Izuna died, he should have eliminated Tobirama first. No, to be precise, he should have eliminated Tobirama much earlier. All of this was Tobirama's fault.

"Are you Madara?"

At this moment, Hikari suddenly spoke, looking at Madara with a complex expression.

"Yes, I am Madara."

Seeing Hikari suddenly speak, Madara let out a slight sigh of relief. Kazuki's ability to hit where it hurt was too exceptional.

For some reason, Madara felt that Hikari bore a slight resemblance to himself. Perhaps she might have a bit of a blood relation to him. After all, Uchiha who could awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan all had very close bloodlines.

As for why she became a war weapon, he presumed that her lineage had lost its protection.

"Is that so?" Hikari nodded thoughtfully.

"You and Hashirama established Konoha?"

"Yes." Madara did not deny it.

"I established Konoha, but by then, Konoha no longer met my needs. However, the person in front of you is the current Uchiha clan head and the current Hokage of Konoha."

"Uchiha clan head?" Hikari looked at Kazuki with a complex expression.

To be honest, Hikari's heart was very complicated at this moment. She didn't know how to face Kazuki, nor did she know why he had come to find her.

After a moment of hesitation, she asked Kazuki, "Do you want me to continue being a war weapon for the Uchiha?"

"Do you think I need to do that now?" Kazuki looked at Hikari somewhat speechlessly.

Was he such a cruel person?

Kazuki remembered telling Hikari about his strength before.

"Then why did you dig me out?" Hikari frowned.

She didn't particularly dislike Kazuki now, but she didn't have a lot of goodwill either.

If he wasn't an Uchiha, she would definitely be grateful to him for digging her out.

Kazuki looked at Hikari meaningfully and said, "Since there's an Uchiha outside, as the Uchiha clan head, I naturally had to come and see. Afterwards, I can let you enter the village."

"If you no longer wish to fight, you can actually be given a corresponding identity and live an ordinary life. Given the current situation of the Uchiha, supporting a few people is easy. After all, you were once a meritorious member of the Uchiha. We, the Uchiha clan, cannot treat you too harshly."

"If you wish to continue being a ninja, once you are familiar with current life, I can arrange appropriate work for you. Of course, if you want to follow Madara and become a huge hidden danger to the Ninja World, I will not stop you either."

"The Ninja World can never truly be at peace. The Ninja World needs continuous wars to promote the recovery of the world."

Hikari was somewhat silent. If she could, she very much wanted to destroy this world.

She believed this world had caused her misfortune, but her parents seemed to be very good to her. They named her Hikari, and she felt she shouldn't disappoint them, even if they were no longer alive.

So who caused the misfortune of this world?

Was it the Uchiha? The Senju clan? Or the so-called Sage of Six Paths, or perhaps the Ōtsutsuki?

Hikari did not know any of this.

Moreover, if she were to face those god-like existences, no matter how proud she was, she didn't believe she could definitely defeat them.

That was the Ōtsutsuki.

From Kazuki's records, it was clear that she and her special eyes were not enough to contend with the Ōtsutsuki. At most, they could barely interfere with the Ōtsutsuki.

Even Madara's strength was greater than hers.

The combat power of Hashirama and Madara during their great battle at the Valley of the End might even be greater than hers.

Of course, if she could catch them off guard, neither Hashirama nor Madara would likely be her match.
