Who Says the Last to Appear Must Be the Finale

"Shh!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Uchiha Hikari glanced sideways and saw that Uchiha Gin, whom she had just grabbed in Susanoo's giant hand, had somehow appeared behind her.

"Xiao Guang, please, keep it down. Don't let the little brothers hear."

He bent forward, tilted his head close to Uchiha Hikari's ear, and pleaded in a somewhat helpless voice.

It was only Year 33 of Konoha. There were still nearly thirty years before the plot began, and Uchiha Gin had no intention of exposing the identity he had hidden for so many years this early. That would take away far too much fun.

"I didn't expect you to be into such wild games."

Uchiha Hikari glanced at the "Uchiha Gin" in Susanoo's hand as it dissolved into particles of light, the corner of her mouth twitching faintly.

"I can keep your secret, but I want you to—"

"You're taking advantage of me!"

Feeling a wolfish gaze upon him, Uchiha Gin could not help tensing up below the waist. Uchiha Hikari gave a teasing smile, her fair fingers lightly tapping the heavy armor on his chest. Her tone was full of menace.

"Oh? Sir Knight, you wouldn't want your identity as a human host to be known by the little brothers, would you?"

"Deal. As long as you don't tell Older Cousin and the others, I'll... let you do whatever you want with me."

Uchiha Gin's eyes were filled with unwillingness and despair, as though his heart had already died.

"Big brother, boss lady is fighting E total!"

The sight of Uchiha Hikari's Susanoo holding Lao Yin happened to fall into Uchiha Izuna's eyes when he turned around to look. Startled, he immediately called out to Uchiha Madara ahead to come watch the show.

"Huh? Where? Aren't they standing together just fine?"
