Uchiha Hiko's mission was to obtain the Dragon Balls, then use their help to rule the Twelve Universes. His other task was to slay demons and exorcise monsters in this world, increasing his own power in the process.
"Master, we can't stay on this mountain forever. Isn't it time we went down? We can head over to that Busy Street and see if anything unusual is happening."
Although Uchiha Hiko greatly disliked how the pale-faced scholar knew nothing, especially when it came to martial arts, he was quite pleased and comforted by the man's initiative during their journey ahead.
At the very least, he would not hold him back on the road ahead, and he could even speed up his search for the Dragon Balls.
"I'm very pleased to hear you say that. At least it means you have some initiative when it comes to the adventures ahead. If you knew no martial arts and lacked even this much initiative, I'd find there was truly no reason to keep you."
Uchiha Hiko had been instilling this way of thinking into the pale-faced scholar. He thought that if one day he truly abandoned the scholar here without mercy, it would at least prepare him mentally.
"Of course. I'll definitely perform well by your side. Now, I can only rely on you for my life. I truly don't know what else I should do. If you really abandon me one day, I honestly won't know what I'm supposed to do."
From that nervous, fearful tone, Uchiha Hiko could tell that the pale-faced scholar was genuinely terrified that he would leave him behind. Uchiha Hiko did not dare make any absolute promises either; he could only take things one step at a time.
Life was far too long. It was already difficult enough
