Off the coast of Uzushio Village, more than 20 kilometers away, in the sea area near Land of Waves, a small fishing boat was bouncing along with the waves like a flat boat.
The old fisherman on the boat threw his fishing net into the sea, then sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, took out a pipe, and waited quietly.
Wait for the passing fish to hit the net and find it difficult to break free. When the time is up, collect the fishing net and repeat this cycle several times. If you are lucky, you can catch some precious fish species and sell them at a good price in the fish market, adding some oil to your tight life.
But most of the time, they are just ordinary fish, which may not even be enough to feed a family.
It can be said that it is entirely about watching God and the sea eating.
There are very few people coming to the sea area where he is located. It is said that the small island in the distance was once a ninja country, but was later destroyed for unknown reasons and became a pirate stronghold.
Even old fishermen only dare to fish on the edge and don't dare to go too deep.
He took out some low-quality cut tobacco and stuffed it into his pipe, lit it, and started puffing away at the smoke.
Suddenly, a gust of sea breeze blew and his straw hat flew off.
"It's strange, it doesn't look like it's going to change today." The little old man looked at the distance between the sea and the sky, but he didn't see the prelude of the coming storm. The sky was sunny, the waves on the sea were calm, and there was a group of seagulls flying in the distance.
But suddenly, when the little old man saw the group of seagulls, he seemed to have seen some terrifying scene. He panicked and fled in all directions.
The little old man noticed something was wrong, stood up from the boat, and looked around.
The next moment!
The fight between two huge creatures on a small island in the distance appeared in front of them. The little old man who had never seen Land of Waves in his life was so shocked that he dropped the pipe in his hand.
Wow--
A turbulent wave came from the direction where the two monsters were fighting. The little old man desperately grabbed the side of the boat with one hand and put away the fishing net with his other hand.
Even though the fishing boat might be capsized at any time in the waves, he did not dare to let go.
After going through a lot of dangers and finally returning to Land of Waves, the little old man seemed to be crazy and completely lost his mind. He told everyone he saw a battle between gods and fox monsters!
Some good-hearted people smiled and asked him about the specific details and location, but the little old man looked flustered and claimed that he did not dare to disclose it for fear of being blamed by the gods.
It made passersby laugh.
The island where Uzushio Village is located.
After a battle, the entire island was shattered and shattered.
Most of the forest on the island was destroyed, and several deep pits on the ground were terrifying and ferocious.
The former Uzushio Village ruins were also completely destroyed in this battle.
On the beach that was dyed dim by the setting sun, Uchiha Hikari hugged his legs and sat under a big tree that had not yet been blown down, staring at the setting sun sinking into the sea level in a daze.
Beside her, Menma was lying on the beach in a big shape, stretching his limbs and letting the dusk cover his body.
Uchiha Hikari pushed aside his long hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and the outline of a young man was reflected in a pair of black pupils. His face was very curious. "You have far more power than me. It is enough to destroy the entire Shinobi World. Why do you still need my power?"
This battle lasted all day long, and the body joints that had been sealed for hundreds of years were stretched, and the frustration and dark negative emotions that had been sealed for hundreds of years were also vented.
The whole person felt extremely comfortable.
"This power is far from being able to overwhelm Shinobi World." Menma put his hands behind his head. He knew very well how strong this Shinobi World was.
His ability is superior to Raikage AB Duo, but Nagato with Akatsuki, Obito with Kamui, and Uchiha Madara with a backhand, all pose threats to him.
In a few years, after Itachi Uchiha opens Mangekyo and the clan is massacred, you will also need to be careful in dealing with it.
Not to mention--
"Shinobi World is not the only enemy of mine." Menma looked up at the bright moon that had appeared on the horizon. "They come from above the dome."
"Besides, why destroy Shinobi World?" Menma turned his head and looked at the girl beside him. The unique fragrance of young girls on the tip of his nose made his heart itch.
This time, it was Uchiha Hikari's turn to show doubts. "Don't you want to destroy Shinobi World?"
For Uchiha Hikari, who has not received formal education and was trained as a war weapon at a young age, power must be used for destruction! Use for destruction!
Menma sat up from the beach and said seriously to Uchiha Hikari: "What I want to destroy are more than twenty countries including Five Great Nations, and their ninja villages."
"My goal is to build a brand new country where ninjas and ordinary people live together without class or discrimination! Then destroy more than 20 countries including Five Great Nations and unify Shinobi World!"
"After there are no other countries, there will be no wars between humans. The power of ninjas will no longer be limited to killing, but will be used for construction and development; people can live and work in peace and contentment, and children can receive better education and grow up safely and happily. They will not be sent to the battlefield as a killing tool at a young age like Warring States Period is like now."
"For the ninjas and nobles of this era, I am indeed destroying their world, but I will create a new era!"
"An era where everyone can walk under the sun and there are no wars or man-made disasters!"
"To build such a new era, my strength alone is far from enough, so I am looking for people who agree with my ideas and recruit some subordinates who are willing to follow me."
"So, I need you!" Menma stood up from the beach and stretched out his hand to Uchiha Hikari.
"Let's get to know each other again, my name is Uzumaki Menma." The setting sun gilded the outline of Menma.
Uchiha Hikari looked up at the young man standing in front of him and this hand, but his cheeks turned slightly red.
"Need me..." She has never felt such a sense of being needed and valued.
Moreover, the feeling Menma brings to her is different from those Uchiha tribesmen who are afraid of her power and take advantage of her power.
He really regards himself as a companion and friend, values his own feelings, and is willing to accompany him to watch the dusk in a daze under the sunset.
Thinking of the tribesmen who imprisoned themselves and used them as war weapons, Uchiha Hikari lowered his head slightly and said in a low mood, "I... don't have a name, the tribesmen call me Wuming..."
"You have a name!" Menma's gentle but firm words made Uchiha Hikari startled, and then he raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.
"I know, your name is Uchiha Hikari!" Menma whispered the almost forgotten name.
"Light..." Uchiha Hikari's deepest memory was awakened, and the vague faces of her parents also appeared in her mind.
The message her parents gave her when they named her also traveled through hundreds of years and echoed in her ears.
"I hope she can walk out of the darkness and into the light..."
"Why... why do you know..." Recalling the appearance of his parents, Uchiha Hikari burst into tears.
"Shinobi World For me, there is no secret." Menma's hand was still placed in front of the crying girl.
Uchiha Hikari wiped away her tears, stretched out her hands tremblingly, and tightly grasped Menma's hand.
Then he was pulled up firmly by Menma.
"Hello, my name is Uchiha Hikari!" Uchiha Hikari stood in front of Menma, smiling broadly, with tears still hanging on his eyelashes.
The sea breeze swept up her vow. "Even if you are the enemy of the entire Shinobi World, I will always, always stand by your side!"
