The appearance of the person in the coffin was beyond the imagination of everyone except Naruto.
They had all imagined what someone known as the Uchiha Clan's War Weapon and Old Ancestor might be like.
Perhaps a strong, imposing big man, or perhaps a highly respected elder.
Or perhaps some grotesque monster like Hidan from the Wave Country.
Never had they imagined that it would be a young girl.
And by the look of her, she was not very old at all...
In the middle of the coffin lay a teenage girl. Her head rested on a snow-white pillow, her eyes were closed, and her hands were folded over her abdomen. She looked peaceful and still.
She had the Uchiha Clan's distinctive long hair, styled much like Madara Uchiha's, though her face was even more delicate. Her features were refined, her skin pale, and she gave off the impression of a frail, sickly girl.
The blue high-collared clan attire of the Uchiha Clan she wore was somewhat worn, with the Uchiha fan crest printed upon it. Her bare feet were still spotless and clean.
Sunlight fell across her cheeks, giving her the unique air of an Uchiha girl in the prime of youth. Yet compared to an ordinary person, she carried an added trace of sickliness.
Although the girl appeared rather weak overall, there was still the heroic spirit of an Uchiha between her brows. Uchiha Hikari.
"I never expected the Uchiha Clan's War Weapon to be a little girl..."
Uchiha Shisui looked utterly bewildered, but his words indeed expressed the thoughts of everyone present other than Naruto.
Uchiha Shisui was thankful that he had come alone this time. If the other Uchiha had come along and seen the girl in the coffin, how heartbroken would they have been?
