Golden Light

"The Hyuga Clan Head is being a bit too radical."

At the central camp of the Royal Court Ninja Army, Uchiha Takeyasu was still absorbing knowledge in the Sea of Magic.

Minako Uzumaki, Uchiha Hikari, and several advisors observed Hyuga Ashidana's arrangements through crystal balls carried by the Uzumaki ninja in the reconnaissance team.

Minako Uzumaki frowned slightly. "The strength of the Great Tomb Nazarick is well-known. The Hyuga Clan Head wanted to gain merit by trying to alert the enemy, test the limits of their barrier's endurance, and lure out their powerful members. This tactic itself wasn't wrong; the mistake was overestimating his own strength."

From the [Catastrophe Dragon Lord] to the three Demon General captured and brought to Konoha, and finally the near annihilation of the Platinum Armor under Karatachi Yagura, the waters of the Mana Continent have always been deep.

Hyuga Ashidana couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

"I even specifically reminded you beforehand."

Minako Uzumaki sighed softly, feeling a bit of a headache Hyuga Ashidana Ashizaburo's eagerness to attack.

"Don't worry, Minako- neechan. The Hyuga Clan Head isn't stupid; he must have his reasons for doing this."

Uchiha Hikari rested his elbow on the table, his chin on the back of his hand, mimicking Uchiha Takeyasu's serious expression, "Recently, the Hyuga Clan the Ninja World and the Hyuga Clan the moon have increased their exchanges."

"Perhaps Hyuga Ashidana obtained something good from the Hyuga Clan on the moon."

Uchiha Hikari spoke, a look of eager anticipation appeared on his face.

"Furthermore, he carries the Flying Thunder God Array, so we can teleport there at any time through the array in the room. Even if a situation arises that the Hyuga Clan Head can't handle, I'll be there to clean up the mess!"

"After all, among Brother An's women, I'm the only one who can move around freely."

Hearing Uchiha Hikari emphasize certain words, Minako Uzumaki smiled gently, "Yes, we'll have to rely on Commander Hikaru from now on."

(That darn philandering cat! I want to strip her naked!)

Uchiha Hikari vowed in his heart that he would repeat the same "punishment" he had given to Momiji Kurenai Miko on Minako Uzumaki.

However, thinking of the Miko Kurenai, Uchiha Hikari couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Kurenai come? With her prophetic abilities, wouldn't she be perfect for this place?"

"If we could foresee the Hyuga Clan Head's death date, we'd have a better plan."

"His Leader is willing, but Kaori and Naori may not."

As soon Minako Uzumaki replied, Uchiha Hikari immediately understood: this was to guard against Uchiha Uchiha's true form causing trouble.

Having figured this out, Uchiha Hikari stopped worrying about the Miko Kurenai and watched with a hint of boredom as the well-organized reconnaissance team continued to attack the Great Tomb of Nazarick's tortoise shell.

Suddenly, the girl's dark eyes transformed into Eternal Mangekyo!

Five dark figures flew out of the barrier in a flash. Even with Hyuga Ashidana's eyesight, he could only see five powerful figures dressed in black ninja clothing and wearing headscarves with the character "ninja" on their faces.

They drew their Katana in mid-air and instantly killed their opponents, even cleaving the eagles beneath them in two, which then vanished as ink.

"Raise your body!"

As soon as Hyuga Ashidana uttered a shout, five non-human ninjas with fluttering headscarves revealing demonic faces waved their arms, sending a shower of shuriken flying like meteors.

Just as the surrounding ninjas were caught off guard, the Hyuga ninja stepped forward.

In order to strengthen the clan's power, the Hyuga Main Family Main Family brought out the Rotation, a secret technique known for its absolute defense, which came in handy at this moment.

Seven or eight blue circular Chakra light screens emitted a clanging sound like metal clashing, followed by the splattering sounds of flesh being pierced.

The renowned Rotation Secret Technique crumbled instantly under the overwhelming power of the demon ninja!

The ninjas nearby fared no better, collapsing one after another from the ink-wash-like eagle. This scene, witnessed by Hyuga Ashidana, filled him with anxiety.

Those who can join the reconnaissance unit are all Jonin, which, in the context of the Mana Continent's ranking system, would make them outstanding figures in the Heroic Domain and pillars of their respective ninja villages.

If a large number of people were to die in battle without any corresponding results, Hyuga Ashidana felt that his ninja career was coming to an end—even though resurrection magic existed in this world and it had been proven that ninjas could be resurrected, the cost of resurrection was almost twice that of the residents of the Mana Continent.

Jonin is resurrected, they will almost certainly be relegated to the Chunin, and the process of recovering their strength will be extremely slow.

"These demon ninjas are not to be underestimated!"

Minako Uzumaki's gaze narrowed slightly, not paying too much attention to the deaths and injuries of the Combat Ninja.

A member of the main clan's Uzumaki ninja, she could offer the large white rabbit on her chest as a sacrifice to Uchiha Takeyasu, allowing him to cast a high-level Resurrection Magic with minimal side effects.

The other ninjas are unlikely to be taken as seriously by Uchiha Takeyasu, and the worst fifth-tier Resurrection Magic is unlikely to be used; it will probably be Seventh Tier Resurrection Magic.

Currently, only Uchiha Takeyasu knows this level of magic.

With the help of Uchiha Takeyasu, Goddess Official Lilinet entered the Heroic Domain, becoming one of only two Magic Chanter in the faction capable of using Resurrection Magic.

"Let me play!"

Uchiha Hikari jumped to his feet, his crimson Sharingan gleaming with excitement.

As time went by, her strength grew stronger and stronger. Until now, Uchiha Hikari had not fought a real battle for a long time, and the girl's delicate body was almost rusty.

"The Hyuga Clan Head hasn't requested reinforcements yet. Let's wait and see."

Minako Uzumaki remained calm and did not immediately agree to Uchiha Hikari's request.

Besides the reasons that were spoken, there were deeper factors—that was the enemy's stronghold. If Uchiha Hikari were to meet with misfortune, how could Uchiha Takeyasu possibly stand idly by!

If the battle descends into chaos, the tragedy prophesied by the Miko Kurenai could easily occur.

Minako Uzumaki didn't dare to think about what would happen if Uchiha Takeyasu fell—after all, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura weren't completely dead yet!

Without Uchiha Takeyasu as a check and balance, let alone conquering the Mana Continent, the entire Ninja World would fall apart.

Uchiha Hikari didn't refute. When it came to serious matters, the girl wouldn't act recklessly according to her own whims. Listening to Minako Uzumaki's opinions was always a good idea.

They were, after all, a family she didn't want to acknowledge.

Suddenly, a golden light shone on the screen.

The two women narrowed their eyes, while a bad feeling welled up in Momonga's mind.

Each ninja monster [Hanzō], with a level of 80 or higher, doesn't have this kind of ability!

"I was hoping to make an even greater contribution at a crucial moment, what a pity."

A faint word of regret drifted through the air, and suddenly a golden light that stretched from heaven to earth shone forth!
