Early next morning. Konoha, Tobirama Residence guest room.
The sun shines through the gaps in the curtains and onto the soft bed playfully.
Uchiha Hikari The eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
What you see is no longer a dark and damp cave, nor are you seeing cold iron chains and sealing runes.
Instead, there are white ceilings, exquisite crystal chandeliers, and the faint scent of lavender lingering on the tip of the nose.
"This is..."
Guang sat up abruptly, his brain briefly shutting down.
The next second, the memory of being forcibly broken and knocked unconscious by that man yesterday came flooding back.
"Uchiha Clan...Tobirama!"
Her hair suddenly exploded, and her body instinctively shrank toward the corner of the bed, with her hands protecting her chest. Her pair of Mangekyō Sharingans that had just regained their luster were staring at the corner of the room.
There, Tobirama Uchiha was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of tea in his hand and reading the newspaper lazily.
The morning light shone on his short silver hair, giving him a golden edge.
Not only does he not seem to have any murderous intent, but he has a reassuring aristocratic temperament.
"Are you awake?"
Tobirama put down the newspaper and glanced at her.
"My sleeping posture is quite bad. I kicked the quilt off to the floor."
"You... what do you want to do?"
Guang's voice was dry and tense. "Where is this place? Why don't you lock me up? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
In her centuries-old knowledge, it is abnormal for a weapon not to be locked up.
"Kill me?"
Tobirama chuckled lightly, as if he heard some funny joke.
"In your current state? You can't even tickle me."
"Stop being delusional. I said, I'm here to save you, not to abuse children."
He pointed to the hot breakfast and a brand new set of clothes on the table.
"Go wash up, eat, and change clothes."
"Come out with me after you finish eating."
"Go... out?" Guang was stunned, "Where?"
"Go and see the world outside your prison."
Tobirama stood up, straightened his collar, and spoke in an unquestionable tone:
"Don't make me wait too long. I don't like women who are lazy."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out, not afraid of the light and escaping.
In other words, in this Konoha, not a fly can fly out without his permission.
Guang stared blankly at the food on the table.
Milk, sandwiches, fried eggs.
Steaming hot and fragrant.
My stomach growled dissatisfiedly.
"Is this... a normal life?"
She hesitated for a long time, and finally picked up the sandwich.
If you can't fight or run away, then... eat enough first!
Half an hour later. Konoha Busty commercial street.
Uchiha Hikari put on a white dress, which Tobirama specially ordered Pakura to prepare. It perfectly set off her charming yet unique temperament with a hint of coldness.
However, she was now like a frightened little rabbit, following closely half a step behind Tobirama, her big eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
She is looking for enemies.
In her memory, whenever she goes out, it's a battlefield and a fight.
However.
"Lord Tobirama Good morning!"
"Lord Hokage! These are freshly baked buns, please try them!"
"Lord Tobirama, thank you for abolishing Daimyo System! Life is so good now!"
Along the way, whether it was the uncle setting up a stall, the patrolling ninjas, or even the children playing on the roadside.
When everyone sees Tobirama, their faces are filled with sincere admiration and smiles.
That kind of look is a sign of respect and love for the patron saint.
"Hokage... Sir?"
Guang was a little confused.
She looked at the Uchiha Clan people wearing Gunbai clan emblem clothes, drinking and chatting with other descendants of the ninja clan.
There is no barrier, no hatred.
Even the civilians dared to smile and say hello to the Anbu members of the Uchiha Clan tribe.
"How... how is this possible..."
Guang murmured to himself, his worldview was greatly impacted.
"Uchiha Clan... Shouldn't it be a cursed clan? Shouldn't it be excluded and used by everyone?"
"Why... are they laughing so hard?"
"Did you see that?"
Tobirama stopped, took a bunch of three-color meatballs from a roadside vendor, and handed them to Guang.
"This is the world I created."
"Here, Uchiha Clan is not a weapon, it is the person holding the sword, and he is also Guardians."
"No one dares to take advantage of us, and no one dares to look at us like that."
Guang took the meatball and stared blankly at Tobirama's back.
At this moment, the man's body became extremely tall in her eyes.
He didn't lie to her.
Those Hell-like pasts have really come to an end.
"Eat."
Tobirama looked at her dazed look and reached out to rub her head.
"It's quite sweet, you might like it."
Just took a bite of the meatball.
Soft, waxy and sweet.
The sweetness spread along the tip of her tongue and into her heart, making her eyes sore inexplicably.
Is this what... freedom tastes like?
As the two of them wandered around, Guang's tense nerves finally relaxed.
She began to look at everything around her curiously.
Movie theater posters, dazzling jewelry stores, ninja toys in the hands of children...
All this is new to her.
She even stopped at a mask stall, picked up a fox mask and put it on her face.
"Does it look good?"
She asked subconsciously, and then she realized that she was talking to Devil, and her face turned red again.
"It's okay."
Tobirama paid the money and said calmly:
"But your face is prettier than a mask, so there's no need to cover it."
Guang's heart skipped a beat.
Is this guy... always so straight-talking?
Dusk. Above Hokage Rock.
The setting sun dyed the entire Konoha golden red.
Tobirama, with light, stood on top of the statue of Hokage, overlooking the entire village.
Smoke is curling up from the cooking pots, and the lights of thousands of houses are starting to come on.
There is peace and tranquility.
The evening breeze blew her long silver-black hair, and she looked at the scenery below, her eyes becoming soft and blurred.
"That's great..."
Guang sighed softly, with a tremor in his voice.
"There is no smell of blood, no screams, everyone can live with a smile..."
"I used to... never dare to imagine such a scene in my dreams."
She turned around and looked at Tobirama beside her. The last trace of vigilance in her eyes completely disappeared, replaced by deep guilt and gratitude.
She bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry."
"Yesterday... I attacked you."
"I thought you, like those people, also wanted to use me..."
"I was wrong. You... are a good person."
"Good guy?"
Tobirama raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he was given a good guy card.
He leaned on the railing and looked at the girl in front of him who finally let go of her guard.
"I'm not a good person."
"I have killed more people than you have ever seen."
"However, I am indeed not the kind of scumbag who would bully little girls."
Tobirama stretched out his hand and looked into her eyes:
"Let's get acquainted again."
"My name is Tobirama Uchiha. What about you? What's your name?"
Guang was stunned for a moment.
His eyes instantly dimmed.
She lowered her head, twisted her clothes with her hands, and spoke in a voice as low as a mosquito:
"I... don't have a name."
"My tribe used to call me Yachihoko, or weapon."
"Some people also call me 'nameless'..."
A person who doesn't even deserve a name.
This was her miserable first half of life.
"Nameless..."
Tobirama frowned.
"It sounds awful."
"Since you are following me, you must have a decent name."
He took a step forward and approached the girl.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, making him look like he was bathed in holy light.
He stretched out his hand, gently lifted the girl's delicate chin, and asked her to look directly into his eyes.
"From today on, forget the codename Wuming."
"Your name is Uchiha Hikari."
"Light?"
The girl's eyes widened, and the figure of Tobirama was reflected in her pupils.
"That's right."
Tobirama The corner of his mouth raised a gentle arc:
"You have been living in darkness and being used as a tool."
"But from now on, you are free."
"I hope you can be like this sunset, like this Konoha light."
"Live in the light, and... become the most dazzling light of my Uchiha Clan."
"Uchiha Clan... Light..."
The girl murmured to herself, chewing the name over and over again.
light.
What a warm word.
She looked at the man in front of her who was domineering yet gave her new life.
The heart beat violently uncontrollably.
Boom! Boom!
That is the sound called heartbeat.
Hundreds of years of ice, at this moment, completely melted.
"Yeah!"
Guang nodded heavily, a crystal tear slipped from the corner of his eye, but a smile brighter than the sunset bloomed on his face.
"My name is Uchiha Hikari!"
"It's... it's the light of Lord Tobirama!"
Tobirama looked at that beautiful smiling face and smiled with satisfaction.
Strategy progress: 100%.
This little wild cat from Sengoku finally turned into a clingy domestic cat.
"Let's go, light."
Tobirama naturally held her hand.
"Go home."
"Let Pakura cook you a good meal tonight to celebrate your new life."
Guang looked at the two people holding hands together, his cheeks were slightly red, but he didn't break away.
Instead, he held the big hand tightly with his backhand.
It was a warmth that she never wanted to let go of in her life.
"Okay... go home."
