At that,
She understood Genmei had come to her with a serious matter, and the disappointment in her eyes vanished in a flash.
"All right... Who am I supposed to mark?"
Uchiha Genmei had noticed that flicker of disappointment right away.
But he said nothing.
Honestly,
At home, he was often outnumbered two to one.
He really didn't want to take on any unnecessary overtime.
He'd have to recharge first, then see.
He cut off the colorful thoughts swirling in his mind.
Genmei's lips curled into a cruel smile as he said coldly:
"It's that Shimura clan leader who's always had it in for the Uchiha."
Uchiha Hikari stretched and yawned.
"Danzō? Marking a ninja of his caliber will be a piece of cake."
Uchiha Genmei understood the girl's strength, especially after her genes had been completed.
Just how absurdly powerful she was.
"Take this. It'll help you locate that guy."
As he spoke—
He handed the girl a rune from his hand.
"What's this?" The girl tilted her head, confused.
"It's a Tracking Rune I made. Like an Explosive Tag, it has a locating technique inscribed in it."
It was a little trinket he'd made as his research into the Divine Rune grew more advanced.
For a divine being to find someone—or, more precisely, pinpoint someone—
Was incredibly easy. That was the direction he'd been researching.
He'd used chakra to reproduce the secret technique and inscribed it on the rune.
If everything went as he expected,
What would you do, Sarutobi Hiruzen?
After discussing their strategy in the Hokage Building,
Hiruzen's decision to compromise left Shimura Danzō deeply disappointed—and despairing...
Why had they researched the First's power? Why had they carried out such inhumane experiments?
Wasn't it because that Uchiha brat had put them under too much pressure?
