Simply put, Kami had never been able to gauge Uchiha Hikaru's temperament. Son Goku had said long ago that he couldn't be viewed with ordinary standards; his mind held ideas utterly detached from this world.
Now, Kami finally understood what that meant. He didn't just grow stronger to survive—he even grew stronger out of sheer spite.
