This matter required careful handling, so Uchiha Hikaru felt there was no need to rush. He could take it slowly, one step at a time, and only time would reveal which warrior was truly the one he needed.
Uchiha Hikaru planned to discuss it with the owner and arrange to inspect the place in advance. Although it was a very lavish venue and not particularly suitable for competitions, he felt it was still better than the alternatives and looked more legitimate.
What mattered was that if he could not reach an agreement for this place, there would be no more suitable venue in this area.
So he had to reserve this place for now. Holding the competition elsewhere would not be a problem, but he did not have any better candidates. After all, this place was rumored to be a gathering ground for samurai.
That was why Uchiha Hikaru thought that beginning his recruitment here would produce excellent results. Otherwise, he would never have taken the risk of doing something like this.
He knew perfectly well that he absolutely could not expose his identity while searching for the Dragon Balls. If he made too big a spectacle of it, his identity could easily be revealed.
This was a very risky matter for Uchiha Hikaru, but he believed life should involve taking risks like these from time to time. Only then could life become meaningful.
During this process, Uchiha Hikaru also knew that if he handled everything himself, he would definitely be too busy to manage it all. So he planned to find a small assistant to help him complete the task.
Uchiha Hikaru did not have high requirements for the assistant's martial arts or education. He only wanted someone with enough literacy to help him copy and write things down.
