Hearing him, Uchiha Hikaru smiled slightly and continued:
"Actually, I hadn't intended to kill that man. He was a wealthy widower from our village whose first wife had died many years ago."
"But I never expected that guy, who lived comfortably and squandered his inheritance, to set his sights on my Miss Kobayashi."
"Even then, I'd initially planned to let him off. But his words grew more and more excessive, and he even directly insulted Miss Kobayashi. If I endured that, could I still call myself a man?"
"So I went all the way. When he sent his bodyguards to kill me, I used the Dojutsu from my ninjutsu to directly control their minds."
"Then I controlled those bodyguards and had them hack him to death. But I never imagined that someone like him would earn your favor, Master Roshi. If I'd known you were connected to him, then even if I had several more lives, I wouldn't have dared kill him."
Hearing this, Master Roshi, who had still been engrossed in the story, immediately became displeased when Uchiha Hikaru shifted the topic onto him. He smiled and said:
"When did I ever say I had anything to do with any of them? I don't even know his surname or given name. Even if I did know him, why would I, a Grandmaster, give my disciple's best brother a hard time over trash like him?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru knew he had guessed wrong again. He frowned and asked Master Roshi with a puzzled expression:
"Then, Master Roshi, I truly can't understand it. What exactly did I do that upset you? Just give it to me straight so I can understand."
"Otherwise, even if I wanted to make amends, I wouldn't know where to begin."
Hearing this, Bull Demon King
