"Fri..."
Ōkuninushi had only just begun to speak through Yahiko's body when Uchiha Hikari interrupted him.
"Stop! You only need to tell me where Konoha is."
Seeing Yahiko about to speak, Uchiha Hikari immediately cut off what he was going to say.
What a joke. There was clearly something wrong with all three people in front of her. One had Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan, another had a fallen god inside him carrying that old bastard Indra's ocular power, which even shared the same origin as her dōjutsu.
