The identity of Uchiha Hikari is arguably one of the more widely known fan-created identities in the Hokage fandom.
Uchiha Hikari, codenamed Uchiha Nanashi, possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan ability of Yachihoko, which allows her to leave marks on people. Those marked can have their Chakra extracted, and their mental energy can even be controlled by her.
Furthermore, it can transfer extracted Chakra to other people. Most importantly, it can also transplant other Dōjutsu; other abilities can be grafted into this Mangekyō Sharingan.
This allows Uchiha Hikari's Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan to possess multiple abilities simultaneously, and amplifies any additional grafted abilities.
In the original storyline, after Uchiha Hikari's abilities were discovered, the Uchiha unhesitatingly used them as weapons and stripped them of their names.
The Uchiha Clan changed Uchiha Hikari's name to Uchiha Nanashi, then grafted Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu onto him, choosing him as a weapon to fight against the Senju Clan.
Since he was used as a weapon, it's no wonder that Uchiha Hikari's personal status wasn't very good; in fact, one could say he had no dignity or standing whatsoever.
During the years she was used as a weapon, Uchiha Hikari only ate ordinary food to sustain her life. As a weapon of the Uchiha, Uchiha Hikari was not allowed to have emotions.
Uchiha Hikari lived in an environment devoid of emotion and friends, where he was merely a weapon and a tool, until he was sealed away.
Of course, this seal is quite powerful, managing to seal Uchiha Hikari from the Warring States period to the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations era, a time span that even reached hundreds or thousands of years.
Uchiha Takashi really wanted to know what this seal was. He desperately wanted to know what kind of seal could completely seal away age and time.
Uchiha Hikari did not age with time; instead, he remained unchanged, even in age and mindset. This indicates that during those days of being sealed, Uchiha Hikari was unaware of his own consciousness.
Uchiha Takashi: There is no such Sealing Jutsu!
Uzumaki Clan, Senju Clan: You're just scared!
Uchiha Takashi: Are you kidding me? Who isn't afraid of this?
Feeling the shocked look in Uchiha Takashi, Uchiha Hikari shrank back and asked somewhat timidly, "Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing Uchiha Hikari's question, Uchiha Takashi snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and said, "There's nothing wrong, it's just that your life seems to have some problems."
Could you tell me... about your daily eating habits?
Uchiha Takashi's expression was clearly smiling, but the Uchiha clansmen beside him felt a chill run through their bodies, a coldness shooting straight from their heels to the top of their heads.
The clan leader is terrifying; I feel like the temperature around me has dropped significantly.
Uchiha Takashi was furious, extremely furious. You see, when he was the Third Elder, he was never stingy with funding for orphanages.
Because his beliefs align with those of Ryō Uchiha, both believing that a clan must prioritize the upbringing of its descendants in order to ensure its continued existence.
The primary goal is to ensure the survival of future generations and to provide care for orphans who lost their parents on the battlefield, so that the Uchiha clan members who died on the battlefield will not have to bleed and weep again!
However, Uchiha Hikari's expression was like a slap in the face to Uchiha Takashi, as if telling him that everything he had done was in vain, and that there were still orphans living miserable lives!
How could Uchiha Takashi not be furious?
However, despite his anger, Uchiha Takashi controlled his emotions so as not to affect Uchiha Hikari.
Uchiha Hikari thought for a moment, then said, "... If it's two meals a day, then... just some rice and some vegetables each time..."
Uchiha Takashi then asked, "Do you eat enough? Are there times when you're so tired from work that you don't have enough to eat and need a snack, but others don't allow you to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikari lowered his head, his lower lip pressed tightly together. "Um—I don't know."
Seeing Uchiha Hikari's state, Uchiha Takashi took a deep breath, then slowly squatted down and said softly, "It's alright, don't be afraid, speak up boldly, I will stand up for you!"
Uchiha Hikari lowered his head even further, keeping his mouth tightly shut, not daring to utter a sound.
Seeing Uchiha Takashi Uchiha Hikari's expression, what else could Uchiha Ten not understand? He immediately stood up, tilted his head, opened his eyes wide, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth, but his tone was extremely cold.
"It seems there are some scumbags in the family that need to be cleaned out... How dare someone do such a thing right under my nose?"
The Uchiha clansmen who had followed along swallowed hard. Generally, when the clan leader showed this expression, it meant his anger had reached its peak. In this situation, it was crucial not to speak or provoke him.
Uchiha Hikari looked at the two people in front of him, glanced at the sun outside, and then said to them, "You two should hurry up and go; I have to go to work."
Uchiha Takashi calmly walked into the room, sat down cross-legged, and then placed his hands on the table, patting it as he spoke.
"It's alright, I'll sit here for a while. Guang, you don't need to work today, as I said. Come here and sit with me for a bit, I have some questions for you."
Uchiha Hikari hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at another Uchiha clansman. That Uchiha covered his face, chuckled helplessly, and said, "Someone's going to die."
Uchiha Hikari was somewhat puzzled, not understanding what this Uchiha clansman meant by saying these words.
The Uchiha clan member then spoke up, saying, "This is our Uchiha Clan's youngest clan leader, Uchiha Takashi. His words carry absolute weight within the Uchiha Clan; if he says everything is fine, then everything is fine."
Uchiha Hikari then turned her head sharply, looking at Uchiha Takashi in shock. She had thought that Uchiha Takashi's status was noble, but she hadn't expected it to be this noble!
Uchiha Takashi, his face grim, said, "Today I'll see which clan's scoundrel is threatening our clan here!"
At this moment, Uchiha Takashi also recalled the descriptions of Uchiha Hikari from the original storyline. After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Hikari's abilities were noticed by the elders, and he was imprisoned, turned into a weapon, and renamed "Uchiha Nanashi).
That marked the beginning of Uchiha Hikari's tragic fate. However, Uchiha Takashi couldn't understand why such a thing would happen to Uchiha Hikari, given that he was from this generation.
The faces of Uchiha Takashi, Tatsu Uchiha, and Kyō Uchiha Dai Uchiha flashed through Uchiha Ten's mind.
In his memory, these three elders seemed unlikely to have done such a thing. Before his reforms, these three elders should have been Uchiha Hikari's elders at the time.
But according to Uchiha Takashi's understanding, these three elders shouldn't have done that, after all, Uchiha Takashi had only awakened his Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan at the age of ten.
Without a word, Kyō Uchiha chose to let Uchiha Takashi take over the position of elder. If the storyline of Uchiha Hikari had followed, shouldn't Uchiha Takashi have been imprisoned and turned into a weapon?
