Fortunately, the enemy probably didn't have many spare Sharingan left.

After all, because of my appearance, the Uchiha Massacre never happened.

Obito simply has no more access to other Sharingan.

The three-tomoe Sharingan he's using now is likely just a leftover from Madara.

Suddenly, an interesting thought crossed Uchiha Hikaru's mind.

If nothing goes wrong, Madara's body is still buried in the cave beneath Kannabi Bridge...

Why not find a chance to… hehe (^▽^)!

Just as Uchiha Hikaru was still daydreaming about how to mess with Uchiha Madara in the future—

He suddenly heard a flurry of rapid footsteps behind him.

Turning back, he saw hundreds of female Konoha ninjas charging toward him!

Uchiha Hikaru's scalp tingled.

"Y-You…"

"What are you all doing?!"

"Wait!!!"

"Aaahhh! No! Stop!!!"

In the next instant, the crowd of kunoichi engulfed him completely.

"Baji~!"

"Baji~!"

In a storm of squeals and smooches, Hikaru lost track of up and down.

Then, the crowd hoisted him into the air and tossed him up like a hero.

"Move over! Let me touch him just once!"

"I kissed Master Hikaru! Hehehe (^▽^)!"

Up and down, again and again, dozens of times.

Until finally, Hikaru couldn't take it anymore.

"ENOUGH!!! GET OFF ME!!!"

The pressure around him instantly dispersed.

The kunoichi realized they might have gone too far, and obediently stepped back.

Uchiha Hikaru did a 1080° spiral midair, then landed steadily on his feet.

A throbbing vein pulsed on his forehead.

Looking at the gathered kunoichi—each one looking sheepishly down, trying to act innocent—he didn't even know where to begin.

At that moment, Maruboshi Kosuke and Nara Yuito appeared beside him.

Kosuke took one look at the seven or eight lipstick marks on Hikaru's face and gave a knowing smile.

Yuito covered his face in embarrassment and began scolding the kunoichi harshly.

"This is your commanding officer!"

"How could you act like this?!"

"You've completely broken rank and decorum!!!"

Only Nara Yuito remained calm, standing beside Uchiha Hikaru with a serious expression and muttering,

"Assistant Commander… should we continue the war?"

"The village has lost a lot of shinobi. Just look at Kirigakure."

"We can't just let this go."

Uchiha Hikaru simply wiped the lipstick marks off his face.

Then he locked eyes with Yuito and smiled faintly.

"This is all Kirigakure's fault. There's no way we can appease the anger of the people without at least 10 or 8 billion ryo in compensation."

With that, Uchiha Hikaru stepped in front of the troops and once again drew the sword from his back.

The specially crafted military pills, combined with Hashirama's regenerative cells in his body, quickly replenished a portion of his chakra.

Though he could no longer maintain his full Susanoo, even a partial frame would be enough.

He also subtly activated the chakra-based suggestion technique embedded in his Mangekyō—the "Word Spirit" technique.

It didn't consume much chakra. Just a bit of pupil power and emotional amplification was all he needed.

"The war may be won…"

"But our debts with Kirigakure haven't been settled yet!"

"Our 2,000 fallen comrades… our Third Hokage… cannot die in vain!"

"Blades in hand! Follow me! March on Kirigakure! Demand justice!!"

With those words, any trace of celebration instantly vanished.

The joy of victory was drowned by righteous fury.

The Konoha shinobi raised their swords and kunai in response.

"Blades in hand!"

"Follow him!"

"Strike Kirigakure!"

"Seek justice!!!"

Uchiha Hikaru turned around, his sword resting across his shoulders, and charged toward the coastline.

"For justice—charge!!!"

The Konoha ninjas followed close behind, hearts blazing with righteous fury.

"Damn it! Kill them! All those Kirigakure bastards should die!"

"For justice! For the fallen! Give me your hearts!!!"

"For Master Hikaru! ATTACK!!!"

Nearly four thousand Konoha shinobi stormed forward, blades gleaming.

Meanwhile, the Kirigakure forces along the coast were in utter disarray, scrambling to board ships.

"Where's the helmsman?! Is he dead?!"

"Where's the captain of this vessel?!"

"Where the hell is everyone?!"

There were hundreds of ships docked along the shore.

But only a dozen had managed to set sail.

The rest were still stuck—missing critical personnel.

Terumi Mei, flustered and frantic, tried to coordinate the evacuation.

Sweat dripped from her brow as her mind raced toward collapse. She couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"Damn this Blood Mist policy… turned our shinobi into nothing but killing machines!"

"If we don't move faster, Konoha's troops will—"

"Lady Terumi Mei! Something terrible has happened!"

Ao burst out from the forest, his face full of panic.

Mei was already at her limit emotionally, but tried to maintain her composure.

"Could it be… Konoha's attacking already?"

"Why are you so flustered, Ao?"

Her tone was calm, but the corners of her lips twitched.

Hold it together, Mei. You're going to be Mizukage someday. You must hold your poise!

"Yes!"

"I stayed two miles back to scout the battlefield…"

"I saw a giant wooden humanoid attempt to attack Konoha's forces."

"But then a giant in samurai-like armor appeared and crushed it!"

"I think… he's one of Konoha's top leaders!"

"And now… he's coming straight for us!"

Suddenly, both Ao and Mei felt their bodies freeze.

A wave of killing intent slammed into them like a wall of stone.

"Yo~"

"What's this? Talking about me behind my back?"

"Didn't expect me to show up, did you?"

A dark figure stepped out of the woods.

Stern face. Tall frame. Navy-blue combat uniform hugging a broad chest.

A white bandage wrapped neatly around his waist. His physique was lean, powerful, perfect.

Long black hair whipped in the ocean breeze.

To Mei Terumi, Uchiha Hikaru looked like a blue rose blooming amid bloodshed—deadly, beautiful, and impossible to ignore.

"Why… why are you so handsome…"

The words slipped out of Mei's mouth before she could stop herself.

All three present fell into a stunned silence.

Ao: [○?｀Д′? ○] Lady Terumi Mei! That's the enemy commander!

Hikaru: Oho~ Why, thank you.

Mei Terumi: o(////▽////)q!! Wait—what did I just say?!

Their inner thoughts were pure chaos.

But Hikaru didn't forget his objective.

He opened his mouth to speak—

"I surrender on behalf of Kirigakure!"

Mei suddenly blurted, leaving both Ao and Hikaru dumbfounded.

Both were forced into stunned silence once again.
