Chapter 220 Uchiha Hikaru's Choice (4000)

When Jiuxing, Xun, Nao, and Senju Tobirama returned to the Dragon Vein Palace, all the participants of the Dragon Vein Project had gathered together.

Thank God, no one on our side was killed.

Uchiha Hikaru was restrained by Hashirama Senju's Wood Release and absorbed the opponent's chakra anytime and anywhere.

At this moment, this girl who lived hundreds of years ago was thrown in front of everyone by Senju Hashirama without any mercy.

Uchiha Hikaru seemed to have already known his own fate and did not utter a word.

Uzumaki Nagato died and his Rinnegan was taken away.

The world she expected and her dream of meeting her parents have been shattered.

Never mind, dreams are just dreams after all.

It's just a dream, reality is so cruel, all your efforts are in vain.

Dad, Mom...

Looking at the silent Uchiha Hikaru in front of him, Jiu Xing drew his hand without hesitation and a golden ninja sword appeared. He was about to step forward to end the other's life, but a hand grabbed his arm.

Xun looked at the girl in front of him who had already accepted the fate of death, and said hesitantly:

"Should we tell her the truth?"

As a person that Jiuxing unconditionally trusts, Jiuxing had already confessed everything to Xun on that night.

"……Can."

Jiu Xing was silent for a while, and agreed for Xun's sake.

The overall situation has been decided at this moment. No matter how powerful Uchiha Guang is, he will never be able to make any waves.

"Uchiha... Hikaru, huh?"

Xun walked forward and squatted in front of Uchiha Guang, looking at the girl in front of him who was determined to die and spoke.

"If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Uchiha Guang looked at the person in front of him calmly.

Golden flash, Namikaze Kaoru.

She once tried to join forces with Uchiha Yuma to ambush and kill him, but failed because of Uzumaki Kyuyuki.

What else does this guy have to say now?
Is it time to give a winner's speech?
Uchiha Guang was dismissive of this. To her, failure was failure. She had tried her best and tried her best, and had never given up.

Even if you fail, the worst that can happen is that you will die, and your soul will go to the Pure Land, the same world where your parents live.

"Do you really know the truth behind Uchiha Madara's Moon Eye Project?"

Xun's words couldn't help but make Uchiha Guang frown.

This matter was top secret among the secrets in Dawn, and only she, Uchiha Yuma, Uzumaki Nagato, and Black Zetsu knew about it.

How did Namikaze Kaoru know?
"In fact, the Moon Eye Project is a complete conspiracy from beginning to end..."

However, Kaoru's words couldn't help but make Uchiha Hikaru's eyes widen.

The complete Moon Eye Plan came out of Xun's mouth, and everyone present was shocked.

Uchiha Madara actually tried to create a world where everyone in the world would fall into a beautiful dream.

How outrageous, how naive!
"The reason why beauty is beautiful is because of the cruel background."

“A beautiful world is certainly worth looking forward to.”

"But if this continues, how will we define beauty?"

"It is precisely because of the cruel reality that everything in life becomes more precious."

Senju Hashirama spoke slowly, his eyes heavy.

He didn't expect his best friend to be so crazy.

“If you want a truly peaceful world, you can’t rely on false dreams. Only by using your own hands to shape the future you want, everything around you will be more worthy of protection and cherishment.”

"Besides, all this is just a plan to revive the so-called Goddess of the Rabbit."

Senju Tobirama continued speaking while Senju Hashirama was talking.

“So every seemingly bright future often hides a fatal trap.”

"There is no such thing as perfect in the world. If it does happen, you should be extremely vigilant."

"The dream of a bubble is often a reality that bursts at the slightest touch."

"Kaoru, you are the future Yondaime Hokage, you should be careful when encountering things like this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke in a deep voice.

Jiu Xing couldn't help feeling helpless as he watched the three Hokage preaching to him one by one.

Uchiha Hikaru sat there in silence, somewhat unable to believe the truth that Kaoru said.

For her, the Moon Eye Project is the driving force behind all her efforts.

Now Xun told her that everything she worked hard for was a scam by others.

This was all a conspiracy designed step by step by the so-called Black Zetsu in order to rescue the Goddess of Rabbit who was sealed on the moon. How could she accept this?

If that's the case, then what was all she working for?
What was all she sacrificed for?
Even for this false yet beautiful future, her hands were stained with the blood of innocent people.

As one of the people who secretly instigated the Third Ninja World War, only Uchiha Hikaru herself knew what she had done.

He even spared no effort, even Nagato Konan's best friend, Yahiko, who had always loved him, died in his hands.

"Fake, all fake..."

Uchiha Hikaru looked at Xun angrily.

She can tolerate failure, death, and even losing everything.

She didn't want to believe that the goal she had been working so hard for was a huge conspiracy from beginning to end!

"You lied to me!"

"If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why did you lie to me?!"

Uchiha Guang's face was distorted and he spoke hysterically.

Xun looked at Uchiha Guang with some pity, wanting to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything.

The faith is shattered, and the things you have been working hard for end up being someone else's wedding dress, and everything you say is in vain.

"Now that things have come to this, why would we lie to you?"

Nao looked coldly at the black-haired girl in front of her, her words calm but sharp.

As the designated successor of Otsutsuki Hamura, she knew clearly what all living beings in the ninja world would face once the Moon Eye Project was completed.

Not just humans, but everything will die.

Billions of lives will have their energy drained by the so-called sacred tree, and the earth will then change from a vibrant planet to a dead star.

"What good would it be for us to lie to you?"

"You are kindhearted, otherwise I would just kill you and make you a fool."

Nao's words made Uchiha Hikaru burst into tears, with big tears streaming down her cheeks.

Dad, Mom...

I did wrong……

I killed so many innocent people...

I am no longer the light you hoped for...

Uchiha Hikaru, who had always aimed to attain the Moon Eye, now felt as if his faith had collapsed. He was at a loss, like a little girl who needed comfort.

Senju Hashirama couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the ignorant girl who was being used. Reality is so cruel. Beautiful dreams are certainly hopeful, but dreams are just dreams after all, and one will have to wake up one day.

Only by truly facing reality can you create a bright future for yourself.

However, at this moment, Uchiha Guang found strength from somewhere and rushed towards Jiu Xing!

Uchiha Hikaru's sudden outburst caught everyone by surprise.

With a "whoosh" sound, the ninja sword in Jiu Xing's hand had already pierced deeply into Uchiha Hikaru's body.

The bright red blood soaked the golden blade, and the warm blood dyed Jiu Xing's palm holding the knife red.

This scene left everyone speechless with shock. Although the collapse of faith can indeed drive people to extremes, witnessing this scene with one's own eyes was indeed shocking enough.

Uchiha Guang leaned weakly on Jiu Xing, gasping for breath.

"Whether what you said is true or false..."

Uchiha Hikaru's mouth was filled with blood foam, tears and blood mixed together, she struggled to hold on to the life that was constantly slipping away and spoke:

"As a member of the Moon Eye, I truly killed..."

"Many innocent people were killed..."

"My...life is not worth dying for..."

"My eyes, please..."

"After I die, the eight thousand spears will be removed..."

"Let me atone for my sins..."

At this point, Uchiha Hikaru knew that there was no need for the other party to deceive him. What good would it be for a dying man to deceive himself?
But she didn't want to believe it, at this time she would rather be a confused ghost.

"please……"

"please……"

"please……"

Uchiha Hikaru's voice became smaller and smaller, and his body couldn't help but slide down. Jiu Xing held Uchiha Hikaru's waist, and the ninja sword in his hand turned into a golden fluorescence and disappeared in front of everyone.

Warm blood splashed all over Jiu Xing's body from the wound. Jiu Xing slowly placed it on the ground. Uchiha Guang's suicide could not help but make him silent.

The reason why the original characters are described in detail by the author is not just because of their importance to the plot.

More importantly, they have a firm will that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and they can abandon everything for their goals.

When you discover your mistakes, you can decisively recognize yourself and atone for them.

At this moment, Jiu Xing seemed to realize that the so-called "plot characters" were different from ordinary people.

Everyone in Naruto seems to have a strong will and a spirit of never backing down.

Even Black Zetsu simply wanted to rescue his mother at all costs.

Jiu Xing was slightly moved by Uchiha Guang's choice of death, but since things had come to this point, Jiu Xing had no intention of saving him.

He originally intended to kill Uchiha Hikaru.

If it is possible to so easily forgive a person who has done something wrong and whose hands are stained with blood, then what about the person she killed.

What's more, this was Uchiha Hikaru's own choice.

"This is her own choice."

Senju Hashirama couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Uchiha Hikaru lying on the ground.

Being taken advantage of and making unforgivable mistakes, even if you are unaware of it, what can you do?

"This Uchiha is not the focus now. The enemies have been completely eliminated. So how do you plan the dragon veins?"

Senju Tobirama was not interested in spending any more time on a dead Uchiha, so he changed the subject.

After hearing Senju Tobirama speak, Senju Hashirama turned his attention to his younger brother.

However, this sight made Hashirama Senju a little dumbfounded.

No, brother, I remember we were resurrected together, right?

How did you secretly acquire such a strong body?

Facing the shocked gaze of Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and said:

"Well, this incident can be considered a blessing in disguise..."

After Senju Tobirama's explanation, Senju Hashirama and the few people who were unaware of the situation finally understood and could not help but sigh at Senju Tobirama's good luck.

He was unexpectedly resurrected because of Uzumaki Nagato's Reincarnation Technique.

"Then what do you do next?"

Senju Hashirama looked at his brother and spoke.

Senju Tobirama listened to his elder brother's words, his eyes fell on the dragon vein that was glowing purple and he said:

"I want to stay."

"Since the younger generation of Konoha has such great ambitions, then as a senior, I should naturally provide them with assistance."

"..."

When Hashirama Senju heard what Tobirama Senju said, his face froze.

He knew that when the wisp of chakra that remained in the ninja world during his lifetime knew about the Dragon Vein Plan, he thought of what attitude Senju Tobirama would have when he knew about this plan.

Sure enough, Senju Tobirama's choice was the same as what he had thought at the beginning.

Faced with such an ambitious plan to create a multiverse Konoha, he had to get involved no matter what.

"We are dead people, no..."

Just as Senju Hashirama was about to speak, he was interrupted by Senju Tobirama:
"Onii-chan, you and the monkey are the only ones who are dead. I am standing here alive."

Hearing Senju Tobirama's ruthless words, Senju Hashirama's face couldn't help but freeze.

His younger brother has escaped the Impure World Reincarnation and has a new life. As the eldest brother, is he really going to kill him and bring him back to the Pure Land?

"In fact, we already have the Rinnegan."

"With further research, it won't be difficult to resurrect Sensei Hashirama and the old man."

Jiu Xing spoke out at this moment, he really wanted to resurrect Hashirama Senju.

Once Hashirama Senju is resurrected, he will be an extremely powerful force.

Even with only 50% of his strength, Senju Hashirama was able to easily defeat Uchiha Yuma and Uchiha Hikaru.

In addition, when he first displayed the Nine-Tails Sage Mode in front of Hashirama Senju, Hashirama Senju said that it could only make him slightly more difficult.

Senju Hashirama is an honest man and he won't exaggerate.

In other words, at this moment, it is impossible to defeat Senju Hashirama except for Kyuuki alone and Nao working together.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat moved by what Jiu Xing said, but before he could say anything, he was sternly rejected by Senju Hashirama.

“The living have their own world, and the dead have their own world.”

"If the world of the living and the dead can be disturbed at will, then where is the boundary between life and death?"

“When the living lose their fear of death, no one can predict what will happen.”

"The best option is to let the laws of nature develop as they are. Breaking the laws will lead to unforeseen disasters."

"Tobirama just counts his luck, but the monkey and I must not be resurrected."

Jiu Xing humbly accepted what Hashirama Senju said, but he had already planned to pull Hashirama Senju out directly if necessary in the future and perform a reincarnation.

At that time, could he still commit suicide?
