By the cliff where Boruto had vanished, Uchiha Hikari knelt on the ground, her figure stretched long under the pale moonlight.
A dozen hurried footsteps echoed through the darkness.
Ninjas from the Senju Clan and the Sarutobi Clan approached swiftly, their figures flickering in and out of sight, unable to conceal their killing intent.
"It's the Uchiha Weapon—she's here alone. This is our perfect chance to take her out!"
The leading Senju ninja narrowed his eyes, hands already forming hand signs in secret.
Hikari slowly stood, tears streaming down her face. She quickly wiped them away, her scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan igniting with determination.
"I have to find you, Boruto!"
"Eight Thousand Spears!"
Her gaze swept over the ninjas in front of her. She noticed the marks engraved on their arms—Cursed Seals she had placed before.
But something was wrong. Although her jutsu had marked them, she couldn't extract their chakra.
"What's going on? Why can't I extract their chakra?"
"The Sealing Jutsu worked!" one Senju ninja shouted proudly. "As long as they carry our seal, the Uchiha Weapon's eye techniques are useless!"
The leading Senju smirked, clearly prepared for this moment.
They had come specifically to hunt Uchiha Hikari down. After hearing that the Uchiha Clan was devastated by a meteorite strike and that their "Weapon" had gone rogue, they had combed the area in search of her.
"Uchiha Weapon! Today is your death! Because of you, my brother died on the battlefield. I'll take your head to honor him!"
His voice dripped with hatred. The Sarutobi ninjas beside him shared his fury, their faces hard and merciless.
Even though Hikari looked like nothing more than a lonely young girl, to them she was the terrifying Uchiha Weapon—the nightmare of countless shinobi.
"Cut the chatter!" a Sarutobi ninja barked. "Her eye technique is strong, and the seal won't hold forever. Let's finish this quickly!"
Uchiha Hikari's Mangekyo Sharingan glowed with an eerie crimson light.
Her heart pounded, but her purpose burned bright. She had to find Boruto—the one who gave her freedom and hope. She couldn't die here.
"Attack!"
The Senju and Sarutobi ninjas unleashed their jutsu at once. Fireballs, lightning strikes, and wind blades illuminated the night sky like deadly fireworks.
"Boruto!"
Hikari clenched her fists. Her chakra flared as her long black hair whipped in the wind. She didn't dodge. She charged straight into the storm of jutsu.
"Susanoo!"
A massive, dark-red skeletal giant erupted around her, wrapping her in its armor.
Explosions shook the cliffs, trees snapped like twigs, and dust filled the air.
"It's Susanoo! Scatter!"
The ninjas' faces turned pale. They retreated fast, but their leader barked new orders.
"Don't panic! Her chakra won't last long—keep attacking!"
Ninjutsu after ninjutsu slammed into Susanoo, but they barely left a scratch.
To Susanoo, their combined might was like raindrops on stone.
"Enough!"
Hikari's voice boomed through the night. Tears of blood trickled from her eyes as Susanoo's hands gathered massive amounts of chakra, forming two enormous dark-red scythes.
"Amaterasu!"
The scythes were instantly consumed by black flames. Like twin blades of death, they sliced through the air, black fire trailing behind them.
The night lit up with streaks of shadow and flame. Everything they touched—trees, rocks, even the ground—was reduced to ash.
Screams filled the forest as the flames devoured everything. The black fire danced, relentless and hungry, consuming every ninja it reached.
"She's… that powerful!?"
"Retreat!" shouted the Sarutobi leader, panic gripping his voice.
They turned to flee, but Hikari wasn't about to let them go. She forced Susanoo to raise its burning blades again—but agony surged through her eyes.
Without the Eight Thousand Spears to stabilize her power, maintaining both Susanoo and Amaterasu at her age was unbearable.
Her strength finally gave out, and she could only watch as the survivors escaped.
"Hah…"
She exhaled shakily, gazing up at the moon.
"Boruto… I'm coming to find you."
Ten days later, at the edge of the Uzumaki Clan's territory.
A black-robed figure walked alone, her hood pulled low over her face.
"Tell me," Hikari said coldly, pressing a kunai to a red-haired boy's throat. "Is there a young man named Boruto Uzumaki in your clan?"
The boy's eyes went wide with fear. "N-no! I've never heard that name!"
"Liar."
The kunai bit slightly into his neck, drawing a thin line of blood. He trembled, nearly in tears.
"R-really! I swear! I'm just a regular clan member—I don't know anyone by that name!"
"Impossible! He told me himself his name was Boruto Uzumaki!" Hikari's voice hardened.
She leaned closer. "Does your clan have a boy with golden hair and two whisker marks on his cheeks?"
The boy shook his head frantically, voice cracking.
"S-sister! Everyone in the Uzumkai Clan has red hair! There's no blond boy like that here!"
