Although it was just a meme, what if, just what if!!!
"OK, you guys guessed half right, brothers. That masked man really was lurking nearby with bad intentions. But he probably didn't expect Mōryō to lose so quickly.
He didn't even get a chance to ambush before Fufu sent him packing. Wait, no—if that's the case, why didn't he just retreat right away instead of sticking around for one hit? That's weird."
"The masked man being nearby isn't surprising. What matters is that light over there—no, it should be called Uchiha Hikari. In the movie, I saw her not making a move the whole time and thought she was just a side character.
I didn't expect her to be this strong. Pay attention to her eyes—they're not ordinary Sharingan, but the same Mangekyō Sharingan as Uchiha Itachi's. I just don't know whose Mangekyō abilities are stronger between them."
"And that masked man too—the only eye visible through his mask is clearly a Mangekyō as well. Its ability seems to be able to nullify attacks. Looks pretty powerful too."
There was no time to mourn Mōryō's "death." The audience's attention was instantly drawn to Uchiha Hikari unleashing her divine might. In the brief clash with Obito, both sides revealing their Mangekyō Sharingan became the main topic of discussion.
To be honest, although Obito's Kamui is insanely strong and even performed impressively in the final Kaguya battle, that was with the boost from his remnant Six Paths power.
So if Furina had to say who was stronger, she would still pick her own Hikari. After all, Hikari's Eight Thousand Spears just haven't been fully utilized yet. If those were placed in the hands of a ruthless villain with no limits on imprinting, it could absolutely bring a massive catastrophe to the ninja world.
Huh, feels like I'm forgetting something?
"Damn, Fufu is so petty! She knows Shion is the real deal and still scares her like that—keeping a straight face and acting all serious. With that acting skill she could switch careers to become an actress."
"Sigh, my wife Hikari is still the kind one. She deliberately laughed out loud to remind Shion. If she hadn't seen Shion looking like she was about to cry from anxiety, Fufu is great at everything except when there's nothing going on—she becomes the biggest problem herself."
What do you mean I'm petty? Come on (〝▼皿▼)
"Yo, Furina. Haven't seen you in a while—you seem to have grown taller again, huh."
"Hmph." Hearing the voice, Furina, who had been immersed in the projection, snapped back to reality. She looked at Jiraiya across from her, who was grinning and gesturing at her height with his hand. Furina couldn't help but let out a laugh (out of irritation).
Did she grow or not? She herself didn't know? Yes, she had grown a little, but only a tiny bit—one or two centimeters at most.
She had no idea what was going on. She ate well every single meal, so why wasn't she growing? Could it be that even after transmigrating into Furina, her height wouldn't change? No way, not that kind of thing.
"Lord Jiraiya, compared to my height, my strength has actually improved much more noticeably. I was wondering if you've been free lately and could give me some guidance?"
When she said the word "guidance," Furina clearly emphasized it. Jiraiya across from her felt it even more strongly. Although Furina was still wearing a sweet smile, he suddenly had a very dangerous feeling.
The last time he felt something similar was when he tried to peek at Tsunade bathing and got beaten half to death. This time the feeling was even stronger than back then.
With the word "Danger" floating above his head, Jiraiya was just about to call out to his disciple to change the subject when he realized that, at some point, Naruto had silently slipped far away—too far for him to even call out to.
