In a secluded clearing deep within Konoha’s forests, a blind girl in a black underlayer stood with her arms outstretched, her slender frame like a cross against the dimming light. Her pale skin glowed faintly under the dusk’s last embers.
Hikari waited silently as Might Guy wrestled with his thoughts.
Mastery of all five chakra natures… Shadow Clone Jutsu… and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique…
Might Guy trailed behind Hikari, carrying his leg weights while mentally recording every detail about her. By tomorrow morning, this intel would be compiled into a written report for the Third Hokage—part of a covert operation to dismantle Hikari’s unknown agenda.
