Hikari Uchiha in Animeverse

[NoName has requested to enter Kikyo's world] 

[Kikyo has approved the request] 

With a flash of white light, Uchiha Hikari appeared in a forested area on the outskirts of a village. 

In front of her was a helicopter, grounded and idle. 

"…So you guys have been using this to hunt for the Sacred Jewel shards these past few days?" Hikari asked. 

"Yup!" Bulma nodded like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Kikyo's world is still stuck in the olden days. The roads are awful, and there are mountains everywhere. Cars are useless here, so this is the way to go." 

Fair enough. 

But… 

Hikari glanced at Kikyo, who was resting on the grass in her traditional miko outfit, then back at the high-tech helicopter. The mental image of Kikyo sitting in the cockpit felt like something out of a weird Naruto crossover episode. 

Bulma, meanwhile, jumped to another topic, her eyes sparkling. "Hey, Hikari, where's that manga you mentioned?" 

An hour later, Bulma set down the manga, looking like she was questioning her entire existence. "So, this arrogant, pint-sized jerk who almost killed Goku and the others… is supposed to be my future boyfriend?" 

"Not just boyfriend—your husband," Hikari clarified. 

When it came to Vegeta, a character who went from villain to hero, Hikari wasn't sure how to judge him. She just went with Bulma's own framing. "The story in this manga is just one possible path your life could take. It's not set in stone. Just take it as a reference." 

"Hmm…" 

Bulma stewed for a bit, then flipped through the manga again. "Okay, but Goku seriously did that to me? Letting that pervy old Turtle Hermit see me like that… Next time I'm at Kame House, I'm gonna teach those two a lesson! And get this—the Dragon Balls were made by the Kami of Earth? If we track him down and get him to whip up a few more sets, couldn't we make a wish every day?" 

"…I don't think it works like that," Hikari said, shaking her head. 

There wasn't hard proof that only one set of Dragon Balls could exist, but a wish-granting system that powerful probably had some limits. Maybe only one Shenron could be active at a time. 

Instead of banking on "getting Kami to make more Dragon Balls," which sounded like a long shot, Hikari was more curious about checking out Namek. 

Problem was, Namek was far. With Dragon Ball's current space tech, it'd take about 4,000 years to get there. Even with a Namekian ship, it'd still be over a month. 

More importantly, wishing on Namek's Dragon Balls required speaking their language, and the wishes might need approval from the locals. The Dragon Balls were guarded by different tribes, and you'd likely have to pass their trials to use them. 

With the strongest Namekians boasting power levels in the tens of thousands, passing those trials the normal way would be tougher than facing a tailed beast. 

So, figuring out how to earn the Namekians' trust and craft a wish they'd accept was something to think about carefully… 

"Eh, I'll figure it out later," Bulma said, scratching her head. She flipped to the Dragon Ball Z section and rubbed her chin. "These Saiyan battle suits and that gravity training room… the tech seems pretty straightforward and useful. I might try building them later." 

Meanwhile, Kikyo calmly set down the Inuyasha manga, her expression as serene as if she'd just read a random folktale. 

"So, Kagome made that choice in the end…" she murmured. "Good. Compared to me, she's a better match for Inuyasha." 

Seeing Kikyo's detached, almost zen-like vibe, Hikari scratched her head, unsure how to respond. "Uh… you know, there's more to life than romance, Kikyo. Just try to keep an open mind." 

"Exactly!" Bulma chimed in. "Even if this world's full of jerks, there are tons of great guys in other worlds. Like…" She paused, struggling to think of an example from her own world, then continued, "Like in Tanjiro's world! Some of the Hashira are pretty cool. I think that Rengoku guy's not bad. And Uzui Tengen—yeah, he's kind of a loudmouth, but he's pretty hot. Worth considering, right?" 

"He's got three wives," Hikari cut in. 

"What?!" Bulma's eyes went wide. "There's no bigamy law in the Demon Slayer world?" 

After some playful bickering, they dropped the topic. 

Hikari asked about Miko's situation—based on earlier chat group messages, Kikyo had already visited her world. 

"Yes," Kikyo nodded. "Miss Miko has remarkable spiritual power. If she were born in my world, she'd make an excellent miko. Her friend, Yurikawa Hana, has even stronger spiritual energy—perhaps surpassing what I had in life. I left her some talismans and taught her a few techniques to deal with spirits. She should be fine for now." 

"Got it," Hikari said, then tilted her head. "Hey, about spiritual power… could Bulma and I learn to use it?" 

"Probably," Kikyo replied after a moment's thought. "Spiritual power is essentially mental energy, drawn from a person's soul. Since everyone's soul varies in strength, so does their spiritual power. In theory, anyone can develop it, but recklessly channeling that energy could disrupt the balance between body and mind, potentially harming the body or even shortening one's lifespan. But you, Miss Hikari, should be fine. I haven't studied it closely, but your world's 'Mangekyo Sharingan' likely shares some similarities with spiritual power. If you're interested, I can teach you how to channel it." 

"Awesome!" 

Hikari wasn't aiming to become a miko. Her interest was in whether spiritual power could enhance her Susano'o. 

For example… 

What if she could craft the Three Sacred Treasures with it? 

Hikari had always been curious about where Itachi got his treasures. The Yasaka Magatama was standard for any Susano'o, but the Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror seemed unique to him. If they weren't physical objects but spiritual constructs made from Sharingan chakra… 

She might be able to pull it off too. 

Like, combining Kikyo's barrier techniques with the Four Violet Flames Formation to create an unbreakable Yata Mirror. Or fusing Kikyo's sealing arrows with the Eight Trigrams Seal to whip up a Totsuka Blade—or at least a Totsuka Arrow. 

Right then and there, Hikari sat down with Kikyo to brainstorm and exchange ideas. 

As the sun began to set, she said goodbye to Bulma and jumped into the Dragon Ball world. 

First, she paid a visit to Dr. Brief, handing over the serum samples and research data from Tachibana Masamune, along with a live Deadpool specimen. Compared to the demons in the Demon Slayer world, Dragon Clan's Deadpool were less dangerous—aside from the rare ones with Word Spirits, most were just tough, thick-skinned beasts. 

After that, Hikari swung by to check on the Cat Sage.
