While the surrounding world has undergone fundamental changes, Hikari's ideology remains unmoving. Without much purpose under the changing political climate, Hikari has exiled herself to understand how she fits in the current era - free of war and dangers - whilst struggling with Kaguya's power. The lack of training and combat proficiency concerns her, and when an unknown Uchiha begins to plot against her village, Hikari is determined to make it her business (with the help of Kuma and certain reanimations, of course).
