At this mont, Uchiha Hikaru looked up at Queen Sara, high above, and subconsciously began to consider whether he should rescue her.
After about 0.1 seconds of deliberation, he decided to give up.
If he jumped in to save Sara now, Mukade would definitely grow suspicious. Although Mukade had fabricated a false identity for him—claiming he was a Konoha guard-nin—they both knew the truth: they were each after the Dragon Vein.
In Uchiha Hikaru's eyes, Mukade likely wanted to use him to eliminate Naruto, Minato, and the others—only to betray him later. If Mukade could defeat him, he would. If not, he'd probably just surrender.
Either way, Mukade would never back himself into a corner.
If he saw Uchiha Hikaru saving Sara now, it would be tantamount to announcing, "Yes, I am a guard from Konoha!"
Worse, Mukade might activate the Dragon Vein and self-destruct. The destruction of Rōran would be one thing—but if the Dragon Vein's chakra vanished as well, Uchiha Hikaru would suffer a major loss.
So, Hikaru simply leapt down into the shade beneath the white stone pillars, pulled out a glass of orange juice from his storage scroll, and settled in to watch the show.
After all, it was three o'clock. Tea ti~ (๑>◡
