Chapter 678: Kawaki, Lack of Love
After receiving the news, Sasuke and Shikamaru immediately rushed back to Naruto's house.
Sure enough, Kawaki and the other three had already returned.
Naruto's mansion was in chaos at this moment.
A huge Ten-Tails cub appeared in the yard, crushing half of the house, and was sleeping; four ninjas from the barrier class nearby opened a barrier and temporarily trapped the Ten-Tails cub inside.
On the other side of the yard, two ninjas from the medical department were treating the unconscious Boruto and Sarada respectively.
Boruto's injuries were not serious.
But Sarada was obviously seriously injured, with more than ten scars of varying sizes on her body, and even her ribs and arms were broken, which shows how fierce the battle was.
Mitsuki, who had mastered [Software Transformation], was hardly injured and was helping Sarada bandage her wound.
As for Kawaki, he sat on the ground dejectedly, seeming to be upset for not being able to rescue Naruto.
"Shh-!"
Sasuke flashed to his daughter's side and quickly confirmed that Sarada was not in danger of life. He felt relieved.
Then the anger in his heart exploded and his eyes were filled with murderous intent!
He actually hurt his precious daughter like this!
More than ten years ago, Sasuke would have already turned Indra's Arrow into a lightning-fast burst.
"What's going on? Mitsuki, what on earth did you encounter?"
Sasuke asked Mitsuki hurriedly.
He wasn't familiar with Kawaki, so it would be safer to ask his family;
And it seems that Boruto and the others did not meet Jigen; otherwise, they would not have come back alive, let alone bring back the Ten-Tails cub.
Mitsuki took a deep breath and began to explain what had happened to the four of them.
...
After the four of them entered Isshiki's different space, they began to search for Naruto.
But soon, Kawaki's right prosthetic arm completely lost the connection with Naruto's chakra.
But that is the chakra that Naruto deliberately left in Kawaki's prosthetic limb. Unless Naruto dies or is completely sealed, it will never be completely disconnected.
Just now, Kawaki relied on that chakra connection to locate Isshiki's alternate dimension and opened the portal.
And now the complete disappearance of chakra connection almost means Naruto's death!
Thinking of this, Kawaki suddenly went crazy and almost lost his mind.
Fortunately, Boruto and his friends calmed Kawaki down and continued the search.
In Boruto's eyes, the invincible Hokage father would never lose, let alone die...
pity.
After some exploration, they did not find any trace of Naruto, but instead found his old nest palace in a different space.
This was the palace where Sasuke had sneaked in to explore and discovered the Ten-Tails, as well as the palace that recorded information about the six Otsutsuki.
Boruto and the others naturally don’t know the Ten-Tails.
I just felt that this monster was extremely powerful and terrifying, and it had the same Rinnegan as my master Sasuke, so it must be no simple person.
But they were so busy rescuing Naruto that they had no time to pay attention to the Ten-Tails and immediately searched the entire palace inside and out.
But still couldn't find Naruto.
The four people finally made the trip but got nothing.
So Boruto, the "King of Ideas", made a decision on the spur of the moment and prepared to capture the young Ten-Tails monster.
You can't come here for nothing!
Moreover, this monster is imprisoned deep in the enemy's lair and is obviously of extremely high value. It is possible that it can be used as a bargaining chip to exchange back for his father Naruto in the future.
After the four of them discussed it, they all thought Boruto's idea was feasible.
Especially Kawaki, he can do anything to save Naruto!
So the four of them released the young Ten-Tails and fought with it.
But even the young Ten-Tails is no simple creature. Even without the power of the Rinnegan, its size and strength are already comparable to those of ordinary tailed beasts.
After a hard fight, the four of them still failed to capture the Ten-Tails larva.
After all, even if the four of them joined forces, it was very difficult to take down Boro, and the Ten-Tailed Cub was far superior to Boro in both strength and regeneration ability.
At one point, the four of them were even forced into a desperate situation.
In the critical moment, Sarada was hit hard by the Ten-Tails' tail in order to save Boruto, and fell to the ground seriously injured and almost died.
Seeing this, Boruto exploded in anger and lost his mind.
This allowed Momoshiki to temporarily take over Boruto's body and activate the Wedge Two form, immediately unleashing terrifying power.
It directly crushed the Ten-Tails and knocked it unconscious!
Finally succeeded in subduing him.
Unfortunately, since the thawing progress of the wedge is not enough, Momoshiki Otsutsuki cannot control Boruto's body for a long time.
After dealing with the Ten-Tails cub, he exited the Wedge Seal state and his soul continued to sleep.
At the same time, Boruto fell into a coma due to excessive consumption.
Kawaki stared at this absurd scene in a daze, not understanding Boruto's final transformation at all, but surprisingly felt that it was very similar to his own...
But under Siyue's urging, they did not dare to stay for long.
So Kawaki activated the Wedge Seal, opened the space portal again, and returned to Konoha Village with the unconscious Boruto and Sarada, as well as the trophy Ten-Tails cub.
...
After listening to Mitsuki's report, Sasuke, Shikamaru and others couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Sure enough, youth is full of energy and is powerful!
Just like Erzhuzi himself back then, the word "fear" does not exist in his dictionary at all.
What's more, there is Boruto, a man with eccentric ideas. As long as they dare to think, there is nothing they dare not do.
Fortunately, the process was crazy.
But fortunately, they did not meet Jigen, and fortunately, all four of them returned alive, and even brought back this Ten-Tails cub.
Even though we failed to find Naruto, this was already a great achievement!
Of course, Sasuke just hoped that Boruto and Sarada would be safe. After all, such danger should not be borne by these children.
Besides.
What Sasuke and the others care about most is Boruto's final transformation.
"You mean, Boruto's last chakra aura changed completely, with wedge marks appearing on his body and horn-like things growing from his head?"
Mitsuki: "Yes. Boruto looked very scary. He subdued the monster in an instant. He has become a complete stranger."
Sasuke guessed: "Is it Otsutsuki Momoshiki? His consciousness is hidden in the wedge, and he took the opportunity to control Boruto?"
“Something like that, but I’m not sure.”
"Okay, I get it. We will handle this matter carefully. Mitsuki, you should go and rest as well."
"Ok!"
Mitsuki nodded. He was not a brainless middle school boy.
He knew that when he encountered something he couldn't handle, he should seek help and advice from adults as soon as possible. This was also the truth that Aunt Snake often taught him.
...
Then, Sasuke created two clones and personally sent the unconscious Boruto and Sarada back to the hospital.
Then its real body, together with Shikamaru, went to find the dazed Kawaki.
Kawaki is in a very bad condition at the moment.
Of course it's not the body, but the mental state.
Although this trip to steal the house brought back the Ten-Tails cub, it failed to save Naruto, which was a huge blow to Kawaki.
It was like the girlfriend that he deeply loved was taken into the devil’s den and then completely disappeared.
Naturally, its end was unimaginably tragic.
Although this analogy is a bit distorted, for Kawaki, Naruto is now his most important relative!
There's nothing I can do. It's not Kawaki's fault.
Kawaki himself had a miserable life. He was abused by his alcoholic father since he was a child. Then he was sold to Jigen and trained by him through crazy experiments...
He has never experienced any genuine love from others in his entire life.
Now that I suddenly meet Naruto and enjoy his fatherly care and love from the bottom of his heart, how could I not be fascinated?
You know, if someone on the Internet shows concern for you a few times, some people will be so excited that they will transfer money to him/her or even give up their lives.
Don’t underestimate humans’ strong need for affection!
Not to mention Kawaki, who has just experienced the meticulous care of Naruto, the male succubus of Hokage.
It would be strange if it didn’t fall!
Look at the mighty Kazekage Gaara, who was only in his teens, and was easily defeated by Naruto!
Therefore, Naruto is willing to care for Kawaki with all his heart.
Kawaki is naturally willing to do his best to rescue Naruto, not to mention that Naruto was captured by Jigen because of him.
And now, Kawaki has finished searching Isshiki's alternate dimension, but still hasn't found any trace of Naruto.
Even now, even his right hand can't sense Naruto's chakra.
Sufficient to prove that:
Either Naruto has been killed by Jigen! Or he has been completely sealed away somewhere!
Either way, it's a huge blow to Kawaki!
If it is the latter, there may still be a glimmer of hope; if it is the former, Kawaki will probably collapse on the spot.
...
"Kawaki! Tell the truth, what is the purpose of your Kara organization?"
Shikamaru has always had a grudge against Kawaki. It's not a deliberate hostility, but a rational judgment for the safety of the village.
Just like in real life, a core member of a world-class terrorist organization suddenly appears and comes to your house to ask for asylum. He also brings the enemy into his own territory and captures his own leader in public.
Rationally speaking, this behavior is almost a declaration of war, and Shikamaru's alertness and caution are the most normal reactions.
On the contrary, it was Naruto's unconditional trust and love that was the outlier among outliers;
But it is precisely because he is different from ordinary people that Kawaki attaches so much importance to Naruto.
Faced with the questioning, Kawaki sat on the ground and ignored Shikamaru.
I only think about how to find Naruto and rescue him, even if it means sacrificing myself...
"Hey! Talk to me!"
Shikamaru was very unhappy with Kawaki's attitude.
But Sasuke reached out to stop Shikamaru: "Naruto trusts him very much, so we should trust Naruto. Let me question him for now."
Shikamaru was helpless. How could he object to Sasuke's words?
"Kawaki, you want to rescue Naruto, right?"
Sasuke stepped forward, stood in front of Kawaki and asked.
Upon hearing Naruto's name, Kawaki's eyes focused a little, and then he responded with a painful look:
"Yes!"
"It's all my fault. I'm the one who killed the Seventh Hokage!"
"I shouldn't have stayed in Konoha Village and attracted Jigen..."
"And we haven't been able to find the Seventh Hokage. Maybe, maybe he's already dead!"
Kawaki held his head and trembled, muttering in pain and regret.
He was only 14 years old, and was tortured and experimented on by Jigen most of the time. He could not be as mature and calm as Sasuke and the others.
Faced with unsolvable nightmare-level difficulties at this moment, it is inevitable that one's mentality will collapse.
