Chapter 697 Transformation and Growth
At this moment, facing Boruto's desperate death plea, Sasuke would not tolerate it.
"Snapped--!"
She slapped Boruto directly on the face, knocking him away from Sumire's arms. Boruto was unable to react in time and rolled to the side like a ball, with his entire left face quickly becoming red and swollen.
"Boruto!"
Sumire was worried about Boruto, but considering the 'notorious' reputation of Uchiha Sasuke, she didn't dare to stop him.
The master was teaching his apprentice, so why should she interfere?
Besides, it doesn't look like Sasuke really wants to kill Boruto.
"When you encounter a little setback, you have to fight to the death. Is this what Naruto taught you?"
Sasuke frowned and scolded, secretly sighing that the mentality of this generation of Konoha's tough guy was really bad.
If it were my class, except for Sakura in the early days, if the others encountered such a tragedy, they would not necessarily become strong immediately, but they would not commit suicide directly.
For example, Shikamaru who lost Asuma, Hinata who lost Neji, Naruto who lost Jiraiya, and myself who lost all my loved ones... and so on.
We all managed to get through it.
"Lion Axe...I..."
Boruto was beaten so hard that he was dizzy and stood there like a fool, covering his swollen left face.
"If you really want to die, I won't stop you. Just commit suicide!"
"I will pretend that I don't have you as my apprentice."
"As for Naruto, just pretend that you, a useless son, don't exist; and as for Himawari, just pretend that you, a useless brother, don't exist either!"
Sasuke drew out his Kusanagi sword and threw it directly in front of Boruto, giving Boruto the choice.
This is the difference between Sasuke and Naruto.
Sasuke is willing to help Boruto, but only on the premise that God helps those who help themselves;
If he was a wimp who gave up on himself, he wouldn't even be qualified to be an experimental subject in Orochimaru's base back then, and Sasuke wouldn't even bother to look at him, let alone help him.
Boruto was awakened by this blow and stared at the Kusanagi sword in front of him in a daze.
The despair of wanting to die in my heart was gradually shattered.
Seeing this, Sasuke added fuel to the fire.
"If you don't want to die, get up quickly!"
"We don't have time to waste. Your father is still waiting for rescue, and your mother will be resurrected in the future. Sunflower needs your care even more..."
"Only by defeating the enemy and changing everything can the village return to its original state!"
“Do you understand?!!!”
Boruto suddenly woke up.
Yes!
Everything is not yet irreversible. My father, sister, and so many companions and friends are waiting for me to save them!
If I give up on myself and choose to commit suicide now, who can save everything?
Just rely on the master?
Let the master make up for all the sins he has committed? Boruto is not shameless and stupid enough to be so...
"I understand!"
"I must rescue my father, save my mother, and make the enemy who caused all this pay the price!"
Boruto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grabbed the sword in front of him, and stood up again.
this moment.
All the childishness in Boruto's eyes instantly faded away, killing all the innocence and youthfulness; what was left was only thick hatred and iron blood, and the determination to reverse everything!
most of the time.
The transformation and growth from a boy to a man often takes just a moment, just an opportunity!
Boruto is the same at this moment!
...
Seeing Boruto regain his spirits, Sasuke's expression also relaxed a bit.
As expected of Naruto's offspring, even though he grew up in a honey pot, at least he is tough enough and doesn't act like a coward all the time.
"Master, do you know what happened?"
"Why did Kasan and Mitsuki suddenly attack me?"
"What on earth am I..."
After the transformation, Boruto suppressed all the grief in his heart and began to pay attention to the tragedy itself, trying to find information and answers.
"It's not your problem."
"The enemy activated some kind of ability and tampered with the memories of everyone in the village."
"Now in their eyes, you and I have become the Otsutsuki enemies of the Kara organization, so your mother and Mitsuki will treat you as an enemy and suddenly attack you."
Sasuke explained the key points without going into detail, after all, time was limited.
"You tampered with the memory of the entire village all at once?"
"It may not be the whole village, it may even be the whole world..."
"How could this be? The enemy actually has such a terrifying ability?!!"
Boruto frowned in horror, secretly sighing that this was truly horrible, but he also felt a little better in his heart.
At least he knew that his mother and Sunflower attacked him not on their own initiative, but were controlled by the enemy's ability.
For Boruto, this is already a kind of redemption and relief.
"This ability is indeed terrifying, but it must have some limitations and weaknesses, otherwise the enemy would have used it long ago..."
Sasuke was very rational and carefully analyzed the limitations of [Omnipotence], although he didn't even know the name of this divine art.
But just like my brother said, every technique has its weaknesses!
Even divine magic is no exception!
"Did the enemy only tamper with the identities of me and you, Master, in other people's memories?"
"No, there were four people who tampered with it in total. Including you and me, as well as Naruto and Kawaki."
"Father and Kawaki? What have they become?"
"Naruto also became Ōtsutsuki Naruto in his distorted memory, and Kawaki became the son of Uzumaki Jigen, who replaced the Seventh Hokage, and the hostage we kidnapped."
Sasuke had already made a preliminary guess about the enemy's target.
He turned himself, Naruto and Boruto into enemies of the Kara organization in order to use Konoha Village to get rid of the three of them.
After Kawaki became the son of Hokage Jigen Uzumaki, Konoha would not kill Kawaki, but would try their best to capture him alive.
This way.
You can make the most of the power of Konoha and the whole world to weaken or even kill Sasuke and others, and get Kawaki alive.
What a despicable and cunning Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is!
Since he can't beat me, he uses such despicable means to manipulate others to attack him.
It turns out that all the Otsutsuki are beasts!
Oh, the old man in feathered clothes who once gave me a cheat is barely excluded...
"Damn Jixian!"
"I must kill him!"
Boruto was filled with rage and wished he could cut the culprit who had taken away everything from him into pieces!
However, he soon noticed another problem:
"Oh, Master... But why aren't Sarada and the squad leader affected? They both seemed to recognize me and helped me just now..."
Boruto came to the squad leader Sumire Kageyama and helped her up, and was also very surprised by this.
Even her mother and Mitsuki couldn't stop their memories from being tampered with, so how could they not be affected?
"Ah? Boruto, I…"
Sumire was still a little confused and didn't understand the conversation between Master Sasuke and his apprentice at all; but Boruto's resurrection made her very grateful and excited.
To Jin Jin, everything else is not as important as Boruto!
"She herself probably doesn't know the reason. This is indeed an unsolved problem, but it may also be an opportunity!"
Of course Sasuke noticed the specialness of Sarada and Sumire.
Knowing that their memories are still intact and have not been tampered with.
This is also what confuses Sasuke the most.
If only Sarada's memory was not tampered with, it might be possible that the enemy did it intentionally. After all, Sarada is his daughter and is worth using.
But why didn't Sumire's memory get tampered with? Is she special? Is she so familiar with Boruto?
This speculation is obviously untenable.
Therefore, rather than being intentional, their memory immunity was more likely an unknown special accident. Even Sasuke couldn't figure out the reason.
But any surprise means a flaw.
This might be a loophole in the enemy's magic, and it also gave Sasuke a chance to counterattack!
