Chapter 707: Taking the Ōtsutsuki's path and leaving the Ōtsutsuki with nowhere to go
The early morning sun gradually rose, dispersing the large patch of black fog over the Hidden Mist Village. Unfortunately, it could not blow away the thick smell of blood and burnt food all around.
Boruto stood on a ruin, wiped the blood off the dagger in his hand, and glanced at the surrounding battlefield in a daze, with an indescribable sadness and shock in his heart.
This is the real war!
It was no longer the adventurous little fights he had had before, but a real bloody fight!
There is no right or wrong, no justice, only life and death!
"call out--!"
Suddenly, a kunai shot from behind Boruto, aiming straight at his head.
Boruto slightly turned sideways, a cold light flashed in his hand, and he instantly chopped the kunai away.
The attacker was a Kirigakure Genin who had been targeting Boruto for a long time.
Even though the Hidden Mist Village has surrendered, there are still a few stubborn resistance elements hiding in the ruins, trying to counterattack.
Seeing that his sneak attack failed, the opponent immediately rushed out and pounced on Boruto.
But the next second, he hadn't gotten close to Boruto yet.
He was killed on the spot by Kawaki who came from the other side. A spike made of inorganic matter in his right hand instantly pierced the opponent.
"Idiot, what are you thinking about?"
Kawaki pulled out the spike, turned to look at Boruto, and criticized him with dissatisfaction.
"He can't hurt me."
Boruto sheathed his sword once again and responded simply.
"Tsk... Tell me, how are your achievements? I killed seventeen Mist Ninjas, one of whom was a Jonin. How about you?"
"I killed three and disabled nineteen."
"Humph! Why don't you kill them all? Do you have to leave hidden dangers for yourself? You are still so naive at this point. How can you possibly save Naruto..."
"If necessary, I will show no mercy. Besides, you don't have to take care of my business, and you don't have to teach me what to do."
Boruto was not angry with Kawaki, he just didn't like the way Kawaki didn't take human life seriously.
But there's nothing he can do. Kawaki can't compare to his birth with a golden key. He was an experimental subject raised in a nutrient chamber by Jigen since childhood. He has no sense of human ethics and common sense, let alone empathy for other ninjas.
"I don't want to care about you. I'm just afraid that you'll be soft-hearted and make mistakes. You've already killed your mother, and I don't want you to kill Naruto again!"
"What did you say?"
"Isn't what I said the truth?"
"Kawaki!"
"Boruto!"
The two friends started fighting again after just a few words.
Fortunately, a Buddhist monk named Guoxin suddenly appeared and stopped the fight between the two.
Signaling to Sasuke that he had something to ask them.
So, the three of them immediately rushed to Sasuke's side.
Sasuke, with the help of Amado and the former Mizukage Mei Terumi, had just led the Kara organization to occupy the Hidden Mist Village and declared war on the entire ninja world on the Fifth Ninja World War.
It is worth mentioning that.
After Sasuke personally returned to the Kara organization base and captured Amado and the other two.
The latter voted without any hesitation.
Of course, it wasn't entirely because he succumbed to Sasuke's tyranny, but Amado himself realized the inconsistencies in his memory, and he also examined Kawaki's body.
After confirming that Kawaki's body had also been modified by himself, it was enough to prove it.
Moreover, the information about "Omnipotence" that Sasuke brought also made Amado realize that it was Aida who launched the divine power and modified everyone's memory.
Of course, the power of [Almighty] is not limited to this.
Even if you have noticed the abnormality and understood the truth, you will still be forced to correct it before long!
It’s probably like remembering something today, but forgetting it the next day after a good night’s sleep, and the cycle repeats itself over and over again.
To put it more extreme, it's like your parents have been impersonated by someone, and you have noticed the clues, but you will still be corrected and tampered with by this force, and think that the impersonated parents are still your parents.
This is very scary...
The feeling of knowing the truth but having your memory forcibly erased is enough to drive people crazy.
Fortunately.
As a top scientist, Amado also has his own simple way of dealing with things. After all, he believes in scientific evidence more than his own memory.
So, I recorded a video on my projection glasses to remind myself that my memory had been tampered with, and I would play it for myself on a regular basis every day.
Although it does not cure the disease permanently, it can treat the symptoms in a short period of time.
Just like when you open your phone every day, you can see a self-recorded video that not only tells you that your parents have been impersonated, but also reveals the deepest secrets in your heart.
Even if my memory is reset every day, I will still try to verify it more or less, right?
Of course, this is only a temporary solution.
After all, such long-term memory confusion and conflict can easily lead to various mental problems. Insomnia and neurasthenia are minor problems, and in serious cases, split personality is not impossible.
How to cure the root cause? Amado currently has no good solution and can only study it step by step.
As for Master Guoxin? Although he has not yet awakened the power of the [Ten Directions] magic, he basically follows Amado's lead.
Besides, he is not immune to Sasuke's illusions. Basically, with one Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan illusion every day, this Kashin monk has become a reliable family member.
So.
With the help of Amado and Kashin Koji, Sasuke quickly mastered the entire Kara organization.
Don’t think that the Shell Organization only has a few core members left now.
But the large number of outer formation members, as well as the vast amount of funds and technology, are still very impressive; taken together, they are enough to rival the power and value of a large village.
Moreover, as a notorious evil organization, the name alone is very suitable for launching wars and creating conflicts.
The key is that the shell organization is still the same as the old nest.
This tactic of occupying the magpie's nest will undoubtedly stimulate the enemy and make it easier for one to seize the initiative.
This was the effect Sasuke wanted.
...
Soon, Boruto and his friends found Sasuke.
The latter was sitting on the ruins, with a fawning Amado on his left and a humiliated Mizukage Mei Terumi on his right.
"Master, are you looking for us?"
"How's the cleaning going?"
Sasuke asked expressionlessly, obviously ready to embark on this bloody and sinful path.
"It's still ongoing, but it's almost over. Most of the potential resistance from the Mist Ninja have been uncovered."
Boruto shed his childishness and reported seriously.
It was not just the two of them who cleansed out the remnants of resistance in the entire Hidden Mist Village, there were also hundreds of outer members of the Kara organization.
It's just that they are led by Boruto, Kawaki and Kashin Koji respectively.
At this moment, more than an hour had passed since Mei Terumi publicly surrendered, and the remaining stubborn resistance elements in the Hidden Mist Village had basically been cleared out.
Even though Boruto couldn't bear to kill, he still completed his master's orders faithfully.
"very good."
"Now that the resistance of the Hidden Mist Village has been basically wiped out, we should get down to business."
"Just now, I have announced the Fifth Ninja World War to the entire ninja world. A new war will break out soon!"
Sasuke narrated bluntly without hiding anything.
"Ninja World War?!!"
Boruto was shocked. He didn't expect that the Ninja World War, which he grew up listening to as a fairy tale, would suddenly happen to him.
Moreover, he stood against Konoha and the whole world, becoming the evil party that started the war.
This magical feeling made Boruto feel a little dazed.
"Will this save the Seventh Generation?"
Kawaki immediately asked back excitedly. He didn't care about war or not, he only cared about whether he could save Naruto?
"can."
"Okay! What do you need me to do? Who do you need me to kill?" Kawaki was impatient and his determination was extremely firm.
"Master, let me be the vanguard in the next battle!" Boruto asked in a deep voice, his heart as firm as a rock.
After a moment's silence, Sasuke continued:
"The target of the next battle is initially set to be the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning. My former Raikage brother has been very 'good' to me. It was difficult to retaliate against Naruto before, so this time we can settle the score together."
"However, neither of you will have to participate in the next battle. You have other tasks to do."
Boruto and Kawaki were stunned, not understanding what mission could be more important than participating in the Ninja World War?
"This Ninja World War is just a cover to attract everyone's attention. During this time, I need you to quietly capture the tailed beasts!"
Sasuke explained.
"Tailed beast? Master, what do you want the tailed beast to do?"
"Of course it's used to cultivate the sacred tree."
"what?"
"Can't I, Otsutsuki Sasuke, plant a sacred tree? Can't I, Otsutsuki Sasuke, eat the chakra fruit?"
"This……"
Boruto: ミ? Д? 彡
Kawaki: o(?Д?)っ!
Amado: o_O ||
Everyone was stunned, wondering if Sasuke was really addicted to pretending to be Otsutsuki? He was actually starting to want to eat the Chakra Fruit?
...
