Chapter 464 The Weasel's Child

It will take three minutes to heal my companion's injuries, and at the same time, Little Nine-Tails will also need time to get here after receiving my promise of a large sum of money.

The shielding barrier can block perception, but tempted by money, the little nine-tailed fox will definitely enter here, otherwise... it's afraid it will renege on its debt!

Having spent an entire childhood together, Boruto felt he had a clear understanding of Kurama's personality.

But how can I hold out for three minutes?

Having undergone the illusionary cycle of the clouds, Boruto is no longer the fearless fool he once was.

Just from the fact that the opponent casually unleashed a bolt of lightning without forming any hand seals or even making any perceptible movement, it's clear that they did so.

How can we possibly defeat an enemy who has just graduated?

"Give up. No matter how many more conversations like this you have, how long can you stall?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other person waved his arm.

Without warning, another bolt of lightning struck!

"ah!!"

Boruto roared and raised one hand, forming a powerful hurricane. Tiny wind blades condensed, blocking the falling lightning.

This scene piqued the interest of the middle-aged man with the large beard: "A Wind Release technique without hand seals, yet it's not the Rasengan created by the Fourth Hokage. A ninjutsu without hand seals... It seems everyone underestimated you, the son of the Fifth Hokage..."

Boruto, panting with one hand hanging down, stared intently at his opponent: "All you want is the research results from the research department. Compared to them, my status as the Hokage's son is the most suitable. I'll go with you, how about letting my friend go?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly, waved his arm, and a burst of flame appeared out of thin air, surging towards Boruto.

"tumultuous!"

Exhausted, Boruto raised his hand again, and a powerful torrent of water poured out, filling the surroundings with steam.

"Sarana!"

As soon as the sound rang out, Sarada slung Yu on her back and, without hesitation, charged straight towards the outer perimeter.

"Trying to run away while your line of sight is blocked?"

Amidst the misty air, the other party appeared quite disdainful.

"boom……"

Layers of soil surrounded her, and two figures silently approached Sarada.

"I can do more than just medical ninjutsu, you bastard!"

With the hand seals complete, the Great Fireball Technique formed a massive flame. In the instant it separated the two enemies, Sarada threw the feather to the ground and charged forward!

"boom!"

He threw a punch, and his opponent tried to block with his arm, but was directly knocked away by the punch.

Yes, it was shattered like a bubble, without a single drop of blood falling.

The next second, a new figure materialized behind him, a short knife flashing in his hand.

"Bang!"

The kunai clashed with the short sword, and Uchiha Yu, who had just woken up, stood between them. The kunai was pushed down, and a hideous wound appeared on his shoulder.

Clearly, although the attack was blocked, the weakness caused by the lightning paralysis would not be so easy to recover from.

"asshole!!!"

With a roar, two tomoe appeared in Sarada's eyes.

With a single punch, the enemy who was blocking Uchiha Yu's attack vanished into thin air, seemingly without any resistance whatsoever.

"Illusion?"

Just as the weakened Yu was about to say something, a figure flew over.

The fog had dissipated by then, and Sarada quickly caught Boruto after seeing that it was him.

"Don't be so ungrateful, you little brats! If you keep resisting like this, I'll have to kill one of you first."

The middle-aged man waved his hand as he spoke, and the enemy surrounded them again.

Boruto coughed up blood as he fell to the ground, but his right hand was clenched tightly.

Why aren't they here yet?

If they don't come soon... what am I going to do? I have very few ninjutsu scrolls left stored in my bracelet, and it's not time to go on a mission yet, so I didn't have many prepared to begin with.

"Your target... should be me, right?"

At this moment, Uchiha Yu stood up tremblingly, looked at the other party and continued, "That attack just now, you calculated that I wouldn't die, right? You know us very well."

"That's right. If they want to target the three of us, they need to have complete intelligence. Otherwise, they'll probably be killed by Dad as soon as they enter the village."

"From this perspective, you probably know very well that in the village, only your father can grant your requests without any taboos. So... your goal has always been me, right?"

The middle-aged man smiled: "There's still plenty of time. Giving you a chance to stall is pointless. You guessed right, the target from beginning to end has always been you, the only son of the strongest ninja."

"So now... do you want to sacrifice yourself to protect your comrades, just like that son of the Fifth Hokage did?"

Uchiha Yu clenched his fists, and then his deep voice rang out.

"Before this, I had been wondering what my dad meant by protection. It wasn't until just now, when I was being protected at the cost of my life, that I understood a little bit."

"Make them leave!"

He raised his head slightly, and an inexplicable aura appeared, which surprised the middle-aged man with the big beard.

This wasn't power, but rather the aura of the son of the strongest ninja in the world—fearless because he possessed a fundamental sense of self-confidence.

After thinking for a moment, the middle-aged man smiled.

"In a situation like this, who would complain about having more chips in their hand?"

The next moment, lightning struck, and flames surrounded the group.

Clearly, the other party didn't want to delay any longer. Being able to talk for so long was already a pleasant surprise.

The next moment, Boruto, who had pulled the two to his side, raised his right hand again.

One by one, small scrolls on his bracelet fell into the slots, and the Rasengan he condensed in his hand swept up lightning, while water flowed to insulate against the heat of the fire wall.

Even so, the ending was already predetermined.

Once the reel runs out, the three will be captured; it's only a matter of time.

Boruto, under the pressure of the falling lightning, had beads of sweat on his forehead and his legs were trembling slightly.

"Damn it!! If you don't come soon, we'll never earn that money again!"

With a roar, a crimson figure darted into the flames.

"What's going on? You guys are keeping an eye on this Jonin training session, wouldn't it be better if I just helped out?"

Boruto's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "You've ever seen a test that could kill you? They're enemies invading Konoha, kill them!"

The Nine-Tails was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and the next second it swung its nine tails, shattering the lightning in the sky with its powerful chakra.

Under the sweeping force, the wall of fire was also extinguished.

The middle-aged man with the large beard also noticed the uninvited guest: "The Nine-Tails split in two? It seems the intelligence was inaccurate."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky above Training Ground No. 24 suddenly darkened.

Dark clouds obscured the sun, and flames raged across the sky.

The thunderstorm was actually orchestrated by a human being, and the lightning that struck was on a completely different scale from what had just struck.

"This is a bit tricky..."

The Nine-Tails' size increased dramatically, and its tail swept out, placing the three little ones within its chakra.

However, it was also somewhat confused at this moment...

If it were an enemy, even with a shielding barrier, such abnormal energy and sudden changes in the celestial phenomena would make everyone in the village look like idiots.

Also, back then, in order to protect Uchiha Izumi, that guy Yun would often send a shadow clone to follow him. Now that his son has graduated, how could he not pay attention to it?

Besides, do these guys really want to die?

Or did I just wander into the conversation?

Just as I was lost in thought, the thunderstorm that had already occurred suddenly vanished.

Not only that, the figures that had been scattered by the Nine-Tailed Fox and were about to reassemble also disappeared without a trace.

The middle-aged man with the big beard who had instilled fear in the three little ones had now transformed into a rather beautiful woman.

"Um... nice to meet you. My name is Kurama Yakumo. From today onwards, I will be your Jonin instructor."

The Nine-Tails was stunned when it saw this. It quickly put down the three little devils wrapped in chakra. The golden chakra dissipated, and it was ready to run away at any time.

Uchiha Yu looked at Kurama Yakumo opposite him: "Yakumo-neechan, you almost killed me just now..."

Kurama Yakumo remained calm: "The teacher said... it's nothing."

⊙_⊙

This answer made Yu's eye twitch involuntarily. Thinking about it, with her father's abilities, even if he had just died, he could probably pull her back from the brink of death... (_)

At this moment, Yakumo Kurama looked at the Nine-Tails who was preparing to slip away: "Training Ground 24 has a shielding barrier set up, how did you find this place?"

The little Nine-Tails froze on the spot, and in the instant it turned around, it met Boruto's gaze.

Clearly, that means they won't pay if they sell out.

"Ah... um... well... I drank too much this morning, so I thought I'd wander around a bit. I ended up here by accident, and then this kid called me. I thought..."

Kurama Yakumo frowned: "Only three classes will graduate this year. The details will be reported to the Hokage Building. Perhaps you think it would be more suitable for Shikaku to come and find you?"

(○Д○)

The name Shikaku made the Nine-Tails shudder, not because it was afraid of him, but because now was the crucial moment to close the net and collect the money...

The Nine-Tails glanced at Boruto, thinking, "Better to die for a friend than for myself," so there was no room for negotiation in this situation.

After all, the little bit of money Boruto gives you is just extra income; how can it compare to your main job?

"Boruto sent me! He was planning to ask me for help yesterday to eliminate him and send him back. That kid is always looking for shortcuts."

Nine-Tails said righteously, "I originally came here to teach him a lesson, but I mistakenly thought that you, Yakumo, were really an enemy, so I interfered. Otherwise, I would have definitely taught him a lesson."

Boruto: ←_←

I had a lot of swear words I wanted to say, but I held them back.

At times like these, saying too much might lead to more mistakes later on, as the outcome could be uncertain.

……

On the other side, the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Itachi came to visit with his wife and son, so Uchiha Un had to cancel his morning training today.

In the reception room, Yun poured tea and looked at the little boy who was sitting upright and very reserved.

"Shuichi, why are you just like your dad when he was a kid? Can't you learn from your mom?"

Xinzi, standing to the side, rubbed her son's head and said, "Brother Yun, this child's talent comes from his father. He's never really given us much trouble since he was little."

Itachi hesitated, but at his wife's prompting, he had no choice but to speak: "I wonder if he can reach Sasuke's level?"

"bump."

The teacup was dropped onto the tea set by Yun, and everyone fell silent for a moment. Xiu Yi, the boy, also looked at the uncle in front of him.

Although Itachi and Kokoro married earlier than Sasuke, their child is a year younger than Sarada.

In another year, I will reach graduation age.

As one of the high-ranking members of the Uchiha clan, Itachi was also aware of their future enemy, the Otsutsuki clan.

Combining these factors, Yun understood the purpose of the family of three's visit.

After a moment's thought, Yun looked at Itachi: "Even the Rinnegan is of little significance to a god like that. You should understand that."

Itachi countered, "So now you think the special ones are no longer Naruto and Sasuke? Wait, the new Team 7?"

Yun refilled the teacup: "Xuanzhou Kong can't see much of the future anymore. Perhaps because of my existence and his, the final key has shifted to us."

"The future has been changed too much, just like the fate of the Uchiha clan, which was altered by Uzumaki Sora's destruction of Root. A pair of Rinnegan is of little significance."

Itachi nodded indifferently.

After Sasuke had settled down and started a family, the most important place in his heart shifted at that time.

Just as he would give his own eyes to Sasuke so that Sasuke could have the Eternal Eyes, what he wants now is the same as before: to give his child the power to protect himself.

After a long while, Yun looked at the three of them and continued, "Indra and Ashura's chakra are still in Sasuke and Naruto's bodies. The power of all things in the universe is not something that can be easily generated."

"The reason why Black Zetsu has been able to succeed over the years is largely due to the fact that Shin's clones are immune to all rejection reactions. This is due to their special constitution."

"Orochimaru can't solve this problem in the Research Department yet, so..."

Itachi nodded, and bowed slightly along with Kokoro and Shuichi.

After letting out a breath, Koko wanted to change the subject, since she didn't want her son to have to become a ninja.

"Have the teachers for Yu and the others been decided yet?"

Yun replied with a smile, "Yakumo will serve as their instructor Jonin. The two Uchiha clan members are more than capable of teaching them once their bodies catch up."

Itachi thought for a moment and replied, "With the Fourth and Fifth Hokage, we really don't need to worry about their techniques. The same goes for Sarada and Yu. In this way, Yakumo's special genjutsu bloodline limit can give them some training."

As they were talking, Yun suddenly looked up at the window, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate everything.

"Heh... Boruto is just like his father, always managing to pull off some unexpected things. We can take this opportunity to save some money on Shikaku's side."

At this moment, Xiu Yi asked, "Uncle Yun, did Sarada pass the test?"

Yun nodded: "It's considered a pass. It would be a bit embarrassing if the new Class 7 had to be retrained. Yu, that kid, still needs more training."
