Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 484 You're Very Daring

Two days later, outside Konoha Hospital.

"So today's training was canceled just to see this guy?"

Yu looked at Boruto as she spoke: "Anyway, I don't really like him. Although his background as a test subject for the Kara organization is pitiful, his personality is really unlikable."

Sarada nodded in agreement, "Me too. You know, it was because of Uncle Yun that Otsutsuki Isshiki, who wanted to take over his body, was defeated, but this guy didn't even show the slightest bit of gratitude."

Boruto agreed with his teammates, but he scratched his head.

"Actually... if it weren't for Uncle Yun, perhaps my personality would be similar to his."

As he spoke, Boruto raised his hand and looked at the mark on his palm: "Although it might be because of this that my emotions resonated with it. But I want to give it a try, since if he leaves Konoha now, he might really be killed."

These words caused Yu and Sarada to fall silent for a moment.

Two days ago, the high-level discussions in the Hokage Building did not keep them in the dark, and Yun's actions were partly intentional.

A person who inherited the Karma from the Otsutsuki clan and has awakened the initial power of the Jōgan.

In addition, Yu also awakened a portion of the power within his body. With the Rinnegan and the improvement of his physique, coupled with the Eight Gates taijutsu, his explosive combat power is already among the top when he goes all out.

As for Sarada... she's a bit lacking.

In short, the new Team 7 is strong enough to participate in some things.

However, at this moment, Yu and the other two were thinking about the information that Amado had brought.

The abilities of those two girls, Ada and Dimon, are practically unbeatable.

No one would underestimate the power derived from the gods. This is why Boruto said that Kawaki might be killed if he left Konoha.

……

"Fine, we're just here to keep you company anyway. If you can't persuade him, then let him go out and fend for himself."

Yu patted Boruto's shoulder helplessly as he spoke.

Sarada looked at Boruto: "Leaving quietly is his own choice. Anyway, you saw Uncle Yun's attitude two days ago, and that's also the village's attitude."

The reminder is already quite obvious.

The fact that all three children were born into high-ranking families reveals something about them.

The Hokage might want to keep this guy around for some reason, but Uncle Yun is indifferent; he doesn't care whether he stays or not, as long as he doesn't cause trouble.

The three of them went into the hospital, and Boruto went to Yu's family's flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers.

I had just reached the third floor and was about to push open the door when I heard a conversation coming from inside the ward.

……

Ten minutes ago.

In the ward, Kawaki, who had acquired the Otsutsuki physique due to the gradually awakening power of the wedge in his palm, was actually fine after waking up that afternoon.

But he has spent the last two days thinking about his future.

His years in the Shell organization, while causing problems in his personality, also helped him grow from a clueless idiot.

With the gods Amado mentioned, as well as the existence of Aida and Dimon, and Kaud being a follower of Isshiki, leaving Konoha under these circumstances might truly mean losing their protection.

And... that man could really kill me.

"Whoosh."

At that moment, a crimson figure landed in front of the bed in the ward.

"Oh? You're the guy who dared to talk back to Boss Yun? And you're an Otsutsuki?"

"One, two, three, four... a nine-tailed fox, are you nine-tailed?"

The Nine-Tails pointed its paw at Kawaki: "How rude! In Konoha, you should address me as the esteemed Nine-Tails Lord or Fox Lord, understand?"

Kawaki's lips twitched: "Just a tamed chakra entity, and you expect me to call you 'sir'?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox snorted coldly: "I learned about you, brat, from my other half. Is it because of you that Ushioni is currently isolated?"

"I've never been tamed. It's just that Boss Yun showed me a different, more superior way of life. But you... I heard you were brought in by Boss Yun in a big competition, so what are you so proud of?"

"Whoosh!"

The figure of the Nine-Tails stopped at the head of the bed, with chakra emanating from in front of it, and its nine tails coalescing and pointing at Kawaki.

"What do you think will happen if I beat you up now and it gets out of hand?"

Under the pressure of chakra, black marks spread from Kawaki's palm.

His gaze was fixed on the Nine-Tails: "Because of the Eight-Tails? Is his name Gyuki? Since you know about the news from two days ago, you should know very well that the Eight-Tails' isolation has nothing to do with me."

"Even the remaining shell tissue probably wants my life most right now. I am not Isshiki Otsutsuki, and I have no intention of collecting your chakra."

Clearly, Kawaki gave in.

But the Nine-Tailed Fox wasn't going to let him off so easily.

The nine tailed beasts often compete with each other, but the relationship between Kurama and Gyuki is actually quite good.

Or perhaps, the nine tailed beasts gathered within the Sage of Six Paths thousands of years ago, and there was a bond between them.

"Looks like you know very well. If this gets out of hand, the boss will punish me with some time of confinement, but it's not certain for you. He might get angry and hit you too hard, and you'll be done for."

Kawaki frowned. He didn't understand the word "ga-le," but he could guess that it meant "killed."

Kawaki, who had already chickened out, was somewhat helpless. He had even decided to back down, but now it seemed he still had to run away.

At that point, neither side will tolerate him, and things will really go back to the way they were before.

"Bang."

The hospital room door was pushed open, and Boruto looked at Kurama: "When did you get so smart? You actually dared to make a move in the hospital?"

Yu said, "It probably already noticed us when we were downstairs. Don't doubt the Nine-Tails' sensory abilities. If the hospital makes a move, Dad's punishment will probably be more than just sealing it away."

The appearance of Team 7 caused Kurama (the Nine-Tails) to immediately withdraw its chakra.

"Why don't you three come in later? Let me scare this kid a bit, at least that'll be enough to make him pay."

Boruto glared at Kurama (the Nine-Tails), then placed the flowers he bought into a vase on the cabinet: "So you think you can scare him, make him run out of the village, and then he'll die a horrible death, right?"

Boruto paused, then asked, "They're here?"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox snorted coldly and dashed out the window in a flash.

"I'm being lenient by not giving these brats who roam in the shadows a good beating, let alone expecting them to provide you with intelligence?"

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it was clear that the Nine-Tailed Fox had sensed some activity outside the village.

Kawaki looked outside nervously. Were Kawder, Ada, and Dimon, who possessed divine abilities, already waiting for him?

"There's no way Dad wouldn't have noticed what the little nine-tailed fox could sense."

Yu's voice rang out, which relieved Boruto and Sarada.

Boruto looked at Kawaki on the hospital bed: "You'd better not think about leaving. Uncle Yun didn't make a move, which proves that the other party might really only be targeting you."

Kawaki scratched his head in frustration: "The one who truly killed Isshiki was that guy, so why are they targeting me? Just because I'm easier to bully?"

Boruto paused for a moment.

Yu nodded frankly, "It's good that you understand. I always thought it was a miracle that someone with your bad temper and lack of self-awareness had survived this long, but now I understand."

"As an important vessel for the Otsutsuki within the Kara organization, Isshiki wouldn't let you die, but you actually considered ending your own life by seeking death, didn't you?"

At this moment, Boruto waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about such heavy topics. Let's watch TV. Anyway, as long as you stay in Konoha, there shouldn't be any major problems."

The television set hanging on the wall was turned on, and a news report was playing.

"An archaeological team formed by Konoha recently unearthed ancient relics on the seabed. Among them, this artifact, shaped exactly like a turtle, has been determined by the research department to be perhaps ten thousand years old..."

All four of them turned their attention to the television.

Sarada, who didn't care much about Kawaki to begin with, said, "These past few years, they've really pushed the history of the ninja world back again and again. I really don't know how chaotic the Warring States period was. Many things are passed down orally in the form of myths."

Yu shook her head slightly: "Perhaps some things are not myths. My father said that if there were no chakra in the world, our power in primitive society would be enough to be passed down as a myth."

Both of them focused their attention on the television.

Boruto then sat down next to Kawaki: "Although I don't really understand it, because of this thing, I seem to be able to understand some of the things you've been through."

Kawaki looked at the wedge in Boruto's palm.

After slightly raising their heads, their eyes met. After a moment's thought, Kawaki said, "The Otsutsuki you defeated during the Chunin Exams is currently watching your body. Karma is the complete data set of the Otsutsuki, which possessed a human at the last moment, waiting to be resurrected."

Boruto frowned: "That Otsutsuki Isshiki..."

Kawaki: "Uchiha Yun's power was too strong, and he was killed outright. He couldn't even come to me to switch bodies at the last moment. So now I've broken free from his control, and his will is no longer inside my Karma seal."

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing that Boruto seemed to be thinking about something, Kawaki shook his head slightly: "You and I are different. Although Jigen Isshiki's body was overwhelmed, it still sustained him for so long, so his consciousness is not with me."

"This is an opportunity, so once he's been cleanly and efficiently eliminated, I should have no more worries. But you're different. The Otsutsuki inside you is probably not going to leave your body now, no matter what."

Boruto looked over and asked, "Is he scared? Scared that Uncle Yun will kill him as soon as he comes out?"

"No, he cannot leave your body alone, nor will he make another choice."

Kawaki looked at the wedge in his hand as he spoke: "Your body is different from Jigen's. You seem to be able to bear the power of the Otsutsuki."

After he finished speaking, the two remained silent for a long time.

Why are you telling me all this?

Boruto chuckled: "You're just as dishonest as I was when I was a kid. To quote Kurama, you're just too proud to admit it."

"Speaking of which, this is the first time in my life that someone has directly confronted the Hokage and Uncle Yun in the Hokage Building. You should thank yourself for being young, since you weren't slapped to death."

Same as when we were kids?

Still young?

Kawaki's eye twitched: "You're probably much younger than me, right?!"

Boruto shook his head slightly and said smugly, "If we're talking about psychological age, the amount of time I've experienced should be about the same as yours. After all, the experiences in the world of illusions aren't that different from those in reality."

These words made Sarada, who had been eavesdropping nearby, turn around: "Why don't you ask Uncle Yun for help? I feel like the things that were thrown in there have changed a lot."

Boruto was taken aback: "Besides Yu and me, has anyone else ever received this kind of treatment?"

Sarada glanced at him: "Your parents and my dad, the older generation of Class 7, all enjoyed this kind of treatment. And Mom let it slip the other day, it seems my dad was the worst off."

Hmm? There's some gossip going on!

At this moment, Yu also turned around: "Only the two generations of Class 7 have received this treatment. I heard from Uncle Shisui that it requires extremely powerful eye power. Do you think he's qualified?"

These words made Kawaki eager to get beaten up again, but when he saw a pair of Rinnegan eyes looking at him, he immediately calmed down.

He hasn't fully accepted the power of the wedge yet, and he's no match for this guy right now.

……

Meanwhile, at the tram station outside Konoha Village.

Wearing masks, Ada and Dimon were being led off the car by a middle-aged man with respect and admiration.

At this moment, the various merchant guilds were taking inventory of their goods, but the middle-aged man was in no hurry at all, waiting to explain the process of entering Konoha Village to Ada.

"There's still a queue? Can't we just go in? These guys aren't strong. I can just take you in, sister."

Dimon was a little bored. She was really looking forward to Konoha, after all, she had been sealed away there before.

However, Ada looked around and did not use her clairvoyance ability, because she was wary of one of the villagers at the moment.

"We need to keep a low profile, Dimon. That person was able to spot me from that distance; it'll be even easier to spot me here at such close range."

At that moment, a figure appeared behind them.

"You should already know the information Amado revealed, so why are you here at this time?"

Yun was standing behind Ada when the sudden sound startled them both.

An emotionally charged Dimon threw a punch, yelling, "Sister, run!!"

"Smack."

"Whoosh!!"

He easily caught Dimon's punch, and a gust of air spread out from the two of them, like a whirlwind.

"How...how is this possible?!"

Dimon was stunned.

How could I possibly lose after touching the other person?

That force was just a casual tap; there was no secret technique involved, and it wasn't even at full power.
