Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

"That's been going on for quite a while."

Boruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi stood at the intersection, with Boruto looking extremely anxious.

Sasuke, standing to the side, looked slightly surprised, since Kakashi-sensei was usually the one who was late.

Now, Kakashi-sensei is actually waiting for Naruto?!

Unbelievable.

Kakashi is tarnishing Konoha's reputation as the king of late arrivals.

"ha……

Ever since Orochimaru swept through the ninja world and started the Orochimaru Game, I've managed to be a little more diligent.

Seemingly noticing Sasuke's confusion, Kakashi touched his left eye under his headband and smiled.

He had some doubts in his heart. Although he was indeed a bit late when he first led Sasuke and the others, he would definitely not continue to be late after a few years or a decade.

"Perhaps my diligence only lasted for a very short time?"

Kakashi couldn't help but make a comment.

"Naruto!"

From afar, Boruto spotted Naruto and his two companions approaching leisurely and immediately shouted excitedly.

He skipped and jumped, and in a few leaps, he ran towards Naruto and the others.

"boom!"

But before he could reach Naruto and the others, he was knocked away by a suddenly appearing green figure.

Then it seemed to be kicked hard, and it flew far away, finally crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Boruto!"

Boruto heard Naruto's shout and felt an unbearable pain throughout his back and body.

"Taro!

What are you doing?!

Why attack Boruto?!

Naruto helped Boruto up and glared angrily at Shimura Taro and his group, who were leisurely approaching.

"Who told this guy to run into me?"

If anyone's to blame, it's Xiao Li. After all, it was this kid who bumped into Xiao Li.

Taro looked indifferent, but the gloom in his eyes made the thirteen-year-old boy appear extremely gloomy.

"Taro, you've gone a bit too far."

Sasuke frowned slightly. Over the past year, he had drifted further and further away from Shimura Taro.

Unlike Sasuke, who has become increasingly cheerful, perhaps influenced by Danzo, or perhaps it is simply her nature.

Or perhaps the pressure from hatred completely shattered her mindset.

Nowadays, Taro Shimura's behavior is becoming increasingly violent and unrestrained.

"Ah……"

Taro Shimura shrugged, appearing completely indifferent.

"right……

I'm sorry.

"Sir, it was an accident."

At this moment, Xiao Li ran over with an apologetic look on his face, and Tian Tian approached him with a helpless expression.

Just now, it was Lee who fell from the sky and landed on Boruto, knocking him towards Shimura Taro who was approaching, and then Shimura Taro kicked him away.

"Ah, yes..."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Boruto, somewhat dazed, recognized Lee and immediately guessed his identity, so he gave up on pursuing the matter.

After all, Lee's outfit is exactly the same as Boruto's classmate Metal.

Boruto wouldn't believe they weren't father and son.

Boruto has always thought that Metal's grandfather must be the Jonin Guy who often uses a wheelchair.

"Taro, don't be so reckless in the future."

Naruto is our partner, and Naruto's friends are our friends.

"Something's really wrong with you right now."

Following behind Shimura Taro, Tomoyo frowned deeply and gently advised him.

This made Shimura Taro bite his lip, and he fell silent for a moment.

"snort.

Is that guy Yue still not planning to participate in Orochimaru's...?

Shimura Taro suddenly looked at Xiao Li and Tian Tian, ​​a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

The reason he targeted Boruto just now was partly due to his twisted mentality, and partly because he wanted to vent his anger on Lee.

"Moon-kun said that he does not intend to defeat a mere clone of Orochimaru until he is confident of defeating Orochimaru's main body."

Tenten gave Shimura Taro a deep look and shook her head slightly.

She knew that the relationship between her team and Shimura Taro was deteriorating, largely because Yue had given up on participating in Orochimaru's game early on.

This caused Shimura Taro to harbor resentment.

"It's happening again!"

As expected, Shimura Taro let out a low growl, his face full of resentment.

In his view, since Yue now possessed the power to fight Orochimaru, he should kill Orochimaru and avenge the Shimura clan.

Instead of hiding, he gave up on the Orochimaru game every time.

"Taro, you should reflect on this."

Lately, you've become increasingly impatient.

If you continue like this, you will descend into darkness.

Sasuke suddenly spoke again, his tone somewhat complicated.

He was still somewhat reluctant to give up on his friends.

"Yue must have her own reasons."

Neji spoke up at this moment.

He is becoming increasingly worried about his teammate.

Chapter 165 Orochimaru's Game

"you……

What right do you have to advise me?!

After Sasuke and Neji spoke, Shimura Taro suddenly erupted.

He stared intently at Sasuke and Neji, veins bulging on his neck, his eyes bloodshot.

His once handsome face was now twisted and grotesque.

"Heh, ha..."

Sasuke, wasn't it Uchiha Tsuki who helped you kill Uchiha Itachi?

Otherwise, what gives you the right to treat me with such an arrogant attitude?

"Why doesn't Uchiha Tsukuyomi kill Orochimaru!?"

He could have easily defeated the clones Orochimaru used for his game.

With a low growl, Shimura Taro looked at Sasuke, as if he wanted to devour him.

In his view, he and Sasuke used to have common ground; they were both pitiful souls who had lost their families and shared the same fate.

They should stick together, become the best partners, and fight desperately for the revival of their family and the killing of their enemies.

They had done this before, and Taro was even pleased to have a friend like Sasuke.

However, after Yue killed Itachi, Sasuke betrayed him and lost his hatred.

This made Shimura Taro resent Sasuke.

But he resented the moon even more.

He hated that Light killed Itachi Uchiha but not Orochimaru. This feeling reached its peak after Light stopped participating in Orochimaru's games.

"And you, Hyuga Neji."

I've been putting up with you for so long!

Why did Orochimaru destroy my entire clan?!

But they only killed the Hyuga main family, who were above you.

"Now you, the pathetic soul who suffered so much humiliation at the hands of the Hyuga main family, have finally become the master!"

"Why didn't he take you all..."

At this point, Shimura Taro suddenly paused, and did not continue speaking.

Although he was crazy, he wasn't completely insane. There were things he thought about, but ultimately didn't say them aloud.

In his heart, Sasuke and Neji were still partners. It was just that Shimura Taro felt unfair and that the whole world was against him and helping others, which made him more and more twisted and crazy.

At this point, his mind finally cleared, and he didn't continue.
