Naruto

In the Country of Fire, in a forest on the outskirts of Esaki County, Boruto, Konohamaru, Mitsuki, Kawaki, and Sarana were surrounding Naruto, nervously looking at an ice curtain suspended in mid-air. Until the screen

After the black curtain of time wrapped in deadly high-energy particles completely disappeared, Naruto waved his hand gently and withdrew the chakra that maintained the ice curtain. A faint smile appeared on his face: "Konoha is safe again

The crisis is over.”

"It's too strong..." Boruto stared at the broken ice on the ground and said in a daze.

"Is this the true strength of Hokage-sama?" This thought flashed through the minds of Zuo Lianna and Miyue at the same time.

"It's true that there are people outside the world, and there is a God outside the world." Konohamaru felt that he seemed to be further away from his goal of becoming the next Hokage.

"Is Ci Xian really dead?" Kawaki raised his eyes and stared into Naruto's lake-blue eyes, his shoulders shaking slightly.

"Well, but I still have some finishing work to complete." Naruto raised his right hand and gently touched Kawaki's eyebrows with his index finger. Black lines emerged from his fingertips and turned into threads, crawling

All over Kawaki's face. The "wedge" in his body was instantly activated under such stimulation. The blue tattoo spread along his arms to his whole body, and a bare horn also protruded from his forehead and gradually took shape.

Kawaki's breathing began to become heavier due to the conflict between the two forces in his body.

"Seal!" Naruto shouted softly, and the lines and tattoos on Kawaki's body quickly faded, and soon completely disappeared from his skin. Kawaki suddenly opened his eyes, staggered back a few steps, his face

Already dripping with sweat.

"This brain seal will block the influence of all alien chakra on your central nervous system and prevent the existence in Ci Xian from invading your body." Naruto walked up to Kawaki and pulled up his only remaining left hand.

He said gently but firmly, "Bury all those nightmares. From now on, your life will only be determined by you alone."

Kawaki withdrew his hand like a frightened kitten, touched his cheek, lowered his head and said, "Thank you."

"Kawaki has always been like this. Don't blame him, dad. He is actually very grateful to you." Boruto put his right hand on the short-haired boy's shoulder and smiled at Naruto.

"It's okay, I can understand." Naruto touched the heads of the two of them comfortingly, then reached out and touched Boruto's eyebrows, "Since I encountered this opportunity today, I will eliminate all the hidden dangers in you two.

And solve it."

"Your abacus is really good, fox." Boruto's eyes suddenly became covered with a layer of white clouds, and his voice became a bit colder.

"Otsutsuki Momoshiki?!" Mitsuki, Konohamaru and Sarana all exclaimed, looking at Boruto whose body had been taken over by Otsutsuki as if they were facing an enemy.

"Do you really think that I can't do anything to you just because I'm afraid of rats, Momoshiki?" Naruto felt nauseous when he saw the other person's Boruto expression full of contempt and arrogance, "I advise you.

It is better to cooperate with me honestly to complete the seal, which will be beneficial to both of us. Otherwise..."

"What else?" A strong shock wave erupted from Momoshiki, pushing all the surrounding ninjas several meters away. But to the former's surprise, this shock wave even touched the hem of Naruto's clothes.

It didn't move even an inch.

"Otherwise I will have to resort to less friendly means."

Brilliant starlight flashed through Naruto's cold eyes. Everyone saw that Momoshiki (Boruto)'s cheeks suddenly lost the color of his blood, and his body fell softly to the ground. Both of his white eyes were filled with scarlet red.

Bloodshot.

"Devil! You...you are the devil!" Momoshiki's shrill scream, combined with Boruto's slightly hoarse voice during the voice-changing period, made everyone present feel chills on their backs.

"I, Naruto Uzumaki, never tell lies." Naruto leaned down and put his fingers on his forehead again, "I hope you can be a little more understanding this time."

Momoshiki's expression was distorted, and his whole body was shaking violently as if he was being electrocuted. Until the latter's seal was completed and Boruto's soul regained control of his body, he was unable to say another word.

"What exactly did you do to him, dad?" Boruto's first sentence asked the question that everyone present wanted to ask.

"I deprived him of his five senses and left his soul alone in a awake state for forty-eight hours." Naruto replied calmly.

Everyone imagined being alone in absolute darkness and silence for two days and two nights, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

"The Otsutsuki clan has always only believed in the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, and all good intentions will be regarded as weakness by them." Naruto sighed softly, "Besides, I am an outsider after all, and I cannot stay in this timeline.

Too long. For many things, we can only choose to solve them in the fastest and most direct way. Can you understand?"

"I understand, dad." Although Boruto still disagreed with Naruto's actions, he still reluctantly accepted the latter's reasons.

Naruto patted his shoulder wordlessly, jumped onto a tall birch tree in a flash, turned to say to everyone: "The mission is urgent, let's get on the road quickly."

"yes!"

Under the setting sun, Konohamaru and his party came to a quiet grassland. Unknown yellow flowers were dotted in the green grass, and the faint fragrance lingered on everyone's noses, making them relax physically and mentally.

"Chief Chiho and the man in black who made a deal with him in the woods disappeared here." Naruto stopped, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light, "Even the illusions used to decorate the facade are so exquisitely chosen.

, it seems that they really have a good background."

"Illusion? But it's obvious..." Konohamaru stared at the green grass, thinking hard for a while, and suddenly showed an expression of realization, "So that's it!"

"Konohamaru-nii, please don't make me dumb!" Boruto shouted dissatisfied, "What kind of genjutsu is this?"

Sarana concentrated most of the chakra in her body on her eyes, and a pair of three magatama sharingan eyes emitted a faint red light under the stimulation of chakra.

"Okay, Sarana, don't waste your efforts. This is not a vision-based illusion, and the Sharingan has no effect on it." Naruto stopped the girl's futile attempt, "This illusion is called 'Veil of Ignorance'

', it is one of the few illusions that can transcend the five senses and directly act on the spirit."

"'Veil of Ignorance'?" Siyue chewed these words gently in her mouth.

"The 'veil of ignorance' is generally used to hide objects or buildings that are difficult to obscure by conventional visual illusions. Because this illusion has a complex structure and cannot be moved once it is deployed, it has no practical value in combat."

Naruto explained patiently, "But ninjas may encounter various difficulties that have nothing to do with combat in actual missions. You should pay attention to accumulating more of this knowledge and experience in the future."

"So how does this illusion work? And how do we break it?"

"Ha, Kawaki, you asked a very good question. I just said that the 'veil of ignorance' is not a visual illusion. Its mechanism of action is very simple, which is to make your brain actively ignore the information of the specified object.

.”

"Are you actively ignoring it..." Siyue bit her lip and pondered for a moment, then looked up, with a knowing smile on her face, "That's it."

"Why are you even starting to show off, Mitsuki!" Boruto growled angrily.

"Don't be impatient. If you take a closer look, there is actually a very conspicuous tower in the grass, but you haven't noticed it yet."

"How is it possible..." Boruto muttered and turned around, suddenly froze on the spot, and said with a dull look on his face, "When..."

In his field of vision, a tall black tower stood quietly on the grass. The smooth body of the tower reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, and the pointed top of the tower shot straight into the sky like a spear.

"This is the origin of the name 'veil of ignorance'. In fact, it has never left our field of vision. It is 'ignorance' that prevents us from detecting its true face." Naruto smiled and explained to Boruto.

Reason, "On the contrary, if you already know its existence, the 'veil of ignorance' will naturally no longer be effective on you."

"What a magical illusion!" Boruto stretched his neck to look at the entire tower and sighed sincerely.

"How are we going to sneak into the interior of this tower? It must be surrounded by various detection devices, right?" Sarana opened her Sharingan and looked around for traces of cameras and barriers.

"What you said is absolutely correct, Zorina, but you just said it a little late." Naruto raised his right hand and pointed at a cluster of brightly blooming small yellow flowers, "There are two pinholes in it.

There are cameras, one visible light, one far infrared, and a rune for detecting chakra fluctuations. The people inside know our every move now better than we ourselves."

"What?" Zoliana's body suddenly became tense, and she took out a few shurikens from her ninja bag with her left hand and held them between her fingers.

Naruto gently pressed Sarana's shoulders and waved towards the spire of the tower: "Hey, let me tell you, you guys have been peeping for so long, it's time to come out and meet, right?"

A graceful woman in a red dress walked out of the main entrance of the tower in response, blessing Konohamaru and Naruto, "I am the governor of Esaki County, Sarutobi Chiho. I apologize for my indifference just now."

Naruto turned to Konohamaru and asked: "Konohamaru, is she one of your clansmen?"

"Yes." Konohamaru nodded slightly, his eyes firmly fixed on Chiho's calm and pretty face, "Why are you getting involved with these people, Chiho?"

Before Chiho could answer, Naruto answered first: "Like Kawaki, she is a cyborg, and several of her organs have been replaced by machines. If I guessed correctly, you should be too.

Is it the creation of Amado, the genius scientist from the Shell organization?"

"That's right, Ninja-sama. I was attacked by a bandit group on the road three years ago, and my life was hanging by a thread. It was Dr. Amado who saved my life." Chiho replied respectfully.

"Amado? Is he also in this tower now?" Upon hearing this familiar name, Kawaki's face instantly darkened.

"Yes, this is Dr. Amado's exclusive workstation in the Land of Fire." Chiho was not affected by Kawaki's murderous intent at all, and said calmly, "He has always hoped to be with you..."

"Ice Release? Prism!" Before Chiho could finish his words, Naruto suddenly formed a seal with his hands and blew out a breath of cold air above everyone. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a crystal clear ice prism. Then, a dazzling laser shot from

It shot out from the top of the tower and pointed directly at Naruto's head. Fortunately, the high-energy beam was refracted by the prism and deviated from the position of everyone, melting a big hole in the grass.

Others also reacted and started to fight back: Zoliana pulled out a huge Fuma Shuriken from her backpack with her left hand, attached a thick layer of Thunder Chakra, and threw it towards the light source;

Boruto's first reaction was similar to Sarana's, using "Wind Release? Gale Palm" to accelerate and throw a flying kunai; Konohamaru used the shuriken shadow clone technique to shoot more than twenty kunai from different angles.

Shuriken; Miyuki shaped the Thunder Release Chakra into a long snake and spurted it out from his mouth; finally Kawaki used the power of wedge to release a black rod that condensed the power of the outsiders.

"That's enough." Naruto's eyes flashed with white light, and everyone's attacks stopped in mid-air, neither continuing to rise nor falling. He calmly took out a weapon with the Flying Thunder God Technique printed on it.

The kunai was thrown towards the top of the tower. A large ink-colored net composed of runes was released from the tip of the kunai, wrapping the unprepared attacker into it, and then teleported her in front of Naruto.

The attacker was a beautiful woman with blond curly hair and high heels. Her beautiful green eyes showed deep resentment, as if she wanted to eat Naruto's flesh raw. But her whole body was tightly sealed by Naruto.

He was tied up tightly and could only kneel on the ground in embarrassment.

"Why did you suddenly attack us?" Naruto slowly walked up to the attacker, leaned over and asked.

"She is Diluda! She broke into Konoha Village last time, and

Dad handed me over once. Kawaki's right arm was burned by her laser when she was saving Xiaokui!" Boruto shouted indignantly, "Obviously she was forced to self-destruct by dad last time, but I didn't expect this.

He was actually resurrected this time."

"It's not surprising at all. Her body is completely made up of scientific ninja tools. It is very similar to Boluo's body." Naruto tore off her clothes without mercy and pointed to a piece on her back.

Triangular piece, "I can feel that her soul resides in it. The last time she blew herself up in front of the Hokage, it was probably a cover to transfer this core in the chaos. You just said that Kawaki and Xiaokui are

What's going on?"

Boruto glanced at Kawaki's missing right arm and said with hatred: "Diluda was at a disadvantage in the battle with her father. In order to win, she aimed a destructive laser at Xiaokui, forcing her father to use his body to fight for it.

She resisted damage. Her laser could inhibit Dad's regeneration ability. Kawaki didn't want to see Dad injured, so he helped Dad and Xiaokui offset the attack at the expense of his modified right arm."

"That's it." Naruto reached out and pinched Diluda's chin, squinting at the latter's delicate and pretty face, "Originally, I planned to pry out some information from her mouth, but now it seems that there is no such thing.

This is necessary.”

"Perish."

As his words fell, Diluda's body immediately began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye. After only ten seconds, the originally bright and beautiful simulated body shrank into a ball of vermilion rust.

"Thank you, Kawaki." Naruto threw the rust on the ground and solemnly said to the black-haired boy, "I will always owe you a favor."

"The Seventh Generation said to me that it is natural for friends to help each other." Kawaki replied calmly.

When Naruto heard Kawaki's answer, a sunny smile appeared on his face, and then he turned his gaze to Sarutobi Chiho, who had been watching silently, "Is this your sincerity, Lord Governor?"

"The conflict between Diluda and Dr. Amado has always been deep. Her actions must not have been approved by Dr. Amado, Ninja-sama."

"Chiho is right, Naruto-kun." The middle-aged white-haired man wearing black-rimmed glasses stepped on a suspended white disk and slowly descended from the top of the tower to the ground. "Diluda has always been an idiot.

.She neither knows how to recognize the situation nor respect the strong."

"Then you must be a smart man, Doctor?" Naruto waved his hand, sinking Diluda's remains into the earth, and said in a playful tone, "As a smart man, Doctor must know what we want most.

Something?"

"Haha, of course." Amado took out an A4 paper filled with text from his backpack and handed it into the hands of the blond boy, "You can take a look at this first."

"Oh?" Naruto took the file and read it at a glance.

This document is a contract about voluntarily becoming a human experimental subject. It lists in detail the various damages and risks that the experimental subjects may suffer, confidentiality clauses, and a basic remuneration of 500,000 taels and 200,000 yuan promised to each experimenter.

One million taels of life compensation - even accounting for inflation, this is enough to be worth Naruto's reward for an S-level mission.

"As expected, all those lost people fell into your hands." Naruto's blue eyes looked directly into Amado's pupils.

"You can send someone to check now, Naruto-kun. Every penny of the reward we promised will be absolutely 100% handed over to every relative of the experimental subject, and it will definitely be a voluntary transaction." Amado said calmly.

replied.

"How many experimental subjects have you recruited in total? How many are still alive now?" Naruto asked calmly as he passed the document in his hand to his companions to circulate to each other.

"There were a total of sixty-three subjects who voluntarily accepted the experiment, and fifteen of them failed to survive the moment of successful transformation."

Naruto closed his eyes and mourned for half a minute for the experimental subjects who unfortunately died, and then said softly: "I understand, doctor. Thank you for telling the truth."

"After all, you helped me get rid of Ci Xian." Amado took out his lighter and lit a cigarette for himself, "Let me tell the truth. I manipulated the crew on the mine car to poison your son's cup.

That person is Ci Xian. His original intention was to capture Boruto alive, but your appearance made him change his mind."

"This kind of thing is not difficult to guess, doctor." Naruto crossed his arms and said, "It's a bit inappropriate to use it as a bargaining chip in exchange, isn't it?"

"Haha, what are Naruto-kun's conditions?" Amado chuckled.

"First, all scientific research projects that violate the regulations of Konoha Village must be stopped immediately; second, all your scientific research results must be shared with Konoha. Correspondingly, Konoha and the Country of Fire will provide special financial support every year. You must not

Accept donations other than those from Konoha and Fire Country officials; third, all your activities in the future will comply with the confidentiality regulations of Konoha Anbu and shall not be disclosed without the approval of the Hokage; fourth, all your research groups in the future must have wood

For the participation of leaf ninjas, all projects must be approved by the Hokage himself; fifthly, all your scientific research sites will be taken over by Konoha, starting from this tower." At this point, Naruto paused for a while and looked at it.

Looking at the missing right arm of the black-haired boy, "In addition, you must hand over the detailed records of Kawaki's body modification, and I will reattach his severed limb."

"Oh, I didn't expect you, Naruto-kun, to know medical skills?" Amado raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Do you agree to these conditions or not?" Naruto asked straightforwardly.

"Promise, promise." Amado expressed his stance quickly, "The terms you offered are quite generous, Naruto-kun."

"In this case, it won't be too late to release the people in this tower when the Hokage personally comes to take over." Naruto threw a kunai to the top of the tower, then turned on the fairy fox mode and activated

The stasis barrier was formed. A black curtain of time emerged from the tip of the kunai, covering the entire tower. "As for you, doctor, please come back to the village with us to recover."

"Okay, Naruto-kun." Amado nodded calmly, letting Naruto wrap himself in a chakra coat and disappear into a golden light.
