Boruto, panting, looked around but didn't see anyone.

Sarada and Yu were a little tired, and after running around, their thoughts had already moved past their earlier doubts.

"It seems this mission will be easy."

task?

After the sudden sound, a figure appeared on the wooden stake.

The ground beneath him trembled slightly.

Then one by one, figures emerged from the ground, without headbands and dressed plainly.

This scene made Sarada and the other two exchange glances. They weren't stupid, so they immediately formed a triangular formation.

Back to back, Yu said in a low voice, "Immediately notify Little Nine-Tailed Fox. This doesn't seem like an assessment formation."

Boruto tapped his bracelet, but then exhaled, "It's blocked. Looks like you were right, something unexpected happened. But I'm curious, who would dare to make a move in Konoha?"

Sarada, on the other side, had already taken out a kunai: "There are clear regulations for the use of shielding barriers in Konoha, but we don't know if the other side has made any preparations to report it. If they have, we can only rely on ourselves."

At this moment, the middle-aged bearded man standing on the wooden stake said, "You three brats, are you done talking? So, are you going to surrender now, or wait for me to break your limbs before taking you away?"

Yu remained wary of the other party: "Perhaps you think that with sufficient preparation, you can deceive my father? Heh... You are very bold, but I wonder if your life is as lucky as that."

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly and set down on the wooden stake.

Reach out and wave...

The next moment, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky.

"boom!!"

"what!!"

A scream rang out as Uchiha Yu, struck by lightning, collapsed to the ground.

There was no way to dodge it. The opponent didn't even make any hand seals; he simply waved his hand, and the lightning struck.

"feather!!"

Sarada reached out and placed her hand on Yu's chest. Strands of lightning spilled out, causing his body to tremble slightly, but he dared not let go of her hand.

Boruto was responsible for keeping watch, but he knew perfectly well that he was useless against such power.

Now, the only thing we can rely on is the Nine-Tails, whose location has been given to us. With the power of a tailed beast, it should be able to hold off the enemy.

If they can stall for time, they will be rescued once the village realizes what's happening.

"You're not our Jonin instructor, so who are you?"

The middle-aged man with the big beard smiled, and the surrounding enemies further tightened their encirclement.

"If you're talking about that good-for-nothing, then I regret to inform you that he's dead."

"If we didn't do this, how could we have tricked you into coming to this already-registered location? This is a newly developed ninjutsu experiment, and to prevent noise pollution, we have requested to activate a two-hour noise barrier."

"What do you think of this reporting process? Do you think you can last two hours?"

Upon hearing this, Boruto's heart sank to the ground. Two hours—if it were just the three of them, they probably wouldn't even last ten minutes!

Lord Nine-Tailed Fox, it's been so long since you arrived...

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Sarada, who was still treating Yu. In any case, he could only hold on for now and at least wait until the little Nine-Tails arrived!

“You are taking a huge risk by targeting us. You should be aware of the consequences of Uncle Yun’s anger.”

The other person still had the same stiff smile.

“Uchiha Yun… no one is unaware of his power, but that's only if he can find us, isn't it?”

"The strongest ninja in the world, and the only one in Konoha who can provide the technology for immortality without being restricted. Immortality... no one can resist its allure, can they?"

Changsheng Technology...

Boruto frowned, and Sarada, who was behind him, took out a syringe and gave Yu a shot.

"Three minutes!"

"understood."

……

Chapter 462: Itachi'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 under the lure of 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 gone through the illusionary cycle of the clouds, Boruto was 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 keep putting it off?"

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

Without warning, another bolt of lightning struck!

"what!!"

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 bearded man: "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.

Sarada!

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.

"boom!"

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 easily recovered.

"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 them 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 should I 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 prepare much to begin with.

"Your target... shouldn't be me, right?"

At this moment, Uchiha Yu stood up tremblingly, looked at the other party and continued, "That attack just now, you were calculating 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 be fully prepared with 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 and said, "There's still plenty of time. Giving you a chance to delay is pointless. You guessed right, the target has always been you, the only offspring 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 thinking about what my dad meant by protection. It wasn't until just now, when I was being protected at the risk of my life, that I understood a little bit about it."

"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.

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