Momoshiki Otsutsuki's Vessel,

Boruto Uzumaki, eh?

We haven't met before.

I'm Code.

I worship the Otsutsuki and have inherited their grand will.

You've inherited who's what?

You're just an underling.

Sorry, I'm not interested in that.

To be absolutely honest...

I revere you.

Huh?

The Otsutsuki are the objects of my devotion.

They're equivalent to gods, after all.

That's all the more reason why it pains me...

that I have to feed you to Ten Tails

as a sacrifice to cultivate the Divine Tree...

For a devout follower like me,

this is an extremely unpleasant task.

Oh, yeah?

Not to point out the obvious,

but I've got no interest in letting that happen to me!

Could you just forget about this and go home?

I couldn't do that.

Without anyone interfering, this is the perfect opportunity...

to test your quality...

as the intended sacrifice.

Get out of here, Boruto!

You have no chance of defeating him!

Don't you get it?!

He doesn't seem like the type to let me get away.

Besides, even if we ran away, what good would that do?

Also, I don't like to make assumptions

about someone I've just met...

but I think it's safe to say he's a psycho

who won't listen to anything I tell him.

Let's take care of him before Dad gets here!

HORSE

SNAKE

DOG

It's no good, I can't find him!

We've searched the Village

and extended our range to the surrounding areas,

but there's no sign of Kawaki.

Could you expand your sensory perimeter just a little more?

If we can't find him after all this searching,

DOG

we should consider the possibility

that he might have erased his chakra in some way.

Erased his chakra?

How would he do that?

Earlier, I sensed that he left the house!

Boruto!

Where in the world did Kawaki go?

Nishi! Where's Boruto right now?

I need to talk to him.

Uh, yes, sir!

Huh?!

Umm... I'm sorry!

What is it? What's the matter?

Well... It seems he's nowhere nearby.

Huh?!

So, that's the ability I've heard about!

Behind you!

Lightning Style...

Thunderclap Arrow!

Damn it! Those things again?!

I see...

You prepared a Shadow Clone transformed into a shuriken

ahead of time.

How interesting. Fighting a ninja is fun.

However...

You're not very good at using this.

A white... Karma?!

This is bad!

He's no match at all!

Of course, he isn't! I already knew that!

Do you know why you suddenly get stronger

when you activate Karma?

Increased power and speed from improved physical ability...

is certainly a major factor, but honestly...

that alone wouldn't result in

such an exponential jump in battle strength.

With Karma's true essence...

the real reason lies elsewhere.

Karma's... true essence?!

It's the Otsutsuki's combat experience

accumulated over their long lifespan...

Overlaid upon your own experience...

That's why you get stronger.

In other words...

you can instantly become an experienced warrior.

If you're able to draw on the Karma properly, that is.

Show it to me.

I know that's not the extent of...

...Momoshiki's Otsutsuki's power!

Boruto!

That's right.

That's what I'm talking about.

That's what I want to see.

You bastard!

How dare you come out again!

You've finally shown yourself...

But when I think about it, it's strange.

You're still nothing but a simple Vessel

that hasn't been revived yet,

so why does Momoshiki's consciousness

emerge to this degree?

You're...!

Kawaki, move back a little.

It's not safe.

I see, he's strong!

Damn it!

What?!

Damn it... Such an annoying ability, ya know!

Boruto's movements are different from before!

But he's retained his consciousness.

When did he manage that?!

What's going on?

Maybe it's an effect of Amado's meds?

I don't know for sure what's happening inside of Boruto's body...

But at the very least,

it seems he's now able to channel Momoshiki's power

without his mind getting taken over like before.

Meds, huh?

It might be best if you don't write him off.

It wouldn't be funny...

if you were defeated before you regained your true strength.

HORSE

What? Boruto's chakra?!

That's right. Forget about Kawaki for now.

I want everyone to search for Boruto's chakra and find him.

A few dozen kilometers outside the Village.

Hurry!

I'll be going to back up Ino from here.

This was all my fault, after all.

Don't worry about it.

More importantly, focus on finding Boruto.

Kawaki will most likely be there too.

Worst case, the enemy will also be with them.

That bastard Code may have already tracked Kawaki down.

If we're unlucky, he might already be dead.

You no longer have Kurama's powers.

If I stand by and let you go alone, it would be suicide.

Even so, I can't abandon the kids!

I know I can't stop you.

How many years do you think I've been with you?

I'm going with you.

At the moment, I'm the only person around who's free.

Shikamaru...

I'm well aware of the danger.

Don't argue with me. It's a drag.

Just be grateful we're not stopping you.

As soon as we locate Boruto, we'll head out.

Naruto!

Hinata!

I'm going too!

I can't just stay still!

Don't be ridiculous!

If something happens to you, what will happen to Hima?

Please, stay here!

But...

Hinata, I understand how you feel,

but don't make this difficult for Naruto.

Please do as he says for me.

Mommy...

Hima...

Everything will be okay, right, Daddy?

You'll bring Big Brother and Kawaki back with you safely, right?

Of course, I will.

Have you forgotten who your dad is?

Looks like I can't absorb these Claw Marks.

They're mostly physically manifested chakra,

but there's iron mixed in from his blood,

forming them into a composite material.

In other words, those Claw Marks can be considered physical matter.

So, you can't absorb it with your Karma!

Be careful!

How can you say stuff like that so easily?

That aside, what's this state you're in?

Where did that bastard Momoshiki go?

I don't know whether it's the effects of the meds or what.

This is the first time this has happened to me, after all.

I can't believe you're relying on those unreliable meds!

You better not lose control suddenly!

Worry about that later.

Get ready, Kawaki.

If we take down the guy standing in front of us,

that'll solve your worries and everything else, right?

Those meds that you got from Amado...

Whatever their effect, Momoshiki's not actually gone.

You're still an Otsutsuki... now and forever.

How does he know about the meds?!

Yeah... I've been wondering about that.

Personally, I don't care whether you're Boruto or Momoshiki.

As long as I can feed you to the Ten Tails

to cultivate the Divine Tree.

Also, there are no issues with your quality.

You'll be a top-notch sacrifice.

There's no way I'm gonna let that happen.

It's only a matter of time before you become a complete Otsutsuki.

When you reach your peak and become the perfect sacrifice...

I'll be back for you.

Shall we get going, Kawaki?

She's waiting.

Not gonna happen!

Hey, Kawaki!

Finally decided to do this, eh?!

What do you think you're doing, Kawaki?

I thought you agreed to come with me.

Don't get the wrong idea.

From the beginning, everything I've done and do...

is for Lord Seventh!

Isn't it obvious?

If we just take you down,

that would be the fastest and easiest way.

Both of you are so annoying.

I hate that.

Fine.

Let me make this clear.

It will go better if you just obey me.

Is that all you have to say?

Bring it on.

Let's settle this.

Found him! It's Boruto!

To the North-West, roughly 40 kilometers from here!

And there's someone else.

Someone whose chakra I don't recognize.

Is it Code?! Damn it!

Ino, are you there?

We know where Boruto is!

Naruto and I will be heading there now.

The enemy can appear and disappear as he pleases.

Keep the entire village on high alert.

Understood!

Be careful, Shikamaru!

All right! Let's go!

Naruto, you can't maintain Sage Mode for very long, right?

How long can you currently hold out?

Don't worry about it.

In fact, I can maintain it far longer than before.

Let's just call it the wisdom of age.

Let's hurry!

What wisdom of age?

Listen, don't overdo it, Naruto!

Yeah, I know.

This is... a Vanishing Rasengan!

Damn it, he got away!

Did you just say that Kawaki's already encountered Code?!

How do you know?

We've confirmed an unidentified chakra present with Boruto.

Judging by the state of their chakra,

we're fairly certain they're fighting.

There's no one it could be aside from Code, right?

He shouldn't have any sensory abilities.

This is happening way too fast.

How in the world did he find Kawaki?

Maybe someone was working with him?

Like a brand-new Outer?

I don't deny that possibility...

But as far as I know, there aren't any Outers who are that skilled.

Whatever the case,

we should consider his appearance an opportunity.

We struggled to find him, after all.

Lord Seventh is already headed there.

If we can successfully deal with Code,

the existence of an ally won't even matter.

Are you listening?

Are your ears plugged up with wax or something?

Damn it, this wasn't supposed to happen...

I'm counting on you, Kawaki.

We've come this far.

Don't mess this up.

That was a close one.

A Vanishing Rasengan, huh?

I'll have to watch out for those.

Close one? Get it together, idiot!

What are you doing?!

It must be tough pretending to be so confident, Code!

Where's your drive from earlier?

Kawaki, let's hit him with everything we've got!

Yeah!

Right into his cowardly face!

Hey! Boruto!

Damn it... Is it a side effect of those meds?!

What? What's happening—!

Halting Karmic extraction with some trifling medicine

is no more than a stopgap measure.

Hey... foolish face.

You bastard!

Momoshiki!

It's no good...

I can't move!

It's not because I used up all of my strength or chakra...

This sensation... like time itself has stopped...

It's like that day!

Right after I took down Momoshiki, when he implanted a Karma into me!

The remaining dregs of Kara.

If I'm not mistaken, he's in charge of managing

the seedling of the Divine Tree, the Ten Tails.

Perhaps I should take this chance to kill him.

Switch with me, boy.

Momoshiki!

Rasengan.

Control

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

How could this happen?!

What can I do?

The way that I am now...

I want more...

and more...

power!

I want more power...

to protect Lord Seventh!
