-How is it ilusion? - Boruto asked
"This bastard wants to buy as much time as possible to get to the divine fruit and eat it," said Kawaki
"Kawaki is right," Koji agreed
- Then we need to find the real one as soon as possible.
As the group moved towards the Divine Tree, Tarizo's illusions appeared before them shortly after, this time there were many more.
-This time there were a lot of them
-Let's ignore them, for sure they won't be able to threaten us. - Toneri said
To his surprise, Tarizo's illusions fired bolts of energy at the group
-What?
Boruto, Kawaki deflected them, Kanshin Koji avoided just like Toneri, while Kira and Kirana created a barrier in front of them that protected them.
-So we have to destroy them to let us pass. - "Kage Bushin No Jutsu!" - Boruto created a dozen of his clones with which he set off to attack Tarizo's copies.
Kawaki joined him, destroying one by one. When they dealt with them, they ran towards the Divine Tree, which they reached some time later, Tarizo was waiting for them there.
-So you made it here, I'm pleasantly surprised.
-That's the end of Tarizo, we've come to stop you. - Boruto announced
-Really? Well, I must disappoint you because I am not going to give up on my plan. - Tarizo said, taking the fruit from under the coat
-So he already has it
-Stand!
With a wave of his hand, Tarizo threw Boruto and the rest back a few meters, then ate the Divine Chakra Fruit. When he did, there was a strong shock and Tarizo's body shone with a bright light.
"So it happened, not good," commented Toneri
When the light was gone, Tarizo's new look was revealed (his hair grew longer and glowed white, a white shiny coat appeared, a golden halo appeared behind his back, and a scepter in his hand)
-Finally, I died mortal to be reborn as a god!
