Previous chapter had 85 follows, 76 faves and 10 reviews. Now I have 118 follows, 106 faves and 15 reviews. That means I got 33 follows, 30 faves and 5 reviews!
Naruto in my story is roughly 18 or 19 (he only ages compared to his own world) so he is not actually that much older than Sumire and Sarada age group (who are aged to 16 instead of 15). Just want to point that out to be clear for the story.
AN1: Yeah I know I put Sarada and her group age as 15 in chapter 1. I decided to make them 16 for the story starting in the later chapters. It just works better in mind for how I want the story to go. Just assume in this world that Sarada, Boruto and Sumire just turned 13 before Boruto left and then the 3 year gap.
Like the rest of the story this was created after chapter 13 so events like chapter 14 onwards are not honoured in this story. Call the ripple effect. Also, before people complain Code is definitely gone gone. He doesn't get a redemption arc (I se a lot of people on Twitter saying he should get one in the Boruto manga but not here).
Chapter 4 Code is finally gone
"Now let us start with 'Naruto Uzumaki'. Why are you here?" Shikamaru started as the group looked at Naruto who raised an eyebrow.
"Wow that is hurtful. 'Shikamaru'. Just because I am not YOUR Naruto doesn't mean I am not Naruto Uzumaki. I should bring you to my world and see how it feels my 'buddy'." Naruto retorted in rather childish tone as he crossed his arms as he used air quotes in the same way as Shikamaru did.
Shikamaru and Konohamaru slapped their heads with their palms showing how annoying Naruto was being. Himawari giggled finding it rather funny while Kawaki looked at Naruto in disbelief. Sumire and Sarada snorted before a slight giggle appeared out mouths. Daemon just gave a wide grin while Ada looked at Naruto intently with a frown.
"Well, I guess you are Naruto from some other reality as only he would be this annoying while in technically enemy territory." Shikamaru relented only for Naruto to put his hand up.
"Going to clarify something here Lord 8th. Just because I didn't grow up in this world doesn't mean I consider Konoha my enemy. I still consider you, my allies. I already told you that my life up to the end of the 4th Great Ninja war was nearly identical to my counterpart here besides a few differences. One big one is the power that actually allowed me to travel to this world which in itself is pretty much a mirror of my world." Naruto firmly.
He seemed to validate this by creating a One tailed 'Version 1' cloak from Kurama's chakra which instinctively made Himawari form her own One Tailed cloak but unlike Kurama Mode didn't age up her body. He released the chakra as he gave Himawari a nod who took a deep breath allowing the chakra to recede back into her body.
"That certainly proves you are Kyubi Jinchuriki but that does raise the question how Himawari has Kyubi chakra as in this world the Kyubi died 3 years ago." Shikamaru noted as he rested his chin on his folded palms with his elbows resting on the Hokage table.
"Kurama." Himawari and Naruto stated instinctively showing a protective urge to use their tailed Beasts name.
"Why does that matter? They are Tailed Beasts which are masses of chakra just not quite as revolting as those Sentient God Trees." Kawaki scoffed as even Ada gave him a surprised look at how cold he sounded.
Naruto raised a hand when Himawari looked ready to say something as he turned to Kawaki with a frown.
"I guess then you don't mind if I just call you Mr. Otsutsuki right? If it doesn't matter what your name is and it only matters WHAT you are rather than WHO you are." Naruto pointed out as Kawaki looked ready to slug Naruto in the face.
Only for Kawaki and Naruto to hear Konohamaru crack his fists as he looked ready to make hand signs.
"That's enough. If you don't start to restrain you both. Even you Kawaki need to learn how to at least pretend to be polite." Konohamaru warned as Naruto nodded and Kawaki frowned and just crossed his arms.
"Anyways. Tailed Beasts unlike even Otsutsuki can revive themselves if they are ever killed. Not even using Baryon Mode can truly kill Tailed Beasts. It just usually takes hundreds if not thousands of years to revive themselves from such a state. The reason Himawari herself is a Jinchuriki is likely because she has trace amounts of Kurama chakra from being born from Naruto or possibly due to her lineage of being both Uzumaki and Hyuga clan. Either way her body acted essentially as a beacon for Kurama to latch onto and regenerate over time." Naruto informed the group as Himawari nodded.
"That is what Kurama told me too before I fought that really strong God Tree but I was powerless even with Kurama power once he got serious." Himawari confirmed as she placed a hand on her stomach for a moment.
Shikamaru and Konohamaru exchanged a look as Shikamaru looked interest.
"This does certainly make sense. Intel from Kumo during the 4th Ninja Report does support the idea of Tailed Beasts reviving themselves if they are killed inside of a Jinchuriki." Shikamaru noted as Sarada and Sumire turned to Himawari with curious expressions.
"Not that I agreed with Lord 4th Raikage suggestion to kill Killer Bee let alone Naruto to buy time for Obito to not have the ingredients for Ten-Tails revival of course. Not that it would have mattered since Obito already had backup and if we went with Raikage A's suggestion we would have lost the war even before Ten-Tails revival without Naruto's power." Shikamaru mumbled but Naruto's smirk showed he heard what he mumbled.
"How does it feel being a… Jinchuriki? Is it weird to have another being inside of you?" Sarada asked excitedly as Himawari tilted her head as she looked contemplative.
"I dunno if it's supposed to be different but for me Kurama has been nothing but helpful. He is like having a friend you can talk to whenever you want to." Himawari tried to explain as Naruto had a soft smile.
"A tailed Beast who works with a Jinchuriki is like having family who is always there for you. You won't find a better ally anywhere in the world. Kurama inside of your Naruto must have truly loved him to be willing to put himself through Baryon Mode as that mode destroys them more completely then simply dying inside of a Jinchuriki." Naruto elaborated as Himawari eyes widened as she looked at her stomach.
'Is that true Kurama? Did you really care that much about Papa to be wiling to put yourself through so much pain?' Himawari asked her tailed beast.
"Tch. I guess that Naruto can speak from experience having a me inside of him. I suppose in human terms love was what I experienced within Naruto. However, don't mistake me being inside of you as my second choice. My time inside of Naruto is over and I am happy to be inside of you." Himawari Kurama added with a sigh.
Himawari felt her face turn into a massive smile at her Kurama declaration.
"This is simply talking to your Tailed Beast on good terms. I can do it as Kurama and I are a two-man team after all." Naruto declared as Shikamaru couldn't help but smile.
'That is probably how Naruto was able to share Kyubi chakra with all of us back then. Him and Kurama being partners meant they could regulate unstable Tailed Beast chakra and modify so non Jinchuriki could safely use it to enhance pour powers.' Shikamaru thought.
Konohamaru clapped his hands before he glared briefly at the unconscious Boruto,
"This is certainly instructive but the real question is what to do with the traitor Boruto? He is much stronger than we expected after 3 years away from the village but nonetheless he is weakened at the moment." Konohamaru asked bluntly as he looked around the room.
"We kill him after extracting all the intel he has on Code and those stupid Trees." Kawaki stated flatly with a determined look.
Sarada and Sumire walked up to him with fire in their eyes.
"Just because you have a problem with Boruto doesn't change the fact, we are still alive because of him Kawaki. If it wasn't for Boruto, Code and the God Trees would have wrecked much more havoc in the village! Heck I and Hima-chan would have consumed by those Trees by now!" Sarada yelled passionately as she resisted the urge to glare into Kawaki's uncaring eyes with her Three Tomoe Sharingan.
Konohamaru frowned at both of his students seemingly refusing to take sides but his side glare at Boruto showed his intense dislike of the young man.
"Lord 8th? I know the idea of killing Boruto might be… distasteful…. But we do have to consider what will happen if we let him go after the intel is given." Konohamaru noted carefully raising a hand when Sarada and Sumire by instinct.
"Sigh…. Let us not think too much about it right now. For now, the enemies have retreated and that is what is important. We also have to think of what to do with this Naruto. He seems to be an ally for now and he could be helpful to deal with the situation right now." Shikamaru noted looking at Naruto with a careful expression.
"We are not killing Boruto! He needs at least a trial! That is what Lord 7th would want!" Sarada insisted as Konohamaru had a pained expression while Kawaki glared at her.
"No matter what Boruto has done it cannot change the fact Lord 7th is gone because of him. The only way he can repay his debt is by dying. The only difference is whether I cut off his limbs first before his head or not." Kawaki insisted darkly as Sarada and Sumire glared at him. Konohamaru closed his eyes and crossed his arms while Himawari looked at Naruto with pleading eyes.
Shikamaru noticed Himawari expression and coughed getting everyone attention.
"Naruto. I meant it when I invited you as a guest. What do you think we should do?" Shikamaru asked resting on his palms looking at Naruto.
Naruto looked around and closed his eyes for a moment before he tapped his chin.
"Please send Kakashi-Sensei …. Oh I guess Lord 6th here. There is something I want to show you and it would be best for someone like him to confirm it. After all He of all people would know what this power is and confirm its really that." Naruto stated as Shikamaru eyes raised for a moment before he nodded.
"I suppose if I do trust you for now then Kakashi-Sensei would be safe to have around." Shikamaru decided as he was about to summon a Shadow Clone but Naruto beat him to it.
Naruto instantly created as a Shadow Clone whose right eye turned the Mangekyō Sharingan form of Obito Uchiha. They nodded to each other as the Shadow Clone right eye pulsated and he got sucked into a portal and swirled away much to everyone surprise.
"Was that Time-Space Jutsu? I am guessing you are using some form to track and bring back Kakashi-Sensei here instantly?" Shikamaru guessed as Naruto smiled and nodded.
"A very Special Time-Space Jutsu. One that Kakashi-Sensei will be very familiar with." Naruto commented as he stretched his arms above his head.
"Its not the same one that Otsutsuki use though. That one isn't really my style. Hehe I can't wait to see the look of Kakashi Sensei oops… I mean Lord 6th face when he sees what the Jutsu is. I still have that habit where I am a motor mouth just like Mom was so if I get a chance I just keep talking even if people are looking at me weirdly." Naruto commented having closed his eyes and opened them to reveal his blue eyes looking amused.
"Um Papa? You are rambling again and people are looking at you weirdly." Himawari pointed out with giggle.
Naruto stopped mid rant before he grinned back walking up to Himawari to play with her long hair making her giggle as he tickled her forehead at the same time. Sumire and Sarada smiled at the interaction between Uzumaki, Konohamaru looked uncertain at the playful smiles they sent each other, Shikamaru had a small smile behind his hands and Kawaki was growling and clenching his hand.
Daemon was just looking at Naruto with interest and Himawari with interest and confusion while Ada kept a stoic expression but kept looking into Naruto's direction.
Then a ripple appeared as Naruto's clone and Kakashi Hatake appeared in a swirl. Naruto clone nodded to Naruto and Kakashi before vanishing in a puff of smoke. Everyone except Kawaki, Dameon and Ada sent Kakashi a bow being the former Hokage with even Naruto himself giving a bow of his head.
"Naruto…. Is that really you?" Kakashi asked with his both eyes wide in awe and full of hope.
"….. Sorry Kakashi-Sensei… Oops I mean Lord 6th. I keep doing that. I mean the Kakashi-Sensei I know doesn't mind but it still the proper way to refer to you… I am not the 'Naruto' you know but I am assuming the relationship you had with the 'Naruto' you had is pretty close to the Kakashi-Sensei I know." Naruto replied sadly before rubbing his head with a nervous grin as he closed his eyes.
'He is just like Kushina-Sama and Minato-Sensei. At his core he really is like Naruto that I know.' Kakashi noted as an imagine of Minato smiling and Kushina rubbing her head in the exact same way as her son appeared next to Naruto in his mind.
"I did heal the Kakashi-Sensei eye like he did with you after all. Sakura-chan was so surprised when I healed your or rather other version of you eyes! Hehe I still think she didn't know how I did it despite me explaining how I did it!" Naruto stated smugly as he crossed his arms and grinned happily.
Kakashi mentally sweatdropped as he remembered that scene.
'Yeah, you said something about taking a part of me and using that to recreate the eye. I am not surprised Sakura didn't understand. It doesn't sound like you or Naruto in general understand how it works.' Kakashi fought drily but kept his normal smile on his face.
Sarada looked like she was going to ask but Shikamaru raised his hand up.
"That is not important right now." Shikamaru stated dismissively before his eyes narrowed.
"What is it that you wanted to confirm with Lord 6th that needed him? All it seems so far is you reminiscing about shared experiences between the Naruto and Kakashi of each world. That is hardly something you need the Former Hokage here to ask in person." Shikamaru added sharply.
Kakashi nodded towards Naruto with a questioning look who smirked as he walked away from Himawari to walk towards the corner of the room. Naruto was now facing everyone who could see his face.
"I just wanted Kakashi-Sensei here to confirm THIS! He should know it better then anyone else after all. He did have it at one point for quite some time." Naruto stated as he closed his eyes and opened them.
Everyone gasped when his right eye was revealed to be the right Mangekyō Sharingan of Obito Uchiha and his left eye was a purple Rinnegan with three sets of Tomoe in the three inner most rings showing 9 tomoe in general.
"That is Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan! I thought your clone was using Kamui but I couldn't be sure until I saw it in your eye!" Kakashi shouted in shock as he by instinct put a hand over his left eye which les then 20 years ago was the left eye of Obito Uchiha.
"You are just like Papa! He had a Mangekyō Sharingan in one eye and what he called the 'Rinnegan' in his other eye!" Sarada shouted as well with her eyes wide. She even briefly had her own Three Tomoe Sharingan active before they returned to normal.
'That wasn't a Genjutsu! They are genuine Dojutsu like Papa and me!' Sarada thought in realization.
"How do you have those eyes? If you are a 'Naruto-Nii-Chan' from another world you should have the same basic powers as Lord 7th! He never manifested even a single Sharingan let alone Mangekyō Sharingan or Rinnegan in his eyes!" Konohamaru demanded to know as he sat up with an angered expression.
Sumire bit her lip as she resisted blushing.
'Bad Sumire! He is a stranger not a handsome guy who is oozing power!' Sumire chided herself.
Shikamaru raised a hand and sent a look at Konohamaru who frowned but sat down with his arms crossed. Kawaki growled as he clenched his hands but kept his anger in check. Himawari surprisingly did not seem surprised at all as she was told ahead of time by Naruto before. Daemon and Ada raised an eyebrow at the reveal of Naruto's Dojutsu.
"Oh? Some real fancy looking eyes you have 'not 7th Hokage' Naruto Uzumaki." Daemon chuckled as he grinned at the challenge the eyes presented.
"Interesting. That is another difference between you and the 7th Hokage." Ada added as she continued to gaze at Naruto with her emotionless face.
"Kakashi-Sensei. These are not implants. You of all people should know implants of Sharingan and Rinnegan cannot be activated and deactivated freely." Naruto told Kakashi firmly as he blinked turning his eyes to their Sky-Blue before activating them again to prove his point.
Kakashi slowly nodded as he closed his left eye with his left hand almost by instinct.
"That's true. Non-Uchiha cannot deactivate a Sharingan and from what we concluded Nagato could not deactivate his Rinnegan as they were implants from Madara Uchiha." Kakashi agreed as after the 4th Ninja War Konoha and Sasuke went to great lengths to research the connection between Madara and Nagato eyes.
Shikamaru turned to Naruto with sharp eyes as he frowned.
"That doesn't explain How you awakened them though. Even if they are truly your eyes like they are with Sasuke's there is no evidence that Naruto Uzumaki could awaken them as you do not have Uchiha blood inside of you." Shikamaru pointed out as everyone looked at Naruto intently.
To everyone surprise except Himawari Naruto looked away with his Dojutsu active. He notably had a sad expression as he gently bit his bottom lip for a moment.
"That is something that is different for me then other versions of 'Naruto Uzumaki'. The power that let me travelled here and other worlds…. Lets say 'inserted' that power inside of me but I never could awaken until after the 4th Ninja War. So similar to your Naruto I did not have access to these powers while I fought beings like Obito, Madara and Kaguya. I had to rely on power that 'Naruto Uzumaki' would naturally awaken." Naruto explained as he briefly looked over his shoulder.
Kakashi blinked as he realized where Naruto was looking.
'He is looking over at the Konoha Memorial Stone! So, he is regretting that he did not have these powers to save people he cared about. He is just like me who lives with survivor's guilt.' Kakashi realized with sympathy filling his heart as he resisted the urge to hug the younger version of his student.
'If I had these eyes back then… So many people would not have had to…' Naruto thought as hundreds of faces blurred in his mind before Neji's understanding face stood out for him.
Himawari looked sadly at her Papa almost as if she could feel his sadness emitting from him. It was possible the Kurama inside of her was subconsciously giving her a weaker passive version of Negative Emotion Sensing.
One person in the room did not have any sympathy and if anything looked at Naruto with notable anger.
"Then you are nothing like Lord 7th. He had to work for his powers but here you with gifted eyes like Sarada and the Uchiha. You have not had to work for any of those powers. You are one of those people who are born lucky." Kawaki stated with a sneer.
"Kawaki! That is enough! Why would you say something like that?" Konohamaru asked in shock at his pseudo younger brother could be so blunt.
"Tch. The truth hurts Master Konohamaru. I am just willing to say it out loud." Kawaki replied uncaringly.
"Shut your mouth Kawaki. You have no idea what you are talking about." Sarada retorted as she glared at Kawaki who barely spared her a look.
Sumire grit her teeth while Himawari had to control her breathing from punching Kawaki in the face. Kakashi closed his eyes as he knew it was not his time to talk. Daemon was still looking at Naruto with interest while Ada barely resisted giving Kawaki a disappointed look.
"That is enough everyone! Such talk is not productive right now. What we need to do is decide what to do to get intel on our current circumstances." Shikamaru declared as Sarada gave him a stiff nod while Kawaki shrugged his shoulders.
Naruto sighed before he looked ever at Boruto.
"Then this is a perfect time to wake up Boruto. Anything I need to say to you all he deserves to know as well." Naruto declared as Konohamaru and Shikamaru looked at him in surprise.
Before anyone could react Naruto's right Mangekyō Sharingan swirled and activated as swirl appeared in the air in the middle of the room. From the swirl appeared a wooden table with a box of donuts that still appeared to hot and had a delicious scent.
"There something to bite on. Just a snack. A baker's dozen of 12." Naruto noted as he grabbed one that was white dusted and jelly filled judging by the small hole where a small trail of strawberry jelly could be seen leaking.
"It's not poisoned. I baked them myself before I left my world and they have stayed in perfect condition since then. Go ahead and help yourself. I have been told I have natural thumb for simple treats like this" Naruto added biting into the gooey treat to prove his point.
Without hesitation Himawari smiled as she walked over to grab a donut with chocolate dipping. She eagerly bit into it and gave out a soft moan much to Naruto's amusement.
"Thank you, Papa! You are right! You do have a natural thumb for baking! You could probably set up a shop in Konoha you are from and make a decent living just selling these!" Himawari chirped making Naruto laugh.
Naruto turned to Kawaki who looked caught up at glaring at him and licking his lips seeing the donuts with hunger.
"By the way. This is not donuts shrunk by Sukunahikona and retrieved by Daikokuten. Although like your Jutsu anything I store in mine also stays in pristine condition like food for example. It's very useful for travelling if I have it ready for long trips across worlds and dimensions." Naruto added rather matter of factly as he gestured to the donuts with a tilt of his head.
Sarada and Sumire bowed politely to Naruto and grabbed a plain donut with white frosting and a chocolate glazed one respectively. They bit into theirs and let out soft groans as well getting Naruto to beam at them.
"Always nice to have your cooking appreciated. The biggest compliment a baker or chef can have is to have people enjoy their product." Naruto stated dramatically getting an eye roll from Konohamaru and Shikamaru.
Ada licked her lips for a moment looking like she wanted one but held herself back while Daemon pouted but didn't take one either.
"That Jutsu… It is the long-range version of Kamui after all. It was the same as the short-range version of Kamui your clone used to bring me here in the first place." Kakashi added with a serious expression looking abit like he was feeling nostalgic.
Naruto smiled and nodded his looked at Kakashi with look of nostalgic before shaking his head.
"I knew you would recognize it Sensei… Err… Lord 6th…." Naruto amended awkwardly but Kakashi shook his head.
"It's fine if you call me Sensei like the Naruto I know does. I might not know you directly but I feel I can trust you. At your heart you are still my student as well." Kakashi told him warmly as he did his patented 'eye smile'.
This made Himawari smile happily as she could see Naruto almost tear up for a moment.
"However, I would like to know how you can use both the long range and short-range versions of Kamui when you are just using the right Mangekyō Sharingan? As each version is supposed to be linked to one eye?" Kakashi added with a sharp expression as both Shikamaru and Konohamaru blinked lloking at Naruto carefully.
Naruto turned to the adults with a serious expression in return as he crossed his arms. He showed his proficiency with Kamui as he wiped abit of jelly from his lip using his index finger. He then sent the jelly into Kamui's Dimension using a tiny ripple of Kamui just big enough to suck it up and nothing else.
"That is true… for Obito and his eyes. However, mine eyes are different. After I awoke the eyes as Rinnegan I discovered the Mangekyō Sharingan of either eye could use both versions of the Kamui at ill. I also could use the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan while it was in its Rinnegan state but I usually for simplicity use Mangekyō Sharingan abilities in the eye that is currently in its Mangekyō Sharingan state." Naruto explained.
He proved this as his right Mangekyō Sharingan transformed into a Rinnegan with the 9 tomoe spread through its inner three circles. He then transformed his left Rinnegan into a Mangekyō Sharingan form that resembled the shape of Obito Uchiha as well.
He then shifted his left Mangekyō Sharingan to look at Himawari who had cream at the edge of her mouth. He focused on the cream as a ripple appeared and 'sucked in' the cream at the edge of her mouth and sent it to the Kamui Dimension through a ripple.
Himawari blinked and giggled as she felt it was like a vacuum brushing against her face.
"Hehe that is quite a fun way to clean up Papa!" Himawari giggled making Naruto smile at her happily.
"See using Kamui in either eye is quite easy for me. I just like the visual effect of using Mangekyō Sharingan to use Kamui instead of using it while its in its Rinnegan form." Naruto winked leaving only his left Mangekyō Sharingan visible for a moment.
Kakashi did another eye smile as he relaxed his shoulder.
"Well, that proves that. He seems to be keeping his word and sharing information freely. He has my vote of confidence!" Kakashi commented brightly with a thumbs ups.
Konohamaru turned to Shikamaru with a frown and crossed his eyes.
"Still letting him wake up Boruto is still a risk Lord 8th." Konohamaru pointed out but Shikamaru shook his head.
"Its fine Konohamaru. I will take responsibility if something happens. Boruto is still restrained from using chakra at all and we have Daemon and Ada if something does happen." Shikamaru explained calmly.
"I will kill Boruto if he does do anything." Kawaki declared as Konohamaru frowned but nodded.
Ada turned to Kawaki with a neutral expression.
"Don't do anything rash Kawaki. I want to see where this goes." Ada warned as Kawaki looked at her and Daemon warily.
"Yeah Kawaki. We wouldn't want any accidents or unexpected surprises to happen, do we?" Daemon asked with a mocking smile.
Kawaki growled but bowed his head getting sighs of relief from Sarada and Sumire. Naruto looked over at Ada with a curious expression before nodding. Naruto walked over to Boruto whose arms were behind him as the special cuffs contained his chakra and bound his arms behind the chair. Naruto walked behind Boruto and placed a hand on his shoulder. He closed his eyes and using his other hand made a one-handed hand sign as the hand on Boruto shoulder glowed his yellow chakra.
After a moment Boruto groaned and woke up. He seemed to want to rub his head by instinct only to find his hands bound behind his back. Naruto had placed his hand off Boruto's shoulder by the time he woke up and stood against the wall. He looked at Sumire and placed a finger up to his finger and gave her a wink. Sumire smiled when she saw how amused he seemed and nodded quickly.
"I am healed? What happened to the enemy?" Boruto asked after blinking a few times to clear up his drowsiness.
"The enemy was driven off and so far, they have not made any attempts to re-enter the village. The sensory Corp is on Full Alert in case they enter range of the village again." Konohamaru told him as he looked at Boruto with a neutral expression.
Boruto turned to Konohamaru with a neutral expression in return before nodding.
"What about… everyone else Master Konohamaru?" Boruto asked before he looked around to see who was actually in the room. He could not turn around to see Naruto behind him but he could see everyone else making him raise his one lone eye up in surprise.
"Inojin wounds were serious but they were mostly healed by Himawari. He is currently being healed completely. He should be fine with rest. Everyone else wounds were fairly minor in comparison with neither Himawari or Sarada being consumed as you can see." Shikamaru informed him as he had his stoic 'Hokage look' on his face.
"That's good to hear Lord 8th. I am actually surprised so many people are here to see me get… interrogated?" Boruto asked looking around with his face turning softer when he saw Himawari, Sumire and Sarada.
"Lord 8th invited us….. The Village Elders were supposed to be here too but Ada and Lord 8th shooed them away so its just us here. Are you alright Boruto?" Sarada asked gently as she bit her lip softly.
'Brother…. You are okay… Sorry I can't hug you just yet with everyone else still under Kawaki control.' Himawari thought sorrowfully as she placed a worried expression on her face.
"Abit sore especially with my arms bound like this but I can't complain Sarada. You seem to be well though." Boruto replied with a small smile which made Sarada smile as well.
'It might be subtle but for a moment I saw the carefree Boruto before all this nonsense with the world turning on him. It's nice to see Boruto.' Sarada thought happily.
Unfortunately, Kawaki showed his own sass as he stared at Boruto with distaste.
"You should be glad your arms are the only thing being restrained right now Boruto. If it was up to me, you would have my rods shoved into you limbs so you couldn't get away but Lord 8th insisted this was all that was needed." Kawaki told him coldly as Boruto turned to Kawaki with an uninterested look.
"Ah Kawaki. Your insults have not gotten over the years. It sems you took my sword and equipment away and this seems to be sealing away my chakra?" Boruto noted drily as he tried to adjust his arms but failing to move much with how tight the bonds were.
Konohamaru crossed his arms and sighed looking at Boruto with a tired expression.
"That's right. Those cuffs were specifically made by Amado and seal away your chakra completely. Not even your favorite Teleportation Jutsu can get you of them." Konohamaru pointed out with a proud smile.
"Master Konohamaru. I still think this is excessive. Boruto has shown nothing but to be helpful when he returned to Kohona!" Sumire retorted as Konohamaru frowned at her.
"Thanks Class Rep but its okay. I get it from Konoha point of view I am still a criminal." Boruto told her warmly making Sumire beam at him.
"Hey! Don't get too friendly Boruto! Remember you are here to give intel not to be forgiven!" Konohamaru snapped as Boruto just sighed.
"Brat! I am not sure what standards Kohona has now but I know for a fact that Kakashi-Sensei would not have you let your torture Boruto for information." Naruto retorted causing Kakashi to let out an embarrassed smile confirming it was true.
Boruto turned around with his visible eye widening with shock.
"Lord 7th?... No wait… You are far too young to be him…." Boruto stuttered before regaining his composure.
Naruto gave him an eye smile before patting him on the shoulder.
"Heya Boruto! I was the one who healed you although I will tell you Himawari was going to do it anyways. You can just call me Naruto as I am not the Naruto Uzumaki this world has gotten to know. I am from a different dimension and I will say my world is a few years behind this one hence why I look so much younger than the 7th Hokage." Naruto explained brightly as Boruto blinked.
Boruto briefly saw Himawari who looked embarrassed but offered him a small smile.
'Kojo Kashin never mentioned another version of Dad appearing in any of his visions. Is it perhaps this version of dad doesn't appear in any of his visions or is this something that nobody could have been predicted.' Boruto thought but kept his face neutral.
"I see. Judging by everyone's expression it does certainly appear to be the case.. Naruto…." Boruto agreed with a nod.
Ada clicked her teeth getting everyone attention on the female Cyborg.
"That's all good and everything but the real question is what should Kohona do now? We have these two powerhouses Boruto and a different alternative Naruto who appeared to be at least willing to work with us. It is all rather tedious but looks like there is a lot of threads happening at once right now." Ada sighed as Naruto let out a hum.
"First, we need to deal with Code. He may be a minor annoyance compared to The Sentient God Trees but he does deserve to die for starting this entire mess. Plus, there is no point talking to him as he is truly an Otsutsuki fanboy who cannot be reasoned with." Naruto stated as looked grim but resolved.
"Tch. You got that right. He is truly a disgusting man who even if he became an Otsutsuki would not be any more worthy of my attention let alone my affection." Ada noted with disgust as she shuddered after sipping on her lemonade.
Notably every person there gave her varying degrees of awe and respect besides the people not affected by her 'Charm' application of Omnipotence including her brother Daemon, Boruto, Sumire, Himawari, Sarada and Naruto himself. Naruto himself gave her a brief look making her raise an eyebrow. Daemon just had a giant grin as if he was getting pleased at the idea of a fight.
'Is he giving me pity? I will admit that is certainly quite the different reaction from what I constatnyl look. Not bad like when Kawaki-kun gives me the cold shoulder but different. I thought he was acting like wasn't affected by my Charm but it seems like he truly unaffected and sees me as a regular girl.' Ada mused as Naruto turned his head away.
'Now those girls…. I told them I was willing to look the other way but it does appear they truly are not affected by my Charm or even the worldwide Omnipotence after all. Honestly It feels nice to now be fawned over because of some curse that Amado forced on me.' Ada thought with slight smile before she turned to Daemon with a concerned look.
'However, I should keep this under my hat for now. Despite his good intentions Daemon truly is too over protective as he might kill Sarada-Chan and Sumire-Chan just for the off chance they decided to physically hurt me not being under my Charm effect. I would have to constantly watch him to make sure he didn't go over board and that is such a pain so for now I will pretend I am not aware my only real friends are not under my spell.' Ada decided to herself.
"That is true. Code does intend to have ether Boruto or Kawaki be eaten by one of those Sentient God Trees to create absorb the rest of us to create Chakra Fruit. His Claw Marks are rather tedious to deal with as he can use as markers to move freely and escape if he gets pinned down." Shikamaru noted with a thoughtful expression.
"I guess Code is something like Lord 4th legendary Flying Rajin huh?" Konohamaru joked but regretted it when Naruto turned to him with a dark expression and clicked his teeth.
"Don't joke about that Konohamaru. My dad is nothing like someone like Code even Jutsu wise." Naruto warned as his eyes darkened to be like the dark parts of the ocean.
"First of all, Old Man Tobirama… I mean Lord 2nd was one who invented Flying Rajin he just did not make the jutsu famous like Dad did as the Yellow Flas of the Leaf. Second of all The Flying Rajin markers never leave even if the user themselves die so if you are marked and the Flying Rajin comes back you are screwed. As Dad's mark on Obito Uchiha remained on his back even after over a decade of being dead and then revived with Edo Tensei. They are not like Code's silly Claw Marks which can be shrunken down with Sukunahikona." Naruto ranted as Kawaki frowned at the implied slight against his ability from Naruto dismissive tone.
"Although I will say since I am being honest here that the Flying Rajin Mark can removed if a person has Tailed Beasts sealed inside of them like Obito mark vanishing when he became Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. Or if a person loses their Tailed Beast like my marking vanishing when I lost Yang Kurama for awhile. However, those circumstances are far less likely to happen then having Codes Claw Marks being unusable." Naruto lectured with an indignant frown.
Naruto opened his eyes when he felt Himawari give him a nervous smile and tug of his sleeve.
"I think they get the point Papa. It is nice you are defending Grandpa… I mean Lord 2nd's Jutsu." Himawari told him kindly as Naruto gave a near identical smile rubbing the back of his head.
"Oops. Sorry Hima-chan. I guess I got carried away. I guess old man Second rubbed off on me when people forgot he invented a lot of famous Jutsu hehe." Naruto admitted as they shared a laugh.
Boruto raised his visible eyebrow at the interaction.
'It seems that Naruto is at heart like Dad…. I mean Lord 7th and Hima has no trouble accepting him as our… her father figure as well. I suppose that is rather nice.' Boruto thought with a small amount of warmth as he kept reminding himself as far as the world was concerned, he was not Naruto Uzumaki son.
Shikamaru sighed as Konohamaru looked rather embarrassed. Sumire and Kawaki eyes seemed to shine as they looked at Naruto with respect and awe.
'Lord 7h… I mean other Naruto-san is so cool! He is like a walking encyclopedia of knowledge! The stuff he is saying isn't mentioned in the history books and he is just sprouting it out like it is common knowledge! He even knew things personally from Uncle Itachi who I have never even met! I wonder if he can stick around and tell me more stories that are not from the history books?' Sarada thought with awe as she mentally had her hands clasped together in excitement.
Meanwhile Sumire looked similar but her mental self was blushing.
'Other Naruto-san is very handsome… I mean cool… I mean a good role model…. He is so passionate and kind!' Sumire thought dreamily.
Kawaki then scoffed as he pointed to Boruto with his thumb.
"Why don't we just use Boruto as bait with his chakra sealed up. Code did come to Konoha in the first place to get this guy right? Best case scenario is Code kills Boruto for us and then I kill Code while his guard is down. Both problems are solved then I will deal with the God Trees." Kawaki suggested but the majority of the room looked annoyed at his suggestion.
Kakashi frowned along with Shikamaru while Konohamaru actually looked abit contemplative. Ada and Daemon were not looking at Kawaki but raised eyebrows as they watched Naruto. Himawari clenched her fist but didn't say anything while Sumire and Sarada glared at Kawaki with notable amount of hate.
"Shut your mouth Kawaki. If Boruto dies then you will die. THAT is what will happen if you are stupid enough to go through your ideas." Naruto stated calmly but a dark tone. Naruto eyes were closed and his arms crossed.
"Hey! You can't talk to Kawaki like that and expect Kohona to not take that as a threat!" Konohamaru snapped but flinched when Naruto opened his eyes.
Both of Naruto's eyes were in their Three Tomoe Sharingan form as his Tomoe seemed to spin as anger was visible in his eyes.
"That wasn't a threat. That was a fact of what would happen. If you don't want threats to happen to Kawaki then he should stop making threats in my presence." Naruto retorted as his Sharingan looked over at everyone once with a clear warning before turning back to his blue eyes.
"Now that is someone who a strong stare! I like you! You actually have the backbone to stick with your beliefs and strength to back it up!" Daemon cheered happily with an eerily amused smile.
'Unlike Kawaki who is too cowardly to own up to what he has done.' Daemon thought with an eye roll.
"So cool…." Ada stuttered as she felt her breath hitch from how attracted she was to Naruto and how hard it was to not blush like a schoolgirl at the moment.
Shikamaru coughed into his hand as the attention returned to the 8th Hokage.
"How exactly are we going to go after Code? He likely has moved to one of markers far away from Konoha or even in a different dimension by now. Even if we get troops ready in time he can move to a different location at any time?" Shikamaru reminded the group while Ada hummed.
"Well, I suppose if you ask nicely I can…" Ada suggested sounding like it was a bother but her flushed cheeks showed she was nervous as well. She was looking at Naruto with interest while she barely looked over at Kawaki anymore.
Kawaki did not seem to notice Ada lack of interest in him as he seemed only interested in glaring at Boruto and Naruto with the latter a look of notable amount of wariness.
"I can track him. Kamui doesn't need a marker like Flying Rajin so I can transport myself directly to his location as long as I can track his charka. To be clear I can track Anyone's chakra in this world regardless or where they are or the distance. That is a perk of having my abilities." Naruto interrupted although he did give a brief nod of thanks to Ada who closed her eyes but with a pleased smile on her face.
Naruto's Right Sharingan transformed into its Mangekyō Sharingan form as his left eye closed making him wink.
'Somehow I think he is flexing he has two fully functional Mangekyō Sharingan and even Rinnegan that he can turn on and off without any drawbacks.' Kakashi thought drily as he realized Naruto could have kept his eyes at full power like Sasuke did when he had both of his eyes.
Naruto hummed as he seemed to be focusing as he crossed his arms. After a moment he tapped his right index finger against his left forearm as his Right Mangekyō Sharingan narrowed looking far into the distance.
"Found him. It seems he is quite a coward after all. He thinks he can keep using those Claw Marks and nobody can track him? Ha! He is about to find out that no matter where he goes destiny will find him and his destiny is to die before he can make this world an even worst place." Naruto noted darkly as he seemed to have an unsettling smile.
While Daemon and Ada looked interested at his dark side the rest of the group seemed unnerved at the darker side of Naruto except for Himwari who just looked concerned.
'I know Papa has to do this but will he be able to control himself from going too far afterwards? As it was not just Code who has ruined this world. Kawaki's selfish desire to save my Papa even if it disregarded everything Papa wanted is also part of the reason this world is messed up.' Himawari thought in worry although she silently admitted she also was rather bitter towards Kawaki as well.
Naruto started to turn his body into a swirl as Kamui started to activated to make him go into Kamui Dimension and then use the Time-Space Jutsu to transport himself to Code's location through his chakra. However, he stopped midway as he turned to the group with a serious expression with his left ey estill closed.
"Let me make something very clear. I am going to deal with Code and bring back his half dead body back so I can execute him inside of Konoha as a criminal." Naruto explained before his right eye narrowed.
"While I am gone if anyone hurts Boruto or anyone here, we will have words and they will not be pleasant ones. You might all consider Boruto a worst criminal then Code but that is not the way I see it. If you take this time to vent your frustration against Boruto or interrogate him using violence then I will take it you are not willing to meet me more halfway." Naruto warned as Lightning chakra appeared to come out of his body for a moment in warning.
Konohamaru frowned but give a stiff nod when Shikamaru gave him a discreet nod to go along with Naruto. Kawaki frowned especially when Boruto barely gave him a look almost as if Kawaki disapproval did not matter to him.
"Ooh a man who is direct on what he wants. That is quite refreshing. Very well I and Daemon shall keep everyone in line while you are gone Naruto Uzumaki." Ada promised with her detached expression but a notable hint of nervousness in her tone while Daemon grinned eagerly.
"Best of luck Papa! Come back soon, okay?" Himawari asked him with a smile as Naruto closed his eye briefly to give her an eye smile.
"Of course, Hima. I will be back before you know it. That is a promise after all and having you frown in worry would break my heart. You smiling is a treasure that should be kept intact at all times." Naruto told her warmly as Hima got flustered much to his personal amusement.
"Papa shouldn't say things like that to his daughter. It could be taken the wrong way and it feels so weird to hear you say it." Himawari mumbled with an adorable pout making him laugh.
Boruto didn't say anything as he closed his eye seemingly trying to rest in this moment of reprieve. Kakashi gave Naruto a thumbs up and an eye smile getting a nod in return.
"Boruto… You might think this but things will turn out alright after all of this. I promise you that things will be the way they are supposed to be." Naruto promised with a mysterious tone as Boruto briefly looked curiously at him before resting again.
"Show Code who is boss Naruto!" Sarada declared as she saluted him to Naruto's amusement.
"Haha alright then. I wouldn't want to disappoint a future Hokage candidate after all." Naruto replied with a smirk making Sarada to beam up at him. Konohamaru meanwhile frowned at his student wjo had grown increasingly distant with him over the three years to the point where she proudly declared she would be a Hokage like the 7th Hokage not the 8th Shikamaru.
"Please be careful Naruto-san. Code is someone dangerous who probably has nothing to lose at this point." Sumire warned getting her cheeks to turn slightly red when Naruto gave her a warm smile for her concern.
"Still such a pretty smile Sumire-chan. The guy who manages to see it every day will be quite lucky in my opinion." Naruto commented offhandedly making her blush turn redder before his expression turned serious.
"Don't worry Sumire-chan. I won't let him get away with what he is done and this time there isn't a second chance." Naruto assured her before he resumed using Kamui.
A moment later Naruto disappeared into a swirl as the ripple in the air sucked him up. He briefly entered his entire body in Kamui's Dimension before he vanished again as he transported himself towards Code's location.
In an Unknown Location that appeared to be vacant
"Damn that Boruto. How did he track me especially back to That Place. Even with Time-Space Jutsu you still need to know where that place is to go there. Was it that toad that somehow a beacon for him to track me over there? Oh well that Toad vanished along with Boruto." Code mumbled as he panted looking around before giving a smirk.
"It doesn't matter though. I won't let my guard down next time and as long as a Ten-Tails eats Boruto who is an Otsutsuki it shall become a true God Tree and give me a Chakra Fruit. Then I can eat the chakra Fruit and become a true and ultimate Otsutsuki like Isshiki wanted me to be. I will be far beyond that faker and ingrate Boruto ever was!" Code declared with an insane laugh.
Due to Omnipotence affecting him despite him being in another Time-space when Omnipotence was cast his memories of jealously changed from Kawaki to Boruto. He sincerely believed Boruto was an ingrate who was 'lucky' to be chosen as Isshiki's vessel and hated him for being the main reason for Isshiki's true death. He also hated Boruto for 'stealing' Ada who rejected him for Boruto but in reality Kawaki.
"Nice plan but sadly it is never going to happen. Your destiny is sadly going to end today instead of living forever." Naruto told him as Code turned around with wide eyes.
"You?! The Hokage?!" Code yelled in surprise as he believed the 7th Hokage was killed three years ago but here he was appearing out of a ripple in the air in a swirl as he landed in front of him.
"No…. You only look like the Hokage but you are not him especially with eyes like those. You are also far younger than he was." Code noted as he saw Naruto with a Right Mangekyō Sharingan and Left Nine Tomoe Rinnegen in his eyes.
'He reminds me of that damn Sasuke Uchiha when he had both eyes. It doesn't matter though. No matter who it is I will not let anyone stop me from my goal!' Code silently declared.
Before Naruto could say another word or move, Code hands turned into hardened and sharpened metal like claws. He swiped at Naruto with his right hand as the air seemed to rip in the shape of his claws as he sent a Claw Mark marking at Naruto's face.
Unseen to Code Naruto's Left Rinnegan pulsated as the Claw Mark zoomed towards his face. Code smirk turned to shock as a shockwave rippled from Naruto ripping apart the ground in front of him. The Claw Mark seemed to be reflected back at Code as the mark appeared on his face. Not only that Code himself was sent flying back by the shockwave and crashed through a pillar leaving a trench before he eventually slowed down.
'Gotta love the Deva Path or specifically the Almighty Push. Not that I rely exclusively on it or anything as those 5 seconds are a giant window if you know about and only rely on it like Nagato Deva Path did.' Naruto thought smugly.
"Dammit. A shockwave that repels anything that comes towards you? Are you like that ungrateful brat?" Code panted as he lifted himself off the ground with a trail of blood from his chin.
'Dammit I am stronger then Isshiki and yet Daemon, Boruto and even this Hokage wanne-be keep popping up and humiliating me!' Code thought angrily and resentfully as he wiped the trail of blood from his mouth.
"Brat? You mean Daemon? Nope this is not a Reflecting ability but I won't tell you how my powers work. I am not a cliché villain who tells his enemies his abilities just because." Naruto informed him with a smirk as his eyes tomoe spun to prove his point.
Code growled as he sent another swipe at Naruto who this time stepped to the right making the Claw Mark miss and hit the ground besides him. Code smirked widely as he swiped the ground next to him making another Claw Mark appear on the ground. He then slid into the Claw Mark next to his feet and slid into the Claw Mark almost as if it was a hole and he was a gopher as parts of his body vanished into the Claw Mark part by part.
He then appeared out of the Claw Mark that was next to Naruto with the parts that vanished from the previous Claw Mark. He rushed forward with his sharpened metal claws aiming for Naruto's throat who only raised an eyebrow. Naruto ducked under hi swipe and put his hand out with his palm facing Code who eyes widened.
"That Stance! Dammit! Not again!" Code hissed as a memory of Momoshiki manifesting from Boruto's Karma and taking over his body with massive Rasengans that curved up the forest forcing him to jump from Claw Mark to Claw Mark three years ago. Then another memory appeared of present-day Boruto using the Rasengan: "Uzuhiko" and making him fear for his life just recently.
Code then leapt back into the Claw Mark he used to get near to Naruto and crept back to his previous position using the other Claw Mark to get distance. He glared at Naruto especially when he gave him a mocking smile.
"Wow you are jumpy. Are you that worried about me using a Rasengan you would leap back just from me putting me palm towards you?" Naruto mocked as he crossed his arms with an amused smile.
"Damn you! You bluffed to get me to back off?" Code demanded as he sent another Claw Mark towards Naruto with a swipe of his hand.
To his irritation Naruto didn't even bother to reflect or doge it. Instead, Naruto made fast hand signs and clapped his hands together. Instantly a massive chunk of Earth raised from the ground and acted as a wall in between them. The wall intercepted the Claw Mark and then with a wave of his hand the earth Wall and Claw Mark that was tagged on it was redirected and sent far away. Naruto smiled at him as Code growled louder.
"Is having scary claws and the ability to move through Claw Marks the only things you can do? Did having a White Kama go to your head especially as you don't have any limiters on your body? It's really quite sad how much of one trick pony you are and you think you have the right to consume the entire Planet?" Naruto asked with a sigh of disappointment as he closed his eyes and placed hand over his forehead.
This made Code growl as the power of the White Kama enhanced his base stats in a similar manner to Kawaki using his own Kama which was a natural black colour. He rushed forward at full speed while Naruto yawned before he avoided a swipe of Code's claws by shifting his body slightly. He continued to avoid his fast swings even when he used both hands. Code tried to place a Claw Mark on Naruto while they were on close range but then Naruto placed a hand out with palm forward building up chakra.
This made Code instantly swipe instead at the ground on his feet and use a Claw Mark to escape before Naruto could finish charging his Rasengan.
"Wow so quick to run. You are skittish huh. As soon as there any actual danger you run with your tail behind legs. First against the Hokage and Sasuke, then Kawaki, then Boruto and now me. You really are nothing special and being obsessed becoming a 'perfect' Otsutsuki doesn't make you special." Naruto noted before his right hand twitched with his index finger pointed slightly.
By instinct Code placed his transformed hands over his face and due their sharpness being similar to swords this allowed his hands to withstand dozens of sharp blades of wind that would have shredded his face. The force of the blades did force him onto a knee as he growled withstanding the barrage for a few seconds before it suddenly stopped.
Naruto hand twitched again but this time Code appeared to be more prepared as he ran into a Claw Mark and vanished completely appearing dozens of feet away from Naruto. Where Code was once standing water appeared above where his head was and dropped leaving a large puddle almost as if a water balloon popped in mid air. Naruto sent out a laugh and clapped his hands on the prank making Code leap back for no real reason.
"Let me ask you something? You wish to kill me, correct? Even if I was going to just talk to you like a human being you would still try to rip my head from my shoulder? Naruto asked calmly.
"…. What other reason would I need to kill an insect like you besides you being in my way?" Code retorted with an angry but wary look.
"Sigh….. Let me ask you a question? Why do you constantly run away from me? If you seek to kill me then you should be coming towards me instead of away from me." Naruto asked as Code's eyes narrowed as he put his clawed arms in front of him.
"Distance only means something when it comes to people who are on the same level. No matter where you run to you cannot get away from me. Especially because…" Naruto lectured as he smiled at with a cold expression.
Code eyes widened as Naruto seemed to disappear from his sight and then he felt pain radiating from his chest as he looked down.
"I can reach you and slash your chest whenever I want." Naruto noted standing in front of Code instantly.
Naruto had placed a hand on Code's shoulder while there was a slash on his chest making Code's blood start to splash in the air as a thin stream of blood leaked out. Code growled as he attempted to slash at him with a clawed hand only for a black rod to get stabbed into his right arm. Naruto had seemed to vanish and appeared next to Code with his back to him. Code pivoted on the spot and attempted to claw at him with his left hand only for another black rod to get stabbed this time into his left arm.
Naruto held onto Code's left arm with his wrist before he pivoted slamming Code into the ground with one quick movement leaving a crater as Code let out a groan of pain. Before Code could react another two black rods were stabbed into his chest missing his vital spots but he felt immense pain regardless.
"What is this?! I couldn't even sense your movements! Is this teleportation of some sort? My senses are not distorted and yet I couldn't react at all!" Code demanded glaring up to see both of Naruto's eyes were in their Rinnegan state.
Naruto did not respond but lifted his leg up and attempted to drop kick his right heel into Code. This time Code was able to react as he made a new Claw Mark underneath himself and slipped away into a distant Claw Mark for safety. Naruto's foot caused a massive crater as it missed Code making Code let out a smirk which vanished when he looked on to see something coming towards him.
A yellow Shuriken like chakra projectile was launched at him from Naruto as soon as he reappeared from his Claw Mark. Code run into his Claw Mark and managed to get away just as the Chakra Shuriken whizzed past where he was standing.
"So, you dodged my Rasen-Shuriken huh? Not bad Code." Naruto praised sarcastically giving him a mocking clap.
Code had managed to reappear in a Claw Mark on the other side of Naruto only to widen his eyes as the Rasen-Shuriken had expanded and exploded in a massive torrent of chakra once it sailed far enough away from its missed target. Code could only marvel as the wide circle of pure destruction as it expanded and seemed to vaporize the ground itself leaving a giant crater after it eventually subsided.
"What raw destructive power… Is this the power of the Hokage when he is not holding back?" Code wondered out loud before he noticed Naruto no longer standing in the same spot he saw him before.
'He vanished again?! How can he keep vanishing from my sight without any sort of movement I can see?' Code thought as he tried to leap into a new set of Claw Marks.
However, he only felt pain as the two Black Rods in his chest were ripped out and stabbed this time into his back. He felt a series of quick kicks sent into his chest making him let out cries of pain. Naruto was now in front of him as he sent his knee into Code's chest while Naruto held Code's arm to prevent him from being sent flying. Before Code could react from this brutal beatdown Naruto sent closed his right hand into a closed fist. He sent his closed fist slamming into Code's head with such force that the shockwave itself caused a crater to appear beneath of Code. Code lost consciousness from this brutal attack making Naruto nod to himself.
Naruto then created two more Chakra Rods and stabbed them into Code's back joining the other two he had moved from his chest. This left two chakra rods in Code's arms one respectively in each other and four in his back as Code dropped to his knees.
"That should do it. Now that my gift to Konoha has been giftwrapped I suppose I should head back. I did promise Sumire-chan I would be back soon and getting to see Hima's happy smile will be worth the pain this guy caused." Naruto noted with a smile as his Rinnegan seemed to hum with amusement.
Naruto's Right Rinnegan spun before transforming into its Right Mangekyō Sharingan state as he picked up Code roughly like he was a stack of potatoes with the chakra rods stuck in his body. He looked at Code and focused his right eye on him. A swirl appeared as Code was sent into the Kamui Dimension where he would remain trapped until Naruto sent for him. Naruto then used Kamui on himself and transported himself back to Konoha.
"Did you miss me? I bet you did! It's okay if you missed me as I already missed some of you!" Naruto voice chirped as he reappeared in a swirl and ripple in the air and landed on his in front of the Hokage desk.
"Aw did no one want to give me a hug? How rude and I came back as soon as I could!" Naruto whined as he raised his arms out expectantly.
Konohamaru and Shikamaru sighed in exasperation at Naruto's eccentric personality, Ada had a ghost of a smile on her lips while Daemon just gave a bloodthirsty grin. Kakashi chuckled into his hand in amusement. Sarada blinked at his return and Sumire blushed as she looked like she wanted to rush into his arms but caught herself from running up to him.
"Oh Papa…. I did miss you and I am glad you are unhurt and back so soon." Himawari admitted freely with an embarrassed but pleased smile which grew when Naruto focused his attention on her.
"That's my girl." Naruto told her proudly with a beaming smile.
"As touching as this is…. You came back very quickly even taking into the fact that Time-space Jutsu can travel vast distances and even dimensions nearly instantly." Shikamaru noted getting things back on point as Naruto walked up to the wall near the window so he could face everyone in the room.
"Ah about that. I could have dragged out for awhile to test different Jutsu and abilities against Code but I decided to just make it quick." Naruto admitted before a look of nostalgia appeared on his face.
"I previously went to…. Medieval world that cared way too much on bloodlines and family names in my opinion. Despite preaching about being civilized and honorable it really a world of backstabbing and crushing everyone else underneath you. Anyways in that world I fought against a bunch of enemies that could not feel pain and their leader and decided to hold back so I could test out the abilities of my new eyes. There wasn't any real risk of me losing but I do admit I did put the fate of the world on a scale to test my abilities instead of dealing with it right away. I guess I can see the folly of doing that now especially in this world." Naruto missed with a sigh. AN2:
"What kind of enemies did you have to fight where you wouldn't feel guilt about killing them?" Sarada asked quietly but with a notable look of curiosity.
"Ice Zombies called the White Walkers who can reanimate the dead as Walking Corpses. Think Edo Tensei but just their bodies that do not regenerate or have any feelings or humanlike qualities." Naruto replied brightly.
The room looked at him blankly before Shikamaru chuckled.
"I would say that is ridiculous but considering that is not too far off from what we Ninjas can do and that fact you are clearly not from this dimension I have to believe that is the truth." Shikamaru noted with Konohamaru nodding slowly.
However, one person was not amused as he crossed his arms.
"It doesn't matter. Where is Code? If you killed him, you should at least have a head to confirm the kill. I am not going to just take your word for it like the others." Kawaki said coldly and bluntly as Boruto rolled his visible eye.
'Still bad of an attitude as ever Kawaki. No wonder no girls like you.' Boruto thought drily.
Naruto turned to Kawaki with an eye smile.
"Oh, I didn't say I killed him. I just sent him ahead into my Time-Space as I did not want to hold onto him on the journey here. If you want proof of his defeat then here, he is." Naruto noted as both of his eyes turned into their Mangekyō Sharingan form and his left eye pulsated.
Instantly another ripple appeared and out of the swirl came Code out unconscious with black rods in his arms and back as he slumped onto his knees.
"Tada! I wrapped him up but I didn't have time to put a ribbon on him. Here is my gift! The man whose dumb actions caused the mutated Sentient God Trees to appear in the first place! Code!" Naruto chanted cheerfully as he put his arm out to point at Code.
Everyone looked at the unconscious Code with various looks of shock while Daemon smile grew.
"Huh so you are strong to take down Code so easily. You might be fun to actually fight Naruto Uzumaki the Not Hokage." Daemon noted as Naruto tilted his head at the title.
"Ugh. So gross. Code is so pathetic I am regretting working with him before let alone helping him regain his true power and even that power is still so sad its pathetic." Ada noted with disdain on her beautiful face as he lips turned into a sneer.
Her voice seemed to wake up Code who blinked several times before he seemed to realize he was in Konoha.
"How did I get here? I am back in Konoha and it seems everyone is here even Ada…" Code mumbled before he focused on the immobilized and subdued Boruto and his frown turned into a sadistic smile.
"Fate no destiny has given me a chance to get back at you for taking everything from me Boruto!" Code yelled as he quickly stood up with a bloodthirsty and insane smile.
Everyone was at attention except Naruto who looked completely at ease.
"Die!" Code yelled as he swiped his clawed hand at Boruto as everyone looked ready to intervene as everyone expected a Claw Mark to appear and attach to Boruto who was chained to the desk at the moment.
To everyone shock especially Code after he swiped no marks or anything appeared as he looked at his claws with shock and disbelief.
'Did Kawaki shrink his Claw Marks in midair using Sukunahikona? No, it cannot be as the marks simply did not appear at all instead of being shrunk by Sukunahikona.' Shikamaru thought in realization.
"Why?! Why can't I use my Claw Marks anymore?!" Code demanded as eh swiped again only for nothing to happen again.
Naruto clapped his hands as everyone attention returned to him.
"I brought you here so you could see the people you hurt before you pay. Not for a mad dog to bang his fangs out." Naruto stated with his eyes closed.
"To answer your question. The reason you can't use your Claw Marks or even chakra in general is because I placed Chakra Rods created by these eyes into your chakra points disrupting your control altogether." Naruto noted as he opened his eyes showing his Tomor Rinnegan in both of his eyes.
'This must have been what happened when I fought one of the Six Pans back then except, I could escape the rods by leaping away. It doesn't appear Code can remove those chakra rods by himself.' Kakashi thought in realization as he remembered the odd sensation he had when Pain stabbed a chakra rod into his shoulder back during Pain's invasion of Kohona.
"Did you think the porcupine look was just for style? I hit specific points so you will not be able to mold chakra let alone use or create Claw Marks as long as the Chakra Rods are in your body." Naruto mocked as Code growled at him.
Code tried to use his right claw to remove the Chakra Rod in his left arm only to unable to remove it from his arm. After a minute he panted as he glared at Naruto with hate.
"What did you do to me?! Not only can I not remove it anytime I touch those damn rods it feels my hands are frozen or electrified!" Code demanded as Naruto sent him a tsking sound and waggled his finger at him.
"These are no regular rods. These are created by my Rinnegan using the Outer Path. You can not simply, remove them like a sword or nail from your body. You need to have your own Rinnegan or at least similar chakra levels as me and trust me our chakra levels are like heaven and Earth apart." Naruto lectured as wriggled his finger at the outraged Code.
'He is so cool. To think he can use Ocular Jutsu so well and effortlessly. I wonder if he can help me with my own eyes later?' Sarada thought with glee.
Sumire blushed as she swayed finding Naruto even cooler and more attractive by the moment while Himawari was grinning ear to ear.
"Alright then. Since Code is subdued curtesy of our guest Naruto then I suppose the only thing, we got to do now is decide what to do with him. I think a trial would be pointless as his crimes are well known and not ones we can simply forgive. He did try to use Ten-Tails to turn the entire world into Chakra Fruit for his own selfish desires." Shikamaru noted as he looked at the room who gave him various nods.
Kawaki stepped forward with his arm out.
"I will do it. I will finally end Code like he should have been dead 3 years ago. Anyone who a threat will be destroyed." Kawaki stated with a cold look aimed at Code who sneered at him.
"Is that your only talent Kawaki? Finishing off a foe after someone else has defeated them?" Code taunted as Kawaki eyes narrowed as his right arm turned into a sword and pointed at Code.
"Hold up Kawaki! Don't be rash! We need to think this through before we just go killing Code." Konohamaru warned Kawaki who frowned but reverted his arm back to normal.
"I am guessing you will give the same curtesy to Boruto before you kill him? Don't go thinking 'after he has given Intel' counts as giving him a chance either. I brought Code to you and I have been healing your wounded. Keep that in mind before you start running your mouth Konohamaru" Naruto added with a dark tone as Konohamaru looked uneasy at Naruto.
"Code is different then Boruto. Despite his crimes being well known to affect the entire world, Boruto crimes are much eviller and viler!" Konohamaru yelled passionately while Kakashi looked uncomfortable at his statement.
This got glares from Sarada and Sumire as Himawari clenched her teeth especially when Kawaki had a smirk on his face of approval. Boruto was silent with his visible eye looking around almost as he was looking for escape route.
'My chakra is completely sealed up so I can't use Flying Rajin but as long as I have intel, they likely won't kill me right away. I just need to figure my way out of this. I can't die yet especially with those God Trees out there.' Boruto thought seriously.
"What proof do you have the 7th Hokage Naruto Uzumaki and his wife Hinata Uzumaki are actually dead? The word of Ada and Kawaki? Is that justice in Konoha using two people word as evidence now?" Naruto retorted as Konohamaru frowned while Shikamaru and Kakashi shared an uneasy look.
"We have no reason to distrust Kawaki especially with it being his father who was killed and Ada has her Senrigan which allows her to see current events as they unravel." Kakashi sighed as he placed a hand on his forehead.
"Those testimonies are hard to dismiss Naruto especially when it comes to something like the murder of a Hokage." Shikamaru added carefully as he mentally had to remind himself that the Naruto he knew was alive and that Boruto could be trusted.
"Then where are their bodies? Unless you have an obsession with studying their bodies like Orochimaru and take their bodies after death. Or you have something like Dust Release which can vaporize bodies to a microscopic level a body would still be there. Neither of those options are things proven that Boruto has!" Naruto pointed out as Boruto lone eye widened for a moment at the defence before it narrowed in resignation.
'It won't matter no matter what proof you put in front of people bound by Omnipotence they will not accept it. It simply conflicts too much with their altered memories for the proof to make sense.' Boruto thought with resignation.
Sarada and Sumire nodded eagerly while Konohamaru scoffed, Kakashi looked interested and Shikamaru turned his head to Ada.
"Well, I…." Ada stated looking uncomfortable at all the stares especially with the glare Kawaki sent her way telling her to keep her mouth shut.
"Hey! Back off! If my sister doesn't want to say anything then she doesn't have to say anything! Anyone who has a problem with that can talk to my fist!" Daemon exclaimed as he glared at the room who fell silent.
While this was going on Code seemed to be getting more and more annoyed as despite being in the room nobody seemed to care much he was there.
"You all…. If you are talking about killing me like I will just stand there and take it…. Then I will take someone with me along the way!" Code yelled getting everyone attention.
Before anyone could react, he dashed forward with his right claw poised in front of him. He dashed faster then Shikamaru Shadow Possession Jutsu as the shadow missed him.
"Dammit! I forgot even with his Jutsu sealed his arms and legs aren't bound." Shikamaru shouted as his jutsu missed Code.
Code was dashing forward to stab a wide-eyed Himawari. Himawari saw the man approach her and felt Kurama's chakra flow through her by instinct. Everyone yelled Himawari name in worry as they were not fast enough to stop Code who was just a few inches from Himawari's throat. Just as Himawari put her arms in front of her to fight Code off, Code seemed to freeze in midair and drop to the ground.
"What is this?! I know I dodged the shadow but my entire body just froze up like I can't control it at all!" Code yelled as his wide eyes looked around from his kneeling position.
A cold sensation fell on everyone in the room as they turned to Naruto who had his hand out and his Rinnegan active with a menacing cold look.
"No one touches Himawari especially a worm like you Code. I won't let anyone hurt her." Naruto stated with pure hatred in his voice.
Sarada turned on her Three Tomoe Sharingan in both eyes as she looked at Naruto and then Code.
"Incredible. I can see Naruto-san's chakra flowing from him into the black rods impaled in his body." Sarada gasped out as her Sharingan could see chakra and how it moved.
Himawari's Kurama chakra receded before she focused making her Byakuganactivate.
"There's more. Not only is Code's chakra network completely blocked off like Papa said those Chakra Rods do. Papa's own chakra is actively overriding and controlling Code's body from the inside." Himawari added as her own Dojutsu could see chakra on a more precise level.
Everyone looked at Naruto with awe as his right index finger twitched. This seemed to make Code's arms transform from their clawed state back into regular hands much to Code's shock.
"Impossible! He is controlling me of all beings with these rods?!" Code demanded as he tried to get up but his body refused to heed his commands.
Naruto walked forward so he was now standing in front of Code who was glaring up at him. Naruto finger twitched again as Code slowly got up to his feet. Despite the clear hatred sent from Code showing his contempt and wanting to kill Naruto, Code was forced to stand still despite his glare.
"For trying to harm Hima especially in front of me. I will make you pay a heavy price Code. Me being the voice of reason will not apply right now." Naruto warned coldly even as Code glared up at him defiantly.
"You think I will beg for me life? Me?! I was selected by Isshiki Otsutsuki himself to carry on the Otsutsuki will! No matter what you do I will get a Chakra Fruit and ascend to Godhood while you all will die with this pathetic plan~~!" Code ranted in a mad and raving way before being interrupted.
Naruto clenched his right hand as Code's hand wrapped around his own neck and started to choke him.
"!" Code yelped out as he tried to get his hands away from his throat but this seemed to only make his own hands clench harder despite his wishes.
"Naruto is making Code choke himself to death using those Chakra Rods to control his body." Kakashi gaped never thinking his kind hearted student even an alternate version would do something like this.
Even Kawaki eyes were wide as he watched Code looking around desperately even as his own hands were closing tighter and tighter around his throat. Ada and Daemon looked rather unaffected while Konohamaru and Boruto looked stoically but looked away. Sumire and Sarada looked sick at the display.
Himawari dashed forward as she stood by Naruto and tugged onto his leg pants.
"Papa please stop! This isn't the way!" Himawari pleaded as she had tears in her eyes watching her alternate father go down a very dark path.
"….." Naruto was silent as he looked down at his counterpart's daughter someone, he was rather fond of if he was being honest. Naruto cold eyes softened but still narrowed when he looked at Code.
Naruto hand relaxed as Code's hands were still on his throat but no longer choking him as Code coughed trying to get breath back into his body.
"I won't let him hurt you or anyone else again. I won't! He has to pay for what he has done and plans to do to everyone here!" Naruto insisted as he panted.
Himawari brought her face to his chest as she gave him a tight hug.
"I know he was to pay but please not like this! I don't want you do something you will regret later! Please Papa! If not for my sake, then your sake!" Himawari pleaded with all her heart as Naruto felt a wetness on his hoodie from her tears.
"Hima…." Naruto mumbled as his eyes softened even more as he finished unclenching his hand letting Code hands flop to his sides.
"Pant Pant… Damn insects how dare you do this to me!" Code panted as he glared at everyone with hatred and anger.
Naruto the wrapped his own arms around Himawari and let his eyes close as he embraced the young Uzumaki who tears ceased as she snuggled into his embrace.
"I am sorry you had to see me like that…. I didn't…. I have never actually used Chakra rods to control living people before. I didn't even know it could used like this to such a degree." Naruto apologized sincerely as Himawari head bobbed up as she lifted her head up to give him a sweet smile.
"It's oaky Papa. I know you only did it to protect me and I am thankful you care so much for me. It feels nice to be cared for like this…" Himawari told him warmly as he embraced her deeper.
"Haha… Anyone would be lucky to have a daughter like you. I am jealous of the other me and Hinata that someone like you was born from them but I am also very happy you are alive." Naruto admitted as Himawari teared up just abit from the admission.
Konohamaru and Shikamaru had small smiles at the interaction, Kawaki growled and clenched his fist, Ada and Daemon looked interested, Kakashi had a patented eye smile. Sumire and Sarada clasped their hands together and gave visible awes finding the scene very sweet and wholesome.
"That is so cute! He is just like Lord 7th despite Hima-chan not being his daughter!" Sarada squealed quietly.
"I know right! He is the sweetest man I have ever met!" Sumire replied just as touched.
However, one man did not hide his disgust.
"All the power in the universe and you are STILL so WEAK!" Code hissed from his hunched over position. AN3:
Code looked even more vile as spit started to flow out of his mouth as he hissed like a snake. Kawaki looked ready to put him down but surprisingly relented when Naruto put a hand up.
"Hima, can you step back abit? If you don't want to see this, any of you can look away or close your eyes. I won't judge you or think less of you." Naruto asked kindly looking around but everyone gave him a nod as he sighed.
"Code…. You might hate me and resent everything I stand for but luckily for you…. You won't have to live to see how strong or weak I become. Your destiny ends now so you can finally be with the dead Otsutsuki you praise and revere so much." Naruto told him solemnly as he placed his hands together.
"You rat! How dare you look down on me! Even if kill me this planet is doomed! One way or another the Otsutsuki Will will be carried out and I will laugh beyond the grave when everyone on this planet dies!" Code screamed manically as it seemed his mouth was the only muscle he could move now with the Chakra rods active.
Naruto flipped through signs so despite herself Sarada activated her Three Tomoe Sharingan and starred at Naruto's hands. Her eyes widened just as Naruto finished his hand signs by clapping his hands together.
"Sarada-chan? What's wrong?" Sumire asked seeing her best friend eyes full of shock and surprise. Even Boruto looked over at Sarada with concern.
"I couldn't…. read his signs at all even with my Sharingan!" Sarada revealed to everyone surprise as Naruto gave her a good-natured chuckle.
"My best friend and rival is Sasuke. I have even awakened my own Sharingan so I have developed my hand sign speed to offset and surpass the speed the Sharingan can see and anaalze my signs. Sorry but you won't be copying my Jutsu as even Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan couldn't read my signs." Naruto noted as he gave her a wink with his eyes still in their Rinnegan state.
Naruto shifted his hands apart as a transparent Cube appeared in between his hands and expanded as he moved his hands apart.
"This is!" Boruto mumbled as his lone eye widened in recognition.
"Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!" Naruto announced as the cube expanded to the point it was larger than a person.
"That is the former Tsuchikage Jutsu! Onoki-sama!" Shikamaru noted as Sarada and Boruto shared a look.
"I learned it from Old Man Onoki before I left home. Since I can use all 5 Nature Transformations naturally combing three of them to make a Kekkei Tota is not impossible for me. Although I will give my sympathies since Onoki died a few years ago, correct?" Naruto explained as he closed his eyes for a moment to give a silent prayer. AN4:
Shikamaru, Konohamaru, Sarada, Sumire and Boruto gave a quick moment of prayer to the deceased former Kage.
Code eyes widened when eh saw the cube and looked like he wanted to inch away but he was still restrained by the Chakra Rods.
"Don't worry Code. It will be over in a moment and your body will be mere dust. Despite what you have done I don't like torturing people and even killing people. I just cannot let you live and cause further harm to this world." Naruto stated softly as his stare was gentle with a hint of regret.
Code looked around only to see cold looks sent his way.
"Ada please! I can still be your knight! Save me and I will be your everything! I will serve all your whims and you can have the entire world!" Code begged to Ada who only looked at his in disgust.
Daemon gave his sister a questioning look who shook her head.
"Code…. You are so pathetic its sad. I only teamed up with you to get what I wanted and to pay you back for releasing me and my brother from our imprisonment. Getting your full powers unrestrained was paying off that debt. There is nothing more I would want from you then you shutting up for once forever." Ada told him coldly as her eyes narrowed at the white-haired man.
Code look of despair turned to anger as he glared at her and everyone in the room.
"I curse you for what you are doing! One day the Otsutsuki will return and turn this pathetic planet to ruin! I only wish I could be there to see you all perish!" Code raved before he was trapped in the transparent cube after it absorbed him into itself.
"Nice final words. Farewell Code. Perish." Naruto told him firmly.
Code screams vanished as the cube lit up with a massive bright light for a moment. The light dimmed revealing nothing inside the cube before the cube vanished as dust flew into the air and vanished.
Naruto sighed as he looked around. Shikamaru and Konohamaru gave him looks of appreciation. Boruto and Kawaki had similar grim expressions of satisfaction. Ada and Daemon had pleased smiles. Himawari, Sumire and Sarada looked away with pained expressions but smiled at him when he looked guilty.
"It's okay Papa. You did what you had to do. I know you didn't enjoy it but you stopped someone who couldn't be reasoned with and would rather see the world destroyed then live in peace. Thank you for doing this for us Papa." Himawari assured him as Naruto gave a sigh of relief.
"You looked pretty cool just now Naruto-san. I think you would make a great Hokage one day in your world." Sarada told him as he smiled widely.
"Yeah Naruto-san. I know you did in the least painful way and that man Code would have continued to hurt everyone if he could. You stopped him for us." Sumire added softly as Naruto nodded.
"Sigh. At least we don't have to worry about Code coming back again. He was so troublesome but now he is gone. Thanks Naruto we owe you one." Shikamaru sighed in relief.
"One less problem but there are still others we need to deal with one way or another." Kawaki noted as he glanced over at Boruto who kept his glance with a cool expression.
AN2: This is referencing the events of my other story "Uzumaki won't play the Game of Thrones" (the Naruto/Game of Thrones story). I know I haven't written more for that story but I can say Naruto holds back quite abit in that story to be able to continue test out the abilities of his Rinnegan like he alluded to in that story.
AN3: Yes, this is directly quoting Fire Lord Ozai in the last episode of Avatar the Last Airbender where Aang chooses to exit the Avatar Sate which was about to kill Ozai.
AN4: Naruto is referencing the Boruto episode 91 where Onoki over exerts himself and dies after oen last Dust Release. I know its only in the anime but I feel some of the anime filler could be considered canon and thus is for this world.
