Chapter 138: Attack of the Organization, Empire Sasuke Takes Action!

Chapter 138: Attack of the Organization, Empire Sasuke Takes Action!

"How is this possible?" Kawaki exclaimed in shock.

The Konoha guards, as well as Zoro and Sumire, wore identical looks of surprise.

They hadn't expected that an ordinary passerby in the village could withstand Kawaki's fearsome attack.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed.

The man who had been attacked took slow steps toward Kawaki, his eyes cold, indifferent, and full of disdain.

Kawaki wanted to back away, but he found himself unable to control his body and could only watch with a hint of fear as the man approached. The man loomed over him, his height exceeding 6 feet 2 inches.

The man looked down at Kawaki, an oppressive aura emanating from him. He raised his right hand and placed it on Kawaki's head, lifting it until they were eye level:

"Damn it... What the hell are you...?"

Before Kawaki could finish his sentence, a flash of purple light appeared in the man's eyes, and his consciousness fell into chaos.

Not far away, Sarada shouted:

"Stop! Don't hurt this man!"

"!"

The man turned his head and glanced at Sarada, his eyes cold as he said:

"A descendant of the Uchiha clan, able to unlock two tomoe at the age of twelve. You're much stronger than your good-for-nothing father."

"Damn it! What are you talking about?! Who the hell are you anyway!" Sarada asked angrily.

The man before them suddenly vanished.

And in his hands, Kawaki fell into unconsciousness.

Sarada and Sumire quickly rushed over to support Kawaki.

Soon after, Boruto and Naruto arrived with a group of people. After learning about the situation, they wore serious expressions.

"He blocked Kawaki's rampage? This is not something an ordinary person can do... It seems that things are not peaceful within Konoha... Is it the same group that helped Teacher Eyebrows?" Naruto asked.

A few days later.

Outskirts of Konoha.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Two figures clashed fiercely, their movements creating loud rumblings.

Until finally.

Boruto fell from the air, rubbing his swollen arm and shouting:

"How can I possibly do it so suddenly? You need to teach me how to control the Kama!"

"Tsk! I didn't expect you to be so slow on the uptake."

Kawaki's tone was a far cry from his previous wild behavior on the street.

Having escaped from the Organization, found refuge in Konoha, and stayed with Naruto's family, Kawaki, who had endured endless torture within the Organization from a young age, now felt a long-forgotten warmth.

This warmth was slowly melting the ice in his heart.

It was fostering a bond and deepening the friendship between him, Naruto, and Boruto.

"Damn it! Say that again if you dare!"

Boruto retorted angrily.

"Why can't you do something you've already done once?"

Kawaki replied helplessly.

He recalled the time when Boruto had used the Kama before.

"Stop blabbering! I was desperate back then, so I didn't care about anything else."

Boruto shouted.

"Pfft! That just means you're too dumb,"

Kawaki said.

Boruto grew even angrier and was about to say something when Kawaki suddenly asked:

"By the way... Do you have any information about the man who stopped my rampage before?"

"That man... As of now, we don't have any leads."

Boruto and Naruto, accompanied by Himawari, walked over slowly.

"Is that so? That man... He's dangerous. I sensed a terrifying aura from him..."

Kawaki said.

"Thanks for the heads-up, Kawaki," Boruto and Naruto smiled.

"An unknown dangerous enemy is hiding in our village, and you're still in the mood to smile?" Kawaki frowned.

"Hahaha... We've been searching for him, but if we really can't find him, then there's nothing we can do about it.

Besides, he didn't harm you or the villagers, so maybe he's not a bad guy?"

Boruto and Naruto said optimistically.

"Pfft, you're so naive," Kawaki scoffed.

"Alright, if our spar is over, let's seal this with a Reconciliation Seal... Hmm?" Boruto and Naruto's conversation was interrupted as their expressions turned serious.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

Boruto noticed Naruto's change in expression and asked.

"Boruto, take Himawari and leave first. We have company, and they might be after Kawaki."

Boruto and Naruto said sternly.

"Damn it!"

Kawaki's expression changed.

"You should leave with Boruto too.

I'll stay here and deal with the enemy."

Boruto and Naruto added.

Before Kawaki could respond.

A streak of light descended from the sky and crashed onto the ground!

Boom!!!

A violent explosion rocked the area, and the powerful gust of wind forced everyone to shield their faces. They looked toward the source of the explosion.

As the smoke cleared, a figure emerged—a woman with golden hair, purple eyes, wearing a blue top, a black cloak, and white thigh-high boots that reached above her knees.

"It's you! Deidara!"

Kawaki glared at the woman, his face sweaty and his expression a mix of anger and tension.

"Kawaki, is this woman also a member of the Organization?" Naruto asked, his gaze fixed on Deidara.

"Her name is Deidara, and she's a high-ranking member of the Organization, known as one of the Inner Circle," Kawaki replied, his voice tense as he revealed her identity.

"I know you, Uzumaki Naruto," Deidara said, lifting her head high as she addressed Boruto and Naruto. "Leader of the Konoha ninjas, also known as the Hokage, am I right? Although it's an honor to meet you, could you please step aside and not interfere while I take care of my business? The one I'm after is the person standing behind you."

"Be careful, everyone in the Inner Circle is a monster; they're not someone ordinary people can go up against," Kawaki warned, his tension palpable.

"... "

Seeing Kawaki's demeanor, Boruto's expression turned solemn. He never expected that even the powerful Kawaki would exhibit such a different attitude from his usual self.

This woman must be truly fearsome...

Damn it!

I wonder if Dad can handle her.

If only Dad had Lord Naruto's power.

With that, he could definitely kill this despicable woman with one punch!

Damn it! Why am I thinking about Lord Naruto again... Lord Naruto is no longer with us, and we must rely on our own strength to face strong enemies! Boruto thought to himself, clenching his fists.

"Sorry, but Kawaki is our honored guest, and we can't let him interact with strangers," Boruto said seriously to Deidara.

"Oh? Is that so?" Deidara closed her eyes. "You have a talent for provoking people. For that, you must die!"

Deidara's eyes snapped open.

"Dad!" Boruto exclaimed, alarmed.

"Boruto, step back and take care of Himawari. Kawaki, just focus on protecting yourself," Naruto instructed as he slowly advanced towards Deidara.

A gentle breeze blew, causing Deidara's earrings to tinkle.

In the next moment, Deidara darted forward at incredible speed, appearing in front of Boruto and Naruto.

Boom!

The clash between the two sent shockwaves rippling through the air.

Beams of light entwined, causing the ground to crack and shatter.

Boruto, Kawaki, and Himawari retreated, their eyes fixed on the battle, ensuring they maintained a safe distance while still being able to observe the fight.

Not far away, Empire Sasuke leaned against a tree, casually observing the battle. A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes:

"As expected, following this kid named Kawaki was the right choice. Unexpected events are indeed unfolding.

That woman... She's a cyborg, and her strength is at least that of a Super Kage level ninja.

The technology used to enhance her is impressive. To be able to boost a cyborg's strength to this level means their technical prowess is no longer beneath the Empire's.

As expected of the future, decades from now, there are indeed some pleasant surprises. Afterward, I'll find a way to bring the person behind this back to the Empire.

However... This world's Naruto is just as I expected, and he's as useless as the Naruto from my world...

What a waste of time, struggling to deal with a mere Super Kage level ninja.

This world's Naruto does have impressive regenerative abilities, which must be due to the power of the Nine-Tails.

Hmph... What a pathetic man, relying so much on the power of a beast.

Someone like him will never become a true powerhouse."

To the average onlooker, the battle was incredibly fierce and fast-paced, to the point where they could barely keep track of the combatants' movements.

But to Empire Sasuke, it was merely a skirmish between children.

He commented nonchalantly as he observed the fight.

Then...

Buzz!

Deidara's eyes shone with purple light, and two purple pillars of light erupted from them.

Boruto and Naruto dodged, and the pillars pierced through a cluster of trees. The remaining tree stumps, visible to the naked eye, seemed to age and wither at an accelerated rate, turning to dust in the wind.

"This is... An extinction attack specifically targeting regenerative abilities? As expected! The future always holds some surprises!"

Empire Sasuke's body tensed, and he slowly pushed himself away from the tree he had been leaning against.

Boruto and Naruto, engaged in battle with Deidara, also sensed the unusual danger and became more cautious.

The fight continued, but a serious Boruto and Naruto quickly gained the upper hand, using their formidable strength to suppress Deidara and force her into retreat, her face contorting with frustration.

After being knocked back once more, Deidara, who had been maintaining her distance, suddenly smiled eerily.

Her eyes glowed purple, and she prepared to launch an attack toward Himawari's location.

Boom!

Boruto rushed forward and threw a punch at Deidara's face, knocking her off course and deflecting her attack.

However, Deidara took advantage of this momentum and leaped toward Himawari and Boruto's position.

"Damn it!" Boruto cursed as he rushed after Naruto in hot pursuit.

But no matter how hard he tried, he always fell just short of catching up.

Deidara closed in, landing a punch that sent Boruto flying. Naruto, ever protective of his son, quickly rushed to his aid, catching him in his arms. As he looked up again, Deidara had already grabbed Himawari by her collar, lifting her off the ground.

Enraged, Boruto's Rinnegan markings surfaced, and he instantly formed a Rasengan with his right hand, hurling it at Deidara. However, his efforts were futile.

Deidara merely turned her head, and the spiraling sphere of chakra was sucked into her eyes.

"What a pity, kid." Deidara laughed, clearly enjoying herself.

"And now..."

As her words trailed off, Deidara violently swung her right arm.

Himawari was tossed high into the sky.

"Damn it!" Boruto and Naruto shouted in unison as they leaped towards Himawari's direction.

"Hehehehe! Now I've got you cornered!" Deidara cackled maniacally, her eyes glowing purple once more as two laser-like beams surged forth, aiming directly at Boruto and Naruto.

"Dad! Watch out behind you!" Himawari screamed in terror from mid-air.

Boruto's pupils contracted, and his face involuntarily betrayed his fear.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

How did things turn out like this? Dad was clearly in a dominant position, but because of us, he's now at a disadvantage!

That purple light is dangerous. If it hits, even Dad's regenerative abilities won't be enough! What do I do? What do I do? What am I supposed to do now?!

Boruto's heart was trembling, and he felt utterly helpless at that moment.

BOOM!!!

A deafening explosion reverberated through the air.

Smoke obscured Boruto's vision.

Deidara's maniacal laughter echoed:

"Hahahaha... Naruto Uzumaki, so you're not that great after all! Huh?"

Her laughter abruptly ceased.

Because... she saw Naruto cradling Himawari, having landed safely on the ground.

This caused a flicker of disbelief to cross Deidara's face:

"How is this possible? You blocked it?"

"No... I didn't."

Boruto and Naruto shook their heads, their gazes drifting towards the smoke as they held onto Himawari.

This action caused Deidara to pause, and she, too, turned her attention towards the smoke.

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing a stranger—a man with black hair, an ordinary-looking face, and a sturdy build. He was surrounded by a shrunken Complete Body Susanoo, the armor engulfed in black flames, his arms crossed over his chest as he looked down at them with an air of arrogance.

"Who the hell are you?" Deidara asked through gritted teeth, a hint of anger in her voice.

Just now! I was so close to killing Naruto Uzumaki and proving that I'm the strongest in the organization! Why?! Why did this annoying guy have to interfere?! Damn it!

"Thank you, mister," Boruto and Naruto called out amicably to the figure in the sky, although their eyes were filled with intense curiosity.

Because... the energy armor he wore resembled the Susanoo, and those black flames... Is that Amaterasu? Could he be from the Uchiha clan?

"Phew..." Boruto heaved a sigh of relief.

In the distance, Fukasaku, who had been observing the battle through Gamakichi, wore a look of surprise:

"An unexpected person has appeared... There's no information about him at all... What's going on here?"

Kawaki's pupils contracted. He had been about to leap into the air to intercept the attack, but in that instant, he saw a figure flash by.

This told him that someone else had stepped in to block the attack.

That's good.

However... what puzzled him was why this person was completely unharmed after blocking the attack.

That was a powerful attack capable of killing an enemy at the cellular level! How did this person achieve that? And... that face!

It's him!

"It's you!" Kawaki exclaimed, recalling the man he had encountered when he first escaped to Konoha and tried to run away.

"Hmm? Kawaki, do you know this guy?" Boruto and Naruto asked curiously.

"He's the one who stopped me before... He's dangerous, very dangerous... He might even be stronger than you!" Kawaki shouted.

"I see. So he's stronger than me, huh? Well, that's quite impressive. Looks like we're safe now," Boruto and Naruto said, a smile spreading across their faces.

"What a disappointment, Naruto Uzumaki.

I thought you would be more impressive than this.

But it turns out you're just mediocre.

You were completely reliant on the Nine-Tails' power in your previous battles."

The man in the sky was, of course, a disguised Empire Sasuke, and he paid no heed to Kawaki and Boruto and Naruto's conversation. He simply stared at Boruto and Naruto as he spoke.
