Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

Konoha Hidden Village.

Nara Shikamaru continued to interrogate Amado. The battle had begun. He must get as much information about Otsutsuki Ishiki as possible in the shortest possible time.

Provide more help for Seventh Generation and Uchiha Sasuke to defeat the enemy.

"What does it mean?" Nara Shikamaru asked, "Plant [Sacred Tree] and then get [Chakra Fruit]..."

"What does Shell's plan have to do with Boruto?"

Nourishing~

Amado took a drag on his cigarette and said calmly, "I have said before that if you want to plant the [Sacred Tree], you must use the [Ten-Tails] as the sapling of the Sacred Tree."

"After planting, in order for the saplings to grow vigorously and produce chakra fruits, [Ten Tails] must eat a living [Otsuki]."

"That is to say, one of the Otsutsuki clan's two-person team is destined to be eaten as a sacrifice?" Nara Shikamaru was surprised.

"Yes." Amado nodded slightly, "One person is eaten to provide nutrients for the [Sacred Tree]; the other guards the growth of the [Sacred Tree] until it bears [Chakra Fruit]."

"Probably, Otsutsuki who became the sacrifice will use the wedge to reincarnate."

"So you need to prepare the [devices] needed for resurrection in advance, digitize yourself in advance, and put them into the body of the [devices], waiting for resurrection."

"So that's how it is..." Shikamaru looked dazed, "Everything makes sense."

"According to what Sasuke said, Otsuki Ichishiki came to this planet together with Otsuki Kaguya." Shizune asked aloud, "They also planned to use the method you just mentioned to plant [Divine Tree] on this planet. ?"

"It was supposed to be like this... at least Yishi thought so." Amador exhaled a puff of smoke.

"From their standpoint, Otsutsuki Kaguya, who was one level lower, should have been a sacrifice to support the growth of the sacred tree."

"But Otsuki Kaguya, for some reason, suddenly rebelled, attacked and injured Otsuki Ichishiki, disrupting the whole plan."

"With the existence of Wedge, why did Otsutsuki Iski become what it is now?" Nara Shikamaru was puzzled.

"The reason is very simple." Amado said, "After being attacked by Kaguya Otsutsuki, Ishiki's physical condition has never been weaker. It can even be said to be on the verge of death."

"However, engraving [Wedge] is a matter of considerable energy and physical strength. He had no spare energy at that time."

"At this moment, a traveling monk happened to pass by him. You also know this traveling monk."

"Cixian!" Chuanmu said through gritted teeth.

"That's right." Amado confirmed his answer, "The weak Yi Shi had to live in Ci Xian's body - like a parasite, waiting for an opportunity."

"It was only later that he carved the mark of [Chun] into Ci Xian's body."

"Back to the original topic, what does Boren mean to Shell Organization?" Amador continued.

"Because of Hui Ye's betrayal, Yishi had to live in Cixian's body. Under the circumstances, Yishi had no choice but to [plant] the sacred tree by himself."

"...In other words, if you want the 【Divine Tree】to grow, Ichishiki can only use itself as Juwei's 'nutrient'?"

"Yes." Amado sat back in his chair, "Because there is no other Otsutsuki, he is the only one."

"Ke's original plan was to make Ci Xian, who had transformed into Otsutsuki, become a sacrifice; and Ishiki was to be resurrected through the wedge on Kawaki's body."

"Because apart from him, there is no more suitable candidate."

"But!" Amador changed the subject, "The appearance of Boren changed the whole plan."

"Compared to the unhealthy and dying Otsuki, the young and healthy Otsuki is obviously more suitable to be the 'nutrient' of the [Sacred Tree]."

"Am I right?"

"A few months ago, Boruto was wedged into a wedge by Momoshiki. As long as his wedge completely thaws and turns into Otsutsuki, he can replace Ji Xian and become the [Ten-Tails] sacrifice, right?" Feeling the other party's provocation, Nara Shikamaru followed his train of thought and told the result.

Amado smiled slightly and continued, "Actually, the [Sacred Tree] may or may not bear [Chakra Fruit]."

"Just like an ordinary orange tree, a high-quality fruit tree will bear high-quality fruit, and a high-quality [sacred tree] will bear high-quality [Chakra fruit]."

"The quality of [Chakra Fruit] is directly linked to the sacrifice."

"Is this why Sasuke thinks Boruto will be a breakthrough?" After understanding the relationship between Otsutsuki and the sacred tree, Nara Shikamaru finally understood why Sasuke chose to bring Boruto with him.

"But this alone is not enough to defeat Otsutsuki Iski, right?"

"Who knows?" Amado is very open-minded, "Anyway, we can only let nature take its course."

Several people here were either shocked or worried, but as Amado said, they could only choose to believe in the Seventh Generation and could do nothing.

The hole in your heart can only be filled by wedge...

Kawaki looked at his empty palm and gritted his teeth secretly.

When he saw Amado's attitude of showing that it had nothing to do with him, he suddenly became angry.

"Tell me, how far has things gone according to your expectations? Ah!"

"..." Amador glanced at him, but didn't speak.

"You bastard! You're talking!" Kawaki suddenly got angry and grabbed Amado's collar.

"I'm curious, what are you worried about?" Amado's expression remained calm.

"Is it hatred of one's own powerlessness? Or is it the sense of loss of losing Wei?"

"Asshole!" Hearing this, Chuanmu recalled the grievances he had with him when he was in the shell organization, raised his fist, and wanted to take revenge all at once.

My body was transformed by this guy!

And, without my own consent!

"Cawaki, stop!" Seeing this, Nara Shikamaru couldn't continue to watch the fire from the shore, so he quickly controlled him with the shadow imitation technique.

"I can understand how you feel." Amado straightened his sleeves. "The freedom that was regained and the bond that was established are on the verge of collapse in an instant. There is no point in being distressed and remorseful."

"Perhaps I can give you some help..."

……

Different space.

Looking at Boruto who put Kunai on his neck, Otsuki frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"You want to threaten me in this way?"

"If you think I can't do it, you are wrong." Boruto threatened sternly, "From the moment I joined the battle, I was prepared to die."

Swish!

A flying thunder god kunai fell behind Ichiki.

Otsutsuki Isshiki was still thinking about who lost the kunai, when he lost it so badly.

A figure covered in black lines suddenly appeared behind him.

Sweeping legs with terrifying force fell on him and kicked him dozens of miles away.

The aftermath of the remaining life directly caused the ground below to sink by more than one foot.
