The Traitor in Konoha!

After hearing Boro's words, Shinki was speechless. "Trying to get something for nothing... You're overthinking it."

He's always the one who gets things from others Shinki effort!

"Cough cough!"

"Cough cough--!"

Just as the two were talking, the sound of other Ninjas coughing came from behind.

Shinki looked back and saw that the Ninjas, under the influence of the virus, had turned bluish-purple, their lungs were about to burst, and they looked like they were about to faint from gasping for breath...

Although Shinki was confident that no matter how many people from Konoha died in this battle, he could find a way to revive them...

But the Rinne Rebirth is something that diminishes with each use, and it's also quite strenuous to use, so it's best to avoid using it if possible!

"Do you have an antidote for the virus?" Shinki asked Boro.

Boro was overjoyed. Shinki's nonchalant remark sounded to him like a groveling plea for mercy!

Keep in mind, this is an achievement that even Jigen couldn't accomplish!

Boro had already imagined himself using the antidote to hold the Shinki hostage! He might even be able to achieve a great feat by doing so, getting the lion's share of the final profits and becoming a god stronger than everyone else!

"What are you standing there for? I'm asking you a question!" Shinki shouted.

While spreading the virus, Boro cautiously said, "If you want my help, you should at least show some sincerity! ୧⍢⃝୨"

Shinki's expression turned strange. "When did I ask for your help?"

After saying that, Shinki casually handed over the Kusanagi Sword in his hand!

On the other side, Boro, fearing another attack from Shinki, was on high alert!

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his back, as if a knife had sliced off a piece of his flesh!

Realizing something was wrong, he turned around and indeed found that a piece of flesh was missing from his back!

Boro: (๑ʘ̅ д ʘ̅๑)!!

"Who did this?!"

"Who just attacked me while I was distracted?!"

"If you're a human being, don't act like a dog! If you're a dog, bark! Don't sneak around hiding in the shadows!"

Boro was already on edge fighting the Shinki, and now an unknown expert lurking in the shadows, capable of traversing the poisonous miasma and slicing off his flesh, had pushed the tension in Boro's mind to its limit!

While Boro was searching everywhere for the murderer, Shinki always had a smile on his face!

In his hand, there was a piece of reddish flesh!

This is the piece of meat that Boro lost!

As for how he cut off the flesh, that was simple: a 'Anywhere Door' easily solved the problem!

Shinki wasn't a sadist; he simply cut off Boro's skin and flesh to use for research.

As far as he knew, there were no virus-based ninjutsu in the Shinobi World, so the only reason Boro could release the virus from his body was because he had undergone modifications...

This situation reminded Shinki of someone— Hanzo of the Salamander!

In Amegakure, there once lived a highly poisonous Ibuse. After the Ibuse died, the venom sac inside its body was implanted into the body of the Ninja Hanzō.

Over the years, Hanzō developed resistance to the poison in the venom sac... Boro's situation is probably similar to Hanzō's Boro; his long-term exposure to the virus has also given him special antibodies!

Therefore, developing an antidote using Boro's body tissue would be much faster!

After doing all this, Shinki once again used his Dōjutsu to open the Anywhere Door and threw the piece of flesh directly inside!

Konoha Ninja Hospital

Tsunade, who had been invited by the hospital director to treat the patient, looked at the piece of flesh that had fallen into her hand with a shocked expression!

"This... (≖╻≖;) "

Before she could finish speaking, Shinki's voice echoed in Tsunade's mind, "This person has antibodies against the virus. Master, I'm counting on you."

After recognizing Shinki's voice, Tsunade had no doubts and nodded, saying, "Don't worry."

Meanwhile, the Shinki, having obtained flesh and blood, intends to end this battle!

"Buzz--"

A Dust Release laser shot out from his palm. Although Boro dodged in time, half of his head was still blown off by the laser!

A normal person would be dead long ago without half a head, but Boro is different. Not only does he stand there calmly, but he can even taunt, "Is this all the Sixth Hokage is capable of?"

After saying those few words, something strange happened to Boro's body; the missing half of his head grew back...

Shinki:=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇)

Can a head grow back after it's gone?

This self-healing ability is probably beyond even my own capabilities!

Upon noticing the Shinki's micro-expressions, Boro laughed happily, "I am the true god's representative on earth!"

"I am immortal!"

On the other side, Shinki silently formed hand seals. "Dust Release Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

A transparent white cube instantly enveloped Boro's body, crushing him into molecules before he could utter a single word!

"I hope your body can grow back after being crushed like this..."

After finishing his speech, Shinki rushed to the next battlefield.

Soon, the Kara's invasion was repelled by Shinki and a large number of Konoha Ninja!

In the Hokage's Office, the high-ranking officials are holding a post-battle debriefing meeting.

"A total of thirteen Jonin, twenty-eight Chunin, and seventy-three Genin perished in this battle, but all have been resurrected by the Lord Sixth..."

"In addition, about four hundred people are unconscious due to the virus infection and are currently receiving treatment at Konoha Ninja Hospital..." Shikamaru read the documents he had just compiled.

Tsunade continued, "I've already produced the antibody injection. Once the injections are completed, those patients will be safe."

Shinki: "One thing to mention is that in this battle, Konoha is facing not only Kara members outside the village, but also Kara members who have been lurking within the village for a long time. Even the Anbu have been infiltrated by Kara!"

Utatane Koharu: "The spy has infiltrated the village's core levels; Kei is truly playing a grand game..."

Mitokado Homura: "Looks like we'll have to be stricter with personnel selection from now on. It would be best to thoroughly investigate their ancestors for Third, and anyone with a criminal record should be permanently banned! And those with prior convictions for treason should be thrown in Prison! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"

Sasuke: "..."

I felt subtly insulted!

Tsunade: "The rules for selecting talent need to be formulated in detail; it's not something we can decide in a few words..."

Mitokado Homura: "I was just mentioning it casually."

On the other side of the Square Table, Naruto spoke up, "There's another very serious problem, how should we handle the Shūichi?"

"Although he has been quite well-behaved at the Konoha Orphanage these past few days, it should be noted that Jigen can teleport at will through the 'Karma' seal on his body, which is a huge hidden danger for Konoha!"

Tsunade looked at Shinki: "Naruto, you've hit the nail on the head."

Shinki looked thoughtful. "Let's keep everything the same."

"Shūichi status is special, Konoha is the best place to protect him... We absolutely cannot let Kara get his hands on him!"

Tsunade: "What about the safety of the village?"

Shinki: "Don't worry for the time being."

"After this incident, Shell will definitely have to behave itself for a while."

"If you're really worried, I'll send Shadow Clone to keep an eye on him!"
