Amado's Uncertain Allegiance!

Before Bagu could even speak, the Ōtsutsuki Cult patrolmen who arrived had already imagined a dramatic scene of Bagu being captured and coerced!

"Don't be afraid, we'll get you out right away!"

The patrolmen, equipped with makeshift Chakra Cannons, spoke with high spirits.

Bagu looked terrified and waved his hands frantically, crying, "Don't come any closer! You'll really die!"

Seeing so many people arrive, Code, standing beside Bagu, prepared to make his move.

The next moment, Ada spoke up, "Code, you don't need to intervene..."

"Daemon, show us!"

As Ada's voice faded, a dark figure rushed out from beside Code —it was Daemon, who had been ordered to kill!

On the other side, a patrolman, seeing this man charging forward so recklessly, pulled the trigger of his Chakra Cannon!

"Whoosh!"

The dark figure deftly dodged the Chakra Cannon and appeared behind him like a ghost!

Then!

"Boom!!"

The man who pulled the trigger exploded, a truly gruesome sight!

It felt like I'd been hit by Chakra Cannon!

Upon seeing Code, Kaud's pupils contracted slightly. "What's going on? Σ( ° △ °|||)"

"Does your brother have a built-in Chakra Cannon?"

Ada didn't rush to answer, but smiled and said, "You'll understand once you keep watching."

A dozen seconds later, several corpses appeared in the room!

Everyone dies differently; some are blown to the head by Chakra Cannons, others are hacked to pieces by knives or axes...

After observing for a while, Code also gained a preliminary understanding of Daemon's ability. "He can reflect the damage he receives?"

Ada shook her head. "Looks like you're a little slow on the uptake. No wonder Jigen has been keeping you locked up in the base."

Code: "..."

Ada didn't keep them in suspense any longer, explaining, "Daemon's abilities are more than just reflecting attacks..."

"He can deflect the enemy's killing intent towards him, meaning he can kill the enemy without taking any of their attacks."

"Those who try to kill him with Chakra Cannon will be killed by the Chakra Cannon themselves; those who try to chop off his head with an axe will be chopped off themselves... The stronger the enemy's killing intent towards him, the greater the damage he will suffer..."

Code understood; no wonder Bagu had told him not to lay a hand on the child...

"Speaking of which, you two siblings are both incredibly capable..." Code his tongue in amazement.

Ada pouted. "It's impolite to describe a girl with those two words."

"I'm sorry, I was just too happy." Code readily admitted his mistake.

With the help of the two siblings, he finally felt more confident about facing Shinki!

The next day.

Inside a Laboratory in Konoha.

Lying on the bed, Shūichi was covered in a cold sweat, fidgeting with his hands and feet, muttering to himself, "Code, do you think I just want to be a vessel...?"

At one point, Shūichi suddenly woke up from a nightmare, gasping for breath! (≖╻≖;)

Amado sat next to Shūichi, his fingers constantly adjusting the machine beside him. "You're awake. Looks like you were very busy in your dream."

Shūichi Amado's teasing remark, Chu Yi asked, "Was Code caught?"

Amado his head and replied, "It wouldn't be that early. The Kara members are all very shrewd!"

"It seems that Code has a significant impact on you; he's become your nightmare."

Shūichi glanced at Amado, who had made sarcastic remarks, and said, "If you think about it carefully, isn't it all your fault that caused all of this?"

"Whether it's modifying our bodies or branding wedges onto us, you've been involved!"

Amado spread his hands, looking completely innocent. "I've already said I had no choice, and besides, Isshiki is already dead."

"Alright, close your eyes now. I'll continue the examination to see if the disappearance of the wedge has any other effects on your body..."

I was Shūichi lazy to waste words with this guy, so I closed my eyes.

After some time, Amado finished his examination and, looking at Shūichi whose clothes were soaked with sweat, said, "There's something I think you should know."

"Those branded with a Karma will slowly Ōtsutsuki-fication... Although the Karma on your body has disappeared, the Ōtsutsuki-fication of your body is irreversible."

"I understand," Shūichi replied coldly, turning to leave.

Amado spoke again at this moment, "With the wedge gone, your power is greatly diminished. Are you content with this?"

Shūichi didn't turn around. "Wait? That was never mine to begin with; it was a curse upon me. Ծ‸ Ծ"

Amado did not refute, but nodded and said, "It was indeed an omen of misfortune for you before, but now that Isshiki is dead, no one else can take over your body."

"From now on, the 'Wedge' will become your asset, just like Code's 'White Kāma,' existing purely as your power."

Shūichi back, Chu Yi felt that Amado strangely today. "What exactly are you trying to say? My wedge has disappeared. (´-ι_-`)"

"Although the wedge has disappeared, you still have the power of the Ōtsutsuki within you, but there is no longer a bridge to connect that power," Amado explained.

"If you'd like, I can try to rebuild the bridge for you..."

Shūichi and Amado locked eyes, and Chu Yi saw sincerity and honesty in Amado's eyes, just like the words he had just said, which were all for his own benefit.

"No!!" Shūichi suddenly exclaimed.

"You weren't like this when you were in the Kara!"

Shūichi narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "From helping Kara collect containers, to helping Kara fight the Lord Hokage... and now betraying Kara and offering to help me rebuild 'Karma,' your actions are erratic..."

Or rather, your true purpose has never been revealed!

"Unlike the other Naijin Members who yearn for immortality and gods, you don't share the desire to protect your home like everyone in Konoha."

"Amado, you've been hiding this too well. What are you really thinking?" Shūichi asked.

After Shūichi finished speaking, Amado still maintained his usual shrewd and worldly demeanor.

He took a sip of coffee, laughed, and said, "If you don't want to, you don't want to. Why come up with this conspiracy theory? 눈_눈"

"I've said before that I've wanted to kill Jigen for a long time, and everything I've done before was just looking for an opportunity... Of course, the seed of doubt has already sprouted in your heart, and no matter what I say, you won't believe me."

"You can leave now." Amado waved his hand, seemingly extremely disappointed in Shūichi.

He left on the Shūichi without the slightest hesitation.

Just after Shūichi left, Amado took another sip of coffee, revealing a shrewd and calculating look. "I've been rooted in you for many years, and have been your greatest asset. I don't believe you can easily give it up."

The Hokage's Office.

Shikamaru looked at Shinki and asked, "I heard you've already approved Amado's use of the Laboratory?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but I don't think he's a good person."

Shinki shrugged. "Goodness is relative. You know, his mind is full of the Shinobi World's most advanced technology. As long as he can create benefits for Konoha right now, I'm willing to consider him a benefactor. ( ´▽` )"

"Of course, I will have Katatsuke Raimon and the others strictly supervise his experiments."

Shikamaru: "Alright, as long as you have your own considerations."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. The patrol team found this on the Konoha Wall."

As Shikamaru spoke, he pulled out a photograph, which showed a strange black line!
