Youngsters These Days Sure Do Talk Big!

Oh no!

Only after firing the Tailed Beast Cannon did Killer B belatedly realize how bad things were.

Kawaki seemed to have been caught in his attack too!

He did want to kill Boruto Otsutsuki.

But he hadn't meant to kill Kawaki!

In Killer B's current memories, Kawaki was Jigen's son, just like Boruto was Naruto's son.

Even if the enemy was controlling him, he could never deliberately kill Naruto's kid.

"O-Orochimaru, you... you saved me?"

Kawaki clicked his tongue in surprise. Through Mitsuki, he had met Orochimaru before. They weren't close, but he knew the perverted genius was Konoha's chief scientist.

The impression and pressure
