This is not a lightning strike from the sky, but an instant short-circuit of the huge power system of the underground base, triggering a backlash of ultra-high voltage current.
Boom!
All the lights in the entire hall exploded, plunging into darkness. Immediately afterwards, a dull explosion sounded from deep underground, which was the sound of the power furnace being overloaded.
The black coat on "Naruto" flickered for a moment, as if it was disturbed by a strong magnetic field, and his movements became stiff for a moment.
"Now!"
The vent overhead suddenly burst open.
Two figures fell from the sky.
"Rasengan!"
"Wedge Release!"
Boruto and Kawaki, one on the left and one on the right, attacked the counterfeit at the same time.
Boruto's Rasengan had the property of "disappearing" and silently hit the impostor's lower back. Kawaki's arm turned into a huge sickle and slashed hard on its neck.
Bang!
The counterfeit was sent flying and crashed into a pile of rubble.
"Boruto? Kawaki?" Sasuke pulled out Black Rod from his shoulder and groaned, "Who asked you to come?"
"Dad asked us to come!" Boruto landed and stood in front of Sasuke, "Master, are you okay? This is too tragic."
"You can't die." Sasuke stood up and Chakra began to recover slowly, "Be careful, that guy is not an ordinary puppet."
In the ruins, the "Naruto" slowly stood up. Its neck was cut in half, but countless thin black threads were quickly sewing up the wound.
It looked at Boruto with a trace of confusion in its eyes.
"Son...?"
The sound is no longer the sound of metal friction, but becomes somewhat like the real Naruto.
"Data... matches... Uzumaki Boruto..." It held its head and seemed to be in pain, "Kill... no, protect... kill..."
"Its logic is confusing." Kawaki said coldly, "This is an inferior product. Although it is powerful, its brain is not good."
"Shut up!" Gen'ō screamed in the darkness, "It's perfect! Kill them! Now!"
"Naruto" suddenly looked up to the sky and roared.
At that moment, the black substance on its body completely exploded, turning into a huge black Demon Fox with nine tails. But this Demon Fox had no fur, only flowing Black Oil and countless rotating Sharingan.
"Tailed Beast Bomb!"
A huge black energy ball condensed in its mouth. In this closed Underground Space, this shot of Tailed Beast Bomb was enough to wipe out everyone and the mountain.
"Damn, this scale..." Sasuke gritted his teeth, preparing to forcefully open Perfect Susanoo.
"Master, use this!" Boruto suddenly threw a small box over, "Fang Zhu uncle gave it to me!"
Sasuke caught the box, that was... a USB flash drive?
No, it's an interface.
"That's a virus!" Boruto shouted, "Uncle Fang Zhu said that the core code of this thing was stolen and there must be a backdoor! Just plug it into its Chakra interface!"
"Chakra interface..." Sasuke looked at the violent black Demon Fox. At the core of its chest, there was a flashing red dot.
"Cover me." Sasuke didn't hesitate at all.
"Okay!" Boruto and Kawaki rushed forward at the same time.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Boruto transformed into dozens of clones and rushed towards Tailed Beast Bomb like moths to a flame, trying to detonate it in advance.
"Wedge·Absorb!" Kawaki opened his palms and desperately absorbed the overflowing Chakra, paving the way for Sasuke.
Sasuke took a deep breath and gathered all the last Lightning Release Chakra at his feet.
Body Flicker Technique.
He drew a zigzag line in the air, avoiding the frontal impact of Tailed Beast Bomb, and passed through the chaotic energy flow like a bolt of lightning.
The black Demon Fox sensed the danger and whipped its tails wildly.
Sasuke did not hide.
Phew! Phew!
Two tails ran through his abdomen and legs.
But he didn't even frown. With this force, he rushed forward and ran directly into Demon Fox's arms.
"It's over, fake."
Sasuke inserted the device hard into the core of Demon Fox's chest.
Drop--
A sharp electronic sound echoed through the hall.
The movement of the black Demon Fox was frozen instantly. The condensing Tailed Beast Bomb flashed twice and dissipated like a deflated rubber ball.
"No! No! My masterpiece!" Gen'ō shouted desperately.
The black substance on "Naruto" began to peel off crazily, revealing the pale and fragile clone inside. It looked at Sasuke, and the light in its heterochromatic pupils gradually dimmed.
"Sasuke..." It stretched out its hand, as if it wanted to touch Sasuke's face, "So... black..."
Then, it broke.
Like a broken porcelain doll, it turned into countless Light Spot and dissipated in the air. Only a burnt core fell to the ground, emitting black smoke.
Sasuke pulled out Black Rod from his body, half of his body stained with blood. He staggered and was supported by Boruto.
"Master! You lost a lot of blood!"
"Small injury." Sasuke pushed Boruto away and walked towards the old man paralyzed in the wheelchair.
Gen'ō is still pressing the controller frantically, but there is no response.
"Why... why did you lose..." the old man murmured, "The data is obviously perfect..."
"Because you only copied the power." Sasuke looked at him condescendingly, his eyes cold, "But you don't understand what a ninja is."
"Ninja?" Gen'ō suddenly laughed, with a sad smile, "Ninjas are tools! They are killing knives! You guys who keep talking about Bond are the aliens! Master Danzo is right! Only absolute control can bring peace!"
He pressed a red button on the armrest of his wheelchair.
"Then let's die together! The self-destruction system here is connected to the underground magma chamber!"
Rumble!
The entire base began to shake violently, and the rocks above began to collapse.
"Let's go!" Sasuke grabbed Gen'ō - after all, Naruto wanted to live.
"Kawaki, use wedge Gate of Opening!"
Kawaki nodded, waved his palm, and a space vortex appeared.
The moment the four people rushed into the whirlpool, the base behind them was engulfed in a sea of fire.
Konoha Hospital, top floor special care ward.
When Naruto pushed the door in, Sasuke was leaning on the bedside, peeling an apple with one hand. Although his body was covered with bandages, he seemed to be in good spirits.
"Hey, hero." Naruto put a basket of fruits on the bedside, "I heard that you were almost killed by a fake?"
"That's for testing the virus interface." Sasuke stuffed the peeled apple into his mouth, "As for you, how was your discussion with the two consultants?"
"Forget it." Naruto pulled up a chair and sat down with a tired look on his face, "Those two old guys were as slippery as loaches. They put all the blame on that "Gen'ō" and said he was a defector. But..."
Naruto took out a document from his arms and shook it.
"This is the retirement letter they signed. From now on, the advisory group will only have the right to make suggestions and not veto. Although they cannot be sent to prison, this is already the best result."
"It's an advantage for them." Sasuke snorted coldly.
"By the way," Naruto looked at Sasuke, "That impostor... did you say anything at the end?"
Sasuke's hand paused.
"He said, it's so dark."
There was silence in the room for a while.
"Really..." Naruto looked out the window, the sun was shining on the Leaf street, "That guy is also a pitiful person."
"That's a weapon." Sasuke corrected.
"I know." Naruto closed his eyes, "But as long as I have that face... I can't help but feel sad."
Sasuke looked at him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"This is your biggest weakness, the crane tail."
"Long talk."
Naruto stood up and stretched.
"Okay, I'm going back to work. Boruto and Kawaki have made great achievements this time. They are clamoring for barbecue, and my wallet is going to suffer again."
