"Damn it, they didn't want to capture her." Kawaki kicked an enemy away and retreated to Kiyomi, "They wanted to blow her up!"
"Detonate?" Boruto was stunned.
"Treat her as a bomb and detonate it here. The energy generated will be enough to wipe out this forest and us together!" Kawaki shouted, "Kiyomi, control it! Don't let that force rush out!"
"I... can't... control..." Kiyomi's voice was trembling.
The world in front of her has turned blood red. The voice keeps echoing in her mind. "Release, destroy, this is your mission."
Is this my destiny? To be a bomb and kill this group of people I just met and are willing to share food with me?
No.
Kiyomi's fingers dug deeply into the soil.
"I... I want to eat... potato chips." She muttered incoherently. That was the only "human" thought she could grasp at this time.
"Ha?" Kawaki was stunned for a moment, then a ferocious smile appeared on his lips, "If you want to eat it, just hold it back! If it's fried, you won't have anything to eat!"
He suddenly grabbed Kiyomi's arm.
"Wedge, absorb!"
Kawaki tried to suck away the rampant Chakra inside Kiyomi's body. But this time the energy was too huge and violent. As soon as it came into contact, blue smoke came out of Kawaki's arm, and his skin began to carbonize.
"Kawaki!" Seeing this, Boruto didn't care about any tactics and just rushed over. Rasengan said, "I'm here to help too!"
"Don't cause trouble! This energy is poisonous!" Kawaki gritted his teeth.
At this time, the enemy's encirclement was getting smaller and smaller. The sound emitted by the rotating disks had turned into ultrasonic waves that could not be heard by the naked ear, and the surrounding trees began to shatter silently.
"Sarada, Mitsuki, cover me!" Boruto didn't listen to Kawaki. As soon as he Shadow Clone came out, he used the force to jump into the air.
"What are you going to do?" Sarada shouted.
"Interrupt their ensemble!" An extremely compressed Rasengan appeared in Boruto's hand, but instead of throwing it out, he actually injected Wind Release Chakra into it.
"Wind Release·Rasengan·Noise version!"
Boruto smashed Rasengan hard on the ground.
Boom!
There was no violent explosion, but an extremely harsh and irregular explosion. It was Boruto imitating Otogakure's move and using the air turbulence created by Wind Release.
Gibberish versus gibberish.
The enemy's precise sound wave array was instantly disrupted by this rogue noise. The neat and uniform Resonance was broken.
Kiyomi felt the pressure on his heart suddenly lighten.
"Now!" Sarada seized the opportunity, "Mitsuki!"
"Understood."
Mitsuki opened the corner of Sage Mode at an astonishing speed. He and Sarada were like two bolts of lightning, rushing into the chaotic enemy formation. Chidori's chirping and the hiss of snake thunder intertwined, accurately shattering one rotating disc after another.
Without the Resonance source, the remaining enemies' movements become slow and stiff.
Kawaki let go of Kiyomi's hand, and his palm was completely burnt.
"Can you still move?" he asked breathlessly.
Kiyomi got up from the ground. Although her body was still shaking, her eyes had returned to clarity. She looked at the struggling mechanical soldiers around her, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.
"Yes."
She took a deep breath and formed a seal with her hands that she had never seen before.
"Since you want Resonance, I'll give it to you."
She gathered all the remaining restlessness Chakra in her throat and let out a scream at the remaining enemies.
This is not ninjutsu, this is pure energy release.
The red sound wave was like a materialized ocean wave, instantly sweeping across the fan-shaped area ahead. Those mechanical soldiers that were still trying to restart directly disintegrated into fragments under the impact of this power derived from "Zero-Tails".
The world is quiet.
Kiyomi's body softened and fell forward.
He didn't fall into the mud, but landed on a somewhat uncomfortable back.
"It's really troublesome." Kawaki carried her behind his back and said in a disgusting tone, "It's too heavy."
"Those are muscles." Kiyomi retorted weakly, burying his face on Kawaki's shoulder, "Also, thank you."
Boruto jumped down from the tree, looking disgraced, but smiling happily, "It's a good cooperation! It's just that my ears are going deaf."
"Idiot Boruto, who asked you to use such random moves?" Sarada rubbed his temples, "But... well done."
The journey back is much longer than the journey here.
Kiyomi lay on Kawaki's back, her consciousness coming and going intermittently. The feeling of exhaustion after the explosion flooded her like a tide. She could feel Kawaki's body temperature and the slightly stiff rhythm of his walking - his right hand was seriously injured.
"Let me down." Kiyomi whispered, "I can walk by myself."
"Shut up." Kawaki didn't stop, "If you fainted in the middle, I would have to drag you, which would be even more troublesome."
Boruto walked in front to clear the way, holding a branch in his hand and waving it constantly, as if he was driving away non-existent mosquitoes, but in fact he was trying to cover up some anxiety.
"Hey, Kawaki." Boruto suddenly said, "If the situation just now continues for a few more seconds, what will you do?"
"What to do?"
"That's if Kiyomi is really going to explode." Boruto stopped and looked back at him.
Kawaki was silent for a few seconds, with gloomy eyes. "Then cut off her hand."
Kiyomi flinched on his back.
"You're kidding." Kawaki snorted, "I will use a wedge to absorb all that energy, even if I burst myself. Anyway, I picked up this life."
"Don't say such depressing words." Sarada came over and handed Kawaki a bottle of water, "We are a team, and we will face death together."
"Who is in the same team as you?" Although Kawaki was adamant, he still took the water, raised his head and took a sip, and then handed it to Kiyomi on his back, "Drink."
Kiyomi took the water bottle, with his body temperature still on the bottle mouth. She took a small sip, and her dry throat was relieved.
"The enemy this time is very strange." Mitsuki suddenly said, holding a fragment removed from the mechanical soldier in his hand, "This is not an ordinary Chakra driver, there are remnants of biological tissue in it. It's like... melting a person into a machine."
This sentence made everyone feel a chill.
"Shennong's technology." Kiyomi whispered, "Use living people as batteries and stuff them into iron cases. This way you can bypass the restrictions of Chakra and achieve pain-free and fear-free killing."
"How disgusting." Chocho didn't know when she would say such a thing, but at this moment Boruto said it for her, "What do these guys think of human life?"
"As fuel." Kiyomi's voice was very soft, "Just like me before."
The atmosphere became heavy again.
When we returned to Leaf, it was completely dark.
