"This is way too easy!"
Boruto watched as Karot effortlessly defeated Urashiki, giving Boruto the feeling that he could do the same. However, Boruto also knew how formidable Urashiki was.
"It seems very simple."
Naruto replied, "Less than ten minutes have passed since Karot appeared. Seven of those minutes were spent dodging Urashiki's attacks, so it's only been about three minutes at most. Jiraiya, on the other hand, fought for a full half day and gained nothing, plus a lot of them got injured. You really can't compare people!"
Urashiki staggered to his feet, his head still spinning. His West City was blurry. Urashiki shook his head, trying to clear his head.
"No need to look anymore, I'm here."
Just as Urashiki was looking around for him, Karot spoke up. Following the direction Karot was speaking, Urashiki looked over and saw Karot leaning lazily against a big tree.
"I never imagined there was someone as powerful as you on this planet."
"You may be praising me now, but I won't hold back when I take action later."
Karot's words choked Urashiki, preventing him from saying what he was about to say.
However, Urashiki, being a member of the Otsutsuki clan, wanted to beg for mercy, but his bloodline forbade him to do so.
"There are many beings in my clan stronger than me. If I die here, they will come to avenge me. Although you are powerful, you will definitely not be able to stop them."
Urashiki said confidently, "I don't want to die here."
"I am well aware of the reputation of your Otsutsuki; you plant trees all over the universe! It's even better if they can come; it saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one."
Karot doesn't know the coordinates of the Otsutsuki clan yet, otherwise he would have gone there long ago. This clan has the blood of countless lives on their hands, and they have destroyed one inhabited planet after another for their own selfish interests.
"How dare you! Do you know what you're saying?"
Urashiki never imagined that Karot would be so audacious as to have such a thought.
Then, Urashiki Shizhuo added.
"Even if you're not afraid, what about your friends and family? Can they survive an attack from the Otsutsuki?"
Urashiki tried to persuade Carrot by appealing to family and friendship. He told Karot that as long as Karot didn't intend to kill him now, Urashiki would leave as soon as his injuries healed. He believed that he was determined to leave, and no one here except Karot could stop him. After all, Karot couldn't keep an eye on him all the time.
"When did you develop this misconception that your people are my match?"
These words rang in Urashiki's ears, and Urashiki's eyes widened. He hadn't even realized when Karot had come to his side. They had just been leaning against the tree.
"You know what? I hate it when people threaten me, especially when they threaten my family and friends. You've done both, so what am I supposed to do?"
Although Karot said it casually, the meaning behind his words sent a chill down Urashiki's spine.
Karot placed his hand on Urashiki's shoulder.
"Boom."
Urashiki felt an immense force squeezing him into the earth. Every cell in his body trembled. Urashiki could only watch helplessly as his body was driven into the ground like a nail. In the end, only Urashiki 'Urashiki head remained outside.
"Knock off."
Karot clapped his hands, as if because Urashiki's shoulders were covered in dirt.
"That's it?"
The previously formidable Urashiki was easily defeated by Karot, much to Obito's dismay. Although he knew Urashiki would lose as soon as Karot appeared, he hadn't expected it to be so quick. "You could at least have held out a little longer! It would have been better if Karot had put in more effort," Obito thought, "I didn't expect you to be so pathetic." Karot's intervention dampened Karot's enthusiasm for Obito him to a duel. After all, Obito wasn't stupid; he wouldn't knowingly go and get beaten up.
"He truly lives up to his reputation as Brother Karot!"
As Konoha's number one Karot fan, Might Guy naturally had to express his feelings after Karot defeated Urashiki.
"So this is the Otsutsuki!"
Orochimaru approached Urashiki, licked his lips, and his eyes seemed to glow green.
Urashiki felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing Orochimaru's actions. He sensed a coldness emanating from Orochimaru. This was a feeling he only experienced when facing danger, but in Urashiki's eyes, Orochimaru's strength was nothing special. Yet, for some reason, Orochimaru felt a sense of disgust whenever Urashiki looked at him.
Orochimaru examined the specimen up close, growing increasingly satisfied. He'd only ever encountered it in the office before, but now he was experiencing firsthand the vibrant life force of the Otsutsuki clan. Wasn't this the perfect experimental subject he'd been searching for?
"Orochimaru, you're not going to...?"
Jiraiya didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present was an idiot. Considering Orochimaru's past actions, they all knew what Orochimaru was planning.
"Yes! He's not from our Ninja World, and he won't die, so you don't need to worry."
Orochimaru's standards have risen; he won't accept anyone who doesn't have a special constitution. The heavens have even delivered the Otsutsuki to him. It would be a disservice not to experiment with them.
"Snort."
Tsunade snorted, but she didn't object. After all, Orochimaru would ultimately benefit from Konoha's actions.
"Sasuke- san, what exactly is the Fourth Hokage planning?"
Boruto was quite confused, but Sasuke was the only person he was truly familiar with here.
"Hmm? The Fourth Hokage is just thinking about how to imprison Urashiki."
Having trained under Orochimaru, Sasuke naturally knew what Orochimaru was planning, but he still decided to keep it from Boruto. After all, this was a topic unsuitable for children.
"Why choose to imprison him instead of killing him?"
In Boruto's mind, a villain is only a good villain if he gets killed. Adults, on the other hand, only experience gains and losses.
"Shisui, it's your turn to perform."
Karot grabbed Urashiki's head and lifted him out of the ground.
"Are we going to use Kotoamatsukami?"
Sasuke guessed that Kotoamatsukami was Ninjutsu with the title of the number one Genjutsu, capable of altering a person's thoughts.
"Do you want to turn Urashiki into a member of Konoha?"
Sasuke realized Orochimaru's plan, and his expression changed drastically.
"Mr. Sasuke, are you alright?"
Seeing the change in Sasuke's expression, Boruto asked with concern.
Upon hearing Boruto's words, Karot glanced at Sasuke. Sasuke was drenched in cold sweat.
"I'm fine."
Sasuke dared not voice his guess, since no one else knew the secret of Shisui's Sharingan.
"Don't come any closer!"
When Urashiki saw Shisui approaching, his intuition told him that something terrible was about to happen.
