[Blurred memory is normal. You do not exist in this era. The future has changed and you and your companions will disappear soon.
Even I, who should have gradually regained my strength as the wedge thawed, now gradually lost my perception of time and space...
Kid, your previous idea was right, go find Rinnegan, he exists in this era. Although he will still disappear if the final result is not changed, now, the impact on him is the lowest.]
Momoshiki kept beeping in Boruto's mind.
I've almost become a talker these days.
It can be seen that Ōtsutsuki is not afraid of death.
On the contrary, they make wedges for resurrection and plant trees to refine elixirs to extend their lifespan. Otsutsuki Clan are the most afraid of death.
"Mr. Sasuke should be right behind us."
Boruto could tell that Momoshiki just wanted to prevent himself from disappearing, but there was no way. Now the two of them were grasshoppers tied to a rope.
Not just the two of them, but also their future relatives and friends.
In order to save the entire future world, he has to cooperate with Momoshiki.
"... But, how to tell Mr. Sasuke?"
Boruto looked confused.
[Idiot, with his ability, he must have discovered the abnormality, what should I say? Just say it!]
[As for how to make him appear? It's very simple, kid, leave it to me, I will take the blame for you! Humph!]
Momoshiki The tone gradually began to develop in the direction of Tao Lama.
It can only be said that it is like this when two people have a common enemy and face life and death together.
If Madara and Obito did not want to capture Nine-Tails, the relationship between Nine-Tails and Naruto would not have a breakthrough development.
As for the method Momoshiki said, it is very simple, that is, do it again, this time take the initiative to expose him, so that Sasuke has to appear in front of Jiraiya to protect Boruto.
Boruto[Momoshiki Manifestation] came to Asuma Sarutobi's room quietly.
Tao Bo floated in mid-air, as if looking at an ant, raised a knife that came from the hotel owner's room, and seemed to be used to play with Aisu, and stabbed Asuma.
Bang.
The sleeping "Asuma" turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
"What?"
Momoshiki was shocked.
Ōtsutsuki's nemesis, Shadow Clone Jutsu, comes into play again.
"Drink!!!"
Asuma's main body holds Chakra Blade, which contains sharp Wind Release Chakra, and punches Momoshiki from behind.
It turned out that Asuma felt something was wrong when he found out that it was Jiraiya who reported the death of his father in person.
Especially when things have to wait until the next day, it shows how complicated the matter is.
Therefore, Asuma deliberately took precautions.
Unexpectedly, he actually waited for the enemy to attack.
"Oh, it's another Monkey."
Momoshiki raised his hand disdainfully and grabbed Chakra Blade from Asuma.
The wind attribute Chakra above was absorbed by Takami-Musubi-no-Mikoto, and Momoshiki returned the wind blade with double the backhand.
Tsk!
Boom.
Asuma was cut in half and fell to the ground.
Others heard the noise and came over, only to see the room that was divided into two halves, and Asuma, who was broken into two pieces and was lifeless.
Asuma still had a handful of his Chakra Blade stuck in his throat, and his hand wrote the word "him" on the ground.
It seems to be his last clue.
"What happened Kuo Lie."
Konohamaru rubbed his eyes, the last one came over.
"Go back to sleep and I'll tell you tomorrow."
Jiraiya stood in front of Konohamaru seriously and winked at Naruto.
Naruto nodded, laughed, and pulled Konohamaru back to the room.
Shikamaru looked at the scene in the room and trembled all over.
He couldn't control his emotions at all and wanted to scream loudly and cry.
But just now Jiraiya asked Naruto to take away Konohamaru. Shikamaru knew that he couldn't do this now and had to hold back, otherwise Konohamaru would definitely notice the abnormality.
"Shikamaru, calm down, our first goal now is to find the murderer."
Jiraiya patted Shikamaru on the shoulder.
Shikamaru slapped himself hard, then took a deep breath. "That's right, Lord Jiraiya."
After saying that, Shikamaru walked in and began to inspect the scene.
Jiraiya stood at the door, looking at the dark and deep corridor behind him, without interfering.
"The one who caused the fatal injury was Asuma, his own Wind Release... could it be that one?"
Shikamaru made an inference after checking it.
"What?"
Jiraiya asked.
"Our mission target for this trip is Jashin Cult. It is said that Jashin Cult has a forbidden technique that can feed back the damage it receives to the enemy simultaneously.
Asuma is holding Chakra Blade in his other hand. He has obviously launched an attack, but the injuries on his body were caused by his own Wind Release. This is completely..."
Shikamaru clenched his fists and analyzed.
"Your analysis is good, but unless the innkeeper is a believer of Jashin Cult, it does not hold true."
Jiraiya lightly rejected Shikamaru's analysis.
"Why?"
Shikamaru is puzzled.
"Because I have deployed Perception Barrier outside the hotel, I will notice it once an outsider breaks in, but from night to now, Perception Barrier has not been triggered once."
Jiraiya sighed, looking at the moonlight outside with some melancholy through the wall cut open by Wind Release Chakra.
His previous speculation was too arbitrary.
The result was a misjudgment that led to the death of Asuma.
"Lord Jiraiya, you mean..."
Shikamaru was extremely shocked and stood up tremblingly.
"There is only one truth. There is no external enemy at all. The murderer is among us."
Jiraiya looked back to the corridor.
Asuma The movement here was so loud that even Konohamaru was woken up just now and ran over.
The boss also came once and was driven away.
Only Boruto, why hasn't it appeared yet?
"There is also the word "him" on the ground. I haven't introduced that person to you yet, so Asuma doesn't know who that person is, so I can only use this word instead."
Jiraiya took out a Sealing Scroll from behind, stepped forward and handed it to Shikamaru.
"..."
After Shikamaru took it, he sealed Asuma's body and handed it to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya channeled a toad and asked the toad to bring Scroll back to Konoha.
Afterwards, the two of them sat down powerlessly in the room where the murder was committed, speechless all night.
Jiraiya gradually understood everything.
After knowing who the murderer was, he felt very puzzled, but no matter how unreasonable it was, there was only one possibility now.
At the same time, Jiraiya understood that the source of all this was that Tsunade failed to abide by the original agreement.
In fact, when Tsunade mentioned this matter to him and Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya felt that it was unnecessary to do so.
His understanding of Shirozumi mainly comes from the conversation on the roof of Four Violet Flames Formation and the description of Naruto.
In short, Jiraiya feels that Shirozumi can be trusted.
But Tsunade is Hokage. She wants to be cautious and think more, so Jiraiya can't say anything.
Jiraiya now regrets that he did not persuade Tsunade more.
