Boruto grabbed Hikari's hand. "Hikari, don't trust her. She's a ruthless, man-eating demon. She must want something from you."
"Hikari, come with me. Let's escape this place."
As Hikari struggled with the difficult choice, Boruto simply grabbed her hand and took her with him, fleeing the hell that was the Uchiha Clan.
To Boruto, Liao Wu was a demon even more terrifying than the Uchiha Clan Head. He was certain Liao Wu would treat Hikari with even less humanity.
"Hmph! Trying to escape?"
Liao Wu snorted. His Susanoo spread its wings and took to the sky, catching up with Boruto and Hikari.
"Hikari, you're mine!"
Liao Wu reached out with Susanoo's enormous hand to grab Hikari.
Against such power, Boruto had no way to resist.
He could only watch helplessly as Liao Wu was about to seize Hikari.
Move! Come on, body, move!
Boruto desperately screamed at his body, which had been paralyzed by his fear of Susanoo. Just then, something happened.
Boruto's body changed. Strange azure-blue markings appeared on his right arm and the right side of his face.
This was—Karma!
When a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was on the verge of death, he implanted Karma into a vessel for his reincarnation. The Karma on Boruto's body had been implanted by Momoshiki.
Karma's power made the vessel evolve toward becoming an Ōtsutsuki.
With Karma's power, Boruto reacted at the last possible instant. His speed increased dozens of times over, and he grabbed Hikari's hand, becoming a streak of shadow that swiftly vanished from Liao Wu's sight.
Liao Wu was a little surprised. "Karma? This kid Boruto can still pull out a sudden power boost?!"
The Uchiha Clan members caught up and prostrated themselves beneath Liao Wu's Susanoo.
"Please give us your orders, my lord!"
"After them!"
"Yes!"
