"Boruto!?"
Seventh's eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly in extreme shock and ecstasy.
There were still tears and snot hanging on his face, which looked a little funny and sad at the same time.
Hinata Seeing this, he quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and quickly wiped the snot and tears from his husband's face.
Her eyes were also red, and she had obviously experienced great sorrow and joy just now, but at this moment, her eyes were firmly fixed on the son who was helped down from the roof, covered in blood but still smiling.
"Boruto..."
Hinata's voice was choked with sobs, but it was full of the great joy of regaining something. "It's great that you're okay... it's great..."
She covered her mouth and tried not to cry out, but the tears still flowed down uncontrollably.
"Ah, mom, don't cry."
With the support of Wood Clone from Young Naruto, Boruto staggered and jumped in front of Parents.
Although his face was pale and his breath was weak, he seemed to be in good spirits and even had the heart to joke.
He lifted up his bloody and torn clothes to reveal his uninjured belly and explained:
"Momoshiki That guy is still in my body. If I die, he will never be able to resurrect. So at the critical moment, he used the power of the wedge to help me heal my injuries."
"So, don't worry! I'm fine!"
Boruto tried his best to straighten his back, showed his familiar smile to Parents again, and gave a thumbs up.
Young Naruto took two steps forward, walked to Boruto, reached out and patted his shoulder.
Boruto is now a blessing in disguise. If the wedge is incomplete, Momoshiki cannot be resurrected on Boruto.
This saves Young Naruto from finding ways to deal with the changes caused by the plot change.
"Stop playing tricks."
Young Naruto's voice returned to its usual calmness.
"Although the injury has been temporarily stabilized by the 'wedge', we have lost too much blood and need to take a good rest. In addition..."
He paused and turned his eyes to the side. There, Shadow Clone of Seventh was still suppressing Kawaki, while Kawaki was lying on the ground expressionlessly, as if he was indifferent to everything around him.
"Kawaki's solution is left to you."
Young Naruto looked at Boruto with a calm tone.
"Eh? Me?"
Boruto was stunned for a moment, pointed to his nose, a little confused, "Shouldn't it be left to dad to handle? He is Hokage."
Taking action against his companions, there is no doubt that Kawaki has constituted the behavior of "Rogue Ninja".
Rogue Ninja is usually directly ordered to be handled by Hokage, or tasks are issued by Hokage's Office, and ANBU or the designated Jonin executes the pursuit or execution.
"I'm afraid Seventh will be soft-hearted."
Young Naruto spoke bluntly and glanced at Seventh, who was still struggling in pain, "So, what about you?"
He put the question back to Boruto.
"Mr. Yōya, do you think I will be cruel?"
Boruto did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically. His smile faded a little, his eyes became a little complicated, and he looked at Kawaki who was suppressed not far away.
That was his brother, the companion he had fought alongside and was even willing to sacrifice his life for.
Even if he now knows that Kawaki attacked him and even tried to attack Parents, it is still difficult for Boruto to make an immediate and cold verdict.
Young Naruto looked at the struggle and hesitation in Boruto's eyes and was not surprised.
"Seventh will blame himself for not teaching Kawaki well."
Young Naruto said slowly, his voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"He will take the responsibility on himself, feel pain, hesitate, and want to give Kawaki a chance to change his ways."
He paused, his eyes became sharp, and he stared at Boruto:
"But, Boruto."
"After I finish attacking you, I will immediately come over to attack you Parents Kawaki..."
"Will you still consider him your brother?"
This question was like a heavy hammer, hitting Boruto's heart hard.
Brother?
The one who stabbed the knife into his abdomen without hesitation, the one who planned to seal himself Parents, the one who was so twisted that he didn't hesitate to hurt everyone for the so-called "protection" Kawaki... can he still be called a brother?
Boruto was silent.
He lowered his head and looked at the holes and blood stains on the clothes on his abdomen, then raised his head and looked at Kawaki, who was suppressed not far away but still had cold eyes.
The night wind blew through his Golden hair, bringing a hint of coolness.
Seventh and Hinata also held their breath and looked at their son nervously.
They knew that this decision was too cruel for Boruto.
But they also understand that Young Naruto is right.
Some decisions must be made by Boruto himself.
The thing called growth is so cruel.
Time seems to have frozen at this moment.
After a long time, Boruto slowly raised his head.
There was no hesitation or struggle in his eyes anymore, replaced by a deep calm that was mixed with pain and determination.
"I..."
"No."
He looked at Young Naruto and said seriously:
"From the moment he stabbed me with the knife, from the moment he targeted my parents, he was no longer my brother."
"He is the enemy."
"It's Rogue Ninja who hurt his family and betrayed the village."
"So..."
Boruto took a deep breath and turned to his father, Seventh Hokage, with firm eyes:
"Mr. Yōya, please handle it according to the rules of the village. I have no objection."
After saying that, Boruto seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his body swayed, and was quickly supported by Hinata next to him.
Seventh looked at his son's determined and painful eyes, and felt like a knife was twisting in his heart.
But he also knows that this is the pain that Boruto must go through in order to grow, and it is also a difficult decision that must be made.
He nodded slowly, his voice heavy and hoarse:
"I understand. ANBU!"
Following Seventh's command, several black shadows appeared around, none other than Anbu Ninja.
Young Naruto glanced at them, ANBU will have to carry out reforms when they go back!
These guys are completely an atmosphere group in the village and don't care about them at all.
There was such a big movement just now, not a single one of these guys showed up, and there were other Ninja and Military Police Force in the village.
They are all just eating dry food!
The movement just now was so loud that not even a single Sensing Ninja used the Sensing technique.
Is this okay?
"Take Kawaki into Konoha Maximum-Security Prison and keep him under strict supervision, pending subsequent interrogation and judgment!"
Seventh closed his eyes and gave the order with difficulty.
"Yes!"
ANBU took the order and stepped forward to take the completely restrained Kawaki from the hands of Seventh Shadow Clone, quickly took it away and disappeared into the night.
Kawaki did not resist or speak from the beginning to the end. He just glanced at Boruto one last time before being taken away. The look in his eyes was so complicated that people could not understand it.
The crisis seems to have been temporarily resolved.
But everyone knows in their hearts that the scars and impact of this incident are far from over.
Young Naruto looked at Kawaki who was taken away by ANBU, then looked at Boruto who was nestling in his mother's arms with a pale face, and Seventh who looked tired and painful, and sighed silently in his heart.
There seem to be more troubles in this world than imagined.
And he must take Otohime, Little Hinata, and Little Hanabi as soon as possible and leave this place of right and wrong.
But before leaving, he asked for Ada's "Clairvoyance" and "Divine Technique·Omnipotence".
