A dazzling streak of golden light shot skyward from the wooden building in the backyard of the Hyuga Estate, like a meteor flying in reverse.
A terrifying pressure swept through nearly half of Konoha in an instant, like a tangible tsunami.
Countless sleeping villagers and ninja jolted awake, staring in terror toward the source of the golden light.
Young Naruto tore through the night sky like a golden meteor, racing straight toward his destination.
The home of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki!
At that very moment, outside the Seventh's front door...
Kawaki was about to reach out and push the door open.
His face was expressionless, his eyes cold and empty.
The dark red blood on his hands, not yet completely dry, stood out starkly in the moonlight.
He had dealt with Boruto according to plan.
Next, he needed to enter the house, find the Seventh and his wife, and temporarily seal them away with the power of Black Eyes.
Omnipotence was indeed powerful, but Ada was not Otsutsuki Shibai.
The divine technique she used, Omnipotence, could not alter the perceptions of the target's blood relatives, Otsutsuki, or Otsutsuki vessels.
So, before eliminating all the Otsutsuki in the shinobi world, Kawaki had to seal away the Seventh and his wife to prevent them from stopping him.
The changes Kawaki had asked Ada to make with her divine technique were:
Kawaki was the biological son of the Seventh and his wife.
Boruto was the adopted son they had taken in.
Boruto had killed the Seventh and his wife.
Of course, Omnipotence only changed the perceptions of people in the shinobi world, not reality. Kawaki still needed to deal with the Seventh and his wife himself.
Thus, once Boruto's "body" was discovered, Kawaki would step forward and claim he had killed Boruto
