Naruto used Shinra Tensei, augmented with sealing power, to forcibly dispel Eida's Shinjutsu that was attempting to influence him.
The violent backlash rippled outward, and a moment of clarity flickered through the eyes of everyone nearby.
The Shinjutsu energy that had been affecting them was scattered by the sealing force.
Memories surged back into their minds.
The veins around Himawari's eyes subtly bulged as her bewildered gaze rapidly shifted between Eida, Kawaki, and Boruto.
Boom!!!
Just as everyone was still half-believing and half-doubting the memories resurfacing in their minds, a deafening roar erupted from the distance.
Eida instantly sensed danger and turned her head.
In that direction, she saw a young man dressed in blue and white standing silently, exuding an icy killing intent that sent a chill through her spine.
"Mitsuki…?"
That's right.
Mitsuki chose to trust the restored memories without hesitation and immediately entered Sage Mode.
He gave Eida no chance to react.
Raising his hand, he unleashed a thick, golden Lightning Release serpent.
The lightning roared as it tore through the air toward Eida, fierce and overwhelming.
Naruto naturally witnessed the entire scene.
Even though he had mentally prepared himself for Mitsuki's combat strength, he still found it outrageous.
What the hell?
Have all these kids evolved?
Instant Sage Mode?
Back in his time, how many people could achieve something like that?
Moreover, Mitsuki's Sage Mode was extremely pure, and his chakra output was terrifying.
He truly deserved to be called one of the new generation's Sannin.
Orochimaru's artificially cultivated genius—this must have been the ideal body Orochimaru envisioned.
However, while Mitsuki's Lightning Release was powerful, Eida was no ordinary person either.
She possessed the bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Facing Mitsuki's attack, she didn't counterattack. Instead, she calmly floated upward and evaded it.
The attack missed—but the pressure did not.
More problems followed immediately.
Daemon, the obsessively protective younger brother, instantly appeared at Eida's side, staring at everyone with a strange smile.
At the same time, Kawaki was also targeted.
Seeing this, Eida's Shinjutsu activated involuntarily once again.
An invisible, intangible force spread throughout the area.
As usual, Naruto neutralized it with sealing power.
But the others were not so fortunate.
Under the Shinjutsu's influence, their memories were altered once more…
Their hostility toward Eida and Kawaki vanished in an instant.
In the distance, Sasuke had already shaken off Boruto and headed toward the Dragon Vein, choosing to wait for Naruto there.
Boruto remained where he was, letting out a sigh.
"So that's how it is…"
Boruto said with mild disappointment.
"Wasn't this just a waste of my time?"
Moments earlier, Sasuke had told him everything.
They were not from this world—but visitors from another one.
Realizing that Sasuke had no intention of helping him, Boruto stopped pestering him.
Boruto was unaware of what was happening on Naruto's side.
Instead, his curiosity toward Naruto grew even stronger.
Because… this was another timeline.
No—more accurately, a father from an entirely different world.
And based on Boruto's understanding, his own father did not possess abilities anywhere near the Naruto standing before him.
Just as Boruto was about to approach, a terrified scream echoed in his mind:
"Run! Stay away from that thing!"
"…What?"
Boruto was confused.
By now, he had trained with his master for quite some time, and although Sasuke had been captured because of it, Boruto had gained a deeper understanding of the Ōtsutsuki.
The being residing within him was Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki.
An Ōtsutsuki whose status even surpassed that of the legendary progenitor of chakra—Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Yet at this moment, Momoshiki—normally calm and arrogant—was desperately urging him to stay away from Naruto.
"Why?" Boruto asked.
Momoshiki took a deep breath and warned him urgently,
"If I die, you won't survive either! Get away from him—now!"
The Ōtsutsuki Clan had dominated the universe for countless years.
Even if Momoshiki wasn't at the very top, he was far from insignificant.
Yet now, after witnessing countless worlds, Momoshiki felt an indescribable fear toward Naruto.
The Ōtsutsuki believed themselves omniscient—there was no such thing as the "unknown."
But Naruto was something Momoshiki simply couldn't comprehend.
That was why he referred to Naruto as that thing.
However, Boruto was not about to obey.
He ignored Momoshiki's near-pleading voice and continued forward.
Elsewhere, Naruto observed the reactions of the young ninja around him with interest.
Finally, he spoke to Eida.
"An interesting ability."
"But unfortunately… you're not a true Ōtsutsuki."
"You're merely a technological byproduct."
Though Naruto made no aggressive moves, Eida felt a deep sense of danger.
Being noticed by a powerful and incomprehensible existence was never a good thing.
Fortunately, someone intervened.
Boruto arrived.
"What's your purpose here?"
He wasted no words and directly questioned Naruto.
Sarada felt Boruto's attitude was somewhat disrespectful, but she stayed silent.
Because Boruto's wording was strange.
'You all'?
Who was he referring to?
Naruto shifted his gaze from Eida to Boruto.
Seeing his future son speak this way only strengthened Naruto's resolve to thoroughly investigate the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
"As Sasuke told you, we come from another world."
"No—more accurately, from different worlds."
"In short, we are not the people you're familiar with."
Everyone else fell silent, trying to process his words.
Except Boruto.
Boruto spoke calmly, "If you want to understand the Ōtsutsuki, then stay here. Our world is already a mess because of them—and I have one inside me, too."
In his mind, the Ōtsutsuki were counted as "units."
Inside him, Momoshiki nearly exploded with rage.
Yet things developed exactly as Momoshiki expected.
He was certain Naruto would capture him after discovering his existence.
But Naruto… didn't.
Why?
Was it because Naruto knew Boruto was his son in another world?
Heh.
How boring—family bonds.
Humans really were a restricted species.
Thinking this, Momoshiki's fear eased slightly.
Naruto nodded. "Of course."
Looking at Boruto, Naruto thought to himself: Since this kid is cooperative, I'll deal with the Ōtsutsuki inside him later.
"Do you have any leads?" Naruto asked.
"If not, I'll have to start from scratch."
Before he finished speaking, Naruto's gaze swept across Kawaki, Eida, and Daemon.
In his perception, all three were connected to the Ōtsutsuki.
Boruto didn't understand Naruto's true strength and worried Naruto might target Eida, triggering retaliation from the Ōtsutsuki—just like what happened to Sasuke.
So he immediately shared what he knew.
"Code uses the Divine Tree to create monsters."
"After years of training, I believe the situation between him and me has reversed."
"As long as we find Code, we'll find the Divine Tree."
"But my fight with him earlier was interrupted, and I couldn't leave a mark on him."
"A mark?" Naruto asked, surprised.
"Have you mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
Boruto simply hummed in response.
To him, it felt natural.
Naruto, however, was stunned.
He raised his hand and pressed it on Boruto's head, praising him,
"Not bad… very talented… truly—never mind."
He didn't even have a son yet.
But imagining a genius son was enough to make him smile.
At least such a kid wouldn't be bullied by nobodies.
Boruto's expression turned awkward.
After all, Naruto looked almost the same age as him.
Naruto coughed lightly, withdrew his hand, and said,
"That monster controller—Code, right? I'll find him."
Boruto shook his head.
"No. You have to wait for him to appear and then place a Flying Thunder God—huh?"
Under everyone's gaze, Naruto slowly closed his eyes.
A sensing ability beyond comprehension spread outward.
Eida, with her Byakugan, showed a look of terror.
She could see what others couldn't.
At that moment, Naruto's perception manifested as a massive crimson barrier in her vision.
It enveloped every celestial body within the Ninja World.
As long as one remained on this planet—
There was no escaping Naruto's awareness.
Momoshiki sensed it as well.
His teeth ached as he muttered,
"What kind of monster is this…?"
Even for the Ōtsutsuki Clan, searching an entire planet was no easy task.
Yet Naruto did it effortlessly.
Alright… alright…
So the Ōtsutsuki being called gods was just a joke.
You're the real cheat here, aren't you?
