The Chapter kicks off with Shikamaru conversing with the Konoha Elders, Somehow Shikamaru got a feeling Naruto ain't dead yet, so he refrained from taking the title of the Eight Hokage of Konohagakure, instead he gave himself a time limit of 3 years to figure out, where exactly is Naruto, and to make it known to all that The Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure is Still Alive!
However, Shikamaru's time limit is up, and it's about time he takes over as the Eight Hokage, Moreover, if things continue like this, it won't appeal to the Feudal Lord, all in Konohagakure and also other Village. Also, the Konoha Elders Promted Shikamaru to Eliminate Boruto as soon as possible!, Because they all believe he is responsible for the Death of Naruto, and him being around only goes a long way to showcase the weakness of Konohagakure, Nonetheless, Shikamaru somewhat figured it all out!
Shikamaru went back to his office and immediately he was paid a visit by Ino, she(Ino) who he had instructed to gather all old Mission Records, she submitted the documents he asked for, Ino kept asking to know what his reasons were for seeking those old Mission Documents, don't forget Ino is the head of the sensory division, finally he tells all he knows to her, but before that, he told her not to share what he is about to tell her with anyone
In the meantime Eida was communicating with Kawaki, telling him about her encounter with Jura and his Team( The Awaken Consciousness of the Ten-Tails ), she informs Kawaki that she has no knowledge as to why they're gaining Consciousness, however, they are transforming into Something totally Different, Kawaki then asked about Code, because he believed code was taking absolute control over the Ten-Tails situation, Eida informed Kawaki that Code ran away because those monsters( the awaken consciousness of the Ten-Tails) are already on a level he can't handle, Eida also tells Kawaki that they are seeking not just to Devour Boruto and Him ( Kawaki ), somehow they are interested in Defeating and Devouring Lord Seventh ( Naruto )
Eida also tells Kawaki she doesn't know why they want to kill Naruto, However looking back at our last blog post, considering Jura got the likeness of Isshiki, it wouldn't be far fetch for us to say he somewhat got the Chakra's of Isshiki and inherited his will, that explains his instinctive drive to Devour Naruto
If Jura has full access to Isshiki's abilities, he could be able to access the Space where Kawaki hid Naruto, this goes a long way to explain why Jura is so confident in himself being able to Defeat and Devour Uzumaki Naruto.
Eida also tries to relay to Kawaki that her life is in Danger, remember, the Awaken consciousness of the Ten-Tails who took the likeness of Bug promised to Devour her, Regardless Kawaki care less about Eida's well-being, Meanwhile Daemon made use of the opportunity to remind Kawaki that the Secret of Lord Seventh Being Alive is only known by few, but if those monsters came looking for Naruto, Everyone would Notice the lie you told!
Kawaki went out and saw Mitsuki outside, he was pissed at him, however, Mitsuki reminded him, that's his duty, and if he has any issues with it, he should take it out with the Hokage (Shikamaru)
For the time being, Boruto was talking with both Sarada and Sumire, Sarada was acting shy about her hugging Boruto, As for Sumire she was happy Boruto seemed fine, because it's been over 3 years since they saw him, However Boruto was Glad Both Sumire and Sarada are Fine, he told them he is actively erasing his Chakra that's why he hasn't been found by Kawaki since he stepped into Konoha, However he made known he would be noticed sooner or later by Kawaki
Boruto immediately told Sarada what happened to his master, Sarada's Dad ( Sasuke ), that he was absorbed into Ten-Tails, Immediately Kawaki felt the presence of Boruto, meanwhile, Boruto explained Sasuke Sacrificed himself for him to escape from the Claw Grimes, Sumire asked what the Claw Grime deal is all about, he (Boruto) replied saying, the existence of ten tails is just to eat Chakra, with their instinct, it's Whoever it came across, till it finally eats and Ōtsutsuki, that Chakra will then make the Ten-Tails turn into a divine tree, that's basically how it was supposed to be, whereas for some reason they already are evolving into a Shinju (Juubi ), as to why or how, well it seems Code Chakra might be affecting it all this while, through the Claw Grime, Code is not an Ōtsutsuki but he has a Karma from Isshiki, that itself is a part of an Ōtsutsuki!, It may be one of the reasons why the Ten-Tails seem to have evolved into a Shinju (Juubi)
Sumire immediately noticed Boruto Karma acting strangely, she recognised it was a mind-body transmission technique, she thoroughly tells Boruto to answer without speaking, turns out it was Shikamaru, he informed Boruto that the conversation was not being tracked or detected, and it was all through the help of Ino herself, Shikamaru told Boruto to Run away from where he currently is, turns out he(Shikamaru) instructed Mitsuki to poison Kawaki and made him immobile for him to Confront Boruto himself, Boruto was rapped with Mitsuki Snake Technique, However, he escaped with Flying thundergod Technique (Minato Signature Technique) Mitsuki was attacking Boruto with his sage mode, and with the way he was talking to Sarada it seems he has made up his mind to defeat Boruto!
Mitsuki attacks Boruto once again with his sage Technique, However, Boruto replies with his own Purple lightning attacks, they fought a while, but Boruto seems not too interested in Defeating Mitsuki, so he tells Sarada that he promised to save Sasuke and all who turned into a tree and that he will come again, in the meantime he flew away, meanwhile as he flew he was communicating with Shikamaru, he told him he shouldn't have ordered Mitsuki to attack him, in his Defence he answered, the Elders of Konoha have instructed him to eliminate you no matter what, and Not only the village but a decision of the land of fire as a whole, so if he stops Mitsuki it wouldn't have made sense to the masses, due to that he can't help Boruto publicly!
Then Shikamaru asked aren't you actually Boruto Uzumaki, Shikamaru Said I Really can't accept this Genjustu, he wasn't aware why he'd said that, he also made it known he hadn't considered this before speaking with Amado, the possibilities that my own memories could be fake, however, the explanation to this is finally here! ( Referring to the document Ino submitted) , and if Kawaki and Boruto really switched each other's roles, it will all make sense, Shikamaru was persistent to hear Boruto's answer, However, Boruto was once again confronted by Mitsuki, and it seemed a battle between them is unavoidable!
