Chapter 124 A Stab That Was Too Ruthless
After Gaara and Pakura clashed over a single word, Sasuke and the others naturally couldn't stand idly by.
But the next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa instantly stepped forward and blocked their way.
Regardless, Yekura is still an ally of the Akatsuki organization.
More importantly, there is information that Shiba Kiyokawa absolutely needs to confirm!
Therefore, he would not hesitate to risk facing Boruto's Sasuke, who has already surpassed the Kage level!
"Halt, everyone."
He stopped Sasuke and Hyuga Hanabi, but he didn't force them; instead, he cleverly used an excuse.
"This is their Sunagakure village's internal affair. If you all rashly interfere, the situation will be completely different."
Don't forget, Sunagakure and Konoha are still at war!
Upon hearing this, Sasuke and Hyuga Hanabi hesitated and stopped in their tracks.
Boruto hurriedly ripped off his headband and secretly hid it behind his back, then foolishly pretended to be clueless and asked a question in return.
"How did you know we were Konoha ninjas?"
Now, not only Shiba Kiyokawa, but even Sasuke and Hyuga Hanabi beside him were amused by his stupidity.
What's the difference between this and burying your head in the sand?
"Byakugan and Sharingan, as far as I know, there is no other place in the ninja world that can have both of these bloodline limits at the same time."
Shiba Kiyokawa explained with a smile.
The Loulan Queen behind her added insult to injury, "Besides, you said you were Konoha ninjas when you came, and I've already told these friends from the Land of Rain about that."
Boruto blushed, so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground...
Fortunately, Sasuke, the pillar of strength, remained calm and even extracted the key information from the conversation.
"You come from the Land of Rain?"
They had subconsciously assumed that the visitors were all Sand Village ninjas.
The result was unexpected.
After obtaining the crucial information about the Land of Rain, Sasuke looked at Konan, the paper-winged angel who had just saved Sara, and his pupils instantly contracted, as if he had thought of some terrible conjecture.
People from the Land of Rain... Wings made of paper...
Could it really be that organization?
This reaction was observed by Shiba Kiyokazu.
So he finally spoke, asking the question that concerned him most—
"Yes, we come from the Land of Rain. My name is Shiba Kiyokawa. Haven't you heard of me?"
This information is crucial!
Because this can help Shiba Kiyokawa figure out whether the four people in front of him are from a parallel Boruto series or from the future of the current timeline!
This crucial intelligence will directly affect all his subsequent action plans!
"Shiba Kiyokawa?"
The moment Sasuke and Hyuga Hanabi both showed puzzled expressions, Shiba Kiyokawa finally felt much relieved.
While it cannot be 100% certain, it is highly likely that these people came from a parallel universe.
Not to boast, but if it were the future of this current timeline, even if he ultimately failed, he would never leave the people of Konoha without any impression of him!
Even if he ultimately fails to escape the convergence of the world lines, he will surely explode in the sky above the ninja world with the most magnificent fireworks before he dies.
He still has that much confidence!
Now, the only reaction from the people opposite them was a clear and utter bewilderment.
Shiba Kiyokazu instantly understood: the other party did not recognize him, and more likely, these people were characters from the original story.
"Then it seems your identities are indeed somewhat unusual."
While making excuses, he was also thinking about his next move.
Just then, Princess Sara of Loulan, who had been rescued by Xiao Nan after falling, finally recovered.
Upon hearing her mother say that the people of the Rain Kingdom had come to help them, Sarah immediately stood up and shouted to the people in the standoff.
"Everyone in Akatsuki, don't be fooled by those people! They're all bad guys! They want to seal away our Dragon Vein!"
The sound echoed across the battlefield, causing Sasuke and Hyuga Hanabi to frown in exasperation.
Things are getting more and more complicated.
But then Boruto exclaimed in surprise, "The Akatsuki? Isn't that the one mentioned in the textbooks—"
Before he could finish speaking, Hinata Hanabi swiftly covered his mouth.
"Don't expose yourself!"
This was enough to attract the attention of Konan and Nagato.
"Will Konoha's textbooks mention us?"
As more and more loopholes were exposed, Sasuke's usually stoic expression was starting to crumble.
"Please don't misunderstand, we really have no ill intentions. We sealed the dragon vein simply because that thing is indeed too dangerous; it has the potential to disrupt spacetime!" Sasuke tried to explain.
However, Shiba Kiyokawa more keenly perceived the cracks in the scene—the experiences of these people were completely different from those in the theatrical version!
They didn't even gain the trust of the local people of Loulan!
It's important to know that in the original theatrical version, Konoha represented absolute justice, and Naruto and Sara went through thick and thin together in the film.
But now the situation seems different. These people are clearly not closer to the dragon vein than our side because of their first-mover advantage!
Shiba Kiyokawa immediately realized that this might be an opportunity he could take advantage of!
"Even if it is dangerous, it is not Konoha's responsibility to take responsibility for it, is it?"
"Is Konoha some kind of ninja world police force? Why do you have the authority to manage everything in the ninja world?"
His words left Sasuke speechless.
At this moment, they increasingly felt the constraints that the current state of time and space imposed on them.
In his era, it would have been perfectly natural for Konoha to interfere in anything in the entire ninja world.
But things are different now!
"And what about you? Why is your Land of Rain meddling in our affairs?" Hinata Hanabi asked.
Shiba Kiyokawa chuckled, "This is the territory of the Land of Wind. We were invited by the Kazekage to resolve this dispute. Is that reason sufficient?"
They completely suppressed them once again!
Hinata Hanabi was also defeated and speechless.
Shiba Kiyokawa secured a double kill!
"So please 'go back,' fellow Konoha ninjas. Go back to your world; you are not welcome here."
Shiba Kiyokawa deliberately emphasized the word "return," thinking that the other party would understand his implication.
However, there were things he hadn't considered—
He didn't know that Sasuke and the others' time travel machine had run out of power at this point.
Taking a deep breath, Sasuke finally hardened his voice, "I'm afraid that won't work, Shiba Kiyokawa. We must borrow and seal the Dragon Vein. You will understand in the future; this is all for the sake of ensuring the normal continuation of history!"
At this moment, Shiba Kiyokazu's gaze also darkened.
Unwilling to back down? Where did things go wrong?
What exactly is the purpose of their visit? He suddenly felt a pang of regret; why hadn't he watched Boruto?
Since reasoning won't work, how about we do something hurtful to force the other person to leave?
He immediately began slowly and deliberately, "What do you mean by 'normal continuation'? Who defines 'normal'?"
If fate were to wipe out your entire family, would you, in order to perpetuate that fate, personally hand a knife to your enemy and lead the way?
At that moment, the power of words was incredibly effective!
This was the first time Boruto had ever seen his usually calm, composed, and unflappable master Sasuke display such a terrifying and ferocious expression!
Even Hinata Hanabi, who was standing nearby, was somewhat frightened.
The killing intent that Sasuke unleashed in that instant was particularly terrifying!
That stab seemed a bit too brutal.
"Who exactly are you? And what do you know?!"
Sasuke practically spat out the question through gritted teeth.
At this moment, Shiba Kiyokawa secretly made a hand gesture to the back: Prepare to leave, don't fight here and destroy Loulan!
