Naruto and Sasuke are doing nothing; Madara and I will set an example.

"open!!!"

Undeterred, they tried again and again.

"Open it for me!!!"

Of course, it's impossible to succeed... Even if she could replicate the seal with her Sharingan, she didn't sign a 'contract' with the Peach Blossom Gate for summoning.

After her attempts failed, Sarada walked to the mountain wall, her eyes darting around, trying to find something like a 'door-opening mechanism'... but there was nothing on the cold stone wall except for the cold stone itself.

This won't do; I can't waste my time here...

A feeling of helplessness churned within her.

"Is anyone home...? Open the door!!"

"Save Boruto! Boruto is in danger!!"

"Open the door, please open the door! Please!!"

"Open the door and let me in! Please! Hurry up!!"

"Obito! Are you there! You're here, right! You suddenly appeared outside the training ground! You're here, you must be here, right!"

No response...

"Aa ...

"Crack!" She released the lightning of Chidori into her hand and began to launch a frenzied attack on the mountain wall in front of her!

She actually pinned her hopes on using this method... to attract the attention of the people in Peach Blossom Spring!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Crack! Crack! Rumble!

Beneath the scarred mountainside, Sarada collapsed to her knees amidst the scattered rubble... Her knees were raw and bleeding profusely, her clothes were tattered, and her exposed skin was covered with cuts from flying stones.

When the lightning on her right hand dissipated, Sarada's last thought was shattered!

She screamed in despair, "If this continues, I'll lose Boruto... Please, it's all my fault! I know I was wrong!! Anyone will do!!! Please open the door!!"

"Swish, swish, swish!" Just then, a white Zetsu appeared from behind.

Actually, it wanted to show itself a minute earlier, but it was scared away.

I thought to myself: The lightning finally dissipated. I was so afraid she'd lose control and rush up and kill me. That was terrifying...

Composing himself, Bai Jue asked, "What are you doing here?"

"!!" Sarada's unfocused pupils lit up, and she whirled around, grabbing the White Zetsu's shoulder tightly and shaking him, yelling, "Open the door!! Hurry and open the door!!! Otherwise, it'll be too late!!!"

That was incredibly strong! My head almost got shaken off!

"Calm down, what's too late!"

"Boruto! Boruto is in danger! His life is in danger!"

"Boruto...who was that again?"

"You saw it, Boruto and I were there!!!"

"Sorry, the person you saw last time might not have been me..."

"Anyone will do!! Open the door now, or I'll die here!!!!" Sarada pulled out a kunai and pressed it against her own neck with trembling hands.

The sharp blade cut through the skin, and blood immediately seeped out...

Her logic had completely gone haywire; she was even planning to threaten us with her own life to force us to open the door, putting me in a somewhat passive position...

However, it's clear that it's almost done steaming; steaming it any longer would have been fatal...

"I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush. Let me inform the people inside..."

"Hurry, hurry up and go!!!!!!!!!"

White Zetsu burrowed underground.

In fact, let alone a notification, this outer array White Zetsu No. 14 has always been there, monitoring the development of the situation in real time, and through the inner array White Zetsu No. 14 sharing intelligence, it has allowed Chen to keep track of everything happening in this ditch.

Yes, it was just pretending to report it.

"Buzz!" Thirty seconds later, the gate to Peach Blossom Spring opened with a rumble!

"Whoosh!" Sarada burst through the door!

White Zetsu popped up and shouted, "Don't run around! Lord Shadow is in the Foxfire Palace in the North District!"

On the other side of the door, Xiao Nan remained still, her long blue hair fluttering in the wind beside her, her amber eyes sparkling.

"Is this the power of love? These young people these days... no, I'm young too. The parts of my body that should be white are snow-white, and the parts that should be pink are also pink and tender."

Dark Village, which had been experiencing continuous rain for months, was now shrouded in drifting rain, with flashes of lightning occasionally streaking across the clouds, followed by rumbling thunder.

Standing on the telephone pole under the moonlight, Obito watched the girl stumbling and running desperately down the empty street in the rain.

It's like parents watching their child struggling to learn to walk, wanting to help but unable to reach out.

He clenched his fist, his voice filled with hope as he witnessed the moment: "Good child, once you overcome this hurdle, you'll have grown up..."

Beneath the bronze walls stood a fierce-looking sculpture of a Vajra, illuminated only by clusters of foxfire shaped like magatama floating in the air, flickering on and off.

Chen sat on the stone chair, propping his cheek with one hand, staring expressionlessly at the girl who had burst through the door, covered in wounds and panting heavily in sweat.

Before she could speak, Chen said first, "Uchiha Sarada, didn't I say that day in front of Peach Blossom Spring that you couldn't leave Peach Blossom Spring without my permission? You agreed and stayed here voluntarily, didn't you?"

"But what did you do? Did you take my rules for granted? Did you really think this place was like your Konoha, where you could come and go as you pleased?"

"You've broken the rules here, and you still have the nerve to show your face in front of me? What are you thinking?"

"Thump!" Sarada knelt before Chen, pleading, "You can punish me however you want! Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you! But Boruto is your disciple, and he was in mortal danger while carrying out the mission you assigned him. You can't just stand by and watch him die!"

"Kill me or torture me?" Chen remained unmoved and said, "What's the use of killing you or torture me? Not only will I be branded as cruel, but I'll also have to find a place to bury this stinking carcass of yours."

"As for Boruto, firstly, he came to me himself to ask to become my disciple. Secondly, he is not only my disciple, but also a formal ninja of the Hidden Shadow Village. Giving his life for a mission is the kind of awareness a ninja should have."

Chen said disappointedly, "Uchiha Sarada, if this is all you're capable of, then just disappear from my sight."

At that moment, Sarada made up her mind completely.

"If you're willing to save Boruto, I promise I'll never be willful again, and I'll never play those little tricks again. I'll do whatever you say."

As she spoke, she took off the headband of a Konoha rogue ninja from her forehead, squeezed it tightly, and then threw it to the ground with a thud.

"From this day forward, I, Uchiha Sarada, am willing to sever all ties with Konoha! As an Anbu ninja, I will serve you!"

"So, I beg you! Uchiha Chen, Lord Shadow! This is my lifelong request, Uchiha Sarada's request! Please... save, save my Boruto!!!"

With tears streaming down her face, Sarada's eyes shone brightly, like a pair of kaleidoscope magatama appearing beneath her crimson-rimmed glasses! (See attached image)

Chapter 165 *Slap!*

Looking at Sarada's bright Mangekyou Sharingan.

Chen Xin was overjoyed.

What an unexpected gain! Not only did he win Sarada's heart, but he also gained a pair of eyes that were no less powerful than Kamui's.

He cupped Sarada's face in his hands, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his tone softening: "Silly girl, you really have a special affection for Boruto."

"Huh?" Sarada's eyes trembled with hopeful tears: "You...you promised to save Boruto?"

Chen stood up and said, "Of course, how could I stand by and watch my disciple die?"

Sarada quickly took off her glasses and wiped away her tears, reporting to Chen in a trembling voice despite her attempts to control her emotions: "There are three enemies! The fat man! The skinny man! The scruffy man!"

"The fat guy releases a virus-like mist! Boruto fell for it!"

"The skinny guy can launch weapons that look like carbon pebbles! They have a huge range and are incredibly fast; even the Sharingan can't see through them!"

"A scumbag! He can use the same 'Karma' as Boruto! And he's equipped with a scientific ninja tool! He took advantage of Boruto's weakness after being poisoned and used that glowing weapon to pierce Boruto's chest!"

"It was only because Mitsuki single-handedly held off the three of them that I had a chance to come back and report! He was in danger too!"

Chen said, "I understand. Let's hurry and rescue them."

Sarada: "Okay...okay!"

The surface of the water was littered with fragments of the white snake.

Siyue has been reduced from immortal mode back to its original form.

He is lying on his back on the water.

Blood oozed from puncture wounds on his right chest, left waist, shoulders, abdomen, and left leg, staining his blue and white clothes.

His loose, blue-white hair covered his haggard face... The wound that pierced his right chest had also severely damaged his lungs, making his breathing extremely heavy, and his amber eyes were bloodshot.

He was already too weak to fight anymore, but even so... his gaze never left Boruto.

Kawaki didn't participate in the fight just now because he couldn't get involved at all.

Mitsuki single-handedly fought against Boro and Dipa, two shell formations, for a full nine minutes.

And in just nine minutes, he delivered no fewer than five highlight moments.

At first, Orochi Rai's protective abilities were unable to withstand the combined attacks of Deepa's carbon stones and Boro's Lava Release. Realizing that Sarada was already in a safe position, he decisively chose to use the Substitution Jutsu to escape the attack range.

He then unexpectedly released a white snake that bit Boro, collected his blood, and used the white snake to cultivate antibodies that could fight Boro's fast-acting virus.

After becoming immune to the virus, he went all out and used his magic to destroy half of Boro's body.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the Sharingan and couldn't accurately locate the 'regeneration core' inside Boro's body, which could move freely.

Realizing that killing Boro was unrealistic, he launched a fierce attack on Deepa, who had no regenerative abilities... Why was Mitsuki able to determine that Deepa had no regenerative abilities? His basis was the equal status revealed in Boro and Deepa's interactions.

If Deepa possesses near-limitless regenerative abilities on his hardened, carbonized body, how powerful would he be? Strength determines status; the two are destined to never be on equal footing.

Either due to the limitations of the enemy's scientific ninja tools, or due to the limitations of the enemy's own physical endurance, defense and regeneration are mutually exclusive.

Mitsuki's offensive initially caused Deepa considerable distress, but Deepa's subsequent display of ability also proved too much for Mitsuki to handle.

Dipa's carbonization ability can not only be used to launch carbon stones at long range, but also to shape carbon into various deadly weapons with enhanced piercing and cutting capabilities, such as spikes, fluid swords, and spinning wheels!

Siyue suffered multiple piercing attacks on vital points.

Furthermore, the white snake pieces scattered on the ground were caused by the high-speed cutting wheel that Dipa made from carbon.

Even so, Mitsuki still managed to hold his own against Deepa thanks to his outstanding regenerative abilities!

Unfortunately, his attack power was ultimately a weakness, and he was unable to inflict sufficient effective damage on Deepa during his Sage Mode's sustained power.

He narrowly lost to Depa's special move, aided by Boro's assist from the sidelines.

"You brat, you actually forced me into this form."

Before Mitsuki, Deepa was completely covered in high-strength black and white carbon armor. (See attached image below)

Black and white armor Dipa

He grabbed Mitsuki's head and lifted him into the air. Beneath the eyeholes of his armor, two crescent-shaped eyes narrowed eerily.

"How should I deal with you? Should I twist your head off so you can die a quick death, or should I tear off your hands and feet first, cut your body in two, and then cut off your head last?"

Normally, even if Siyue knew he was going to die, he wouldn't waste his breath on this kind of person.

But at this moment, he had to buy time for the 'sun'.

Given the brutality and perverse tastes of this guy, even though he hasn't done anything to Boruto's corpse yet, who knows what he might do if he kills me.

Siyue said, "It would be better to tear off my hands and feet, cut my body in two, and then cut off my head... If possible, I hope you will cut my body into eight pieces."

This is really strange. Deepa asked curiously, "Why? Do you have masochistic tendencies?"

Mitsuki said, "I don't really think so, I was just a little curious."

"What are you curious about?"

"Because of my parents and relatives, I have lacked enough reverence for death since I was a child. I am curious whether I will feel fear of death during the process of dissociation of the body."

Upon hearing this, Boro burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... That's really perverted. No wonder he's Orochimaru's child!"

Upon hearing this name, which was well-known in the dark world, Deepa had a different thought.

Orochimaru... It is rumored that he was among the first to conduct research on Hashirama cells, and that he himself benefited from them!

Victor mentioned that person's name to me many times before he died.

If, if I could find Orochimaru, then the Hashirama cells I've been dreaming of...
