05x217 - Decision

[bunniefuu]

Such tremendous chakra.

He never told me he had a move like this before...

What is it?

How could he still have such an ace up his sleeve?

How abhorrent...

What's with that look in your eyes?

Boruto!

Not bad.

Listen...

This is a completely different beast.

As the raw materials to create this energy,

my chakra and yours get consumed...

until one or both of our lives run out.

You bastard!

Listen, don't make any unnecessary moves.

Even rid yourself of superfluous thoughts.

Those are the tricks to keep this Baryon Mode going

for as long as possible.

Don't underestimate me, you inferior creatures!

Unbelievable!

He's on par with him...

No, he's actually b*ating him!

Those high-speed rods!

I'm barely even able to track them with my Sharingan!

Impossible!

How did he power up this fast?!

Come on, Otsutsuki...

Let me show you what true resolve is...

Mr. Sasuke...

What's—?

I don't know, but his power is far beyond what it was before.

Dad...

How dare you look down on me!

Damn it!

Damn it! Damn it!

Damn it!

Rasengan!

That prosthetic hand runs on chakra, doesn't it?

Finding one that's compatible is quite difficult.

I'm surprised you were able to do so.

That was originally made for Lord Seventh,

so it responds to his chakra.

What?

Lord Hokage has been sharing a portion of his chakra with Kawaki

so that hand can function at all times.

That's unexpected.

I can't believe how generous he is...

What?

What's the matter, Kawaki?

Lord Seventh's chakra...

is weakening!

Now I get it...

Damn it!

This is more exhausting than I thought!

That rapid jump in your abilities and power...

was a life-shortening sacrificial gamble, eh?

Well, sorry.

Looks like you lost your bet, Naruto Uzumaki.

What? What's happening?

I'm coughing up blood? Impossible!

You bastard! What have you done?!

This can't be happening! It can't be!

Which one of us will go down first?

This is where the real bet begins.

This power is intense.

It should definitely exceed his.

But the drawbacks are too costly.

It expends our life force.

This drawback is also crucial.

Because all chakra is connected...

this same power that comes into being

from expending bits of our life force

also shaves off his life when it comes into contact with him!

This can't be happening! Damn it!

There's no mistake...

My life span is shrinking dramatically.

I should've had more than hours left...

But now, somehow... I've got less than half an hour!

His att*cks!

Their force isn't the issue.

Getting hit with them...

is itself the problem!

Out of the way, you inferior creature!

At this point, it's too late...

Serves you right!

Shut up, you worthless insect!

This chakra!

The last one standing will be Isshiki Otsutsuki, after all!

Not you lesser species!

Damn it!!

Is Naruto all right?

How the hell am I supposed to know?!

I don't know what's happening,

but at this rate, Lord Seventh will be—!

What—?!

What's happening?

– Kawaki! – Kawaki!

What in the world?!

What did you do?

What?!

What happened?

Now I get it.

That unsightly right arm was functioning

using the Hokage's—your chakra.

Kawaki!

You have my gratitude.

Thanks to that meddlesome thing you call a bond,

I was able to locate Kawaki!

What's going on here?

Where did Kawaki go?

Could it have been the Otsutsuki's doing?

I don't know.

I can't claim anything for sure,

but if Kawaki was transported to Isshiki,

there's one thing I can say...

We're out of options...

We're completely done for.

This is bad!

Kawaki!

Hey, Kawaki.

I've been wanting to see you.

So, this is Isshiki Otsutsuki...

He wants to implant another damn Karma in me...

That was a close one...

Currently, I guess I have about five minutes of life left.

I can't believe these failures

managed to drive me into such a corner.

I'm glad to hear

that I get to witness your worthless life ending for good!

It's like taking a slightly lengthy nap.

Once the time is right,

I'll resurrect with your body as my new Vessel.

Run, Kawaki!

Stall him!

Be quiet!

Go, Kawaki!

Come on...

You know you can't escape.

Don't struggle...

There's nothing to be afraid of.

It'll be over in a flash.

What?!

Kawaki, just hide anywhere!

You fool.

Smoke screens are worthless against the Byakugan...

You're the fool.

It's a mineral dust that obstructs clairvoyant powers.

It only lasts a few minutes, but that's all we need!

How impudent...

Get some distance Kawaki...

A few minutes is enough...

Just until he dies...

Kawaki!

Kawaki!

Nice. I'm counting on you!

Just keep on running and get away!

How dare you!

I won't let you escape!

Are you serious?!

Do you really think you can escape from me?

He's using those to find his location...

That was close.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Damn it!

At this rate, I won't get anywhere...

Very well, Kawaki.

If you insist, two can play at this game!

Can you hear me, Kawaki?!

Come out within seconds!

Or else...

I'll kick open his chest and k*ll him.

Run all you want.

As long as you don't care that your beloved Hokage will die!

Damn it... you piece of trash!

I'm gonna begin!

...

...

...

Again?

How many times must I tell you that it's useless to hide?

Come out within ten seconds.

Or else...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Wait!

Wait!

I'll wait. Of course, I will.

We're father and son, after all.

!

...

...

...

...

...

...

Poor thing.

If you hadn't wanted it, this wouldn't have happened.

Don't you get it?

You have nothing.

You don't have a single thing.

You are empty.

So, I'll teach you...

over and over again, as many times as needed.

Now then... Prepare to be punished, Kawaki.

!

You have nothing.

You don't have a single thing.

You are empty.

!

Nothing you gain, will ever fill a broken vessel.

It will just spill right out of that hole.

– ! –...

– ! –...

– ! –...

Just stay right where you are, Kawaki!

!

!

Lord Seventh.

Relax, Kawaki!

You're safe now.

Chakra is a binding force.

Hey.

Do I really have that too?

Yeah. It exists within you too.

Do you think I can do it too?

Can I become like him?

You kinda remind me of how I used to be when I was a kid.

So, I just can't leave you alone.

Could you train me how to use ninjutsu?

Sure! But it's no cakewalk.

All right! Then...

!

!

That idiot!

...

Kawaki...

Then from today,

you're my student.

Decision

You're just a life that will be snuffed out to become my Vessel.

A world without Lord Seventh has no worth to me.

I'd rather be dead!
