The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World-Chapter 362 - 8. Stop Fighting!

[V2] - 8. Stop Fighting!

---

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Boruto looked at the enemy in front of them, starting to feel a bit of a headache, constantly sucking in cold air.

On the other side... the hurriedly ascending Yuto and Hanabi had also found Asuka and Yumi.

Hanabi was gritting her teeth as she squished the two little cuties' faces. "Hmph! You two little girls sure are brave~, sneaking up the mountain without telling any adults!"

"We won't do it again~" x2

The two little girls' faces were being kneaded like dough by Mom Hanabi, but they wore pitiful, aggrieved expressions in their eyes: [That mean Itachi-Onii-chan... he lied and said there'd be delicious food! Hmph! We hate Itachi-Onii-chan now!]

Seeing that, Hanabi couldn't help but laugh and directly picked them up. "Don't run off next time. If you want to come to the mountain again, make sure to tell Mom and Dad!"

"Got it!" Asuka and Yumi immediately brightened up as they looked at Mom Hanabi. "Delicious food? Where's the delicious food?"

"You two little clever troublemakers! I got it!" Hanabi rubbed their faces with her own, then turned her head to glance at the mountain peak glowing in chaotic light, then looked at Yuto beside her. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "What should I do now?"

"How about..." Yuto sucked in a breath and said, "We pretend we didn't see them."

"..."

...

Of course, that was just a joke.

At this moment—

Up above, Sasuke... really couldn't fight off four... hundred pairs of hands with just two fists~!

Sigh~ there might not be over two hundred people here, but it looked dense enough to be terrifying.

There were ninjas everywhere!

Especially members of the Hyuga and Uchiha clans... he estimated that both clans had sent out just about every ninja they could.

In the darkness, red and white lights gleamed.

It was eerie.

They stared straight at you.

Just one glance could make your whole body shiver.

And right now—

Sasuke and Boruto stood back to back, both on high alert, staring at their opponents.

Especially Sasuke, his eyes complicated as he looked at those familiar figures. Even though his heart was full of curses, he didn't dare say anything now.

But it really was worthy of being Infinite Tsukuyomi!

People who should have died were still alive here.

Onii-chan hadn't borne everything alone and left the village.

The tragedy of the Uchiha hadn't happened.

Only—

[Who were those two Byakugan girls earlier!!!] x2

Sasuke and Boruto didn't believe that just the two of them sneaking into Konoha would cause the village to mobilize so many ninjas.

Even against the Six Paths of Pain, Konoha probably didn't react so dramatically at the start!

So—

It must've been because of those two little girls. They were likely misunderstood to be in danger from Boruto and Sasuke, and that's what triggered this mass outrage.

Just like Itachi said earlier—

[You're dead!]

"Could they be Grandpa's daughters?" Boruto kept sucking in cold air, looking like he had a terrible toothache. "Daughters of the Fourth Hokage... that might explain why Konoha is this on edge. But if that's the case... where's Dad?"

Surely Dad's not missing from this whole thing, right?

As for the Hyuga Clan Leader's daughter... there's no way even more people would be dispatched over that.

However—

"Impossible." Sasuke shook his head calmly. "Even if it's the Fourth Hokage's daughter, that still wouldn't be enough to make Konoha send out this many ninjas!"

If it were the Nine-Tails incident, maybe.

No—if the Nine-Tails ran into these people, even he would probably give in!

If Uchiha Obito had invaded Konoha back then and all these guys had shown up... Uchiha Madara would have had to look for a different pawn.

Sasuke gave a deep look at Uchiha Obito, who had activated his Susanoo. [Does this illusion world not have Uchiha Madara?]

But after a while, he stopped thinking about it!

Right now, the most important thing was... figuring out how to get out of here!

"Would it help if we revealed our identities?" Boruto asked, his hands trembling a bit. "After all, the Fourth Hokage is my grandpa, and the Hyuga Clan Leader is my grandpa too!"

"We still don't know what's going on here." Sasuke thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Maybe... the Otsutsuki clan planned for us to face this exact situation from the start!"

With those words, he touched his eyes. If only space-time ninjutsu could be used...

Unfortunately, his pupil power hadn't recovered yet and couldn't be used for now.

"I'll hold off the enemy later!" Sasuke lowered his hand with a serious expression on his face. "At that time, you find a chance to leave. Don't worry about me!"

There was still a more important battle awaiting him. Konoha and Naruto needed him. No matter what... he couldn't afford to fall here.

And Boruto... he had to protect him!

He was the future of Konoha!

With that, Boruto stared at Sasuke in a daze. "But sensei..."

"There are no 'buts'!" Sasuke still stared ahead and spoke calmly: "As a ninja, when carrying out a mission, you must first follow orders!"

Soon, he would have to go all out.

Otherwise, he wouldn't survive!

So—

[I'm sorry! Onii-chan, Father!]

Being toyed with like this... Sasuke's anger toward Otsutsuki Urashiki only grew stronger!

After giving his instructions, Sasuke slightly bent his waist, gripped his Kusanagi sword tightly, his face stern, and charged forward.

However—

Suddenly—

"Minato, come home already! Dad, hurry and come home!" A ringtone suddenly rang out abruptly in the midst of the battlefield.

The serious atmosphere instantly froze.

Everyone's movements halted, and they involuntarily turned to look toward the source of the ringtone.

"..."

The Fourth Hokage saw everyone staring at him and quickly forced a laugh. "Sorry! Sorry! I left in such a rush I forgot to turn off my phone!"

He said while taking out his phone, and just as he was about to switch it off, he saw the caller ID and froze slightly, then frowned.

"Let me take this call first!" With that, he stepped back and answered the phone. "Why are you calling me now?!"

The entire scene suddenly became bizarre.

Even Sasuke... seeing the other side suddenly stop, also paused his movement and looked at the Fourth Hokage talking into the small box.

What on earth is happening right now?!

From the very beginning, he had felt something strange about this illusion world: the timeline, the odd changes, and the messy, unfamiliar things?!

But now, seeing this silent scene before him, Sasuke also frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

In the end, he abruptly turned around and grabbed Boruto. Without any hesitation, the two of them charged toward the Hyuga clan's defense line. Not toward the Hyuga Clan Leader's group, but toward the regular Hyuga clan members!

"Damn!"

He blocked with a short sword, did a spinning kick—even when a green flash appeared before him, he ignored it. Even Susanoo's punches were disregarded—he took them all head-on and endured it.

In the blink of an eye, he tore open a gap and threw Boruto out of it.

"Run!"

"Sensei!!!"

"Run! I'll come find you!"

With those words, Boruto, thrown far away, froze briefly. Then, he firmly stood up, wiping away the tears at the corners of his eyes, and deeply looked at the back of his teacher who was taking on all the enemies alone to buy him time.

No more hesitation.

He immediately ran off into the distance.

But his gaze grew firmer and firmer...

[If you fail, sensei... I swear I'll break this illusion and bring you out with me!]

At that moment, he seemed to understand what his Dad had meant by the Will of Fire!

His eyes turned red as he ran with his head down, ignoring the battle behind him, muttering softly at the corner of his lips: "Where the leaves fall, fire will continue to burn. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and nurture the new leaves to grow!" He paused slightly. "Dad, I understa—"

Before he could finish—

"Bang!"

His butt suddenly took a kick out of nowhere.

Boruto's expression changed.

He had been caught up to!

Holding a kunai to deflect the force of the kick, he spun around and stared ahead. "As a Konoha ninja, I will never just give up so easi—"

Before he could finish—

"What the hell are you two idiots doing?" A familiar voice came, filled with helplessness. "I already called the Fourth Hokage, and you still ran off?!"

"?!"

Boruto was stunned. Then he quickly looked up, his face full of disbelief as he stared at the figure in front of him holding two little girls.

"Aunt Hanabi?"

"Bang!"

"I told you to call me sister!"

...

At the same time. On the other side— freewēbnoveℓ.com

After exhausting himself to get Boruto out, Sasuke finally let out a breath of relief, his gaze complicated as he looked at the ninjas blocking his path.

He lightly drew his Kusanagi sword, and his cloak billowing despite no wind. He said in a resolute tone: "Now, it's my turn!"

Sorry, Boruto!

The road ahead may have to depend on you now.

To be honest—

Facing these people, he really didn't have the luck to escape!

He was already prepared to die.

However—

Just then—

"Sensei! Stop fighting! Sensei! Stop fighting!"

A familiar voice called out behind him...

Sasuke: ???
