Chapter 21: Those Eyes Will Eventually Take Everything from You...
[Kurotsuchi: "Will he win?"]
[Uzumaki Boruto: "He's gonna win!"]
The visuals continued.
Boruto infused Lightning Release chakra into the Rasengan, and the massive Rasengan vanished in the blink of an eye.
At this moment,
Momoshiki waved his hand, launching a barrage of black rods.
Sasuke, blade in hand, deflected these black rods one by one, then rushed forward rapidly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
A large amount of smoke instantly billowed from the tree roots.
Sasuke decisively threw his blade; Momoshiki turned his head to dodge.
In the next second, Sasuke swapped places with his blade, charging fiercely at Momoshiki with a Chidori in hand.
Meanwhile, the blade that had just swapped positions with Sasuke remained suspended high in the air.
"Is this the best you can do..."
Bang!
The sound of smoke popping came from the blade behind him; Boruto had decisively thrown a kunai.
The kunai tore through the air,
Shooting rapidly toward Momoshiki.
Momoshiki looked at the Chidori right in front of him,
While simultaneously extending his other hand (the right hand) to disdainfully catch the kunai flying from behind.
Just as he was about to absorb the Chidori,
Sasuke activated his Amenotejikara (Heavenly Hand Power),
Instantly swapping the positions of the Chidori and the kunai.
The kunai stabbed straight into the palm of Momoshiki's hand!!
"You bastard!!!"
Momoshiki's face was filled with rage as he swatted Sasuke away into the distance.
At this point, his ability to absorb ninjutsu was completely gone!!
Sasuke slumped against a wall, looking weakly at Boruto.
"The rest is up to you... Boruto!"
Naruto's chakra was restricted,
And Sasuke was incredibly weak at this moment.
The two of them unreservedly placed all their hopes on Boruto...
[Momochi Zabuza: "You have to win, kid..."]
[Gekko Hayate: "Cough cough... That's right!"]
[Kankuro: "I have a question... If the enemies in the future are this strong, surely there isn't just one of them?"]
[Yuhi Kurenai: "It becomes terrifying when you put it like that..."]
The visuals continued.
Boruto used Wind Style: Gale Palm, violently launching a Shadow Clone into the distance.
Bang!!
The Shadow Clone threw a punch, hammering hard into Momoshiki's abdomen.
Momoshiki reached out and grabbed Boruto's shoulder, his eyes full of anger.
"Cheap tricks... but regrettably!"
"I wouldn't be so sure..." Boruto spoke slowly, then vanished into smoke.
From within the smoke, several more Shadow Clone Borutos rushed out.
Momoshiki punched and kicked, quickly disposing of two Shadow Clones.
In the distance, the real Boruto, Rasengan in hand, rushed in like a gale.
"You're right here!" Momoshiki held a black rod and stabbed viciously.
Boruto turned his head to dodge the strike.
At the same time,
Another Boruto appeared behind Momoshiki, his right eye revealed to be the Jōgan (Pure Eye).
Seeing this, Momoshiki was furious.
He gripped the black rod and stabbed the Boruto in front of him into smoke...
However, from within the smoke, the Rasengan still swept across his abdomen.
Momoshiki clutched his stomach, staggering back a few steps in pain.
"Damn it..."
"I'm right here!" Boruto's voice came from above.
Momoshiki slowly looked up, only to see Boruto tightly gripping a gigantic Rasengan.
Massive hurricane winds blew around them.
"Go get him... Boruto!"
Naruto watched this scene from a distance, a look of gratification on his face.
...
The people of the ninja world watched the screen in the sky, their blood boiling with excitement.
"Go, Boruto! Finish that bastard off!!"
"Take him down!!"
"Boruto is a legend!!"
"That Rasengan... represents the hope of everyone in the ninja world! You must win!!"
...
The visuals continued.
Boruto gripped the Rasengan and slammed it down with force.
Momoshiki similarly gathered a dark red sphere in one hand.
Bang!!
A powerful repulsive force radiated out; Boruto gritted his teeth, forced back a slight distance.
"That move was indeed devious, but I told you... there won't be a second time!"
"It's not over yet!!" Boruto's eyes were exceptionally firm as he increased the power in his hand.
Momoshiki also increased the power in his hand.
Bang!!
The two spheres collided high in the sky, expanding violently.
Boom!
In just an instant,
The area for several kilometers around was destroyed by this clash, turning into masses of wood chips and rubble.
The Five Kage, caught in the shockwave, raised their hands to shield their eyes.
"Is this all? I am Momoshiki Otsutsuki!!" Momoshiki's eyes grew even more furious at being underestimated like this.
Bang!!
On Boruto's side, his sleeve shattered rapidly, and his arm turned bright red.
He clenched his teeth tightly, increasing the force in his hand once again, pressing down with all his might.
Boom!!
The Rasengan soon pierced through the distant dark red sphere.
In a flash...
Boruto twisted his wrist!
The Rasengan turned into a hurricane, beginning to frantically absorb everything around it.
"To think that I actually..." Momoshiki's face was filled with unwillingness.
At this moment, he watched Boruto break through the hurricane, rushing towards him...
Boruto's eye was the Jōgan...
Everything around became a vast whiteness...
The crowd watching the video felt their blood burning!
YES!!
Boruto successfully defeated Momoshiki!!
[Baki: "Nice work!!"]
[Momochi Zabuza: "This kid is definitely going places... his strength is at least Kage level!"]
[Sarutobi Konohamaru: "Is this Big Brother Naruto's son? That willpower is too strong..."]
[Otsutsuki Hagoromo: "Boruto truly defeated a god with the body of a mortal..."]
The visuals continued.
"Can you sense my presence? Son of man..."
The surrounding white light slowly faded.
Boruto opened his eyes again to see Momoshiki lunging at him.
"What..."
"I see... You have inherited the power of the Otsutsuki. But currently, you are too weak; you cannot see your own destiny clearly." Momoshiki floated behind Boruto.
"You bastard..." Boruto's eyes were filled with anger, but his body couldn't move.
Everything around them seemed exceptionally void and hollow.
"I can clearly see your destiny... Remember, those blue eyes will one day take everything from you!"
Momoshiki's eyes grew increasingly excited as he spoke, grabbing Boruto's palm.
"Also... be prepared. Those who defeat gods can no longer return to being ordinary humans."
Hearing these inexplicable words, Boruto's eyes were filled with confusion.
Momoshiki's body soon turned into smoke and rapidly dissipated.
"Reflect upon your destiny as you move forward... human!"
Bang!!
A violent explosion instantly destroyed the remaining tree roots in the distance.
Sasuke, with his Rinnegan active, witnessed everything that just happened, his eyes filled with shock.
At this moment,
The Rasengan broke through the atmosphere, rose into outer space, and then exploded in the sky.
With a thud, Boruto collapsed onto the tree root, panting heavily in exhaustion.
"Beautifully done..." The Five Kage looked at the scene from high above, joy on their faces.
The dark, dense clouds high in the sky,
Were blasted open by the Rasengan, allowing dazzling light to spill through.
This light, like a sharp sword, shone on the spot where Boruto lay.
Momoshiki was completely finished.
Boruto weakly propped himself up from the root, the sunlight bathing his face.
"Eh, did I succeed?"
Boruto's face was full of confusion.
[Nara Shikamaru: "What did that sentence from Momoshiki mean just now..."]
[Uchiha Itachi: "Boruto's eyes..."]
...
(Fun Fact: The plot of Boruto isn't bad; it's just that because the manga updates too slowly, the anime had to produce original filler arcs.)
