Code

Chapter 14

Shikadai's Pov

"Is that all of the Puppets?" I asked.

"Yeah, that's all of them in-." Inojin Confirmed before getting cut off by a huge explosion.

"What was that!?" Chouchou yelled.

I looked back towards where the explosion took place.

"That's towards Amado's Lab!" I yelled.

A red light had appeared where Amado's lab was, the red light took off like a shooting star going away from us.

"What is that?" Inojin asked.

"If that's towards Amado's lab..." Chouchou paused.

"That means the Puppets were a diversion to get our attention away from the lab...."

"Does that mean they already attacked Amado's lab?" Inojin asked.

"I don't know but, we have to check what happened with Amado." I said.

—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had arrived at the laboratory, the building had collapsed, having burnt marks almost everywhere.

"Amado!" I yelled out as we searched the area.

"The hell happened here...." Chouchou asked.

"I found him!" Inojin yelled.

Chouchou and I ran towards Inojin to find Amado who was lying down on his back, he was seriously injured. Inojin kneeled down next to him and put two fingers on his neck, checking for a pulse....

"He's...." Inojin paused. "He's dead."

"No way...." Chouchou said, covering her mouth with her hand.

"Damn it..." I cussed. I looked to my left, I saw a cream coloured jacket that was barely visible due to the smoke that covered the area... Wait, he was also here....

"No way!" I yelled as I ran towards the cloth.

"What happened, Shikadai!?" Chouchou yelled as both her and Inojin followed me.

I saw the symbol on the cream colored jacket, my heart dropped... It was the Nara clan symbol...

"DAD!" I yelled as I slid towards Dad's body. He wasn't moving, Dad had a big gaping hole right in his stomach area.

"DAD!" I yelled, shaking him violently in denial. "DAD, WAKE UP!"

"Uncle Shikamaru!" Chouchou and Inojin sliding next to him.

"No, no, no no no no no." I cried silently, tears falling down on Dad's lifeless body.

Chouchou put her head on Dad's lap and silently cried.

"Damn it!" Inojin yelled, punching the floor in anger. "Who did this!?"

"Code...."

Naruto's Pov

"How do you two know my name?...."

"What are you talking about?" I questioned. "I'm your father."

"I don't know who you are..." Boruto said.

I don't know who you are? As if my heart wasn't broken enough from recent events, now my own son who was remodeled to a cyborg without my consent looked at me in the eyes and said he doesn't know who I am.

"You don't remember us?" Sarada asked.

"Code got away...." Dad said, limping back to us. "On the bright side we made it out alive."

"Damn it, I can't believe I let Code get away." Boruto gritted.

"Boruto..." I asked. "Do you remember anything at all?"

"No." Boruto responded bluntly. "All I do know is that my mission is to Defeat Code and Protect Konoha, that is what I was created for."

"Damn it..." Sarada quietly cried.

That bastard Amado, Boruto saved our lives but.... This is not him, he's not Boruto... He's a tool, Amado turned my son into a tool.... But without him, we'd be dead right now. I don't even know how I should feel about this.

Wait, what happened to Amado? That loud explosion was from Amado's lab, and that's when Code got his Limiters removed....

"Sasuke, we have to go check up on Amado quickly!" I said as I ran towards the Laboratory.

Sarada's Pov

Dad quickly followed Lord Seventh, leaving me alone with this Fake Boruto.

"So, Who are you?" Boruto asked, tilting his head.

"Uchiha, Sarada...."

"Interesting..." Boruto said.

"What's your name?" I sarcastically asked.

"Otsutsuki Boruto, protector of Konoha." Boruto said proudly.

"Otsutsuki!?" I yelled.

"Yeah, is there a problem with that?" Boruto said, looking offended.

"No, there isn't"

It makes sense.

"This means ninety percent of me was overwritten by Isshiki's DNA, I'm not a regular Uzuamki or Hyuga anymore, I'm basically a full blood Otsustuki,,,"

"Sarada, I-I'm scared, I don't know what to think, and I don't want to think about what happens if people find out..."

"So Sarada..." Boruto said. "Is the guy with the black hair related to you?"

I sighed, this is so infuriating. My feelings are being played with, everything is happening way too quick. It's only been four days since Boruto had initially died, and only two weeks since we found him and brought him back to the village.

It hurts so much, seeing the person I love so much become something he's not.... His body was rewired with Scientific Ninja tools, His DNA and Genes had been converted into an Otsutsuki, and to top it all off he's now classified as a cyborg that has no memories of us.

A Vessel for Kara, a Tool for Konoha.... I can't accept this Boruto, but it originally goes back to the chunin exams.... If I just didn't avoid him, he'd still be Boruto, Uzumaki Boruto.... But that still doesn't mean I have to acknowledge this fake next to me.

"Sarada?" Boruto questioned.

"Shut up..."

"Huh?"

"SHUT UP!"

I ran away from him....

It hurts seeing him again.

It hurts seeing him be something he's not.

It hurts seeing him be anything else but Uzuamki Boruto.

I mindlessly ran through the broken Village, half of the buildings had collapsed, smoke and fires coming out of some of the buildings.

Code is still alive.... Boruto is not who he was anymore.

I don't know what to do anymore...
