BORUTO : A Shinobi's Legacy

CHAPTER 47 : SHIBAI OTSUTSUKI

Kawaki finally arrived at his home after spending time with Sarada. As he is walking towards the doorstep, suddenly he heard someone was calling him behind the tree next to the doorstep. He turns his attention towards it and saw a shadowy figure standing. Out of shocked, Kawaki then used the Dharmagan's chakra rod ability to stab the figure. His attack did no damage to it. The shadowy figure  took a few steps forward from the shadows. Kawaki was surprised to see a human-like being  under the bright moonlight. Then he realized it was Code's voice talking to him through it. (It is the ten tails vision beings)

- Code talking to Kawaki : Relax.. It's me, Kawaki.

- Kawaki : That voice..

- Code : Oh.. Sorry I didn't realise.  No wonder you can't recognize me. This thing was originally called 'Vision beings' according to the first Hokage Hashirama Senju. But I like to call them my 'claw grimes'. Mine is more advanced & powerful than the ones that the other Ten-tail used during the 4th war.

- Kawaki : Claw grimes? Ten tails??

- Code : Yup. You heard it. As you already guessed where the name came from. This thing was created from Ten-tails.  I'm talking through 1 of my armies here.

- Kawaki : What do you want now ha?!

- Code : Looks like you're having some fun with Uchiha Sasuke's daughter huh.. What a cute moment before the arrival of the apocalypse.

- Kawaki : Ughh.. Just spit it out then.

- Code : (Sigh).. Fine fine fine.. I came here to remind you about our deal. Time is ticking but why is the Hokage is still here?

- Kawaki (Got separated & prostrated down to Code by grabbing the minion's leg) : Ughh . Please. I need a little bit more time.

Kawaki grabbed the claw grime's leg because he wanted to check out something. He then realised this one has Code's claw marks all over its body. Code then controls the claw grime to kick him in the face. It then walks forward and steps on the back of Kawaki's head.

- Kawaki's internal logue : What brute strength.

- Code to Kawaki (While the claw grime steps on the back of his head with it's right leg)  : Listen! You asked me for more time?! Tell me, did you gave a second to Isshiki before you stomp him in the face?!! Now how does it feel down there?

  The two noticed that the light from the front entrance of Kawaki's house had just been opened. Naruto's voice was heard saying "Who's there? Is that you Kawaki?". Code took a step back and walked back into the hidden claw mark on the fence saying "A deal is a deal. You better hurry or else…".

- Naruto opens the door and saw Kawaki laying on the ground : Oii Kawaki! What happened?!

Tears streamed out of Kawaki's eyes, showing that he's now truly desperate to find a way to save Naruto from Code. If he tells to Naruto about this & his plan, there's a good chance he will disagree with Kawaki's decision because Naruto will likely wanted to save all of humanity but Kawaki didn't have the capability to save every human on earth at once..

  Kawaki then activates his karma to shrink Code's claw mark before Naruto saw it. In Kawaki's mind, he didn't want Naruto to struggle to find a way to save all humanity at once because time was running out.

Naruto picked up Kawaki and he noticed that Kawaki was hiding something from him. He then activates sage mode then noticed the bushes in front of them were in a strange position, so he looked back and found another of Code's claw marks in front of him.

- Kawaki internal logue : Shit! Didn't realise there's a second claw mark.

He immediately told Ino and called several shinobis to survey Konoha. A few hours later, everything is clear now. Before the few shinobis guarding Naruto's house left, Kawaki suddenly apologised to all of them many times. They were all surprised by his actions because he was acting strangely (guilt-like behaviour). Naruto just thought that he was apologising to them for disturbing their personal time but in reality, Kawaki was apologizing to them because he knew what will happen to them in the near future. The guilt was overwhelming him.
