Konoha: I, Uzumaki Boruto is not cheating

"Is this... petrified?"

Large swaths of skin on the king's body turned like stone, and there were almost no intact skins on the whole body except his head.

Being petrified over such a large area, it can be said to be a miracle that he survived!

"The enemy ninja has a special ability"

Crega said reproachfully.

"It's all our fault for not protecting His Majesty."

Kakashi's face was as dark as water. He seemed to have seen this kind of petrification ability before, but he couldn't remember it.

"Sakura, how are you doing? Can you treat me?"

he asked.

"Try it first. Tsunade-sensei taught me how to remove petrification-type ninjutsu."

She quickly formed a seal, and a ball of blue chakra energy condensed in her palm, and then slowly swept across the king's petrified skin.

On the other side, in the palace, Shaba Daba, who was so angry because the prince successfully escaped, was throwing the valuable tableware on the table.

"What's going on? You actually let them run away!"

"Damn, bastard."

"Why didn't you take action just now?"

He asked the ninjas who had just been standing on the top floors.

"Obviously as long as you take action, you can stop them and kill Yue Man."

"Shi Li, what do you think we should do now?"

"We didn't expect the ninjas of Konoha to intervene."

The ninja named Shi Li spoke calmly and seemed not worried at all about the current situation.

"Among their group, only Kakashi has two brushes. The other two are just genin. There is also a yellow-haired kid I haven't seen before, but judging by his age, he should be among the genin. Don't worry. "

This man seemed to be very familiar with Kakashi and Konoha, and his tone was full of confidence.

"Kakashi may be very strong to others, but he is not a threat to us."

He narrowed his eyes.

"I'll deal with them right now."

"Of course."

Hearing the confidence in the other party's tone, Shaba Daba also regained his composure.

"I didn't pay a lot of money to hire you for nothing."

Shi Li glanced back at Shaba Daba and turned his head.

"Haha, if I hadn't been ordered by the adults to help you, do you think you could have persuaded me with your stinky money?"

His expression was full of disdain.

……

"How's it going? Sakura."

"There is nothing wrong with removing the petrification. If you are just attacked in battle and removed as soon as possible afterwards, it will not have any impact, but..."

"If you delay it for as long as the king did, irreversible damage will have been caused at the cellular level, and the king is probably too old..."

Before Sakura could finish her words, Kakashi signaled that she didn't need to continue.

"Man, are you back?"

While they were talking, the king, who had been petrified by Sakura, woke up and opened his eyes.

Yue Man heard the old king's call and quickly came forward.

"Dad! You..."

The old king looked around and saw Yue Man's son Yue Guang, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Light...you're back too, that's great."

"Can you tell me what happened after I fell into coma?"

Cregar walked up to the king, leaned down, and slowly but clearly explained what had happened in the past few days.

From being expelled from the palace to almost being captured when the moon came back, to him and Kakashi rescuing the siege, to the general situation in the city.

The old king listened patiently, and finally nodded slowly, looking like Naruto and his party.

"Thank you for saving Mitsuru and Hikaru."

"Thank you so much."

After expressing his gratitude to everyone in Konoha, the old king looked at his son Yue Man.

"Man, what do you think of our country now?"

"Well...it's a wonderful place that's both rich and beautiful."

Yue Man sat down next to his father and answered.

"But I think if the wealth and beauty alone are useless, the people living here cannot be called happy."

"Eh?"

Yue Man was a little frightened, not knowing what his father meant by what he said now.

"Joy, happiness, hope, and dreams."

"What I want to build is a country full of harmony and friendship."

He took a deep breath and stopped Yue Man who came forward to check.

"However, my original companion, Shaba Daba, could not understand me."

"What a pity."

Yue Manfei lowered his head.

"Father...I...don't quite understand what you are talking about."

The old king closed his eyes.

"Full."

"what?"

"Remember my last words."

"Eh?"

Everyone was stunned.

The old king seemed to have realized that his time had come, and a sickly blush appeared on his face.

"Very important thing."

"I didn't think I would tell you in this situation."

"You must inherit the throne and protect this country on my behalf."

"Guards."

"Although I know this is unreasonable."

"But this is my last wish."

Kakashi and Crega stepped forward and half-knelt in front of the foreign country.

"Please speak."

"Please protect them both."

"Mikazuki, remember, if they can help you regain the throne, the Konoha ninja will be Mikazuki's forever and only unconditionally supported ally."

"This promise will remain valid as long as Mikazuki Island exists."

After Kakashi thought for a moment, he nodded.

"Even if it costs our lives, we will do it."

After hearing the promise given by Kakashi, the old king finally showed a relieved smile on his face.

"Thank you."

"Man, I'll leave it to you."

As if he had finished explaining what he was worried about, the old king closed his eyes and passed away.

"Dad? Dad!"

At this moment, Yue Man could no longer hold back her tears, and she fell on her father's body and cried out in pain.

……

Under special circumstances, everything was kept simple. After a simple burial ceremony, Kakashi found Crega and asked:

"What's next?"

Craiga replied:

"Our current combat effectiveness is too low, and it is too difficult to resist the minister."

"First, let His Majesty and His Highness take refuge abroad, and then rescue the allies, and then prepare the army to put down the rebellion and regain power."

"I have just sent my brothers to dispatch small emergency ships."

Kakashi nodded.

"You can come to Konoha first, we can provide shelter."

"Oh, that would be great."

At nightfall, a group of people packed up and headed to a beach on the edge of Mikazuki Island under the cover of darkness.

After arriving at the destination, the joint escort jumped from the sailboat prepared on the beach and saluted Crega.

"The boat has been prepared outside the bay. It is safe for the time being. No suspicious persons have been found."

"Ah."

Cregar returned the greeting and nodded.

"Thanks for your hard work."

And just as everyone was about to board the sailboat, a detonating talisman cut through the night and exploded under everyone's feet.
