Boruto screamed in pain as he endured the pain in his right eye. This pain, it hurts more than the time he got his eye cut by his enemy. He kneeled down in pain and held the right side of his face with his hand. Sweat drips down from his face, his entire head feels like its going to explode.
Suddenly, he heard Momoshiki's voice inside his head.
'Fascinating, how can such elixir exist in this plane of existence? These lowly beings all have a small vial of them. Is there some kind of god living amongst them in this dimension?' He said, obviously interested at the fact that all of the shinobis they've met so far have this "Divine Blessing".
After a few minutes of that excruciating pain, his right eye finally calmed down. A little pain still lingers but other than that, it's not painful anymore.
When Boruto opened his right eye, the Jougan was already activated. His right hand suddenly developed a mark that spread throughout the right side of his body, until it reached his face, forming an angular and curving geometric pattern.
"Boruto-kun, your karma's activated. You should probably deactivate that." Mitsuki warned.
Boruto got a surprise look on his face when he saw the curse mark activated along with his Jougan. He immediately deactivated it after Mitsuki warned him, and the mark regressed until it could no longer be seen.
When he deactivated his Jougan, he realized that he can finally see in his right eye even without activating his dojutsu! Though, it still consumes a large amount of chakra. He's just thankful that he is an Uzumaki, meaning he has a huge amount of chakra even without a tailed beast sealed inside him.
"What… was that?" Sakura asked, shocked.
Boruto took a glance at Sakura and said, "That was my karma, a curse mark implanted by a stupid Otsutsuki..."
'Hey! I am not stupid!' Momoshiki complained.
"And in some way, I can use the dojutsu in my right eye more efficiently when I have it activated. My senses are also heigthened by many times over, along with my physical strength. But it consumes large amount of chakra, so I always have it deactivated." Boruto explained.
"Hmm, you have a very interesting dojutsu." Sakura said, "And it's similar to the dojutsu of Hikaru's daughters, though they're much, much more powerful. They can even shoot lasers with their dojutsu, how ridiculously overpowered is that?"
"Really? M-May I ask who's their mother?" A thin line of sadness escaped his voice as he already imagined who their mother is.
"Oh, it's the heiress of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hinata." Sakura answered, "she and Azumi have been married to Hikaru for 4 years now. Time really flies, you know? Ten years ago, we were just students in the academy, now we already have children of our own."
"O-Oh." Boruto missed his mother, very much so. She died the day the Otsutsuki Clan decided to take over their dimension's elemental nation. Many people died, including Choji-san, Shikamaru-san, Ino-san, the five kages, and many important people in his life. All the tailed beasts have been captured by the Otsutsuki Clan. Apparently, they also have numerous ten-tailed beasts in their arsenals, and the nine-tailed beasts are going to be used to make another ten-tailed beast, again.
Even though Kabuto-san revived a lot of strong shinobis, like all the previous Kages of every village, they still lost the war with those aliens. One by one, all the villages fell under the might of the Otsutsuki Clan. It was a losing war, that much they knew, but what else could they do? They had to fight back, they just had to.
Sakura noticed the face that Boruto's making, so she asked teasingly, "Hehehe, now I get it, you're a pursuer of Hinata, aren't you?" Boruto, Mitsuki, and Sarada choked almost immediately after she said that, "Heh, if so, you're too late, she's been taken already."
"N-No, not that. Well, uh, how do I say this? Let's go meet Hikaru-san so that I can explain our situation. You'll understand later." Boruto stood up and went to the door, so he could escape this awkward situation.
"Hey, wait for us, Boruto-kun." Mitsuki said as he immediately stood up and went after Boruto.
Now, Sarada was left along with Sakura. Awkwardness silently covered the room, and she knew she had to get out of this.
"So, let's go to, uh, Hikaru-san's house!" Sarada said, rather enthusiastic.
"Hm, let's go. I really don't need to be present in the hospital anyway, since these little things," She gestured at the small bottle of Divine Blessings, "can heal anyone, no matter the injury."
And so, they all went out of the hospital with Boruto still in an awkward state after hearing what Sakura said.
(A Few Minutes Later)
They arrived at Hikaru's house, and they were mesmerized by the beauty of it. It looks like some kind of futuristic house, it was even better than the houses they've seen.
*Ding* *Dong*
They stood in front of the gate as Sakura rang the doorbell of the house. A little while later, somebody opened the gate and Hikaru greeted them.
"Hmm? What are you doing here, Sakura? And who's these three behind you?" He asked.
"They asked me to bring them to you, apparently they have some kind of situation you have to know." Sakura explained.
Hikaru took a better look at them, and recognized one of them, "Oh! If it isn't Boruto, you're all grown up now, eh? Where's the other Sasuke?"
Boruto looked away and said, "He died, I don't want to admit it, but I think he died after sending us to this dimension." He did not want to say that, but deep inside his heart he just knew that his sensei, his second-father, is dead.
"That's rather… tragic. I wished to meet him again, since he's quite a cool guy. Come, we'll talk inside the house." Hikaru said as he gestured towards them to follow him.
(Inside The House)
They were in the living room, sitting on the sofa. In front of them was a luxurious table. Hikaru bought all kinds of expensive decorations for his house, but he made sure not to buy anything glass, since it might shatter and hurt the kids.
"Hikaru-sama, here are your drinks." Tayuya said as she put down the tray she was holding, and distributed the drinks around them. After she was done, she took the tray and went back to the kitchen to prepare today's lunch.
Mitsuki tried not to get surprised but he couldn't hide it and asked, "Was that Tayuya? My father's previous servant?"
"Hm? Father? Your father is Orochimaru?" Hikaru asked, quite surprised. He couldn't imagine that that snake will have a son, even after all he has done.
"He is, Hikaru-dono. Though he might be gone by now." He replied.
Meanwhile, Momoshiki is saying something to Boruto…
'Be careful, boy. That man is no pushover, his presence alone scares me. He could probably take on my entire clan with no problem, as much as I hate to say it. He must be the one who gave those lowly beings that divine elixirs. A godlike being like him, to be here in this plane of existence… Remember to be cautious, boy.' Momoshiki warned him. He tried to sound strong, but Boruto can hear the terrified voice behind that act.
Hikaru glanced at him, and said, "I assume you've just finished talking to the creature inside you?" Boruto tensed, "Don't worry, I know you mean no harm to me or my family. If you have been, you wouldn't be sitting in front of me."
Boruto sighed in relief, and said, "Hikaru-san, the reason I wanted to meet you is because I need your help. You're strong, strong enough for Momoshiki to be terrified of you,"
Hikaru raised an eyebrow and said, "And what is that?" He already guessed what he was going to say, but Hikaru wanted him to say it.
Boruto steeled his eyes and strengthened his courage, before asking Hikaru, "Please help us retake our dimension! Our home from those Otsutsuki!" He wasn't just asking him, he was basically begging Hikaru.
.
Hikaru sighed, then said, "I can't, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I really can't. The thing is, I can't travel through dimensions." This is true. Hikaru cannot travel through other dimensions, because of the rules that disembodied voice made. Unless he seals, or kills, all of the olden gods, he cannot travel through dimensions. Though, he can travel through the entire universe.
Boruto was devastated after knowing that fact.
But Hikaru smiled, and said, "Now, don't make that sad face. It's true that I can't travel through other dimensions other than this one, but that doesn't mean that the others can't. But even then, that still brings their safety. If they die there because the enemy is too strong, what do I say to their families? Do I tell them that they had to save another dimension, even though there are no benefits in doing that? They'll be heartbroken, and you know how it is when your loved ones die. I can send them, if only you tell me; what benefits would we get if we save your world?"
Boruto found himself stunned, not thinking this far. He thought that Hikaru-san was some kind of messiah that doesn't need any kind of benefits to save his world. He berated himself for being such a fool. There must be something he can give to them, something he can offer. Technologies? No, they'll have that in a few years time. An alliance? No, they're too weak. He may have not seen it, but he knew that they have plenty of strong shinobis around here.
He's run out of options! He needs to think something, and fast!
Suddenly, as he brainstormed, the voice of Momoshiki interrupted him.
'You do have sometime to give him, the tailed beasts.If you promise to give him all the tailed beasts in your world, then he might just budge. Even though I haven't seen much of his personality, I at least have observed long enough to know that he is a collector. But he's not as obsessed as the other collectors I've seen in my life. The only thing holding him back from stealing all the tailed beasts in this world is his moral compass. Just give it a try, boy.'
'Fine.' Boruto replied back.
Boruto then looked at Hikaru and said, "I have something to offer. If you help us, we'll give you all of our tailed beasts!"
"...!" Mitsuki was quite shocked, knowing that the tailed beasts are important to the Seventh. Naruto held them in high regards, and felt a deep connection with the tailed beasts, especially because he is a jinchuuriki himself.
"Boruto! If we give him the tailed beas-"
"I know, Sarada, I know. Dad would be upset, but this is our only choice." Boruto said with seriousness in his voice.
"But…"
Hikaru suddenly laughed, and said with an amused expression on his face, "Actually, we don't really need any benefits from you guys. We'll help you, as long as you don't get in the way of us capturing the Otsutsuki Clan, alive. You see, I'm quite curious about their kekkai genkai. If we capture them alive, we can experiment on them, extract their DNA so that we can implant them to our shinobi, make them procreate with a human and create half-breeds like the Sage Of Six-Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki. So, what do you say?"
Boruto was shocked. If he agrees to this, the Otsutsukis will suffer a fate worse than death. He bit his lip, if he doesn't agree, then his family and home will be destroyed. So he only said on word, a word that will torture the entire Otsutsuki Clan for centuries to come.
"Yes."
"Lovely! We have our deal now. You and everybody in your dimension won't interfere, once we've captured the Otsutsukis." Hikaru said, with a smile similar to that of a devil.
"Yes, I know." Boruto agreed.
"Now then, 3 days from now, the most powerful shinobis in this village will travel through your dimension with Sasuke's rinnegan ability. And of course, they will be equipped with the most powerful spare equipment I have."
Hikaru came up with this on the spot, since he knew how powerful kekkei genkai in the elemental nation. If he can get the Otsutsuki Clan's DNA, especially the main clan members, they will be able to implant Otsutsuki genes into a genin, thus giving them powerful kekkei genkai. And also, they have ten tailed beasts, who wouldn't want such things? He wanted to keep the one he killed in the 4th Great Ninja War as his pet, but it was too ugly, it was basically deformed beyond anything he has ever seen.
He has trust in Itachi and Sasuke to lead those shinobis he will send with them. Of course, he will not send Azumi, there's still a chance that she may get killed and he wouldn't want that now, would he?
Finally finished the chapter!
Now, Hikaru won't just torture them mindlessly. He will experiment on them, in a much safer and less painful way than Orochimaru, if that's better. But indeed, he will breed them with humans, so that he can see if he can recreate another Sage Of Six Paths. You might be against the idea, but remember; The Otsutsuki Clan won't stop at nothing just so they can plant another God Tree in a world and suck that world's energy, along with the creatures living on that planet.
They're basically doing this, "Hey, we're going to leave a tree in this plnet, which is bascially a blood-sucking tree, that will kill all life on this planet just so we can eat some fruit."
Yeah, not really the best kind of aliens.
Anyway, hope you enioyed the chapter, stay well, and as always, thank you for reading!
