Trees Chapter 336 My Great Son Who Can't Be Called Anymore

"No way...”

"Are you two out of your minds?!"

Even Uzumaki Stark couldn’t take it anymore. He had called his main body here to find a way to save Shino.

Not to make things worse!

Shino, who was unconscious, was already in critical condition.

If these two gave him another beating...

Uzumaki Stark had a feeling he’d be attending his friend’s funeral tomorrow.

"Uzumaki Stark, you’re still young. There’s a lot you don’t understand."

Naruto pulled out the Six Paths Black Whip, cracked it with a sharp snap, and strode toward the unconscious Shino with a wicked grin.

Beside him, Sasuke simply hoisted Shino over his shoulder.

They planned to take Shino away first.

After all…

Doing this kind of thing in someone else’s home was a bit too rude.

"Don’t worry, we’ve got a solution."

Sasuke lifted Shino, Naruto tossed out a portal, and the two of them left one after the other.

Uzumaki Stark grabbed his own yellow hair and yanked at it frantically.

"Ahhhh!"

"How the hell am I supposed to relax?!"

After saying that, he also dove through the portal after them.

Naruto and Sasuke’s idea was simple. Since Shino had fallen unconscious after devouring the red hair, and the source of that red hair was Boruto...

Then all they had to do was replicate what they’d done when they whipped Shinno.

It's not a big deal.

After bringing Shino to the villa, Sasuke chopped down two trees with his Heavy Xuan Ruler, carved a cross out of them, and tied Shino to it.

Meanwhile, Naruto was already eager with the whip in hand.

"Wait..."

"Are you sure this won’t just make things worse?"

Uzumaki Stark hesitated for a long time before finally tugging at his original self’s sleeve.

He and Shino were on pretty good terms.

If possible, he really didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.

Especially now that the Totem of Undying couldn’t be used.

"It’s fine."

Naruto fished out the Shinigami’s wooden token from his pocket and tossed it to Sasuke.

"Sasuke, if Shino stops breathing, just turn him into a Shinigami."

"Got it."

Sasuke caught the wooden token and nodded seriously.

"Hold on!"

"What do you mean by turn him into a Shinigami!?"

Uzumaki Stark panicked even more at their unilateral decision.

"What if the transformation fails?!"

Crack…

The whip lashed out. Naruto ignored Uzumaki Stark completely and started whipping Shino.

With the first strike, Shino didn’t make a sound. Sasuke stepped forward to check his breathing. After confirming he was still alive, he gave Naruto a look to continue.

"Relax, I, Uzumaki Naruto, am always reliable."

With that, Naruto swung the whip in wide arcs, the sharp cracks filling the air like firecrackers during New Year’s.

"Uh... this..."

"Stop it!!"

"Shino’s already convulsing!!"

Uzumaki Stark tried to rush forward and stop his main body, but Sasuke grabbed him by the collar, preventing him from taking another step.

Meanwhile, with each lash of the whip, Shino’s body twitched violently on the cross.

But Naruto still didn't stop.

Because...

He noticed thin strands of red hair being whipped out of Shino’s body.

That was Boruto’s sinister Chakra!!

"Naruto! Keep going!!"

"It’s working!"

"Boruto’s power is fading!"

Sasuke shouted excitedly. Seeing the situation, Uzumaki Stark stopped struggling and stared at his main body in shock.

‘What the hell...’

‘What kind of logic was this?!’

However, while Sasuke and Naruto noticed the red hair receding from Shino’s body, they failed to see that the insects hidden inside him were merging with the red hair under the influence of the Six Paths whip.

And they were even stealing traces of Six Paths’ power.

"What a joke!"

"A mere Boruto, how can he be my opponent?"

Naruto boasted arrogantly, pulling out another whip and lashing Shino from both sides.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, the moment Naruto and Sasuke shouted ‘Boruto’, the shed red hair underwent a bizarre transformation.

Two monstrous, tumor-like creatures materialized out of thin air.

The stench of rot and blood filled the air, accompanied by countless incomprehensible whispers.

The two creatures turned toward Naruto, jaws gaping wide, ready to devour him whole.

Bang…

Uzumaki Stark, unable to endure the mental corruption any longer, ended his years-long mission and returned to his main body. The flood of memories merging back into Naruto’s mind left him frozen for a few seconds.

"Naruto!!"

Seeing his good brother in danger, Sasuke yelled urgently.

The Duel Space activated almost instinctively, pulling the dazed Naruto and the unconscious Shino away from the scene.

"Damn it!"

"What the hell is going on?!"

Naruto only snapped back to his senses after entering the Duel Space.

"I don’t know..."

"We need to get out of here, fast."

"Those two monsters appearing in Konoha is definitely not a good…"

“Roar…”

Before Sasuke could finish, the monstrous howls echoed in their ears again.

“What the hell!!”

Sasuke rolled aside to dodge the monster’s attack, cursing under his breath, his heart pounding with panic.

‘What the hell?!’

‘How the hell did these things follow us into the Duel Space?!’

"Shinra Tensei!!"

Hum…

Naruto held the coffin in his left hand, his right arm wrapped around the unconscious Shino.

With a single motion, he unleashed a repulsive force that sent the two monsters flying before they could even let out another roar.

"Damn it!"

"These things… you can’t think about them, you can’t mention them!!"

"And we can’t even say Boruto’s name anymore!!"

Naruto quickly pieced together what had just happened… the monsters had appeared the moment they uttered his son’s name.

‘Goddamnit!’

‘We couldn’t even say his name now...’

‘Was he really turning into some kind of Jashin?!’

“Roar…”

Another howl confirmed Naruto’s theory.

And this time, it wasn’t just the two in the distance...

Naruto realized there was now a third monster.

"Naruto! Shut the hell up!"

Sasuke, seeing the enemy count increase, seriously considered sewing Naruto’s mouth shut.

Whoosh…

Seven Heavenly Flames flickered behind Sasuke as he levitated slightly off the ground, hurling attacks at the creatures.

"Naruto!!"

"What the hell did you do now?!"

Inside the seal space, Kurama, who had been playing a round of Landlords, felt the overwhelming malice and nearly jumped out of his fur.

‘Did this kid have to stir up trouble every damn time?!’

In his thousand years in the Shinobi World, Kurama had never sensed malice this terrifying.

"Kurama... what is that?"

The confused Gyuki turned to Kurama.

Even Shukaku, who had been tied up as the ‘Landlord’, stopped struggling and peered outside… only to see countless black and red shadows creeping into view.

His mind instantly fogged over.

Crack…

A whip snapped through the air, and Shukaku’s vision cleared just in time for him to howl.

“It hurts, it hurts!!”

Kurama, holding the whip, shot him a warning glance.

"Don’t look."

"If you get corrupted, you’ll actually die."

Shukaku: “!!!”

Kurama’s tone was deadly serious, his expression grave.

"Boruto again...?"

He muttered under his breath, while Shukaku and Gyuki exchanged glances, completely lost.

But before they could ask, Naruto’s furious roar echoed through the seal space.

"Immortal Emperor, shut up! Stop saying that name!"

"Boruto?"

“Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!”
