Chapter 127 The Cat Who Holds a Grudge
To Shiba Kiyokawa, upholding the correct history was a ridiculous statement.
Unfortunately, in his past life, he liked to use this tactic in many movies and TV shows.
Naruto, Attack on Titan, and even World of Warcraft have all tried this approach, but without exception, they are all filled with a fatalistic arrogance.
They always believe that there is only one predetermined path of fate that is correct, even if that path is full of tragedy and imperfection, and they will not allow those who come after them to deviate from it.
Shiba Kiyokazu has never liked this kind of argument.
In comparison, he preferred a saying from his previous life in the Celestial Empire: There were originally no roads in this world, but as more people walked on them, roads were formed.
There are no inherent historical tracks in this world; the tracks are created by the people who walk them!
So there is no such thing as a correct path; it's just that the path is under your feet!
That's why, the moment he heard Sasuke say "we must uphold the correct history," he knew that he and these Konoha people were destined to walk different paths.
Because he has been rebelling against the correct history since the first day he transmigrated!
Because of that so-called correct history, they wanted him dead from the very beginning!
At first, Shiba Kiyokawa only wanted to drive these people away.
After all, Sasuke in the final chapters is a Six Paths level powerhouse, and he doesn't want to provoke such a powerful enemy for no reason.
Unfortunately, he still doesn't know why Sasuke and the others are so persistent.
He didn't know that these people no longer had the strength to go back.
Unfortunately, they have no choice but to fight Lu Bu together, relying on the combined strength of the three members of Akatsuki to confront Sasuke!
Nagato bore the brunt of the pressure, unleashing Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in in turn, repeatedly thwarting Sasuke's attacks.
Xiao Nan played the support role. Among the three, she was the most skilled at flying and was always roaming the airspace of the battlefield.
However, surprisingly, it was Shiba Kiyokawa who dealt the highest damage!
Mental output is also output!
In just a few words, Sasuke was almost driven to the brink of collapse by his words.
On the ground, Hyuga Hanabi, who was still struggling with the three Pain puppets, was almost stunned by what she saw.
She never imagined that the incredibly powerful Sasuke could be unable to defeat a group of former Konoha "defeatists" for so long.
Even looking up from a distance, the situation in the air actually seemed to be that Sasuke was being suppressed?!
Good heavens!
This made her wonder: How exactly did Konoha win against Akatsuki back then?
If Shiba Kiyokawa could hear her thoughts, he would probably laugh and say: "What goes around comes around."
In the timeline that Hyuga Hanabi experienced, Naruto of Konoha used his talk-no-jutsu to kill Nagato.
So now that Shiba Kiyokawa has turned the tables and used his persuasive skills to suppress Konoha's Sasuke, isn't that reasonable?
Cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable.
However, this retribution seems far too heavy for Sasuke.
They've almost made people red-hot.
"You! Just how much do you know about Konoha? Who are you?! Where did you come from?"
Sasuke, his anger surging as he questioned Sasuke, raised his hand again.
A long scroll unfurled, and then with a bang, an enormous windmill-shaped shuriken appeared!
As Sasuke swung the shuriken, he formed a hand seal, and in an instant, the enormous shuriken split into two pieces in mid-air, shooting towards Shiba Kiyokawa with a sky-covering force!
Nagato then went to Shiba Kiyokawa's side again and raised his hand to block him.
"Shinra Tensei!"
While in the air, Sasuke was simultaneously manipulating the steel wire with one hand, controlling the flight path of these giant windmill shuriken at any time!
Even though these giant windmill shuriken were repelled by the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei, they were still forcibly pulled back by Sasuke in the next moment, which was unreasonable!
Even Shiba Kiyokawa's Kagura Mind's Eye sensed that the chakra of several of the shuriken was clearly different!
Those are Sasuke's clones disguised as shuriken!
Sure enough, the next moment when he completed the hand seal in mid-air, three ice flowers appeared behind him and spun rapidly, creating an ice whirlwind that blew away the shuriken.
"Bang bang bang!"
Several sounds rang out in succession, and seven or eight shuriken exploded, releasing puffs of white smoke. They then all transformed into one-armed Uchiha warriors, slashing down from the air with lightning crackling on their blades!
Shiba Kiyokawa gritted his teeth, thinking to himself: "No wonder he's a character who's already lived past the finale. You can't see Sasuke using hand seals at all in the current battles."
Damn it, you bastard who abandoned the spirit of the ninja!
The next moment, the ice flowers behind him began to spin faster, bringing with them a biting cold wind!
The cold wind carried icy blades, annihilating all the approaching clones!
He did not form any hand seals during this process either.
Oh, so I don't have the ninja spirit either. Never mind then.
Sasuke stared at the scene in a daze, then summoned a bird to catch him as he fell.
The more he fought, the more doubts arose within him.
Who exactly is this person in front of me?
He was mentally prepared for the Akatsuki organization to be troublesome, after all, he had joined the organization when he was young and knew how terrifying it was.
But I don't remember the Akatsuki having such a powerful Ice Release ninja back then!
Where did this bloodline ninja named Shiba Kiyokawa come from?
"Who exactly are you?" Sasuke asked once again.
This time, his tone was less angry and more wary.
Instead of answering, Shiba Kiyokawa asked, "I already gave my name. Why don't you tell me what you're doing in Loulan?"
If you truly want to preserve history, why not simply leave? What are your true motives for staying?
Even while fighting, Shiba Kiyokawa did not forget to continue to extract intelligence.
But Sasuke remained silent and did not answer.
The moment he caught up with Shiba Kiyokawa by flapping his ice wings, he smiled and spoke again.
"Are you thinking I won't notice the little brat who disappeared from your side while you keep delaying like this?"
You don't actually think I didn't notice that his true form disappeared after the battle started, do you?
You sent him to get close to the dragon vein, didn't you?"
Only at this moment did Sasuke's expressionless face completely break down.
In terms of strength, he couldn't suppress the three Akatsuki heroes of this timeline, and in terms of intelligence, he was no match for them.
"you--"
Meanwhile, Boruto, thinking he was being discreet, secretly sneaked back to Loulan, venturing deep underground, and was about to reach the core of the dragon vein.
Although Sasuke is very strong, he is constrained in battles in the past timeline. Therefore, from the beginning, their strategy was to have Sasuke and Hyuga Hanabi draw fire while Boruto took their turtle teleporter to approach the Dragon Vein.
They even made special arrangements to conceal it.
On the battlefield, Hyuga Hanabi was always accompanied by a shadow clone of Boruto.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the Uzumaki clan's innate ability, Kagura's Mind's Eye!
Shiba Kiyokawa noticed it shortly after the battle began!
After several probing attacks that struck Sasuke hard at the heart, seeing that the other was still able to endure and continue fighting, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately confirmed his guess!
Therefore, at this moment, just as Boruto approached the target, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought that the mission was about to be completed.
A cat's meow suddenly appeared behind him, startling him so much that he almost jumped up on the spot!
"Meow~ Gotcha! You naughty kid!"
Startled, Boruto tossed the turtle in his hand into the air, then frantically caught it, managing to prevent the important time-space teleporter from falling to the ground.
This scene had already caught Xiaoyu's attention.
"What's that in your hand?"
Boruto steadied the little turtle, and after realizing that what was blocking his way was just a white cat, his confidence immediately returned.
"Hmph! It's none of your business. You think a mere kitten can stop me?"
Xiaoyu didn't answer, but silently unrolled a scroll on her back and pressed down her paw.
With a "bang".
White smoke dissipated.
A middle-aged male specimen, half-processed, was retrieved from the scroll.
Although it's only half-finished, the basic functions are already sufficient for use.
The next moment, the connection was established, and the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes in front of Boruto. The spiral-shaped Rinnegan in his eye sockets was so conspicuous!
Of course, Hiroto recognizes eyes like that!
Because his master Sasuke had the same one!
In an instant, immense fear gripped Boruto's heart.
Hanzo, the Salamander of the Heavenly Path, coldly looked down at Boruto below.
Xiaoyu jumped onto his shoulder and, holding a grudge, stretched out her cat paw.
"Just a little kitten? Hmm?"
