The remaining four Truth-Seeking Orbs gathered in Boruto's hand.
Golden chakra rotated violently, forming a massive circular blade of compressed annihilation force.
With a single motion—
He hurled it toward Kinshiki Otsutsuki.
Kinshiki reacted instantly.
Red chakra erupted from his body as he manifested multiple weapons mid-air—blades, axes, tridents, spears—each forged from condensed energy.
They shot forward simultaneously.
The collision came a heartbeat later.
Boom—!
The crimson weapons shattered one after another under the crushing rotation of the golden ring.
Fragments scattered like embers.
The rotating disc did not slow.
Kinshiki attempted to absorb it—
But Truth-Seeking Orbs were not conventional ninjutsu.
The annihilation property tore through his guard.
The golden edge sliced through his arm—
And carved vertically across his torso.
Blood sprayed.
At the final moment, Kinshiki twisted his body to avoid being bisected completely.
He crashed to the ground, one-fifth of his body severed, regeneration struggling to keep pace with the damage.
"Stop!" Momoshiki Otsutsuki roared.
Boruto had already begun pursuing the advantage—
Then his Byakugan caught something.
Momoshiki had raised his palm toward Sumire.
The lightning Boruto had used earlier—
Absorbed.
Now redirected.
"Tch."
Boruto abandoned the chase instantly.
Flying Thunder God activated.
He reappeared in front of Sumire as the counterattack fired.
The released lightning tore through the air—
Boruto deflected its trajectory with a Truth-Seeking barrier, the shockwave rippling outward.
Momoshiki's expression darkened.
"What are you?" he demanded.
Boruto smirked faintly. "Just a lowly human, remember?"
Momoshiki's eyes narrowed.
He had encountered humans who defied gods before.
They all died.
But this one—
Endured.
Adapted.
Regenerated.
"Don't slow down now," Boruto said, breathing hard but smiling. "We've barely started."
Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode flickered out briefly—chakra reserves strained.
But Ryūchi Cave's senjutsu energy continued to circulate.
Natural energy gathered again.
With Kurama's chakra stabilizing the balance—
The dual Sage state reactivated.
Two different streams of senjutsu chakra spiraled within him without merging.
Not fusion.
Coexistence.
A dangerous equilibrium.
Momoshiki felt it.
That endurance.
That unnatural sustainability.
But that wasn't what unsettled him most.
It was Sumire.
Her chakra no longer felt human.
It resonated with space itself.
The entire dimension seemed subtly anchored to her presence.
This was not Kaguya's doing.
This was something else.
Kinshiki reappeared beside Momoshiki, kneeling despite his regenerating wounds.
They exchanged a silent look.
Decision made.
Kinshiki stood fully upright.
Without hesitation—
His body dissolved into concentrated red chakra.
A fruit formed in mid-air.
Momoshiki caught it calmly.
And consumed it.
Power detonated outward.
His form shifted.
Skin flushed red.
Horns elongated.
A third eye opened upon his forehead—
A yellow Rinnegan.
His severed arm regenerated, though the palm Rinnegan did not return.
Boruto clicked his tongue softly.
"Here we go."
This version was far more dangerous.
Behind him—
Sumire's chakra destabilized violently.
Silver light flared.
The dimension trembled.
Boruto turned.
Her body was being overwhelmed.
Nue's dimension was reacting to her.
Not the other way around.
After Nue's destruction long ago, the dimensional anchor had not vanished—
It had transferred.
To her.
She had unknowingly become the stabilizing core of this space.
And now that foreign Ōtsutsuki chakra had entered—
The balance was collapsing.
Boruto moved instantly.
He placed his palm against her forehead.
Through the Tenseigan's power, he forcibly redirected the overflowing chakra outward.
A blinding white eruption followed.
The released energy tore through the barren landscape, carving vast scars across the gray earth.
Even Momoshiki retreated momentarily, unwilling to meet that surge head-on.
Boruto grabbed Sumire's hand and leapt away from the epicenter.
The shockwave expanded like a miniature cataclysm.
When it finally settled—
Silence returned.
Boruto stared at the devastation.
That output…
It rivaled the destructive scale of Kaguya's techniques.
His expression hardened.
Sumire had inherited the dimensional authority of Nue's world.
But her human body was never meant to contain power on this scale.
If this continued—
She wouldn't survive.
