"I told you already that Daemon reflects attacks. That's all you need to know. At least for the time being..."

"You really are a tough nut to crack."

[Y/N] nodded. Couldn't have said it better myself.

"Don't take offense, Code. We only just met, you know."

Okay, she has a point.

"More time needs to pass before I can show you everything."

[Y/N]'s analysis was spot on. "Bedazzlement and Senrigan. I haven't assumed that there's all there is to you, of course, but...don't tell me you've got other abilities that you haven't demonstrated yet?"

But those are already so strong. What else could she have?

"Well wouldn't that be interesting?"

"Sorry Code! I don't mind telling you...but since big sis says no, I can't! Maybe next time!!"

What? Why not?

[Y/N] hit their head on the table, alarming everyone to their presence.

"Who's there?"

[Y/N] knew her cover was blown, but stayed hidden, trying to hide as Daemon bounced around the room in search of the noise. The sheer speed of his agility, flipping, handstanding, running on the walls, crushing parts of the industrialized walls with his feet, and his body him seem invincible.

He kept going for what seemed like hours. Meanwhile, a foot crossed [Y/N]'s path. Desperate, [Y/N] shut down their chakra flow as they put their fingers together, unintentionally using the Chakra Suppression technique. Eida paused.

"Maybe later."

The fear corrupted [Y/N]'s mind as [Y/N] was haunted with the dead and near dead guards, fearful that would happen to them if they got caught off. About to run out of chakra, [Y/N] ran out of thoughts.

[Y/N]'s eyes awakened. Did I fall asleep? [Y/N] woke up and slipped to the other side. Daemon was now asleep, Eida activated her Senrigen, determined and driven.

"Kawaki's on the move. He's headed somewhere. By himself."

Code's glare was filled with intrigue and confusion. "How'd he lose the people surveilling him?"

"He's nullifying his chakra signature. It's a trick that comes naturally to all Otsutsuki, but he shouldn't have been aware of it yet."

Awn, [Y/N] fawned at watching her protect her older sibling.

"Maybe it was instinctive, just like how a foal is able to get up on its own right after being born?"

"I don't know his motives, but if he's alone, I can't let this perfect chance slip by."

[Y/N] watched him grow his claws talons, ready and eager to take them down, watching him slip out. Yet, seeing his mouth emerge from the claw to talk to Eida was off putting, even in a world filled with fantastical abilities.

She had to agree with Eida's gross comments.

"Kawaki's outside the village, heading due west."

"I wonder why. Heh. Whatever it is, I'll just ask him directly."

He's going without backup?

Eida's directions were clear. "A little more to the right. That's it. Now keep going straight.

"It's been a while since we last saw each other. What...should we talk about first?"

If he's going after Kawaki, then does that mean Boruto will come?

Suddenly Eida yelled. "Code! Don't accidentally kill him!"

Silence emerged for several minutes until Eida got frustrated.

"Hey!"

Is he winning that much?

"You're the one who needs to quit it, Code! Aww! You've totally battered Kawaki's Pretty face!!"

Dameon nuzzled, slowly waking up in her arms.

Oh no, this is getting worse.

"Hmm?" "What's all the noise?!" He started shouting. "Is it morning already!!??"

"It's still night, go back to sleep!"

Eida's moody slowly shifted, whispering to herself she was about to see Kawaki soon.

"Wait, Code, you're about to get interrupted by....Code, are you listening? Code!"

What happened, who's coming.

"It's Boruto," sighing, "Uzumaki. You deserved that."

He's there?! I have to go, [Y/N] told themselves.

It changed again. "As you can see, it's Boruto. He tracked Kawaki there. Since you went wild instead of listening to me, you couldn't hear my warning."

But didn't Kawaki erase his chakra?

"Who knows? Could be because he's Otsutsuki, or due to karma. Either way, it seems they have a special bond. I'm jealous."

How dare he, [Y/N] thought. Always getting in the way of what people wanted.

"There are other other Leaf shinobi who are still mainly searching inside the Leaf Village. But now that Boruto's there, it's only a matter of time before they show up too."

Good, maybe he can wipe them all out in a blow, but he'll need help to do so!

Eida was still listening to conversation when she blushed.

"What? No way! Kawaki wants to meet me?! Oh my!"

Is she okay? Right, he's immune to her love enhancement. She's genuine?

"It's happening?"

It'll be done that easily?

Eida commanded the Code to raise the claw mark's ear more so that she could hear, including [Y/N] hearing the sound of Boruto's voice and Kawaki's argument.

"What the? What was that for?!"

"Fine! Do whatever you want?!"

"I get how much you wanna protect dad! But at the same time, it's my right to protect you! Right, bro?"

Someone willing to help their loved pens, [Y/N] thought, crumbling anger into [Y/N]'s own fists.

Eida's hands covered her mouth. "Oh my, seriously?! That's so hot!! Oh, Boruto, who knew both of you were cool."

[Y/N]'s anger only grew after that. A murderer, cool? Wait, Code's technically the same.

[Y/N] overheard Code's debate, being called an underling, his drive for the Otsutsuki despite being a follower, and Boruto insistence.

Eida whispered how the fight was going on between Code and Boruto, the former seemingly like they were gaining the upper hand. Code could win this.

That conversation over True Essence made [Y/N] furious. Boruto could get even stronger, even more driven to kill, even more powerful. And Eida noted he was about to activate it.

[Y/N]'s heart fawned. [Y/N] wanted Code to win.
