Outside the walls of Konoha Hidden Village.

"Well, do you have a way to track down Calder through these claw marks?" A Konoha ninja looked at him wistfully.

Naruto half-crouched on the ground, rubbing his fingers against the belt-like "claw marks" on the trunk of the tree, through which Calder was able to move himself or others between locations, according to Amado's information.

It's not space-time ninjutsu, but it's a product of space-time ninjutsu to science.

"Unfortunately, no." Naruto shook his head slightly, "Are there many marks like this?"

"I found only four on the outer walls of the village; Inside the village, it hasn't been discovered yet." Ninja said.

"And, according to Sakai-sama's instructions, a team of three has been deployed to monitor the 'Claw Marks' everywhere."

"Your Excellency, the Seventh Generation, please." A shadow man suddenly appeared.

"What's the matter?" Naruto looked sideways at him.

"In other ninja villages, 'claw marks' have also been found, and the village is holding a meeting to discuss the matter." The dark part illustrates the situation.

"I see."

……

Feeling the sense of peeping around him, Kawaki lowered his eyes slightly, looking at his empty left palm.

During this time, Konoha not only resumed monitoring him; Some gossip began to spread among the villagers, and now no matter where he appeared, people recognized him and cast hateful glances at him.

After all, you are just a person to be used, and there is no place for you here......

Inexplicably, what Otsuki said at the beginning resurfaced in his mind.

"Just outsiders...... After all, is it just my wishful thinking......" Kawaki laughed to himself, he thought more than once that this would be his home, a place he had to protect with all his might.

Pick up the mineral water and bread on the side.

This is his dinner.

It was also him, one of the few who could afford it.

Perhaps, it's time to leave......

Kawaki's mind couldn't help but think of the loving figure of Shichiyome, and he didn't want the other party to be difficult because of himself.

Teacher Bofeng's teaching these days has enabled him to vaguely see why he has been treated like this.

Tear pull~

Cheap bread is jerky, and it doesn't have the aroma and smoothness of freshly baked bread.

But with the same cheap mineral water, you can barely swallow it.

Swish!

"Boruto's mother has prepared dinner, what are you doing here?" Shichiyome appeared behind him.

「…… Wouldn't it be nice to do that once in a while?" Kawaki quietly withdrew his gaze, his eyes became firm, and he finished the bread in his hand in three or two bites.

"Do you think this obvious lie can fool me?" Nanyome sat down beside him, "After all, you're the most active eater in our family."

Kawaki didn't know how to answer, so he could only look at the village.

I really like this village that you are guarding but she doesn't seem to have a place for me......

……

Knock knock!

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Naruto's voice came out.

Kawaki glanced at the Konoha ninja who was watching him behind him, and after entering the room, he closed the door without hesitation.

He knew that these people would not dare to spy on him as he entered this room.

"Have you decided?" Naruto, who was sitting cross-legged, looked directly into his resolute eyes, as if he understood his determination, and picked up the wedge pill that was lying across his knees with his right hand and asked.

"I've decided, re-brand the wedge!" Kawaki said in a deep voice.

"I see." Naruto let out a light breath and stood up, "Leave your shadow clone and eliminate the breath, okay?"

Kawaki was puzzled, but he did it anyway.

"The entire Konoha Village is covered with a perceptual barrier, as long as there is a chakra that is not recorded in the database within the Konoha Village, that's it

will trigger an alarm." Naruto explained why.

"Although the barrier will only be tested when people enter Konoha, you are a 'key care object', and I can't guarantee that the Yamanaka clan is not paying special attention to you."

"Half an hour later, the shadow clone will go back to the residence of the Seven Generations on his own." Naruto handed the Kawaki Shadow clone a flying thunder god kunai.

Even if he has a special status, he can't live with the Seven Daime family all the time, so Konoha arranged this residence for him.

"I can give you a guarantee, if something happens to you, Amado will bury you."

Putting his hand on Kawaki's shoulder, the two disappeared into the room.

……

"Did he make any moves?" The shift ninja asked.

"Same as before." The spy ninja shook his head slightly.

Through the light and shadow on the curtain, they could clearly see that Amado was sitting at his desk, writing something.

"Go and rest." Said the shift ninja.

"He's moving!"

A few people stared at each other, only to see the dark shadow behind the curtain get up, and after a while, the light in the bathroom came on.

"Just going to the bathroom."

Seeing this scene, several people returned to their leisurely posture just now.

"A silencing barrier has been laid." Naruto's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the walls and see the movements of several watchers.

"Kawaki, you're here." Amado tapped the cigarette butt and smiled.

"What do you mean?" Kawaki was very upset with his eyes that saw through everything.

"Your feelings for the wedge are more than what you think you hate." Amado said inexplicably.

"Please, Lord Bofeng, you should be able to sense the Flying Thunder God Kunai I put in the lab."

Naruto nodded slightly, leaving behind a shadow clone and leading the two to the lab.

Click~

Amado's eyes seemed to be unfettered by the darkness, and he easily found the switch of the light.

"Aren't you afraid of being seen?" Kawaki scoffed.

"This lab is closed." Amado said, pulling out a slightly blackened bottle of liquid from the long tin box in the corner.

"What is this?" Kawaki's complexion changed slightly.

"Looks like you remember it." Amado pumped the liquid into the syringe, "But it's normal to remember, you've been soaked in him for quite some time."

"Can you talk to me about it?" Naruto broke the dumb mystery between the two.

"After I was chosen by Cixian, he soaked me in this liquid, and in the process of [infection], children like me died one after another, and I became the only one who survived, the only one who was suitable." Kawaki recounted the painful memories he remembered.

"This is actually a culture medium made by the cells of the big barrel wood, and the reason why he soaked you in the culture medium is to accurately screen out the body that can carry his wedge." Amado told the reason for everything.

"He was weak and couldn't brand too many wedges."

Multiply~

Amado squeezes the gas out of the syringe.

"This culture liquid is specially made by me, and it can stimulate the [intelligence] about the big barrel wood in your body to the greatest extent."

Kawaki didn't hesitate and stretched out his arm in front of Amado.
