In Konoha’s highest-level video conference room, Code had just finished an online eting with the other three Kage, seething with rage. He slamd the wooden table in front of him, shattering it.
*BANG!*
"A bunch of insolent lowly creatures!"
Code was consud with anger.
The eting itself was unremarkable, rely discussing the formation of a four-nation, four-village ninja alliance to create a massive force and attack Kirigakure, now occupied by the Kara Organization.
Code himself didn’t understand the concept of a ninja village alliance or its forces and had no intention of delving into the details of ninja treaties.
Essentially, he agreed to all the terms and conditions proposed by the other three Kage without hesitation, even allowing Konoha and the Land of Fire to bear most of the alliance’s military costs—a significant loss.
Of course, such losses ant nothing to Code. Konoha was rely a temporary tool to him, and he didn’t care how much it was damaged. Thus, the initial part of the eting went smoothly.
However, a rare disagreent arose when discussing who would lead the alliance forces. Code, intent on dominating all nations and mobilizing ninjas to besiege Sasuke, was highly ambitious for the leadership role.
Unfortunately, despite declaring his desire to lead, he was rejected by the other three Kage. The reason was simple: the temporary Eighth Hokage was too young.
In the eyes of the other three Kage, he was entirely unfit for such a massive responsibility. If the Hokage were still Uzumaki Jigen—Uzumaki Naruto, the Seventh Hokage in everyone’s mories—then the leadership role would undoubtedly belong to him.
But Code was rely Jigen’s son. Young and of the sa generation as Boruto and the others, he was a junior compared to the other Five Kage. Though they’d heard he had driven off Otsutsuki Sasuke, the three Kage didn’t dare entrust a critical role like alliance leader to a child not yet 15.
At the sa ti, the Fourth Tsuchikage, Kurotsuchi, and the Fifth Raikage, Darui, proposed that the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, lead the alliance. After all, during the Fourth Ninja World War, Gaara had served as a captain of the alliance forces, with both the experience and authority to match.
Such a proposal infuriated Code. How could he, a noble Otsutsuki, submit to these lowly creatures?
Code firmly refused, declaring that if he couldn’t lead the alliance, there would be no alliance, and Konoha would not join!
Instantly, the four-Kage eting reached a deadlock.
With no other choice—considering Code was the son of their close friend and for the sake of uniting the four hidden villages to face Otsutsuki Sasuke and the Fifth Ninja World War—Gaara reluctantly conceded, stating he could nominate Code as the alliance leader.
But before Code could respond, the forr Fourth Raikage, A, who had been listening off-cara on the Raikage’s side, angrily seized the cara. He shouted: If Code didn’t want an alliance, then so be it! Even without the alliance, without Konoha, Kumogakure could still annihilate the enemy forces and win the war! Kumogakure would never bow to any threats!
Then, Kumogakure cut the video feed, abruptly ending the four-Kage online eting.
Thus, with Kumogakure’s absence, the eting halted suddenly, ending unpleasantly. The hoped-for four-village alliance and ninja alliance forces failed to form.
Kurotsuchi and Gaara were forced to go offline, rushing to prepare their own forces. Whether the alliance ford or not, the Kara Organization’s threat remained, and necessary military preparations were critical.
Furious, Code slamd the table, itching to teleport imdiately and kill that annoying Fourth Raikage!
But he restrained himself. After all, all ninjas were currently enemies of Otsutsuki Sasuke. No matter how angry he was, he didn’t want to help Sasuke eliminate rivals. Having suffered a loss before, Code had beco much calr.
More importantly, he now only wanted to know: what exactly were Sasuke and his group trying to do?
What was the point of unifying the ninja world?
Even if Sasuke destroyed all other ninja villages and nations, as long as he couldn’t undo the Divine Technique Omnipotence or defeat Code himself, it would all be futile.
Code was confident that the bold and cunning Sasuke wouldn’t act foolishly. He must have so sly plan or calculation Code didn’t know about. Without understanding this, Code didn’t even dare leave Konoha Village, let alone defeat Sasuke’s side.
Thus, he reactivated Daikokuten, pulling out Eida, whom he always kept with him, and imdiately forced her to use Senrigan again to observe Sasuke’s movents and intentions.
Powerless to resist, Eida could only comply. Soon, she gathered a wealth of information through Senrigan.
"They seem to know about my existence and the effects of Omnipotence..."
"What? How could they?"
Code was shocked. Eida’s Omnipotence was one of his greatest secrets. How could Sasuke and his group learn about it so easily?
"Could that bastard Amado have leaked it? No, he only knows of Eida’s existence, not about Omnipotence..."
Code had a suspicion but quickly dismissed it.
Omnipotence was a passive ability Eida had kept hidden, one she couldn’t control and had never used before. In theory, it was information only Otsutsuki would know. Even if Amado realized Eida had a hidden ability, he couldn’t possibly know the na and specific effects of Omnipotence.
"Quick, look into the past. See who told them!"
Code urged Eida.
Resigned, Eida continued using Senrigan to review past information. Suddenly, she shuddered slightly, as if witnessing an unimaginable, terrifying scene!
Monts later, Eida exited Senrigan and gave Code an answer: "It was probably Boruto who told Sasuke. I don’t know the specific reason."
Code imdiately understood upon hearing this.
"Boruto?"
"So, it must be Momoshiki who told that brat about Omnipotence..."
"That bastard Momoshiki! Trash! Garbage!"
"Even in death, he dares ruin my plans!"
Code cursed Momoshiki, deeply despising the disgraceful Otsutsuki. But since he needed Boruto as a sacrifice for the young Juubi, he could only hold back for now.
"Fine, even if they know about Omnipotence, it’s useless. As long as I have you, they can’t do anything."
"Besides, show again what Sasuke’s doing now. Show his real goal!"
Code kept pressuring Eida, ordering her to continue using Senrigan to steal information. Eida struggled to support her weakened body, observing as commanded.
"Sasuke is organizing forces to attack Kumogakure. He also seems to have sent Boruto and Kawaki to capture Bijuu..."
"Capture Bijuu? What does he want to do?"
"It’s the Divine Tree! I saw Sasuke tell Boruto and the others that the Ninja World War is just a cover. He wants to use this opportunity to capture Bijuu, plant a Divine Tree, and obtain a chakra fruit!"
Eida’s answer shocked Code again. He couldn’t help himself:
"What?"
"Capture Bijuu? Plant a Divine Tree?"
"How dare that bastard plan to obtain a chakra fruit?"
A lowly ninja world human daring to aim for a chakra fruit?
Sasuke’s ambition and actions infuriated Code further. It felt like soone was targeting his forbidden possessions—lowly creatures he always belittled.
However, Code managed to suppress his anger and grew calr.
"Hmph! How foolish."
"Almost scared there."
"That lowly Uchiha Sasuke, still aiming for the Divine Tree and its fruit..."
"Does he have a young Juubi in his hands? Without it, what sweet dreams is he chasing?"
"Even if he gathers all the Bijuu, he can’t plant a Divine Tree. The only young Juubi in the world is in my hands—I’m invincible!"
"Unless..."
Code, who had been elated, suddenly recalled sothing.
Though the only young Juubi was in his possession, that didn’t an planting a Divine Tree was impossible!
Rember, there was one mature Divine Tree—Kaguya’s, already a perfect Juubi. As long as all Bijuu were gathered and he obtained the Gedō Mazō, he could revive that Juubi, plant a Divine Tree again, and produce a chakra fruit!
Could Sasuke have a way to obtain Kaguya’s Gedō Mazō?!?!
Code broke out in a cold sweat, as if seeing Sasuke’s true goal, his heart trembling.
If Sasuke truly obtained a Divine Tree and ate a chakra fruit, he might actually beco Otsutsuki Sasuke!
Disaster—wouldn’t that an he’d beco the replacent?
Even after being killed by Otsutsuki Sasuke, he’d be seen as the substitute... That’s terrifying!
Code was drenched in sweat just thinking about it.
"No way! I can’t let Sasuke get the Bijuu, let alone the Gedō Mazō!"
"Quick, show if Sasuke has obtained the Gedō Mazō! What’s his real intent...?"
Anxious, Code forced Eida to spy on Sasuke again, as if wanting to see every detail, even when Sasuke used the bathroom.
Unfortunately, Eida couldn’t hold out. Her body went limp, instantly shutting off Senrigan, and she collapsed unconscious to the ground.
After repeatedly using Senrigan in a single day, Eida was utterly drained, no longer able to activate her ability. She wasn’t an Otsutsuki God, incapable of using Senrigan endlessly.
Seeing Eida faint, Code showed a displeased expression, unable to stop himself from cursing: "Useless trash! Can’t even handle this much."
Though he cursed, Eida was now his personal property, and nothing could happen to her. So Code checked her body, and after ensuring no major issues, he placed her back into the Daikokuten dinsion.
"Since I can’t confirm for now whether Sasuke has the Gedō Mazō, I’ll focus on the Bijuu."
"Using the Ninja World War as a cover to secretly capture Bijuu?"
"Uchiha Sasuke, your tricks are clever, but unfortunately, I’ve seen through them!"
"I’ll never let you succeed."
"Hmm... Who should I send to stop Boruto and Kawaki?"
"Why not go myself and take this chance to capture those two brats?"
With the informational advantage from Senrigan, Code grew more confident, feeling he had fully grasped Sasuke’s plans. So he began plotting how to thwart Sasuke and his group’s actions.
Just then, Shikamaru’s voice suddenly sounded from outside the eting room.
"Hokage-sama?"
"What is it?"
"Orochimaru wants to et. Do you have ti?"
"Orochimaru?"
Code was startled, searching his mories for the na.
Information about specific ninjas was rough data Isshiki had glanced at before. Why? Because Naruto and Sasuke’s brilliance during the Fourth Ninja World War overshadowed everyone else, and Isshiki hadn’t paid special attention to ninjas below them.
(He’s so genius ninja scientist like Amado?)
(Also seems to be Uchiha Sasuke’s teacher, having once ntored him?)
Though Code didn’t know Orochimaru well, it didn’t stop him from suddenly getting a brilliant idea.
