[V2] - 52. Operation Begins!

"You foolish, lowly creatures! You cannot stop my resurrection!"

Otsutsuki Momoshiki regained consciousness again. He slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smug smile as he looked around at the environment.

However—

In front of him...

Where is this?!

He looked around in surprise at the white clouds in the sky, the green trees and grass, and the strange stone gate before him... but it seemed like there were no living creatures at all.

Could it be that those lowly creatures were afraid he'd destroy that Konoha village again, so they directly teleported him here?

Otsutsuki Momoshiki frowned, casually sweeping his gaze around.

But—

After a moment—

He no longer cared. As long as he was awake, that was enough. This time... he definitely wouldn't let those lowly creatures put him back to sleep.

He thought of those strange, three-tomoe eyes—so terrifying. Could that be... a special ability possessed by those lowly creatures?

In any case, this time he couldn't underestimate those guys!

However—

He had already been awake for quite a while, so why hadn't those lowly creatures shown up yet?

And—

Something about his body felt strange!

Momoshiki looked down and immediately... froze again.

This body!

This body!

It was actually his original form!

"So that's how it is! Hahaha!" Otsutsuki Momoshiki let out a burst of arrogant, wild laughter. "The Kama has completely thawed? I've been resurrected!"

No wonder those guys hadn't appeared!

Without that fox demon, are they scared now?

[T/N: Fox demon = Naruto]

But to have thawed so quickly... why didn't he feel anything?

It was like he closed his eyes, then opened them—and he had already revived?

How much time had passed?

And who exactly was helping him?

"Urashiki! Is it you?" Momoshiki slightly curled his lips, speaking arrogantly, "Looks like you're not so usele—"

Before he could finish—

Suddenly—

That stone gate began to glow with a bluish light.

Momoshiki couldn't help but turn his head to look.

And then—

His pupils shrank. The arrogant smile vanished from his face, replaced by utter disbelief as he stared at the familiar figure that appeared before him.

"You... this can't be!"

...

"So this is the virtual world?" Boruto twisted his body a bit, then performed a slightly more difficult taijutsu move. His face immediately showed a surprised expression. "It really does feel pretty realistic!"

After speaking—

He looked ahead... as if something had just appeared before him.

"What does it feel like? It's kind of like being in..." Boruto pondered, "a very realistic illusion, I guess!"

That's right.

At this moment, he was livestreaming. The first player to play a virtual game on stream!

Of course—

At first, when Uncle Yuto approached him about livestreaming to promote the virtual space, Boruto had refused.

After all, he knew his own situation. He had already become the negative example among the young people of Konoha Village. If he livestreamed... wouldn't people throw rotten eggs at him?

But—

When he heard that just by livestreaming, he'd get a chance to fight the Otsutsuki Momoshiki—the one who had taken over his body and caused him so much trouble—

He agreed!

And honestly—

It looked pretty fun!

"What? The streamer's that severely internet-addicted teenager from last time? How could that be me?" Boruto shook his head without hesitation and declared righteously, "I've always advocated for healthy internet use and strongly reject staying up all night gaming! At the same time, I call on all underage viewers to avoid getting addicted to the virtual world. Study hard, improve every day, and become the pillars of Konoha!"

However—

Even though he said that, Boruto had already become famous on the internet. How could a few words make people believe him?

The screen was flooded with comments—

[It's that guy! Beat him to death!]

[If I see him in-game next time, he's dead!]

[I don't even care about playing the game! This guy must die!]

Of course, plenty of people were also curious about this new thing launched by the Yuto Group, urging Boruto to hurry up and start.

Actually, the game wasn't finished yet. There was only one boss in it—Otsutsuki Momoshiki. This time, it was just a simple test run for Boruto to try it out and see if there was anything that needed adjustment.

Very quickly—

Boruto geared up, wearing newbie shorts, a newbie shirt, and holding a wooden stick in his hand. Even Boruto didn't know how to complain about this setup!

It was just a test—

Why didn't Uncle Yuto give him some overpowered gear, so he could just crush Momoshiki straight up?

But—

After a short while—

Looking at the stone gate before him, Boruto held his breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

As soon as he entered through that gate, he'd get to punch and kick his enemy!

Just thinking about it got him pumped!

Without hesitation, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Watch me solo this boss!"

Boruto stepped through the stone gate. A flash of light passed, and the scenery changed. It seemed he had arrived in a forest. In midair—stood that familiar figure.

Otsutsuki Momoshiki!

"Momoshiki!" Boruto roared and charged forward. "Take this—sword attack!"

However—

Just as he charged forward—

Not long after—

"Bang!!!"

He was instantly blown up!

[This streamer is so bad!]

[That's it?]

[I didn't even react yet!]

[He died before even getting close? Is this guy a dropout from six years of ninja school?!]

[Now I believe it wasn't him that night. Someone this bad, acting that arrogant, would've died long ago!]

In an instant—

The resurrected Boruto's face turned pale, then flushed red as he looked at all the ridicule.

Wait a minute! Something isn't right!

Didn't Uncle Yuto rig the system for him?

"It was an accident! Definitely just an accident!" He took a deep breath, looked at the wooden sword that reappeared in his hand, and muttered, "I rushed too fast just now. Uncle Yuto probably didn't have time to react. Now that he's seen me get destroyed, he should've activated the cheat!"

Then—

With renewed confidence, he shouted loudly, "Watch me destroy him this time for real! Let me show you the power of the God of Online Games!"

Amidst a flood of mocking comments, he charged in again.

Meanwhile, inside, Otsutsuki Momoshiki looked at Boruto's body—which had disappeared after being killed—with a cold, dismissive sneer. "I don't know what's going on, but now that I've been resurrected, there's no need for lowly creatures like you to exist!"

However—

He was alive!

So why was that guy still alive too?

Just as Momoshiki was deep in thought—

Suddenly—

"Come meet your death!"

That figure appeared again!

...

"It looks like once Otsutsuki Momoshiki wakes up, this Kama revives with him too." Yuto looked at that strange server. At this moment, the server was covered in patterns, looking like some seasoned street veteran—plus, it even glowed.

The Otsutsuki Server!

High-level stuff!

"Though it seems the processing power is struggling to keep up. As expected of such a long-lived Otsutsuki. It looks like I'll need to add more servers!"

"You know... Boruto really believes you gave him cheat powers." Beside him, Hanabi looked helplessly at the pondering Yuto, then glanced at the livestream on the screen.

At this point, no one knew how many times Boruto had charged in, only to be killed.

From a livestream full of ridicule, it had now turned into one full of encouragement. You could imagine... just how pitiful Boruto had become!

She glanced again at Momoshiki—his face was turning green, as if he couldn't understand what was going on—and sighed, "That guy looks like he's about to lose it."

"He's already about to break? These Otsutsuki are way too fragile! When more players show up later, how's he supposed to handle the crowd?"

"...I think you better not say this was your doing!"

"???"

"I'm afraid once the Otsutsuki from this world see it, they'll stop collecting chakra and just want to kill you!"

"...That's... a fair point!"

...

At the same time—

Somewhere remote in the ninja world.

Otsutsuki Urashiki was carrying a fishing rod, frowning slightly as he gazed into the distance.

That was—

The direction of Konoha.

"Strange! Why does it feel like I keep sensing Momo's energy fluctuating today?"

It felt like he was waking up, then falling asleep, then waking again!

It looks like Momo is also working hard to resurrect himself~

Otsutsuki Urashiki's lips curled up slightly in a grinning smile. "It looks like I can't slack off anymore either!" With that, he turned to look at Orochimaru beside him and cheerfully said, "Let's begin our operation too~!!!"
