Chapter 340 The Name of the Story

Boruto clenched his fists: [Even if I knew where she was, I wouldn't tell you. If you caught her, she would be in trouble.]

The Uchiha clan member said: [That is not a misfortune. The meaning of her existence is to bring us victory.]

[Fighting for the clan is what makes a ninja! 】

……

Ninja World

"This self-righteous look is really infuriating!"

"Why do they define the meaning of their own people's existence so casually? They are just looking for excuses for their shameless bullying of children!"

"In their eyes, Wuming is not even a human, let alone a ninja..."

"That era itself was like that. Rather than saying that Wuming's experience was unfortunate, it's better to say that Wuming was unfortunate to be born in that bad era."

[You just use her as a weapon! What ninja! ]

Hearing Boruto's angry question, the Uchiha clan member said calmly: [Oh... You know it very well. ]

【This is the fate of being born in this era. 】

[People who fight as ninjas and people who are used as weapons, this symbiotic relationship will make the clan stronger. 】

Boruto: [Does this mean I have to mess up someone's life? ]

【This is the Warring States Period. 】

Boruto looked at the three people in fighting stances and said: [...I will never...let you do this...I won't let her go through...such a painful thing again! ]

The Uchiha leader said to the tribesmen beside him: [Show him a little color. Make him confess Wuming's hiding place and his eight generations of ancestors.]

【Um……】

Screen turn

Boruto was kicked away by the Uchiha clan member.

He struggled to stand up, gasping for breath.

"Every blow is powerful...! This is... the Warring States Period...!"

Thinking about this, Boruto wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

"That guy...should he have escaped...?"

far away

Wuming walked step by step with difficulty to a big tree.

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard not far behind.

Wuming looked back.

“That person…”

"I just wanted to help me on a whim..."

"It was just by chance... helping me..."

'No more good will... No more bad will...'

"So I just need to run away..."

"There is no kindness in this world..."

……

Ninja World

"Alas...there are not so many coincidences in this world..."

"That's true, actually. In the Warring States Period...what kindness could we expect?"

"I feel like the era of Madara and Hashirama was actually relatively good. It gets more cruel as time goes on."

"Boruto is in a desperate situation."

"I didn't expect Boruto to be able to withstand three Uchiha ninjas from the Warring States Period."

"I bet Wuming will go back for Boruto."

——Boom boom boom

There was an explosion in the forest.

Boruto ran quickly.

The Uchiha were in hot pursuit.

Finally, in an open space, Boruto was surrounded by three Uchiha members.

[Is it time to surrender? ]

Boruto straightened up and wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand: [It’s not over yet...! ]

The Uchiha clan member said: [I think so. Although the time is not long, I can see that you are an excellent ninja. To show my respect, I will fight you seriously! ]

The words fell.

The three Uchiha ninjas jumped into the air together and formed seals with their hands.

【Fire escape! 】

[The art of the Phoenix Array! ]

Boruto gritted his teeth as he looked at the small fireballs flying towards him.

“Damn it… Is this the end… But as long as Wuming can escape…”

Thinking of this, he had given up resisting and slowly closed his eyes.

The sound of fast running footsteps was heard.

Wuming arrived in time and used the Mangekyō pupil technique, Amaterasu.

A tornado-like black flame appeared around Boruto, protecting him.

--boom

The Fengxian Fire used by the three Uchiha clan members was burned to ashes by Amaterasu.

……

Muye Village

Hyuga Clan

Boruto covered his head, "Ah! This idiot."

Somewhere in the ninja world

A smile appeared on Jiraiya's lips.

"The choice of light was not unexpected to me at all."

After all, Boruto risked his life to save her.

The name of this story is "The Light of the Sun".

If Hikari hadn't gone back, Boruto might have died at the hands of the Uchiha clan. In that case, even if Hikari escaped, it wouldn't match the name of the story.

The three Uchiha were shocked.

[Amaterasu?!]

Wuming came out.

Seeing her, Boruto couldn't help but exclaimed: [Wumi?!]

The leading Uchiha clan member said: [As expected, it is here...]

Boruto came to Wuming and said anxiously: [You, you... why...? You could just run away while I'm fighting...! ]

【I have no idea……】

[I myself... don't know...]

[But...but...]

[Whether it was by chance... or just a whim... so far... no one has ever helped me...]

【and……】

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Uchiha clan member: [Wumi. You know what will happen if you resist us... right?]

Wuming stepped back in fear.

This time I calmed down.

She was still scared.

The Uchiha clan member continued: [The punishment for betraying the clan is very severe. Are you sure? ]

【me……】

Wuming looked pitiful, weak and helpless.

Boruto turned to look at the three people: [Ha...! Stop talking nonsense. This Wuming is no longer the Uchiha Wuming you know! No one ordered her to come back, she came back voluntarily! ]

As he spoke, he pointed at the three people: [And this is not to surrender to you, but to forge my own path! ]

Looking at Boruto's back, Wuming's eyes widened a little, and she recalled what Boruto said to her in the prison.

...Wuming closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, a kaleidoscope shape appeared in his eyes.

She walked up to Boruto and when she looked at the three Uchiha clan members, she no longer had the fear she had before, but instead had a hint of coldness.

[That’s right… If my destiny is determined and created by myself…]

Having said that, she looked at Boruto: [Then I decide to fight with you. ]

[We just met... Why do your words make me feel so warm...]

[Even now I don’t understand.]

[But... of all the people I have met so far, you are the most special...]

[Your words...are different. I don't know why I feel this way.]

【……so……】

【Now... I can fight for my destiny...】

Boruto: [You...]

Wuming stretched out his hand towards him.

【Stretch out your hand.】

【Um……】
