Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

She was sitting quietly under a big tree, watching two blonde figures in the distance practicing high-speed movement and spatial jumps.

Dimon sat beside her like a little bodyguard, hugging his knees.

He would hand her a water bottle every now and then, his eyes filled with pure dependence, a stark contrast to the cruel and arrogant image Boruto remembered.

Boruto walked over quickly, his gaze lingering for a moment on Damon, who had become "harmless."

Only after confirming that the other party truly harbored no hostility did he look at the light.

"I heard... you defeated Dimon?"

When Hikaru saw Boruto return, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

He nodded, then shook his head: "Rather than defeating him, it's more like... we managed to control him by sheer luck."

"what happened?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Boruto sat down next to Hikaru and pressed, "That guy's reflexes are practically cheating, and his physical skills are terrifyingly strong too."

"I know that guy. Even now, I'm not 100% confident I can beat him."

Guang sighed softly, his eyes filled with a hint of solemnity as he recalled the battle.

She glanced at the well-behaved Dimon beside her, and Dimon immediately stood up and ran off to play by himself.

"to be honest,"

Guang's voice was calm, with an objective analysis: "If it were a head-on confrontation, I would be no match for Dimon."

“His basic abilities—strength, speed, and reflexes—are far superior to mine.”

"If he goes all out from the start and uses his killer moves, I might be defeated instantly."

Boruto frowned; this wasn't what he expected: "Then how did you..."

"The problem is,"

Guang interrupted him, his gaze becoming profound: "It is precisely because he possesses that almost unbeatable reflex ability, and an absolute arrogance in his physical skills."

"This led him to... look down on me as his opponent from the bottom of his heart."

She began to describe the brief but dangerous battle in detail: "In his eyes, all my methods were ineffective."

"Ninjutsu is reflected as soon as a thought arises."

"Physical techniques ensure that any intended attack will be reflected back at the user."

"Illusion magic? He has a special mental defense protocol within him."

"Therefore, his fighting style is extremely... brutal and confident, even arrogant."

Guang stretched out her slender fingers and gestured in the air, simulating Dimon's attack at the time: "When he attacked, he was full of overwhelming power, but that also exposed many flaws."

"He habitually relies on reflexes to deal with any possible counterattack, so when he throws a full-force punch, his defense for his own flanks and joints is almost zero."

"In addition, he was convinced that any 'thought' of mine would hurt me."

"So when he was chasing me, he didn't consider that I might set a trap or use tactical deception at all, and just attacked straight ahead without thinking."

"His entire combat logic is based on the premise that 'I absolutely cannot hurt him'."

Guang concluded, his tone tinged with lingering fear: "It was precisely because of this deep-seated arrogance that I found that faint glimmer of hope."

She pointed to her eyes: "The mark of my 'eight thousand spears' is not a forceful attack, but a silent 'infiltration'."

"It doesn't carry any attributes that can be identified as an 'attack'; it's more like writing information or acquiring permissions."

"I was just before he completely overwhelmed me and almost destroyed me by his pure power."

“By taking advantage of his unguarded arrogance, the seed of ‘domination’ was successfully planted in his core.”

Looking at Boruto, his eyes were clear and honest: "So, I didn't really 'defeat' him."

"I seized the only opportunity to take control of him in the moment when he thought he was invincible and became careless."

"If Dimon had put aside his contempt from the beginning and aimed to kill me without giving me any chance to maneuver or observe, then I would have been the one to lose 100% of the time."

"My victory was entirely due to luck, built on his arrogance."

After listening to Hikaru's account, Boruto fell into a long silence.

He recalled his time with Dimon, who had indeed displayed a playful and contemptuous attitude from beginning to end, as if he had everything under control.

The analysis of light was incisive; Dimon's strength, to some extent, also became his greatest weakness.

They relied too much on their abilities and neglected the most basic caution and respect for their opponents in battle.

"I understand……"

Boruto let out a long sigh of relief, his gaze towards Hikaru filled with a mixture of admiration and complexity.

What he admired was that Guang could remain calm in such a desperate situation and accurately find that one and only, fleeting opportunity to win.

"However, in any case,"

Boruto shook his head, temporarily suppressing his complicated thoughts, and smiled at Hikaru: "It's good that you're alright, and you even dealt with Dimon, this huge potential threat."

"Well done, good job!"

Guang lowered her head slightly, a faint blush rising on her face, and replied softly, "I just... don't want to see anyone else get hurt, especially... you guys."

At the other end of the training field, the adult Naruto failed another space jump and almost crashed into a tree.

Leaning against a tree trunk, panting heavily, he looked at Boruto and Hikaru talking over here, and then at Dimon playing in the mud in the distance.

Unable to contain himself, he remarked to the young Naruto beside him, "It seems that something extraordinary happened in the village while we were away."

Young Naruto put his hands behind his head and grinned: "Isn't that great? It shows that no matter what, someone will always step forward!"

"But speaking of which, uncle, you still need to work on your Flying Thunder God technique! Shiro won't go easy on you just because you have a half-baked space jump skill!"

Upon hearing this, the adult Naruto clenched his fists tightly, his eyes rekindling with fighting spirit: "Ah! I know! Keep practicing!"

Chapter 425 Fang Zhu: I'm Just a Scientist

Time slipped away quietly amidst the tension and preparations, and a few more days passed.

The defensive network built by Konoha Village has initially withstood the test.

Within the ranks of the Divine Tree People.

During this period, the various and strangely capable subordinate units known as "Claws" launched several probing attacks.

They are like venomous snakes emerging from the shadows, trying to find the weak points of the barrier or create chaos.

However, the upgraded "octagonal prism protective barrier" has demonstrated its strong reliability.

The attacks from the claws, whether energy impacts or physical tearing, landed on the barrier wall that shimmered with complex runic light.

They were like mud oxen entering the sea, at most stirring up ripples of energy before being quickly dispersed and absorbed, leaving not even a crack.

They couldn't even get a foothold at the gates of Konoha before being firmly blocked outside.

The stationed ninja units cooperated seamlessly, safely launching long-range ninjutsu or manipulating scientific ninja tools within the barrier, efficiently eliminating these attackers one by one.

After each battle, Kawaki would appear on the battlefield immediately.

He silently moved through the mess, carefully scanning every inch of land and every piece of debris.

Once any residual, black, stain-like "claw marks" are found...

Under Kawaki's precise control, the claw marks would shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Originally the size of a palm, it rapidly collapsed into particles almost invisible to the naked eye, eventually losing all activity and turning into nothingness.

He did it meticulously, as if he wanted to personally nip any potential threats to Naruto and the village in the bud.

This obsessive protection carries a sense of atonement, and it evokes mixed feelings in those who witness his actions.

Konoha did not hold back when it came to protecting the village.

After the barrier technology stabilized, the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, defied all opposition.

The core principles and construction blueprints of the "Octagonal Prism Guardian Barrier" are communicated through encrypted communication channels.

It was shared with the four major ninja villages: Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure.

While the four great nations were shocked by Konoha's leap in technological prowess, they also mobilized manpower with the highest efficiency.

Build your own defensive barrier according to the blueprints.

For a time, busy construction teams and flashing chakra lights could be seen all over the ninja world.

Although the versions of each village may differ slightly due to differences in resources and technological reserves, the core defense concept remains the same.

These barriers, resembling giant transparent bowl lids, shroud the skies above the various ninja villages.

It became the first solid barrier protecting ordinary people and resisting the invasion of the Divine Tree People.

This greatly stabilized the people's hearts, who were filled with anxiety due to the arrival of the Ten Lords.

In the development of offensive weapons, the joint research between the Konoha Scientific Ninja Tools Team and Amado's team has made groundbreaking progress.

In a heavily guarded research room deep underground in the Hokage's office building.

Fang Zhu was excitedly explaining to Naruto, Shikamaru, Sasuke, and other key members of the group, while facing a complex holographic projection.

"...We'll name it 'Chakra Tailed Beast Cannon'!"

Fang Zhu's round face flushed with excitement.

He pointed to the giant weapon structure diagram in the center of the projection, which had a futuristic design and a deep cannon muzzle: "The principle behind it is actually quite simple!"

"It simulates the generation and explosion process of the Tailed Beast Ball, but uses scientific ninja tools for ultra-high-speed compression and targeted activation!"

He zoomed in on the details of the energy conduction module: "We designed a special chakra conversion and compression array that can efficiently absorb massive amounts of chakra at the level of tailed beasts."

"Of course, at present we mainly rely on Kurama's chakra within you, Seventh Hokage, as a model and energy source for testing."

"Extreme compression is performed in the special force field inside the gun barrel to form a highly unstable energy sphere containing destructive energy."

Fang Zhu's voice was filled with pride: "Through this aiming system optimized by Mr. Amado, based on spatiotemporal coordinate locking technology."

"We can complete ballistic calculations and target locking in a very short time."

"In theory, it can precisely strike a mosquito ten kilometers away! The error will not exceed one millimeter!"
