Chapter 100 Captured
When Boruto asked her why, Sakura told him about Sasuke's departure.
Sakura looked very downcast, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes. Finally, unable to hold back, the tears slowly flowed from her eyes.
She choked back tears as she said to Boruto, "Boruto, I... I couldn't stop Sasuke from leaving..." In the end, she still couldn't change Sasuke's mind.
Boruto frowned upon hearing Sakura's words, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him. Sasuke had truly abandoned Konoha and embarked on his path of revenge alone.
Boruto said, "Sasuke shouldn't have gone too far yet. I'll go ask him and find out. You should go back first."
Sakura wiped away her tears and nodded, saying, "Okay... then I'll leave it to you..."
After saying that, Boruto didn't hesitate and immediately ran towards the outside of Konoha Village.
Boruto saw a dark figure flash by in the dense forest outside the village, and he quietly followed behind the figure, using the trees and the darkness as cover to try not to make any noise.
As the distance closed, Boruto began to make out the figure's outline; it was a person wearing a black cloak, moving quickly through the forest.
As time went by, the dark figure gradually slowed down and eventually stopped in one place, as if waiting for someone.
Boruto, meanwhile, chose a large tree as cover, hiding in the shadows of the trunk and secretly observing the shadowy figure's every move.
A short while later, a soft footstep attracted Boruto's attention, and he immediately turned his gaze toward the source of the sound.
Immediately afterwards, Boruto saw a figure slowly emerge from the other end of the woods. The person was also wearing a black cloak similar to the one in front of him, but his face was covered by the hood, so he could not see his features clearly.
"How is Sasuke doing now?" a voice came from under the hood, inquiring about the progress of the matter.
"Everything is going according to plan, and the other objective is also progressing steadily; all that's left is to close the net," another voice replied confidently.
......
Boruto overheard their conversation and secretly confirmed his earlier guess: these two were indeed related to Sasuke. But what was their other target?
However, they were speaking in very low voices, almost in whispers, which forced Boruto to concentrate even more.
At the same time, a small snake silently crawled up Boruto's trouser leg. While Boruto was listening intently to the conversation between the two shadowy figures, the snake suddenly opened its mouth and bit down.
After Boruto felt a stinging pain in his leg, he tried to see what was happening, but suddenly he found himself unable to move. His body seemed to be bound by an invisible force, and he also found that his throat was blocked, and he could not make any sound.
A sense of panic welled up in Boruto's heart. He realized that he might have been hit by some kind of ninjutsu and tried to break free from the restraints, but every part of his body seemed to be firmly fixed in place.
"Target captured." At that moment, an extremely hoarse voice suddenly rang out behind Boruto, like a thunderclap, making his heart leap.
A chill ran from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head, making Boruto's hair stand on end, as if every cell in his body was screaming, "I'm doomed!"
Boruto now had only one thought in his mind: Oh no! The target was me!
Boruto realized at that moment that the hoarse voice behind him belonged to Orochimaru, and that he had fallen into Orochimaru's trap.
“Kids are so curious, they fell for such a simple trap.” Orochimaru stood behind Boruto, his gaze cold as he stared at Boruto, who was unable to move after being bitten by his own venomous snake, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
Orochimaru stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Those poisoned by my cursed seal cannot move or speak for a short period of time. However, your situation is a bit special, so..."
Then, Orochimaru suddenly stretched out his neck, revealing sharp fangs, and bit at Boruto's nape.
Boruto immediately felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. Then, black curse marks began to appear on Boruto's skin. These marks started from the place where Orochimaru had bitten him and quickly covered his entire body.
As the cursed seal spread, Boruto felt the stiffness in his body become increasingly intense, as if an invisible force was pressing down on him, making him even more unable to move.
Orochimaru, having already inflicted the Cursed Seal poison on Boruto, added another Cursed Binding Seal before finally retracting his neck with satisfaction: "...That makes me feel much more at ease."
"Honestly, at least be a little suspicious, okay? What kind of spy would appear in public dressed in black and start plotting without any precautions?" The man in black walked over at this moment, his voice carrying a hint of contempt.
The man in black paused, then said smugly, "Well, this method is surprisingly effective at dealing with these naive and curious brats."
The man in black slowly removed his hood, revealing a face familiar to Boruto. Then, he took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on gently, and the reflection in the glasses concealed his sharp eyes.
The man in black standing before them was none other than Kabuto Yakushi, who had disappeared after the Chunin Exams.
Kabuto said to Orochimaru, "Lord Orochimaru, we have now captured our target. All that's left is for the Sound Four to bring Sasuke back."
"Just recently, they sent word that they had made contact with Sasuke."
Orochimaru nodded, agreeing with Kabuto Yakushi's words: "Well, now that we've captured our target, let's leave. Not only is Jiraiya in Konoha, but Tsunade is also there. Neither of them are easy to deal with."
Jiraiya alone was enough to give Orochimaru a headache, let alone adding Tsunade. A while ago, their involvement unexpectedly cured Tsunade's hemophobia, making her even more difficult to deal with.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto Yakushi quickly responded to Orochimaru's instructions, and then carried Boruto, who was still in a stiff state.
Although Boruto was conscious while being carried on Kabuto's shoulder, he was unable to move and could only let Kabuto take him away.
Kabuto and Orochimaru's figures quickly disappeared into the darkness, blending into the night.
After Orochimaru and Kabuto left the scene, a figure emerged from behind a tree, his eyes gleaming with a scarlet light.
