第287話: コードはイッシキからボルトかカワキを犠牲にして神格化するための最終命令を受ける。

287

Isshiki's soul instructs Code to sacrifice either Kawaki or Boruto to the Ten Tails and consume the Chakra Fruit it bears, so that he could become a new Ootsutsuki and then continue to devour planets until he reaches godhood. Isshiki entrusts his will of Ootsutsuki to Code before his soul disappears for good. Outside of the Hidden Leaf, Shikamaru and Sai discover strange markings, which Kawaki confirms to be Code's Claw Marks, which he can use as a means of transportation. Elsewhere, Code tracks down one of Boro's Cult's facilities in a snowy country. Kawaki criticizes Boruto for blindly trusting Amado's medicine, but Boruto says he only takes it, because he has to do something to prevent Momoshiki gaining control again. Kawaki reveals the recent findings of Code's Claw Marks as well and warns Boruto not to underestimate him, since he is special, even among the other Inners, for surviving the Karma ritual and gaining a White Karma, which is the source of his powers. Kawaki explains that due to this Karma, his physical prowess alone far exceeded Jigen's and unlike the rest of the Inners, who were enhanced by Amado, Code actually had limiters placed on him, out of loyalty to Isshiki, in order to not be stronger than his current vessel. Kawaki expands that Amado had actually created several cyborgs surpassing Jigen, but they were ordered to be destroyed. Shikamaru and Sai report to Naruto, and the former notes the similarity of the four Claw Marks they found by the village to the Flying Raijin Jutsu. Naruto instructs them to inform Sasuke, who is most likely among Code's targets as one of the people responsible for Isshiki's death. Amado advises Shikamaru that Code would already moving toward the goal of having his limiters removed, meaning that Amado is his most important target. Kawaki suggests a plan to Boruto, to implant his own Karma onto Code, which would turn the latter into his Vessel and rid him of Momoshiki. Boruto refuses to implant someone else with Karma, and suggests they keep training to become stronger. Code slaughters his way to the inside of the facility, where he finds an Outer named Bug. He informs him of Jigen and Boro's demise and asks to see Eida, one of the cyborgs stronger than Jigen, who was supposed to be terminated, revealing that he knows Boro stockpiled several of Amado's powerful creations there. Code and Bug awaken Eida, who seems to have some clairvoyant abilities. When Eida ignores Code, he tries to attack her. (Source: Wikipedia) Code's Assault Arc: (1/7)
