"The Domain of Gods" (
Summary[]
Amado summarizes Eida's & Daemon's abilities. Boruto becomes skeptical about Daemon having the ability to reflect murderous intent. Kawaki tests it out & confirms it by getting a bonk in the head from just thinking it, with Daemon teasing him a bit from it. Naruto questions Amado on how he developed such abilities. Amado tells him that he didn't develop them as he is just a mere human since those abilities are made from gods and instead, transplanted them. He then elaborates that the abilities came from Shibai Ōtsutsuki, who ascended to godhood by repeatedly going to planets, consuming Chakra Fruits, and resurrecting using Karma, to the point only his corpse remains. Transplanting DNA from Shibai's remains result into granting the recipient one or more of his abilities. Shikamaru checks with Katasuke, who while isn't confident that transplanting such abilities can be achieved through human technology, the advanced technology he has witnessed like at the airship and in Kawaki's body makes him consider the possibility. Amado is offended by the distrust with Shikamaru. He tells Amado to don't pay mind to his cautiousness and continue. Giving examples of Shibai's abilities, Amado explains that they aren't ninjutsu or senjutsu, rather they are shinjutsu, as they're equivalent to "Divine Miracles", which he states ninjutsu being a mere imitation of it, offending Sarada. He clarifies which abilities from Isshiki and Code are shinjutsu, including Karma. Shikamaru asks how Shibai is dead when Karma allows one to resurrect & live forever, and if someone killed him. Amado admits he doesn't know, and theorizes that Shibai must've evolved so much to the point he took a form that didn't need a physical body, and discarded it while ascending to a higher dimension. Shikamaru agrees with his theory, along with Naruto - puzzled. Amado then explains that the powers of the Ōtsutsuki are the "hope" to make something impossible become possible, such as resurrecting his daughter.
Delta approaches Sarada and Mitsuki, asking permission to go see Eida. Sarada refuses, seeing she is partially still affected by Eida's enchantment ability. Sumire arrives using Delta's shutdown code, apologizing to the them. They note that Eida's enchantment ability is very strong, able to overcome Delta's programming, causing her to disobey Katasuke and Sumire. Mitsuki notes he has to be careful, and Sarada realizes how fearsome Eida is than she thought.
Amado explains his daughter Akebi, who died 12 years prior to Boruto's birth, suffered from a terrible illness that had an unknown origin and had no treatment or cure. He wasn't concerned about the illness as he discovered a solution by cloning a body for his daughter, which he more experience with instead of developing new medications, and having successfully preserved her brain, from which he was able to extract & digitize her memories. Nine months after Akebi's death at age 24, he completed Delta, who despite having her looking and sound the same, and had all of her memories, had a completely different personality. He tried many times, but failed every time, making him Akebi back, which finally broke him. At that time Isshiki, in the form of Jigen, approached Amado promising to reunite him with his daughter in exchange from helping him complete his goal. He didn't know that Isshiki's goal would doom the planet, making Akebi's resurrection pointless. He still hasn't given up on reviving her daughter, as he discovered karmic resurrection, determined what it does is precisely what he wanted for Akebi. Sumire then understands Amado's goal. Amado added Akebi's data to Kawaki's restored Karma, wishing him to implant a Karma onto a cloned body he'll prepare, hoping to bring back his daughter. Boruto admits he though Amado's goal was far worse. Still suspicious, Shikamaru asks Eida to confirm Amado's information. Amado gets very upset &offended, which Shikamaru reminds him to ignore his cautiousness as it's his job. While Eida is gathering evidence of Amado's claims, Momoshiki contacts Boruto, their thoughts now able to crossover due to Boruto being restored with Momoshiki's data to bring him back from the dead. He asks Boruto not to let Kawaki catch on, and voices his suspicions on Amado. He confirms Boruto the claims about Shibai and shinjutsu, and that he has a full understanding of all extant shinjutsu, confirming that the Senrigan is a shinjutsu, but that Eida's enchanting ability isn't. Boruto asks why Amado would need to lie about her ability, with Momoshiki wanting the answer to that as well. Eida confirms that Akebi existed and died according to Amado's claim. Boruto asks Momoshiki about their situation, with him claiming that their thoughts are available to each other against their wills. Boruto suddenly activates the Byakugan and has a vision of his friends and Konoha ninjas chasing down Kawaki, with Eida noticing Boruto's expression.
