CHAPTER 267: CHAPTER 267 : BREAKING THE SHELL

Amado’s transformed humans possess extraordinary power..

Each of these cyborgs has power comparable to Jigen himself.

Of course, much of this is due to the fact that Jigen, being an imperfect vessel for Isshiki’s Karma, cannot exert its true might.

Still, Amado takes pride in this accomplishment.

He is the true mastermind behind the Kara organization.

Much like the Akatsuki once presented Pain as its leader when the real shadow was Uchiha Obito, Kara has Jigen as its face—but in truth, Amado is the soul pulling the strings.

It was he who developed much of Kara’s black technology.

And he was on the brink of creating a vessel compatible with Isshiki’s Karma—

Until Ōtsutsuki Kaguya annihilated him.

"You’re the rat working behind the curtains of Kara, Amado," Kurama said coldly.

"Huh?" Amado blinked, caught off guard.

He’d always been a ghost in the world of shinobi—

No history, no legend, no legacy.

Yet Kurama knew him.

Tsk tsk.

Clearly, Konoha’s intel network was more efficient than he’d thought.

What a joke.

Kurama had read the Boruto manga.

Sure, it wasn’t a masterpiece—

But it was good enough to kill some time.

In fact, Kurama watched the anime at 3x speed when he was bored.

"Lord Kurama knows about me? I’m honored," Amado said with a mocking bow.

But he wasn’t just flapping his gums.

He had a plan.

"How about letting me join Konohagakure?" Amado offered smoothly.

"Ha?" Kurama raised a brow.

This bastard wanted to defect now?

Back in Boruto, Amado defected conveniently when the tide turned.

Under Konoha’s protection, the man lived like a retired civilian.

Kurama wasn’t impressed.

"What benefit would that bring me?" Kurama asked bluntly.

Amado’s eyes glimmered.

"I know a great deal about the Ōtsutsuki clan. My cybernetic research can elevate the Land of Fire to an unprecedented military power—make Konohagakure the strongest village in the world."

Kurama burst into laughter.

Genuine, unfiltered laughter.

Amado’s brow twitched.

What was so funny?

"You’re hilarious," Kurama said, eyes still gleaming with amusement. "Amado, do you really think the Land of Fire isn’t already the strongest nation? That Konoha isn’t already unmatched?"

Amado: "..."

He had no comeback.

Because it was true.

"But... I can make it stronger," Amado added weakly.

Kurama shrugged.

"You claim to understand the Ōtsutsuki. Do you understand them better than Kaguya herself?"

Amado: "..."

Checkmate.

Kaguya, standing quietly beside them, was the real deal.

No research could match firsthand experience.

Amado’s knowledge, while impressive, was just supplemental.

"Sorry, Amado. Your skills? Not that valuable to me," Kurama said with a smirk. "We have better minds in Konoha already."

Orochimaru, Konohamaru, Moegi—even the new generation had surpassed Amado’s tech.

And Kurama had given them a nudge along the way.

With no real leverage left, Amado changed his tone.

"Then there’s nothing to discuss?"

Kurama’s response was brutal.

"When I step on an ant, do I need its permission?"

Amado’s smile vanished.

His eyes hardened.

"Attack."

In an instant, the cyborgs launched their assault.

Chakra-based weapons and elemental techniques filled the air.

They were embedded with advanced scientific ninja tools—

Laser cannons, energy amplifiers, mechanized chakra control.

"Amado’s reformed freaks... they’re persistent," Kurama muttered.

Kaguya remained unbothered.

White Zetsu, now enhanced through Kurama and Orochimaru’s modifications, stepped forward.

They outnumbered the cyborgs by a wide margin.

"Amado, you haven’t seen what White Zetsu are truly capable of. Allow me to educate you."

Amado’s stomach dropped.

Wait—those Zetsu that had stalled Jigen?

That was just the warm-up?

The real force was about to be unleashed.

The cyborgs fired concentrated disintegration lasers—

Supposedly capable of cellular annihilation.

No regeneration should counter them.

But these weren’t standard White Zetsu anymore.

Modified with Rinnegan-based absorption and Hashirama cell adaptability—

They absorbed the lasers like snacks.

Whoosh—

All beams disappeared into their palms.

Amado’s jaw dropped.

"Impossible! That tech could bypass conventional chakra defenses!"

"Surprised?" Kurama teased.

"Let’s raise the stakes."

The White Zetsu raised their right hands simultaneously.

"Banshō Ten’in!"

The Universal Pull yanked Amado through the air like a rag doll.

Each Zetsu was fighting for the prize.

One pulled.

Another pulled harder.

"You suck him, I suck him," one Zetsu cackled perversely.

Amado, mid-air, hurled uncontrollably.

Splat.

He vomited mid-flight—coating the battlefield with half-digested rations.

The cyborgs panicked.

One launched aerial drones to suppress the Zetsu.

"Kurama-sama, what’s that?" Kaguya asked curiously.

"Drones," Kurama replied casually.

Kaguya tilted her head.

"This planet’s humans are quite amusing."

"Just wait, Kaguya. You haven’t seen anything yet."

But Kurama wasn’t outdone.

He’d added missile systems to some Zetsu using the Asura Path’s enhancements.

Bwooooooosh—

Dozens of homing missiles launched into the sky.

Targeting each drone.

Drones tried to maneuver.

No escape.

Explosions lit up the sky like fireworks.

Rumble——

Within moments, the drones were nothing but smoldering scraps.

Amado’s trump card was getting obliterated.

His cybernetic warriors fell one by one.

His science crumbled before his eyes.

Kurama leaned toward Kaguya.

"See? Science is fun too."

Amado, now grounded, battered, and humiliated, had nothing left.

He spat blood, coughed hard, then slowly reached into his coat.

"What’s that?" Kurama narrowed his eyes.

Click.

A hidden switch.

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Cracks split across the battlefield.

From beneath the earth, hundreds of new cyborgs emerged.

They rose in formation.

Amado’s final army.

"This is everything I’ve built," he said bitterly. "Let’s see whose technology reigns supreme."

Kurama’s smile only widened.

"Bring it on, old man. Let’s see if your toys can handle mine."

White Zetsu surged forward with renewed bloodlust—

And the real war began.
