Naruto was, of course, important, but Sasuke didn't overlook Boruto, who was nearby. He hadn't forgotten his earlier doubts, so he asked again:
"Lord, I'd like to ask once more. What exactly happened to Boruto when he was resurrected from death?"
Regarding this, Lux didn't hide anything. He told Sasuke all about the kind-hearted Otsutsuki Momoshiki, who, by sacrificing himself, healed Boruto's wounds and helped him "rise from the dead."
After all, Boruto himself knew about this and would likely tell Sasuke later.
"I see! So, that means Momoshiki's soul has vanished, and he can no longer use Kama to take over Boruto?"
"Yes."
Sasuke was overjoyed, not expecting that Boruto's previously near-unsolvable problem could be resolved so easily.
Was Momoshiki truly a good person? Willing to sacrifice his own chance of resurrection to save Boruto?
Thus, Himawari's deadly attack on her brother, Boruto, had unexpectedly saved him!
Was this the bond between siblings?
"However, Boruto still needs to be cautious. Although Momoshiki has lost part of his Kama and his soul, and can no longer use Boruto to resurrect, the remnants of his soul and power can, at certain moments, still influence or even dominate him."
"For example, when he loses his sanity or is extremely weak, it gives Momoshiki an opportunity."
"Such temporary control won't replace Boruto, but it could allow Momoshiki to manipulate him into committing various crimes."
"You've likely already experienced the consequences."
Sasuke's pupils narrowed slightly, and Boruto's eyes widened.
He recalled when Momoshiki controlled him to kill his mother. Even though Kama was incomplete and Momoshiki couldn't resurrect, if his body were controlled again to harm other loved ones, it would still be a devastating blow to Boruto, something he had to guard against!
And that jerk Momoshiki hadn't mentioned this when he confessed earlier. He only said he'd lost his chance to resurrect, not expecting he was still hiding this information.
Indeed, all Otsutsuki were truly vile!
At the same time, Kawaki also grew slightly more wary after hearing this news. Since Boruto had killed his own mother, he might also kill his father, Naruto!
Even if it wasn't Boruto's intention, it was enough to make Kawaki extremely cautious of him.
(Siblings are siblings, but I can't let you kill my adoptive father!)
This was also one of Kawaki's distorted beliefs. Fortunately, Isshiki's threat still loomed as the greatest enemy, so he had no time to attack Boruto.
"I understand!"
"Thank you for the warning, Lord. I'll do my best to keep Boruto in check," Sasuke said with sincere gratitude.
He knew full well that even the smallest missing piece of information could lead to major mistakes. The information he got from Lux was invaluable.
"Alright, now you can act on your own."
"Oh, one more thing I'd like to remind you of."
"Although the Kama in Kawaki's body has vanished, and Isshiki can no longer track him through it…"
"However, that android Eida has a dojutsu called Senrigan, which can observe any situation anywhere in the world at any time."
"Senrigan?" Sasuke frowned. "Does that mean the enemy can listen to us anytime? And know our location?"
"Correct."
"There's a dojutsu like that too! This is far more troublesome than the Byakugan…"
Sasuke sighed inwardly, finding it bothersome.
Being able to monitor any location in the world at any time was terrifying!
This meant that all their movements and conversations would always be exposed to the enemy's surveillance. Every action would have no privacy whatsoever!
Even if he and Boruto separated, the enemy could immediately know and attack Boruto with spatial transfer abilities.
Without him, Boruto and Kawaki currently had no chance of defeating Code or Isshiki…
The three of them might even lose sleep and rest. The moment they fell asleep and their guard dropped, they could be tracked and ambushed by the enemy!
The combination of Senrigan + Spatial Portal was even more terrifying than the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique from the past!
After all, Flying Thunder God couldn't monitor an opponent's status in real-time, only track a target's location in real-time…
Boruto and Kawaki, still frozen nearby, couldn't help but feel shocked. Anyone being watched 24 hours a day would feel creeped out!
"Is the enemy monitoring us right now?"
"Not now. That person was just forced to activate the divine Omnipotence technique, expending immense energy, so she's currently unconscious."
"Then, does this Senrigan dojutsu have no limitations or weaknesses?"
"Senrigan itself has no weaknesses, but Eida is its weakness. She lacks the chakra and strength to monitor you constantly. She can only use it three or four times a day, and each time she can only monitor one location."
"I see!"
Sasuke nodded in understanding, thinking of several strategies to counter it: using clones to evade surveillance, using genjutsu for covert communication, or temporarily hiding off-world to rest… and so on.
As long as there was a weakness, there was a gap, and he could always find a way to deal with it!
"One more thing: Senrigan can also easily see all events that have occurred in the past."
"See the past? Then doesn't that make the enemy practically omniscient? Knowing all secrets and information?"
"Not entirely omniscient. She can only see events after she was created, and there are certain special existences she can't perceive."
"Good."
Sasuke let out a sigh of relief.
Omnipotence alone had pushed them to the brink of despair. If there was another threat equivalent to omniscience, what else could they do? Just give up.
"Anyway, prepare yourselves mentally. As long as Eida remains in the enemy's hands, all your actions and locations will be fully known to them."
"Alright, I'll find a way to stay vigilant," Sasuke nodded. Boruto and Kawaki hadn't yet grasped the horror of Senrigan.
But Sasuke was very clear. This meant they'd have to face the enemy openly from now on.
In a sense, from now on, the three of them would have to act as Wall Guardians. The true purpose of their actions could only be hidden in their hearts, not revealed too obviously, to avoid easy detection by the enemy.
However, Sasuke could communicate anytime through genjutsu; conversations in the spiritual realm should be undetectable by Eida's Senrigan. Of course, the specifics of how to evade it still needed careful planning.
"That's enough."
"Before I leave, I'll give you another gift."
After giving his instructions, Lux prepared to leave.
Before going, he also released the binding jutsu on Boruto and Kawaki and used genjutsu to leave a small, life-saving gift for Sasuke and his companions.
This could be considered a small investment in them.
