## Synopsis [ ]

Boruto attacks Deepa with a barrage of clones, which Deepa easily pelts with carbon . Sarada attacks from above, blocking the cubes on her way, but Deepa deflects her kunai with a ring of carbon cubes . Boruto and Sarada note the versatility of Deepa's jutsu. Deepa proclaims it's time to hunt. Sarada's explosive tag kunai and Boruto's electrified shuriken have no effect on Deepa. Boruto asks Sarada to buy him time to prepare his new Rasengan to push through Deepa's defence. Deepa reiterates his wish to know the flavour of the chakra fruit. Konohamaru fights Victor , who rationalises his goal as not wasting the sacrifice his employees made. He compares regular humans as nourishment and steppingstones for superior humans to the relationship between smaller and great nations. Konohamaru attacks him with Fire Release , which Victor blocks with Water Release . Sarada's Fire Release has no effect on Deepa, who sends a ring at Boruto, preventing him from building up his Rasengan. Sarada comments on the limited capabilities of a two-person team. Deepa boasts of his jutsu. Victor attacks with Earth Release and Fire Release , impressing Konohamaru, who only ever saw his grandfather using all changes in chakra nature.

Victor prepares to strike him with Lightning Release , but is blocked by Orochimaru 's snakes . Orochimaru makes it clear he's there not to save Konohamaru, but to reclaim his stolen Hashirama cells. Orochimaru blocks Victor's Fire Release with a summoned snake, which strikes and decapitates Victor. Victor regenerates his head, and counterattacks with Lightning Release , severing Orochimaru's arm, who also regenerates it. Orochimaru attacks with Wind Release , severing both of Victor's arms, who also regenerate, and breaking his peg leg. Orochimaru considers Victor's body interesting, but his regeneration to be imperfect, and surmises Victor wants to eat the chakra fruit to regain his lost body parts. Victor steadies himself with his extra arms . Deepa continues to overpower Sarada and Boruto. He almost lands a solid hit on Boruto, who is rescued at the last moment by Mitsuki , who joins the fight. Deepa shrugs off Mitsuki's Wind Release , blocks Boruto's advance, and breaks Sarada's kunai when she gets close. Deepa attacks them with carbon whips . Sarada is incredulous Deepa has yet to use his full strength. Deepa aims a big cube at Boruto, which Sarada blocks. Stressing her goal to become Hokage , Sarada's Sharingan gain a second tomoe. Deepa is angry at Team 7 's lack of hopelessness. Mia arrives at the company and witnesses Victor's true form. The God Tree bud begins to open, so Victor approaches it, ignoring Mia's and Konohamaru's censure. The flower sends tendrils out to pull Victor in, and Orochimaru explains this is just a copy, and that mere humans can't handle the fruit. Deepa blocks Mitsuki's Lightning Release , dodges Sarada's taijutsu , and blocks Mitsuki's Wind Release before striking through him, who is actually a snake clone . Deepa grabs the real Mitsuki, and kicks him aside before dodging and blocking Sarada's taijutsu. Sarada's punch manages to chink Deepa's armour before he punches her aside. Boruto manages to attack with his Compression Rasengan. More cracks appear in Deepa's armour, who decides to fully cover himself in a black and white armour , and kicks Boruto aside. Orochimaru and his clones burn Victor's imitation God Tree with a barrier , and tells Konohamaru to leave. Boruto refuses to back down, Deepa grows angry when he sees bits of the burned God Tree falling down, and decides to kill the genin . Boruto prepares to attack again, and Sarada warns him about his arm. Deepa turns his gauntlet into diamond. Deepa and Boruto clash, Deepa's armour growing more cracks. Mitsuki supports Boruto, wrapping his arm around Boruto's and adding his senjutsu chakra to the attack. Sarada also adds her chakra to it. Together, they overpower Deepa, breaking his armour and body. Deepa considers how close he got to taste the world through the God Tree's fruit. He gets buried by falling debris. They leave the building with Konohamaru. Mitsuki dismisses Boruto's concern for his injuries, saying he'll heal fast. Mia is willing to testify on their behalf about the incident. Orochimaru leaves, telling Konohamaru he already notified Naruto . Konohamaru is glad Mitsuki was able to recover. Team 7 is glad to be together again.
