He doesn't know where that one came from, but adds that Ōtsutsuki always employ Ten-Tails, as they're God Tree seedlings. Amado says that if Sasuke went there, he saw they have a Ten-Tails, much to Naruto and Shikamaru's surprise. Amado asks if Sasuke has reached a certain location, and reveals he arranged for the information to be present in the airship's data for them to find, because he wanted them to learn about the curve-horned Ōtsutsuki ahead of time. The tree bears a Chakra Fruit, rich in energy and information, which the Ōtsutsuki consume, being the means through which their species evolves. They suck the life out of a planet by draining its chakra with a God Tree. Simplifying it, he adds that the Ōtsutsuki are alien parasites. Amado explains that Jigen became an Ōtsutsuki.

Koji feigns ignorance, and Jigen says this is the perfect opportunity for them to stop pretending. He adds that the crash was no accident, it was attacked and made to look like an accident. Jigen makes light of it, and considers the airship crash that allowed Kawaki's escape to be the root of their problems. However, Koji says he was surprised that Jigen concealed the fact he could have retrieved Kawaki himself at any time, and asks why. Koji explains that he can't intervene easily while Kawaki is under the Hokage's close watch. Jigen points out that Koji doesn't have Kawaki, something that has never happened. Naruto wants Amado to share some info so they can judge whether to accept his defection or not, and promises not to betray him after they talk. Kawaki also confirms to Katasuke that Amado is the one who modified his body and the bodies of the other Kara Inners, exciting him about learning from him. Kawaki explains that Amado is Kara's head researcher, confirming his access and that Jigen has never granted him leave. Boruto, Kawaki, Katasuke, and Sumire watch them. Amado asks for a smoke to clear his head, and when Shikamaru refuses, he gets a rise out of him by mentioning Shikadai and pins him to the wall. Jigen dismisses him, and asks the recently arrived Koji to report on his mission. Code asks about Boro, and Jigen says he hasn't made his scheduled contact. Code keeps watch on the Ten-Tails, and reports to Jigen, who warns him that Konoha knows of that location. Naruto agrees to interrogate Amado, much to Shikamaru's surprise, saying it's the only way to help Shikadai, and that they can decide on whether they trust him later. Sumire explains what Amado means to Boruto, and Kawaki is sceptical of Amado. ' Defection' ( 亡命, Bōmei) is chapter 45 of the Boruto manga.Īmado assures Konohagakure that if they accept his defection, the intel he has to offer will be extremely beneficial to them, and that he'll release Shikadai.
