[00:10] ---
    I'll beat 'em at their own game!
[00:12] ---
    Hold it.
[00:13] ---
    Leave this to me.
    You two go on ahead.
[00:16] ---
    Why?!
[00:17] ---
    It will be easier if
    we fight them together!
[00:20] ---
    You don't get it, do you?
[00:22] ---
    They're puppets.
    I'm a Puppet Specialist.
[00:26] ---
    There's no way I'll lose, right?
[00:29] ---
    Besides, the strategy here is to put
    the mission first and foremost.
[00:36] ---
    Uncle is right.
[00:38] ---
    We'll head straight
    for the Leaf Village.
[00:40] ---
    Why?!
[00:41] ---
    You don't have to
    fight alone, Mr. Kankuro!
[00:45] ---
    BLACK ANT
    
[00:50] ---
    This is not the time for you guys
    to be hanging out here.
[00:53] ---
    Our mission is to keep Master Shukaku
    out of harm's way.
[00:57] ---
    But—!
[00:58] ---
    Go, Boruto!
[01:00] ---
    Besides, I'm sick of refereeing
    fights between two brats.
[01:07] ---
    You better catch up
    to us later, Kankuro!
[01:12] ---
    That goes without saying!
[01:14] ---
    I really can't afford to lose!
[01:30] ---
    They're taking too long to return,
    aren't they?
[01:33] ---
    Yeah.
[01:34] ---
    Though, I can't believe something
    would happen
[01:38] ---
    to both Uncle Gaara and Mr. Sasuke.
[01:41] ---
    You're still naïve, Shikadai.
[01:43] ---
    Part of being a shinobi involves thinking
    about the unthinkable.
[01:47] ---
    That's what your dad would say.
[01:51] ---
    I'm just getting a bad feeling about this.
[02:09] ---
    Is Kankuro really going
    to be okay by himself?
[02:14] ---
    It should be no problem.
[02:15] ---
    The true value of
    Uncle's Puppet Jutsu is revealed
[02:17] ---
    when taking on
    a large number of enemies.
[02:20] ---
    So, his specialty is
    being outnumbered?
[02:23] ---
    We'd just get in the way
    if we were there.
[02:26] ---
    Well, he was confident about
    fighting against puppets.
[02:32] ---
    Let's hurry.
[02:34] ---
    Our duty is to protect Master Shukaku.
[02:39] ---
    Even if we die trying.
[04:21] ---
    The Puppet Battle!
    
    
    
    
    
[04:46] ---
    I'm up against four of them.
[04:48] ---
    Well, I have tricks up my sleeve too!
[04:52] ---
    BLACK ANT CROW
    
[04:55] ---
    A Puppet User can't let puppets make
    a fool out of him, right?
[05:10] ---
    Black Ant!
[05:18] ---
    CROW
    
    Secret Black Move! Iron Maiden!
[05:20] ---
    CROW
    
    
[05:26] ---
    Don't amount to much, do you?
[05:31] ---
    It's fast!
[05:40] ---
    This one's not like the others.
[05:45] ---
    So, it's not gonna be that easy, huh?
[05:49] ---
    But I won't let you get to Shukaku.
[05:53] ---
    I'll stop you,
    no matter what I have to do.
[05:56] ---
    'Cuz, that's my job.
[06:10] ---
    What's wrong?
[06:23] ---
    Enemies?!
[06:28] ---
    I was wrong, huh?
[06:37] ---
    What? It's only a lizard!
[06:40] ---
    I guess even calm and cool elites like you
    make mistakes sometimes.
[06:47] ---
    Hey…
[06:48] ---
    Don't you think you're being
    a little too wound up?
[06:53] ---
    If you keep being so tense,
    you won't make it to the Leaf Village.
[06:57] ---
    Don't think that I'm the same as you…
[06:58] ---
    You're unable to consider
    the consequences.
[07:00] ---
    I've already calculated
    my chakra allocation.
[07:04] ---
    Calculated, huh?
[07:07] ---
    Humans aren't machines.
[07:10] ---
    That's why, in order to ensure
    a smooth mission,
[07:13] ---
    we must be calm and rational
    like machines.
[07:16] ---
    Are you always like this?
[07:29] ---
    Aw man!
    Talk about being annoying!
[07:39] ---
    Up we go!
[07:43] ---
    Tum-tum drum!
[07:46] ---
    Master Shukaku!
[07:47] ---
    Oh, come on.
    I just need a change of pace!
[07:50] ---
    Anyone would get depressed inside all
    that hot and stifling Iron Sand!
[07:55] ---
    You can't just do what you please!
[07:57] ---
    C'mon! We're in a hurry, right?
[08:09] ---
    Is he always like that?
[08:12] ---
    Who knows?
[08:13] ---
    But he reminds me
    of the old Gaara.
[08:16] ---
    Huh?! Mr. Gaara was like that?
[08:20] ---
    The old Gaara wouldn't let anyone
    get close to him.
[08:24] ---
    But someone changed him.
[08:28] ---
    Who was it?
[08:30] ---
    It was Naruto.
[08:31] ---
    My dad?!
[08:33] ---
    Naruto taught Gaara that
[08:35] ---
    he should live for something other
    than hatred.
[08:39] ---
    He changed
    Gaara's isolated way of life.
[08:42] ---
    Changed his way of life…
[08:46] ---
    Naruto has the power
    to pull others to him.
[08:51] ---
    My dad does, huh?
[08:54] ---
    Though, I don't think Shinki will
    turn out like Mr. Gaara.
[08:59] ---
    Well, he's stubborn too.
[09:02] ---
    Especially now.
[09:03] ---
    He's desperately trying to fulfill
    the duty that was entrusted to him.
[09:08] ---
    Entrusted…
    You mean from Mr. Gaara?
[09:12] ---
    No, not just from Gaara.
[09:15] ---
    Hey, why are you wasting time?
[09:19] ---
    Yeah, yeah!
[09:24] ---
    Entrusted duty, huh?
[09:38] ---
    Someone's approaching!
[09:41] ---
    Who is it?
[09:43] ---
    I-Is it the enemy?!
[09:45] ---
    If Lord Kazekage
    got attacked now—?!
[09:50] ---
    No, it's okay.
[09:59] ---
    Gaara!
[10:06] ---
    I understand.
[10:07] ---
    I can't believe that happened
    to Sasuke,
[10:09] ---
    and Gaara was attacked
    as well!
[10:11] ---
    The Otsutsuki that uses
    the fishing rod.
[10:15] ---
    Lord Kazekage managed
    to seal him.
[10:18] ---
    But he said the seal will
    break eventually.
[10:25] ---
    I think we should rendezvous
    with Boruto and the others.
[10:29] ---
    Please leave Lord Kazekage
    with us!
[10:32] ---
    We will definitely take
    him back to the village!
[10:35] ---
    Good, I'm counting on you.
[10:38] ---
    I know you're good from
    the Chunin Exams.
[10:41] ---
    I leave them to you.
[10:43] ---
    Uh, thanks…
[10:47] ---
    Let's hurry.
[10:48] ---
    Even though Kankuro
    is with them,
[10:50] ---
    I'm sure he didn't bring all
    of his puppets.
[10:52] ---
    But it's Uncle Kankuro.
[10:54] ---
    He'll manage somehow, right?
[10:58] ---
    That's exactly why.
[11:01] ---
    He'll always find a way
[11:02] ---
    because he's the elder brother
    of the Kazekage.
[11:04] ---
    No matter what
    he has to resort to.
[11:09] ---
    One last puppet.
[11:11] ---
    Where'd he disappear to?!
[11:22] ---
    He was in the sand?!
[11:26] ---
    Looks like Black Ant won't
    be able to catch you!
[11:31] ---
    You think you're gonna
    torture me to death?
[11:35] ---
    But you know what?
[11:39] ---
    You're not the only puppet…
[11:41] ---
    who can dive into sand!
[11:54] ---
    Secret Black Move! Salamander!
[12:08] ---
    I lured you right where I want you!
[12:11] ---
    Is this all of them?
[12:13] ---
    Huh?
[12:18] ---
    They're still—!
[12:24] ---
    Damn! They're stubborn!
[12:27] ---
    This might not be enough to
    stop them from functioning!
[12:49] ---
    If I'm gonna end this thing,
[12:52] ---
    it's time for my secret weapon!
[13:26] ---
    What was that?!
[13:35] ---
    Isn't that where
    we left Mr. Kankuro?!
[13:39] ---
    That was
    a Paper Bomb explosion.
[13:42] ---
    Is he all right?
[13:47] ---
    Let's hurry.
[13:49] ---
    What did you say?!
[13:51] ---
    My uncle will finish this,
[13:52] ---
    even if he has to take
    his foes down with him.
[13:55] ---
    Down with him?
[13:56] ---
    Hey—!
[13:58] ---
    Did you know about this all along?!
[14:01] ---
    That's right.
[14:03] ---
    If he defeats them, good.
[14:05] ---
    Otherwise, he'll take them
    down with him.
[14:09] ---
    This is what a Sand Shinobi
    would do in this situation.
[14:13] ---
    What did you say?!
[14:15] ---
    Get your mission priorities straight.
[14:18] ---
    And don't make me remind you
    so many times…
[14:20] ---
    of what our duty is.
[14:25] ---
    Protect Master Shukaku at all cost,
    until we get to the Leaf Village.
[14:32] ---
    Am I wrong?
[14:38] ---
    Still…
[14:40] ---
    I can't accept that!
[14:44] ---
    Hey, what do you think
    you're doing?
[14:46] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[14:48] ---
    I'm gonna go rescue
    Mr. Kankuro!
[14:51] ---
    Are you serious?
[14:53] ---
    Damn right I am!
[14:54] ---
    He could be alive and fighting.
[14:57] ---
    I can't just abandon him!
[14:59] ---
    But we don't have the time
    to go back.
[15:03] ---
    Our duty is to—!
[15:04] ---
    Shut up! We're not machines!
[15:08] ---
    We can't be swayed
    by momentary emotions.
[15:09] ---
    We must make calm and
    rational decisions!
[15:12] ---
    You're wrong!
[15:15] ---
    I don't care if I'm wrong!
[15:17] ---
    I don't want to be the kind of trash
    who'd abandon a friend!
[15:21] ---
    What did you say?
[15:23] ---
    Anyway, I'm going back
    to Mr. Kankuro!
[15:33] ---
    You gonna go alone?
[15:37] ---
    Of course.
[15:40] ---
    My uncle fulfilled his duty.
[15:43] ---
    If he can't understand that much…
[15:46] ---
    he's a failed as a shinobi, after all.
[16:08] ---
    Damn it!
[16:17] ---
    Mr. Kankuro!
[16:21] ---
    Mr. Kankuro!
[16:23] ---
    Please say something!
[16:25] ---
    Boruto!
[16:30] ---
    Aunt Temari? Shikadai?!
[16:32] ---
    Why are you here?
[16:34] ---
    That's what I'd like
    to ask you, Boruto!
[16:38] ---
    I heard that you and Shinki
    were on your way
[16:40] ---
    to bring Shukaku
    to the Leaf Village.
[16:44] ---
    Yeah, but—!
[16:45] ---
    We haven't been able
    to find Kankuro either.
[16:50] ---
    He might have blown himself up…
[16:53] ---
    N-No way!
[16:57] ---
    Hey, are you okay?!
[17:00] ---
    Shikadai, go search
    the perimeter a little more.
[17:09] ---
    I got it.
[17:12] ---
    Still, Boruto…
[17:13] ---
    Why did you come back?
[17:16] ---
    I was worried about
    Mr. Kankuro!
[17:19] ---
    I appreciate that, Boruto.
[17:21] ---
    But what about Shinki?
[17:25] ---
    All he's concerned about
    is the mission.
[17:28] ---
    So, you think Shinki doesn't care?
[17:34] ---
    You probably argued with him
    and left, but…
[17:38] ---
    It's just as difficult for him.
[17:45] ---
    He doesn't show it,
    but he loves Kankuro dearly.
[17:50] ---
    He's his uncle,
    and one of his masters.
[17:53] ---
    Most importantly,
[17:54] ---
    he's the trusted confidant and supporter
    of Gaara, whom he reveres.
[17:58] ---
    Kankuro is someone
    he tries to emulate.
[18:02] ---
    That's why he hardened his heart
    and put his duty first.
[18:07] ---
    The duty that was entrusted
    to him by not only Gaara,
[18:09] ---
    but Kankuro too.
[18:12] ---
    Duty?
[18:14] ---
    Abandoning the mission
    and coming back here…
[18:17] ---
    Did you seriously think
[18:19] ---
    that's what Kankuro who
    did everything to buy you time,
[18:21] ---
    wanted you to do?
[18:25] ---
    But that's—!
[18:33] ---
    You're right.
[18:34] ---
    Maybe I didn't totally understand…
[18:37] ---
    Mr. Kankuro's resolve…
    or Shinki’s either!
[18:42] ---
    But…I can't accept it!
[18:45] ---
    To leave a friend like that!
[18:48] ---
    And to just resign yourself to it
    because it couldn't be helped.
[18:51] ---
    Even if it's not what
    Mr. Kankuro wanted me to do…
[18:54] ---
    I can't just accept it like Shinki!
[18:58] ---
    I guess so.
[19:00] ---
    But it's not about Shinki being right
    and you being wrong.
[19:08] ---
    Boruto.
[19:10] ---
    You desperately rushed back
    for Kankuro's sake.
[19:13] ---
    As his sister,
    that makes me very happy.
[19:18] ---
    Aunt Temari!
[19:20] ---
    For the friend or for
    the mission…
[19:23] ---
    It's a difficult decision a shinobi
    must make all the time.
[19:29] ---
    Boruto, what do you think
    your duty is right now?
[19:34] ---
    To protect Shukaku with
    everything I've got!
[19:38] ---
    For Mr. Kankuro's sake, too!
[19:41] ---
    Hey!
[19:43] ---
    Come here a sec!
[19:55] ---
    What are they?
[19:58] ---
    It's almost like
    they were shielding something.
[20:01] ---
    Look here!
[20:06] ---
    No way!
[20:14] ---
    Quicksand flows underground
    around here.
[20:18] ---
    If the enemy puppets have
    the ability to dive underground
[20:21] ---
    like Kankuro's Salamander, then—!
[20:25] ---
    If so, it's possible
    they've traveled quite far.
[20:29] ---
    Shukaku and Shinki are in danger!
[20:33] ---
    Shinki!
[20:34] ---
    I'll be there soon!
[20:48] ---
    Shinki, do we have
    a chance of winning?
[20:51] ---
    I doubt that they're weak enough
    to allow us to get away.
[20:54] ---
    Besides…
[20:56] ---
    I have to avenge my uncle!
[21:04] ---
    Wait for us, Shinki!
[21:10] ---
    We'll reach the village soon,
    Lord Kazekage.
[21:18] ---
    P-Please hang in there!
[21:22] ---
    No!
[21:24] ---
    The seal on Urashiki is going to—!
[21:43] ---
    You gave me a harder time
    than I expected…
[21:48] ---
    But this game…is mine!
[23:26] ---
    Found you!
[23:29] ---
    I'm going to enjoy
    our playtime together!
[23:34] ---
    I'll torment you to
    my heart's content…
[23:38] ---
    Let me avenge…my uncle!
[23:42] ---
    Next time on Boruto:
    Naruto Next Generations:
[23:45] ---
    "Urashiki Returns"
    
    
    
    
[23:47] ---
    Shinki, I'll be there soon,
    so don't let 'em get you!
