    The Shinobi Prison: Hozuki Castle
    
    
    
[02:06] ---
    Stop!
[02:09] ---
    Fire Style: Celestial Prison!
[02:22] ---
    That should do it.
    Unshackle them.
[02:34] ---
    You have committed serious crimes
    unbecoming of a shinobi.
[02:38] ---
    Therefore, you have been
    sent here to Hozuki Castle.
[02:41] ---
    The Celestial Prison has been embedded
    in each of you to bind your chakra.
[02:44] ---
    As long as it's on you,
    you can't use any ninjutsu.
[02:48] ---
    If you try to escape
    outside the castle,
[02:50] ---
    the jutsu will create a chain of fire
    that will burn you.
[02:55] ---
    Any criminal, no matter how evil,
    can be rehabilitated.
[02:59] ---
    So, I look forward to the day
[03:01] ---
    you're released from prison,
    completely reformed.
[03:05] ---
    Chief Officer Benga
    will explain the rest.
[03:10] ---
    Thank you very much, Lord Mujo.
[03:15] ---
    Whatever worked on the outside
    doesn't mean crap in here!
[03:19] ---
    Pound two things into your heads!
[03:21] ---
    One, I make the rules around here!
[03:24] ---
    Even idiots like you should
    be able to remember that!
[03:28] ---
    What's the other thing?
[03:29] ---
    Don't interrupt me
    while I'm speaking!
[03:33] ---
    The second rule is…
[03:34] ---
    Don't forget the first rule,
    even if it kills you.
[03:37] ---
    Keep your arrogant mouth shut!
[03:39] ---
    Just because you're kids,
    don't think we'll go easy on you!
[03:42] ---
    Oww!
[03:44] ---
    Don't move!
[03:47] ---
    Hey, you!
[03:50] ---
    Fool! You can't escape!
[03:54] ---
    I'm not gonna fall for your bluff!
[03:56] ---
    See?
[04:06] ---
    Didn't I say
    you can't leave the castle?
[04:10] ---
    That's horrible!
[04:12] ---
    Hey, do something—!
[04:16] ---
    Keep your mouth shut!
[04:18] ---
    Call the doctor.
[04:19] ---
    Yes, sir!
[04:22] ---
    Have you heard of
    the Mujina Gang?
[04:25] ---
    Mujina?
[04:27] ---
    You don't know?
[04:28] ---
    They're targeting and creating chaos
    all over the Land of Fire.
[04:31] ---
    Do you know what
    their boss looks like?
[04:34] ---
    It's not just his face.
[04:35] ---
    His name, age, background…
[04:38] ---
    Even the kinds of jutsu he uses
    is shrouded in mystery.
[04:42] ---
    Gang members make
    a blood oath.
[04:44] ---
    If they're captured,
    they never talk.
[04:47] ---
    And anyone who tries
    to desert is killed.
[04:51] ---
    No wonder there's nothing
    out there about the boss.
[04:54] ---
    But we found one exception.
[04:59] ---
    A man named Kokuri sent this.
[05:02] ---
    About a year ago, he secretly stole
    gang money and snuck away.
[05:05] ---
    He was living under
    everyone's radar…
[05:07] ---
    But it seems he committed
    another robbery
[05:10] ---
    and was thrown
    into Hozuki Castle.
[05:13] ---
    Hozuki Castle is
    a prison only for shinobi,
[05:16] ---
    administered by
    the Hidden Grass Village.
[05:18] ---
    KOKURI
    
[05:21] ---
    Based on his letter, Kokuri's managed
    to conceal the fact
[05:25] ---
    that he's a former member
    of the Mujina Gang…
[05:28] ---
    TSUKIYO
    
    But a prisoner who
    arrived after him,
[05:30] ---
    TSUKIYO
    
    just happens to be
    the gang's number two man.
[05:33] ---
    He's in a situation where
    he could be killed at any moment.
[05:36] ---
    He wrote that if we protect him,
[05:37] ---
    he'll tell us everything
    about the gang.
[05:41] ---
    If that's true, that's crucial intel.
[05:44] ---
    If that intel is that important,
[05:46] ---
    I'd think the prison would
    want to protect Kokuri too.
[05:49] ---
    Only big nations like ours
    have suffered
[05:52] ---
    from the Mujina Gang's misdeeds.
[05:55] ---
    For a small nation like
    the Hidden Grass,
[05:57] ---
    it's not worth their time.
[05:59] ---
    We sent a request to
    the Hidden Grass
[06:01] ---
    to put a temporary
    protection order on Kokuri,
[06:03] ---
    but they hemmed and hawed,
    saying it's an internal affair.
[06:06] ---
    They said it will take
    a month to make arrangements.
[06:09] ---
    If we wait around,
    who knows when he'll be killed.
[06:13] ---
    And so, Boruto, Mitsuki…
[06:15] ---
    We're going to send you in,
    undercover, as prisoners
[06:19] ---
    to protect Kokuri until all
    the arrangements have been made.
[06:26] ---
    Luckily, the lord of Hozuki Castle
    is an old acquaintance,
[06:29] ---
    and we've already taken steps
    to send you there as prisoners.
[06:33] ---
    Ordinarily, this is
    a chunin-class mission.
[06:36] ---
    But the team
    who was chosen can't go now.
[06:39] ---
    So, we're the stand-ins?
[06:41] ---
    You are just as skilled
    as chunin shinobi.
[06:45] ---
    And since the prisoners
    can't use ninjutsu,
[06:47] ---
    we've decided this is something
    you genin can accomplish.
[06:50] ---
    So, we won't be able to
    use our jutsu either?
[06:52] ---
    Don't worry about that.
[06:54] ---
    We asked the lord to use
    a fake Celestial Prison on you.
[07:10] ---
    I heard there were three coming.
[07:12] ---
    The other one was sent
    to the hospital.
[07:14] ---
    Be nice to each other!
[07:25] ---
    Am I the only one
    being left out of this one?
[07:28] ---
    You have an important job
    as well, ya know.
[07:32] ---
    I'm Sarada, I put in the request
    to conduct some research for my article.
[07:35] ---
    Young lady, are you really a student
    aspiring to become a journalist?
[07:39] ---
    Yes!
[07:40] ---
    Academics mean nothing.
[07:43] ---
    That's the kind of world we live in.
[07:45] ---
    Hey!
[07:47] ---
    Newbies always start
    at the bottom bunk.
[07:50] ---
    Huh?
[07:52] ---
    Oh well, you just have
    to suck it up.
[07:55] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[07:58] ---
    Don't bother.
[08:00] ---
    Kedama doesn't talk to anyone.
[08:04] ---
    You're both from
    the Land of Water?
[08:07] ---
    Yeah. I'm Boruto.
[08:09] ---
    I'm Mitsuki.
[08:10] ---
    Call me Arai. He's Kamata.
[08:13] ---
    So, what are you in for?
[08:15] ---
    Eight years for robbery.
[08:18] ---
    Pretty bold for your age.
[08:20] ---
    Huh? Hey!
[08:22] ---
    The toothbrush I put here is gone.
[08:27] ---
    Hey, you stole it!
    Give it back!
[08:29] ---
    If you leave something lying around,
    it no longer belongs to you.
[08:32] ---
    That's the rule around here.
[08:34] ---
    If you want it, I'll sell it to you.
[08:36] ---
    Who the hell made that rule up?
[08:38] ---
    Just be careful next time.
[08:40] ---
    Hey, where'd my book go?
[08:44] ---
    Hey, man!
[08:45] ---
    That's the rule, right?
[08:47] ---
    I'm willing to exchange it
    for the toothbrush though.
[08:52] ---
    He got you there, Kamata.
[08:55] ---
    Okay, newbies!
    Let's go, it's time to eat.
[09:00] ---
    That's the castle keep
    where Lord Mujo and I stay,
[09:02] ---
    the watch tower and
    the inner garden.
[09:04] ---
    As you can see,
    we're surrounded by the sea,
[09:07] ---
    and escape is impossible.
[09:11] ---
    Is it true that if
    you're splashed with water,
[09:14] ---
    the Celestial Prison Jutsu
    is undone?
[09:15] ---
    Well, it's a Fire Style, after all.
[09:17] ---
    But it takes much more
    than a splash to undo it.
[09:19] ---
    And it's useless looking
    around the premises
[09:21] ---
    for a large amount of water.
[09:23] ---
    We don't have baths or flush toilets.
[09:27] ---
    What's that?
[09:28] ---
    The medical ward.
[09:30] ---
    Guys faking illnesses
    take refuge there.
[09:36] ---
    Give me a break!
[09:43] ---
    You gotta be kidding me!
[09:49] ---
    If you don't pay attention,
    I'm gonna leave you behind.
[09:52] ---
    If you don't have this wooden tag,
    you can't go anywhere.
[09:55] ---
    You're lucky
    you didn't get lost, young lady!
[09:59] ---
    It's tradition for
    a member of the same family
[10:01] ---
    to become
    the lord of the castle, correct?
[10:03] ---
    Yeah. From the clan that
    uses Celestial Prison.
[10:06] ---
    It's an old-fashioned set-up.
[10:08] ---
    Are you dissatisfied with it?
[10:10] ---
    It's not that.
[10:11] ---
    But Lord Mujo tends to be
    too soft on the prisoners.
[10:15] ---
    It's futile to hope
    that they'll reform.
[10:18] ---
    Be strict and teach 'em.
    That's the tried and true way.
[10:24] ---
    Oh, Miss Sarada.
[10:26] ---
    How is your research coming along?
[10:28] ---
    Great! Thanks to you all!
[10:30] ---
    What's the big idea?
[10:31] ---
    – Damn it, wanna fight?
    – Let's do it!
[10:34] ---
    Hey, move away
    from each other!
[10:39] ---
    Are Boruto and Mitsuki managing?
[10:41] ---
    It seems so, for now.
[10:44] ---
    Honestly, I'd like to
    help you more.
[10:47] ---
    But I have my position as
    the Lord of the Castle. I'm sorry.
[10:56] ---
    He's a supplier.
[10:58] ---
    As long as you pay,
[11:00] ---
    he'll get you almost anything
    you ask for.
[11:02] ---
    Even though this is jail?
[11:03] ---
    Yeah. In here,
    money's the only thing that talks.
[11:06] ---
    Let's go.
[11:09] ---
    By the way,
[11:10] ---
    I heard that the Mujina Gang's
    number two man got caught.
[11:13] ---
    Yeah, so I heard.
[11:18] ---
    We're thieves too...
    I'm super curious.
[11:21] ---
    If you know him…
[11:23] ---
    He caused trouble,
    so he's in solitary.
[11:27] ---
    Solitary?
[11:28] ---
    Tsukiyo is that
    number two guy's name.
[11:32] ---
    As soon as he came here,
[11:33] ---
    he got into a fight with
    a guy named Kokuri.
[11:37] ---
    He beat up Kokuri pretty bad,
[11:40] ---
    so that's why Tsukiyo got sent
    to solitary as punishment,
[11:42] ---
    And Kokuri? Did he die?
[11:44] ---
    Just the opposite.
[11:46] ---
    He's in the medical ward now,
    taking it nice and easy.
[11:50] ---
    Clever guy.
[11:52] ---
    Is the medical ward
    that nice a place?
[11:55] ---
    Well, they've got air conditioning.
[11:57] ---
    Oh! I wanna go there!
[12:00] ---
    Forget it, it's impossible.
[12:01] ---
    The doctor over there
    is really sharp.
[12:03] ---
    You can't fool him by faking.
[12:06] ---
    The medical ward is in
    a separate building.
[12:09] ---
    Also the doctor and
    Benga hate each other,
[12:11] ---
    so even guards aren't welcome there.
[12:13] ---
    It's probably like an oasis
    in this entire prison.
[12:16] ---
    After hearing that,
    I wanna go there even more!
[12:20] ---
    Well, it's not as if there isn't a way…
[12:23] ---
    But I wouldn't recommend it.
[12:28] ---
    You were told when
    you came to the island, right?
[12:30] ---
    This place is called Hozuki Castle.
[12:33] ---
    Yeah.
[12:34] ---
    There are Hozuki,
    Chinese lantern plants, everywhere.
[12:36] ---
    Oh… They're Chinese lantern plants!
[12:39] ---
    But Chinese lantern plants
    are poisonous.
[12:43] ---
    Red ones aren't that dangerous,
[12:45] ---
    but you have to watch out for
    the white ones that fruit once in a while.
[12:48] ---
    Once, a curious prisoner ate
    a Chinese lantern fruit
[12:51] ---
    that got blown in by the wind…
[12:53] ---
    He didn't die, but his entire body
    went numb and he couldn't move.
[12:57] ---
    I see.
[12:59] ---
    If I eat that, I could fool that doctor.
[13:02] ---
    But to us over here,
[13:04] ---
    that patch of Chinese lantern plants
    is nearly impossible to reach.
[13:08] ---
    I think you'll just have to wait
    until the wind blows one over to you.
[13:15] ---
    Are you going to do it?
[13:16] ---
    I don't like it,
    but it's for the mission.
[13:19] ---
    What choice do we have?
[13:26] ---
    The thing is how to get there
    without touching the ground.
[13:30] ---
    Boruto…
[13:32] ---
    I guess we have to use that wire.
[13:35] ---
    But can something
    so thin support my weight?
[13:42] ---
    Leave it to me.
[13:52] ---
    Oh!
[14:04] ---
    Recreation time's over!
[14:06] ---
    Return to your cells!
[14:16] ---
    Did you get it yet?
[14:32] ---
    There it is!
[14:33] ---
    Hey, you two over there!
[14:35] ---
    Didn't you hear me say
    that recreation time is over?!
[14:39] ---
    I'll be there in a sec!
[14:41] ---
    My clothes got snagged
    on the fence!
[14:44] ---
    Is it here yet, Mitsuki?
[14:47] ---
    Hey, you two!
[14:57] ---
    I'm loose now!
[15:06] ---
    That was close!
[15:10] ---
    Oh!
[15:11] ---
    Amazing, Boruto.
    How did you get it?
[15:14] ---
    I was just lucky!
[15:16] ---
    All right!
[15:18] ---
    You're not serious about
    eating it, are you?
[15:21] ---
    I'm not gonna pass up
    living easy with air conditioning.
[15:26] ---
    Idiot!
[15:27] ---
    Whatever happens to you
    is not my responsibility!
[15:36] ---
    Guard! Come quick! Guard!
[15:42] ---
    Boruto! Hang in there!
[15:47] ---
    Damn it! I was on my break!
[15:54] ---
    I was talking to him, and
    then he suddenly keeled over in pain.
[16:12] ---
    This Kokuri hung out
    with bad guys, right?
[16:15] ---
    Can we trust him?
[16:17] ---
    It's not unusual for a prisoner
    to lie out of desperation.
[16:21] ---
    Part of the mission is also to verify
[16:24] ---
    whether Kokuri can
    be trusted or not.
[16:36] ---
    What's your name?
[16:38] ---
    Do you know where you are?
[16:56] ---
    Where am I?
[16:57] ---
    Would you like some water?
[17:07] ---
    My mouth is totally numb!
[17:09] ---
    You were out for a whole day.
[17:11] ---
    But don't worry.
    You're safe here.
[17:14] ---
    This is the only oasis
    in this prison.
[17:17] ---
    Oasis?
[17:19] ---
    Oh, right!
    To get to the medical ward, I…
[17:23] ---
    Hey! I'm looking for someone…
[17:26] ---
    His name's Kokuri.
[17:37] ---
    Ow!
[17:47] ---
    Hey, cut it out, stop!
[17:50] ---
    Did you come here to kill me?!
[17:51] ---
    Huh?
[17:52] ---
    I was right, huh?!
[17:53] ---
    No! You got it wrong!
[17:54] ---
    We got your letter
[17:56] ---
    and I'm here from
    the Hidden Leaf to save you!
[18:00] ---
    Are you lying?
[18:02] ---
    You're Kokuri, right?
[18:03] ---
    Of the Mujina Gang.
[18:05] ---
    What was the color
    of the envelope?!
[18:06] ---
    Like I'd remember
    something like that!
[18:12] ---
    Blue! It was a blue envelope!
[18:18] ---
    I-I thought you were here
    to kill me.
[18:27] ---
    The instant I saw Tsukiyo,
    I thought I was gonna die.
[18:30] ---
    That's why I took measures.
[18:32] ---
    While the guard was looking,
    I pretended that he and I were fighting,
[18:35] ---
    and I purposely hit my head.
[18:37] ---
    You don't seem at all
    like the bad guy type.
[18:41] ---
    I hear that a lot.
[18:42] ---
    I heard you ran off with
    the gang's money.
[18:45] ---
    But you seem pretty weak.
[18:49] ---
    Anyway, you managed
    to desert the gang,
[18:52] ---
    so why'd you do something
    to get arrested?
[18:55] ---
    I'll explain it all when
    you take me to Hidden Leaf Village.
[18:59] ---
    How much time is left
    on your sentence?
[19:01] ---
    Um… About ten years, I think.
[19:04] ---
    "I think"?
    Not very detail oriented, are ya?
[19:07] ---
    Logically,
    I should already be out.
[19:09] ---
    But Benga was mistreating
    another prisoner, so I punched him…
[19:12] ---
    And I got a ridiculous
    amount of time added on.
[19:15] ---
    Is that why you ended up
    running into Tsukiyo?
[19:18] ---
    You're so unlucky!
[19:20] ---
    Right?
[19:21] ---
    But we're here now,
[19:23] ---
    so we can guarantee
    your safety at least.
[19:26] ---
    That would be great,
    but don't take any chances, okay?
[19:29] ---
    Tsukiyo's a frightening man.
[19:38] ---
    Tonight's a half-moon.
[19:40] ---
    Half dark and half light...
[19:45] ---
    It's proof I've got luck
    on my side.
[19:50] ---
    Did it go well?
[20:00] ---
    Using a knife?
[20:03] ---
    Make sure it goes deep,
    without fail.
[20:06] ---
    Are you going already?
[20:08] ---
    My fever's gone and
[20:09] ---
    if I linger too long,
    they'll get suspicious of me.
[20:12] ---
    You want me to hit you
    a couple of times?
[20:14] ---
    No, are you kidding?!
[20:16] ---
    Anyway, it'll be fine as long as
    the doctor's around.
[20:20] ---
    You wait here.
[20:23] ---
    Don't eat things you find
    on the ground, okay?
[20:25] ---
    I got it.
[20:29] ---
    Start walking!
[20:31] ---
    Didn't I tell you to treat prisoners
    with respect?!

    You can leave now, doctor!
[20:55] ---
    I can't do that.
[21:01] ---
    Hey!
[21:04] ---
    Kokuri!
[21:07] ---
    A-A man! Suddenly—!
[21:17] ---
    What's going on?!
[21:18] ---
    Someone attacked him!
[21:20] ---
    Find him! Hurry!
[21:22] ---
    R-Right!
[21:25] ---
    Is that true?
    Someone attacked you?
[21:27] ---
    It's true! I swear!
[21:29] ---
    Security here in medical ward
    is very tight.
[21:32] ---
    I don't think anyone could enter easily
    without the wooden tag…
[21:36] ---
    Then how did he get in here?
[23:27] ---
    Kokuri was attacked.
[23:29] ---
    I can't believe
    the medical ward is unsafe too!
[23:32] ---
    What's going on right now?
[23:33] ---
    There's someone watching
    over him.
[23:35] ---
    We have to make
    our move soon, huh?
[23:37] ---
    It would be great if we could
    do something to get him near us,
[23:40] ---
    so we could guard him.
