[00:07] ---
    It seems a medical ward employee's
    wooden tag is missing.
[00:10] ---
    Hey… This isn't gonna turn
    into a lockdown, is it?
[00:14] ---
    The wooden tag went missing
    three days ago.
[00:17] ---
    Soon after, Kokuri was attacked by
    a man in an inmate's uniform.
[00:22] ---
    This isn't a coincidence.
[00:24] ---
    This means the guy
    who attacked Kokuri
[00:26] ---
    could have stolen
    the wooden tag, huh?
[00:40] ---
    Start the lockdown!
[00:42] ---
    Close off all the cell blocks
    and search for the wooden tag!
[00:45] ---
    No prisoner will be allowed out
    until it's found!
[00:59] ---
    Aw man, there goes what little free time
    we already had left.
[01:04] ---
    You've gotta be kidding me!
[01:08] ---
    Boruto!
[01:11] ---
    Hey, guys!
    I need to confirm something.
[01:14] ---
    Sorry, but I'm gonna need
    to check your belongings.
[01:17] ---
    Huh?
[01:18] ---
    What are you talking about?
[01:22] ---
    Someone in here has the wooden tag.
[01:28] ---
    Yesterday morning, Kokuri was attacked
    in the medical ward
[01:31] ---
    by someone wearing
    an inmate's uniform.
[01:33] ---
    What about it?
[01:36] ---
    Hold on and listen until I finish.
[01:39] ---
    Earlier you just heard from
    the guard that
[01:42] ---
    a staff member reported their wooden tag
    was lost three days ago.
[01:45] ---
    Maybe the perp who took
    the wooden tag
[01:48] ---
    is the same one
    who attacked Kokuri.
[01:50] ---
    You're saying the one
    who attacked me
[01:53] ---
    is the same guy
    who stole the wooden tag?
[01:55] ---
    No way!
[01:56] ---
    Is it even possible to steal
    a wooden tag?
[01:59] ---
    I think it's possible.
[02:02] ---
    Remember, three days ago
    when Boruto collapsed,
[02:05] ---
    and staff from the medical ward
    came to get him?
[02:07] ---
    Maybe it happened then.
[02:10] ---
    True.
[02:12] ---
    But, if so…
[02:14] ---
    That time, all the cells
    were shut except ours.
[02:18] ---
    All the other prisoners
    were all in their cells.
[02:22] ---
    In other words…
[02:23] ---
    The assassin who stole the wooden tag
    and attacked Kokuri is in this cell!
[03:59] ---
    The Criminal Targeting Kokuri
    
    
    
[04:04] ---
    Don't say stuff like that, Boruto!
[04:07] ---
    Don't worry, just calm down.
[04:09] ---
    Leave this to Mitsuki and me.
[04:11] ---
    I don't like this one bit.
[04:14] ---
    You're accusing me of
    being the perp.
[04:16] ---
    Why am I under suspicion?
[04:19] ---
    W-Well, we don't know who's associated
    with Tsukiyo, so…
[04:24] ---
    Tsukiyo?!
[04:26] ---
    You mean, Tsukiyo,
    the one who's in solitary?!
[04:28] ---
    Kokuri's life is being targeted
    by Tsukiyo of the Mujina Gang.
[04:33] ---
    You're saying this guy
    was involved with Tsukiyo
[04:36] ---
    more than we first thought?
[04:39] ---
    Yes. Since Tsukiyo is in solitary
    and can't take any action,
[04:43] ---
    it might be why he's targeting Kokuri
    through an accomplice.
[04:46] ---
    Hold on a minute!
[04:47] ---
    Even if that's true,
    why are we the only suspects?
[04:52] ---
    Where's your proof that
    you're not working for Tsukiyo?
[04:55] ---
    Boruto is not the perp!
[04:58] ---
    He came here just to protect me!
[05:01] ---
    Protect you?
[05:04] ---
    How do you know each other?
[05:07] ---
    We're friends!
[05:09] ---
    Friends?
[05:10] ---
    Yeah, they're my friends!
[05:12] ---
    When they found out that
    Tsukiyo was targeting me,
[05:16] ---
    they decided to protect me.
[05:18] ---
    I never heard about that.
[05:20] ---
    'Cuz I never told you.
[05:22] ---
    Is that how it is?
[05:25] ---
    You guys put yourselves
    in such danger
[05:28] ---
    just to be in the same cell
    as your friend?
[05:30] ---
    Hearing it out of the blue like that,
    it's hard to believe.
[05:34] ---
    No, I believe Boruto's story.
[05:38] ---
    He's risking his life for Kokuri's sake.
[05:40] ---
    That's more than enough proof.
[05:44] ---
    I believe you, Boruto!
[05:49] ---
    Thanks!
[05:53] ---
    We're going to start the search!
[05:56] ---
    If anyone is caught hiding
    the wooden tag,
[05:58] ---
    all cellmates will be
    considered accomplices.
[06:00] ---
    All occupants of the cell
    will be sent to solitary,
[06:02] ---
    not just the perpetrator.
[06:03] ---
    And all sentences will
    be extended!
[06:06] ---
    If you don't want that to happen,
    hand over the perp!
[06:10] ---
    Start with Building One!
[06:12] ---
    Yes, sir!
[06:22] ---
    There's no way I'm going to solitary!
[06:24] ---
    That will mean even less free time!
[06:27] ---
    My term is almost up too.
[06:30] ---
    I'm not gonna get
    my sentence extended.
[06:32] ---
    If I'm sent to solitary,
    I'm definitely gonna die!
[06:37] ---
    We'd better do something quick.
[06:39] ---
    Yeah. Let's settle this
    before things get worse.
[06:44] ---
    Fine, I'll cooperate.
[06:46] ---
    Guess I have no choice.
[06:50] ---
    Are you going to
    go question Tsukiyo?
[06:53] ---
    I'm assigning a guard for you.
[06:55] ---
    There's no telling what
    he's thinking.
[06:59] ---
    Is he that dangerous?
[07:02] ---
    Ordinarily, members of
    notorious gangs like the Mujina,
[07:07] ---
    are kept separated to
    prevent collaboration.
[07:12] ---
    If I had known about Kokuri too…
[07:15] ---
    You couldn't help it.
[07:17] ---
    Kokuri himself kept his ties to
    the Mujina Gang a secret.
[07:23] ---
    You're right.
[07:24] ---
    In any case, you must be on
    your guard with that man.
[07:28] ---
    Yes.
[07:29] ---
    Kokuri, you didn't see
    your attacker's face?
[07:34] ---
    No.
[07:35] ---
    I had my back to the entrance,
    and it all happened so quickly.
[07:39] ---
    You too, Boruto?
[07:40] ---
    Yeah. I heard some noises,
[07:42] ---
    so I followed the doctor
    and the guard to Kokuri's room…
[07:45] ---
    and the attacker was already gone.
[07:49] ---
    What an idiot.
[07:50] ---
    Everything was in place,
    but he couldn't kill his target.
[07:54] ---
    Kamata, are you the perp?
[07:56] ---
    No way!
[07:58] ---
    I'm just saying
    I wouldn't mess up like that.
[08:02] ---
    Anyway, we'd better hurry before
    Benga and the others get here.
[08:10] ---
    This is bad.
[08:11] ---
    Hey! All this is happening
    because of you.
[08:16] ---
    S-Sorry!
[08:18] ---
    And by the way,
    why is Tsukiyo after you?
[08:21] ---
    If he wants you dead,
[08:23] ---
    you must've done
    something pretty bad.
[08:25] ---
    Uh, well…
[08:26] ---
    I'd keep my mouth shut,
    if I were you.
[08:29] ---
    This guy's weak,
    but he's conniving.
[08:32] ---
    He'll jump at anything
    that's profitable to him.
[08:34] ---
    If you let a secret slip,
    who knows how he'll use it.
[08:37] ---
    What?!
[08:39] ---
    Huh?
[08:39] ---
    You're dead!
[08:41] ---
    Try it, if you can.
[08:46] ---
    You're all bark and no bite.
[08:47] ---
    You just bluff and
    can't even fight.
[08:51] ---
    He doesn't look like
    an assassin at all.
[08:55] ---
    No, this guy gets gutsy when
    he's in a favorable position.
[09:00] ---
    Guys like him will stab someone
    in the back without thinking twice.
[09:05] ---
    Why you—!
[09:06] ---
    You better watch yourself.
[09:08] ---
    Anyway, let's check out
    everyone's belongings.
[09:11] ---
    The guards are gonna
    be here soon.
[09:14] ---
    You're right.
[09:15] ---
    Do whatever you want.
[09:17] ---
    Kedama, you too, okay?
[09:23] ---
    Be careful with him.
[09:24] ---
    This guy looks like
    he doesn't care,
[09:27] ---
    but he's a coward who'll betray you
    behind your back.
[09:30] ---
    Got it.
[09:32] ---
    Okay then, I'm going to
    check all the bunks.
[09:36] ---
    That's about the only place
    where we can hide things.
[09:40] ---
    Fine, search to your heart's content.
[09:46] ---
    Hold it!
[09:48] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
[09:49] ---
    You expect me to let you search
    where I sleep?!
[09:51] ---
    What now?!
[09:53] ---
    Didn't you just say
    we could do whatever we want?
[09:56] ---
    This is different.
[09:58] ---
    There's no way I'm gonna let anyone
    search through my bunk.
[10:02] ---
    Aw man! This is ridiculous.
[10:04] ---
    It's just gonna be a quick look.
[10:06] ---
    Nope. No way!
[10:07] ---
    Why are you against this?
[10:10] ---
    You got something
    you don't want us to see?
[10:13] ---
    Why are you looking
    at me like that?
[10:15] ---
    The way you're acting,
    it's wrong not to suspect you.
[10:20] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[10:21] ---
    You always go to see
    Haie the guard, don't you?
[10:24] ---
    What?!
[10:25] ---
    That's got nothing to do with this.
[10:28] ---
    I don't know about that.
[10:31] ---
    I mean, maybe you're contacting
    Tsukiyo through Haie?
[10:36] ---
    Quit grasping at straws,
    you country thief!
[10:39] ---
    What did you call me?
[10:40] ---
    I know about you.
[10:42] ---
    You bragged about being
    the lone wolf in your village.
[10:46] ---
    But you got caught the instant
    you went to a Great Nation.
[10:50] ---
    Why you—!
[10:53] ---
    Oh, and I just remembered.
[10:54] ---
    Yesterday, during recreation time,
[10:57] ---
    didn't you head for
    the medical ward?
[11:00] ---
    I was watching you.
[11:01] ---
    While you were walking,
[11:02] ---
    you kept looking around to
    see if anyone noticed.
[11:06] ---
    Did the country thief who
    pretended to be a lone wolf
[11:09] ---
    decide to become
    Tsukiyo's lap dog?
[11:12] ---
    Shut up!
[11:14] ---
    So, what's the real story?
[11:17] ---
    I was heading for the cafeteria.
[11:20] ---
    I didn't go to the medical ward
    that's beyond it.
[11:23] ---
    Can anyone back that up?
[11:27] ---
    'Course not.
[11:28] ---
    There's no one you can trust
    in Hozuki Castle.
[11:33] ---
    Which means, we can't trust what
    you say either, right, Mr. Kamata?
[11:38] ---
    Huh?
[11:39] ---
    Quit trying to trip me up.
[11:43] ---
    Yeah, there is someone.
[11:45] ---
    I was meeting with the supplier
    in the cafeteria at that time.
[11:49] ---
    You mean, the person who'll get you
    anything as long as you pay?
[11:54] ---
    Yeah.
[11:56] ---
    You see…I wanted something.
[11:58] ---
    Wanted something? Like what?
[12:01] ---
    He's got nothing.
[12:04] ---
    He's lying to try and fool us.
[12:06] ---
    I'm not lying!
[12:07] ---
    Then tell us the truth!
[12:10] ---
    It was…
[12:12] ---
    What?
[12:15] ---
    Aw man!
[12:16] ---
    Chocolates! It was chocolates!
[12:17] ---
    Chocolates?!
[12:18] ---
    I have a sweet tooth.
[12:21] ---
    Once in a while,
    I ask him to bring me chocolates.
[12:25] ---
    Here it is!
[12:28] ---
    They're actual chocolates!
[12:30] ---
    You want some?
[12:31] ---
    Really?!
[12:33] ---
    They might be poisoned.
[12:35] ---
    Huh?!
[12:36] ---
    There's nothing in it.
[12:40] ---
    Anyway, just ask the supplier.
[12:43] ---
    He can prove my innocence.
[12:47] ---
    The supplier, huh?
[12:49] ---
    I guess, in a way, he's the one
    we can trust the most.
[12:54] ---
    We just have to prove it though.
[12:57] ---
    Why would you hide chocolates?
[13:00] ---
    It's kinda embarrassing for
    a grown adult to love sweets like this.
[13:04] ---
    Damn it, why are you
    putting up a front?
[13:07] ---
    Shut up!
[13:10] ---
    They're coming.
[13:17] ---
    Next!
[13:19] ---
    This is bad!
[13:20] ---
    Benga and the guards will
    be here any minute!
[13:26] ---
    Yeah, we don't have
    much time left.
[13:35] ---
    I sure am lucky!
[13:37] ---
    To have such a sweet,
    young lady come to visit me.
[13:41] ---
    You're Tsukiyo the second in command
    of the Mujina Gang, right?
[13:46] ---
    I'm honored that a young lady
    like you would know my name.
[13:52] ---
    Would you mind telling me
    about yourself and the Mujina Gang?
[13:56] ---
    I would think that in your position,
[13:58] ---
    it's not necessary to ask me
    anything at this point.
[14:02] ---
    Huh?
[14:04] ---
    Instead, I want you to tell me
    about yourself.
[14:07] ---
    Why are you pretending
    to be a reporter?
[14:16] ---
    Who is he?!
[14:20] ---
    Okay, next!
[14:21] ---
    Yes, sir!
[14:23] ---
    There's no time!
[14:24] ---
    I showed you where I sleep.
    You're next!
[14:27] ---
    There's no way
    I'm letting you check my bunk!
[14:30] ---
    Are you still stuck on that?
[14:33] ---
    Don't you want this thing
    to be over quickly,
[14:35] ---
    so you can enjoy some free time?
[14:37] ---
    This and that are different things!
[14:39] ---
    I don't get it!
[14:41] ---
    You know,
[14:42] ---
    it always looks like you're doing
    something sneaky
[14:44] ---
    when you're on your bunk.
[14:46] ---
    It's none of your business!
[14:48] ---
    There's something shady
    about you, after all.
[14:50] ---
    I'm gonna take a look.
[14:53] ---
    I'll check it out.
[14:59] ---
    Hey, that's—!
[15:00] ---
    Huh?
[15:03] ---
    That's Kedama's bunk.
[15:06] ---
    Not that it matters since
    we're going to check it too.
[15:09] ---
    Oh, is that right?
    Sorry, sorry.
[15:12] ---
    Don't touch my things
    without permission.
[15:14] ---
    Ouch!
[15:17] ---
    What are you doing?!
[15:19] ---
    I didn't say I was gonna cooperate.
[15:22] ---
    What?!
[15:34] ---
    How?!
[15:37] ---
    That's the—!
[15:38] ---
    Kedama's the assassin!
[15:40] ---
    Come here, Kokuri!
[15:47] ---
    You haven't changed, after all.
[15:49] ---
    You're still a coward.
[15:53] ---
    At one time, he was respected
    by all the other prisoners.
[15:59] ---
    Kedama was?
[16:00] ---
    Yeah.
[16:01] ---
    But actually, he was in with the guards
    and spied on the other prisoners.
[16:05] ---
    And he ratted out his friend who was
    trying to break out from prison.
[16:08] ---
    He's the worst kind of scum!
[16:10] ---
    So, you're the one!
[16:12] ---
    I guess you're not going to ask me
    for my side of the story.
[16:17] ---
    'Course not.
[16:18] ---
    We can't trust you.
[16:21] ---
    I get that you can't trust me.
[16:24] ---
    But I don't take orders from anyone.
[16:28] ---
    Although I don't expect you
    to believe me.
[16:32] ---
    Hey, I think it's too soon to decide.
[16:35] ---
    I think we should hear him out.
[16:37] ---
    Yeah.
[16:38] ---
    Tell us what you were thinking.
[16:42] ---
    No way!
[16:43] ---
    Don't listen to him!
[16:45] ---
    It's okay!
[16:46] ---
    In this situation, there's no way
    he can deceive us.
[16:50] ---
    I said no!
[16:51] ---
    What's gotten into you
    all of a sudden?
[16:53] ---
    You guys know nothing about him,
    that's why you can say that!
[16:59] ---
    You can't be too careful with him!
[17:01] ---
    Well, whatever! Just hurry it up.
[17:04] ---
    There's no time left.
[17:06] ---
    Let's just turn him in to the guards.
[17:08] ---
    Yeah, I'm gonna call the guards.
[17:11] ---
    Um…
[17:13] ---
    I'm interested in what
    he has to say too.
[17:16] ---
    Maybe this guy might know something
    about the Mujina Gang.
[17:22] ---
    The Mujina Gang?
[17:24] ---
    Why would you want to ask him?
    You probably know a lot more!
[17:28] ---
    Huh?
[17:29] ---
    Well…
[17:30] ---
    Just a minute.
[17:31] ---
    How do you know about Kokuri
    and the Mujina Gang?
[17:36] ---
    Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it?
[17:38] ---
    He was a member of
    the Mujina Gang too.
[17:41] ---
    It's obvious!
[17:42] ---
    No one said anything at all about
    Kokuri belonging to the Mujina Gang.
[17:50] ---
    He belongs to the Mujina Gang?
[17:54] ---
    Kokuri's kept everything about
    his past a secret.
[17:58] ---
    Yet, you knew about his true identity.
[18:02] ---
    In other words,
    you knew everything about him.
[18:07] ---
    What's going on, Arai?
[18:10] ---
    In fact, you took the lead and
[18:12] ---
    controlled the conversation
    from the start.
[18:14] ---
    Was it so that you could steer us away?
[18:18] ---
    No!
[18:19] ---
    That's—!
[18:20] ---
    Hold on a minute.
[18:21] ---
    What about the wooden tag that
    was found in Kedama's bunk?
[18:25] ---
    Maybe when Arai stripped off
    his blanket from his bunk,
[18:28] ---
    the wooden tag was inside.
[18:30] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[18:32] ---
    He kept holding on to
    the blanket after that.
[18:36] ---
    Yeah, and when everyone's attention
    was somewhere else,
[18:41] ---
    he hid the tag in Kedama's bunk.
[18:52] ---
    Arai. That's not true, is it?
[18:57] ---
    You're the only one I need to—!
[19:07] ---
    It seems you thought this through,
    but you were too optimistic.
[19:19] ---
    You let Tsukiyo control you
    like a puppet.
[19:22] ---
    You've got some harsh punishment
    waiting for you.
[19:25] ---
    Better prepare yourself!
[19:27] ---
    So, this is settled, right?
[19:33] ---
    End the lockdown.
[19:39] ---
    Thank you.
[19:41] ---
    Also, please keep a strict watch
    on Tsukiyo in solitary confinement.
[19:46] ---
    Watch it, don't be so smug.
[19:53] ---
    Thanks for earlier.
[19:55] ---
    Why did you decide to
    hear me out?
[19:59] ---
    You looked a little hesitant.
[20:01] ---
    I thought there was something
    behind that.
[20:04] ---
    I see.
[20:07] ---
    Imagine you,
    a member of the Mujina Gang.
[20:10] ---
    Looks can be deceiving.
[20:12] ---
    No! I'm just—!
[20:15] ---
    Hey, you got any treasures
    or anything?
[20:18] ---
    I don't have anything like that!
[20:20] ---
    Come on! Don't hide it.
[20:23] ---
    Never mind.
    Let's be friends from now on.
[20:27] ---
    If you come across any profitable
    ventures, let me get in on it!
[20:37] ---
    I read your report.
[20:39] ---
    Make sure something like this
    doesn't happen again.
[20:42] ---
    Yes, Sir!
[20:44] ---
    Also…
[20:45] ---
    What is it?
[20:47] ---
    Yes.
[20:48] ---
    Do you know anything about
    that Boruto kid and Kokuri?
[20:51] ---
    It seems there's something
    between them…
[20:55] ---
    They must've been acquainted
    in the past or something.
[20:58] ---
    I'm not too keen on prisoners
    becoming close friends…
[21:02] ---
    But if you push the prisoners too hard,
    they might end up retaliating.
[21:08] ---
    But—!
[21:09] ---
    Unsavory rumors abound
    about you as well.
[21:13] ---
    I'm sure you know this,
[21:14] ---
    but don't suspect prisoners
    out of mere supposition.
[21:19] ---
    Yes, Sir!
[21:21] ---
    Damn it.
[21:23] ---
    What the hell is going on anyway?!
[21:28] ---
    HIDDEN GRASS TIMES
    
[21:32] ---
    I can't believe Arai was the assassin.
[21:35] ---
    Guess looks can be deceiving.
[21:41] ---
    Even Kokuri.
[21:43] ---
    Despite how he seems,
[21:44] ---
    he ran away
    with the gang's money and hid it.
[21:47] ---
    Yeah.
[21:48] ---
    There's still a lot
    we don't know about him.
[23:26] ---
    Hey, Boruto, Kokuri's originally
    a member of the Mujina Gang,
[23:30] ---
    I think he's still hiding something.
[23:32] ---
    Yeah.
[23:33] ---
    Seems he's hid the money
    he stole from the gang.
[23:37] ---
    And he committed a robbery that
    landed him here at Hozuki Castle.
[23:40] ---
    I think we just have
    to ask him directly.
[23:43] ---
    Next time on Boruto:
    Naruto Next Generations:
[23:46] ---
    “Kokuri's Secret”
    
    
    
[23:48] ---
    Hey, Kokuri.
    Do you have a minute?
    
    
    
[23:51] ---
    KOKURI'S SECRET
