**[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
