[00:05] ---
    Looks like the meeting with
    the Feudal Lord
[00:07] ---
    is happening today as scheduled.
[00:09] ---
    We had some
    unexpected interference.
[00:11] ---
    But whatever.
    I'm gonna go notify the Boss.
[00:14] ---
    It's time for the Mujina Gang
    to finally make its move.
[00:30] ---
    Mr. Uzumaki,
    we've been expecting you.
[00:33] ---
    Please, this way.
[00:39] ---
    Lord Tento is waiting for you
    in the garden.
[00:42] ---
    O-Okay…
[00:55] ---
    This way.
[01:01] ---
    You booked the entire hotel
    and the gardens?
[01:04] ---
    Feudal Lords sure
    do things differently.
[01:06] ---
    Oh, really?
[01:08] ---
    Isn't this pretty standard?
[01:10] ---
    It's not like we bought the place.
[01:12] ---
    What an arrogant jerk!
[02:46] ---
    Friends!!
    
    
    
[02:47] ---
    Friends!!
    
    
    But never mind all that.
[02:50] ---
    What was it called,
    the Shadow Clone?
[02:51] ---
    Show me now!
[02:56] ---
    The Feudal Lord Ikkyu Madoka
    *personally asked for you!
[03:02] ---
    Fine, guess I have no choice.
[03:05] ---
    Watch closely, ya brat.
[03:08] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[03:14] ---
    There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of you!
[03:17] ---
    Real ninja are so cool!
[03:20] ---
    You're definitely
    the son of the Hokage!
[03:22] ---
    W-Well, yeah.
[03:24] ---
    So, cool! So, cool!
[03:26] ---
    Look at him laughing
    so genuinely…
[03:28] ---
    *He's still just a kid.

[03:30] ---
    But you know, I hear the Hokage
    can make over a thousand clones.
[03:35] ---
    Compared to that,
    this is pretty lame.
[03:40] ---
    This mission might be tougher
    *than I imagined.
[03:43] ---
    Next, I wanna see that one!
[03:45] ---
    What was it?
[03:46] ---
    The one where you transform?
[03:48] ---
    Oh, the Transformation Jutsu.
[03:50] ---
    Right! That one!
[03:52] ---
    Okay, sure.
[03:56] ---
    All right…
    *I'll just give him a little shock.

[03:59] ---
    Transform!
[04:02] ---
    Sexy Jutsu!
[04:07] ---
    Followed by…
[04:09] ---
    The Harem Jutsu!
[04:13] ---
    How's this, ya brat?
[04:15] ---
    *So shocked, you can't talk, huh?
[04:24] ---
    What? That's not the reaction
    *I expected!

[04:28] ---
    Well, that was fun, but I would've
    preferred a less flashy type.
[04:34] ---
    Those sexy types come and go
    all the time at my house.
[04:37] ---
    I'm tired of seeing them!
[04:39] ---
    Precocious brat!
[04:42] ---
    I bet you don't have any friends!
[04:46] ---
    Huh?
[04:47] ---
    Aren't you my friend, Boruto?
[04:55] ---
    You're kinda dense, aren't ya?
[04:59] ---
    What about my attitude
    makes you think I am?
[05:02] ---
    Man, I'm just so glad!
[05:05] ---
    I've always wanted a ninja friend
[05:06] ---
    who was about
    the same age as me.
[05:08] ---
    Are you listening to me?!
[05:10] ---
    Look!
[05:11] ---
    This is my Card collection.
[05:13] ---
    What?
[05:15] ---
    A-Amazing!
[05:16] ---
    You even have the Con Exclusive
    Sharingan Mode Kakashi Hatake!
[05:19] ---
    You practically have every card!
[05:21] ---
    That's my binder of rares and above.
[05:24] ---
    I have lots more.
[05:27] ---
    You have so many,
    why you don't have one of Dad…
[05:29] ---
    I mean, the Seventh Hokage?
[05:33] ---
    I just haven't been able to
    get the card I really want.
[05:35] ---
    It's really weird.
[05:37] ---
    Tell me about it…
[05:38] ---
    *Wait, don't tell me–!
[05:44] ---
    Y-You have it.
[05:47] ---
    What, Boruto?
[05:49] ---
    You want that card?
[05:51] ---
    Want? That's an understatement.
[05:52] ---
    This is the only reason
    why I keep buying them.
[05:56] ---
    I've never seen
    the actual thing before, ya know?
[05:58] ---
    Oh…
[06:00] ---
    You want it?
[06:02] ---
    Hey, man!
[06:04] ---
    Do you even know how rare this is?!
[06:07] ---
    It's super rare!
[06:10] ---
    It's fine.
[06:12] ---
    As long as I have my black card,
    I can get it again!
[06:19] ---
    In exchange…
[06:21] ---
    Will you teach me ninjutsu?
[06:23] ---
    Huh?
[06:24] ---
    I was thinking that I want to
    become a ninja too.
[06:27] ---
    Well? If you'll teach me ninjutsu,
    that rare card is yours.
[06:32] ---
    It's not a bad deal, right?
[06:36] ---
    No thanks!
[06:37] ---
    Huh? Why?
[06:39] ---
    I'm the type who has to get
    what he really wants
[06:42] ---
    by his own strength,
    no matter how hard it is.
[06:47] ---
    Then, how about something else?
[06:49] ---
    Just tell me anything you want. Okay?
[06:52] ---
    Just teach me ninjutsu!
[06:54] ---
    This guy just uses money
    *to get his way!

[06:56] ---
    C'mon, please!
[06:58] ---
    You have nothing else
    to do anyway, right?
[07:02] ---
    Fine!
[07:03] ---
    But training's gonna be super hard!
[07:05] ---
    Really? Yes!
[07:08] ---
    *All right!
[07:09] ---
    Time to be really hard on him

[07:11] ---
    and beat that attitude
    *right outta him.

[07:15] ---
    Cut the defense budget?
[07:17] ---
    But it's essential that
    we continue to investigate
[07:20] ---
    the ruins that Kaguya left behind.
[07:22] ---
    Besides that, there are other things…
[07:25] ---
    I know.
[07:26] ---
    And I know that this peace
    is temporary.
[07:30] ---
    I don't expect this situation
    to continue forever.
[07:35] ---
    That's why I think it's important
    to focus more
[07:38] ---
    on social services and education
    which we've never budgeted for.
[07:42] ---
    But–!
[07:44] ---
    Shikamaru.
[07:48] ---
    Lord Ikkyu…
[07:50] ---
    I always tell you to call me Ikkyu.
[07:53] ---
    You're the only one around
[07:54] ---
    that I can be totally at ease
    and honest with.
[07:59] ---
    Ikkyu, whether you divert the budget
    to something else or not,
[08:02] ---
    what we do will not change.
[08:05] ---
    Naruto…
[08:08] ---
    It's a shinobi's job to protect the nation,
    and its people.
[08:17] ---
    Thank you for understanding.
[08:21] ---
    Well then, I'll be leaving soon.
[08:23] ---
    You're leaving already?
[08:25] ---
    To be honest, I'd like nothing better
    than to stay
[08:27] ---
    and talk with you a little longer…
[08:28] ---
    But neither of us have
    the time, do we?
[08:34] ---
    Oh, that's right!
[08:36] ---
    Your son came with you this time.
[08:38] ---
    Yes.
[08:39] ---
    Usually, I spend so little time
    with him.
[08:42] ---
    So, this was a way
    to make amends.
[08:44] ---
    He's been obsessed with ninja
    because of something called Cards…
[08:50] ---
    When he learned I was going
    to the Leaf Village,
[08:52] ---
    he insisted on coming along.
[08:55] ---
    On top of which, he asked that
    Boruto be his bodyguard.
[08:59] ---
    I see.
[09:00] ---
    He's a handful, but please ask him
    to be good to him.
[09:04] ---
    I couldn't pay much attention
    to him,
[09:07] ---
    so he grew up spoiled and
    a little out of control.
[09:11] ---
    That's just how kids are, ya know?
[09:14] ---
    FIRE
    
    I really hope that's true.
[09:22] ---
    Aw man, no more!
[09:25] ---
    Is it even possible to hit this?
    I don't believe it!
[09:28] ---
    Do a better job teaching me!
[09:31] ---
    I've been teaching you properly
    all this time.
[09:34] ---
    Watch.
[09:35] ---
    You don't just "throw" a shuriken.
[09:41] ---
    You kind of "strike" them.
[09:42] ---
    I wonder if it's something
    you can understand…
[09:44] ---
    Strike rather than throw.
[09:51] ---
    Aw man, why doesn't it hit already?!
[09:54] ---
    It's not something that
    you can do right away.
[10:01] ---
    Hey, why do you want to train
    to become a ninja?
[10:04] ---
    Huh?
[10:05] ---
    I got interested after
    I started collecting Cards.
[10:09] ---
    I mean…
    Ninja are strong and cool!
[10:12] ---
    Is that all?
[10:14] ---
    Okay, I'm feeling this now!
[10:16] ---
    Go!
[10:18] ---
    I can't do this.
[10:19] ---
    That was quick!
[10:21] ---
    I can't hit anything!
[10:23] ---
    Don't you want to become strong?
[10:27] ---
    You want to be a cool shinobi,
    don't you?
[10:29] ---
    Then show a little more dedication!
[10:33] ---
    Shut up.
[10:35] ---
    C'mon!
[10:40] ---
    I hate this.
[10:42] ---
    *I knew it. He gave up.

[10:45] ---
    Now do you understand
[10:46] ---
    that things don't go the way
    you want so easily?
[10:55] ---
    Well, let's call it a day.
[10:57] ---
    What's the point of all this
    if we stop now?
[10:59] ---
    I'm going to keep trying
    until I get it!
[11:02] ---
    *This kid–!

[11:04] ---
    All right, I get it.
[11:06] ---
    If you really want to do this,
    I'll stick with you until you get it.
[11:12] ---
    Boruto!
[11:15] ---
    Oh, right. You wanted
    that rare card too.
[11:18] ---
    No! That's not why!
[11:20] ---
    It's because you got serious
    about doing this!
[11:23] ---
    Sure, okay.
[11:25] ---
    *Actually, he really pisses me off!

[11:30] ---
    Oh dear!
[11:31] ---
    Where did he go?
[11:33] ---
    What is the bodyguard doing?
    Seriously!
[11:42] ---
    Damn it!
[11:45] ---
    That was close. One more time.
[11:47] ---
    Milord!
[11:49] ---
    Yamaoka!
[11:51] ---
    Milord!
[11:53] ---
    So, this is where you've been!
[11:55] ---
    Watch me, watch me, Yamaoka!
[11:57] ---
    I just barely missed the target!
[11:59] ---
    Until now, I couldn't even get it
    to go in that direction!
[12:02] ---
    What is the meaning of this,
    Lord Boruto?
[12:05] ---
    Our request was that you guard
    the Young Lord, that's all.
[12:08] ---
    We can't have you doing things
    without authorization.
[12:10] ---
    Wait, Yamaoka.
[12:12] ---
    Milord, this is much too dangerous!
[12:14] ---
    I asked him to teach me.
[12:16] ---
    Don't blame Boruto!
[12:18] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[12:19] ---
    You are the heir to the Feudal Lord
    of the Land of Fire.
[12:23] ---
    There is no need for you to
    undertake such things like this.
[12:26] ---
    But–!
[12:26] ---
    I just started getting better at it.
    Let me try just a little bit longer.
[12:29] ---
    Milord!
[12:30] ---
    Let him do it.
[12:32] ---
    He's finally getting the hang of it.
[12:35] ---
    It's more fun for him now
[12:36] ---
    to hit a target with shuriken
    with his own strength,
[12:39] ---
    than buying up rare cards
    with his black card.
[12:43] ---
    Yamaoka!
[12:47] ---
    Good grief. I understand.
[12:50] ---
    However–!
[12:51] ---
    This is only while
    we are staying here.
[12:55] ---
    Yes!
[12:56] ---
    The next one will be a bull's eye!
[12:59] ---
    *I doubt if he'll agree to that!

[13:05] ---
    Focus more on striking!
[13:12] ---
    You mentioned the credit card earlier…
[13:17] ---
    The Lord gave it to him
    for his birthday.
[13:22] ---
    Huh? It was?
[13:24] ---
    The Lord is so busy,
[13:27] ---
    he doesn't even know
    what his son wants.
[13:31] ---
    So, he decided to get that card,
[13:32] ---
    so he could purchase
    whatever he wanted.
[13:35] ---
    Milord, it's a birthday present
    *from your father.

[13:40] ---
    *Wow! I wonder what it is?!

[13:45] ---
    *Milord?

[13:52] ---
    *Leave it to Papa!

[13:55] ---
    And still, he smiled brightly
[13:58] ---
    and said,
    "This is just what I wanted."
[14:02] ---
    He then collected
    the strongest Cards
[14:06] ---
    and participated in a tournament.
[14:09] ---
    And just recently, he made it to
    the finals of a big tournament.
[14:14] ---
    Winning the tournament was a way
    to deal with his loneliness?
[14:18] ---
    Perhaps.
[14:21] ---
    He probably thinks that if
    he garners attention at the tournament,
[14:24] ---
    his father will come see him play.
[14:28] ---
    So, he said that he was going
    to win the next one without fail.
[14:33] ---
    No wonder he's collected
    so many cards.
[14:36] ---
    Yes.
[14:37] ---
    EXTREME
    
    If he completes his collection,
    winning would be a certainty.
[14:41] ---
    EXTREME
    
    And the Lord would be sure
    to attend the event…
[14:45] ---
    He wants his father
    to acknowledge him,
[14:48] ---
    even if it's just a little bit.
[14:54] ---
    But perhaps today,
[14:55] ---
    the Young Lord discovered something
    even more than that.
[14:59] ---
    Huh?
[15:01] ---
    I've never seen him so enthusiastic
    about anything.
[15:16] ---
    – I did it!
    – Whoa!
[15:17] ---
    I hit the target! I did it!
[15:19] ---
    See, you can do it!
[15:23] ---
    I finally did it.
[15:25] ---
    But if I don't keep practicing,
    I'll lose my touch again, right?
[15:30] ---
    Yeah…
[15:31] ---
    If you don't keep at it,
    muscle memory can fade.
[15:34] ---
    And even if you keep practicing,
[15:35] ---
    it doesn't mean
    you'll hit it every time.
[15:37] ---
    But,
[15:39] ---
    If you just keep at it,
    despite all of that…
[15:40] ---
    I bet it will lead to something.
[15:46] ---
    Something?
[15:50] ---
    That's right.
[15:51] ---
    Something that you can't buy
    with a black card…
[15:53] ---
    something that you can only win
    with your own hands!
[15:55] ---
    Here's a good luck charm for that.
[16:00] ---
    Make sure you stop
    and come back
[16:01] ---
    before you push yourself
    too much.
[16:04] ---
    I'll go on ahead and
    prepare your dinner.
[16:10] ---
    Can you stay with me
    just a little longer?
[16:12] ---
    Yeah, sure.
[16:15] ---
    Hey, looking good!
[16:26] ---
    Who's there?
[16:49] ---
    Damn it!
[16:50] ---
    A decoy again?
[16:52] ---
    Boruto, you fall for traps too easily!
[16:55] ---
    I'm all out of life now.
[16:57] ---
    Game over! I win again!
[16:59] ---
    Damn it.
[17:00] ---
    Isn't there some rule where
    you can win once just by dedication?
[17:05] ---
    What does that mean?
[17:09] ---
    Hey, I was wondering…
[17:10] ---
    what kind of people become a ninja?
[17:13] ---
    Seriously speaking,
    can I become one?
[17:16] ---
    Well, it all depends on
    how much effort you put in.
[17:20] ---
    Do you really want to become one?
[17:23] ---
    Yeah.
[17:24] ---
    My dad's always telling me
    ninja are amazing.
[17:28] ---
    That they're trustworthy people.
[17:31] ---
    He's always working and
    doesn't come home much,
[17:34] ---
    and he's always thinking
    about ninja.
[17:37] ---
    That's why I want to
    become a ninja
[17:39] ---
    who's amazing enough to
    get a Card made of him.
[17:41] ---
    Then maybe, my dad will finally
    acknowledge me.
[17:47] ---
    *You did great.

[17:53] ---
    *I-It's important…

[17:55] ---
    *This is…something really important.

[18:04] ---
    *I'll be watching.

[18:10] ---
    I'm…
[18:11] ---
    Huh?
[18:13] ---
    I'm just like you.
[18:16] ---
    I wanted my dad to notice me.
[18:22] ---
    I did lots of stupid things
    just to get his attention.
[18:26] ---
    I even got banned from
    being a ninja once.
[18:31] ---
    I can be a ninja now,
    only because everyone forgave me.
[18:36] ---
    Boruto…
[18:41] ---
    I might not be much now,
    but one day…
[18:45] ---
    I wanna become an amazing ninja
    who supports the Hokage.
[18:51] ---
    One day, for sure.
[18:55] ---
    Well! It's not gonna be easy!
[19:00] ---
    What's that about?!
[19:07] ---
    Okay, one more game!
[19:11] ---
    Oh, that's right!
[19:12] ---
    You don't have
    a Seventh Hokage card, do you?
[19:15] ---
    Nope.
[19:18] ---
    You can have this.
[19:20] ---
    What?! Are you serious?
[19:29] ---
    No, it's okay. I don't want it.
[19:31] ---
    Huh? Why?
[19:33] ---
    Well…
[19:35] ---
    Because I've decided too!
[19:37] ---
    To get the things I want
    with my own strength,
[19:39] ---
    no matter how hard it is.
[19:43] ---
    Then this is a reward
    for hitting bull's eye.
[19:46] ---
    You've earned it
[19:47] ---
    by working hard for it
    all on your own.
[19:49] ---
    So, what do you say?
[19:55] ---
    Thank you!!
[19:56] ---
    Will you continue training me
    on shuriken
[19:58] ---
    tomorrow and the day after that too?
[20:00] ---
    Sure…
[20:01] ---
    But the road ahead is long,
    you know.
[20:03] ---
    I know that!
[20:04] ---
    Okay then, I'm gonna be really strict
    with you tomorrow!
[20:07] ---
    Okay!
[20:44] ---
    Oh yeah!
    It's tomorrow, huh?
[20:47] ---
    Yeah, but I don't want
    to go home yet.
[20:50] ---
    Boruto, it was just a few days,
    but I had a lot of fun.
[20:55] ---
    Me too. I wasn't expecting it though.
[20:58] ---
    Can we meet again?
[21:02] ---
    Hey man…
[21:06] ---
    Is that something that you'd say
    to a friend?
[21:19] ---
    Boruto!
[21:27] ---
    Hey! Why are you crying?
[21:35] ---
    *Did you get the face?

[21:37] ---
    Yeah.
[21:38] ---
    Now, the Feudal Lord will
    have no choice
[21:40] ---
    but to give in to Mujina's demands…
[21:44] ---
    *Understood.

[21:46] ---
    *We're all counting on you…

[21:49] ---
    *Boss.

[23:25] ---
    Milord! Let's get away from here now!
[23:27] ---
    Yamaoka, what happened?
[23:29] ---
    I came across a dubious man!
[23:31] ---
    He might be targeting
    Lord Ikkyu's life!
[23:34] ---
    If we remain he might
    even target you!
[23:36] ---
    No, I'll catch him!
[23:38] ---
    Take me to him!
[23:39] ---
    It's time to show Papa
    the results of my training!
[23:42] ---
    Next time on Boruto:
    Naruto Next Generations:
[23:45] ---
    "The Value of a Hidden Ace"
    
    
    
[23:47] ---
    You're gonna be our hidden ace,
    Lord Tento!
    
    
[23:51] ---*
    THE VALUE OF A HIDDEN ACE
