**[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] ---**
