    fad(290,1)\i1\pos(513,273)}The Man Who Disappeared*
[02:11] ---
    What? Did I use too much power?
[02:18] ---
    Training by yourself?
    I'm impressed.
[02:21] ---
    Mr. Sasuke!
    I heard that you found it!
[02:25] ---
    That means Shojoji wasn't
    just blabbering, right?
[02:29] ---
    And, what about it?
[02:31] ---
    What else?
    We can't sit back and relax!
[02:34] ---
    Let's go and find this organization!
[02:37] ---
    Why the rush?
[02:39] ---
    Because of this!
[02:43] ---
    That mark—!
[02:46] ---
    Don't tell me…
[02:49] ---
    you're part of that organization?
[02:51] ---
    I want to find out what
    this weird thing is about.
[02:55] ---
    Blindly seeking an enemy
[02:57] ---
    without knowing their circumstance
    or intent invites only death.
[03:00] ---
    But—!
[03:02] ---
    Just focus of becoming capable enough
    to carry out your assigned missions successfully.
[03:05] ---
    If you can't do that,
    you'll only be a burden during battle.
[03:12] ---
    I understand that
    you want to rush out there.
[03:15] ---
    But this is the time to learn from as
    many people as you can,
[03:17] ---
    and gain experience.
[03:19] ---
    And missions offer
    the perfect opportunities for that.
[03:24] ---
    Although, I'm one to talk…
[03:25] ---
    I left the village when
    I was really young.
[03:28] ---
    Did you come all the way here
    just to tell me that?
[03:33] ---
    Try it on.
[03:37] ---
    That mark on your hand
    attracts attention.
[03:40] ---
    I'm not gonna act
    all scared because of it!
[03:43] ---
    No matter who or what
    may come at me, I'll—
[03:45] ---
    Asking for trouble to come
    to you is what fools do.
[03:49] ---
    Well, since my teacher is
    instructing me to do so…
[03:54] ---
    It kinda looks cool!
[03:56] ---
    Listen.
[03:57] ---
    What you have to do right now—
[03:59] ---
    Is to focus on my missions, right?
[04:01] ---
    Fine! I'll complete 'em perfectly
    and successfully!
[04:04] ---
    No matter what kind they are!
[04:08] ---
    Huh?
[04:09] ---
    C'mon, locating someone?!
[04:12] ---
    For this mission,
[04:13] ---
    you'll be searching for
    a missing person in the Land of Valleys.
[04:18] ---
    Isn't there a mission that'll
    test our skills a little more?
[04:21] ---
    Boruto, every mission is equally important!
[04:23] ---
    I know that!
[04:26] ---
    Even though they are ranked.
[04:27] ---
    I know, right?!
[04:29] ---
    Please get more details
    from the client
[04:32] ---
    who will be waiting for you
    in the Land of Valleys.
[04:35] ---
    The Land of Valleys is quite far, isn't it?
[04:38] ---
    Searching for anyone in
    unfamiliar territory is going to be difficult.
[04:42] ---
    That's why I was called here.
[04:48] ---
    Mugino, you're back!
[04:51] ---
    That was long one this time.
[04:53] ---
    Has it been two—
    no, it's been three years, right?
[04:56] ---
    Yeah… I was finally released.
[04:58] ---
    How's it feel to be back home?
[05:01] ---
    You think he was in jail?
[05:04] ---
    No, stupid!
[05:05] ---
    He was away on
    a long-term expedition.
[05:08] ---
    We've been on
    lots of missions together
[05:11] ---
    and I consider him
    one of my good friends.
[05:12] ---
    Mr. Mugino is familiar
    with the terrain there,
[05:15] ---
    so he'll accompany you
    on your mission!
[05:18] ---
    Let me introduce you!
[05:19] ---
    This is Sarada, Mitsuki and…
[05:21] ---
    Boruto Uzumaki!
[05:22] ---
    My mentor was just telling me
    to get a lot of experience…
[05:26] ---
    So, I'm looking forward to going to
    a place I don't know, ya know!
[05:28] ---
    We're not going on a little outing.
[05:31] ---
    Don't be a burden, okay?
[05:34] ---
    All right, we leave immediately.
[05:38] ---
    What a bad attitude.
[05:45] ---
    What was the nature of
    your long-term mission?
[05:50] ---
    It's so boring,
    it's not even worth telling.
[05:52] ---
    I'd like to know too!
[06:00] ---
    My team's mission was to
    mediate in conflict-heavy areas.
[06:04] ---
    Conflict-heavy?
[06:06] ---
    Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning…
[06:10] ---
    When the Five Great Nations
    formed an alliance,
[06:12] ---
    major wars certainly ceased.
[06:15] ---
    But that pertains only to
    the Great Nations.
[06:18] ---
    You can say that fighting
[06:19] ---
    between the smaller outlying nations
    actually increased.
[06:24] ---
    Even though the Fourth Great Ninja War
    ended a long time ago?
[06:28] ---
    Did you think that the moment
    the Great Nations stopped fighting,
[06:32] ---
    smaller skirmishes would
    automatically end too?
[06:38] ---
    Putting out those embers before
    they spread and burn out of control…
[06:42] ---
    was Mugino and his team's job.
[06:44] ---
    Things look peaceful in this world,
    but there's an underbelly to it.
[06:48] ---
    It wouldn't be strange if those
    who still want to destroy the world
[06:50] ---
    are lurking in the shadows.
[06:53] ---
    We just aren't aware of them.
[07:04] ---
    Go to sleep as soon as
    you're done eating.
[07:07] ---
    We'll be walking all day tomorrow.
[07:09] ---
    I'll go find water.
[07:13] ---
    Mugino not your cup of tea?
[07:16] ---
    It's not like that.
[07:17] ---
    I just feel like he's treating
     us like newbies.
[07:22] ---
    Mugino's spent a lot of time
    in conflict-stricken regions.
[07:25] ---
    He just comes across as
    very unemotional and matter-of-fact.
[07:27] ---
    Just say it.
    Say that we're inexperienced.
[07:30] ---
    He's saved my life countless times.
[07:33] ---
    You'll understand in time.
[07:48] ---
    This is the Land of Valleys?
[07:50] ---
    Yes. Just as its name suggests,
[07:52] ---
    it's a nation at the bottom
    of a giant valley.
[08:03] ---
    We've come from
    the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
[08:06] ---
    Someone by the name of Mia
    requested for us to come.
[08:17] ---
    I've been expecting you.
[08:19] ---
    I'm Mia.
[08:27] ---
    A medical equipment company
    was established here,
[08:29] ---
    where once there was nothing.
[08:30] ---
    It attracted talented technicians
    from many regions.
[08:34] ---
    My husband was among them.
[08:37] ---
    I take it your husband is
    the one who's gone missing?
[08:40] ---
    Anato is a researcher at
    the company's lab.
[08:45] ---
    What kind of research?
[08:47] ---
    Since it's related to company interests
    it's shrouded in secrecy,
[08:50] ---
    so I don't know much.
[08:52] ---
    I just know that he was
    on the team searching for
[08:54] ---
    resources to use in developing
    new medical technology components.
[08:59] ---
    Resources for components?
[09:01] ---
    Like unusual plants and their sap,
    bird's nests, sometimes even animal waste.
[09:07] ---
    In any case,
    his job was to gather and analyze
[09:10] ---
    those resources from
    all over the world.
[09:15] ---
    Did he disappear during
    one of these sourcing trips?
[09:21] ---
    He was supposed to return
    in one month.
[09:24] ---
    But he didn't and it's been three weeks
    past that initial date.
[09:30] ---
    Three weeks?!
[09:32] ---
    I've asked the company
    countless times,
[09:35] ---
    but they refuse to tell me anything,
    saying they need to protect trade secrets.
[09:38] ---
    That's why I went through a friend
[09:40] ---
    to put in a request
    with the Hidden Leaf.
[09:45] ---
    I know that Anato is still alive!
[09:48] ---
    Please bring him back!
[09:52] ---
    I'm just so worried about him.
[10:01] ---
    You can count on us!
[10:03] ---
    We'll find him for sure!
[10:06] ---
    Please do!
[10:18] ---
    This is the company
    where Anato is employed.
[10:24] ---
    So, do you have an appointment?
[10:26] ---
    I already told you!
[10:27] ---
    We don't have an appointment!
[10:30] ---
    We came today to—
[10:32] ---
    Please leave this to us.
[10:34] ---
    What kind of research
    is conducted here?
[10:37] ---
    This lab conducts R&D of medicines
    to the manufacturing of prosthetics.
[10:41] ---
    Our company conducts research in
    a wide range of medical fields.
[10:45] ---
    That's a portrait of Mr. Victor,
    our proprietor.
[10:50] ---
    After he was seriously wounded
    in the last Great War,
[10:52] ---
    it became his wish to help others
    like him who are suffering.
[10:55] ---
    With that desire,
    he started this company,
[10:58] ---
    and turned it into one of the world's
    premier medical equipment manufacturers.
[11:02] ---
    I want to know about
    Anato's disappearance!
[11:05] ---
    Do you have any new updates?
[11:08] ---
    We have also dispatched
    a search party.
[11:11] ---
    I understand how
    you must feel,
[11:13] ---
    but please wait until
    we get an update from them.
[11:15] ---
    Can you at least tell me
    the location
[11:19] ---
    where Anato's research team
    went missing?
[11:23] ---
    The movements and actions
    of the search party are classified,
[11:26] ---
    so even we don't know the details.
[11:29] ---
    Well, that's a not good reason!
[11:31] ---
    Bring Anato back!
[11:35] ---
    Mrs. Mia, please calm down!
[11:39] ---
    Boruto, help us!
[11:41] ---
    Mrs. Mia, let's calm down, ya know!
[11:47] ---
    As I've said many times before,
[11:50] ---
    the actions of the search party
    are confidential, so…
[11:54] ---
    Please let me speak to
    the President!
[11:57] ---
    Unfortunately, Mr. Victor is away
    on a business trip.
[12:01] ---
    I'll assist you as much as
    I am able to.
[12:08] ---
    I'm very sorry, but there's nothing
    more I can talk about.
[12:13] ---
    Please excuse me.
[12:25] ---
    They're very secretive.
[12:28] ---
    Competition is very fierce in
    the field of medical research.
[12:31] ---
    Every little leak is scooped up
    by rival companies
[12:34] ---
    who want to get a jump
    on new inventions.
[12:38] ---
    I see.
[12:39] ---
    It's like a secret recipe
    for hamburgers.
[12:43] ---
    Is that right?
[12:45] ---
    That's not all.
[12:46] ---
    The resources that a company must
    gather could be endangered plants,
[12:50] ---
    or ones that can only be found
    underground in restricted locations.
[12:55] ---
    Discovery of those sites could
    cause serious issues.
[13:00] ---
    In any case,
    we'll do our very best.
[13:03] ---
    Thank you.
    There's no one else I can rely on.
[13:07] ---
    Count on us!
[13:09] ---
    We don't even have a lead,
    so what's your plan?
[13:12] ---
    Uh, well, you know…
[13:14] ---
    We do have a clue.
[13:16] ---
    Really?
[13:19] ---
    I got some data when
    we were in the lobby earlier.
[13:23] ---
    I couldn't find out where Anato is,
[13:26] ---
    but we now know where
    the search party was dispatched to.
[13:30] ---
    That's amazing!
[13:32] ---
    Thanks to the scene you guys created,
    it was quite easy.
[13:36] ---
    Well, yeah!
[13:38] ---
    This is what's called
    perfect teamwork.
[13:41] ---
    Where is it?
[13:43] ---
    Where was the search party was sent?
[13:45] ---
    They traveled west for two nights…
    where there's a huge waterfall.
[13:50] ---
    They're focusing their search
    in that area.
[13:53] ---
    Anato talked a lot about that location.
[13:57] ---
    Do you know about it?
[13:59] ---
    Yes. He said he had been there once,
[14:04] ---
    and that it was very beautiful and
    that he'd take me there one day.
[14:09] ---
    That means Mr. Anato is familiar
    with the terrain there.
[14:13] ---
    If we leave now,
[14:15] ---
    we'll get there the day
    after tomorrow in the morning.
[14:17] ---
    Yeah!
[14:31] ---
    I wrote down everything I could recall
    about what Anato told me.
[14:35] ---
    Please bring him back safely!
[14:40] ---
    Don't worry.
[14:42] ---
    First, let's check the area
    near the waterfall.
[14:45] ---
    Let's hurry! Every minute counts.
[14:52] ---
    Mr. Mugino, there's another group
    on the move.
[14:56] ---
    Five or six of them, huh?
[15:00] ---
    Judging by their speed,
    they're shinobi.
[15:03] ---
    Do you think they're enemies?
[15:05] ---
    I don't know.
[15:07] ---
    But don't let down your guard.
[15:09] ---
    They're closing in fast!
[15:14] ---
    They've surrounded us, huh?
[15:15] ---
    Guess we've got no choice!
[15:21] ---
    What do you want with us?!
[15:25] ---
    Guess they don't wanna talk.
[15:34] ---
    I'm positive that man is—!
[15:36] ---
    The president of the company? Victor?
[15:38] ---
    Everyone! Stand down.
[15:40] ---
    There seems to be
    a misunderstanding.
[15:50] ---
    Word reached me that
    Hidden Leaf shinobi were here.
[15:55] ---
    It's because you guys are
    so secretive about everything!
[15:58] ---
    That's why Mrs. Mia was so worried,
    and she hired us!
[16:01] ---
    I have no intention of
    holding her at fault.
[16:05] ---
    The receptionist said
    you were away on a business trip.
[16:09] ---
    We didn't expect you to be
    in the search party.
[16:13] ---
    We're searching for them
    as hard as we can as well.
[16:17] ---
    It seems this was not communicated
    well enough to your client.
[16:25] ---
    We heard…
[16:27] ---
    about how you were involved
    in the Fourth Great Ninja War.
[16:31] ---
    "The Fourth Great Ninja War,"
    you say?
[16:34] ---
    You shinobi love to give
    every war a name.
[16:40] ---
    But, to the ordinary citizens who
    get caught up in the fighting,
[16:43] ---
    named or not, it's all the same…
[16:45] ---
    War is just plain war.
[16:48] ---
    I want the medical technology
    developed by my company
[16:52] ---
    to make a difference in people's lives.
[16:56] ---
    Anato's team was looking
    for resources
[17:00] ---
    related to research on
    lost body parts.
[17:05] ---
    My dad has an arm just like that.
[17:08] ---
    Your father, you say?
[17:10] ---
    Boruto's father is
    the Seventh Hokage.
[17:15] ---
    I see.
[17:16] ---
    If I recall correctly,
    the Hokage lost an arm in battle.
[17:20] ---
    He uses a custom arm now.
[17:23] ---
    An ordinary citizen can't easily access
    the prosthetic arm that your father uses.
[17:29] ---
    I'm striving for regenerative therapy
    that anyone can have access to.
[17:35] ---
    Regenerative therapy?
[17:37] ---
    Instead of a prosthesis,
[17:39] ---
    it's the technique of using one's own DNA
    to regenerate a lost limb.
[17:46] ---
    Is that even possible?
[17:49] ---
    Not just for limbs,
    but for the heart or brain!
[17:53] ---
    And in time, we'll uncover
    the secrets of aging,
[17:56] ---
    and make it possible to
    extend human life.
[18:00] ---
    But in order for this to happen,
    we still lack the essential resources!
[18:08] ---
    If you can share
    any information that you have,
[18:10] ---
    we will tell you what we know.
[18:12] ---
    Our goals are the same, right?
[18:15] ---
    Why don't we work together?
[18:19] ---
    Perhaps, this is not the time to
    quibble about trade secrets.
[18:24] ---
    Fine!
[18:27] ---
    We've discovered the site
[18:28] ---
    where Anato's team seems to
    have gotten involved in an incident.
[18:32] ---
    It's about eight leagues north from here.
[18:36] ---
    What happened there?
[18:38] ---
    They were attacked by
    someone or something.
[18:40] ---
    We found most of
    the research team dead.
[18:43] ---
    Medical technology is worth money,
    so getting attacked is not surprising.
[18:48] ---
    Was Anato among them?!
[18:50] ---
    He wasn't there.
[18:52] ---
    We did find footprints leading
    away from the site.
[18:56] ---
    But those also stopped midway.
[18:59] ---
    We've been combing this area
    for ten days.
[19:04] ---
    All right.
    I've shared all that we know.
[19:08] ---
    This is our lead.
[19:11] ---
    What's that?
[19:12] ---
    A list of spots that
    Anato might go to.
[19:17] ---
    Here, and here…
[19:20] ---
    Here as well!
[19:21] ---
    We've already searched
    the top five on the list.
[19:24] ---
    But not this last location.
[19:33] ---
    Mr. Anato!
[19:34] ---
    Please answer if you're here!
[19:37] ---
    Mr. Anato, can you hear us?
[19:43] ---
    The president might just
    be a good guy.
[19:46] ---
    To come all the way here,
[19:47] ---
    with that leg to help look
    for one of his employees.
[19:50] ---
    Don't trust someone
    that you've just met.
[19:54] ---
    That's an ironclad rule
    of the battlefield.
[19:56] ---
    You're so distrustful.
[19:59] ---
    It's become a habit over time.
[20:02] ---
    I've spent a lot of time on missions
    in conflict regions.
[20:05] ---
    But I'm still alive, thanks to that.
[20:10] ---
    Sure, compared to you,
[20:12] ---
    we may lack experience since
    you've been all over the world…
[20:17] ---
    But isn't it depressing if all you can do
    is be distrustful of everyone?
[20:22] ---
    Besides, we just met you too, Mr. Mugino!
[20:27] ---
    Absolutely! Don't trust me either!
[20:30] ---
    Yeah, yeah, is that right?
[20:34] ---
    Huh?!
[20:38] ---
    Hey, come here!
[20:45] ---
    What are these?
[20:49] ---
    This is—
[20:57] ---
    What happened here?
[21:03] ---
    Wait!
[21:15] ---
    That's the company logo!
[21:18] ---
    There's no mistake!
[21:20] ---
    You're Mr. Anato, right?
[21:21] ---
    Mia sent us!
    We've come to rescue you!

    What's going on?!
[21:43] ---
    Are you okay?!
[23:26] ---
    You're Mr. Anato, right?
[23:27] ---
    What happened?
[23:29] ---
    He's lost all sense of self.
[23:32] ---
    I don't think he'll understand
    anything we say to him.
[23:34] ---
    But the differences between
    our fighting power is plain to see.
[23:37] ---
    We'll attack and stop his movements.
[23:38] ---
    Please wait! If we do that,
    Mr. Anato will—!
