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!
**[21:35] ---**
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—!
**[23:42] ---**
