**[01:49] ---**
We're totally surrounded!
**[01:52] ---**
Hey, it looks like we've fallen
right into their trap.
**[01:56] ---**
They're in here!
**[01:57] ---**
Hurry and break it down!
**[01:59] ---**
We can't hold them any longer,
ya know!
**[02:01] ---**
I don't think they're gonna
listen to us.
**[02:04] ---**
Yeah, we can't waste any time here
**[02:06] ---**
since we need to get
the Hashirama Cell back.
**[02:17] ---**
There they are! Up there!
**[02:41] ---**
They just keep coming at us!
**[02:42] ---**
Our chakra won't last if we have
to keep fighting them off!
**[02:45] ---**
Let's go!
**[02:46] ---**
All right!
**[02:47] ---**
They're getting away!
**[02:48] ---**
Follow 'em!
**[02:50] ---**
What do we do?!
**[02:51] ---**
Just run for now!
**[02:59] ---**
Where did they run off to?
**[03:00] ---**
Where's the treasure?!
**[03:06] ---**
What treasure?
**[03:08] ---**
We don't have anything like that.
**[03:11] ---**
You sure got the message quick.
**[03:13] ---**
We heard them shouting and spreading
the news that the "Leaf shinobi did it."
**[03:18] ---**
Damn it!
**[03:19] ---**
The guys who stole
the Hashirama Cell did it!
**[03:22] ---**
From what I saw,
there are a lot of ex-shinobi.
**[03:25] ---**
They'll do anything for money.
**[03:28] ---**
If we keep fighting, we won't be able
to catch up to the real culprits.
**[03:32] ---**
We have to avoid fighting as much as
possible and search for those guys.
**[03:36] ---**
We have to get
the Hashirama Cell back!
**[03:38] ---**
By the way, Boruto…
**[03:39] ---**
What's that smell?
**[03:43] ---**
Perfume?
**[03:45] ---**
I got a whole bottle splashed on me!
**[03:52] ---**
I smell it!
**[03:53] ---**
I can smell it!
**[03:55] ---**
It's perfume!
**[04:00] ---**
Not good.
**[04:02] ---**
Boruto, get rid of that smell!
**[04:03] ---**
Easy for you to say! How?
**[04:06] ---**
We have no choice.
Change of plans!
**[04:08] ---**
I'll go with Boruto and find a way
to get rid of the smell
**[04:11] ---**
and we'll catch up to you later!
**[04:12] ---**
Sarada and I will search for the guys
who stole the Hashirama Cell.
**[04:15] ---**
That's the only way!
**[04:17] ---**
We'll meet up later, Boruto!
**[04:18] ---**
Damn it!
**[04:20] ---**
I can't believe I'm holding
everyone back because of this?!
**[04:28] ---**
We should be safe
after coming this far.
**[04:33] ---**
Then while we have the time…
**[04:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:42] ---**
Yoruga!
**[04:43] ---**
Without your sacrifice,
**[04:45] ---**
we wouldn't have been able
to infiltrate Fushuu Castle.
**[04:49] ---**
Thanks to you,
we have the Hashirama Cell.
**[04:52] ---**
Hey! Be extremely careful with that!
**[04:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:56] ---**
But it's frustrating that
we can't use our full powers
**[04:58] ---**
until we reach the border.
**[04:59] ---**
We're buying time especially
for that reason.
**[05:01] ---**
While those guys from the Leaf
are being held up,
**[05:04] ---**
let's get as far away as possible.
**[05:13] ---**
How am I gonna get rid of this smell?
**[05:20] ---**
Hey, Boruto.
**[05:23] ---**
Try diving into that.
**[05:26] ---**
It's a drainage ditch!
**[05:28] ---**
The stench might neutralize
the smell of the perfume.
**[05:31] ---**
Hey, there's a limit to
some things, ya know?!
**[05:33] ---**
There's no way I'm diving into that!
**[05:36] ---**
Are you refusing absolutely?
**[05:38] ---**
I absolutely am.
**[05:40] ---**
I see.
**[05:41] ---**
You leave me no choice.
**[05:57] ---**
I guess there *is* a limit
to some things…
**[06:00] ---**
I told you!
**[06:02] ---**
We have to test everything
through trial and error.
**[06:04] ---**
I'm not gonna stand for that,
ya know?!
**[06:06] ---**
Keep your voice down!
Do you want them to find us?
**[06:09] ---**
We just managed to find
an undetectable route.
**[06:13] ---**
An undetectable route?
**[06:17] ---**
No way. Not through there…?
**[06:19] ---**
Exactly. Come with me.
**[06:25] ---**
Are you serious?
**[06:31] ---**
I wonder if Boruto is okay?
**[06:34] ---**
Frankly, the way we paired up
might have been a mistake.
**[06:37] ---**
What?
**[06:38] ---**
I just have a feeling that
Mugino and Boruto aren't compatible.
**[06:44] ---**
That's for sure.
**[06:45] ---**
Well, regret isn't going to
get us anywhere.
**[06:49] ---**
Let's just focus on getting
eyewitness info of the guys
**[06:51] ---**
who stole the Hashirama Cell.
**[06:53] ---**
Yes.
**[06:54] ---**
How about approaching that shop owner
in the black market?
**[06:58] ---**
I see!
**[07:00] ---**
It takes one to know one, eh?
**[07:02] ---**
Then I should do this!
**[07:07] ---**
As Kirisaki?
**[07:09] ---**
He knew that Kirisaki was expecting
a big payday.
**[07:13] ---**
So, you're gonna use that and
**[07:15] ---**
make him jump at
the chance to cooperate?
**[07:17] ---**
Sarada, stand by outside of the shop
in case anything unexpected happens.
**[07:21] ---**
Right!
**[07:37] ---**
Thank goodness we found
a well close to that ditch!
**[07:40] ---**
So? Did it take away the smell?
**[07:45] ---**
Yeah, we're good…probably.
**[07:49] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[07:51] ---**
The scent's finally gone.
**[07:52] ---**
Now we can meet up with
Sarada and Sensei!
**[07:55] ---**
No need to worry about anyone
coming after us!
**[08:00] ---**
Hold it!
**[08:03] ---**
I see. Guess we can't fool
a dog's nose!
**[08:06] ---**
On to the next lesson!
**[08:08] ---**
This is not the time to be thinking
about that!
**[08:10] ---**
A shinobi stays calm in a predicament
and thinks things through.
**[08:13] ---**
Okay, okay. Is that right?
**[08:21] ---**
Oh… Identical shinobi
wearing earrings, correct?
**[08:27] ---**
If you can find them,
I'll pay whatever it takes.
**[08:31] ---**
Why would a doctor like you
be looking for them?
**[08:34] ---**
They ran off without paying
their surgery bill.
**[08:38] ---**
I'm the type of guy that hits back hard
when I get conned.
**[08:41] ---**
I see.
**[08:43] ---**
Well, you're in luck.
**[08:44] ---**
There's a guy who
just happened to see 'em.
**[08:48] ---**
Really?!
**[08:49] ---**
Yes, please wait a moment.
**[09:03] ---**
Dammit, I've got to get rid of
this scent somehow!
**[09:06] ---**
No, it's impossible to camouflage
a scent completely from a dog.
**[09:10] ---**
What should we do then?
**[09:11] ---**
They'll find us again really quick!
**[09:14] ---**
Even now, our targets are
getting further away.
**[09:16] ---**
The only thing we can do is
to forget about our rendezvous
**[09:18] ---**
and get out of this village using
the shortest route possible.
**[09:21] ---**
We'll just have to risk it.
**[09:23] ---**
The shortest route?
**[09:29] ---**
That's right.
**[09:30] ---**
We're gonna cut right through 'em,
down the middle, all at once.
**[09:37] ---**
That's it!
**[09:38] ---**
Then–!
**[09:42] ---**
Hey?!
**[09:43] ---**
What's the point of going up?!
**[09:45] ---**
If they corner us up there,
we lose our escape route!
**[09:48] ---**
It's okay!
**[09:49] ---**
This is the right way!
**[09:51] ---**
How?!
**[09:52] ---**
Hey!
**[09:59] ---**
Found it!
That's our "shortest route"!
**[10:12] ---**
What's all this about?
**[10:16] ---**
You took the words right
outta my mouth, Mr. Kirisaki.
**[10:19] ---**
Or should I say, Leaf shinobi?
**[10:22] ---**
Don't underestimate
my intel network.
**[10:26] ---**
Someone quite astute found
the real Kirisaki slumbering away
**[10:29] ---**
in a deserted house.
**[10:32] ---**
I see.
**[10:33] ---**
Of all the people—!
**[10:35] ---**
Don't be mad at me.
**[10:39] ---**
These guys don't give a damn
about anything…if it's for money.
**[10:44] ---**
Hope you're ready!
**[10:47] ---**
Cha!
**[10:56] ---**
Sensei, this way!
**[11:01] ---**
Thanks! Let's retreat!
**[11:02] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[11:03] ---**
Don't let 'em get away!
**[11:11] ---**
Where did all of them come from?!
**[11:13] ---**
This is bad.
**[11:14] ---**
We're totally surrounded!
**[11:23] ---**
Hey!
**[11:27] ---**
What?!
**[11:29] ---**
Jump on!
**[11:34] ---**
An airship?!
**[11:35] ---**
Don't tell me…
**[11:37] ---**
…he stole it?!
***SIGN*** RUDDER
**[11:56] ---**
We commandeered
an unmanned and docked airship.
**[12:00] ---**
It was Boruto's idea.
**[12:02] ---**
I can't help but acknowledge
your quick thinking!
**[12:06] ---**
How I smell doesn't matter
this high up in the air, right?
**[12:09] ---**
Plus, we can search for
the culprits,
**[12:11] ---**
so we're killing two birds
with one stone!
**[12:21] ---**
If we can continue like this,
we'll be out the village soon.
**[12:24] ---**
The question is…
**[12:25] ---**
Which direction did the guys who
made off with the Hashirama Cell go?
**[12:29] ---**
I'm sure they haven't gotten that far.
**[12:31] ---**
We'll find them if we search for them
from this airship, ya know!
**[12:34] ---**
I guess we have no choice,
since we have no other leads.
**[12:40] ---**
What was that?!
**[12:44] ---**
There's smoke coming from
the propeller on the left!
**[12:46] ---**
It's them!
**[12:51] ---**
What's that?!
**[12:56] ---**
Shoot it down!
**[13:08] ---**
Can you pull up more?!
**[13:09] ---**
I can't! The fuselage's caught on fire!
***SIGN*** RUDDER
**[13:12] ---**
It's gonna explode soon!
**[13:17] ---**
Don't let 'em get away!
**[13:22] ---**
I can't hold it any longer!
**[13:23] ---**
Just a little bit more!
**[13:24] ---**
We're almost out of the village!
**[13:51] ---**
Is everyone all right?
**[13:54] ---**
We're still in one piece
somehow, ya know?
**[13:56] ---**
It would have been great to at least
get out of the village, but…
**[14:00] ---**
Doesn't seem like that's happening.
**[14:24] ---**
Is fighting our only option left?
**[14:26] ---**
But this many people–!
**[14:28] ---**
Hey, you guys!
**[14:30] ---**
Over here!
**[14:34] ---**
Who're you?
**[14:38] ---**
You're that brat from
the black market!
**[14:42] ---**
Who cares about that, just hurry!
**[14:56] ---**
I didn't know there was a passageway
like this under the village!
**[14:59] ---**
It's probably an abandoned
sewer system.
**[15:02] ---**
You can rest easy now.
**[15:04] ---**
The grown-ups don't know
nothin' about this place.
**[15:06] ---**
Why are you helping us?
**[15:10] ---**
It's cuz' I owe you guys…big time.
**[15:12] ---**
You owe us?
**[15:14] ---**
Ask your friend for the details.
**[15:17] ---**
Friend?
**[15:22] ---**
We're here. This is the place.
**[15:28] ---**
Hey there.
**[15:29] ---**
Mitsuki!
**[15:30] ---**
How—?!
**[15:32] ---**
You're all better now?!
**[15:34] ---**
Yeah, I'm fine now.
**[15:36] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[15:37] ---**
We were so worried!
**[15:39] ---**
But why are you here?
**[15:41] ---**
I rushed over as soon as
I was able to.
**[15:45] ---**
With her.
**[15:48] ---**
You were the girl at the hospital!
**[15:51] ---**
You both got better!
**[15:53] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[15:55] ---**
I told my big brother that
he risked his life to save mine!
**[15:59] ---**
Kona is my kid sister.
**[16:02] ---**
Thank you for protecting her.
**[16:06] ---**
The person who left her at
Miss Yubina's hospital was…
**[16:11] ---**
Me!
**[16:12] ---**
I had no choice…
I couldn't pay for her treatment.
**[16:15] ---**
You all saved her life.
**[16:17] ---**
So that's the connection.
**[16:20] ---**
What goes around comes around.
**[16:21] ---**
Hey, the good you do for others is
good you do yourself, indeed.
**[16:25] ---**
Hmm?
**[16:28] ---**
You smell strange, Boruto.
**[16:32] ---**
A lot of things happened. A lot…
**[16:37] ---**
Let's take stock of our situation.
**[16:38] ---**
The ones who tricked us and
escaped with the Hashirama Cell
**[16:42] ---**
were those lookalike shinobi, right?
**[16:44] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:45] ---**
I remember seeing those earrings.
**[16:52] ---**
When we met Kirisaki at the pub,
they were there in disguise.
**[16:56] ---**
So, we were being watched since then?
**[16:59] ---**
Probably.
**[17:01] ---**
They used some method to
get past the tight security
**[17:04] ---**
got one step ahead of us and…
**[17:06] ---**
…killed the mistress of the castle
**[17:08] ---**
and stole the Hashirama Cell.
**[17:11] ---**
We don't even know
what village they're from, right?
**[17:15] ---**
This is just about
the only lead we have.
**[17:24] ---**
It could come in handy
in pursuing the culprits.
**[17:27] ---**
But guys, while we're here doing this,
**[17:29] ---**
couldn't they be leaving
the Land of Silence?
**[17:31] ---**
About that, Miss Yubina told me that
the Hashirama Cell is unstable,
**[17:35] ---**
and when it's wobbled around,
**[17:37] ---**
there's a high risk of it
going out of control.
**[17:40] ---**
So, you can't rush around
while handling it?
**[17:43] ---**
I see.
**[17:44] ---**
So that's why they went through all
the trouble
**[17:47] ---**
to make us into decoys.
To buy time.
**[17:50] ---**
But aren't there several routes
to the border?
**[17:53] ---**
Unless we know which way
they're escaping…
**[17:56] ---**
…finding them is gonna be difficult, huh?
**[17:59] ---**
I think we can be of help there.
**[18:03] ---**
How?!
**[18:06] ---**
Just watch.
**[18:10] ---**
This is Katara.
**[18:11] ---**
Can you hear me? Over!
**[18:16] ---**
*Loud and clear, over!*
**[18:18] ---**
Amazing!
**[18:19] ---**
You're linked up far
with just a pipe?!
**[18:22] ---**
*Loud and clear here too, over!*
**[18:25] ---**
*Captain Katara!*
*We're good to go, anytime! Over!*
**[18:29] ---**
And there's so many!
**[18:32] ---**
There's another nation that
spreads out underground
**[18:34] ---**
that belongs only to us!
**[18:37] ---**
Listen up, this is a mission.
**[18:39] ---**
Get me intel on some suspicious
lookalikes wearing earrings.
**[18:43] ---**
They should be headed
out of the village.
**[18:46] ---**
– *Roger!*
– *Roger!*
**[18:48] ---**
Huh…
**[18:50] ---**
Wait and see.
**[18:51] ---**
They'll be super easy to find.
**[18:55] ---**
*Sighting report!*
**[18:56] ---**
*There are witnesses who saw*
*a trio wearing earrings.*
**[18:59] ---**
There, you see?
**[19:00] ---**
*They were on a domestic path,*
*most likely headed toward the border.*
**[19:04] ---**
All right!
**[19:05] ---**
This is very impressive!
**[19:07] ---**
Furthermore, if we use
an underground passageway,
**[19:10] ---**
we can pursue them
using the shortest route.
**[19:12] ---**
That's how we got here too.
**[19:14] ---**
Yeah, we have exits scattered all over.
**[19:17] ---**
We can't thank you enough.
**[19:20] ---**
Yeah, thanks!
**[19:22] ---**
Seriously, stop it!
**[19:24] ---**
This is the least I can do
**[19:26] ---**
to pay back the debt my sister
and I owe you.
**[19:28] ---**
Let's hurry! I'll guide you right up
to the edge of the border!
**[19:32] ---**
Be careful, Big Sister and Brothers!
**[19:50] ---**
This tastes just like sand.
**[20:03] ---**
I came all this way to the sticks…
**[20:07] ---**
I think I deserve to have
a little more fun.
**[20:12] ---**
Thank you for the meal!
**[20:28] ---**
This is where we say goodbye, Katara.
**[20:31] ---**
We're indebted to you.
**[20:32] ---**
Yeah!
Do your best! Don't die!
**[20:38] ---**
They're such strong-willed kids!
**[20:40] ---**
Yeah!
**[20:41] ---**
Now, it's our turn to pursue them.
**[20:44] ---**
We don't have a moment to waste.
**[20:47] ---**
We'll split up to track the guys
who stole the Hashirama Cell.
**[20:51] ---**
You three will track them together!
**[20:53] ---**
Call for back-up as soon as
you find a lead.
**[20:56] ---**
I'm going to say this again,
but do not engage them by yourselves.
**[20:58] ---**
Yes, we know!
**[21:00] ---**
Just watch!
**[21:02] ---**
I'll catch up to them!
**[21:04] ---**
Let's go, Mugino!
**[21:06] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:07] ---**
Let's find them, Boruto, Mitsuki!
**[21:10] ---**
– Yeah!
– Right!
**[21:16] ---**
Tracking…tracking…
**[21:18] ---**
Anyway, after making it this far,
**[21:20] ---**
looks like we don't have to worry
about guys coming after us.
**[21:22] ---**
Don't let down your guard!
**[21:24] ---**
There are shinobi from other lands
**[21:25] ---**
trying to get their hands on
the Hashirama Cell too.
**[21:27] ---**
I know that!
**[21:36] ---**
Boruto! Sarada!
**[21:43] ---**
Lightning Style?
**[21:44] ---**
What was that, all of a sudden?!
**[21:50] ---**
Who are they?
**[23:27] ---**
Even though we don't have
the Hashirama Cell,
**[23:29] ---**
people just keep coming after us!
Who are they?!
**[23:31] ---**
I don't know.
**[23:32] ---**
But it's clear that they're pursuing us.
**[23:35] ---**
Damn it! The way things are going—!
**[23:36] ---**
We have to defeat them,
or we won't be able to proceed.
**[23:39] ---**
Boruto! What should we do?
**[23:41] ---**
