Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[00:22] ---**
It's no good. This won't cut it.
**[00:24] ---**
I need something much
more powerful, or else—!
**[00:29] ---**
Boruto, I think that's your limit.
**[00:32] ---**
What?!
**[00:33] ---**
Judging from the amount of chakra you have,
**[00:35] ---**
to intensify it more,
unless you move mountains
**[00:39] ---**
it's gonna be impossible.
**[00:40] ---**
You keep telling me it's impossible…
**[00:42] ---**
But you know that I can't give up!
**[00:47] ---**
Wind Style: Rasengan!

**[02:43] ---**
We have a patient
in critical condition.
**[02:45] ---**
We're transporting him to the specialized
underground treatment room.
**[02:51] ---**
This is very suspicious.
**[02:53] ---**
That's the fifth one this week that's been
**[02:55] ---**
taken to the special treatment room.
**[02:59] ---**
And number of patients
brought back…is zero.
**[03:04] ---**
You're not authorized to go
beyond this point.
**[03:06] ---**
Please continue analyzing
that earlier data.
**[03:09] ---**
– Yes!
– Yes!
**[03:27] ---**
Hurry, don't lag!
**[03:33] ---**
That guy!
**[03:34] ---**
Do you know him?
**[03:36] ---**
I'm sure he was there
**[03:38] ---**
during the coup d'état attempt
in the Land of Earth.
**[03:43] ---**
What's he doing here?
**[03:51] ---**
If this experiment is successful,
**[03:53] ---**
my standing will probably
improve greatly.
**[03:56] ---**
Have you heard anything?
**[03:59] ---**
Doctor, we Outers must focus only
on the orders we are given.
**[04:05] ---**
You're so boring!
**[04:20] ---**
Damn it!
**[04:21] ---**
We've searched every inch of this place
except beyond this elevator.
**[04:26] ---**
The most likely place the
Hashirama Cell would be
**[04:28] ---**
is in the underground area
accessed by this elevator.
**[04:31] ---**
The question is how to get there.
**[04:39] ---**
Hey!
**[04:41] ---**
Shikadai.
**[04:43] ---**
Looks like you're training hard.
**[04:46] ---**
Well, yeah…kinda.
**[04:48] ---**
That being said, just don't overdo it.
**[04:54] ---**
If I don't, I won't be able to
perfect this jutsu.
**[04:58] ---**
What does that mean?
**[05:01] ---**
Back then, my Rasengan got
shut down, just like that.
**[05:13] ---**
That's why it's still not enough
at the level it's at right now.
**[05:16] ---**
But…
**[05:19] ---**
Kakashi Sensei told me…
**[05:21] ---**
that I've reached my limit.
**[05:26] ---**
He said that unless
I move mountains,
**[05:28] ---**
it's not gonna get any more powerful,
**[05:30] ---**
considering the amount of chakra that I have.
**[05:33] ---**
I see.
**[05:35] ---**
So, what are you going to do?
**[05:36] ---**
I just have to give it everything I've got.
**[05:38] ---**
So, you're just gonna keep at it, huh?
**[05:41] ---**
Yeah!
**[05:51] ---**
I wonder how Sarada's doing?
**[06:08] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[06:16] ---**
I'm okay, Dad.
**[06:18] ---**
One more time!
**[06:27] ---**
Sarada…
***SIGN*** FIRE
**[06:33] ---**
A mission to recover a puppet?
**[06:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:36] ---**
It's a request from
the Land of Wind.
**[06:38] ---**
They're been searching for it ever
since the battle with Urashiki.
**[06:42] ---**
There's still one missing.
**[06:44] ---**
The one they haven't found is
the puppet that you fought.
**[07:01] ---**
Please help them.
**[07:03] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[07:05] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[07:22] ---**
Hey, so they were still out
searching for puppets?
**[07:25] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:26] ---**
The Hidden Sand had been independently
continuing the recovery…
**[07:29] ---**
But there's just one that
they haven't been able to find.
**[07:32] ---**
If someone stole the one that's missing,
that's bad news, right?
**[07:36] ---**
Yeah, they might use it
for something bad.
**[07:39] ---**
Also, this matter with Urashiki
is top secret,
**[07:42] ---**
so only the Sand and Leaf
will be investigating.
**[07:46] ---**
A top-secret mission!
This is so cool!
**[07:50] ---**
But basically, we're just looking
for a broken doll.
**[07:53] ---**
We're rendezvousing with
Sand shinobi tomorrow morning.
**[07:57] ---**
Which means today's just a travel day
to the Land of Wind?
**[08:00] ---**
It's a recovery mission,
but we don't know what that entails.
**[08:03] ---**
That's why we're going a day early.
**[08:06] ---**
This isn't a vacation,
so don't get too excited.
**[08:11] ---**
Anyway, Boruto and Sarada
are training really hard, huh?
**[08:16] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:18] ---**
I don't know all the details,
but apparently
**[08:20] ---**
the guy they fought last time
must've been awfully strong.
**[08:24] ---**
I mean, look at how determined Boruto is.
**[08:27] ---**
Sarada seemed intensely focused too.
**[08:29] ---**
Well, they probably have their own set
of motives and feelings driving them.
**[08:33] ---**
More importantly, be honest…
**[08:35] ---**
How do you think
Boruto's training is going?
**[08:38] ---**
It's not going that well.
**[08:40] ---**
Sarada looked like she was
having a hard time too.
**[08:44] ---**
And there's nothing we can do.
**[08:48] ---**
That's for sure.
**[08:51] ---**
Hey c'mon!
**[08:52] ---**
We shouldn't be all gloomy
before a mission.
**[08:55] ---**
I have just the solution to
change up this mood.
**[08:59] ---**
What is it?
**[09:04] ---**
You see, there's a place
that I've wanted to go to.
**[09:07] ---**
Since we rarely get the chance
to go to the Land of Wind…
**[09:10] ---**
It's a shop we just have to visit! Right?
**[09:34] ---**
Remember me saying
that this isn't a vacation,
**[09:37] ---**
so don't get too excited?
**[09:39] ---**
Were you even listening?
**[09:41] ---**
It's probably a sweets shop, right?
**[09:44] ---**
Let's just go along with it.
**[09:45] ---**
We'll go in, get a quick bite, and go.
**[09:48] ---**
If you say so, Shikadai.
**[09:50] ---**
Then it's decided!
**[09:53] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[09:57] ---**
This is it!
**[09:59] ---**
– Okay…
– Okay…
**[10:01] ---**
Dad stumbled onto this place on
his way home from a mission.
**[10:04] ---**
He said the portions are huge,
and that it's super good!
***SIGN*** KATSU EGG ON RICE TSUKIMI RICE BOWL HEARTY SAUCE-KATSU BOWL GREEN ONION SALT RICE BOWL
**[10:10] ---**
I've been wanting to try their Super
Special Pork Stamina Bowl!
***SIGN*** ONLY 10 ORDERS PER DAY NOT YOUR ORDINARY CALORIE BOMB! SUPER SPECIAL PORK STAMINA BOWL
**[10:20] ---**
I don't think this is the kinda place
we can just get a quick bite and go.
**[10:24] ---**
If we eat something like that
the day before a mission,
**[10:27] ---**
we'll probably be so slow tomorrow.
**[10:31] ---**
I don't think we'll be able
to digest it completely.
**[11:27] ---**
You think it was that guy earlier?
***SIGN*** WIND
**[11:51] ---**
Damn it, what are they doing?!
**[11:53] ---**
I know!
**[12:00] ---**
You're late!
**[12:03] ---**
Sorry.
**[12:04] ---**
We stumbled onto
a terrible incident yesterday.
**[12:07] ---**
We got delayed because
we were making a report.
**[12:09] ---**
Damn it!
**[12:11] ---**
They grilled us over every detail like
we were the suspects!
**[12:14] ---**
And I didn't get to eat the Super Special
Stamina Pork Bowl!
**[12:17] ---**
It was the worst!
**[12:18] ---**
Never mind the excuses.
**[12:20] ---**
We're only wasting time.
**[12:24] ---**
Long time no see.
**[12:26] ---**
Yeah, it has.
**[12:29] ---**
This one's a joint search mission.
Let's work hard together.
**[12:32] ---**
Sorry to dive in, but…
**[12:34] ---**
Shikadai, are you taking the lead?
**[12:37] ---**
Got a problem with that?
**[12:39] ---**
Do you know why we were assigned
this mission?
**[12:42] ---**
Shikadai was the last one
**[12:44] ---**
who fought the puppet that
we're recovering.
**[12:45] ---**
And let me remind you, that
**[12:47] ---**
Shikadai is the only chunin among us.
**[12:50] ---**
We're aware of that.
**[12:52] ---**
But this is the Land of Wind.
**[12:55] ---**
Shinki has a huge geographical
advantage over him, right?
**[13:00] ---**
What a drag.
**[13:02] ---**
Then I don't mind if
you take the lead, Shinki.
**[13:06] ---**
No, I just wanted to confirm.
**[13:09] ---**
So, you're okay with Shikadai
taking the lead?
**[13:12] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:13] ---**
If Shinki's okay with that, then fine.
**[13:16] ---**
Sure!
**[13:18] ---**
First, let's go over the mission situation
report up to now,
**[13:20] ---**
and verify our search range.
**[13:23] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:35] ---**
*As always…*
*such a handsome profile!*
**[13:53] ---**
I took down the puppet
somewhere around here.
**[13:57] ---**
Excuse me,
but this is a super big area!
**[13:59] ---**
How should we search?
**[14:01] ---**
This is where Araya's puppet comes in.
**[14:04] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[14:44] ---**
I found something!
**[14:55] ---**
No doubt, that's the one.
**[14:57] ---**
It's the one I took down.
**[14:59] ---**
I see.
**[15:01] ---**
I guess our mission's accomplished!
**[15:04] ---**
Looks like it.
**[15:14] ---**
You're the one from yesterday!
**[15:17] ---**
You know him?
**[15:18] ---**
No, but…
**[15:21] ---**
He was at the crime scene yesterday.
**[15:31] ---**
Have we met somewhere before?
**[15:41] ---**
Oh!
**[15:42] ---**
You're Hidden Leaf shinobi
as well, huh?
**[15:44] ---**
Seems like it's destiny that I have
such a connection with you all.
**[15:49] ---**
Why, just recently I beat up
some Leaf shinobi
**[15:52] ---**
and made them run home crying.
**[15:56] ---**
By any chance,
**[15:57] ---**
are you the one who did that to Boruto
and the others?
**[16:01] ---**
Oh, who cares about that?
**[16:03] ---**
Just hand over that puppet quick.
**[16:07] ---**
And if we refuse?!
**[16:08] ---**
You don't have a choice!
**[16:20] ---**
Oh!
**[16:21] ---**
I see you have something
very interesting.
**[16:23] ---**
However—!
**[16:39] ---**
The wall isn't going to
stay up much longer.
**[16:41] ---**
We can't just rely on defense.
**[16:44] ---**
Whatever happened to
your Iron Sand wall
**[16:46] ---**
being your complete defense?
**[16:48] ---**
Speak for yourself!
**[16:49] ---**
So much for your reputation as
the Leaf's tactician.
**[16:51] ---**
Do you have a strategy for this?
**[16:53] ---**
How long can we keep this up?
**[16:55] ---**
Not too long!
**[17:14] ---**
Araya! Yodo!
**[17:19] ---**
How dare you!
**[17:22] ---**
Those bullets are harder
than expected.
**[17:25] ---**
And there are so many of them!
**[17:27] ---**
As it is now,
we can't even get close to him.
**[17:30] ---**
What do we do?
**[17:32] ---**
Sorry, but can you buy just
a little more time?
**[17:36] ---**
It's only gonna be a little bit longer.
**[17:43] ---**
Okay, Inojin! Cho-Cho!
**[17:47] ---**
I'm gonna wrap this up soon.
**[17:50] ---**
You ready?
**[17:51] ---**
– Yeah!
– 'Course!
**[17:52] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[17:53] ---**
Leave it to us!
**[18:00] ---**
What a pointless thing to do!
**[18:01] ---**
It's your fault I couldn't eat
the Super Special Stamina Pork Bowl!
**[18:06] ---**
I'm not letting you get away with that!
**[18:07] ---**
Human Boulder!
**[18:09] ---**
Oh?!
**[18:21] ---**
Over here!
**[18:23] ---**
Stay still!
**[18:27] ---**
Cho-Cho, your turn!
**[18:28] ---**
Okay!
**[18:31] ---**
Take this!
**[18:33] ---**
Roll, roll, roll, roll…
**[18:34] ---**
– All right! Now!
**[18:34] ---**
– roll, roll, roll, roll…
**[18:35] ---**
roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!
**[18:38] ---**
You're in my way!
**[18:45] ---**
Shinki, now!
**[18:46] ---**
Black Iron Fist!
**[18:56] ---**
What?!
**[19:31] ---**
How useful can something
like this be?
**[19:34] ---**
*Go and recover that thing!*
**[19:37] ---**
*And try not to cause too much chaos…*
**[19:40] ---**
*We can't afford to have*
*anyone else find out.*
**[20:10] ---**
I won't let you take it!
**[20:47] ---**
He's not gonna kill us?
**[20:54] ---**
Was he the one…
**[20:55] ---**
Boruto and the others couldn't handle?
***SIGN*** FIRE
**[21:10] ---**
Are you sure that he's the one
that Boruto and Sarada fought?
**[21:14] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:15] ---**
His attack was the same
as what Boruto told me.
**[21:19] ---**
As well as the description that
his body is as hard as a diamond.
**[21:25] ---**
And it's certain that he was
after the puppet?
**[21:28] ---**
Yes.
**[21:29] ---**
Who the hell are they?
**[21:39] ---**
Wind Style Rasengan!
**[23:26] ---**
Hey, you're not trying to
strengthen your Rasengan
**[23:28] ---**
just so you can go up against
Deepa again, are you?
**[23:31] ---**
No. That's not it.
**[23:32] ---**
I have to get strong enough
to surpass him,
**[23:34] ---**
or else I won't be able to progress
from this point onward.
**[23:37] ---**
Okay. I get it.
**[23:39] ---**
If that's the case, I'll help you train.
**[23:43] ---**
