**[00:14] ---**
Hey, we brought you
a little something.
**[00:19] ---**
If you're not gonna wake up,
I'm gonna eat it all.
**[00:27] ---**
He's not even waking up for
his favorite Thunder Burger, huh?
**[00:30] ---**
This must be really serious.
**[00:31] ---**
I don't think it can be helped.
He seemed totally exhausted.
**[00:35] ---**
He's been hospitalized
over and over again,
**[00:37] ---**
but he never learns.
**[00:39] ---**
Too bad, guess I'll just eat this.
**[00:41] ---**
Iwabe, we brought that for Boruto!
**[00:45] ---**
What happened that put him
in this state?
**[00:48] ---**
Seems he came up with a new,
powerful jutsu and tried to test it.
**[00:53] ---**
A powerful jutsu?
**[00:56] ---**
Yeah.
**[00:57] ---**
With it, he knocked out
Shojoji the bandit
**[00:59] ---**
who even gave jonin-level shinobi
a hard time, in one hit.
**[01:02] ---**
No kidding!
**[01:04] ---**
I heard Sarada has also been getting
specialized training from Mr. Sasuke.
**[01:09] ---**
We've got to do our best too!
**[01:11] ---**
Yeah, we can't lose to Team 7!
**[01:15] ---**
Speaking of Team 7,
what happened to Mitsuki?
**[01:19] ---**
He was taken back to
his parent's house
**[01:22] ---**
so he could get treatment
for his injuries.
**[01:24] ---**
It's worrying because
we don't know how he's doing.
**[01:28] ---**
Isn't Mitsuki's parent–?
**[01:30] ---**
Stop!
**[01:40] ---**
What is this?!
**[01:43] ---**
Ninja Art: Ketchup Bomb Jutsu!

**[03:19] ---**
You're covered
in ketchup!
**[03:21] ---**
Hey, you brat!
**[03:23] ---**
Calm down, Iwabe!
**[03:25] ---**
He's just a kid!
**[03:27] ---**
Where are you, Nattou?!
**[03:31] ---**
I'm so sorry!
**[03:33] ---**
Nattou did that, didn't he?
**[03:35] ---**
What's up with that kid?
**[03:38] ---**
He's a patient here,
but he just won't listen.
**[03:43] ---**
Anyway, I have to go!
**[03:47] ---**
Of all the luck, huh, Iwabe?
**[03:49] ---**
If I see that brat again, I'll–!
**[03:52] ---**
I gave 'em the slip easily.
**[03:55] ---**
Wonder which jutsu
I should use next—?
**[03:57] ---**
You're gonna be sorry.
**[04:01] ---**
As punishment,
no snacks for you today!
**[04:05] ---**
Then next time,
I'll sneak into the kitchen!
**[04:08] ---**
So, your name's Nattou?
**[04:10] ---**
Why do you keep pulling pranks?
**[04:13] ---**
Shut up! I don't do stupid stuff
like "pull pranks."
**[04:16] ---**
If it's not that, what is it?
**[04:18] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
**[04:20] ---**
I'm training to become a shinobi.
**[04:21] ---**
I'm gonna be an awesome shinobi one day!
**[04:25] ---**
You guys look like
you're shinobi too, right?
**[04:28] ---**
How kind of you to notice!
**[04:30] ---**
But you don't seem like
you're that good.
**[04:33] ---**
Shouldn't you be trying harder?
**[04:36] ---**
Why you—!
**[04:38] ---**
You‘re pretty blunt!
**[04:41] ---**
It's true, we're just genin right now.
**[04:44] ---**
But we're going to work hard and
**[04:47] ---**
become the kind of shinobi
you're aiming to be.
**[04:50] ---**
That sounds cool,
but when it gets down to it,
**[04:52] ---**
but you're probably gonna
be super scared.
**[04:54] ---**
Huh?!
**[04:55] ---**
We won't get scared,
no matter what happens!
**[04:59] ---**
Okay, then take
the rarest Card that I own
**[05:02] ---**
and get it autographed for me.
**[05:04] ---**
That should be easy, right?
**[05:06] ---**
We're not your gophers!
**[05:07] ---**
Now, now!
**[05:08] ---**
He is giving us a request!
Let us hear him out!
***SIGN*** EXTREME
**[05:16] ---**
I want this person's autograph!
**[05:18] ---**
Well, if it's just an autograph,
we can get anyone…
***SIGN*** EXTREME
**[05:24] ---**
This is–!
**[05:28] ---**
– Orochimaru?!
– Orochimaru?!
**[05:31] ---**
Oh, what? Weren't you saying
if it's just an autograph,
**[05:34] ---**
you can get anyone's?
**[05:39] ---**
O-Of all the people, it's–!
**[05:43] ---**
Oh hey, that's right!
**[05:45] ---**
I remembered we have an urgent mission.
**[05:46] ---**
Sorry, but let's talk about
the autograph another time.
**[05:48] ---**
Man, I shouldn't have bothered asking.
**[05:52] ---**
Damn it.
**[05:53] ---**
Let's go, Metal and Denki.
**[05:56] ---**
I already knew that
**[05:57] ---**
there are things even grown-ups
are too scared to do.
**[06:03] ---**
Excuse me, I'm so sorry that
Nattou caused you trouble.
**[06:07] ---**
The brat's got a twisted attitude.
**[06:10] ---**
C'mon, Iwabe!
**[06:13] ---**
Please forgive him.
**[06:14] ---**
This is a very anxious time
for him right now.
**[06:18] ---**
What do you mean?
**[06:20] ---**
He's undergoing a very complicated surgery
the day after tomorrow.
**[06:24] ---**
He still hasn't come
to terms with it,
**[06:26] ---**
and he keeps saying
he doesn't want the surgery.
**[06:37] ---**
"We're gonna go get
the autograph, after all"?!
**[06:39] ---**
Do you realize what
you're saying, Iwabe?!
**[06:41] ---**
It's Orochimaru!
**[06:43] ---**
Iwabe, since you always fell asleep
during class at the Academy…
**[06:47] ---**
Could it be that you do not know
who Orochimaru is?!
**[06:49] ---**
Hey, quit making fun of me!
**[06:51] ---**
Even I know who Orochimaru is!
**[06:55] ---**
He's the shinobi who conducted
**[06:57] ---**
dangerous human experiments
and forbidden research,
**[06:58] ---**
and got kicked out of
the village long ago, right?
**[07:00] ---**
Not only that!
**[07:02] ---**
After he was banished,
**[07:03] ---**
Orochimaru attacked the Hidden Leaf Village
and tried to destroy it!
**[07:09] ---**
During that incident, he murdered
the Kazekage at the time
**[07:13] ---**
as well as Lord Hiruzen,
the Third Hokage!
**[07:15] ---**
He is definitely a shinobi
that we cannot take on!!
**[07:19] ---**
I know all of that!
**[07:21] ---**
Isn't going to see a shinobi like that
the same as asking to get killed?
**[07:26] ---**
It's not like we're gonna fight him.
**[07:28] ---**
We're just going to get his autograph.
**[07:30] ---**
Even so!
**[07:32] ---**
He is a terrifying shinobi who killed
the Kazekage and Hokage!
**[07:37] ---**
I'm not asking you guys
to come with me.
**[07:39] ---**
I'll go by myself.
**[07:41] ---**
Iwabe!
**[07:43] ---**
Damn it, I can't let you go alone.
**[07:47] ---**
You–!
**[07:48] ---**
I-If you two are, then–!
**[07:51] ---**
One for all, all for one!
**[07:53] ---**
Also, when we go, we can find out
how Mitsuki is doing!
**[07:57] ---**
Thanks, you guys.
**[07:59] ---**
Thunder Burgers are on me, next time.
**[08:02] ---**
Okay, now that we've decided, let's go.
**[08:05] ---**
So, where do we find Orochimaru?
**[08:09] ---**
It's top secret.
**[08:10] ---**
What do you mean?
**[08:12] ---**
Due to his past deeds,
**[08:14] ---**
anyone with a grudge could go out
looking for him for revenge.
***SIGN*** FIRE
**[08:17] ---**
In order to prevent any trouble,
**[08:19] ---**
where he lives is
a closely guarded secret.
**[08:22] ---**
But the top-secret data should be housed
in the Hokage's Offices!
**[08:30] ---**
Let us hurry!
**[08:31] ---**
Someone might come at any minute!
**[08:33] ---**
There's nothing about
Orochimaru in the hard copies!
***SIGN*** TOP-SECRET FILE
**[08:37] ---**
It's up to you, Denki!
**[08:39] ---**
Just a sec.
**[08:42] ---**
I knew it! The keyboard entry log
was left intact!
**[08:46] ---**
They didn't erase it properly.
**[08:48] ---**
I can't believe
how lax the higher-ups are!
**[08:51] ---**
If I parse through this,
**[08:52] ---**
I'll find the password to get
into the secret files!
**[08:55] ---**
I have never seen you look
this evil before, ever…
**[08:58] ---**
Found it! Orochimaru's file!
**[09:04] ---**
Even his photo's scary.
**[09:07] ---**
Anyway, where does he live–?
**[09:08] ---**
P-Please wait!
**[09:10] ---**
Look at this part under
his criminal record!
**[09:12] ---**
Huh? We don't have time for–!
**[09:14] ---**
He did that…and this?!
**[09:16] ---**
No way! Orochimaru was behind
that incident too?!
**[09:20] ---**
No matter how you look at it, it's terrible!
**[09:22] ---**
Does he even have feelings?
**[09:25] ---**
W-What do we do?!
**[09:27] ---**
Th-This makes it even more fun…
**[09:29] ---**
I'm getting revved up…
**[09:42] ---**
We actually did it, didn't we?
**[09:44] ---**
You guys… get ready.
**[09:47] ---**
Don't panic!
**[09:48] ---**
Speak for yourself!
You're scared too!
**[09:50] ---**
W-What did you say?!
**[09:57] ---**
Who are you?
**[09:59] ---**
A Leaf shinobi?
**[10:01] ---**
I'm keeping Orochimaru
under surveillance.
**[10:04] ---**
Mr. Yamato has gone to make
a report to the Hokage.
**[10:07] ---**
So, I've taken over command here.
**[10:09] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[10:13] ---**
We have a request to make of Orochimaru.
**[10:16] ---**
What do you mean?
**[10:18] ---**
Well, we want to get his autograph.
**[10:21] ---**
Orochimaru's autograph?!
**[10:23] ---**
What are you saying?!
Is this some kind of joke?!
**[10:26] ---**
No, it isn't!
A person's life depends on it!
**[10:32] ---**
Right now, the relationship between
the Leaf and Orochimaru is stable.
**[10:36] ---**
Our mission is to just keep
Orochimaru under observation.
**[10:39] ---**
So, I won't stop you from seeing him.
**[10:41] ---**
However…
**[10:43] ---**
Just because he's calmed down,
**[10:44] ---**
doesn't change the fact that
Orochimaru is a cruel shinobi.
**[10:48] ---**
Among all the shinobi on
the surveillance team,
**[10:50] ---**
no one except Mr. Yamato, can keep
from growing pale at that guy's bloodlust.
**[10:54] ---**
Sorry, but there's a tacit understanding
that we will not interfere,
**[10:57] ---**
no matter what happens
inside that hideout.
**[10:59] ---**
Because we value our lives!
**[11:14] ---**
So far, there is nothing
out of the ordinary.
**[11:18] ---**
Man, what a disappointment.
**[11:20] ---**
I was expecting something
more threatening!
**[11:29] ---**
Th-That's more like it,
this is gonna be fun!
**[11:32] ---**
C'mon, quit being scared. Let's go!
**[11:34] ---**
Hey, Iwabe!
**[11:45] ---**
This room gives me the creeps!
**[11:48] ---**
Seeing all this, I guess those stories
**[11:50] ---**
about his previous
human experiments were true.
**[11:54] ---**
Anyway, can we please
move on quickly?
**[12:00] ---**
Is that a human?
**[12:10] ---**
Iwabe!
**[12:12] ---**
Who are you?
**[12:14] ---**
Are you guys Leaf shinobi?
**[12:16] ---**
S-So, what if we are?
**[12:18] ---**
Damn it, Yamato!
I wish he wouldn't just let everybody in!
**[12:22] ---**
I end up having more work to do!
**[12:24] ---**
W-We came to see Mr. Orochimaru!
**[12:28] ---**
Well, he doesn't have time
for that right now.
**[12:31] ---**
He's busy, so just hurry on home.
**[12:34] ---**
We can't do that!
**[12:36] ---**
So, take us to Orochimaru!
**[12:39] ---**
I'm irritated right now because
you interrupted my nice nap.
**[12:44] ---**
If you insist, I'm gonna
show you what pain is.
**[12:51] ---**
What a pain!
**[12:53] ---**
Then how about this?!
**[12:58] ---**
His body turned to water?!
**[12:59] ---**
That was a direct attack,
yet it had no effect at all!
**[13:03] ---**
Do you get it now?
**[13:04] ---**
I'm not the kind of person that
nobodies like you can handle.
**[13:08] ---**
What did you say?
**[13:10] ---**
He's right. Our difference
in strength is very obvious.
**[13:13] ---**
So, we're supposed to
run back home?!
**[13:15] ---**
No. If we can't beat him with
a straightforward attack,
**[13:17] ---**
we have to use our brains.
**[13:19] ---**
Our brains?
**[13:24] ---**
Damn it!
**[13:26] ---**
You broke the machine for
the experiments!
**[13:28] ---**
And I'm the one
he's gonna get mad at!!
**[13:32] ---**
I see… I got it!
**[13:35] ---**
Sorry, but…
**[13:36] ---**
I don't have time to waste on you.
**[13:39] ---**
Let's do this! Formation Z!
**[13:41] ---**
Huh?
**[13:44] ---**
What a pain!
**[13:47] ---**
Iwabe!
**[13:50] ---**
Damn it!
**[13:53] ---**
Now, just go to sleep nicely.
**[13:56] ---**
*Got him!*
**[14:06] ---**
He's taking on some damage!
**[14:08] ---**
I knew it!
**[14:10] ---**
The fact that his body can liquefy means
**[14:12] ---**
that it's that much more conductive.
**[14:14] ---**
So, he can't tolerate electric shocks well.
**[14:16] ---**
Meaning, his weakness is electricity!
**[14:19] ---**
He won't be able to move for a while.
**[14:22] ---**
Thinking back, he wasn't that
much of an opponent—!
**[14:26] ---**
I felt that one, just a little.
**[14:28] ---**
But we electrocuted you!
**[14:31] ---**
True, I'm weak against electric shocks.
**[14:33] ---**
But at that level, come on!
**[14:35] ---**
Th-That's–!
**[14:37] ---**
But it hurt all the same.
**[14:40] ---**
As punishment,
I'm gonna break 2 or 3 bones.
**[14:45] ---**
– Denki!
– Denki!
**[14:49] ---**
Enough.
**[14:51] ---**
You'll get the room dirty!
**[14:58] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[15:00] ---**
Y-You're–!
**[15:04] ---**
To think you'd come all the way here
with just that level of strength.
**[15:07] ---**
At least your courage is
quite impressive.
**[15:11] ---**
So, what do you want with me?
**[15:15] ---**
Uh, well… Metal?
**[15:17] ---**
Huh?! D-Denki!
**[15:20] ---**
Why me?!
**[15:21] ---**
You came all this way
to seek me out.
**[15:24] ---**
It must be very important, right?
**[15:30] ---**
Do tell…
**[15:35] ---**
A-A-A…
**[15:38] ---**
"A"?
**[15:41] ---**
Please, can we have your autograph?!
**[15:43] ---**
Huh?
**[15:45] ---**
Huh?
***SIGN*** OROCHIMARU
**[15:50] ---**
An autograph?!
**[15:56] ---**
What foolish children.
**[15:58] ---**
Fine. Give it to me.
***SIGN*** OROCHIMARU
**[16:07] ---**
L-Looks like we are okay somehow!
***SIGN*** OROCHIMARU
**[16:15] ---**
What's this?!
**[16:17] ---**
It seems like they're really
looking down on me…
**[16:21] ---**
I-I'll make sure to let
my father know about this very firmly
**[16:23] ---**
when I get home!
**[16:39] ---**
– Thank you very much!
– Thank you very much!
**[16:42] ---**
Excuse me!
**[16:45] ---**
Is Mitsuki all right?
**[16:49] ---**
He's undergoing critical treatment right now.
**[16:52] ---**
But I guarantee that he's all right.
**[17:01] ---**
It seems he's made other friends
besides Boruto.
***SIGN*** MEDICAL
**[17:13] ---**
What happened here?
**[17:15] ---**
Nattou absolutely refuses
to undergo surgery.
**[17:19] ---**
That kid!
**[17:26] ---**
Ninja Art: Ketchup Cannon!
**[17:29] ---**
How's that? It worked, huh?
**[17:35] ---**
Is this–?!
***SIGN*** OROCHIMARU
**[17:41] ---**
Be grateful.
**[17:45] ---**
Orochimaru's autograph?
**[17:47] ---**
Weren't you scared?!
**[17:49] ---**
It was easy…
**[17:52] ---**
is what I'd like to say!
**[17:54] ---**
But we were actually terrified!
**[17:59] ---**
Still, once you do it,
you realize it's possible…
**[18:02] ---**
with courage.
**[18:12] ---**
With courage, huh?
**[18:19] ---**
Man, I slept well!
**[18:30] ---**
That was really powerful.
**[18:33] ---**
You were lucky.
**[18:35] ---**
Your arm almost got blown off.
**[18:38] ---**
Oh, you're here, Kakashi Sensei.
**[18:41] ---**
Without a doubt, that Rasengan
has amazing intensity.
**[18:44] ---**
But the more chakra you compress,
**[18:46] ---**
the greater the recoil,
resulting in more burden to your arm.
**[18:50] ---**
When you consider that,
it isn't a jutsu you can use often.
**[18:54] ---**
Just when I figured out how to do it…
**[18:57] ---**
Don't use that Rasengan recklessly.
**[19:00] ---**
This is an order. Understand?
**[19:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:09] ---**
Boruto?!
**[19:11] ---**
They discharged you already?
**[19:13] ---**
Yeah, but I have to take it easy for a while.
**[19:16] ---**
You came to visit me?
**[19:18] ---**
So, you do have a nice side, huh?
**[19:21] ---**
Of course, I'd come visit!
***SIGN*** LEAF HOSPITAL
**[19:23] ---**
Anyway, I heard you've been
practicing a special jutsu?
**[19:27] ---**
Yeah. When I get it right,
it will be an awesome weapon.
**[19:31] ---**
Oh.
**[19:32] ---**
Mr. Kakashi told me it takes
a huge toll on my arm,
**[19:35] ---**
so I shouldn't use it much.
**[19:38] ---**
Oh yeah, are you still training
with Mr. Sasuke?
**[19:40] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:41] ---**
Dad, and also thanks to Mom, it's going well.
**[19:46] ---**
So now, once Mitsuki comes back…
**[19:48] ---**
Team 7 can start up again.
**[19:50] ---**
Oh yeah, perfect timing!
**[19:54] ---**
That's–!
**[19:56] ---**
Mr. Anato's ring.
**[19:57] ---**
After that last mission,
so many things happened,
**[20:00] ---**
and we didn't have a chance to return it.
**[20:02] ---**
I was just about to go and
return it to Mrs. Mia.
**[20:05] ---**
Wanna come with me, Sarada?
**[20:07] ---**
I already got Dad's permission.
**[20:09] ---**
Definitely.
**[20:11] ---**
I'm worried about what happened
to Mr. Anato after all that.
**[20:14] ---**
Oh yeah, Konohamaru Sensei
should still be
**[20:16] ---**
in the Land of Valleys on a mission.
**[20:19] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[20:28] ---**
W-Wait!
**[20:29] ---**
No one other than authorized department
personnel is allowed beyond this–!
**[20:44] ---**
I told you not to come in
from outside entrance!
**[20:47] ---**
Don't cause unnecessary disturbances!
**[20:50] ---**
I just improved the ventilation in here.
**[20:53] ---**
You–!
**[20:54] ---**
Where is the puppet?
**[20:56] ---**
I had some interference.
**[20:57] ---**
Sorry, but I don't have
a present for you.
**[21:02] ---**
Anyway, the Feudal Lord
of the Land of Valleys
**[21:04] ---**
is coming for an inspection.
**[21:06] ---**
You get ready too.
**[21:08] ---**
Just pull the wool over his eyes again.
**[21:10] ---**
You're the one who's supposed to
handle that sort of tiresome work.
**[21:13] ---**
I'll be taking a nice, long rest.
**[21:16] ---**
Rest?!
**[21:17] ---**
The experiments are in
their final stages!
**[21:21] ---**
Still, you're responsible
for the experiments.
**[21:24] ---**
As long as I can get the ripe fruit,
that's enough for me.
**[21:35] ---**
He said the experiments are
in the final stages.
**[21:38] ---**
We can't allow their plan
to progress any further.
**[21:41] ---**
But our hands are tied at this point.
**[21:45] ---**
Should we take advantage of
the Feudal Lord's inspection?
**[21:49] ---**
Looks like that's our only option right now.
**[23:27] ---**
Just how do we take advantage
of the Feudal Lord's inspection?
**[23:30] ---**
Do we just ask them if we can tag along?
**[23:33] ---**
We're talking about the Feudal Lord
of the Land of Valleys.
**[23:35] ---**
It's not gonna go so smoothly.
**[23:36] ---**
Leave it to me. I have a really good idea.
**[23:40] ---**
Mugino, listen up…
