[00:21] ---
    Oh, what? Dad?
[00:25] ---
    You're still here?
[00:26] ---
    You're taking your sweet time today.
[00:29] ---
    Do you have the day off?
[00:30] ---
    It's not a day off.
[00:32] ---
    You're one to talk, after waking up
    at the very last minute.
[00:35] ---
    Don't come crying to me when
    you run out of time to get ready.
[00:37] ---
    Get ready?
[00:39] ---
    What are you talking about?
[00:41] ---
    Today's the day of remembrance
    for those who died
[00:43] ---
    in the line of duty during
    the Fourth Great Ninja War.
[00:45] ---
    Oh!
[00:48] ---
    I told you the other day.
[00:50] ---
    You forgot, didn't you?
[00:53] ---
    No, not exactly!
[00:55] ---
    It's a day where we pay respects
[00:57] ---
    to your grandpa and many of our friends.
[01:03] ---
    To the Village Hidden in Leaves…
[01:06] ---
    No, to every shinobi
    in the Five Great Nations,
[01:09] ---
    it's a very important day…
[01:12] ---
    …today.

[02:51] ---
    So many people have gathered
    on this day of remembrance
[02:54] ---
    for the Fourth Great Ninja War.
[02:56] ---
    First off, I'd like to
    thank you for coming.
[02:59] ---
    Many years have passed since that event,
[03:02] ---
    but even now, when I close my eyes,
[03:04] ---
    it feels like it happened
    just yesterday.
[03:07] ---
    During the fierce battle,
[03:09] ---
    many of our friends risked
    their lives and perished
[03:13] ---
    to protect the world.
[03:15] ---
    The peace and prosperity
    we take for granted now
[03:19] ---
    is the result of their sacrifice.
[03:24] ---
    The new generation has
    no experience with war,
[03:26] ---
    but I believe it is our duty to teach them
[03:28] ---
    about the many things
    we learned during that battle.
SIGN    RECEPTION
[03:51] ---
    Excuse me.
[03:53] ---
    Yes, may I help you?
[03:55] ---
    Is Dr. Katasuke available
    at the moment?
[03:58] ---
    I heard that I could ask him
    to perform maintenance
[04:01] ---
    on the prosthetic arm he made for me.
[04:04] ---
    Oh, yes, of course!
    Please wait one moment!
[04:09] ---
    I'm very sorry.
    Unfortunately, he's out today.
[04:14] ---
    I see… That's too bad.
[04:16] ---
    It's my fault for showing up suddenly
     without an appointment, after all.
[04:20] ---
    I'll try again another time.
[04:22] ---
    Please give Dr. Katasuke my regards.
[04:34] ---
    I've come to pick up the regular report.
[04:36] ---
    Please wait one moment.
[04:40] ---
    What did he want?
[04:42] ---
    Oh, seems he wanted Dr. Katasuke
[04:45] ---
    to perform maintenance
    on his prosthetic arm.
[04:51] ---
    Excuse me!
[04:56] ---
    In the Fourth Great Ninja War,
[04:59] ---
    our enemy was an army led by Madara Uchiha.
[05:02] ---
    The shinobi of
    the Five Great Nations from
[05:04] ---
    the Hidden Leaf, Sand, Mist,
    Stone and Cloud,
[05:07] ---
    as well as samurai from
    the Land of Iron,
[05:08] ---
    joined together to form
    an alliance to fight them.
[05:13] ---
    Before then, we were divided,
[05:15] ---
    but shinobi everywhere joined
    together to achieve victory.
[05:20] ---
    However, it cost us the lives
    of many of our friends.
[05:27] ---
    Finally, I respectfully offer
    my sincerest condolences to
[05:30] ---
    those who passed away
    in the Great War.
[05:47] ---
    What are you doing here, Shikamaru?
[05:53] ---
    Hey, Ino…
[05:55] ---
    What's with that look on your face?
[05:58] ---
    On days like these,
    I end up thinking about…
[06:01] ---
    …that day.
[06:04] ---
    That day?
[06:05] ---
    When we got the final transmission
[06:08] ---
    from my dad and Mr. Inoichi at HQ.
[06:11] ---
    Me too.
[06:13] ---
    Makes me a bit mad knowing that
    we think about the same thing.
[06:16] ---
    That's mean!
[06:23] ---
    My dad was an advisor
    to the previous Lord Raikage,
[06:27] ---
    who was supreme commander at the time.
[06:29] ---
    Mr. Inoichi was carrying out his duties
[06:31] ---
    as the Captain of the Intelligence Corps
[06:33] ---
    at the Allied Shinobi Forces headquarters.
[06:36] ---
    When we learned that the Ten-Tails
[06:37] ---
    had released a Tailed Beast Bomb toward HQ,
[06:39] ---
    my dad used the little time
    he had left to entrust us
[06:42] ---
    with a strategy to defeat the Ten-Tails.
[06:46] ---
    This is my last duty.
[06:47] ---
    Put me through to everyone
    on the battlefield.
[06:50] ---
    I have a plan to stop Ten Tails,
    our final act.
[06:59] ---
    And if this plan doesn't work? What then?
[07:03] ---
    Then you live on and
    take the reins, Shikamaru!
[07:07] ---
    HQ will soon be no more!
[07:13] ---
    Our dads sure asked a lot from us!
[07:15] ---
    Given the situation,
    there was no way we could refuse.
[07:19] ---
    That's so true.
[07:20] ---
    It was so unfair of them to
    make themselves look cool
[07:23] ---
    even at the very end.
[07:25] ---
    Unfair, what are you–?
[07:26] ---
    It's the truth, isn't it?
[07:29] ---
    Well, yeah…
[07:32] ---
    HQ will soon be no more!
[07:42] ---
    The only face time I spent
    with you as your father
[07:44] ---
    was when we played shogi.
[07:47] ---
    I haven't given you a thing…
[07:48] ---
    You gave me plenty!
[07:52] ---
    I was able to grow up,
    staring at your back, Dad.
[08:01] ---
    Ino…
[08:03] ---
    you grew up perfectly in line
    with the flower language
[08:06] ---
    of the Yamanaka Clan's
    floral family crest,
[08:08] ---
    the purple bush clover.
[08:10] ---
    Optimistic love… right?
[08:14] ---
    That's not the only meaning of
    the purple bush clover.
[08:17] ---
    What I am most proud of about you…
[08:20] ---
    is your care and compassion
    for your friends!
[08:28] ---
    You have blossomed into
    a beautiful bush clover flower indeed.
[08:35] ---
    Never forget that we live
    on inside of you forever.
[08:38] ---
    Don't forget that!
[08:43] ---
    Our dads carried out their duties as
[08:46] ---
    shinobi magnificently
    until the very end.
[08:50] ---
    Yeah.
[08:51] ---
    What a half-hearted response.
[08:53] ---
    Well…
[08:54] ---
    There's something
    I've been wondering about.
[08:57] ---
    Something you've been wondering about?
[09:00] ---
    When they told us their strategy
    to defeat the Ten-Tails
[09:03] ---
    and entrusted everything to us…
[09:05] ---
    Yeah?
[09:06] ---
    Did they really think we could pull it off?
[09:11] ---
    Maybe my dad and
    Mr. Inoichi only said that
[09:14] ---
    just to raise our morale?
[09:17] ---
    Shikamaru…
[09:19] ---
    Well, we've got no way of
    finding out now.
[09:22] ---
    It's not like me to get
    so bothered about something.
[09:29] ---
    Will the day come one day
    when we'll lead by example,
[09:34] ---
    believe in them and
    leave everything in their hands,
[09:36] ---
    just like our dads did?
[09:37] ---
    Hmm, I'm not so sure.
[09:40] ---
    Well, I'm sure we'll know
    when it happens, right?
[09:43] ---
    What kind of half-baked response is that?
[09:46] ---
    I'm being really serious here!
[09:54] ---
    Since you've come to
    the Hidden Leaf for maintenance
[09:57] ---
    on your prosthetic arm,
[09:58] ---
    does that mean you are
    an acquaintance of Dr. Katasuke's?
[10:01] ---
    Yeah. He saved my life when
    I was injured during the Great War.
[10:07] ---
    I see…
[10:08] ---
    You were injured in the Great War.
[10:10] ---
    Please, don't be so sad.
[10:13] ---
    I'm here thanks to
    the doctor's prosthetic arm.
[10:17] ---
    It makes me happy, being from
    the same village as him.
[10:20] ---
    I shall let the doctor know.
[10:26] ---
    It looks like we're a little too late.
[10:29] ---
    There's only a few of people left
    and the ceremony seems to be over.
[10:34] ---
    So, it seems.
[10:36] ---
    I'd only be a nuisance by
    staying too long in the village,
[10:39] ---
    so, if you'll excuse me…
[10:41] ---
    At the very least, let's pay our respects
    and offer some flowers together.
[10:46] ---
    I see…
[11:11] ---
    I've finally been able pay
    my respects to my fallen friends.
[11:16] ---
    During the Great War,
    I was at HQ when it was destroyed.
[11:21] ---
    But I was the only one who
    ended up surviving.
[11:25] ---
    I should have come here sooner…
[11:29] ---
    …and a lot of time has passed.
[11:35] ---
    Back then…
[11:38] ---
    When the Tailed Beast Bomb hit HQ…
[11:40] ---
    I thought it was all over.
[11:50] ---
    Hey! There's a survivor!
SIGN    MEDICAL
[11:54] ---
    This is–!
SIGN    LEAF HOSPITAL
[12:01] ---
    I managed to cling to life.
SIGN    NO VISITORS ALLOWED
[12:05] ---
    But I lay in a coma for many years.
[12:13] ---
    When I finally woke up,
[12:16] ---
    I learned that everyone I had fought with had died.
[12:19] ---
    And…
[12:20] ---
    I saw how my body had changed.
[12:26] ---
    I wished I had perished then,
    rather than live like this.
[12:32] ---
    In my desperate state,
    someone appeared before me…
[12:37] ---
    It was him.
[12:42] ---
    Meeting Dr. Katasuke…
[12:47] ---
    …was a truly fateful encounter.
[12:50] ---
    I was able to get
    a new left arm and leg.
[12:56] ---
    In order to be able to use them,
[12:58] ---
    I devoted myself to rehab.
[13:00] ---
    Little by little, I was able
    to perform everyday tasks…
[13:08] ---
    And finally, I was able
    to regain a normal life.
[13:13] ---
    Are you still a shinobi now?
[13:15] ---
    No…
[13:16] ---
    In this condition, I'm retired.
[13:19] ---
    The doctor said that if
    I had continued rehab,
[13:22] ---
    I could have gone back
    to being a shinobi,
[13:24] ---
    though I wouldn't have been
    as good as before.
[13:28] ---
    So, I gave up on that.
[13:29] ---
    I see.
[13:31] ---
    But that's not all.
[13:34] ---
    I realized something
    during the Great War.
[13:36] ---
    No matter how much I train or master jutsu,
[13:40] ---
    there's a limit to what I can achieve.
[13:45] ---
    That there are beings who exist,
    that I can never beat.
[13:51] ---
    But I feel stronger
    by acknowledging that.
[13:57] ---
    That's how I can continue living like this.
[13:59] ---
    Because I did everything
    I could back then.
[14:04] ---
    What are you going to do now?
[14:07] ---
    I'm thinking I have to find
    a way of being useful to someone's life
[14:11] ---
    in a way that doesn't involve
    being a shinobi.
[14:15] ---
    You've chosen to live as something
    other than a shinobi, correct?
[14:20] ---
    Every day, I think about how I have
    to live the rest of my life
[14:22] ---
    to its fullest for the sake of those
    who died back then.
[14:27] ---
    It had bothered me
[14:28] ---
    that I did not grieve for
    my friends all this time.
[14:33] ---
    But thanks to you
    bringing me here today,
[14:36] ---
    I was able to make that happen.
[14:39] ---
    Thank you.
[14:41] ---
    Oh no, I didn't do anything.
[14:45] ---
    Mr. Ao?!
[14:46] ---
    Mr. Shikamaru!
[14:49] ---
    What?! Mr. Ao?!
[14:51] ---
    You're Ao, the right-hand of
    the Fifth Mizukage Mei?!
[14:57] ---
    Long time no see.
[14:59] ---
    It's been a while, hasn't it?
[15:00] ---
    I'm glad you're here.
    I'm sure our fathers are happy!
[15:06] ---
    I hope so.
[15:07] ---
    I'm really sorry I took so long to pay
[15:09] ---
    my respects to Shikaku and Inoichi.
[15:15] ---
    You truly are his son.
    You look very much like Shikaku.
[15:21] ---
    Now then, I think I should
    take my leave.
[15:25] ---
    Goodbye.
[15:34] ---
    Excuse me!
[15:36] ---
    What is it?
[15:40] ---
    There's something I want to ask you.
[15:49] ---
    During the war, do you remember when
[15:51] ---
    the Tailed Beast Bomb hit headquarters?
[15:55] ---
    You were with my dad and Mr. Inoichi, right?
[15:58] ---
    Yeah.
[16:00] ---
    At that time my dad,
[16:02] ---
    Shikaku Nara was an advisor at headquarters
[16:04] ---
    and told us the strategy
    to defeat the Ten-Tails.
[16:10] ---
    Sometimes, I end up wondering…
[16:12] ---
    if my dad completely believed
    that his strategy
[16:16] ---
    would actually work.
[16:22] ---
    At that time…
[16:27] ---
    It's been acting weird!
    It seems to keep aiming afar!
[16:31] ---
    So, every city and person
    is within its range of fire, huh?
[16:40] ---
    Th-This is–!
[16:42] ---
    What is it, Lord Ao?!
[16:46] ---
    Please listen to me calmly.
[16:54] ---
    Right here, huh?
[16:57] ---
    Shikaku… What now?
[16:59] ---
    Just keep doing what we must do.
[17:05] ---
    Mr. Shikaku analyzed all the data
    that we had gathered so far
[17:09] ---
    during the battle with the Ten-Tails,
[17:11] ---
    and put together the best strategy he could.
[17:14] ---
    Then he relayed it to all of you.
[17:17] ---
    I thought that Shikaku's plan was perfect.
[17:21] ---
    To be honest, I personally had
    no idea whether you could pull it off,
[17:28] ---
    or whether it could defeat the Ten-Tails.
[17:30] ---
    So, then–!
[17:33] ---
    But…
[17:47] ---
    Hey, Shikaku…
[17:49] ---
    What is it, Ao?
[17:52] ---
    Your strategy just now…
[17:55] ---
    Did you tell them this strategy
[17:57] ---
    because you believe they could
    really defeat the Ten-Tails?
[18:00] ---
    Or was it just to–?
[18:01] ---
    Well…
[18:02] ---
    This has nothing to do
    with strategy or abilities.
[18:24] ---
    They said they were proud of you,
[18:27] ---
    their son and daughter.
[18:29] ---
    That they were sure you would pull it off.
[18:31] ---
    They believed in you,
    without a hint of doubt.
[18:53] ---
    Dad!
[18:56] ---
    It was a splendid and befitting end
    for the two of them.
[19:01] ---
    Does that answer your question?
[19:10] ---
    Yes!
[19:16] ---
    Thank you very much!
[19:28] ---
    Mr. Ao especially…
[19:30] ---
    must be someone
    who has lived their entire life
[19:32] ---
    adhering to their shinobi path.
[19:38] ---
    Yeah…
[19:52] ---
    I finally found you, Dad!
[19:56] ---
    So, this is where you were.
[19:58] ---
    Shikadai. What's the matter?
[20:01] ---
    Since a certain someone
    didn't come home…
[20:04] ---
    Mom told me to go out
    and look for you.
[20:08] ---
    Sorry about that.
[20:09] ---
    Well, it's fine.
[20:11] ---
    What were you doing here by yourself?
[20:17] ---
    Oh, just some stuff.
[20:22] ---
    Hey!
[20:24] ---
    Wanna go grab
    something good to eat?
[20:27] ---
    Huh?
[20:28] ---
    It's good to do once in a while!
[20:30] ---
    We used to go out and
    eat after training, right?
[20:33] ---
    I'll treat you to anything you want today.
[20:37] ---
    Wait up!
[20:41] ---
    It isn't like you to say
    stuff like this, Dad.
[20:44] ---
    Did something good happen?
[20:47] ---
    Who knows?
[20:49] ---
    The heck's that supposed to mean?
[20:53] ---
    Adults have a lot going on.
[20:56] ---
    Hmm…
[20:57] ---
    Being an adult sounds like a drag.
[21:05] ---
    I wonder if he's learning
    anything by watching me?
[21:12] ---
    I guess some day, the time will come
[21:14] ---
    when I'll entrust him with everything, too.
[21:17] ---
    Dad!
[21:19] ---
    You're so slow!
    Hurry up already!
[21:22] ---
    Yeah, yeah…
[23:27] ---
    I don't have much time left.
[23:30] ---
    The plan must be implemented,
[23:32] ---
    or the goal will not be accomplished.
[23:33] ---
    One can't solve a problem
    without making some sacrifices.
[23:36] ---
    I'm going to steal
    Jigen's most precious "wish"
[23:38] ---
    right from under him.
[23:40] ---
    Next time on Boruto:
    Naruto Next Generations:

    "Victor's Scheme"
SIGN    VICTOR'S SCHEME
[23:45] ---
    It was good I prepared this
    in case there was an emergency…
[23:48] ---
    Seems it will come in very handy.
