    This container…
[00:17] ---
    Why is it open?
[00:20] ---
    Exactly what was inside of it?
[00:29] ---
    There are ports!
[00:31] ---
    Is this a data unit?
[00:34] ---
    Judging by its format,
[00:36] ---
    I should be able to use
    this Scroll Flash Drive.
[00:43] ---
    All right!
    It looks like I can copy it.
[00:45] ---
    Hopefully there's data that
    can provide some clues.
[00:55] ---
    You're… the guy
    who was in Victor's lab!
[00:59] ---
    So, you were still alive?!
[01:11] ---
    What happened?!
[01:13] ---
    Get out of here… Konohamaru!
[01:16] ---
    Hey, Mugino! Hang in there!
[01:23] ---
    What is this?!
[03:08] ---
    1\pos(550,270)\fad(100,500)}Ao*
[03:09] ---
    Sasuke, did you find anything
    out about the Kara?
[03:12] ---
    After accepting Naruto's request,
[03:14] ---
    I went around trying to gather intel
    on Kara's hideout for a while.
[03:18] ---
    But I couldn't find anything
    worth mentioning.
[03:21] ---
    I'm surprised that you of all people,
    couldn't find any leads.
[03:24] ---
    Their hideout might not
    be above ground.
[03:28] ---
    There's no other explanation
[03:29] ---
    why there's barely
    any trace of them.
[03:32] ---
    Taking into account the incident
    with the Divine Tree,
[03:34] ---
    they're able to do things
    without anyone noticing.
[03:37] ---
    So, I suspect that's most
    likely the case.
[03:40] ---
    Seriously, what
    a troublesome organization!
[03:43] ---
    That organization called
    the Kara has something to do
[03:46] ---
    with Boruto's mark, doesn't it?
[03:49] ---
    We should probably assume
    this shadowy presence
[03:51] ---
    has evaded
    our surveillance network
[03:53] ---
    and is operating in secret
    right this very minute.
[03:57] ---
    We shouldn't let our guard down.
[04:00] ---
    We need power to protect everyone
    from these mysterious enemies.
[04:07] ---
    I know.
[04:09] ---
    That's what ninjutsu are for…
    and not Scientific Ninja Tools, right?
[04:16] ---
    Sometimes, instead of offsetting
    jutsu using other jutsu,
[04:19] ---
    absorbing them will result
    in less collateral damage.
[04:25] ---
    You quack scientist!
[04:26] ---
    I'll never forgive you for
    messing up my Chunin Exam!
[04:29] ---
    Long time no see, Young Lord!
[04:31] ---
    What are you doing here?
[04:33] ---
    W-Well…
[04:35] ---
    I called him here for a mission.
[04:37] ---
    Huh?!
[04:38] ---
    A mission?
[04:42] ---
    First off, Boruto…
[04:44] ---
    He's not a quack.
[04:46] ---
    He's got fine skills.
[04:48] ---
    He's another power that
    supports the Hokage.
[04:51] ---
    Just like Sasuke,
    whom you admire so much.
[04:56] ---
    The key is in how one uses it,
    as with any power…
[05:00] ---
    Shinobi are about hard work and guts!
[05:02] ---
    Isn't that what's important?
[05:05] ---
    So, you do understand.
[05:07] ---
    Don't worry.
[05:08] ---
    You're already at the skill level of chunin.
[05:11] ---
    Therefore, I've got a mission for you all.
[05:16] ---
    Transport this prosthetic arm
    to the High-Tech Research Lab
[05:19] ---
    in the city of Ryutan.
[05:21] ---
    And take Katasuke with you.
[05:24] ---
    What?!
[05:26] ---
    The Research Lab in Ryutan is much bigger
[05:27] ---
    than the one here in the Leaf.
[05:30] ---
    We'll be developing the tool
    further at the lab over there
[05:33] ---
    using the working data taken
    from the fight with you, Boruto.
[05:35] ---
    Guard Katasuke and
    deliver this Scientific Ninja Tool.
[05:39] ---
    This is a C-Rank mission.
[05:40] ---
    That's the situation, Young Lord!
[05:43] ---
    I look forward to working with you!
[05:46] ---
    A C-Rank?
[05:48] ---
    I would have understood
    if it was B-Rank,
[05:50] ---
    but why is it C-Rank?
[05:52] ---
    Who'd want a mission like this?!
[06:01] ---
    Sarada, Mitsuki…
[06:04] ---
    Keep a close eye on Boruto's mark.
[06:07] ---
    Your role in this mission
    is to watch over him.
[06:11] ---
    Try not to let him out of your sight.
[06:14] ---
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
[06:15] ---
    That said, do you think
    he'll even accept this mission?
[06:21] ---
    He'll come around.
[06:35] ---
    So, what are you going to do?
[06:37] ---
    Are you gonna do this mission?
[06:39] ---
    It's not like I don't understand
    what my dad is saying.
[06:45] ---
    It's just…
[06:46] ---
    I don't really like…
    those Scientific Ninja Tools.
[06:50] ---
    Well, I kind of understand
    how you feel, but I'm going.
[06:55] ---
    It's a direct assignment
    from Lord Seventh himself.
[06:58] ---
    I've gotta live up to his expectations.
[07:01] ---
    My decision is dependent on yours.
[07:03] ---
    Huh?
[07:04] ---
    I'm not going, if you're not going.
[07:07] ---
    That's my basic policy.
[07:09] ---
    There it is again…
[07:11] ---
    Up until now,
    that was how I've always felt.
[07:14] ---
    Hmm?
[07:15] ---
    I have my own free will.
[07:17] ---
    So, I'll be going even if you aren't going.
[07:21] ---
    Mitsuki!
[07:22] ---
    That prosthetic is not just
    any Scientific Ninja Tool,
[07:25] ---
    but it's Lord Seventh's hand.
[07:28] ---
    A hand crucial in protecting
    our fellow villagers…
[07:31] ---
    including you and me,
    and your mother and little sister.
[07:39] ---
    This is an important mission
    to protect something.
[07:42] ---
    Also with the Kara possibly
    working behind the scenes…
[07:46] ---
    I can't let Sarada
    face any danger by herself.
[07:50] ---
    Now hold on a second!
[07:52] ---
    I never said I wasn't going! I'm going!
[07:59] ---
    Damn it!
[08:01] ---
    I do have some self-awareness
    in regard to being a shinobi, okay?
[08:04] ---
    I'm not going to throw a tantrum
    and reject a mission.
[08:07] ---
    I figured you would say that.
[08:10] ---
    I can't believe you saw right through me!
[08:26] ---
    All right.
[08:27] ---
    The configurations are perfect.
[08:29] ---
    We shouldn't have any issues for a while.
[08:37] ---
    What's the matter?
[08:39] ---
    But there is an issue, Amado.
[08:44] ---
    We still haven't found them…
[08:46] ---
    The traitor who crashed
    the airship, that is.
[08:50] ---
    What are you talking about?
[08:51] ---
    Wasn't that Victor?
[08:53] ---
    You already dealt with him.
[08:56] ---
    It's true that he really
    was trying to steal the Vessel.
[09:00] ---
    But there's someone else who
    tried to use that to their advantage.
[09:08] ---
    Please, just explain it to me
    so I can understand.
[09:12] ---
    The reason why I was adamant
    about an unnecessary transfer
[09:16] ---
    was to draw out the traitor.
[09:20] ---
    As a result, they sprang into action
    just as I expected them to.
[09:25] ---
    Of course, it was someone other than Victor.
[09:28] ---
    Hold on a second.
[09:29] ---
    How do you know it wasn't Victor?
[09:33] ---
    I sensed it.
    Right before the airship crashed.
[09:37] ---
    I sensed it through Karma
    that the Vessel had moved.
[09:41] ---
    Did you just say it moved?!
[09:44] ---
    That is a feat that
    Victor couldn't have achieved.
[09:51] ---
    In other words…
[09:53] ---
    I think it's reasonable to say
    that someone amongst the Inners
[09:57] ---
    tried to use Victor to deceive us
    and steal the Vessel.
[10:04] ---
    Amado, ever since I found
    the Vessel I have been wary.
[10:10] ---
    The Vessel is our long-cherished wish.
[10:13] ---
    I've worried that someone would appear and
[10:16] ---
    make a mistake with something so important.
[10:20] ---
    So, you're saying your fears
    have come true, huh?
[10:25] ---
    Do you have an idea of who it could be?
[10:30] ---
    Come on, are you telling me
    you don't know anything?
[10:33] ---
    I told you my thoughts.
[10:37] ---
    I'm sure you understand what this means.
[10:44] ---
    Okay, fine.
[10:46] ---
    I'll go and find the traitor for you.
[11:07] ---
    It's because you're the only one
    I can ask to do this.
[11:11] ---
    So, I have to investigate that
    super annoying lot, huh?
[11:15] ---
    This is going to be difficult.
[11:27] ---
    We've arrived at
    the Hidden Leaf New Town Station…

[11:30] ---
    Please make sure you have
    all of your belongings with you
.
[11:35] ---
    Damn it! It's really crowded.
[11:38] ---
    It can't be helped.
    They're all unreserved seats.
[11:42] ---
    That aside, Young Lord,
    thank you so much for coming!
[11:47] ---
    Let's treat this like a vacation and relax!
[11:50] ---
    Sorry, Doc.
[11:52] ---
    I just can't get into
    that kinda mood.
[11:57] ---
    Strictly speaking, this is a mission.
[11:59] ---
    I can't treat it like a vacation.
[12:02] ---
    C'mon.
[12:04] ---
    Usually, you'd totally be
    the one treating it like a vacation.
[12:09] ---
    Anyway, there aren't any open seats!
[12:12] ---
    Those over there might be free.
[12:14] ---
    Oh! All right!
[12:16] ---
    Young Lord, I'll handle this.
[12:19] ---
    Excuse me, but do you mind
    if we sit with you?
[12:22] ---
    Why, if it isn't Lord Ao!
[12:29] ---
    Dr. Katasuke!
[12:36] ---
    Is he an acquaintance of yours, Doctor?
[12:39] ---
    Yes. He's one of my patients.
[12:43] ---
    When was the last time
    we saw each other?
[12:46] ---
    I just can't remember.
[12:48] ---
    I believe it was, umm… Huh?
[12:51] ---
    When was it?
[12:54] ---
    I'm sorry, I can't quite remember, either.
[13:00] ---
    I'll speak for the both of us when I say,
[13:01] ---
    I don't like growing old.
[13:04] ---
    Are you in the Land of Fire
    on vacation or something else?
[13:07] ---
    Yes, as a part of my rehabilitation.
[13:10] ---
    I went to the Hidden Leaf to see you.
[13:13] ---
    But unfortunately, you were out.
[13:17] ---
    Oh! I'm so sorry about that!
[13:20] ---
    I was rather busy!
[13:22] ---
    It's fine! Your work and
    efforts must come first.
[13:26] ---
    Without you, I wouldn't have been able
[13:28] ---
    to enjoy things like this vacation.
[13:30] ---
    That's not true.
[13:33] ---
    It's all due to the effort
    you put into rehab.
[13:41] ---
    I thought you hated
    Scientific Ninja Tools?
[13:44] ---
    I do.
[13:47] ---
    But this is a mission.
[13:49] ---
    There's no reason to hate them so much.
[13:52] ---
    The video games and computers
    you love so much
[13:54] ---
    are also the result of scientific technology.
[13:57] ---
    That's completely different.
[13:59] ---
    I'm saying that there's no need
    for something like this.
[14:02] ---
    That's not true, Young Lord.
[14:05] ---
    Scientific Ninja Tools were
    the launching pad,
[14:07] ---
    but currently, the science is mainly used
[14:09] ---
    to develop technology
    for civilian applications.
[14:12] ---
    For things like prosthetic arms and legs.
[14:16] ---
    Prosthetic arms and legs…
[14:32] ---
    Oh, my!
[14:34] ---
    Excuse me for a moment.
[14:35] ---
    Your wrist seems to be a bit loose.
[14:38] ---
    Much appreciated!
[14:40] ---
    I push them a little too hard sometimes.
[14:43] ---
    Old habits from when I was in
    active service are hard to break.
[14:47] ---
    That's how it is when you're a shinobi.
[14:51] ---
    You were a ninja…
[14:53] ---
    – old man?!
    – Hey!
[14:54] ---
    I'm not judging your extremely
    haphazard communication skills…
[14:58] ---
    but could you maybe be a bit more sensitive?
[15:02] ---
    When I was around your age,
    I was already on the battlefield.
[15:06] ---
    Which Village did you work for?
[15:08] ---
    Hold on! You too, Mitsuki?!
[15:12] ---
    The Mist.
[15:13] ---
    The Hidden Mist!
[15:14] ---
    We went there on a school trip!
[15:16] ---
    It's a great place!
[15:21] ---
    A school trip, huh?
[15:25] ---
    It seems the Hidden Mist
    has changed quite a bit
[15:27] ---
    while I've been away.
[15:31] ---
    You haven't been back
    to your village recently?
[15:35] ---
    No. Not since the Great War.
[15:43] ---
    My post ended up in terrible straits.
[15:47] ---
    Aside from me, everyone there died.
[15:53] ---
    It's a miracle that I'm even still alive.
[15:57] ---
    It's all thanks to Dr. Katasuke
    and Scientific Ninja Tools.
[16:04] ---
    You don't care for them… lad?
[16:09] ---
    Uh, well… I guess…
[16:24] ---
    See?
[16:25] ---
    You'd be dead…
[16:31] ---
    If you'd been my enemy, that is.
[16:36] ---
    As with anything,
    it all depends on how you use it.
[16:42] ---
    This thing isn't inherently good or bad.
[16:48] ---
    That's my opinion.
[16:54] ---
    Please, Mr. Ao! Don't startle us like that!
[16:58] ---
    I was about to attack you.
[17:03] ---
    Sorry, sorry!
[17:05] ---
    Because of you…
[17:07] ---
    I feel like I lost some
    years off my life, Lord Ao!
[17:09] ---
    Doctor?! Pull yourself together!
[17:11] ---
    Water! I'll bring him some water!
SIGN    RYUTAN KANON KARIN
[17:15] ---
    The train will be arriving
    at the platform shortly.

[17:18] ---
    Please stand back.
[17:33] ---
    We have arrived in Ryutan.
[17:36] ---
    Uh, please make sure you have
    all of your belongings with you.

[17:43] ---
    We've arrived.
[17:45] ---
    Well, please excuse us.
[17:48] ---
    See you at your next check up!
[17:51] ---
    Okay, I'll visit again.
[18:01] ---
    Thanks, old man.
[18:03] ---
    You come to the Leaf often, right?
[18:06] ---
    Hope to see you again sometime!
[18:08] ---
    Sure!
[18:09] ---
    Please give my regards to Lord Hokage.
[18:12] ---
    I will. See you!
[18:20] ---
    The son of the Hokage, Boruto Uzumaki, eh?
[18:26] ---
    What an agreeable young man.
[18:30] ---
    What a surprise.
[18:32] ---
    I never expected an Inner to
    make a personal appearance.
[18:36] ---
    What happened to Lord Victor?
[18:39] ---
    I always assumed he would be the one
[18:40] ---
    to come and see me
    if the need arose.
[18:43] ---
    He's dead.
[18:47] ---
    I'm impressed.
[18:49] ---
    Your expression didn't change one bit.
[18:52] ---
    My relationship with him was
    that of an Inner and an Outer.
[18:56] ---
    That's all.
[18:58] ---
    Why did you go to the Hidden Leaf?
[19:02] ---
    I wanted to see Dr. Katasuke.
[19:06] ---
    What did you want to see him for?
[19:10] ---
    Naturally…
[19:12] ---
    I was planning on killing him
    if he remembered anything.
[19:19] ---
    I see.
[19:20] ---
    As Grass, you're the one who placed
    that genjutsu on Katasuke Tono…
[19:25] ---
    and brilliantly extracted
    Scientific Ninja Tool intel from him.
[19:32] ---
    I have a very high opinion of you.
[19:36] ---
    There aren't many Outers that I trust.
[19:40] ---
    Well, thank you.
[19:43] ---
    Let's get down to business.
[19:45] ---
    A bothersome thing has happened,
    that I think you can remedy.
[19:50] ---
    The Vessel has been lost.
[19:53] ---
    I see. That's a big deal.
[19:55] ---
    I'd like you to retrieve the Vessel.
[20:00] ---
    The Hidden Leaf's already
    started sniffing around.
[20:03] ---
    It will likely get dramatic.
    Is that all right with you?
[20:08] ---
    That's fine.
[20:10] ---
    Kill anyone who gets involved
    with the Vessel.
[20:15] ---
    Mugino! Pull yourself together!
[20:19] ---
    Konohamaru… Leave me here and go…
[20:22] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
[20:25] ---
    I'm sure that reinforcements will come!
[20:28] ---
    Don't give up until the end!
[20:33] ---
    There's a crate on the floor by my feet.
[20:37] ---
    It has all the necessary intel and weapons.
[20:39] ---
    Feel free to use them.
[20:44] ---
    That said…
[20:46] ---
    You may not require them at all.
[21:11] ---
    Good grief.
SIGN    RYUTAN STATION
[21:20] ---
    It seems like Boruto's a little more
    motivated now, huh?
[21:24] ---
    I'm continuously amazed…
[21:26] ---
    at how you can be so familiar and chat
    with people you've just met!
[21:30] ---
    Huh?
[21:32] ---
    Well, that's because he was
    such a good guy, don't you think?
[21:35] ---
    I'd like to see him again and
    ask him about lots of stuff!
[21:48] ---
    It's been sixteen years
    since I've seen actual combat…
[23:26] ---
    It seems the prosthetic is still
    in need of some fine tuning.
[23:28] ---
    The slight reaction lag bothers me,
[23:31] ---
    it seems there are still issues with
    the actuator's Chakra Sensing!
[23:33] ---
    Maybe if we alter the material
    for the artificial nerves…!
[23:37] ---
    "Chakra Sensing" my foot!
[23:39] ---
    This is the Seventh Hokage's hand!
[23:40] ---
    It's not some toy for
    the Scientific Ninja Tool Team!

SIGN    THE HAND
[23:46] ---
    "The Hand"
[23:48] ---
    You keep saying it all depends
    on how you use the tool…
[23:50] ---
    But I'm not convinced!
