*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!

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!
