[00:09] ---
    There was once a special unit that monitored
[00:12] ---
    all who entered or left
    the Leaf through their chakra.
[00:16] ---
    A Sensory Unit led by the Yamanaka Clan.
[00:18] ---
    I know that.
[00:20] ---
    But wasn't that during the war?
[00:22] ---
    Are they still active now in peacetime?
[00:25] ---
    Lately, they've become
    more cautious of the Kara
[00:29] ---
    and are working on enhancing
    the Sensory Unit.
[00:33] ---
    They can distinguish whether a chakra
[00:35] ---
    has been previously registered
    in the Leaf or not.
[00:38] ---
    If anything, unregistered
    and unknown enters,
[00:41] ---
    it's detected instantly.
[00:42] ---
    Is that right?
[00:44] ---
    In that case, it won't be easy to infiltrate.
[00:46] ---
    Exactly.
[00:48] ---
    So, you stay put.
[00:50] ---
    What?
[00:54] ---
    Hold on a minute!
[01:01] ---
    Koji?!
[01:03] ---
    How!
[01:05] ---
    Like I said.
[01:07] ---
    It won't be like this for you.
[01:11] ---
    If you don't want to stir things up...
    stay where you are.
[01:22] ---
    Now then, where are you, Kawaki?
[01:31] ---
    That Koji!
[01:32] ---
    How come he didn't get caught
    in the Sensory Unit's net?
[01:36] ---
    It should be impossible
    to sneak in unnoticed!
[01:39] ---
    Damn it! He pulled one over on me again.
[01:42] ---
    And he's now slipped away
    completely from my sight too!
[01:54] ---
    Sorry, Delta...
[01:57] ---
    This is a mission.
[01:59] ---
    I'll do as I please.

[03:56] ---
    What do you want me to do?
[03:58] ---
    Damn it.
[04:02] ---
    All right!
[04:05] ---
    Go, go, go!
[04:09] ---
    All right! Go this way!
[04:13] ---
    Coming!
[04:17] ---
    Oh, welcome, you two!
[04:20] ---
    Hello!
[04:21] ---
    We don't have a mission today,
    so we thought we'd stop by!
[04:26] ---
    Big Brother, you have visitors!
[04:31] ---
    Excuse us!
[04:35] ---
    Oh what, it's you guys?
[04:37] ---
    You rarely come over together.
[04:40] ---
    We came to spy on Kawaki.
[04:43] ---
    What are you saying?
[04:46] ---
    Hey!
[04:48] ---
    But you're the one that suggested it
    and invited me, Sarada.
[04:51] ---
    Cha...
[04:54] ---
    At least you're honest.
[04:57] ---
    It's the first time
    we're talking face to face, huh?
[05:00] ---
    I'm Mitsuki.
[05:01] ---
    I'm on the same team as Boruto
    and I'm also his friend.
[05:04] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[05:08] ---
    What's the big idea?
[05:10] ---
    I'm not so naive as to put
    my dominant hand into yours.
[05:13] ---
    And I wouldn't do that especially
    with someone I know nothing about.
[05:18] ---
    You knew! Impressive!
[05:23] ---
    How's he doing?
[05:26] ---
    Huh?
[05:27] ---
    I'm talking about Kawaki!
[05:28] ---
    Lord Seventh's keeping
    an eye on him here, right?
[05:31] ---
    Yeah...
[05:32] ---
    Anyway, as you can see, he's got an attitude.
[05:36] ---
    Are you worried?
[05:37] ---
    Huh?
[05:38] ---
    It's not like that, but...
[05:54] ---
    Relax, Kawaki!
[06:00] ---
    You're safe now.

[06:14] ---
    What are you looking at, nosy?
[06:18] ---
    Lemme just say this...
[06:20] ---
    I'm not interested in being friends
    with you guys.
[06:22] ---
    You're so rude.
[06:24] ---
    I just—!
[06:25] ---
    Wow, we've got a lot of visitors today!
[06:29] ---
    Lord Seventh!
[06:30] ---
    Please excuse us!
[06:33] ---
    Since your friends are over,
    we can do this another time.
[06:36] ---
    Huh? Do what?
[06:39] ---
    Remember I told you
[06:41] ---
    I'd be your training partner for
    Shinobi Hand-to-Hand Combat?
[06:44] ---
    I thought you'd forgotten again.
[06:46] ---
    My game's going well right now, but...
[06:49] ---
    Since you brought it up, sure,
    I don't mind going with you.
[06:52] ---
    You're actually really happy,
    aren't you... Big Brother?
[06:58] ---
    What are you talking about, Himawari?!
[07:00] ---
    I don't really care.
[07:01] ---
    But it's true!
[07:05] ---
    Can we come along to watch?
[07:07] ---
    Of course!
[07:10] ---
    Come with us too, Kawaki!
[07:14] ---
    Why me?
[07:15] ---
    Don't be like that.
[07:18] ---
    We might learn something about Karma.
[07:38] ---
    I probably don't need to say this...
[07:41] ---
    But I'm not holding back, Dad.
[07:43] ---
    There's nothing I'd like more.
[07:46] ---
    Come at me with everything
    you've got, Boruto.
[07:48] ---
    Big Brother, do your best!
[07:55] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[08:00] ---
    That's what the Hokage always uses.
[08:03] ---
    It's the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
[08:04] ---
    Big Brother's mastered it too.
[08:07] ---
    Shadow Clones...
[08:26] ---
    As expected!
[08:28] ---
    Damn it!
[08:30] ---
    I thought you said
    you weren't going to hold back.
[08:33] ---
    Is that all you've got?
[08:35] ---
    Hey, Boruto!
[08:36] ---
    What are you doing?
[08:37] ---
    Huh?
[08:38] ---
    Forget the petty tricks.
    Just use the Karma already!
[08:42] ---
    What?
[08:43] ---
    Like I told you...
[08:44] ---
    We need to learn a lot more about Karma...
[08:48] ---
    because we need to figure out
    how to get rid of it.
[08:52] ---
    And it's all pointless unless
    you're able to use it at will.
[08:56] ---
    That's easy for you to say.
[08:58] ---
    I can't make it happen just like that.
[09:01] ---
    If you're saying it's because
    you're still not used to it...
[09:12] ---
    I'll help you.
[09:22] ---
    A Resonance Phenomenon.
[09:23] ---
    So, it's reacting to Kawaki's Karma?
[09:31] ---
    Seriously?
[09:35] ---
    I see...
[09:39] ---
    Shouldn't we stop?!
[09:40] ---
    Well, no.
[09:42] ---
    Kawaki has a point.
[09:45] ---
    Without a doubt,
    it could be a dangerous power,
[09:47] ---
    but we can learn a lot of things by using it.
[09:50] ---
    Okay, come at me with everything
    you've got, using that.
[09:54] ---
    I guess I don't have to worry
    if I'm testing it on you, Dad.
[09:58] ---
    Here goes!
[10:06] ---
    So fast!
[10:11] ---
    You're not getting away!
[10:14] ---
    Lightning Style!
[10:16] ---
    Thunderclap Arrow!
[10:20] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[10:33] ---
    His physical abilities
    have greatly increased.
[10:36] ---
    And his jutsu is more powerful too.
[10:39] ---
    In short, you simply get stronger.
[10:49] ---
    You're definitely powered up, for sure.
[10:52] ---
    Relying only on power can trip you up.
[10:58] ---
    I know that already!
[11:02] ---
    You gotta read behind deception!
[11:04] ---
    Did he hit Lord Seventh?!
[11:13] ---
    Too naïve, idiot.
[11:15] ---
    Ouch!
[11:16] ---
    Damn it!
[11:18] ---
    It didn't work, after all!
[11:21] ---
    No...
[11:23] ---
    It wasn't just because of
    the power of the Karma.
[11:24] ---
    You're moving smarter now.
[11:31] ---
    You've trained well, Boruto.
[11:35] ---
    Well, yeah.
[11:42] ---
    What's that all about?
[11:45] ---
    That's the Unison Sign.
[11:47] ---
    It's like a shinobi ritual
    that's done at the end of a match.
[11:51] ---
    It's kinda sort of like a salutation.
[11:55] ---
    I'm gonna get a hit in next time!
[12:07] ---
    Boruto was really strong earlier, huh?
[12:10] ---
    You're right.
[12:13] ---
    He's good.
[12:16] ---
    Thunderclap Arrow!
[12:22] ---
    Even Lord Seventh praised him.
[12:25] ---
    It's because Boruto's really talented!
[12:29] ---
    But that Karma is...
[12:31] ---
    If I lose focus, I might get left behind.
[12:38] ---
    All right, I've decided!
[12:39] ---
    Huh?
[12:40] ---
    I'm going to train again
    really hard with Dad.
[12:43] ---
    And this time for sure,
    I'll master a jutsu that only I can do!
[12:48] ---
    O-Oh... You sound determined.
[12:50] ---
    After seeing something like that,
    doesn't it make you fired up?
[12:54] ---
    Anyway, see you!
[12:55] ---
    Do your best!
[13:01] ---
    But... every power carries a risk.
[13:05] ---
    Do those two realize that?
[13:32] ---
    That... was training?
[13:46] ---
    What are you doing?
[13:49] ---
    Get up, now.
[13:51] ---
    If you can't master that,
    you're of no worth to me.
[14:03] ---
    I'm done... with this.
[14:10] ---
    I've had enough!
[14:12] ---
    What is this anyway?
[14:14] ---
    Get it off me, already!
[14:16] ---
    I don't recall giving you permission
    to ask me questions, Kawaki.
[14:20] ---
    However, I'm quite relieved.
[14:23] ---
    You've still got lots of energy.
[14:26] ---
    Now get up.
[14:30] ---
    Kawaki. You have nothing.
[14:35] ---
    No family, no friends, no power, no talent.
[14:40] ---
    You don't have a single thing.
[14:42] ---
    You are empty.
[14:45] ---
    You yourself should know that.
[14:48] ---
    You loathe your empty self.
[14:53] ---
    You deny your own worth.
[14:56] ---
    There is a hole in your heart.
[14:59] ---
    Nothing you gain,
    will ever fill a broken vessel.
[15:04] ---
    It will just spill right out of that hole.
[15:08] ---
    I'm—!
[15:10] ---
    But Kawaki, that's precisely why...
[15:13] ---
    I bestowed the Karma upon you.
[15:19] ---
    It is the one thing that
    can fill your punctured heart.
[15:26] ---
    Because it's a special mark.
[15:28] ---
    This will fill my heart?
[15:31] ---
    Then why does it hurt so much?!
[15:36] ---
    I told you, didn't I?
[15:38] ---
    Without the Karma, you are worthless.
[15:43] ---
    But I...
[15:45] ---
    How many times must I tell you?
[15:47] ---
    I did not give you permission
    to ask me questions.
[15:50] ---
    If you understand, get up...
[15:53] ---
    Because it would be a pain to
    have to kill you and go find another.
[16:07] ---
    Um, so this is the...
[16:10] ---
    It's such a hassle without Shikamaru around.
[16:16] ---
    You'd better study hard if you don't
    want to end up like me.
[16:22] ---
    So, the Hokage has to work from home
    in order to keep an eye on me.
[16:25] ---
    Must be a pain.
[16:27] ---
    Actually, it's perfect since it gives me
    a reason to be at home, ya know?
SIGN    IT STICKS GLUE
[16:47] ---
    Damn it, is that bastard gonna fix it or not?
[16:56] ---
    What is it?
[16:58] ---
    Did you want to ask me a question?
[17:07] ---
    You... don't hit, do you?
[17:10] ---
    Huh?
[17:11] ---
    So, are you and Boruto...
[17:14] ---
    always like that?
[17:16] ---
    Huh?
[17:17] ---
    That training earlier.
[17:20] ---
    It seemed like fun.
[17:22] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[17:24] ---
    Want to join us next time?
[17:26] ---
    For ninjutsu training?
[17:28] ---
    How? I'm no ninja.
[17:31] ---
    I can't wield chakra.
[17:33] ---
    That's not true.
[17:35] ---
    Chakra exists within
    each and every one of us.
[17:38] ---
    It's not something exclusive to shinobi.
[17:40] ---
    Sure, we use chakra to power ninjutsu,
[17:44] ---
    but that's not its true nature.
[17:49] ---
    The real essence of chakra is
    that it's a binding force.
[17:54] ---
    A binding force?
[17:57] ---
    Yeah.
[17:58] ---
    Not just for Boruto and Sarada
    and the others.
[18:00] ---
    Even those who aren't ninja like Himawari,
[18:02] ---
    we're all connected in no small measure...
[18:06] ---
    through chakra.
[18:09] ---
    And the strength that we shinobi possess...
[18:11] ---
    is all thanks to our bond
    with another person.
[18:15] ---
    Even you and I are connected.
[18:21] ---
    I don't get it.
[18:23] ---
    Still, that Shadow Clone Jutsu...
[18:27] ---
    That's great.
[18:28] ---
    It looks useful.
[18:30] ---
    Shadow Clones?
[18:31] ---
    Yeah, they're super handy.
[18:34] ---
    Not only in battle,
[18:35] ---
    but you can also do
    lots of things all at once.
[18:37] ---
    That too, but...
[18:39] ---
    You can hit yourself, right?
[18:42] ---
    Like when you're in a bad mood?
[18:47] ---
    You could have a fight with yourself,
    and get all your stress out, right?
[18:51] ---
    No, doing that won't work.
[18:55] ---
    You wouldn't feel any better.
[18:57] ---
    You don't know that until you try.
[19:00] ---
    I did...
[19:02] ---
    A long time ago.
[19:06] ---
    I've been there and done that.
[19:09] ---
    If you're gonna fight,
    you should have an opponent.
[19:13] ---
    A rival who will push you to get better.
[19:16] ---
    When you have a connection with a friend...
[19:17] ---
    Friendship can change the world.
[19:19] ---
    In unbelievable ways.
[19:28] ---
    Yeah, right.
[19:31] ---
    I've been there and done that too.

[19:47] ---
    Well, Is it good? Is it good?!
[19:52] ---
    It's really good!
[19:53] ---
    Learning to cook more dishes
    while Dad's been gone has paid off.
[19:57] ---
    H-Hey, hold on!
[20:04] ---
    She's right, it's good.
[20:06] ---
    Really?

    Oh, stop!

    Oh, come on.

    Eat more!
[20:11] ---
    Still acting like you're a newlywed.
[20:17] ---
    Hey, Dad?
[20:18] ---
    I have a favor to ask you.
[20:21] ---
    What is it?
[20:22] ---
    Chidori training...
[20:24] ---
    I seriously want you to teach me.
[20:26] ---
    Sarada, you...
[20:29] ---
    I can't afford to fall behind!
[20:38] ---
    A rival who will push you
    to get better... Is that it?
[20:42] ---
    Huh?
[20:43] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[20:45] ---
    I don't have to remind you,
[20:46] ---
    but training will be
    more intense than last time.
[20:48] ---
    There's nothing I'd like better!
[21:07] ---
    Nothing you gain,
    will ever fill a broken vessel.

[21:12] ---
    Even you and I are connected.
[21:21] ---
    What a pain.
[21:47] ---
    There you are, Kawaki...
[21:50] ---
    Found you.
[23:26] ---
    How long are you gonna make me wait?!
[23:29] ---
    You bastard, Koji Kashin!
[23:31] ---
    You don't plan on coming back, do you?!
[23:33] ---
    I've had it!
[23:35] ---
    I'm so peeved, I'm about to pass out!
