[00:08] ---
    Hey, kid!
[00:14] ---
    What the—?! Who is that?!
[00:17] ---
    Sit down.
[00:19] ---
    Don't leave Naruto's side without permission.
SIGN    1\fad(500,500)\pos(495,268)}Empty Tears*
[01:59] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[02:01] ---
    I'm the fox who possesses his body.
[02:04] ---
    Simply put, I'm kind of like a yokai.
[02:08] ---
    This is crazy!
[02:10] ---
    Just calm down. I've got no beef with you.
[02:13] ---
    It's my job is to look after you
    while Naruto's asleep.
[02:19] ---
    The Five Kage have personally
    asked me to do this.
[02:24] ---
    Shinobi asking me for favors now.
[02:28] ---
    What strange times...
[02:30] ---
    I've read the files Kara has on you.
[02:32] ---
    You're a Tailed Beast, right?
[02:34] ---
    Oh...?
[02:35] ---
    I can't believe he had
    such a monster inside of him.
[02:38] ---
    No wonder the Hokage is so strong.
[02:42] ---
    With a weapon like this,
[02:43] ---
    now I get why he's the head of this village.
[02:49] ---
    Your name's Kawaki, right?
[02:51] ---
    I can't blame you for thinking that,
[02:54] ---
    but you're a bit off target.
[02:58] ---
    In fact, it's quite the opposite.
[03:00] ---
    I actually got in Naruto's way up until now.
[03:05] ---
    I've observed him since he was a baby,
[03:08] ---
    and his life has hardly been smooth sailing.
[03:13] ---
    Yeah.
[03:14] ---
    If anything, he's kind of like you.
[03:20] ---
    I used to be feared,
[03:21] ---
    and I was known as
    the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit.
[03:25] ---
    You were an untouchable monster, right?
[03:27] ---
    Oh right, you read up on me, didn't you?
[03:32] ---
    I took a lot of people's lives.
[03:36] ---
    Including Naruto's parents.
[03:40] ---
    Soon after Naruto was born,
[03:42] ---
    he was forced to become the vessel
    that I would be sealed inside of.
[03:48] ---
    A vessel...
[03:50] ---
    I killed his parents
[03:53] ---
    and he's had to live with me
    ever since he was born.
[03:57] ---
    And he was given immense power
    that he never even asked for.
[04:07] ---
    Earlier, you said that I was
    Naruto's weapon, right?
[04:12] ---
    Yeah.
[04:13] ---
    Well, you're off target on that one too.
[04:15] ---
    I was a chain that constrained his life.
[04:22] ---
    Naruto's parents sealed me within his body.
[04:27] ---
    They used a powerful sealing jutsu
    in exchange for their lives.
[04:34] ---
    I've tried many times to release
    the seal placed on me
[04:37] ---
    by provoking his anger and
    making him go on a rampage.
[04:44] ---
    When Naruto was in a rage,
[04:46] ---
    he'd gain tremendous power, but in exchange,
[04:49] ---
    he'd hurt the people around him
    that he cared most about.
[04:56] ---
    Each time he hurt someone he cared about,
[04:58] ---
    it would take an immense
    emotional toll on him.
[05:02] ---
    I'm not something convenient like a weapon.
[05:05] ---
    That's how my relationship was with Naruto.
[05:10] ---
    Don't be so nervous.
[05:13] ---
    You tremble before me,
[05:16] ---
    but he's had to deal with me
    since he was a little kid.
[05:22] ---
    Against this much power?
[05:24] ---
    I don't believe it!
[05:26] ---
    The people of the village
    probably helped him out, right?
[05:30] ---
    You really think that happened?
[05:31] ---
    You both come from similar circumstances.
[05:38] ---
    Stop that monster from moving!
[05:40] ---
    Do not hold back!
[05:44] ---
    No...
[05:46] ---
    He bore a monster inside of him.
[05:49] ---
    So, of course he got
    treated harshly by others.
[05:52] ---
    He was hated and spent all of his time alone.
[05:59] ---
    He'd end up on the swings
    as he watched the other kids
[06:02] ---
    having fun together,
    out of the corner of his eye.
[06:08] ---
    He wasn't there because
    he particularly liked the swings.
[06:12] ---
    You get what I mean?
[06:21] ---
    For a guy that was always alone,
[06:23] ---
    it's ironic that his specialty
    is the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
[06:34] ---
    That Shadow Clone Jutsu is great.
[06:38] ---
    You could have a fight with yourself,
[06:41] ---
    and get all your stress out, right?
[06:43] ---
    No, doing that won't work.
[06:46] ---
    You wouldn't feel any better.
[06:49] ---
    I've been there and done that.
[06:52] ---
    But in the end, it wasn't any jutsu
    that filled Naruto's heart.
[07:12] ---
    Friendship can change the world.
[07:16] ---
    In unbelievable ways.
[07:21] ---
    I've seen Naruto fill his heart up, up close.
[07:26] ---
    So, I have proof as well.
[07:33] ---
    He's sleeping so soundly!
[07:35] ---
    Even if he got a bit of rest,
    it's not unreasonable
[07:38] ---
    considering all the chakra
    he used up in that last battle.
[07:45] ---
    I've known him for a long time.
[07:46] ---
    I've seen him fight recklessly many times.
[07:52] ---
    He'd put himself through agony
[07:54] ---
    to face his enemies without concern
    of running out of chakra...
[08:00] ---
    Whenever he'd do that,
    his reason was always the same.
[08:04] ---
    Hey, do you know when he's at his strongest?
[08:10] ---
    No idea.
[08:13] ---
    It's when he's fighting for his friends.
[08:18] ---
    The strength that we shinobi possess
[08:20] ---
    is all thanks to our bond
    with another person.

[08:33] ---
    Even you and I are connected.
[08:52] ---
    Do you think I can do it too?
[08:56] ---
    Can I become like him?
[08:59] ---
    Naturally, that all depends on you...
    But it doesn't seem impossible.
[09:07] ---
    Because from the looks of it,
[09:09] ---
    you haven't completely dried up yet.
[09:25] ---
    It's pretty late.
[09:27] ---
    Look for that missing piece tomorrow.
[10:26] ---
    Prove yourself, Kawaki!
[10:29] ---
    Prove your worth.
[10:32] ---
    Learn to use the Karma quickly.
[10:49] ---
    Even if you are the Vessel,
[10:50] ---
    you are only an accessory to the Karma.
[10:56] ---
    From the moment you were given that marking,
[10:59] ---
    your life has been decided,
    regardless of your wishes.
[11:09] ---
    There's no escape.
[11:15] ---
    What's the matter?
[11:21] ---
    It's nothing.
[11:23] ---
    I just have to walk up this tree?
[11:27] ---
    Yeah, concentrate your chakra
    to the soles of your feet.
[11:31] ---
    It's surprisingly difficult.
[11:33] ---
    Well, I'll just give it a try.
[11:40] ---
    There's no escape?
[11:42] ---
    I won't let things go your way.
[11:57] ---
    Good job! You have a knack for it!
[12:00] ---
    It seems you already have
    excellent control over your chakra.
[12:03] ---
    Enough with these baby steps!
[12:06] ---
    Hurry up and teach me
    how to make Shadow Clones.
[12:08] ---
    Damn it.
[12:10] ---
    Do you have any idea how much I struggled
[12:12] ---
    to learn how to climb up a tree?
[12:15] ---
    It was a piece of cake for me.
SIGN    SEVENTH HOKAGE
[12:21] ---
    All right! Let's move on to the next part!
[12:26] ---
    Seems like things are going well.
[12:28] ---
    It sure does.
[12:29] ---
    If he can use ninjutsu
[12:32] ---
    on top of his Karma and
    Scientific Ninja Tools,
[12:33] ---
    Kawaki would become an incredible
    shinobi, don't you think?
[12:36] ---
    That's not what I meant.
[12:39] ---
    He's getting special treatment
    from Lord Seventh.
[12:44] ---
    I mean, I sympathize with
    his circumstances, but...
[12:50] ---
    I think it's only natural.
[12:55] ---
    Lord Seventh thinks of everyone
    in the village as his family.
[12:59] ---
    I mean, he never even hesitated once
[13:02] ---
    in welcoming someone like me
    into the village.
[13:05] ---
    It sounds convincing coming from you.
[13:08] ---
    That's why I suppose everyone
    is special to Lord Seventh.
[13:14] ---
    I see.
[13:25] ---
    Boruto, how's the pain from
    your Karma since then?
[13:30] ---
    Come to think of it,
    it hasn't hurt at all recently.
[13:35] ---
    Except I'll feel my heart racing sometimes,
[13:37] ---
    even though I haven't been
    doing anything physical.
[13:39] ---
    And I've been having
    a hard time falling asleep.
[13:41] ---
    Is it just stress?
[13:43] ---
    I hope so.
[13:44] ---
    Maybe you've gotten more sensitive?
[13:47] ---
    Is that so?
[13:49] ---
    No, I was being sarcastic...
[13:52] ---
    How do you feel, Kawaki?
[13:55] ---
    The pain's gone away for me too.
[13:57] ---
    And I've stopped waking up from nightmares.
[14:00] ---
    If anything, I feel like strength's
    welling up inside of me.
[14:05] ---
    Maybe it's the synergy
    with the ninjutsu training,
[14:08] ---
    but I really feel like
    I'm stronger than before.
[14:13] ---
    Perhaps learning to control your chakra
[14:16] ---
    is having a good effect on the Karma.
[14:20] ---
    I'm proud of my student.
[14:22] ---
    I think he's even better than you
    at climbing trees.
[14:26] ---
    Hey!
[14:28] ---
    Don't make fun of the Hokage, ya know!
[14:31] ---
    Damn it!
[14:31] ---
    Don't get so worked up!
[14:35] ---
    I won't be outdone.
[14:37] ---
    What's the matter?
[14:38] ---
    Dad's been training me lately.
[14:41] ---
    I've got to get him to be more merciless!
[14:43] ---
    Mr. Sasuke's in the village right now?
[14:46] ---
    Yeah, but he was sent on
    another urgent mission.
[14:49] ---
    When he returns,
    could you ask him to train me too?
[14:53] ---
    Yeah, I guess he is kind of your master.
[14:56] ---
    I'll ask him for you when he gets back.
[14:58] ---
    If Mr. Sasuke is training Sarada,
    I can't let myself lag.
[15:02] ---
    Let's train together, Mitsuki!
[15:04] ---
    Good idea.
[15:05] ---
    We need to be ready when
    the time comes to fight Kara.
[15:09] ---
    Yeah!
[15:14] ---
    Kawaki, you're coming too, right?
[15:16] ---
    No, I'll pass.
[15:18] ---
    What?! Why?
[15:20] ---
    Don't tell me you're exhausted
    from that training?!
[15:23] ---
    Of course not!
[15:25] ---
    I've got stuff to do at the house.
[15:27] ---
    What are you gonna do at home?
[15:30] ---
    Let's train together!
[15:32] ---
    Leave me alone!
[15:33] ---
    There's something I have to do by myself.
[15:38] ---
    Whatever it is,
    I'll be by his side watching him.
[15:41] ---
    Let him do what he wants.
[15:42] ---
    Well, fine.
[15:45] ---
    But...
[15:46] ---
    you're not alone anymore.
[15:50] ---
    Even though I have no idea
    how you feel about that.
[16:04] ---
    It's true. It's almost unbelievable.
[16:09] ---
    Well, we're off to do some training.
[16:11] ---
    Let's go, Mitsuki.
[16:13] ---
    It's Jigen!
[16:15] ---
    Huh?
[16:16] ---
    He's the one who carved the Karma into me.
[16:19] ---
    He's the bastard who messed up my life.
[16:28] ---
    He knows everything about it.
[16:30] ---
    He's the unavoidable barrier
    standing in the way of us
[16:32] ---
    solving the mystery of the Karma
    and getting rid of it.
[16:37] ---
    We're gonna have to fight him some day.
[16:39] ---
    We'll defeat him.
[16:41] ---
    Using everything we've got.
    Including the Karma.
[16:49] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[16:52] ---
    We've got to get a lot stronger
    in order to do that.
[16:57] ---
    Besides, this isn't just about
    the Karma for me anymore.
[17:00] ---
    At this point, you're too important
    to me to leave you be...
[17:13] ---
    Isn't that right, Brother?!
[17:21] ---
    Let's crush Jigen...
[17:24] ---
    and the rest of Kara with him!
[17:27] ---
    Not a bad idea.
[17:29] ---
    You've sold me on it, Boruto.
[18:14] ---
    Chidori!
[18:28] ---
    It's no good!
[18:30] ---
    My Chidori is nothing compared to Dad's.
[18:32] ---
    I just can't gather up enough chakra!
[18:36] ---
    We've identified him.
[18:38] ---
    The leader of the Kara's called Jigen.
[18:40] ---
    That name was mentioned in the data
[18:42] ---
    that Konohamaru brought back with him.
[18:44] ---
    But Kawaki's statement confirms
    that he is their leader.
[18:48] ---
    I see.
[18:50] ---
    But should we trust him so easily?
[18:54] ---
    You still don't trust Kawaki?
[18:58] ---
    If you have a reason for
    trusting him, let me know,
[19:01] ---
    Mr. Director of the ANBU.
[19:03] ---
    I admit that Naruto is pretty naïve,
[19:06] ---
    but we don't have evidence
[19:08] ---
    to believe that
    Kawaki's targeting the village.
[19:11] ---
    That's probably not all the data
    Konohamaru brought back with him.
[19:15] ---
    Was there anything about
    the Kara or the Karma?
[19:17] ---
    There was one curious bit of intel.
[19:21] ---
    We found what appears to be
[19:22] ---
    the coordinates to a certain location.
[19:25] ---
    However...
[19:27] ---
    It seems it can only be reached
    via Space-Time Ninjutsu.
[19:30] ---
    What?!
[19:31] ---
    It was in there blatantly,
[19:33] ---
    practically screaming out, "read me!"
[19:35] ---
    It could be a trap to lure us out there.
[19:39] ---
    That's a possibility.
[19:41] ---
    Even so, we can't ignore it.
[19:44] ---
    Sorry, but on my own discretion,
[19:46] ---
    I've already sent out Sasuke to look into it.
[19:48] ---
    You made the right decision.
[19:50] ---
    I would have done the same.
[19:52] ---
    I'd like to find out more about
    the Kara as soon as possible.
[19:56] ---
    This is Sasuke we're talking about.
[19:58] ---
    Even if it is a trap, we probably
    have nothing to worry about.
[20:39] ---
    Sorry to have kept you all waiting!
[20:50] ---
    You have been eagerly waiting for salvation—
[20:53] ---
    for the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
[20:55] ---
    But it's not enough.
[20:56] ---
    You still don't desire it enough.
[20:59] ---
    Are you satisfied with the path
    you have walked on?!
[21:04] ---
    – No!
    – No!
[21:05] ---
    Are you satisfied with
    the situation you're stuck in?!
[21:09] ---
    – No!
    – No!
[21:10] ---
    Do you feel hope for a future
    you cannot see?!
[21:15] ---
    – No!
    – No!
[21:17] ---
    Of course not!
[21:19] ---
    So why is that the case?!
[21:22] ---
    What's the reason?!
[21:24] ---
    I'll tell you why!
[21:26] ---
    It's because you're not waiting
    eagerly enough
[21:29] ---
    for the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
[21:31] ---
    You don't have enough faith!
[21:34] ---
    When your cries for salvation
    reach the heavens,
[21:38] ---
    you will be led to a world of inner peace.
[21:42] ---
    The day you will be led
    by Otsutsuki will eventually come!
[23:25] ---
    I dreamt a dream!
[23:27] ---
    I dreamt that all souls were saved!
[23:30] ---
    With no difference between
    the rich or poor...
[23:33] ---
    A dream that all lives were saved!
[23:35] ---
    This world is rotten!
[23:37] ---
    It's a dump teeming with maggots.
[23:40] ---
    But there is a way to salvation!
[23:43] ---
    Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
[23:47] ---
    "The Cult."
SIGN    THE CULT
[23:49] ---
    That is the ray of light,
    known as the Otsutsuki!
