**[00:11] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting, Koji.
**[00:18] ---**
Everything's ready now.
**[00:20] ---**
Is that all you're taking?
**[00:23] ---**
It doesn't look like much.
**[00:25] ---**
I only need one section of cell fragments
**[00:28] ---**
and the digitized data aggregate.
**[00:31] ---**
The work itself can be done
using their equipment.
**[00:36] ---**
That aside...
**[00:37] ---**
Looks like we've got ourselves
a secret weapon.
**[00:41] ---**
It's all thanks to the data
you gathered in the Leaf.
**[00:44] ---**
It's always good to have
a lot of secret weapons.
**[00:48] ---**
Especially since our opponent is Jigen.
**[00:52] ---**
Shall we get started?
**[00:53] ---**
Very well.
**[00:57] ---**
Summoning: Steam Toad!
**[01:15] ---**
It would be great if they have
good coffee over there...
**[01:23] ---**
Hold on a second!
**[01:25] ---**
It doesn't look like you geezers
**[01:27] ---**
are going on a friendly little date.
***SIGN*** 1\fad(460,880)\pos(525,236)}Amado's Defection*
**[03:05] ---**
Where do you think you're going, Amado?
**[03:08] ---**
And without Jigen's permission, no less.
**[03:11] ---**
I'm not turning a blind eye...
**[03:13] ---**
if you're committing treason!
**[03:15] ---**
I'll deal with this, Amado.
**[03:17] ---**
Hope you don't mind.
**[03:18] ---**
Actually... there's no need to bother.
**[03:22] ---**
Time to go to sleep... Delta.
**[03:31] ---**
*That's... an emergency shutdown code!*
**[03:36] ---**
Oof, there we go.
**[03:38] ---**
All right. I'm ready when you are.
**[03:41] ---**
Do it.
**[03:47] ---**
When you arrive, stay close
to the wall and head right.
**[03:51] ---**
Good luck.
**[03:53] ---**
I wish you luck as well.
**[03:58] ---**
Ninja Art: Reverse Summoning.
**[04:23] ---**
The air outside is awfully cold.
**[04:33] ---**
*I suspect I've been similarly programmed.*
**[04:43] ---**
Expansion Jutsu!
**[04:46] ---**
Followed by...
**[04:47] ---**
What?
**[04:48] ---**
Human Boulder!
**[04:51] ---**
Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!
**[04:54] ---**
Everyone! Why don't we break for lunch soon?
**[04:56] ---**
Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!
**[04:58] ---**
*It's unusual of them to say
they want to train.*
**[05:00] ---**
*That surprised me...*
**[05:00] ---**
Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!
**[05:03] ---**
*But it seems they're still
bothered by the fact*
**[05:07] ---**
*that they couldn't catch
the intruder on their own.*
**[05:09] ---**
*Oh well...*
**[05:11] ---**
*I guess I'll go get them some refreshments.*
**[05:14] ---**
Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!
**[05:16] ---**
Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll!
**[05:21] ---**
Aww!
**[05:27] ---**
Ow!
**[05:30] ---**
Shadow Paralysis Jutsu.
**[05:32] ---**
You let your guard down, Inojin.
**[05:34] ---**
This is a battle royal, you know.
**[05:38] ---**
The same goes for you too.
**[05:40] ---**
Partial Expansion Jutsu!
**[05:43] ---**
Oh no!
**[05:47] ---**
I really thought you would go after Inojin...
**[05:50] ---**
I figured you might think that,
**[05:53] ---**
so I read the hidden meaning a little.
**[06:00] ---**
A new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, huh?
**[06:03] ---**
Great!
**[06:04] ---**
It's my lucky day!
**[06:05] ---**
Huh?
**[06:06] ---**
Sorry, but could you keep me
company for a bit?
**[06:11] ---**
Huh?
**[06:13] ---**
Who are you?
**[06:18] ---**
Hey, wait!
**[06:20] ---**
Stop right there.
**[06:24] ---**
The Hidden Leaf Village is down this way.
**[06:27] ---**
What do you want, Old Man?
**[06:29] ---**
I'll discuss that directly with
your father, Shikadai Nara.
**[06:36] ---**
I would be obliged if you'd take me to him.
**[06:43] ---**
I told you to stop.
**[06:45] ---**
You're way too sketchy, Old Man!
**[06:55] ---**
What?!
**[06:57] ---**
*What is he—?!*
**[06:58] ---**
*Is that a Scientific Ninja Tool?!*
**[07:02] ---**
*You're kidding, right?!*
**[07:03] ---**
*He... overpowered my Shadow Paralysis!*
**[07:06] ---**
Shikadai!
**[07:14] ---**
I need you to stay quiet for a little while.
**[07:19] ---**
There's no need to worry.
**[07:21] ---**
It's a harmless drug.
**[07:23] ---**
However...
**[07:28] ---**
Whether you survive or not
depends on your father.
**[07:33] ---**
*Mom! Can you hear me?!*
**[07:36] ---**
Inojin?
**[07:37] ---**
*What's the matter?! Where are you right now?!*
**[07:39] ---**
We're right outside the village, and Shikadai...
**[07:41] ---**
Shikadai is in trouble!
**[07:43] ---**
Can you get a hold of Mr. Shikamaru quick?!
**[07:47] ---**
I see...
**[07:48] ---**
We'll need Kara's technology
**[07:51] ---**
in order to repair Kawaki's body, huh?
**[07:53] ---**
I'm analyzing it as fast as I can,
**[07:56] ---**
but even that is taking a while to do.
**[07:59] ---**
But if he continues to use
that prosthetic arm,
**[08:01] ---**
his bodily functions will weaken, right?
**[08:04] ---**
Isn't there anything you can do?
**[08:05] ---**
As I said before,
because of its unique structure,
**[08:10] ---**
I believe repairs will take much more time...
**[08:13] ---**
We can't dawdle like this!
**[08:15] ---**
His body won't hold up!
**[08:17] ---**
Boruto, don't get so worked up.
**[08:20] ---**
It's not like I'm going to die.
**[08:21] ---**
But still—!
**[08:23] ---**
*Shikamaru! Can you hear me?*
**[08:25] ---**
*It's an emergency!*
**[08:26] ---**
What's the matter, Ino?
**[08:28] ---**
Shikamaru, stay calm and just listen to me.
**[08:31] ---**
*Shikadai was captured by a man*
**[08:33] ---**
*who claims to be a member of the Kara.*
**[08:36] ---**
*A bomb has been attached to his neck.*
**[08:39] ---**
*Sai and the others are hurrying
to the scene right now.*
**[08:42] ---**
What did you say?!
**[08:44] ---**
*The man's name is Amado.*
**[08:46] ---**
*He wants to talk to you.*
**[08:50] ---**
Hey, Shikamaru?
**[09:01] ---**
Sensei!
**[09:06] ---**
Who are you?!
**[09:07] ---**
He did that to Shikadai
in the blink of an eye!
**[09:11] ---**
Let go of the child!
**[09:13] ---**
Moegi Kazamatsuri, huh?
**[09:15] ---**
What?!
**[09:16] ---**
How do you know my name?
**[09:18] ---**
Sorry, but I have no intention
of talking to you.
**[09:20] ---**
Please just stay quiet over there.
**[09:22] ---**
I'm gonna have you stay quiet!
**[09:25] ---**
Earth Style: Gravel!
**[09:31] ---**
Moegi, stop!
**[09:33] ---**
I've restrained his arms and legs.
**[09:34] ---**
How nice of the Anbu
Black Ops to finally drop in,
**[09:37] ---**
Sai Yamanaka.
**[09:39] ---**
Listen very carefully, okay?
**[09:42] ---**
You see what's hanging from
the tree branch behind me?
**[09:49] ---**
It's the same thing
that's around Shikadai's neck.
**[09:54] ---**
I'm going to trigger it
to detonate right now.
**[09:57] ---**
Without being able to move at all.
**[10:01] ---**
What did you say?!
**[10:04] ---**
Boom.
**[10:11] ---**
Do you get it now?
**[10:13] ---**
There's no point in restraining me.
**[10:15] ---**
Furthermore,
**[10:17] ---**
Shikadai's collar is set
to automatically detonate
**[10:21] ---**
in roughly 48 hours.
**[10:25] ---**
I'm the only one who can disarm it.
**[10:28] ---**
In other words...
**[10:29] ---**
I don't recommend killing me.
**[10:33] ---**
Moegi!
**[10:35] ---**
Release your jutsu and let him go.
**[10:42] ---**
Let's hear your demands.
**[10:44] ---**
Talk.
**[10:47] ---**
Before I do that...
**[10:49] ---**
I just want to apologize
for the circumstances
**[10:51] ---**
that forced me to take
such drastic measures.
**[10:54] ---**
Forgive me.
**[10:56] ---**
I wasn't intending on hurting anyone.
**[10:59] ---**
But time is of the essence.
**[11:03] ---**
Sorry, but I'm not feeling
very trusting right now.
**[11:07] ---**
I don't care about your opinions.
**[11:09] ---**
Like I said, there's no time.
**[11:12] ---**
Let me speak to Shikamaru Nara.
**[11:15] ---**
Hurry!
**[11:16] ---**
*I'm listening, Old Man.*
**[11:18] ---**
*Who are you?*
**[11:20] ---**
Oh?
**[11:22] ---**
So, this is the Yamanaka Clan's
jutsu that I've heard all about.
**[11:25] ---**
How convenient.
**[11:27] ---**
You don't have time, right?
**[11:29] ---**
Cut the chit-chat.
**[11:31] ---**
Why do you want me?
**[11:36] ---**
Normally, this is something
I would ask the Hokage directly,
**[11:41] ---**
but I felt it was only proper that
I run it by his advisor first.
**[11:46] ---**
And besides, after the
Hokage's defeat by Jigen,
**[11:49] ---**
I'm sure he must be unavailable.
**[11:51] ---**
And I hear you're the one
**[11:53] ---**
with decision-making authority
in such situations.
**[11:56] ---**
That's why.
**[11:58] ---**
*He knows that Jigen took down Naruto...*
**[12:02] ---**
*At the very least,
it seems like he wasn't lying*
**[12:06] ---**
*about being a member of Kara...*
**[12:08] ---**
*Ino!*
**[12:09] ---**
*I'm with Naruto and Dr. Katasuke right now...*
**[12:12] ---**
*Can you link everyone so we can talk?*
**[12:15] ---**
You make it sound like it's easy!
**[12:17] ---**
All right, just leave it to me.
**[12:19] ---**
You said your name was Amado, right?
**[12:22] ---**
I'll let you in on something.
**[12:23] ---**
Our Hokage is already back in action.
**[12:27] ---**
He's standing right next to me.
**[12:29] ---**
What?
**[12:30] ---**
His ability to recover is greater
than I had heard.
**[12:33] ---**
Is it the power of the Nine Tails?
**[12:35] ---**
That voice!
**[12:37] ---**
It's Amado!
**[12:38] ---**
What is he doing here?
**[12:39] ---**
I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage.
**[12:43] ---**
Tell me, what do you want with the Leaf?
**[12:46] ---**
Why if it isn't Lord Hokage.
**[12:48] ---**
I'm glad you're in good health.
**[12:51] ---**
This makes it worth risking
my life to come here.
**[12:56] ---**
Let me get to the point.
**[12:58] ---**
I, Amado...
**[13:01] ---**
wish to defect to the Leaf.
**[13:04] ---**
What?!
**[13:06] ---**
In return, I shall provide you with intel
**[13:10] ---**
*on Kara, Jigen...
the Ten Tails... and the Otsutsuki.*
**[13:14] ---**
*I'll share everything I know.*
**[13:20] ---**
The intel I possess should be
extremely beneficial to you.
**[13:27] ---**
If the Leaf accepts my defection,
**[13:30] ---**
then I shall offer all of it
to you willingly.
**[13:32] ---**
And of course, I will release Shikadai.
**[13:35] ---**
Now then, think it over and decide quickly.
**[13:40] ---**
Time isn't on our side.
**[13:42] ---**
Damn it!
**[13:43] ---**
There's no way we can trust him!
**[13:48] ---**
By defection,
**[13:49] ---**
does it mean he ran away from the Kara?
**[13:52] ---**
I don't know what happened,
**[13:55] ---**
but if he wants the Leaf to shelter him,
**[13:57] ---**
does it mean his life is in danger?
**[13:59] ---**
He ran away from Kara?
**[14:02] ---**
Amado's betrayed Kara?
**[14:04] ---**
This doesn't make any sense.
**[14:06] ---**
What is happening?
**[14:10] ---**
All right... Fine!
**[14:12] ---**
Sai, restrain Amado and bring him in.
**[14:15] ---**
I'll interrogate him at my office.
**[14:18] ---**
Naruto, are you serious?!
**[14:20] ---**
In order to save Shikadai,
we have no other choice.
**[14:24] ---**
There's no time to think about it.
**[14:26] ---**
We'll decide whether he's trustworthy or not
**[14:28] ---**
after listening to what he has to say.
**[14:31] ---**
I guess that means
you've prepared for the worst.
**[14:35] ---**
It's quite impressive you would
do this for a single shinobi.
**[14:38] ---**
I'm sure you already know,
but I'll say it anyway.
**[14:41] ---**
Don't do anything funny...
**[14:44] ---**
It won't end well for either of us.
**[14:47] ---**
Of course.
**[14:48] ---**
You won't regret this.
**[14:50] ---**
I promise you.
**[15:11] ---**
It's been quite a while, hasn't it?
**[15:14] ---**
What of your mission?
**[15:16] ---**
It's still in progress... Lord Jigen.
**[15:20] ---**
Even as we speak.
**[15:23] ---**
Have a seat.
**[15:25] ---**
Let's hear your report.
**[15:32] ---**
*Shikadai...*
**[15:45] ---**
You could offer your visitor
a cup of coffee at the very least.
**[15:49] ---**
It's going to be a long story,
**[15:51] ---**
so I'd like to clear my head before I start.
**[15:54] ---**
Don't push your luck.
**[15:56] ---**
Just be grateful you're sitting in a chair.
**[15:59] ---**
Didn't I tell you earlier that
restraining me is pointless?
**[16:03] ---**
If you want, I can blow up
Shikadai's head right now.
**[16:11] ---**
You bastard!
**[16:13] ---**
I'm gonna kill you!
**[16:17] ---**
Stop, Shikamaru!
**[16:18] ---**
What's that gonna accomplish?
**[16:20] ---**
This isn't like you!
**[16:26] ---**
Just get to the point,
**[16:29] ---**
before I run out of patience!
**[16:33] ---**
When it comes to your son,
you're just a father, huh?
**[16:38] ---**
The ex-general in you would be disappointed.
**[16:40] ---**
That's enough!
**[16:43] ---**
My patience won't last very long either.
**[16:48] ---**
What's with that bastard?
**[16:50] ---**
Does he have any intention of talking?!
**[16:52] ---**
I bet you this is all a trap!
**[16:55] ---**
Amado...
**[16:56] ---**
He's the head of Kara's Research
and Development Division.
**[17:00] ---**
It's not an exaggeration to say
**[17:02] ---**
that he knows everything about Kara.
**[17:04] ---**
Jigen's never granted him leave to go out.
**[17:09] ---**
The fact that he's here
**[17:10] ---**
is an act of treason
that will incur Jigen's wrath.
**[17:13] ---**
I bet Amado's come here prepared to die.
**[17:16] ---**
That's how I see it.
**[17:18] ---**
The head of R&D?
**[17:20] ---**
Does that mean he was the one
who modified your body?
**[17:24] ---**
Yeah... that's him.
**[17:28] ---**
And not just me.
**[17:29] ---**
Every one of the Kara's cyborgs
were created by him.
**[17:33] ---**
Amazing! So, he's the genius scientist!
**[17:36] ---**
I-If his defection is approved...
**[17:40] ---**
I'd love to have him exert
his skills at my lab!
**[17:46] ---**
Hold on a minute, Doctor!
**[17:47] ---**
But it would be to Kawaki's benefit too!
**[17:51] ---**
That's true, but...
**[17:54] ---**
*What the hell are you plotting...*
**[17:57] ---**
*Amado?!*
**[17:59] ---**
First, start sharing that intel of yours.
**[18:03] ---**
Even just a part of it is fine.
**[18:06] ---**
Whether we approve your request
for asylum or not comes after.
**[18:10] ---**
You're coming on quite strong,
aren't you, Lord Hokage?
**[18:13] ---**
Do you even care if Shikadai dies?
**[18:16] ---**
You won't do that.
**[18:18] ---**
There's no way.
**[18:20] ---**
If you did, our negotiations would
breakdown and you would die.
**[18:24] ---**
You wouldn't do that after coming this far.
**[18:27] ---**
If the Leaf turns me away,
I'll have nowhere to go.
**[18:31] ---**
Even if I manage to get away from here,
**[18:33] ---**
I could never escape from Jigen.
**[18:36] ---**
I'm dead either way.
**[18:38] ---**
You'll accept my demands, no matter what.
**[18:41] ---**
I still want to hear your story.
**[18:45] ---**
Don't worry.
**[18:47] ---**
I won't pull a dirty trick like
betraying you after we talk.
**[18:51] ---**
I give you my word as Hokage.
**[19:04] ---**
The Hokage, huh?
**[19:07] ---**
Fine.
**[19:09] ---**
Let's begin.
**[19:13] ---**
But before that...
**[19:15] ---**
I have a transmission from a friend.
**[19:17] ---**
What?!
**[19:19] ---**
Sorry, Shikamaru...
**[19:21] ---**
Could you put my glasses
on the edge of that table
**[19:24] ---**
and aim them towards that wall?
**[19:26] ---**
What did you say?
**[19:27] ---**
Don't worry!
**[19:29] ---**
I truly want this negotiation to go well.
**[19:34] ---**
So, hurry and do as I ask.
**[19:37] ---**
Shikamaru...
**[19:51] ---**
What's that?!
**[19:53] ---**
Something is being projected on the wall!
**[19:59] ---**
*Koji Kashin...*
**[20:00] ---**
*Is he the masked man that*
**[20:03] ---**
*Konohamaru said could use the Rasengan?!*
**[20:06] ---**
Koji Kashin.
**[20:08] ---**
He's my one and only collaborator
within Kara.
**[20:13] ---**
He is sharing what his Scout Toad
is seeing in real time.
**[20:20] ---**
This is in real time?
**[20:23] ---**
Where are they?
**[20:25] ---**
Just keep watching.
**[20:28] ---**
*You would never make a move
unless Amado wanted you to.*
**[20:33] ---**
*Which means you conspired
with him to crash that airship.*
**[20:39] ---**
*In order to let Kawaki escape...*
**[20:42] ---**
They let me escape?
**[20:44] ---**
Koji Kashin and Amado?!
**[20:46] ---**
What's going on?
**[20:54] ---**
It's Jigen!
**[20:56] ---**
That's Jigen?
**[20:58] ---**
I want to know your motives...
**[21:01] ---**
Both yours and Amado's.
**[21:03] ---**
What do you gain by revolting against me?
**[21:07] ---**
I'm very curious about that.
**[21:09] ---**
You pretend to act composed,
**[21:12] ---**
but you can't hide your ragged breathing.
**[21:15] ---**
What?

I won't kill you right away.
**[21:30] ---**
I'm going to make you spill everything first.
**[21:36] ---**
How impudent!
**[21:38] ---**
A Shadow Clone, huh?
**[21:40] ---**
My motive? It's quite simple.
**[21:46] ---**
Right from the very beginning...
**[21:49] ---**
I was created to kill you.
**[23:26] ---**
Created to kill me?
**[23:28] ---**
Indeed. That is my supreme objective.
**[23:31] ---**
And my reason for existing.
**[23:33] ---**
You're a pathetic man.
**[23:35] ---**
You're just Amado's creation.
A conveniently moveable pawn.
**[23:40] ---**
You're nothing more than
a tool being used by Amado.
**[23:43] ---**
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
**[23:46] ---**
"True Identity"
***SIGN*** TRUE IDENTITY
**[23:47] ---**
I'm fine with being a tool.
For that's what shinobi are!
