[00:11] ---
    Sorry, Shikamaru,
[00:13] ---
    could you put my glasses
    on the edge of that table
[00:16] ---
    and aim them towards that wall?
[00:45] ---
    You tasked me with the mission
    to bring Kawaki back.
[00:49] ---
    However...
[00:50] ---
    You hid the fact that you were capable of
[00:52] ---
    doing that yourself at any point.
[00:53] ---
    I'd like to hear from you... the reason why.
[00:58] ---
    Is it that odd?
[01:01] ---
    To send someone else to retrieve a parcel
[01:03] ---
    that I could claim anytime?
[01:07] ---
    In the first place,
[01:08] ---
    the timing of my action to
    transport Kawaki was intentional,
[01:12] ---
    in order to find the traitor.
[01:16] ---
    And as a result, Victor fell into your trap.
[01:19] ---
    He was just being used.
[01:22] ---
    As a cover by fools who
    had a plan to steal the Vessel.
[01:27] ---
    That's news to me.
[01:29] ---
    Don't play dumb,
[01:31] ---
    Koji Kashin...
[01:33] ---
    You would never make a move
    unless Amado wanted you to.
[01:37] ---
    Which means you conspired with him
    to crash that airship.
[01:43] ---
    In order to let Kawaki escape...
[01:49] ---
    What is this?
[01:51] ---
    They let me escape?
[01:53] ---
    Koji Kashin and Amado?!
[01:55] ---
    What's going on?
[01:57] ---
    Koji...
[01:59] ---
    I have no intention of blaming you
    for Kawaki's escape itself.
[02:03] ---
    I want to know your motives.
[02:06] ---
    Both yours and Amado's.
[02:08] ---
    What do you gain by revolting against me?
[02:12] ---
    I'm very curious about that.
[02:14] ---
    I thought all the Inners collectively agreed
[02:17] ---
    on obtaining the Chakra Fruit.
[02:19] ---
    So, what do you gain from
    trying to destroy that plan?
[02:28] ---
    Chakra Fruit?!
[02:30] ---
    You pretend to act composed,
[02:32] ---
    but you can't hide your ragged breathing.
[02:35] ---
    What?
[02:48] ---
    I won't kill you right away.
[02:50] ---
    I'm going to make you spill everything first.
[02:54] ---
    How impudent!
[02:55] ---
    A Shadow Clone, huh?
[02:57] ---
    My motive? It's quite simple.
[03:00] ---
    I have no interest in the Chakra Fruit.
[03:03] ---
    Right from the very beginning...
[03:05] ---
    I was created to kill you.
[03:11] ---
    What's going on?!
[03:13] ---
    Jigen was severely drained
    in that battle against you.
[03:18] ---
    This is the only opportunity
    we'll get to take him down.
[03:22] ---
    It's now or never.
SIGN    1\fad(170,500)\pos(551,269)}True Identity*
[05:00] ---
    To kill me?
[05:02] ---
    Indeed.
[05:04] ---
    That is my supreme objective.
[05:06] ---
    And my reason for existing.
[05:12] ---
    Wasn't he supposed to be your leader?
[05:16] ---
    Koji and I merely pretended
    to be one of them.
[05:19] ---
    All for our true motive...
    to take Jigen down.
[05:25] ---
    Reason for existing, eh?
[05:27] ---
    You're a pathetic man.
[05:29] ---
    No matter which way you put it,
[05:32] ---
    in the end, you're just Amado's creation.
[05:34] ---
    A conveniently moveable pawn.
[05:37] ---
    You're nothing more than a tool
    being used by Amado.
[05:42] ---
    I'm fine with being a tool.
[05:44] ---
    For that's what shinobi are!
[05:47] ---
    Fire Style: Flame Bombs!
[05:49] ---
    Rubbish!
[06:02] ---
    What an extremely unpleasant jutsu!
[06:09] ---
    Koji Kashin's fighting style...
[06:12] ---
    It's like—!
[06:23] ---
    Hey, what's going on?!
[06:25] ---
    It's probably a transmission failure.
[06:27] ---
    It will resume shortly.
[06:30] ---
    There's so much more
    that I need to explain to you.
[06:35] ---
    Let's continue this discussion.
[06:36] ---
    No more stupid tricks!
[06:39] ---
    It's best if you don't take us lightly.
[06:43] ---
    You're sure that Jigen is an Otsutsuki?
[06:47] ---
    It's more like he became an Otsutsuki.
[06:50] ---
    He was originally
    an ordinary human just like us.
[06:53] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[06:55] ---
    A little curious now?
[06:58] ---
    However, let me start by explaining
[07:01] ---
    exactly who and what the Otsutsuki are.
[07:07] ---
    They are invaders from another planet.
[07:10] ---
    Put simply, they are troublesome aliens.
[07:15] ---
    Troublesome aliens...
[07:18] ---
    They have only one goal.
[07:20] ---
    To devour the life of a planet.
[07:23] ---
    And they achieve that via extremely
    annoying gardening.
[07:27] ---
    Yes...
[07:28] ---
    The Divine Tree.
[07:29] ---
    Its roots grow deeply, reaching
    every corner of the planet.
[07:32] ---
    Just like the mold in your bathroom.
[07:36] ---
    And then, it sucks the chakra from
    all life living on that planet.
[07:40] ---
    Hey, so you're saying...
[07:43] ---
    You must surely all remember.
[07:45] ---
    Sixteen years ago,
    when the world was almost destroyed
[07:50] ---
    by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
[07:51] ---
    It's the same plan.
[07:53] ---
    The Infinite Tsukuyomi.
[07:54] ---
    What's critical is what happens after that.
[07:57] ---
    Once the Divine Tree finishes
    absorbing everything,
[07:59] ---
    it bears a large fruit.
[08:02] ---
    The Chakra Fruit?
[08:03] ---
    That's right.
[08:05] ---
    The Chakra Fruit is a cluster of
    tremendous energy and genetic data.
[08:09] ---
    By devouring it,
[08:10] ---
    the Otsutsuki are able to
    continuously update themselves...
[08:13] ---
    That is how their species evolves.
[08:16] ---
    This is totally fascinating!
[08:17] ---
    Why are you excited about this?
[08:19] ---
    Konohamaru wrote about it in his report too.
[08:23] ---
    The incident where Victor was
    planning to regrow the Divine Tree.
[08:26] ---
    That was something Victor did on his own.
[08:29] ---
    Although it's certainly true that
    Kara's aim was the Chakra Fruit.
[08:34] ---
    And it means that you belonged
    to them too, right?
[08:38] ---
    However, the actions that Koji and I took
[08:41] ---
    were in order to stop Jigen.
[08:44] ---
    I believe that deserves some consideration.
[08:51] ---
    What's wrong?
[08:52] ---
    Surely, you wouldn't succumb
    to this level of attack?
[08:56] ---
    I've been thinking of the reason
    why you tried to take Kawaki away.
[09:03] ---
    Away from my gaze,
[09:06] ---
    you investigated the Karma
    in order to find its weaknesses.
[09:11] ---
    Is that what it was?
[09:13] ---
    But you discovered that
    Boruto also has the Karma,
[09:16] ---
    so you changed plans and decided to
    hand him over to the Leaf.
[09:20] ---
    And that was because...
[09:22] ---
    We surmised that it was more advantageous
[09:23] ---
    in unraveling the mystery of the Karma.
[09:26] ---
    Although in handing over Kawaki,
    our secret weapon,
[09:29] ---
    we did take a gamble.
[09:33] ---
    Do you have proof that what you say is true?
[09:35] ---
    You're free to suspect me.
[09:38] ---
    However... Sasuke over there
    may have a different opinion.
[09:42] ---
    What are you trying to say?
[09:44] ---
    There should have been coordinates
    from the airship's data...
[09:48] ---
    to that place that can only be reached
[09:51] ---
    using Transportation Ninjutsu.
[09:53] ---
    Don't tell me you—!
[09:54] ---
    Yeah.
[09:55] ---
    I planted it there, in a way that
    would be easy for you all to find.
[10:00] ---
    We assumed that we would eventually
    need the Leaf's cooperation.
[10:04] ---
    And so, we wanted you
    to be aware in advance...
[10:08] ---
    of the Ten Tails' existence.
[10:11] ---
    The Ten Tails.
[10:12] ---
    He did talk about something
    like that in the past...
[10:15] ---
    Just what is it?
[10:16] ---
    They say the Ten Tails is a monster
[10:19] ---
    that wreaked havoc during
    the Fourth Great Ninja War.
[10:22] ---
    I've heard that it had power
    that was even greater than
[10:24] ---
    all nine Tailed Beasts put together.
[10:28] ---
    That's a different specimen
[10:29] ---
    from the Ten Tails
    you fought back in the past.
[10:31] ---
    Unfortunately, I don't know where
    this one came from.
[10:35] ---
    But the Otsutsuki always utilize a Ten Tails
[10:37] ---
    when they assault a planet.
[10:39] ---
    That's because Ten Tails itself
    becomes the Divine Tree.
[10:43] ---
    It's a seedling.
[10:45] ---
    First, they plant Ten Tails into the ground.
[10:47] ---
    It grows into the Divine Tree,
[10:49] ---
    consumes the planet and
    eventually bears the Chakra Fruit.
[10:53] ---
    Once the fruit is harvested,
[10:54] ---
    they have no further use for the planet.
[10:56] ---
    They move to another planet
    and repeat the same process.
[11:00] ---
    That's the Otsutsuki for you.
[11:06] ---
    So, the one who's attempting to do
    just that on this planet is Jigen?
[11:11] ---
    No, probably not.
[11:13] ---
    Jigen's not the one trying to do that.
[11:15] ---
    It's whoever put the Karma on Jigen.
[11:18] ---
    That's my guess.
[11:19] ---
    What?
[11:23] ---
    The Karma?
[11:34] ---
    They said if we insisted
    on staying with him...
[11:36] ---
    that we had to wear protective gear.
[11:39] ---
    Huh? Why do I have to wear
    that tacky thing?
[11:44] ---
    Right?
[11:45] ---
    There's no need to wear something like that.
[11:50] ---
    There's no way it will go off, right?
[11:54] ---
    You're right...
[11:56] ---
    Lord Seventh will settle this smoothly.
[11:58] ---
    I'm sure of it!
[12:08] ---
    You said before, Jigen
    used to be an ordinary human.
[12:13] ---
    He became an Otsutsuki
    because of the Karma, right?
[12:17] ---
    You're on the right track, Sasuke Uchiha.
[12:21] ---
    What does that mean?
[12:24] ---
    Talk.
[12:25] ---
    What exactly is the Karma?
[12:27] ---
    Yes...
[12:29] ---
    All this talk up to now was merely a preface.
[12:32] ---
    The important part starts now.
[13:05] ---
    It seems you're really serious
    about turning on me, Koji Kashin.
[13:12] ---
    I hope you're prepared to die.
[13:15] ---
    And I should say the same to you, Lord Jigen.
[13:19] ---
    Or rather, Isshiki Otsutsuki.
[13:23] ---
    Isshiki Otsutsuki?
[13:25] ---
    Yes. That is Jigen's true identity.
[13:28] ---
    Or rather, it would be more correct
    to say his real form.
[13:34] ---
    Isshiki Otsutsuki.
[13:36] ---
    He came to this planet long ago.
[13:40] ---
    Together with Kaguya Otsutsuki.
[13:43] ---
    What?!
[13:44] ---
    I mentioned their objective earlier
[13:47] ---
    was to plant the Divine Tree
    and harvest its Chakra Fruit.
[13:51] ---
    But then, a problem arose...
[13:53] ---
    Kaguya suddenly turned against Isshiki.
[13:57] ---
    I don't know her motives.
[13:59] ---
    Whether it was personal enmity,
[14:00] ---
    or wanting the fruit all to herself...
[14:02] ---
    There's no way to find out now
    after all this time,
[14:04] ---
    but what's important is
    that something happened.
[14:07] ---
    Caught off guard, Isshiki sustained
[14:08] ---
    life-threatening injuries
    and was on the verge of death.
[14:12] ---
    But he managed to take over
    the body of a novice monk
[14:14] ---
    who happened to be nearby and survived.
[14:16] ---
    The unfortunate man... was Jigen
[14:21] ---
    One question.
[14:22] ---
    Is that when Isshiki marked Jigen
    with a Karma?
[14:27] ---
    The Otsutsuki use the Karma
    to take over others' bodies.
[14:31] ---
    Isn't that right?
[14:33] ---
    Is that true, Amado?!
[14:35] ---
    Before we get into that,
[14:37] ---
    I think I'd like to hear
    your response soon, Lord Hokage.
[14:41] ---
    Will the Hidden Leaf grant me asylum or not?
[14:46] ---
    And I must make it clear...
[14:48] ---
    that I am formally requesting official asylum
[14:50] ---
    as outlined in the laws of the Land of Fire.
[14:53] ---
    And I would like it in writing.
[14:57] ---
    Fine.
[14:58] ---
    But the paperwork will have to wait.
[15:00] ---
    We're both short on time right now.
[15:03] ---
    A verbal agreement is enough for now.
[15:06] ---
    However, the bomb on Shikadai stays put
[15:09] ---
    until I have the paperwork in my hands.
[15:12] ---
    After all, it's the only form
    of insurance I have.
[15:16] ---
    Sorry, Shikamaru.
[15:17] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[15:19] ---
    Just continue!
[15:21] ---
    Sasuke's inference isn't far off the mark.
[15:24] ---
    Except, it's not quite that simple either.
[15:28] ---
    Let me explain using Boruto's case
    as an example.
[15:31] ---
    His Karma was embedded
    by Momoshiki Otsutsuki.
[15:34] ---
    So, then what exactly happened to Boruto?
[15:38] ---
    During the battle, Momoshiki
    converted himself into data,
[15:42] ---
    replicated himself and implanted
    that into Boruto's body.
[15:46] ---
    In short, Karma...
[15:49] ---
    is a highly compressed
    Otsutsuki back-up file.
[15:55] ---
    The compressed file slowly
    decompresses over time.
[15:59] ---
    It's even going on this very minute.
[16:03] ---
    And when all the data
    is fully decompressed...
[16:06] ---
    Boruto's body will be overwritten
    by Momoshiki's data.
[16:10] ---
    And Boruto himself
    will completely cease to exist.
[16:14] ---
    That's how the Otsutsuki accomplish rebirth.
[16:17] ---
    What the hell?!
[16:19] ---
    Is there a way to save him?
[16:21] ---
    How do we block the process?
[16:22] ---
    To my knowledge, there is no method.
[16:25] ---
    However, Momoshiki's revival...
[16:28] ---
    can be stopped if you kill Boruto right now.
[16:33] ---
    No way!
[16:35] ---
    I'm gonna become... Momoshiki?
[16:40] ---
    If Momoshiki does revive himself
    through Boruto's body,
[16:44] ---
    what happens to the Karma?
[16:46] ---
    Good question!
[16:48] ---
    Once decompressed,
[16:49] ---
    Momoshiki's data will dissipate
    throughout the entire body.
[16:51] ---
    In the same way a sugar cube
    dissolves when dropped into coffee,
[16:55] ---
    the Karma will disappear.
[16:58] ---
    That's odd.
[16:59] ---
    Isshiki Otsutsuki took over Jigen's body.
[17:03] ---
    However, the Karma remains on his chin.
[17:06] ---
    That's right!
[17:07] ---
    In the same vein as Boruto,
[17:10] ---
    the fact that Jigen's body
    still displays the Karma
[17:12] ---
    means Isshiki hasn't been
    revived yet, right?
[17:16] ---
    There are inconsistencies
    in your explanation.
[17:23] ---
    What's so funny, you bastard?!
[17:25] ---
    Stop, Shikamaru!
[17:27] ---
    I've been granted asylum.
[17:30] ---
    Should the Hokage's aide be
    raising a hand against a civilian?
[17:35] ---
    I'm not messing with you here.
[17:37] ---
    Sasuke made a very astute observation.
[17:40] ---
    However, there's a huge misunderstanding.
[17:43] ---
    Shikamaru.
[17:48] ---
    Continue.
[17:51] ---
    Isshiki did take over Jigen's body.
[17:54] ---
    However, he didn't do it through
    the method I explained,
[17:57] ---
    by using the Karma.
[17:59] ---
    What do you mean?
[18:01] ---
    The reason is simple.
[18:03] ---
    He was so weakened,
[18:05] ---
    he didn't have the strength to embed a Karma.
[18:08] ---
    So, Isshiki came up with a desperate plan.
[18:11] ---
    Using his Secret Jutsu, Sukunahikona,
[18:12] ---
    he shrank himself down
[18:15] ---
    and entered Jigen's body through the ear.
[18:19] ---
    He lives within Jigen's body,
    absorbing nutrients from it.
[18:24] ---
    Yes, just like a parasite.
[18:28] ---
    In time, he took control of Jigen's brain
[18:30] ---
    and was able to speak using Jigen's voice,
[18:34] ---
    move his arms and legs...
[18:35] ---
    and take over Jigen's body for good.
[18:38] ---
    Even now, Isshiki still physically
    exists inside Jigen's body.
[18:43] ---
    What a bastard!
[18:45] ---
    Isshiki embedded a Karma
    into Jigen's body afterward.
[18:50] ---
    In order to be reborn in his true form.
[19:11] ---
    Earth Style: Dark Swamp!
[19:22] ---
    I've got you now, Isshiki!
[19:25] ---
    I don't get it...
[19:26] ---
    If Jigen has a Karma,
[19:28] ---
    why doesn't Isshiki just hurry up
    and revive himself?
[19:32] ---
    That's a valid question.
[19:34] ---
    It's because the most important
    factor in embedding a Karma
[19:39] ---
    is selecting the right target.
[19:40] ---
    In other words, the selection of the Vessel.
[19:43] ---
    For unlucky Jigen,
    who just happened to be nearby...
[19:47] ---
    Isshiki's chakra was too powerful for him.
[19:51] ---
    Jigen's body is inadequate
    to be Isshiki's Vessel.
[19:56] ---
    It wouldn't be able to bear his chakra
[19:59] ---
    if Isshiki were to reincarnate
    in Jigen's body.
[20:01] ---
    He would probably die within a few days.
[20:04] ---
    Thus, Isshiki decided to pass on
    being reborn through Jigen,
[20:08] ---
    and began preparing a new Vessel.
[20:11] ---
    Isshiki's new Vessel...
[20:14] ---
    is Kawaki, isn't it?
[20:19] ---
    Hey, look.
[20:20] ---
    Oh. Seems the connection is back.
[20:31] ---
    Such a stupid trick.
[20:33] ---
    Do you think you can hold me with this?
[20:40] ---
    Oh, of course not.
[20:46] ---
    A Ritual Circle?
[20:48] ---
    Damn Koji! He used his Earth Style
    to set a Sealing Mark.
[20:51] ---
    Summoning Jutsu!
[21:01] ---
    I was wondering what you'd come up with...
[21:03] ---
    But flames this late in the game?
[21:07] ---
    What? I can't absorb them!
[21:10] ---
    Don't tell me these flames are—!

    How dare you—!

    We cannot let him be reborn in Kawaki's body.
[21:21] ---
    If he is able to revive in
    his full form completely,
[21:24] ---
    we won't be able to stop him.
[21:25] ---
    Meaning, it will be the end of this world.
[21:28] ---
    As long as the Karma is intact,
    the Otsutsuki will revive.
[21:31] ---
    They are beings who have
    managed to transcend death.
[21:35] ---
    But it's not like it's impossible.
[21:38] ---
    I'll teach all of you...
[21:42] ---
    how to kill an Otsutsuki.
[23:26] ---
    Do you have conclusive proof
    that you can take him down?

[23:33] ---
    That's exactly why
    this is the perfect moment.
[23:37] ---
    Jigen's body has reached its limit.
    It won't last much longer.
[23:41] ---
    I'm reaching the dregs of his chakra too!
