**[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—!*
**[21:15] ---**
How dare you—!
**[21:18] ---**
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] ---**

**[21:38] ---**
I'll teach all of you...
**[21:42] ---**
how to kill an Otsutsuki.

Do you have conclusive proof
that you can take him down?

Jigen was severely drained
in that battle against you,

and he hasn't fully recovered.
**[23:33] ---**
That's exactly why
this is the perfect moment.
**[23:37] ---**

It won't last much longer.
**[23:41] ---**
I'm reaching the dregs of his chakra too!
