[00:21] ---
    Hard a-starboard!
[00:23] ---
    Steer to port!
[00:29] ---
    Can't you steer properly, you fool?!
[00:32] ---
    You need to get out of my way!
[00:37] ---
    Our army is on the offensive in this battle.
[00:40] ---
    The Funato appear to be
    pulling back one after another.
[00:42] ---
    Wow!
[00:42] ---
    Wow!
[00:50] ---
    Are you enjoying the bait, Hidden Mist?
[00:53] ---
    The enemy army has invaded
    the area of the sea
[00:55] ---
    just as we planned.
[00:57] ---
    Shall we retreat from battle?
[00:59] ---
    No, let's hold on just a little longer.
[01:03] ---
    War is just like fishing.
[01:05] ---
    The first one to get impatient loses.
[01:09] ---
    Understood.
[01:10] ---
    By the time they realize what's happened,
[01:12] ---
    they won't be able to
    remove the hook in their throat.
[01:16] ---
    No matter how hard they struggle!
SIGN    1\fad(270,500)\pos(538,266)}Where I Belong*
[02:54] ---
    Hmm...
[02:57] ---
    Hey!
[02:59] ---
    We're supposed to be returning
    to the Leaf today.
[03:01] ---
    What are you guys doing?
[03:04] ---
    We were concerned about the piece of paper
[03:06] ---
    the Funato left behind yesterday.
[03:10] ---
    Did you find out anything more about it?
[03:11] ---
    They're just meaningless words
    written with no rhyme or reason.
[03:14] ---
    It's impossible to know what it's about.
[03:16] ---
    I checked, and it doesn't seem
    like there's anything hidden,
[03:19] ---
    like a watermark or
    something in invisible ink.
[03:20] ---
    I can't help but think
    something important is written here.
[03:25] ---
    I wonder what they were trying
    to tell their friends?
[03:31] ---
    Maybe you're overthinking it.
[03:33] ---
    They probably just scribbled random things
[03:36] ---
    and did some origami to pass the time.
[03:39] ---
    If that were the case,
    we wouldn't be struggling.
[03:42] ---
    Could it be?!
[03:43] ---
    What's the matter?!
[03:46] ---
    I had a feeling there might be
    a pattern to the creases.
[03:56] ---
    The secret message is revealed
    when you fold up the paper.
[04:03] ---
    See, I told you so!
[04:05] ---
    What...?
[04:06] ---
    What does the secret message say?!
[04:10] ---
    They got us!
[04:19] ---
    No matter how many powerful players
    the Funato have on their side,
[04:21] ---
    they can't win in a head-to-head war
    against the Hidden Mist.
[04:24] ---
    But the Funato were the ones
    who challenged them to the battle
[04:28] ---
    that's happening in
    the northeastern seas, right?
[04:30] ---
    Why would they fight such
    a reckless battle?
[04:34] ---
    The battle in the northeastern sea
    is just a diversion, eh?
[04:38] ---
    This message orders
    an elite squad of Funato
[04:41] ---
    to launch a sneak attack
    on the Hidden Mist Village.
[04:45] ---
    Furthermore, they've hidden their intent...
[04:48] ---
    by avoiding traveling there by sea
[04:50] ---
    and going through this mountainous area
[04:52] ---
    which would normally be difficult for them.
[04:54] ---
    Can Mr. Chojuro and the others
    make it back in time
[04:56] ---
    from the northeastern seas?
[04:58] ---
    Even if they hurry back, at this point...
[05:01] ---
    Who's protecting the village?
[05:02] ---
    Since they've concentrated
    on the northeastern seas,
[05:05] ---
    they've only got the bare minimum
    of staff present.
[05:08] ---
    They won't last very long
    against an elite squad of Funato.
[05:12] ---
    That's not good!
[05:14] ---
    Anyway, even if it's just us,
[05:16] ---
    we need to head to
    the Hidden Mist Village immediately!
[05:18] ---
    I appreciate the sentiment...
[05:20] ---
    but I can't allow any of you to
    get further involved in this conflict.
[05:25] ---
    Huh? What are you saying at this point?
[05:27] ---
    Don't you get it?
[05:29] ---
    This is a war!
[05:32] ---
    Until now, we were safe under the pretext
[05:35] ---
    of saving Denki's team and
    the researchers from the Leaf,
[05:38] ---
    but from here on out, it's different.
[05:40] ---
    This only involves the Land of Water
    and the Hidden Mist Village.
[05:44] ---
    Do you think we can abandon the Hidden Mist
[05:46] ---
    and just return to our village?!
[05:50] ---
    You're right.
[05:51] ---
    Sarada!
[05:52] ---
    As Hidden Leaf chunin,
[05:54] ---
    we cannot allow our ally,
    the Hidden Mist Village, to fall.
[05:57] ---
    We will assist you.
[06:00] ---
    As a special advisor
    of the Hidden Mist, I am grateful.
[06:03] ---
    Naturally, as your friend, as well.
[06:08] ---
    I'd like all of you to help as well...
[06:11] ---
    Please.
[06:12] ---
    I refuse.
[06:15] ---
    We were worked to the bone
[06:17] ---
    for a meager three-year sentence reduction.
[06:20] ---
    Our work's worth more than that.
[06:24] ---
    What are your terms?
[06:25] ---
    Well, that's a no-brainer.
[06:28] ---
    We want complete acquittal
    in exchange for our participation.
[06:32] ---
    We won't accept anything less.
[06:36] ---
    Understood.
[06:38] ---
    If this mission is a success,
    I will make sure you go free.
[06:42] ---
    That's probably just
    another verbal promise...
[06:45] ---
    This time, I shall personally negotiate
    with Lord Chojuro.
[06:49] ---
    Is that all right with you, Hebiichigo?
[06:52] ---
    I'm not completely satisfied,
    but we have no choice.
[06:55] ---
    But defending the village
[06:58] ---
    from an elite squad of Funato
    with this few people
[07:00] ---
    is like asking them to murder us.
[07:04] ---
    I have a plan.
[07:05] ---
    We'll get the jump on them
[07:07] ---
    before they reach the Hidden Mist Village.
[07:09] ---
    The route the enemy plans on taking
[07:11] ---
    goes through this rugged mountainous area.
[07:13] ---
    There are only a handful
    of pathways through it.
[07:16] ---
    Also, no matter which route they take,
[07:17] ---
    they have to pass a certain
    small village along the way.
[07:21] ---
    I see!
[07:22] ---
    So, if we set up a defensive base there...
[07:25] ---
    Yeah. We'll be able to use
    the terrain to our advantage.
[07:28] ---
    Paths through a mountainous area
    will be narrow,
[07:31] ---
    so that should make up
    for our lack of numbers...
[07:33] ---
    That makes sense.
    What a well-thought-out plan!
[07:36] ---
    That aside, I'm surprised you knew
    there was a village there.
[07:40] ---
    Well, I have my reasons.
[07:43] ---
    Let's hurry.
[07:45] ---
    We absolutely cannot afford to
    let the Funato take down that village!
[07:53] ---
    I'm counting on you to deliver
    the message to Lord Chojuro.
[07:56] ---
    I‘ll inform him immediately about
    the sneak attack on the village.
[08:00] ---
    When the ship arrives,
[08:02] ---
    we'll take the evacuees to
    a safe location within the Hidden Mist.
[08:05] ---
    We're grateful for the Leaf's cooperation.
[08:08] ---
    Likewise, we're thankful for your help!
[08:11] ---
    We're going to be dropped off
    near the Land of Fire.
[08:15] ---
    We'll meet up with Dr. Katasuke
    in the Hidden Mist Village
[08:18] ---
    along the way.
[08:20] ---
    Please deliver our message to Lord Seventh!
[08:23] ---
    Yes. We shall inform him that
    you've had a change of plans
[08:25] ---
    and will be taking part in defending
    the Hidden Mist Village.
[08:29] ---
    Please be careful and
    make it back home safely!
[08:33] ---
    Yes!
[08:34] ---
    He just abandoned what he was doing!
[08:36] ---
    Where did Boruto go?!
[08:38] ---
    Our ship's fully repaired,
[08:39] ---
    so it seems he's gone to
    the dock to personally retrieve it...
[08:42] ---
    Since this also means
    we won't be seeing Ikada again...
[08:47] ---
    Ikada's gone?!
[08:49] ---
    What happened?
[08:52] ---
    I searched his house,
[08:55] ---
    but I haven't seen him since last night.
[08:57] ---
    Last night?
[08:59] ---
    You don't think the Funato got him, do you?
[09:01] ---
    I haven't heard anything like that.
[09:04] ---
    We were also attacked here,
[09:06] ---
    but we managed to settle things
    without incident.
[09:08] ---
    I just hope he's safe.
[09:13] ---
    That said, there's no way Ikada
    would ever run away
[09:16] ---
    from his ship-building training!
[09:18] ---
    He loves boats so much.
[09:40] ---
    He even left behind his precious idea journal.
[09:43] ---
    Where did he go?
[10:40] ---
    Is that the village that's going
    to be our defensive base?
[10:42] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[10:48] ---
    Aren't you—?!
[10:50] ---
    Well, if it isn't Kagura!
[10:53] ---
    You came back!
[10:55] ---
    Well, just for a little bit...
[10:58] ---
    How've you been?
[11:02] ---
    What is it?
[11:04] ---
    It's been a while since I've seen you two!
[11:07] ---
    Yeah!
[11:07] ---
    That's true.
[11:08] ---
    What's this about?
[11:09] ---
    Actually, this is my childhood village.
[11:12] ---
    I have lots of memories here.
[11:14] ---
    Oh, man! Look at you,
    all grown up and respectable!
[11:17] ---
    I'll bet he still has marks
[11:19] ---
    from all the spankings he got for his pranks!
[11:21] ---
    Of course not!
[11:24] ---
    I can't believe Kagura was like that
    when he was little!
[11:28] ---
    It's quite unexpected.
[11:29] ---
    So, why are you back in the village?
[11:33] ---
    About that...
[11:39] ---
    The Funato are coming to our village?!
[11:41] ---
    That's right.
[11:42] ---
    Considering the route they're taking...
[11:44] ---
    they'll have to pass through here.
[11:46] ---
    When they do, this village won't be safe...
[11:49] ---
    What should we do?
[11:52] ---
    Hmm...
[11:54] ---
    Let's strengthen the village's defenses
    as soon as possible!
[11:56] ---
    I want everyone in town to help us.
[11:58] ---
    Yeah!
[11:59] ---
    Since it's coming from you,
    everyone here will definitely help!
[12:04] ---
    That's right!
[12:05] ---
    Naturally!
[12:09] ---
    Even if we strengthen the village's defenses,
[12:11] ---
    I think it's still going to be difficult
    to fight an elite squad of Funato.
[12:16] ---
    In order for the Funato
    to get to the Hidden Mist,
[12:18] ---
    they'll have to take a path
    that runs past this village.
[12:22] ---
    When they do, I want to hit them
    with everything we've got.
[12:24] ---
    I noticed it on the way here,
[12:26] ---
    but that path splits into three,
    earlier down the road, doesn't it?
[12:29] ---
    Yeah.
[12:30] ---
    One of those paths runs through
    a narrow ravine-like area.
[12:35] ---
    If we can force them there,
[12:37] ---
    I'm sure the enemy will have
    a difficult time maneuvering.
[12:40] ---
    That's not a bad idea.
[12:42] ---
    If I'm not mistaken,
[12:44] ---
    you have to cross bridges
    on the other two paths.
[12:47] ---
    I see.
[12:48] ---
    If we take down those two bridges,
[12:50] ---
    the enemy will have no choice
    but to take the path through the ravine.
[12:54] ---
    Team 7, Buntan and Kyoho,
[12:57] ---
    I want you to strengthen
    the village's defenses.
[12:59] ---
    And I want Team 5 and Hebiichigo
    to destroy the bridges.
[13:02] ---
    I'll go check on what needs to be done.
[13:03] ---
    Understood!
[13:03] ---
    Understood!
[13:39] ---
    Thanks for earlier.
[13:40] ---
    Huh?
[13:41] ---
    You told us about the bridges, remember?
[13:44] ---
    We locked down our strategy, thanks to you!
[13:48] ---
    It's reassuring to have you on our side.
[13:50] ---
    Though it was awful when you weren't!
[13:57] ---
    I told you to let go of me!
[13:58] ---
    Big Brother!
[14:00] ---
    Was that Kawaki?
[14:01] ---
    Big Brother!
[14:01] ---
    Big Brother!
[14:03] ---
    Don't touch me!
[14:06] ---
    What's that about?
[14:07] ---
    It seems he's quite popular.
[14:09] ---
    Your hair's so interesting!
[14:12] ---
    Just go away!
[14:14] ---
    Hey, Big Brother, you're a shinobi, aren't you?
[14:16] ---
    Damn it! What's going on here?
[14:18] ---
    Come to think of it,
[14:19] ---
    Himawari took a strange liking
    to him as well.
[14:26] ---
    It's run down, but it looks sturdier
    than we first thought, huh?
[14:30] ---
    Just leave this to me.
[14:33] ---
    My, my... You seem quite confident.
[14:51] ---
    Come on. Let us head to the next bridge!
[14:56] ---
    Metal...
[15:00] ---
    Your butt...
[15:02] ---
    My butt?
[15:04] ---
    W-What?
[15:17] ---
    Ow!
[15:18] ---
    I can't stand watching this.
[15:20] ---
    Huh? Miss Hebiichigo?
[15:23] ---
    Give it to me!
[15:24] ---
    Oh, okay.
[15:31] ---
    You are quite skilled at sewing.
[15:34] ---
    I enjoy doing this,
    almost as much as killing people.
[15:37] ---
    If I didn't wield a sword,
    I might have held a needle.
[15:45] ---
    Do you really think we can win?
[15:49] ---
    Against an elite squad of Funato
    with so few of us?
[15:52] ---
    Yes! I think we can do it!
[15:55] ---
    Let us all do our best!
[15:57] ---
    You are so happy-go-lucky...
[15:59] ---
    Pull!
[16:04] ---
    This is going well.
[16:06] ---
    It looks like we'll finish
    before the Funato get here.
[16:17] ---
    Blockade construction is going smoothly.
[16:20] ---
    Thank you.
[16:21] ---
    I received word that the destruction
    of the bridges is also going well.
[16:25] ---
    Hey, you have many memories
    of living in this village
[16:28] ---
    when you were little, right?
[16:32] ---
    Tell me a story from back then.
[16:34] ---
    What were you doing so deep
    in the mountains anyway?
[16:38] ---
    You know about my grandfather,
    Yagura Karatachi, don't you?
[16:42] ---
    Yeah.
[16:43] ---
    He was the Fourth Mizukage and,
    if I'm not mistaken,
[16:45] ---
    I heard the village was terrified of him.
[16:48] ---
    Because I was his grandson,
[16:50] ---
    there was no place for me in the village.
[17:05] ---
    I was moved to this village
[17:06] ---
    because there was no way
    to guarantee my safety.
[17:18] ---
    Back then, there was no one
    I could let my guard down with...
[17:21] ---
    besides my sword.
[17:25] ---
    That's practically like getting banished
    to a remote island!
[17:28] ---
    That's no way to treat a kid!
[17:31] ---
    That's the way things were during that time.
[17:33] ---
    I'd like to put up more blockades,
[17:35] ---
    but we don't have any more logs.
[17:37] ---
    Kyoho should be chopping down
    trees in the forest.
[17:39] ---
    It seems even Kyoho is having difficulty
    chopping down enough logs
[17:43] ---
    to surround this village all by himself.
[17:45] ---
    Perhaps we should go help him.
[17:55] ---
    But does this place really
    hold precious memories for you,
[17:57] ---
    even after all that happened?
[18:00] ---
    This tree is that very reason.
[18:09] ---
    You're so slow!
[18:10] ---
    Hurry up!
[18:18] ---
    Wait, Iwana!
[18:19] ---
    What are you doing?
[18:27] ---
    Why aren't you running away from me?
[18:33] ---
    Aren't you afraid of me?
[18:36] ---
    Why would we run away?
[18:38] ---
    Oh, I know!
[18:41] ---
    You're "it"!
[18:43] ---
    Make sure you count to ten!
[18:44] ---
    Run away!
[18:44] ---
    Run away!
[18:49] ---
    Hurry, hurry!
[18:58] ---
    Hey, are you all by yourself?
[19:00] ---
    Umm... I...
[19:05] ---
    Well... um...
[19:06] ---
    Where are you going?
[19:08] ---
    What?
[19:11] ---
    Let's get this done together!
[19:14] ---
    Oh...
[19:16] ---
    Despite knowing who I was,
[19:17] ---
    the people of this village
    treated me normally.
[19:21] ---
    Back then, that made me
    happier than anything.
[19:28] ---
    I won't let the Funato reach this village.
[19:31] ---
    And I will do whatever it takes
    to protect it.
[19:34] ---
    Even if it costs me my life.
[19:45] ---
    All right, we're done!
[19:47] ---
    You're really powerful, aren't ya?
[19:50] ---
    I'm surprised.
[19:52] ---
    Once the battle with the Funato is over,
[19:54] ---
    I'd like you to help me with some work
    up in the mountains for the village!
[20:01] ---
    Indeed, this village might
    become a battlefield tomorrow.
[20:07] ---
    However, by the time
    that tree grows even bigger,
[20:11] ---
    this village won't be a battlefield,
    but rather a symbol of peace.
[20:16] ---
    No, I'll make sure it happens!
[20:19] ---
    Yeah, that's for sure.
[20:31] ---
    Reporting in.
[20:32] ---
    We are advancing smoothly.
[20:34] ---
    By tomorrow morning,
    we will cross the bridge as planned.
[20:37] ---
    Currently, there is no sign of enemies.
[20:40] ---
    For the sake of Lady Seiren,
    we shall take down the Hidden Mist.
[20:46] ---
    It's been two days since
    Lady Seiren was injured.
[20:50] ---
    Swear upon the Funato's insignia!
[20:56] ---
    Our blood isn't enough.
[20:59] ---
    This insignia demands
    the blood of the Hidden Mist!
[21:04] ---
    We finished taking down both bridges!
[21:06] ---
    Good job!
[21:08] ---
    Did everything go okay?
[21:09] ---
    It was easy!
[21:11] ---
    Thanks for your hard work.
[21:13] ---
    You're quite trusting, aren't you?
[21:16] ---
    I tried to take your life, and yet...
[21:18] ---
    you allow me to walk freely.
[21:21] ---
    It was only an attempt, so it's not serious.
[21:25] ---
    I believe in you.
[21:27] ---
    I believe that you can change...
[21:30] ---
    However many times...
[21:34] ---
    You're really too trusting.
[21:50] ---
    Come at us, anytime!

    Hebiichigo, I heard you tried to kill Kagura.
[23:30] ---
    Were you planning on running away?
[23:32] ---
    But after all we did,
[23:35] ---
    they were only going to take off three years!
[23:37] ---
    That's why we have to win this fight
    and get a complete acquittal.
[23:42] ---
    If we escape at this point,
    we'll be hunted for the rest of our lives.
