[00:09] ---
    Great job today, trip leader.
[00:12] ---
    Iwabe, don't go running off
    on your own anymore.
[00:17] ---
    Damn it, getting involved
    with that weird guy…
[00:20] ---
    If we weren't around,
    there would've been a fight for sure.
[00:24] ---
    Sorry about that.
[00:26] ---
    Some people in town don't like
    having outsiders coming around.
[00:31] ---
    No worries.
[00:33] ---
    There are guys like
    that everywhere.
[00:35] ---
    Another guy who looked pretty strong
    stepped in and stopped him.
[00:39] ---
    Looked strong?
[00:41] ---
    Hey, hey…
[00:42] ---
    Never mind that.
    Where are we going next?
[00:46] ---
    Oh…
[00:47] ---
    I'm going to take you
    to meet someone.
[00:50] ---
    Someone? Is he handsome?
[00:54] ---
    Oh, c'mon, Cho-Cho!
[00:59] ---
    Oh…
[01:04] ---
    My, so many cute visitors.
[01:11] ---
    This is Lady Mei,
    the previous Mizukage.
[01:14] ---
    She was part of the war effort towards
    the end of the Great Ninja War,
[01:17] ---
    and later,
[01:18] ---
    helped lay the foundation for
    the village's growth and expansion.
[01:22] ---
    Enough already.
    That was all in the past.
[01:27] ---
    It's now the era for
    young people like you, not us.
[01:34] ---
    Right, Kagura?
[01:38] ---
    No, I…
[01:44] ---
    Okay, we're here.
[01:48] ---
    Excuse us.
[01:52] ---
    CONTRACT
    
    KAGE
[02:04] ---
    They're here.
[02:06] ---
    Thank you very much.
[02:10] ---
    It's nice to meet you.
[02:12] ---
    I am Chojuro,
    the current Mizukage.
[02:15] ---
    Thank you for traveling so far
    from the Hidden Leaf Village
[02:18] ---
    to the Hidden Mist Village.
[02:20] ---
    I welcome you all.
[03:53] ---
    The Mizukage's Successor
    
    And so, we agreed to
    host your field trip…
[03:58] ---
    believing that it will promote
    development between our villages
[04:02] ---
    and strengthen goodwill.
[04:04] ---
    Peace has been achieved,
    but in reality,
[04:06] ---
    – Pay attention!
    – there are some shinobi who still look upon
[04:08] ---
    – I know, but…
    – other villages as hostile entities.
[04:10] ---
    Basically,
[04:12] ---
    – all he wants to say is let's get along, right?
    – But through this field trip,
[04:13] ---
    – But he's rambling on and on…
    – we hope those feelings will change…
[04:16] ---
    Hey, c'mon!
[04:18] ---
    It's like we're back in class.
    I'm not good with stuff like this…
[04:26] ---
    What I mean is…um…
[04:28] ---
    It quite all right.
[04:29] ---
    It's quite tiresome, isn't it?
[04:31] ---
    I think so too.
[04:34] ---
    Huh?
[04:37] ---
    He's right.
[04:39] ---
    All I really mean is,
    let's all get along.
[04:42] ---
    And yet, in order to
    express something so simple,
[04:44] ---
    a long, dragged out speech
    is necessary…
[04:48] ---
    for us adults.
[04:50] ---
    That's because our villages
    were once foes…
[04:54] ---
    And we once caused
    so much bloodshed that
[04:58] ---
    we were once called
    the Blood Mist Village.
[05:02] ---
    However, you are different.
[05:07] ---
    You have faith that tragic histories
    like ours can be overcome easily,
[05:12] ---
    and that a new future
    can be forged.
[05:19] ---
    Please get along with
    the Hidden Mist.
[05:23] ---
    And…
[05:24] ---
    please enjoy yourselves
    and have lots of fun!
[05:27] ---
    – Yes!
    – Yes!
[05:31] ---
    Oh man, I totally got flustered—
[05:33] ---
    Come on!
[05:33] ---
    The trip leader shouldn't dawdle!
[05:36] ---
    I know!
[05:45] ---
    Oh, hold on, Kagura.
[05:47] ---
    Yes, what is it?
[05:49] ---
    Will you consider trying again?
[05:54] ---
    My speech earlier was
    aimed at you.
[05:56] ---
    I want someone like you to build
    a future with the Hidden Leaf.
[06:03] ---
    In time, I want to pass it on to you.
[06:11] ---
    I'm not suited to leading the village.
[06:16] ---
    I must escort the students,
    so if you'll excuse me…
[06:27] ---
    Wow! It's so amazing!
[06:36] ---
    Please wait here while
    I check us in.
[06:39] ---
    Then I'll take you around
    our village's notable sites.
[06:45] ---
    He seems like a man who
    has great prospects for the future.
[06:49] ---
    Huh? Are you talking about Kagura?
[06:51] ---
    Who else would I
    be talking about?
[06:54] ---
    He's considerate towards others
    and he's competent!
[06:58] ---
    Kagura Karatachi…
[07:00] ---
    He became a Hidden Mist Chunin
    two years ago.
[07:04] ---
    It seems he's a close aide
    to the Sixth Mizukage.
[07:07] ---
    You sure know a lot!
[07:09] ---
    It's just some things I heard
    when I was in the Hidden Sound…
[07:11] ---
    And? Anything else?
[07:13] ---
    He's been chosen as a successor for
[07:15] ---
    the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen
    of the Mist.
[07:18] ---
    And to be the successor of
    the current Mizukage's sword, Hiramekarei.
[07:23] ---
    What?!
[07:24] ---
    You mean, the Seven Ninja
    Swordsmen of the Mist.
[07:27] ---
    What's that?
[07:29] ---
    You really have no interest
    in history, don't you?
[07:32] ---
    What a drag…
[07:34] ---
    Listen up.
[07:35] ---
    There are Seven Hidden Mist
    Shinobi Swords
[07:38] ---
    passed down since
    the First Mizukage.
[07:40] ---
    The shinobi who are able to
    wield these mystical swords
[07:45] ---
    are known as the Seven Ninja
    Swordsmen of the Mist.
[07:48] ---
    From what I've heard…
[07:49] ---
    Together, they are ninja capable
    of bringing down an entire nation.
[07:53] ---
    So among the Leaf,
[07:55] ---
    we're talking about someone of
    Advisor Kakashi's class?
[07:58] ---
    Well, they're monsters…
[08:00] ---
    Hmm… that guy, huh?
[08:04] ---
    Then his future is picture perfect.
[08:07] ---
    Finally, a man worthy
    of courting me!
[08:12] ---
    Judging by titles,
    Boruto's just like him.
[08:16] ---
    Titles are just titles, after all!
[08:21] ---
    Potato chips are simply fried potatoes.
[08:24] ---
    But they all taste different!
[08:28] ---
    Thanks for waiting!
[08:30] ---
    First, I'll show you around
    the Hidden Mist Academy.
[08:51] ---
    One point!
[08:52] ---
    As expected! The Hidden Mist
    has an amazing sword style!
[08:56] ---
    Yeah…
[08:56] ---
    On top of that, they're sparring
    on the unstable water surface.
[09:00] ---
    That's crazy!
[09:02] ---
    I'll say.
[09:05] ---
    – Thank you very much!
    – Thank you very much!
[09:07] ---
    What did you think?
[09:09] ---
    That was amazing, ya know!
[09:11] ---
    We do taijutsu too,
[09:13] ---
    but our kenjutsu is
    nowhere near this.
[09:16] ---
    Would you like to
    take part in a match?
[09:18] ---
    Huh? Is that okay?
[09:20] ---
    Kagura…
[09:21] ---
    Yes.
[09:23] ---
    Please be his partner.
[09:25] ---
    B-But…
[09:27] ---
    You are both shinobi.
[09:28] ---
    To become friends,
[09:30] ---
    knowing each other's strengths
    isn't a bad idea.
[09:33] ---
    Yeah, let's do it!
[09:40] ---
    Well, in that case…
[09:45] ---
    Do you want the match
    to be on land?
[09:48] ---
    Since we're in the Mist,
    I'll go with the flow.
[09:51] ---
    I'll manage somehow.
[09:55] ---
    Okay, I'm ready!
[09:57] ---
    Way to go, Boruto!
[09:58] ---
    He's a natural when
    it comes to things like this.
[10:01] ---
    Go, Boruto!
[10:06] ---
    Ready, begin!
[10:19] ---
    I-I can't find a single opening.
[10:22] ---
    Damn it.
[10:23] ---
    Why doesn't he attack?
[10:26] ---
    He can't.
[10:29] ---
    Over the generations,
[10:30] ---
    it's the strongest shinobi
    who becomes the Mizukage.
[10:33] ---
    The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are
    the ones closest to that rank.
[10:36] ---
    I see…
[10:37] ---
    So being chosen as
    a Seven Ninja Swordsmen means
[10:40] ---
    you're already close to
    the strongest shinobi, huh?
[10:44] ---
    Go for it, Boruto!
[10:46] ---
    Boruto…
[11:01] ---
    At this point,
    it's sink or swim!
[11:22] ---
    Iwabe?
[11:25] ---
    Whoa… Damn it.
[11:27] ---
    You totally got me.
[11:30] ---
    You're strong, Kagura!
[11:36] ---
    Huh? What's the matter?
[11:44] ---
    Oh, nothing…
[11:46] ---
    Thank you.
[11:49] ---
    But if ninjutsu had been allowed,
    who knows.
[11:51] ---
    Tsk…
[11:52] ---
    Your face says that
    it took no effort at all.
[11:54] ---
    Not at all!
[11:56] ---
    The current favored me, that's all.
[11:58] ---
    He's so cool!
[11:59] ---
    It's no wonder you're a candidate
[12:01] ---
    to become one of
    the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
[12:03] ---
    There's no one else, right?
[12:06] ---
    So, is the next Mizukage
    going to be you, Kagura?
[12:12] ---
    What's the matter, Kagura?
[12:13] ---
    Oh! Nothing!
[12:16] ---
    There's no way I deserve to
    become the Mizukage…
[12:20] ---
    Right now, my duty comes first.
[12:24] ---
    – Aw… so cool.
    – He's so cool!
[12:26] ---
    Okay, we'll be taking
    an afternoon break on the beach,
[12:29] ---
    so let's head to
    the memorial park.
[12:41] ---
    GRILLED SQUID
    
[12:45] ---
    Pops, I'd like one of these.
[12:47] ---
    Here you go!
[12:50] ---
    Just one is fine.
[12:52] ---
    Share it with your friends.
[12:54] ---
    You traveled here
    from far away, didn't you?
[12:58] ---
    Thanks!
[13:00] ---
    Huh? Where'd everyone go?
[13:03] ---
    Oh well…
[13:06] ---
    So good!
[13:16] ---
    Here.
[13:18] ---
    What is it?
[13:20] ---
    Squid. It's good.
[13:22] ---
    I wasn't talking about that…
[13:24] ---
    The guy at the shop
    gave it to me.
[13:27] ---
    The scenery is nice,
    the people are kind…
[13:30] ---
    This is a great place, isn't it?
[13:32] ---
    Don't talk with your mouth full.
[13:35] ---
    Didn't your mom teach you that?
[13:37] ---
    You want it or not?
[13:38] ---
    I just said…
[13:43] ---
    I'll take it!
[13:56] ---
    Oh! So good!
[13:57] ---
    Right?
[13:59] ---
    I'm so glad.
[14:01] ---
    To be honest,
[14:02] ---
    I wasn't sure if something
    so simple would suit your tastes.
[14:06] ---
    Our village is surrounded
    by mountains and forests.
[14:09] ---
    So this is super delicious!
[14:12] ---
    Uh-huh!
[14:13] ---
    I see.
[14:14] ---
    I'd like to visit one day.
[14:16] ---
    There's nothing there.
    It's just countryside.
[14:25] ---
    Until a few years ago,
    this place had nothing either.
[14:29] ---
    Really?
[14:30] ---
    Yes.
[14:32] ---
    It was a poor fishing village
    with so little
[14:33] ---
    that it could stick
    to the sea breeze.
[14:36] ---
    Not just here…
[14:37] ---
    The entire village was poor.
[14:41] ---
    But it all changed when
    Lord Chojuro took over.
[14:45] ---
    He made life more prosperous
    for everyone.
[14:49] ---
    You must love
    the current village, Kagura.
[14:53] ---
    Yes.
[14:55] ---
    And that's why…
[14:58] ---
    we must never go back
    to the era
[15:01] ---
    when we were known as
    the Blood Mist Village.
[15:23] ---
    Long ago, when we were
    known as the Blood Mist,
[15:28] ---
    we were forced to kill each other
    during our graduation exam.
[15:34] ---
    It was during
    the Fourth Mizukage's era.
[15:38] ---
    It's said that a day never
    went by without bloodshed.
[15:42] ---
    Our past was gruesome.
[15:47] ---
    But today, the Blood Mist has
    become the Hidden Mist.
[15:50] ---
    The bloodshed of the past—
[15:51] ---
    But…
[15:53] ---
    was it really that long ago?
[15:56] ---
    Iwabe…?
[15:58] ---
    I mean, my grandfather fought with
    Yagura Karatachi, the Fourth Mizukage,
[16:02] ---
    and was killed…
[16:07] ---
    That's the shinobi world…
[16:09] ---
    Things like that happen.
[16:11] ---
    But my dad often said
[16:12] ---
    he'd never forgive the Hidden Mist
    for killing my grandpa.
[16:18] ---
    It's not a story from the past.
[16:20] ---
    It's about people
    who are alive today too.
[16:23] ---
    Even us…
    We got caught up in it earlier today.
[16:28] ---
    I'm sorry.
[16:29] ---
    Why are you apologizing?
[16:33] ---
    That's what irritates me
    about you.
[16:36] ---
    I won't let anyone gloss over
    the past like nothing happened,
[16:39] ---
    but why are you sorry
    when you weren't even there?
[16:42] ---
    Are you messing with us?!
[16:43] ---
    Same as that thug from earlier…
[16:46] ---
    Just what's up with
    you Blood Mist guys?!
[16:49] ---
    Hey, Iwabe!
[16:50] ---
    Shut up!
[16:54] ---
    Who do you guys think you are?
[16:56] ---
    Hey, these guys are outsiders.
[16:58] ---
    Oh that's right.
[16:59] ---
    Brats from the Hidden Leaf
    were visiting, huh?
[17:02] ---
    Hachiya?
[17:03] ---
    Huh?
[17:04] ---
    Well, if it isn't Kagura.
[17:07] ---
    Are you in charge here?
[17:09] ---
    Wagging your tail like
    a dog at the outsiders.
[17:12] ---
    This is none of your business.
[17:14] ---
    Sure it is.
[17:17] ---
    Aren't you a candidate to become
    one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen…
[17:20] ---
    of the Blood Mist?
[17:21] ---
    What of it?
[17:22] ---
    If you bow to them,
    they'll mess with us too!
[17:27] ---
    In fact, these outsiders got
    some nerve walking around
[17:29] ---
    The Blood Mist Village!
[17:31] ---
    See?
[17:32] ---
    What a bunch of losers.
[17:35] ---
    So what if we've got some nerve?
[17:37] ---
    Huh?
[17:38] ---
    Cut it out, Iwabe.
[17:40] ---
    Are you trying to ruin our field trip?
[17:43] ---
    Don't stop me, Boruto!
[17:44] ---
    I'm the field trip leader.
[17:47] ---
    If anyone acts stupid,
    of course I'm gonna stop ‘em.
[17:49] ---
    I see.
[17:51] ---
    So you're…
[17:52] ---
    the spoiled brat of
    the Uzumaki Clan.
[17:56] ---
    My parents have nothing
    to do with this!
[17:58] ---
    Oh, but it does.
[17:59] ---
    You see, bringing you down
    will make us famous!
[18:10] ---
    Just remember…
    you guys started this first!
[18:21] ---
    Any preference on how
    we finish you, Blood Mist?
[18:26] ---
    Hold it!
[18:27] ---
    Don't stop me.
[18:28] ---
    We have to teach 'em a lesson now,
    or they'll be trouble later.
[18:31] ---
    No…
[18:32] ---
    We're the ones
    who'll end up in trouble.
[18:37] ---
    Damn…!
[18:41] ---
    W-We'll let you go this time!
[18:48] ---
    I guess delinquents
    like them still exist…
[18:52] ---
    That's right, scram!
[18:53] ---
    – We've got one too…
    – Don't ever show your face again!
[18:55] ---
    – He's a national treasure.
    – You jerks!
[18:57] ---
    Kagura, is your hand okay?
[19:03] ---
    This is nothing.
[19:05] ---
    Let me…!
[19:12] ---
    Everyone, I'm sorry I got you
    involved in something like this.
[19:17] ---
    And you…
[19:19] ---
    What you said is absolutely right.
[19:21] ---
    Still, let me apologize.
[19:25] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:35] ---
    And?
[19:38] ---
    You got your butts kicked
[19:40] ---
    and came home with
    your tails between your legs?
[19:43] ---
    N-No…
[19:44] ---
    I mean… Kagura, he…
[19:49] ---
    I don't want any excuses.
[19:51] ---
    Y-Yes.
[19:53] ---
    Show them…
[19:55] ---
    how we do things
    in the Blood Mist Village.
[20:01] ---
    Y-Yes!
[20:04] ---
    Now then…
[20:06] ---
    I wonder how Kagura will
    react to this?
[20:14] ---
    I can't believe they sell stuff
    that's no longer being made!
[20:19] ---
    So heavy… Did I buy too much?
[20:44] ---
    Denki's late.
[20:46] ---
    It's almost time for dinner.
[20:48] ---
    I wonder what's keeping him?
[20:50] ---
    You're right, he's a little too late.
[21:01] ---
    What's that?
[21:07] ---
    Is it a Water Style Jutsu?
[21:10] ---
    "We have your friend."
[21:13] ---
    "If you want him back,
    come to Pier number 4."
[21:17] ---
    They kidnapped him!
[21:24] ---
    You'll never get away with this!
[21:28] ---
    Huh?
[21:30] ---
    Do you want to die?!
[21:32] ---
    You don't have the guts to kill me!
[21:35] ---
    Shut up!
