***SIGN*** 1\fad(560,500)\pos(509,225)}Welcome to the Maze*
**[01:49] ---**
Ouch...
**[01:55] ---**
Where... am I?
**[01:58] ---**
Awake, kid?
**[02:01] ---**
How are you feeling?
**[02:04] ---**
I'm spaced out.
**[02:06] ---**
I don't know what's going on.
**[02:09] ---**
I'm positive I was on the Thunder Train...
**[02:12] ---**
We all were.
**[02:16] ---**
You're not alone in your confusion.
**[02:20] ---**
Hey, kid...
**[02:21] ---**
Could you please stop calling me "kid"?
**[02:24] ---**
My name is Boruto Uzumaki.
**[02:27] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[02:28] ---**
I'm Anaguma.
**[02:30] ---**
And this is...
**[02:32] ---**
my bounty, Rokuro.
***SIGN*** SEAL
**[02:39] ---**
Were you bringing him in?
**[02:41] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[02:43] ---**
So, where's the exit?
**[02:45] ---**
Is there any way to get out?
**[02:48] ---**
Take a look at that guy.
**[02:51] ---**
Fire Style: Flame Bombs!
**[02:57] ---**
Damn it!
**[03:03] ---**
He's been at it for a while.
**[03:07] ---**
Hey, it looks like it's not doing anything.
**[03:11] ---**
Maybe you should stop—?!
**[03:12] ---**
Whoa!
**[03:14] ---**
You okay?
**[03:15] ---**
Uh... thanks.
**[03:17] ---**
I'm f-fine...
**[03:21] ---**
I'm Shamo.
**[03:23] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[03:24] ---**
Hey, I'm—
**[03:26] ---**
You're Boruto Uzumaki, right?
**[03:28] ---**
How do you know who I am?
**[03:32] ---**
Are you a Leaf Shinobi?
**[03:33] ---**
Yeah! I'm Kiseru Gankubi.
**[03:36] ---**
Mr. Konohamaru's helped me out a lot.
**[03:39] ---**
I'm happy to see a fellow villager.
**[03:42] ---**
Nice to meet you, ya know!
**[03:44] ---**
You think the wall will break?
**[03:46] ---**
Huh? Yeah!
**[03:48] ---**
Just a little bit more!
**[03:50] ---**
But your hand's super swollen!
**[03:52] ---**
Huh? It's nothin' a little effort
can't overcome!
**[04:15] ---**
Hey!
**[04:16] ---**
You smell like blood.
**[04:19] ---**
Those cuffs mean you're a bad guy, right?
**[04:21] ---**
Careful there, young lady.
**[04:24] ---**
This criminal is just itching to
get his hands on this key...
**[04:29] ---**
since he can't use jutsu the way he is now.
**[04:34] ---**
Is that right?
***SIGN*** START
**[04:57] ---**
Everyone...
**[04:59] ---**
Congratulations on surviving!
**[05:04] ---**
What?!
**[05:05] ---**
How are you all feeling?
**[05:08] ---**
Last night, the Thunder Train you were on
**[05:11] ---**
was in a tragic accident.
**[05:15] ---**
A drug storage facility
alongside the tracks exploded.
**[05:19] ---**
All of you were exposed to
a large amount of toxic gas.
**[05:23] ---**
You were brought to
this containment facility
**[05:26] ---**
out of concern that
you may have been contaminated.
**[05:29] ---**
I don't remember
anything like that happening.
**[05:32] ---**
That's probably because of the gas.
**[05:35] ---**
Many of the passengers who
inhaled large amounts of the gas
**[05:39] ---**
didn't make it.
**[05:41] ---**
They died?
**[05:42] ---**
No way!
**[05:44] ---**
What I'm trying to tell you is...
**[05:47] ---**
everyone here miraculously survived
and made it back alive.
**[05:51] ---**
Then let us go home, quick!
**[05:55] ---**
Before that, I'd like you
to undergo a simple test!
**[05:59] ---**
A test?
**[06:05] ---**
In an accident like this one,
**[06:08] ---**
very little separates life from death.
**[06:13] ---**
Maybe you just happened to be upwind...
**[06:15] ---**
Maybe you just happened to
choose an aisle seat...
**[06:19] ---**
Each of you were spared
**[06:21] ---**
because you "just happened"
to make the right choice.
**[06:24] ---**
However, I believe that
that was not by coincidence.
**[06:30] ---**
Each of you must possess
**[06:32] ---**
a subconscious ability to avoid death.
**[06:37] ---**
You will now be tested
to prove that hypothesis.
**[06:42] ---**
With what kind of a test?
**[06:45] ---**
"Having nine lives,"
is an expression we often hear.
**[06:51] ---**
I have here nine cards labeled "death"
**[06:56] ---**
and one card labeled "life."
**[06:59] ---**
If you draw the "life" card, you succeed.
**[07:02] ---**
If you draw a "death" card, you fail.
**[07:05] ---**
A simple test, really.
**[07:08] ---**
Anyone can draw a card.
**[07:11] ---**
Now, is there anyone
who would like to draw a card?
**[07:17] ---**
I'll draw.
**[07:18] ---**
Mr. Kiseru, wait!
Don't you think this is sketchy?
**[07:21] ---**
All I have to do is
draw the "life" card, right?
**[07:22] ---**
I feel lucky.
**[07:24] ---**
Your reason?
**[07:25] ---**
I got nothing!
**[07:25] ---**
You don't have one?!
**[07:26] ---**
Move!
**[07:28] ---**
I wanna take that bounty
and get home quickly!
**[07:33] ---**
Let me do it!
**[07:34] ---**
Please, by all means.
**[07:37] ---**
But please choose carefully.
**[07:41] ---**
Carefully!
**[07:45] ---**
After all, this is a test
that separates life and death.
**[07:50] ---**
I know!
***SIGN*** DEATH
**[07:54] ---**
This is stupid.
**[07:56] ---**
Okay, I drew one.
**[07:58] ---**
Now, can I go—
**[08:06] ---**
Now, now... I warned you, didn't I?
**[08:10] ---**
To choose carefully.
**[08:19] ---**
Wind Style: Gale Palm!
**[08:27] ---**
He's dead.
**[08:28] ---**
Damn it!
**[08:30] ---**
Boruto, come over here!
**[08:33] ---**
Look...
**[08:37] ---**
A puppet?!
**[08:41] ---**
Your sudden ninjutsu took me by surprise!
**[08:45] ---**
Who the hell are you?!
**[08:47] ---**
I'm Ouga, lord of this maze.
**[08:52] ---**
Maze?
**[08:53] ---**
That's right!
**[08:54] ---**
This is my secret underground maze
that no one knows about.
**[08:59] ---**
The test earlier was to let you know
**[09:03] ---**
that this experiment isn't a game.
**[09:05] ---**
What do you mean by experiments?
**[09:07] ---**
Just what do you think
people's lives are, anyway?
**[09:09] ---**
I asked earlier, what is it
that separates life from death?
**[09:15] ---**
This is an experiment to find
the answer to that question.
**[09:27] ---**
There will be five experiments in all.
**[09:30] ---**
The details are written in these scrolls.
**[09:33] ---**
And since I'm very kind,
**[09:36] ---**
I'll let you choose a scroll to start with.
**[09:40] ---**
Why do we have to do something like that?
**[09:43] ---**
If you, the subjects,
do not pass all of the experiments,
**[09:47] ---**
you will never get out of this maze.
**[09:56] ---**
Oh, what's this?
**[09:57] ---**
Maybe you don't get it yet?
**[09:59] ---**
You do not have the right to refuse here.
**[10:02] ---**
I was just a passenger on the Thunder Train!
**[10:05] ---**
Why do we have to get wrapped up in this?
**[10:09] ---**
Take us back right now!
***SIGN*** COLLAPSE
***SIGN*** COLLAPSE
**[10:18] ---**
What?!
**[10:19] ---**
How about that!
**[10:21] ---**
You picked the perfect test to begin with!
**[10:24] ---**
No, I didn't!
**[10:25] ---**
All right...
Then let... the experiment begin!
**[10:45] ---**
What just happened?
**[10:47] ---**
We were somewhere else a second ago...
**[10:49] ---**
He probably used the scroll
to summon us to this dimension.
**[10:56] ---**
Hey, you!
**[10:58] ---**
That's money you're clutching, isn't it?
**[11:01] ---**
N-No, it's not!
**[11:03] ---**
Hey...
**[11:04] ---**
Use that money to hire me.
**[11:06] ---**
You won't be able to survive on your own.
**[11:10] ---**
Leave me alone, you scavenger!
**[11:13] ---**
Oh...?
**[11:14] ---**
What are you trying to do?!
**[11:16] ---**
Give me a break!
**[11:18] ---**
How was I to know
this was going to happen?!
**[11:23] ---**
Don't come near me!
**[11:25] ---**
What's gotten into you?!
**[11:31] ---**
Hey, careful!
**[11:32] ---**
Boruto, this floor is made of stone.
**[11:38] ---**
I just told you to be careful!
**[11:43] ---**
Boruto!
**[11:45] ---**
That was scary!
**[11:46] ---**
Let's just get away from the edge.
**[11:51] ---**
*What...*
**[11:53] ---**
*is he trying to make us do here?!*
**[12:01] ---**
How far does this go anyway?
**[12:04] ---**
Seriously.
**[12:06] ---**
If we fell in, we'd be goners, huh?
**[12:10] ---**
I'm Yatsume.
**[12:11] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[12:15] ---**
Likewise, I'm Boruto.
**[12:20] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[12:21] ---**
The... floor...
**[12:24] ---**
suddenly collapsed.
**[12:31] ---**
The floor is very, very brittle!
**[12:34] ---**
Be careful.
**[12:35] ---**
Where are we?
**[12:39] ---**
The collapse experiment.
**[12:41] ---**
As the name suggests,
**[12:42] ---**
it's a test to see if you can
escape a collapsing floor.
**[12:46] ---**
If you fall, it's all over.
**[12:49] ---**
If you want to survive...
**[12:52] ---**
come up all the way here!
**[12:56] ---**
Hey! Get down here!
**[12:57] ---**
You don't get it, do you, kid?
**[12:59] ---**
If you stay there, you die.
**[13:03] ---**
Well then, test subjects...
**[13:05] ---**
Do your best!
**[13:09] ---**
Wait!
**[13:10] ---**
C'mon, Boruto!
**[13:11] ---**
All right!
**[13:12] ---**
Wait!
**[13:13] ---**
No fair going first!
***SIGN*** COLLAPSE
**[13:22] ---**
He faded away?!
**[13:23] ---**
Where did he go?!
**[13:26] ---**
D-Don't leave me behind!
**[13:31] ---**
Be careful.
**[13:47] ---**
What do you say, Boss?
**[13:49] ---**
Can I move my foot?
**[13:52] ---**
W-Wait!
**[13:55] ---**
Well then... You want a scavenger's help?
**[13:59] ---**
Yeah, fine!
**[14:01] ---**
We have a deal.
**[14:03] ---**
Wind Style: Flying Locust Wind!
**[14:08] ---**
Stop that! Using powerful jutsu
will make the floor collapse.
**[14:12] ---**
So what?
**[14:14] ---**
Do you only care about yourself?
**[14:16] ---**
I can't be bothered with other people.
**[14:34] ---**
Not good!
**[14:35] ---**
Water Style: Water Snake Threads!
**[14:41] ---**
Hey! You can't hold it by yourself!
**[14:44] ---**
Let's just get outta here!
**[14:45] ---**
Shut up!
**[14:47] ---**
Hang on, young lady.
**[14:49] ---**
We'll get you to firm ground.
**[14:52] ---**
Okay!
**[14:57] ---**
Damn it!
**[14:58] ---**
Hey, what do you think
you're doing?
**[14:59] ---**
I'm going to help them!
**[15:01] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[15:02] ---**
You could get yourself killed!
**[15:04] ---**
I can't just do nothing!
**[15:06] ---**
H-Help me!
**[15:10] ---**
Hold on!
**[15:12] ---**
Boruto!
**[15:13] ---**
Trying to save everyone...
**[15:15] ---**
How naive.
**[15:19] ---**
Here, grab on!
**[15:20] ---**
Th-Thank you!
**[15:21] ---**
Can you get up?
**[15:23] ---**
I can.
**[15:29] ---**
Boruto!
**[15:30] ---**
Use this!
**[15:32] ---**
Thanks, Mr. Kiseru!
**[15:33] ---**
Okay, Mister, climb up on this!
**[15:36] ---**
It's a rope ladder I put together,
so come up one by one!
**[15:39] ---**
When did you do that?
**[15:41] ---**
Got it!
**[15:43] ---**
Everyone! Gather over here!
**[15:46] ---**
You can climb up on this one at a time!
**[15:49] ---**
Be careful, okay?
**[15:51] ---**
B-Boruto!
**[15:54] ---**
Ouch...
**[15:56] ---**
I sprained my ankle!
**[16:00] ---**
Young lady!
**[16:02] ---**
Are you okay?
**[16:08] ---**
Hurry it up, Boruto!
**[16:10] ---**
I can't hold it much longer!
**[16:12] ---**
I hear you!
**[16:13] ---**
Okay, next one, Boruto!
**[16:15] ---**
Okay!
**[16:16] ---**
C'mon!
**[16:17] ---**
Boruto!
**[16:17] ---**
She sprained her ankle!
**[16:20] ---**
All right, you're next after these people.
**[16:23] ---**
You go first.
**[16:25] ---**
But Dear...
**[16:26] ---**
I'll be fine.
**[16:28] ---**
What is this? Seniors first?!
**[16:30] ---**
Knock it off.
**[16:34] ---**
Hey, hurry it up!
**[16:35] ---**
Hey!
**[16:36] ---**
Don't freak out! Wait your turn!
**[16:38] ---**
I can't wait any longer!
**[16:40] ---**
Stop it!
**[16:41] ---**
Hey, calm down!
**[16:44] ---**
Hey, give me a hand!
**[16:46] ---**
O-Okay!
**[16:46] ---**
O-Okay!
**[16:53] ---**
Mr. Anaguma!
**[16:55] ---**
Knock it off!
**[17:00] ---**
Damn it!
**[17:02] ---**
Hey, you!
**[17:04] ---**
What's your name?
**[17:06] ---**
Kakesu.
**[17:07] ---**
Kakesu, is it?
**[17:09] ---**
Do me a favor and grab that key there.
**[17:13] ---**
That one.
**[17:15] ---**
Hurry!
**[17:17] ---**
No!
**[17:19] ---**
Don't do it, young lady!
**[17:20] ---**
Don't believe anything he says!
**[17:23] ---**
That old man can't do anything.
**[17:25] ---**
If I can get these cuffs off,
I'll be able to use my jutsu.
**[17:28] ---**
And then, I can save you!
**[17:32] ---**
Don't! He'll get us all killed!
**[17:35] ---**
Just tap the key against the cuffs.
**[17:38] ---**
Please! I want to help you.
**[17:51] ---**
Good girl.
**[18:00] ---**
No way.
**[18:01] ---**
Thanks, Kakesu.
**[18:04] ---**
I won't forget this debt.
**[18:07] ---**
At least...
**[18:08] ---**
...until tomorrow morning.
**[18:10] ---**
You tricked me!
**[18:17] ---**
How dare you!
**[18:17] ---**
It's dangerous!
**[18:20] ---**
Cut it out!
**[18:20] ---**
We need to hurry!
**[18:22] ---**
Uh-oh...
**[18:23] ---**
Hey! Seriously, stop!
**[18:25] ---**
You don't get it!
**[18:30] ---**
No way!
**[18:31] ---**
Hey.
**[18:33] ---**
We have to get everyone who's left
out of here.
**[18:37] ---**
I know.
**[18:39] ---**
What's your name?
**[18:40] ---**
Namua.
**[18:42] ---**
Mr. Namua, I leave that person to you.
**[18:45] ---**
I'll carry the other one.
**[18:46] ---**
Got it.
**[18:51] ---**
All right, I'm going up first.
**[18:53] ---**
Okay.
**[18:55] ---**
Hold on tight.
**[18:56] ---**
Okay.
**[19:08] ---**
Boruto!
**[19:10] ---**
H-Help me!
**[19:13] ---**
Shamo?!
**[19:16] ---**
I'm coming!
**[19:16] ---**
What are you going to do?
**[19:17] ---**
The floor's already—!
**[19:18] ---**
I'll figure something out!
**[19:21] ---**
B-Boru—!
**[19:31] ---**
*I can't reach it!*
**[19:40] ---**
That was close, huh?
**[19:43] ---**
Uh-huh...
***SIGN*** COLLAPSE
**[19:58] ---**
You okay?
**[20:04] ---**
We did all we could.
**[20:05] ---**
Don't be discouraged.
**[20:07] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:07] ---**
Well done. Well done.
**[20:10] ---**
That was quite an interesting show.
**[20:15] ---**
Just what do you want?!
**[20:16] ---**
I'll tell you later.
**[20:19] ---**
Before that, rest up a bit
for the next experiment.
***SIGN*** COLLAPSE
**[20:28] ---**
Because from here on out,
it only gets tougher.
**[20:39] ---**
He disappeared again!
**[20:41] ---**
Anyway, we need to
get out of here right now.
**[20:44] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:46] ---**
Rokuro!
**[20:48] ---**
You bastard! How dare you
do that to Mr. Anaguma!
**[20:51] ---**
Got a problem with that?
**[20:52] ---**
What did you say?
**[20:53] ---**
Seems you don't understand
this experiment.
**[20:57] ---**
This isn't a game to test our luck.
**[21:00] ---**
It's an experiment designed so that
the only one who can pass
**[21:04] ---**
is someone who tries to survive
at the expense of others.
**[21:08] ---**
I'm going to use any and every
means to be the last survivor.
**[21:13] ---**
And win my freedom...
**[21:15] ---**
What will you do, Boruto Uzumaki?
**[21:25] ---**
14, huh?
**[21:27] ---**
A good amount survived, huh?
**[21:35] ---**
Boruto...
**[21:37] ---**
I will survive, too.
**[21:40] ---**
But not because I want to live.
**[21:43] ---**
I'll make sure I get out of here...
**[21:46] ---**
and capture... that bastard Ouga myself!
**[23:25] ---**
Ouga! How long are you gonna
keep us trapped in here?!
**[23:28] ---**
Until you clear the remaining four,
**[23:30] ---**
you won't be able to escape this maze.
**[23:32] ---**
Do you get it?
**[23:33] ---**
All right! Choose whichever scroll you like
**[23:34] ---**
and decide the next experiment!
**[23:36] ---**
It's just a waste of time
hesitating like this.
**[23:38] ---**
Ah! A swift decision!
**[23:40] ---**
Very nice!
**[23:41] ---**
You're quite noteworthy!
**[23:43] ---**
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
***SIGN*** DISAPPEARING LIVES
**[23:47] ---**
"Disappearing Lives."
**[23:49] ---**
What's going on?
**[23:50] ---**
It's dark and I can't see anything!
