[01:49] ---
    You look a little down... Batta.
[01:53] ---
    Go away.
[01:54] ---
    I think you're hurting, deep down inside.
[01:57] ---
    Even if you did it just to survive,
[02:00] ---
    taking someone's life is very painful.
[02:04] ---
    Shut up!
[02:07] ---
    I'm sorry.
[02:08] ---
    I was just trying to cheer you up.
[02:10] ---
    Ladies shouldn't fight each other!
[02:15] ---
    Stay out of this!
[02:16] ---
    N-Now you've done it!
[02:20] ---
    It's gone!
[02:21] ---
    This what you're looking for?
[02:22] ---
    My kunai!
[02:24] ---
    Give it back!
[02:26] ---
    Calm down, Shamo and Batta!
[02:28] ---
    If you want to go home alive,
[02:30] ---
    you need to cooperate with people
    you don't like.
[02:33] ---
    Who are you kidding?!
[02:35] ---
    How many were here at the start?
[02:37] ---
    There's only eight now.
[02:39] ---
    This experiment...
[02:40] ---
    is set up so we can't proceed
    without trampling over others.
[02:44] ---
    So, it's not your fault... Is that it?
[02:48] ---
    I won't ask about what happened
    in the elevator.
[02:50] ---
    But just know if you're planning
    to come after me...
[02:54] ---
    I don't mind fighting you.
[02:56] ---
    Is showing off your jutsu like that
[02:59] ---
    your way of asking for an early death?
[03:02] ---
    Personally, I wouldn't
    show my hand for all to see.
[03:07] ---
    You damned—!
[03:08] ---
    Keep it down!
[03:10] ---
    You stay out of this!
[03:11] ---
    Don't lose your cool, Mr. Kiseru.
[03:17] ---
    You know...
[03:19] ---
    For a long time,
    I've been bored of this hair color.
[03:22] ---
    But I never had the guts to change it.
[03:27] ---
    That's why I've made up my mind!
[03:28] ---
    If I'm still alive
    at the end of these experiments,
[03:30] ---
    I'm finally going to change my hair color!
[03:33] ---
    It's times like these when you need
    to have some hope, right?
[03:38] ---
    You might be right.
[03:39] ---
    How about you, Boruto?
[03:40] ---
    Tell us your reason you want to survive...
[03:43] ---
    if you have one!
[03:44] ---
    Me?
[03:46] ---
    I, uh...
[03:50] ---
    There's a person I admire.
[03:53] ---
    No matter how difficult the mission,
[03:56] ---
    my master never flinches
    and gets it done.
[03:58] ---
    One day, I'm going to become
    a shinobi like him.
[04:01] ---
    That's why I can't die in a place like this.
[04:05] ---
    A person you admire, huh?
[04:07] ---
    I have a reason, as well.
[04:08] ---
    Someone very important to me
    is waiting for me.
[04:11] ---
    I gave her a lot of grief.
[04:15] ---
    I want to make her happy one day.
[04:19] ---
    You're talking about your grandmother?
[04:22] ---
    So what?
[04:23] ---
    It's true that I gave her a lot of grief.
[04:25] ---
    I see...
[04:26] ---
    So, that's your desire, Shamo.
[04:28] ---
    Desire?
[04:30] ---
    It's more like something
    that I'm going to do.
[04:32] ---
    What about you, Mr. Namua?
[04:33] ---
    What's your desire?
[04:35] ---
    I don't have any.
[04:36] ---
    Not even one?
[04:38] ---
    That's strange...
[04:40] ---
    If I remember correctly,
[04:42] ---
    only convicted murderers
    in the Northern Penitentiary
[04:45] ---
    are given that tattoo on your arm.
[04:49] ---
    Were you... in jail?!
[04:52] ---
    Stop. His past doesn't matter...
[04:54] ---
    Long ago,
[04:56] ---
    I was a wicked man who went
    as far as his desires took him.
[04:59] ---
    I killed and stole whatever I wanted.
[05:03] ---
    But the more I took from others,
[05:07] ---
    the more worried I became
    that I would be the victim next...
[05:12] ---
    By the time I realized it,
    I couldn't sleep a wink.
[05:16] ---
    That was when...
[05:17] ---
    I met a priest dressed in rags.
[05:21] ---
    He didn't own a single thing of value...
[05:24] ---
    but his soul was very peaceful.
[05:30] ---
    I foolishly tried to steal his rice ball...
[05:34] ---
    but I couldn't do it.
[05:36] ---
    With his crystal-clear eyes
    fixed intently on me...
[05:40] ---
    I felt the murky darkness in me melting away.
[05:46] ---
    Ever since then, I vowed
    to shun all worldly desires...
[05:50] ---
    and devote myself to asceticism.
[05:52] ---
    That's a noble way of thinking.
[05:54] ---
    Maybe you could learn
    a little from him, Boss?
[05:56] ---
    Shut up!
[05:58] ---
    How about you, Mr. Fugou?
[05:59] ---
    You seem very secretive about
[06:01] ---
    that suitcase you never wanna let go of.
[06:04] ---
    I... want to deliver payment
    to my client, that's all.
[06:09] ---
    My company's fate is at stake.
[06:11] ---
    Just leave it to me.
[06:13] ---
    I want to hear your story too, Batta.
[06:16] ---
    I mean, you're pretty mysterious.
[06:19] ---
    Nope.
[06:21] ---
    Why I need money is none of your business.
[06:24] ---
    You see? That's just what I thought.
[06:26] ---
    Huh?
[06:27] ---
    Someone who just wants money
    wouldn't have used the word "need."
[06:31] ---
    Seems like you have a reason behind it.
[06:36] ---
    Tell us.
[06:37] ---
    No reason to hide it, right?
[06:41] ---
    If you really wanna know, I'll tell you.
[06:44] ---
    I'm going to save up a lot of money
    and buy an island!
[06:47] ---
    An island?
[06:49] ---
    One with pristine white
    sand beaches and blue seas!
[06:51] ---
    I'm going to have it all to myself!
[06:54] ---
    That was a waste of time.
[06:56] ---
    You're totally selfish in every way.
[06:58] ---
    What noble reason do you have
[07:00] ---
    that gives you the right to say that?
[07:02] ---
    Me?
[07:04] ---
    I have no desire to tell you.
[07:05] ---
    See?
[07:06] ---
    That just proves you have something to hide.
[07:09] ---
    I want to know, too.
[07:11] ---
    Please?
[07:14] ---
    If I can get out of here,
[07:15] ---
    I'm going for a soak at
    a hot spring in my homeland.
[07:18] ---
    That sounds wonderful.
[07:19] ---
    What kind of hot spring is it?
[07:20] ---
    I was born in a village deep in the mountains
[07:22] ---
    along the border of the Village
    Hidden in the Waterfalls.
[07:24] ---
    My grandpa took me
    to a nearby hot spring often.
[07:28] ---
    Watching the sunset while soaking
    in the hot spring is the best.
[07:32] ---
    Oh, really?
[07:33] ---
    A hot spring sounds great!
[07:36] ---
    But to get there, you'll have to be
    the last one standing!
[07:40] ---
    Now then...
[07:42] ---
    What experiment will be next?
[07:44] ---
    There are three remaining.
[07:46] ---
    If you don't choose one,
    you can't move on.
[07:49] ---
    I'll choose.
[07:51] ---
    I can't waste time dawdling here.
SIGN    PRESSURE
[08:00] ---
    Good choice!
[08:03] ---
    I think this will be
    the harshest experiment yet.
[08:07] ---
    Well then, the final eight!
    I shall lead the way!
SIGN    PRESSURE
[08:19] ---
    What a creepy room.
SIGN    A
[08:26] ---
    Mitsuki's not with you?
[08:28] ---
    He's at the scene to continue investigating.
[08:30] ---
    So, any progress?
[08:33] ---
    The Thunder Train's still missing.
[08:35] ---
    But I did find this.
[08:37] ---
    It's a list of the people who bought tickets
[08:39] ---
    for the Thunder Train Boruto was on.
[08:41] ---
    I'll try running it against
    the databases from all the lands
[08:43] ---
    to see if anyone suspicious was on board.
[08:46] ---
    Let's get started as soon as possible!
[08:50] ---
    Looks like blood stains...
[08:52] ---
    What?! I-Is he going to make us
    kill each other here?!
[08:55] ---
    I can't think with you around.
    Go to a corner and be quiet!
[08:59] ---
    It's like you think I'm useless.
[09:02] ---
    Huh?
[09:04] ---
    There's a button here. Should I push it?
[09:09] ---
    Maybe it's a light switch?
[09:11] ---
    Huh...
SIGN    PRESSURE
[09:15] ---
    What was that sound?!
[09:16] ---
    Uh... that was, uh...
SIGN    PRESSURE
[09:22] ---
    Above us!
SIGN    PRESSURE
[09:27] ---
    The ceiling's coming down.
[09:30] ---
    This is bad...
SIGN    PRESSURE
[09:35] ---
    Damn it! There's no way out.
    What are we going to do?
[09:41] ---
    Lightning Style! Thunder Wedge!
[09:46] ---
    Yatsume! Don't push yourself!
[09:48] ---
    I can manage this!
[10:01] ---
    Yatsume! Are you okay?!
[10:02] ---
    Yeah... I'm okay.
[10:04] ---
    Damn it!
[10:08] ---
    Rasengan!
[10:13] ---
    It didn't budge!
[10:15] ---
    Hey, you!
[10:16] ---
    What did you do?!
[10:17] ---
    I just tried to turn on the lights.
[10:20] ---
    I pushed it again, but it didn't stop!
[10:25] ---
    There are six more!
SIGN    PRESSURE
[10:27] ---
    Just do anything to make it stop!
[10:30] ---
    We'll just have to try pushing them, right?
[10:33] ---
    Whatever we choose,
    it can't get any worse than this.
[10:43] ---
    This is the worst!
[10:43] ---
    This is the worst!
[10:46] ---
    Is it this one?!
[10:48] ---
    This one?!
[10:51] ---
    This one?!
[10:53] ---
    Shamo! Calm down!
[10:55] ---
    What is happening?!
[10:59] ---
    All right!
[10:59] ---
    All right!
SIGN    PRESSURE
[11:02] ---
    It didn't solve anything.
[11:07] ---
    Stop it.
[11:08] ---
    What if you make it worse?
[11:10] ---
    So, we're just gonna wait
    and let it flatten us?!
[11:15] ---
    No. Ouga wants to see us
    sabotage each other.
[11:19] ---
    It wouldn't be his style to let this all end
[11:21] ---
    with us getting crushed.
[11:25] ---
    We leave it up to you now, Boruto.
[11:29] ---
    Can't turn back now that
    we've come this far, right?!
[11:39] ---
    Is that an exit?!
[11:41] ---
    No, they're depressions where we can hide.
[11:43] ---
    We can avoid the ceiling by going in there.
[11:45] ---
    Yay! We're saved!
[11:48] ---
    This space is mine!
[11:51] ---
    Oh, good one, Boss.
[11:53] ---
    Now hurry up and get inside.
[11:55] ---
    What?!
[11:56] ---
    I have to... hide quickly!
[12:00] ---
    You're not taking this space!
[12:03] ---
    Don't be so sure of yourself!
[12:17] ---
    It's not right! You have to hide too!
[12:21] ---
    Don't overdo it.
[12:23] ---
    You got hurt earlier, didn't you?
[12:25] ---
    Besides, you saved my life
    during the first experiment.
[12:28] ---
    Let's call it even.
[12:29] ---
    I can't leave you out here!
[12:31] ---
    If you don't get in, you'll be crushed!
[12:33] ---
    If you aren't going to use the space,
[12:35] ---
    I'll take your place.
[12:37] ---
    Don't worry about the two of us!
[12:39] ---
    What?!
[12:40] ---
    I told you, didn't I?
[12:41] ---
    I'm gonna get out of here and
    become a shinobi like my master!
[12:45] ---
    I'm sure he'd do the same thing.
[12:49] ---
    Boruto...
[12:51] ---
    Fire Style: Flaming Hail!
[13:00] ---
    You bastard!
[13:01] ---
    Take a good look.
[13:03] ---
    You shouldn't be wasting
    your time with me.
[13:05] ---
    You've put your friends in danger.
[13:10] ---
    Water Style: Wave Surge!
[13:17] ---
    Thanks, Boruto.
[13:19] ---
    Don't mention it.
[13:20] ---
    Our problem is the ceiling.
[13:24] ---
    It's lower now!
[13:26] ---
    What a bad joke.
[13:28] ---
    We're done for!
[13:32] ---
    The water's draining away?
[13:36] ---
    Boruto, what are you doing?
[13:44] ---
    I hear dripping water!
[13:46] ---
    I can't tell how thick the floor is,
[13:48] ---
    but there must be a space under here!
[13:50] ---
    So, should we break through the floor?
[13:52] ---
    It's our only option!
[13:56] ---
    Rasengan!
[14:00] ---
    One or two hits won't get it done.
[14:02] ---
    Let's keep going, Boruto!
[14:03] ---
    Right!
[14:06] ---
    It's going to be okay, Shamo.
[14:07] ---
    I'm not letting anyone die here!
[14:10] ---
    I promise we're all going to survive this.
[14:15] ---
    I... can do this too!
[14:17] ---
    Earth Style: Mud Wall!
[14:22] ---
    Grandma! Grandma!
[14:25] ---
    He's so wimpy!
[14:27] ---
    But it's reassuring...
[14:32] ---
    Mr. Namua, you too?
[14:34] ---
    Are you guys insane?
[14:35] ---
    There's no way you're going to
    break through this hard floor!
[14:37] ---
    If you're not going to help, then keep quiet!
[14:40] ---
    We should hurry.
[14:42] ---
    Yeah. On "3."
[14:44] ---
    1... 2...
[14:46] ---
    3!
[14:46] ---
    3!
[14:48] ---
    We're getting there!
[14:49] ---
    One more time!
[14:50] ---
    1... 2...
[14:52] ---
    3!
[14:52] ---
    3!
[14:56] ---
    Still not enough...
[14:58] ---
    This is not the time to give up!
[15:00] ---
    1... 2...
[15:01] ---
    3!
[15:01] ---
    3!
[15:03] ---
    Good luck digging your hole.
[15:05] ---
    But you know, this is a life-or-death
    game of musical chairs.
[15:10] ---
    That's why there's only one thing to do.
[15:14] ---
    This isn't personal.
[15:16] ---
    I need money.
[15:18] ---
    To buy your white sand beach?
[15:20] ---
    With money you get from killing people?
[15:22] ---
    Yeah, that's right!
[15:24] ---
    I've been saying that all this time!
[15:25] ---
    That's a lie! You were so miserable earlier!
[15:27] ---
    What's the real reason?
[15:29] ---
    That's none of your business!
[15:31] ---
    Yes, it is!
[15:32] ---
    I don't want to die
    without knowing your real reason!
[15:36] ---
    Hurry up and do it!
[15:37] ---
    Killing two or three people
    isn't going to make any difference!
[15:40] ---
    You keep out of this!
[15:42] ---
    I need you to stay alive!
[15:45] ---
    Don't you want the money?!
[15:48] ---
    Yeah, I want it.
[15:50] ---
    Of course, I do.
[15:53] ---
    I need it to buy back the island
[15:54] ---
    that rich guys like you took from me!
[15:59] ---
    Batta?
[16:00] ---
    Resort development... whatever!
[16:02] ---
    You guys came and trampled
    all over my birthplace and home!
[16:05] ---
    Have you ever considered
[16:07] ---
    how the people whose homes you took felt?!
[16:10] ---
    So, that's your real reason.
[16:13] ---
    It's what the rich always do!
[16:15] ---
    They trample all over the weak
    without a care.
[16:19] ---
    That's why I'll kill or do whatever it takes
[16:21] ---
    in exchange for money!
[16:24] ---
    You got a problem with that?!
[16:26] ---
    Stop it, Batta!
[16:27] ---
    There's no need to dirty your hands more.
[16:29] ---
    You'll see. We're definitely
    breaking through this floor...
[16:32] ---
    and no one has to die.
[16:35] ---
    You won't be able to do it.
[16:37] ---
    We can!
[16:38] ---
    If we all work together!
[16:43] ---
    Ouga wants to see us sabotage one another.
[16:47] ---
    Isn't it frustrating to just
    play right into his hands?
[16:53] ---
    Let's work together and shock Ouga, Batta!
[16:59] ---
    You're serious about not giving up
    until you break the floor?
[17:03] ---
    Oh yeah, I'm serious!
[17:14] ---
    Then bring it on!
[17:17] ---
    You're gonna help us?
[17:19] ---
    Bashing it randomly
    isn't going to break it.
[17:22] ---
    What do you suggest?
[17:24] ---
    There's a process to breaking things.
[17:32] ---
    Are you able to sense things?
[17:34] ---
    It bugs me showing you my hand,
[17:37] ---
    but right now, I can't afford not to.
[17:41] ---
    Do you know how they cut hard diamonds?
[17:44] ---
    They find the weakest point in a bond
[17:47] ---
    and strike it with precise blows
    from a hammer.
[17:49] ---
    Every material always has
    one weak point in a bond.
[17:55] ---
    So yes, this floor has one too.
[17:57] ---
    You're saying we need to find that point?
[18:02] ---
    Hurry up, Batta!
[18:04] ---
    Don't rush me. It's distracting.
[18:12] ---
    Boruto!
[18:21] ---
    I see it!
[18:22] ---
    Over there, Boruto!
[18:26] ---
    Rasengan!
[18:32] ---
    You gotta do it, Boruto!
[18:34] ---
    I can't hold this much longer!
[18:35] ---
    C'mon!
[18:52] ---
    We did it... We did it.
[18:55] ---
    Serves you right, Ouga!
[18:58] ---
    I tip my hat to you, Boruto.
[19:01] ---
    This happening is going to
    make what's coming

[19:04] ---
    so much more enjoyable.
SIGN    PRESSURE
[19:06] ---
    I'll prepare the next one
    so it's much, much more formidable.

[19:12] ---
    Rest up until then!
[19:17] ---
    My body aches all over.
[19:19] ---
    I'll join you after I take a little break.
[19:21] ---
    All right.
[19:27] ---
    Don't be so mad!
[19:28] ---
    I'm still a little shaky.
[19:30] ---
    Be careful.
[19:44] ---
    Is it broken?
[19:46] ---
    The lock's not working.
[19:48] ---
    It's because you whacked me with it.
[19:50] ---
    Your precious money is inside, right?
[19:55] ---
    It opened...
[19:59] ---
    Thank goodness!
[20:00] ---
    Uh... yeah!
[20:03] ---
    You saved us, Batta.
[20:05] ---
    Thanks to you, no one died.
[20:07] ---
    There won't be a next time.
[20:09] ---
    Well, to be honest, I was surprised
    that you're such a decent person.
[20:14] ---
    Want me to let you in on another surprise?
[20:18] ---
    There might be another traitor
    among the eight survivors.
[20:24] ---
    Why are you saying that all of a sudden?
[20:26] ---
    Do you know what this is, Boruto?
[20:29] ---
    A communication device?
[20:31] ---
    I swiped it from that person earlier.
[20:33] ---
    It's not odd for a shinobi to have
    a communication device.
[20:37] ---
    Having one isn't.
[20:40] ---
    But the bastard kept it hidden from us
[20:42] ---
    when they could've contacted
    the outside at any time.
[20:46] ---
    Normally, someone would want to
    get out of this maze.
[20:48] ---
    Don't you find that strange?
[20:50] ---
    Maybe it's broken?
[20:52] ---
    I tested it earlier. It works fine.
[20:54] ---
    Unfortunately, no one picked up.
[20:57] ---
    Who does it belong to?
[21:00] ---
    Starting to believe me now?
[21:02] ---
    Listen, the one who had this is...
[21:13] ---
    So, there were five passengers
    with unclear backgrounds.
[21:16] ---
    Yeah. I'm running them against
    the Leaf's records right now.
[21:21] ---
    It might be a waste of time.
[21:23] ---
    But right now, it's the only clue we have.
[21:29] ---
    Kawaki, does this face look familiar to you?
[21:32] ---
    Nope.
[21:33] ---
    It says this person...
[21:35] ---
    is an Outer who was helping Kara.
[21:38] ---
    An Outer was on the same
    Thunder Train with Boruto?!
[21:41] ---
    It can't be a coincidence.
[21:44] ---
    Who is he and where is...

[21:45] ---
    Kiseru Gankubi from?!
[23:27] ---
    There are numbers written on
    the tags that I gave out to you.
[23:31] ---
    The number needed to win is 7.
[23:34] ---
    The person who has 7 already is super lucky!
[23:38] ---
    I'm going to have everyone
    try to steal that tag!
