**[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...
***SIGN*** KISERU GANKUBI
***SIGN*** NINJA REGISTRY
CONFIDENTIAL
***SIGN*** SPECIAL NOTES
**[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!
**[23:42] ---**
The anything-goes survival game starts now!
**[23:46] ---**
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
***SIGN*** THE OBSTACLE:
SEVEN
**[23:49] ---**
"The Obstacle: Seven."
