***SIGN*** 1\fad(270,500)\pos(538,263)}The Obstacle: Seven*
**[01:37] ---**
Mr. Kiseru's a traitor?
**[01:40] ---**
That can't be!
**[01:41] ---**
Remember what he said?
**[01:45] ---**
*I was born in a village deep in the mountains*
**[01:47] ---**
*along the border with the Village
Hidden in the Waterfalls.*
**[01:49] ---**
*My grandpa took me
to a nearby hot spring often.*
**[01:52] ---**
*Watching the sunset while soaking
in the hot spring is the best.*
**[01:56] ---**
It just so happens I was
born near there, so I know...
**[02:00] ---**
that the hot springs are always on
the eastern side of the mountains.
**[02:04] ---**
You might be able to see the sunrise,
**[02:05] ---**
but there isn't a single hot spring
there where you can see the sunset.
**[02:09] ---**
I thought that was sketchy,
so I decided to investigate.
**[02:11] ---**
That's when I found it...
**[02:13] ---**
This communication device.
**[02:19] ---**
What's keeping them?
**[02:22] ---**
Yeah...
**[02:23] ---**
Maybe they're conspiring...
**[02:33] ---**
He might be working closely with Ouga.
**[02:36] ---**
No way!
**[02:37] ---**
If he's been using this
to receive orders from Ouga
**[02:40] ---**
to make the experiment go smoothly...
**[02:41] ---**
he'd have a good reason to hide it.
**[02:43] ---**
He wouldn't be the first of
Ouga's moles imbedded among us.
**[02:48] ---**
But Mr. Kiseru was the very first
to help me dig through this floor.
**[02:53] ---**
If you wanna trust him, go right on ahead.
**[02:55] ---**
I'm just saying I'm gonna be cautious.
**[02:58] ---**
I don't want my throat cut
in my sleep by an enemy spy.
**[03:06] ---**
I'm surprised by how much intel
the Leaf had on the Outers.
**[03:10] ---**
They're valuable clues
for tracking down Code.
**[03:14] ---**
But we don't have a grasp of
the Outers' chain of command,
**[03:17] ---**
and I think the list is missing
a lot of names.
**[03:20] ---**
Let's hurry.
We have to rendezvous with Mitsuki!
**[03:26] ---**
You're late, you two...
**[03:29] ---**
Ouga?!
***SIGN*** SUM
**[03:32] ---**
You started already?!
**[03:34] ---**
He said to choose any envelope you want.
**[03:36] ---**
Here. We chose for you.
**[03:42] ---**
All right, then!
**[03:43] ---**
Let me show you to the location
of the next experiment!
***SIGN*** SUM
**[03:49] ---**
Hey, wait! The rules—!
**[03:56] ---**
*Test subjects! You have been
scattered throughout the field!*
**[03:59] ---**
*There is a number written
on the tag inside your envelope,*
**[04:03] ---**
*ranging from 1 to 8.*
**[04:08] ---**
*Starting now, you will fight
each other for those tags,*
**[04:12] ---**
*in order to collect a passing score
of 7 points or more.*
**[04:16] ---**
*Those who are starting off with
7 or more points already...*
**[04:19] ---**
*are super lucky!*
**[04:21] ---**
*But having high points runs
a higher risk of being targeted,*
**[04:26] ---**
*so watch your backs!*
**[04:30] ---**
*The time limit is two hours from now.*
**[04:33] ---**
*The goal is directly below
the flare that just went up.*
***SIGN*** SUM
**[04:39] ---**
*When the gate closes, the game is over,*
**[04:43] ---**
*so get there before then, okay?*
**[04:46] ---**
*Another flare will go up
one hour from now.*
**[04:49] ---**
*And a final flare will go up
ten minutes before the game ends.*
**[04:54] ---**
*All right then, test subjects!
Open your envelopes!*
**[05:02] ---**
*All right, then...*
**[05:03] ---**
*The anything-goes game of survival...*
**[05:07] ---**
*starts now!*
**[05:12] ---**
Oh, dear.
**[05:16] ---**
Damn it!
**[05:17] ---**
Hey, Boss!
**[05:20] ---**
Aren't you the lucky one!
**[05:23] ---**
Running into me right at the start.
**[05:26] ---**
Lucky my foot!
**[05:28] ---**
Look at this!
**[05:31] ---**
We're two peas in a pod.
**[05:36] ---**
7 points is passing,
**[05:39] ---**
so what we need
is another 9 points, huh?
**[05:42] ---**
If we're going to target
the weakest one, it'd be Shamo.
**[05:46] ---**
Yay! I got 8!
**[05:49] ---**
Lucky me!
**[05:52] ---**
Boruto!
**[05:53] ---**
I got an 8. An 8!
**[05:55] ---**
Weren't you listening to the directions?
**[05:58] ---**
Flashing that around
makes you a prime target!
**[06:02] ---**
Oh... right!
**[06:04] ---**
Seriously, be more careful.
**[06:06] ---**
There's no telling who'll come after you.
**[06:20] ---**
I should make contact soon...
**[06:23] ---**
My communication device is gone!
**[06:25] ---**
Damn it. Where is it?
**[06:27] ---**
Where did I lose it?
**[06:34] ---**
It had to have been then!
**[06:42] ---**
You don't need to be so cautious.
**[06:43] ---**
I said I'd protect you until the end.
**[06:46] ---**
I thought you hated rich people.
**[06:50] ---**
I'm the type who doesn't
let personal feelings
**[06:52] ---**
get in the way of my mission.
**[06:55] ---**
Batta...
**[06:57] ---**
What is it?
**[06:59] ---**
Without your help, I would've
been dead a long time ago.
**[07:02] ---**
I'm grateful.
**[07:04] ---**
So out of the blue... Cut it out.
**[07:06] ---**
I just wanted to let you know.
**[07:13] ---**
Pull yourself together, Boss.
**[07:15] ---**
Isn't that your precious money?
**[07:18] ---**
Stop! You don't have to pick it up!
**[07:20] ---**
Huh?
**[07:22] ---**
For all the money that's inside...
isn't this too light?
**[07:26] ---**
It's just your imagination. Give it back!
**[07:28] ---**
Come to think about it, I've never
once seen the money inside.
**[07:31] ---**
It's fine! Give it back!
**[07:33] ---**
Please!
**[07:47] ---**
What's this?
**[07:48] ---**
What's going on?
**[07:54] ---**
I'm asking you what's going on?!
**[07:56] ---**
I'm so sorry. Please forgive me!
**[07:59] ---**
My company is being blackmailed.
**[08:02] ---**
They took my wife and child hostage
**[08:04] ---**
and threatened to kill them
if I don't pay the ransom.
**[08:06] ---**
That's not what I asked you!
**[08:08] ---**
Why isn't there money inside?!
**[08:10] ---**
My company is on the brink of bankruptcy!
**[08:13] ---**
I was going to make them think
I was paying up...
**[08:15] ---**
Then, by threatening them with that drug,
**[08:17] ---**
I'd get my family back!
**[08:20] ---**
Look at them!
**[08:21] ---**
If I don't make it by the deadline,
**[08:23] ---**
my wife and child are going to be killed!
**[08:27] ---**
You're no different, after all.
**[08:29] ---**
You're just like those rich liars.
**[08:34] ---**
Please wait!
**[08:35] ---**
If you abandon me here, I'm a goner!
**[08:38] ---**
Please!
**[08:40] ---**
If you want me to save you, pay me.
**[08:42] ---**
I'm not doing this for charity!
**[08:56] ---**
So, you're—?!
**[09:07] ---**
Who's there?!
**[09:11] ---**
Sorry to startle you.
**[09:13] ---**
It's you, Mr. Namua.
**[09:14] ---**
You nearly scared me to death.
**[09:16] ---**
This is the worst.
**[09:18] ---**
Friends shouldn't fight one another
for points.
**[09:22] ---**
I did the math earlier.
**[09:25] ---**
The tags are numbered 1 to 8.
**[09:27] ---**
If 7 and above pass,
**[09:29] ---**
the number of people who can pass this...
**[09:31] ---**
is a maximum of five.
**[09:34] ---**
Three people won't make it, huh?
**[09:37] ---**
Unless we work together,
that number will increase.
**[09:40] ---**
That's the point of this experiment.
**[09:43] ---**
We all share the desire to survive.
**[09:48] ---**
Use mine.
**[09:53] ---**
No, I can't do that.
**[09:56] ---**
I've already told you...
**[09:57] ---**
I took from people to fulfill my greed.
**[10:01] ---**
I chose a path of asceticism...
**[10:04] ---**
so I could put an end to that way of life.
**[10:07] ---**
But I still can't sleep at night.
**[10:10] ---**
I hear voices when I close my eyes...
**[10:14] ---**
The sorrowful voices
of the people I murdered.
**[10:25] ---**
Hey! Namua! Yatsume!
**[10:28] ---**
You're alive!
**[10:33] ---**
I have a 6.
**[10:34] ---**
How about you two?
**[10:36] ---**
4 and 5.
**[10:37] ---**
Well, I have...
**[10:39] ---**
Ta-da!
**[10:41] ---**
I'm not letting it out of my sight!
**[10:45] ---**
With this combination of numbers,
**[10:46] ---**
Shamo and one other person will pass, huh?
**[10:52] ---**
I've got it!
**[10:54] ---**
What if you flip your 6
and call it a 9, Boruto?
**[10:57] ---**
Do you really think a cheap trick
is going to work?
**[11:00] ---**
Then you come up with something, Boruto!
**[11:02] ---**
I know that!
**[11:04] ---**
Right now, we need to work together
so no one is sacrificed...
**[11:11] ---**
We should try to confront the others.
**[11:13] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:13] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:19] ---**
Where are they?
**[11:36] ---**
Batta! Fugou!
**[11:38] ---**
No way!
**[11:40] ---**
Who'd do such a cruel thing?!
**[11:44] ---**
Looks like their tags were stolen.
**[11:47] ---**
Of course.
**[11:48] ---**
What other reason is there to target them?
**[11:51] ---**
And the communication device is gone.
**[11:54] ---**
*I don't want my throat cut
in my sleep by an enemy spy.*
**[12:03] ---**
Who do you think did it?
**[12:05] ---**
I haven't seen Rokuro and Kiseru around.
**[12:11] ---**
One of them killed those two.
**[12:13] ---**
They now have 3 tags.
**[12:16] ---**
It's too soon to suspect them.
**[12:19] ---**
It might be a trap to cause dissent among us.
**[12:22] ---**
We won't get anywhere right now
if we don't help each other.
**[12:26] ---**
He's right. I agree with Boruto.
**[12:29] ---**
Helping each other, huh?
**[12:31] ---**
I wish I could give away one of my points.
**[12:33] ---**
If you could, we wouldn't have a problem.
**[12:36] ---**
No...
**[12:38] ---**
That might not be such a bad idea.
**[12:40] ---**
Huh?
**[12:42] ---**
Right now, we have 4, 5, 6 and Shamo's 8.
**[12:46] ---**
What we don't have are 1, 2, 3 and 7.
**[12:50] ---**
If I could swap my 6 for a 1, 2, and 3,
**[12:53] ---**
both of you would have 7.
**[12:56] ---**
But if you do that, Boruto, you'll be—!
**[12:58] ---**
I know.
**[13:00] ---**
But the priority is to find a way
to save as many lives as possible.
**[13:09] ---**
One hour left, huh?
**[13:16] ---**
Rokuro...
**[13:19] ---**
So, how many tags do you have?
**[13:23] ---**
One...
**[13:25] ---**
That's unlucky.
**[13:26] ---**
Actually, not really.
**[13:31] ---**
Three tags!
**[13:32] ---**
That means...
**[13:34] ---**
Was it you?
**[13:40] ---**
Rokuro killed Batta and Fugou?!
**[13:43] ---**
I'm not gonna ask
how you got those two tags.
**[13:47] ---**
But even if you add up those three,
you'd still be short of 7, right?
**[13:51] ---**
I'll give you a 6, so how about
you give us the 2 and 3?
**[13:54] ---**
That way you'll have 7
and we'll get the two tags we need.
**[13:58] ---**
I see. That's interesting.
**[14:02] ---**
Take them. I don't need them.
**[14:05] ---**
I never needed them to begin with!
**[14:10] ---**
Is that how you killed those two?
**[14:12] ---**
All I did was figure out how to end
this despicable experiment!
**[14:18] ---**
End the experiment?
**[14:20] ---**
Kicking down others and fighting
until the last person remains—
**[14:24] ---**
That's the experiment's main objective.
**[14:30] ---**
Damn it!
**[14:32] ---**
Since that's the case,
let's just ignore the dumb rules
**[14:35] ---**
and kill each other right here and now!
**[14:37] ---**
You'd just be playing
right into Ouga's hands!
**[14:40] ---**
I'm not.
**[14:41] ---**
I'm outsmarting him!
**[14:43] ---**
The moment the sole winner is left,
the experiment becomes null.
**[14:47] ---**
Th-This is what you want, right?
**[14:51] ---**
You're a hopeless fool.
**[15:01] ---**
Let's do this, Boruto!
**[15:03] ---**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** SEAL
**[15:11] ---**
Mitsuki!
**[15:14] ---**
You messed up.
**[15:16] ---**
Wait. Look up!
***SIGN*** SEAL
**[15:19] ---**
It's a trap for anyone
who approaches and tries to help.
**[15:23] ---**
What do we do?
**[15:24] ---**
There are too many to avoid.
**[15:26] ---**
I submitted a report to the Hokage's Office
**[15:28] ---**
before leaving the village.
**[15:30] ---**
Our only option is to wait for backup.
**[15:32] ---**
We don't even know where Boruto is!
**[15:34] ---**
We can't wait that long.
***SIGN*** SEAL

**[16:02] ---**
Setting yourself on fire?!
**[16:04] ---**
What were you thinking?! Seriously!
**[16:06] ---**
Well, it wasn't the first time, so...
**[16:08] ---**
After I left you,
I came to the site to investigate,
**[16:12] ---**
but I found myself surrounded
by shinobi of unknown affiliation.
**[16:16] ---**
They were a well-trained group.
**[16:18] ---**
Who could they have been?
**[16:19] ---**
It's possible the Outers
played a role in this incident.
**[16:23] ---**
I see...
**[16:25] ---**
There are definitely others
involved in this incident.
**[16:29] ---**
Our best hope is to capture them
and ask them directly.
**[16:31] ---**
You're not going to stop me, are you, Sarada?
**[16:33] ---**
Why would I?
**[16:34] ---**
Let's make 'em tell us
where Boruto is!
**[16:42] ---**
This might actually be our chance.
**[16:45] ---**
What we need is a 1, a 2, and a 3, right?
**[16:48] ---**
Rokuro's holding all of them.
**[16:51] ---**
So, if we take down Rokuro,
all four of us can survive!
**[16:54] ---**
Okay, I'm in!
**[16:56] ---**
Wait! A wrong move could be dangerous!
**[16:59] ---**
Thunder Style: Thunderclap Arrow!
**[17:12] ---**
Mr. Namua!
**[17:14] ---**
You're my puppet now!
**[17:16] ---**
I can't... control my body!
**[17:21] ---**
Mr. Namua!
**[17:23] ---**
Pathetic, isn't it, Boruto?
**[17:25] ---**
Every living thing
possesses a desire to live.
**[17:29] ---**
Anyone who rejects that instinct
has no right to survive.
**[17:34] ---**
Boruto...
**[17:36] ---**
Run.
**[17:39] ---**
It hurts because you're fighting it.
**[17:42] ---**
Give in to your desires.
**[17:44] ---**
Go back to who you were before!
**[17:46] ---**
I'm... no longer who I used to be!
**[17:49] ---**
You're only suppressing your instincts.
**[17:52] ---**
You are a beast who lives
only for his desires.
**[17:55] ---**
That's who you really are!
**[18:02] ---**
Are you going to take... my ticket?!
**[18:05] ---**
Pull yourself together, Mr. Namua!
**[18:07] ---**
You want to take it, don't you?!
**[18:13] ---**
That's right!
**[18:14] ---**
Kill Boruto and survive!
**[18:16] ---**
Just take what you desire!
**[18:18] ---**
Yatsume? What's the matter?
**[18:20] ---**
I think I'm... deeply moved or something.
**[18:24] ---**
I mean, look at everyone...
fighting so desperately to live!
**[18:31] ---**
End him, by your own hand!
**[18:39] ---**
Mr. Namua! Didn't you tell me
you're no longer a villain?
**[18:42] ---**
Don't succumb to your feelings!
**[18:54] ---**
Mr. Namua!
**[18:55] ---**
Are your desires that weak, Namua?!
**[18:59] ---**
Die, Boruto!
**[19:03] ---**
This is... how it should be.
**[19:06] ---**
I'm sick and tired of taking from others.
**[19:11] ---**
Rasengan!
**[19:20] ---**
You win.
**[19:23] ---**
Your desire to live was greater than mine.
**[19:28] ---**
I'm taking these.
**[19:29] ---**
Of course.
**[19:31] ---**
You've earned them.
**[19:33] ---**
Even if I'm taken back to my village,
**[19:36] ---**
I'd be lucky if life in prison is all I get.
**[19:38] ---**
I've lost, but I don't regret a thing.
**[19:44] ---**
Here.
**[19:46] ---**
What are you doing?
**[19:48] ---**
A promise is a promise.
**[19:51] ---**
Hey, can you hear me, Ouga?
**[19:54] ---**
We're not gonna fulfill your expectations!
**[19:57] ---**
Are you crazy, Boruto?!
**[19:58] ---**
If we had three,
all of us could've been saved!
**[20:02] ---**
Don't be so selfish.
**[20:05] ---**
Boruto.
**[20:06] ---**
I'll let you in on something good.
**[20:08] ---**
I took Batta's and Fugou's tags.
**[20:12] ---**
But when I found them,
they were already dead.
**[20:18] ---**
Which leaves just one person
who could be the culprit.
**[20:24] ---**
Boruto!
**[20:27] ---**
We only have 10 minutes left!
***SIGN*** SUM
**[20:44] ---**
It stayed open!
So, anyone can go through, right?
**[20:50] ---**
I guess not.
**[20:53] ---**
Use these.
**[20:55] ---**
I won't survive for long with these wounds.
**[20:58] ---**
Use them, Boruto.
**[21:00] ---**
It's okay.
**[21:02] ---**
I have another idea.
**[21:03] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[21:04] ---**
The 7 tag hasn't been used yet.
**[21:07] ---**
Mr. Kiseru hasn't gone through the goal.
**[21:11] ---**
He probably killed Batta and Fugou.
**[21:16] ---**
Are you serious?
**[21:17] ---**
Kiseru did?
**[21:19] ---**
Batta suspected Kiseru of working for Ouga.
**[21:22] ---**
So, he killed her to keep her quiet?
**[21:25] ---**
I'm going to find out.
**[21:27] ---**
Take care of Mr. Namua.
**[21:28] ---**
Please go!
**[21:35] ---**
Boruto...
**[23:26] ---**
Mr. Kiseru...
**[23:28] ---**
Are you really working for Ouga?

Did you kill Batta and Fugou?
**[23:32] ---**

**[23:33] ---**
Who put that in your head?
**[23:34] ---**
Rokuro did!
**[23:36] ---**
He said he found Batta and Fugou dead.
**[23:38] ---**
You're the only one who could have done that!
**[23:40] ---**
You trust Rokuro more than me?
**[23:43] ---**
Whatever.
