**[00:05] ---**
*Yagura the Fourth Mizukage*
**[00:08] ---**
*used fear to rule this village*
*in the past.*
**[00:13] ---**
*I am Yagura's grandchild.*
**[00:16] ---**
*The blood of a mass murderer*
*courses through my veins.*
**[00:21] ---**
*I could never succeed him*
**[00:22] ---**
*as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen*
*and lead this village.*
**[00:27] ---**
*I'll be satisfied with*
*being Chojuro's aide.*
**[00:30] ---**
*At least, that's what I thought…*
**[00:33] ---**
*until I met…*
**[00:36] ---**
*Boruto Uzumaki.*
**[00:49] ---**
About the candidacy test for
the Great Twin Swords Hiramekarei…
**[00:53] ---**
I'd like to take it.
**[02:29] ---**
*Declaration of War*
**[02:30] ---**
*Declaration of War*
About the candidacy test for
**[02:31] ---**
*Declaration of War*
the Great Twin Sword Hiramekarei…
**[02:33] ---**
I'd like to take it.
**[02:36] ---**
You would? I'm glad to hear it.
**[02:40] ---**
Before you were born,
**[02:41] ---**
there was a great conflict
known as the Fourth Great Ninja War.
**[02:46] ---**
During that war,
over a fifth of the men and women
**[02:49] ---**
fighting for the Allied Shinobi Forces
were lost.
**[02:53] ---**
I have the greatest respect for you
and all my predecessors
**[02:55] ---**
who helped to end it.
**[02:58] ---**
It was possible
**[02:59] ---**
due to the sacrifice of many skilled
and experienced shinobi.
**[03:04] ---**
And they all believed in the future.
**[03:08] ---**
A future in which every village
had a stake.
**[03:12] ---**
And that is why I want to
pass on the Hiramekarei
**[03:14] ---**
to a young shinobi
who can carry the torch.
**[03:18] ---**
I'm sure those who went
before us would agree.
**[03:28] ---**
I accept with great honor.
**[03:42] ---**
Great Twin Sword Hiramekarei.
**[04:09] ---**
Pretty sweet sword.
**[04:11] ---**
Why'd you call me out so late?
**[04:16] ---**
Sorry.
**[04:18] ---**
I wanted to show you
before anyone else.
**[04:23] ---**
The one entrusted with this sword
will forge the future of the village.
**[04:29] ---**
Boruto, thanks to you,
I was able to make up my mind.
**[04:32] ---**
Aw, I didn't do anything.
**[04:34] ---**
No, you spoke the truth.
**[04:38] ---**
Blood ties don't matter.
**[04:40] ---**
I'm the one who decides how I live.
**[04:43] ---**
Good for you, Kagura!
**[04:44] ---**
If you're gonna be the leader,
**[04:46] ---**
the village will be in good hands.
**[04:49] ---**
I hope I'm up to it…
**[04:52] ---**
I guarantee it!
**[04:54] ---**
You'll be fine!
**[04:56] ---**
It's strange. Hearing you say it,
somehow I believe it.
**[04:59] ---**
I'm a good judge of people, ya know.
**[05:14] ---**
Yikes!
**[05:24] ---**
We meet again, Kagura.
**[05:27] ---**
You…!
**[05:32] ---**
What're you doing?!
**[05:33] ---**
Mr. Shizuma!
**[05:34] ---**
Hey Kagura…
**[05:36] ---**
And Boruto Uzumaki!
**[05:39] ---**
You were at the harbor!
**[05:41] ---**
The name is Shizuma Hoshigaki.
**[05:44] ---**
It seems my errand boys caused
some trouble yesterday.
**[05:48] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[05:49] ---**
So the guys who kidnapped
Denki were yours?
**[05:53] ---**
Well, we beat them
at their own game.
**[05:56] ---**
The younger ones are riled up
**[05:59] ---**
because of this senseless
reconciliation policy.
**[06:04] ---**
So whaddya want?
**[06:06] ---**
Your entrance just now
wasn't too funny.
**[06:09] ---**
Mr. Shizuma…
**[06:11] ---**
You're still supposed to
be under penitence
**[06:14] ---**
because of your actions
in the last mission.
**[06:17] ---**
Yet you—
**[06:18] ---**
Penitence is something
one places on themself.
**[06:23] ---**
I can sorta agree with that!
**[06:26] ---**
Besides, fairly soon now
**[06:28] ---**
we won't have to take orders
from the current Mizukage.
**[06:32] ---**
What does that mean?
**[06:34] ---**
What else?
**[06:36] ---**
The time has come for a war
to reclaim our dignity.
**[06:40] ---**
Mr. Shizuma…
**[06:41] ---**
Come off it!
**[06:43] ---**
You're either crazy or half-asleep!
**[06:50] ---**
My eyes are wide open
and I'm perfectly sane.
**[06:54] ---**
Kagura, you now have
the Great Twin Sword.
**[06:58] ---**
It is time.
**[07:01] ---**
We kill the Hokage's son,
then declare war.
**[07:05] ---**
What're you saying?
**[07:07] ---**
There won't be any war!
**[07:09] ---**
He's right, Mr. Shizuma.
**[07:11] ---**
The world has just started down
the path to peace.
**[07:14] ---**
I'm going to put this sword
to use for that purpose.
**[07:17] ---**
Peace?
**[07:19] ---**
Mei Terumi and Chojuro
are just toying with you.
**[07:24] ---**
Lord Chojuro is a noble man.
**[07:27] ---**
He's doing all he can
**[07:29] ---**
to keep the peace in this village
once ensnared in chaos.
**[07:32] ---**
It's all for show!
**[07:35] ---**
Chojuro plans to get rid of everyone
who doesn't agree with his methods.
**[07:41] ---**
Impossible…
**[07:43] ---**
Countless villagers still suffer
from the scars left by war.
**[07:48] ---**
Don't tell me you're unaware.
**[07:51] ---**
I know…
**[07:53] ---**
Kagura, you have suffered more
than anyone in the village.
**[08:14] ---**
*Y-You got—*
**[08:35] ---**
*Stop, Kagura.*
**[08:38] ---**
*That's enough…*
**[08:40] ---**
*Kagura, what're you doing?!*
**[08:43] ---**
*Sh-Shizuma…! I…*
**[08:46] ---**
*It's Yagura's blood.*
**[08:47] ---**
*He's the grandson of*
*that mass murderer…*
**[08:51] ---**
*How could Lord Chojuro admit*
*a guy like that into the Academy?*
**[08:55] ---**
*When he wields a sword,*
*he goes berserk.*
**[08:58] ---**
*Even if he has the skills,*
*we can't endorse a shinobi like him…*
**[09:06] ---**
*I… I…*
**[09:08] ---**
*You're the way you should be.*
**[09:12] ---**
*Fighting to kill is the way of*
*the Blood Mist shinobi.*
**[09:16] ---**
*There's nothing wrong with you…*
*Kagura Karatachi.*
**[09:22] ---**
*Mr. Shizuma…*
**[09:25] ---**
*The age to come is going to need*
*warriors like you.*
**[09:34] ---**
*Kagura, I will protect you.*
**[09:45] ---**
Mr. Shizuma, I'm grateful to you
for defending me all these years.
**[09:50] ---**
But I cannot go along
with you anymore.
**[09:54] ---**
If you continue to incite trouble,
I will be ordered to punish you.
**[09:59] ---**
Punish?
**[10:02] ---**
The one who must be punished
is Chojuro.
**[10:08] ---**
Chojuro is using assassins
to get rid of insurgents.
**[10:14] ---**
Kagura, what's wrong?!
**[10:18] ---**
It doesn't make sense, does it?
**[10:21] ---**
There's no way reform
can proceed smoothly
**[10:23] ---**
in the Blood Mist Village.
**[10:26] ---**
He seems calm and upright,
**[10:27] ---**
but behind the scenes,
he's ruthless.
**[10:32] ---**
The fact that my family's name
no longer appears on the memorials
**[10:36] ---**
is undeniable proof.
**[10:38] ---**
The current regime wants to erase
**[10:40] ---**
every vestige of those
who were a nuisance.
**[10:44] ---**
The same goes for your family.
**[10:47] ---**
We will fight
**[10:49] ---**
so that those whose very existence
was erased can rest in peace!
**[10:53] ---**
Now come, Kagura!
**[10:58] ---**
Remember this?
**[11:03] ---**
This is the scar you gave me.
**[11:06] ---**
Ever since that day,
I've looked out for you.
**[11:09] ---**
No matter how you try to change,
you belong with me.
**[11:18] ---**
Kagura, what's the matter?!
**[11:20] ---**
Hey, mister!
**[11:22] ---**
Sorry. I may not look it,
but I'm still 18.
**[11:27] ---**
Don't go tempting my friend
with your nonsense!
**[11:31] ---**
Nonsense?
**[11:33] ---**
You think it so only because
you've been pampered your whole life.
**[11:37] ---**
Shut up!
**[11:45] ---**
What is it? Has something upset you?
**[11:48] ---**
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[11:51] ---**
Time to give it a try…
**[12:01] ---**
Hmm?
**[12:03] ---**
Like those? You can't deflect them
with a sword.
**[12:07] ---**
That's more like it.
**[12:09] ---**
It's not worth killing you otherwise.
**[12:11] ---**
Shizuma!
**[12:15] ---**
Address me as "Mr. Shizuma"!
**[12:19] ---**
Address these!
**[12:22] ---**
Buntan.
**[12:26] ---**
Wha—?!
**[12:27] ---**
This childish Lightning Style
**[12:30] ---**
is nothing compared
to the real thing, little boy.
**[12:35] ---**
Ichirota.
**[12:36] ---**
Right here.
**[12:38] ---**
Hassaku.
**[12:39] ---**
Here!
**[12:40] ---**
Hebiichigo.
**[12:41] ---**
Understood.
**[12:43] ---**
Who the hell are these guys?
**[12:45] ---**
Kyoho.
**[12:46] ---**
Yeah!
**[12:55] ---**
You didn't hafta summon
so many guys!
**[12:57] ---**
It's my way of showing respect
to the Hokage's son
**[13:00] ---**
before he meets his death.
**[13:02] ---**
Enough messing around.
**[13:05] ---**
I know more than Lightning Style.
**[13:07] ---**
Wind Style: Consecutive Wind Fist!
**[13:13] ---**
This is my lethal…Boruto Stream!
**[13:24] ---**
Water Style…
**[13:25] ---**
Water Forge Jutsu.
**[13:37] ---**
"Boruto Stream"? What a laugh!
**[13:40] ---**
For a moment, you had me scared.
**[13:42] ---**
He's so pitiful, it's not even funny.
**[13:45] ---**
Poor thing…
**[13:46] ---**
He hasn't realized that
he's about to die.
**[13:53] ---**
This is what "fighting to kill"
really means.
**[13:56] ---**
A high price to learn it, eh?
**[13:58] ---**
Boruto!
**[14:04] ---**
You should know…
**[14:06] ---**
that we are the new Seven Ninja
Swordsmen of the Blood Mist!
**[14:12] ---**
There's only six of you!
**[14:15] ---**
Oh, you still don't get it?
**[14:19] ---**
Kagura… Kill the bastard.
**[14:25] ---**
I'm…the seventh…?
**[14:35] ---**
In the lands around the Middle Sea,
times are tense.
**[14:39] ---**
Now, if the son of the Hokage
were to be killed in Mist Village,
**[14:41] ---**
it would be cause enough
not only to sink the peace treaty,
**[14:45] ---**
but for war to erupt.
**[14:47] ---**
And in the chaos, we shall mete out
Heaven's punishment.
**[14:51] ---**
Exactly.
**[14:53] ---**
War?
**[14:56] ---**
*What? The old man's not*
*coming home again?*
**[15:00] ---**
*Looks that way.*
**[15:02] ---**
*But your father*
*is doing his best*
**[15:05] ---**
*so that you two can live in peace.*
**[15:08] ---**
*He wants there to*
*never be another war.*
**[15:13] ---**
You've got to be crazy.
**[15:16] ---**
As if I'd let another war begin!
**[15:20] ---**
Oh? You think you can stop it?
**[15:24] ---**
On with it, Kagura.
**[15:34] ---**
Kagura…
**[15:36] ---**
You made up your mind
**[15:38] ---**
to accept the sword for
the good of your village.
**[15:42] ---**
You can't let guys
like this change it…
**[15:46] ---**
Good… That's the way, Kagura.
**[15:49] ---**
I will protect you,
like I've always done.
**[15:56] ---**
Why you—!
**[16:01] ---**
Mr. Shizuma…
**[16:03] ---**
You're saying you will forge
a future that is more just?
**[16:08] ---**
I swear it on my life.
**[16:10] ---**
I don't intend my life to end
in disgrace.
**[16:14] ---**
Go, Boruto.
**[16:16] ---**
Kagura…
**[16:18] ---**
My hands… my blades…
are stained with blood.
**[16:24] ---**
I don't…want to kill you.
**[16:27] ---**
Come now, don't be naïve!
**[16:29] ---**
No, it's okay.
**[16:31] ---**
My dear friend has drawn his sword,
yet makes a request.
**[16:36] ---**
And if we were to take him on
when Kagura's of a mind,
**[16:39] ---**
we'd be the ones cut down.
**[16:49] ---**
Your life's been spared,
Hokage's son.
**[16:52] ---**
Now go home and let him know…
**[16:55] ---**
The revolution has begun!
**[16:58] ---**
We go.
**[17:05] ---**
Don't go, Kagura!
**[17:13] ---**
It seems I will always be
the grandson of Yagura.
**[17:19] ---**
Kagura!
**[17:22] ---**
Kagu…ra…
**[17:32] ---**
Boruto.
**[17:34] ---**
Boruto!
**[17:35] ---**
Boruto!
**[17:38] ---**
Oh… Sarada…
**[17:41] ---**
Thank goodness, you're awake.
**[17:43] ---**
Sarada, how'd you know I was—
**[17:46] ---**
Oww!
**[17:47] ---**
Careful!
**[17:48] ---**
Well, he came to tell me.
**[17:51] ---**
H-Hey…
**[17:53] ---**
You!
**[17:55] ---**
You're one of Shizuma's jerks!
**[17:58] ---**
Oww!
**[17:59] ---**
N-No…
**[18:01] ---**
I'm not anymore!
**[18:02] ---**
What? What do you mean?
**[18:05] ---**
He was beaten terribly,
and ran away.
**[18:08] ---**
It seems this Shizuma used him,
then kicked him out.
**[18:15] ---**
Sarada treated my wounds!
I'm beholden to all of you!
**[18:21] ---**
Boruto, what have you been up to?!
**[18:25] ---**
I-I'm sorry! I didn't know!
**[18:29] ---**
I had no idea Mr. Shizuma was
really trying to start a war.
**[18:33] ---**
And not knowing clears you
of guilt?
**[18:37] ---**
H-He only told us we were going
to do something great.
**[18:41] ---**
I…I wanted that…
**[18:43] ---**
I kept telling you not to cause
trouble on our field trip.
**[18:48] ---**
Now what do we do?
**[18:50] ---**
There's only one thing
to do right now…
**[18:55] ---**
I'm going to save Kagura.
**[18:59] ---**
What?!
**[19:08] ---**
Shizuma Hoshigaki?
**[19:10] ---**
He's definitely got skill,
**[19:12] ---**
but he was more famous
for his bad behavior.
**[19:15] ---**
Imagine a guy like that staging
a coup d'état!
**[19:24] ---**
Slipped away, did you?
**[19:27] ---**
So this Shizuma fellow took
Kagura hostage?
**[19:32] ---**
No.
**[19:34] ---**
They were trying to convince
Kagura to join them.
**[19:37] ---**
What?!
**[19:39] ---**
Hey… ‘Fess up, Hachiya!
**[19:42] ---**
Was there something between
Kagura and Shizuma?!
**[19:44] ---**
K-Kagura will never defy Mr. Shizuma…
**[19:49] ---**
Why not?
**[19:51] ---**
Kagura once wounded Mr. Shizuma.
**[19:56] ---**
*So that's where that scar came from.*
**[19:59] ---**
Kagura is, without a doubt,
a powerful swordsman.
**[20:03] ---**
But he has a weakness.
He can't control his emotions.
**[20:08] ---**
That explains Kagura's dislike of swords.
**[20:13] ---**
If Kagura feels indebted because
of the hurt he caused,
**[20:17] ---**
Shizuma can use that against him.
**[20:20] ---**
Mr. Shizuma wouldn't hesitate
to do that.
**[20:23] ---**
Taking advantage of people's feelings…
**[20:26] ---**
That heartless—!
**[20:27] ---**
We have to notify all the sensei.
**[20:31] ---**
Hey, don't tell me…?!
**[20:34] ---**
Sorry, Sarada.
**[20:36] ---**
I'm the field trip manager.
**[20:38] ---**
Making sure it ends without
incident is my job.
**[20:44] ---**
It's useless trying to stop you.
**[20:46] ---**
Well then, I'm coming too.
**[20:48] ---**
What?!
**[20:49] ---**
Well, it's my job to keep an eye
on you during the field trip.
**[20:53] ---**
I have to see this through
to the end.
**[20:57] ---**
Not that I want to.
**[20:59] ---**
I did something to Kagura
that I can't take back…!
**[21:04] ---**
All right, then!
**[21:05] ---**
The three of us will save Kagura!
**[21:08] ---**
Even supposing we forget
your actions,
**[21:10] ---**
if those other guys do manage
to start something—
**[21:12] ---**
You think
there'll really be a war?!
**[21:15] ---**
Don't panic. I got an idea.
**[21:22] ---**
Listen, this isn't a war.
**[21:26] ---**
It's a fight between us and them!
**[21:47] ---**
All right, time to start a war.
**[23:25] ---**
With these swords
we can start a revolution.
**[23:28] ---**
The blades are heavy.
**[23:30] ---**
Do I even have the right
to wield them?
**[23:32] ---**
It's too late to turn back now.
**[23:35] ---**
The great Yagura's blood
flows through you—
**[23:37] ---**
Take what rights you want!
**[23:39] ---**
The past cannot be changed…
**[23:42] ---**
Next time on Boruto
Naruto Next Generations:
**[23:45] ---**
"The New Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"
**[23:47] ---**
This village, which harbors
the pride and blood of Yagura,
**[23:50] ---**
will be saved by me!
