[01:54] ---
    What's with that attitude?
[01:57] ---
    Say something!
[02:07] ---
    Be careful from now on!
[02:15] ---
    Are you all right?
[02:17] ---
    I'm fine.
[02:18] ---
    The guards have been
    singling you out recently.
[02:21] ---
    Did you do something
    to get Zansul's attention?
[02:27] ---
    You've been warned already.
[02:31] ---
    But if this is how
    you'd prefer to do things,
[02:32] ---
    I'll have no choice
    but to enhance surveillance.
[02:35] ---
    Look forward to that.
[02:38] ---
    Who left their post over here?!
[02:40] ---
    Oh no!
[02:42] ---
    Let's get going!
[02:45] ---
    Sasuke, doesn't it hurt where you got hit?
[02:49] ---
    You should go to the infirmary
    to get yourself checked out.
[02:52] ---
    Jiji, why the sudden concern?
[02:53] ---
    Well, the doctor who just arrived
    is really pretty.
[02:58] ---
    For real?!
[02:59] ---
    Yeah, I went to get patched up yesterday.
[03:02] ---
    That's when I saw her...
[03:03] ---
    Not only was she really beautiful,
    but she was also kind.
[03:06] ---
    I was shocked.
[03:08] ---
    She's also single.
[03:10] ---
    How could you tell?
[03:12] ---
    She wasn't wearing a ring!
[03:14] ---
    Ooh, that's big news!
[03:16] ---
    You were thinking of using Sasuke
[03:17] ---
    as an excuse to see her, weren't you?
[03:19] ---
    Heh, ya got me.
[03:21] ---
    Well, when you're stuck
    in a place like this,
[03:22] ---
    you need to find something fun
    to talk about, right?
[03:25] ---
    Ganno, wanna come with us?
[03:27] ---
    I'll pass.
[03:29] ---
    But if you want something fun,
    I've got something.
[03:32] ---
    What is it? You're making me curious.
[03:35] ---
    Zansul's room apparently has a cellar.
[03:39] ---
    A cellar?
[03:41] ---
    What's so special about that?
[03:43] ---
    There's a rumor that Zansul
    has a shady secret hidden in there.
[03:49] ---
    Someone just made that up, right?
[03:51] ---
    I prefer the doctor.
[03:54] ---
    About that... What's Zansul's secret?
[03:58] ---
    Who knows?
[03:59] ---
    I don't know any more than that.
[04:12] ---
    Sasuke's caused
    quite a bit of trouble for me.
[04:20] ---
    It's fine.
[04:22] ---
    I can just make another one.
[04:58] ---
    I knew it...
[05:00] ---
    It's gonna be difficult getting past that.
[05:09] ---
    Sharingan!
[05:17] ---
    That settles it. Genjutsu doesn't work.

[05:27] ---
    The wounds from before have disappeared...
[05:29] ---
    Or is it a different one?
[05:31] ---
    But...
[05:38] ---
    Poison?!
[05:42] ---
    His claws were covered in poison.
[06:04] ---
    It's all right now.
[06:10] ---
    Well, the doctor who just arrived
    is really pretty...
[06:21] ---
    How are you feeling?
[06:23] ---
    Sakura!
[06:25] ---
    You're the new doctor?
[06:28] ---
    What are you doing here?
[06:31] ---
    Come on, give me your arm.
[06:34] ---
    I came to inform you that
    your mission has changed.
[06:37] ---
    I'm going to draw some blood.
[06:39] ---
    My mission's changed?
[06:41] ---
    Kakashi Sensei found a book
    in the capital city of Redaku
[06:45] ---
    that gives an account of
    the Sage of Six Paths' illness.
[06:50] ---
    Here's a copy of the relevant passages.
[06:54] ---
    The Sage of Six Paths...
[06:56] ---
    afflicted with a curious illness,
    traveled to the Land of Redaku,
[06:59] ---
    and thus did meet the astronomer Tatar.
[07:02] ---
    One evening, Tatar spied
    a meteorite approaching the land.
[07:07] ---
    A glittering light spilled forth
    from the broken meteorite,
[07:10] ---
    which immediately freed
    the Sage of Six Path of his illness.
[07:13] ---
    Tatar named the source of
    this power, "Ultra Particles."
[07:21] ---
    In short, the Sage of Six Paths
    was cured of his illness
[07:24] ---
    because of the meteorite fragments
    called "Ultra Particles."
[07:27] ---
    Yeah.
[07:29] ---
    It says that the Sage of Six Paths
    hid the Ultra Particles in
[07:31] ---
    "a part of the sky that fell to earth."
[07:34] ---
    "A part of the sky that fell to earth"?
[07:35] ---
    We have no idea what that's referring to.
[07:38] ---
    "Any who would seek out this power,"
[07:41] ---
    "must revel with the Map of the Heavens."
[07:44] ---
    Is the Map of the Heavens some kind of book?
[07:47] ---
    I think that Naruto's illness
[07:49] ---
    is a symptom of having
    a Tailed Beast within his body.
[07:53] ---
    If that's the case, those Ultra Particles
[07:55] ---
    would have the power
    to alleviate that symptom.
[07:59] ---
    I'll get them for sure.
[08:02] ---
    Are you feeling all right?
[08:04] ---
    I'm fine.
[08:08] ---
    The fact that you're vulnerable
    to this poison
[08:11] ---
    must mean it's a substance
    found only in this land...
[08:16] ---
    Go back to the village immediately.
[08:18] ---
    It's too dangerous here.
[08:19] ---
    Dangerous?
[08:20] ---
    Don't underestimate me!
[08:22] ---
    I know how strong you are.
[08:24] ---
    But I can handle this on my own.
[08:28] ---
    Besides, there's something going on
    behind the scenes
[08:30] ---
    at this Observatory.
[08:31] ---
    It's strange that
    there are dragon beasts here
[08:33] ---
    that should be extinct.
[08:34] ---
    I'm sure that there's
    some sort of scheme at play.
[08:37] ---
    That's all the more reason I should stay.
[08:39] ---
    You need a partner for missions
[08:40] ---
    that can't be solved
    with just brute strength.
[08:43] ---
    I saved you earlier, didn't I?
[08:46] ---
    I could have dealt with that on my own.
[08:49] ---
    You have a bad habit of
    refusing help from others.
[08:52] ---
    But it's kind of cute too.
[08:58] ---
    Do what you want.
[09:01] ---
    But I'm kind of happy that
    you were worried about me.
[09:06] ---
    Because even if we can't be together,
[09:08] ---
    we're still husband and wife.
[09:16] ---
    Whoa!
[09:18] ---
    What are you doing this late?
[09:21] ---
    I-I got blisters on my fingers
    from working in the morning,
[09:24] ---
    so I got permission from the guard.
[09:27] ---
    That aside, you two...
[09:30] ---
    ...are married?!
[09:32] ---
    Sasuke, you were married?!
[09:35] ---
    I didn't say I was single.
[09:37] ---
    Anyway, why's your wife
    working here as a doctor?
[09:41] ---
    W-Well...
[09:43] ---
    I wanted to see him!
[09:45] ---
    And this place doesn't allow
    any visitors, right?
[09:49] ---
    That's why I decided to
    get a job here as a doctor.
[09:52] ---
    Ah! That makes sense!
[09:53] ---
    Aren't you surprised?
[09:55] ---
    Why would I be?
[09:56] ---
    That's totally normal, isn't it?
[09:58] ---
    A husband and wife are supposed to
    always be together!
[10:06] ---
    Jiji...
[10:07] ---
    Don't tell anyone that Sakura is my wife.
[10:12] ---
    I got it.
[10:14] ---
    If anyone finds out that
    she's married to an inmate,
[10:16] ---
    she won't be allowed to stay here.
[10:18] ---
    But I never expected you to be married.
[10:22] ---
    You should have told me sooner!
[10:25] ---
    The truth is, I have a fiancée.
[10:28] ---
    She's currently working in
    the capital city of Redaku.
[10:31] ---
    Once I've served my sentence,
    we're getting married!
[10:34] ---
    And we plan on staying together forever.
[10:38] ---
    The doctor came all the way here
[10:40] ---
    because she wanted to
    be with you, right?!
[10:43] ---
    I'm not so sure about that.
[10:45] ---
    I'm away from home often.
[10:47] ---
    How long are you usually away?
[10:49] ---
    The longest time was several years—
[10:51] ---
    Are you serious?!
[10:52] ---
    For some people, their marriage
    would just naturally disintegrate!
[10:55] ---
    I didn't just decide to leave her behind.
[10:58] ---
    Sakura is needed inside our village,
[11:00] ---
    but I'm needed outside of it.
[11:03] ---
    Still...
[11:05] ---
    Aren't you worried some creep
[11:06] ---
    might start hanging around
    while you're away?
[11:08] ---
    No.
[11:09] ---
    You trust her a lot, don't you?
[11:12] ---
    But I still think that a married couple
[11:14] ---
    should stay together.
[11:16] ---
    Even if you aren't worried,
[11:18] ---
    you don't know how the Doctor feels.
[11:20] ---
    You should at least give her a ring.
[11:31] ---
    We've got cloth passes, so he won't attack.
[11:35] ---
    It was a good idea to get one from Sakura.
[11:38] ---
    As long as we have this,
    we have a bit of freedom.
[11:42] ---
    But if we take our sweet time,
    the guards will beat us up.
[11:46] ---
    Let's head back already.
[11:47] ---
    One question...
[11:49] ---
    Do you know anything about
[11:50] ---
    a book called the Map of the Heavens?
[11:53] ---
    Map of... the Heavens?
[11:55] ---
    I've never heard of it.
[11:57] ---
    I'm sure it's in the library.
[11:59] ---
    Why don't you ask Penzila about it?
[12:01] ---
    Why him?
[12:02] ---
    Huh? You don't know?
[12:10] ---
    Aw, man!
[12:11] ---
    "Aw, man" yourself!
[12:12] ---
    Damn it! I lost!
[12:16] ---
    Now then, I'll be taking
    these cigarettes as you promised.
[12:19] ---
    Gambling during your lunch break?
[12:23] ---
    Hello.
[12:24] ---
    Who are you?
[12:26] ---
    I'm the new doctor
    in charge of the infirmary.
[12:29] ---
    Doctor?
[12:31] ---
    Don't worry, I'm not on patrol.
[12:36] ---
    I'm looking for a book.
[12:38] ---
    As a librarian, Mr. Penzila,
    would you mind helping me?
[12:41] ---
    Just leave it to me.
[12:43] ---
    It's a book called
    the Map of the Heavens...
[12:46] ---
    Map of the Heavens?
[12:50] ---
    Found it. This is it.
[12:52] ---
    Basement stacks... I-24.
[12:54] ---
    Oh, the basement stacks...
[12:56] ---
    You won't be able to see those.
[12:58] ---
    Why not?
[12:59] ---
    The books stored in the basement
    are really valuable.
[13:03] ---
    It's locked up tightly.
[13:05] ---
    Do you have the key?
[13:07] ---
    Well, yeah.
[13:08] ---
    But you need Zansul's approval
    to borrow them.
[13:12] ---
    If he finds out I let you in
    without permission,
[13:14] ---
    he'll send me to solitary.
[13:16] ---
    I see.
[13:17] ---
    Sorry, but you should just give up.
[13:20] ---
    In that case...
[13:21] ---
    Why don't we gamble for it?
[13:24] ---
    Huh?!
[13:25] ---
    What are you—?!
[13:25] ---
    If you win, I'll slip you
    as many smokes as you want.
[13:29] ---
    But if I win, you lend me the key.
[13:33] ---
    Go ahead and choose a game
    you're good at.
[13:37] ---
    Don't tell me you're running away
    from my generous offer.
[13:45] ---
    Okay, fine, fine!
[13:47] ---
    I'll play.
[13:48] ---
    That's what I like to hear!
[13:50] ---
    What shall we play?
[13:52] ---
    Well, isn't it obvious?
[13:54] ---
    We're playing Star Lines.
[13:57] ---
    Star Lines?
[14:00] ---
    Star Lines is a standard game
    here at the Observatory.
[14:05] ---
    It's played with a deck of
    60 picture cards that come in 12 suits
[14:08] ---
    and the goal is to construct different hands.
[14:10] ---
    Can I take a look?
[14:12] ---
    Certainly.
[14:14] ---
    Once your hand is dealt,
    you swap cards between each other...
[14:17] ---
    to construct your hand.
[14:19] ---
    Well, do you get it?
[14:21] ---
    I'm set!
[14:23] ---
    Thank you.
[14:24] ---
    Okay.
[14:25] ---
    Also, this is the list of hands.
[14:30] ---
    Doctor, are you sure about this?
[14:33] ---
    It'll be all right.
[14:36] ---
    My master taught me how to gamble.
[14:39] ---
    Wasn't Tsunade notoriously awful at gambling?
[14:44] ---
    All right, let's do this.
[14:45] ---
    Doctor, beginners should keep
    that list handy as a reference.
[14:49] ---
    I've already memorized it.
[14:49] ---
    What?!
[14:54] ---
    If I get the "Star" or "Earth" hands,
[14:56] ---
    I can't lose, right?
[14:58] ---
    That's more than enough.
[14:59] ---
    This is why I hate newbies!
[15:02] ---
    There's no way you'll get
    such a strong hand!
[15:07] ---
    You're joking, right?
[15:11] ---
    A-Amazing, an Earth hand!
[15:13] ---
    This is the first time I've seen this.
[15:15] ---
    Th-That's impossible!
[15:19] ---
    She must have been cheating!
[15:20] ---
    Let it go.
[15:21] ---
    Huh?
[15:22] ---
    A match is a match.
[15:27] ---
    I lost.
[15:30] ---
    Once you're done,
[15:32] ---
    return it immediately.
[15:36] ---
    Thank you.
[15:39] ---
    About that game of Star Lines...
[15:42] ---
    How did you win?
[15:44] ---
    What I did took plenty of effort.
[15:46] ---
    Effort? How?
[15:48] ---
    Memorization.
[15:50] ---
    Those cards were
    bent or damaged in some way.
[15:54] ---
    Each one was slightly unique...
[15:57] ---
    So, right from the start,
    I pretended to inspect the deck
[15:59] ---
    while I memorized all the cards.
[16:01] ---
    All 60 cards?
[16:03] ---
    Yup. I learned this technique
    when I was training with my master.
[16:08] ---
    Lady Tsunade's a sore loser,
[16:11] ---
    so whenever I played a game
    with her, it would never end.
[16:13] ---
    I didn't know what to do.
[16:15] ---
    So, I would memorize the cards
    and always bring it to a draw.
[16:19] ---
    Then Lady Tsunade would get bored
    and end the game.
[16:29] ---
    Hey, is Jiji getting enough sleep?
[16:32] ---
    He was sleeping
    when I slipped out of my cell.
[16:34] ---
    Why do you ask?
[16:36] ---
    He keeps making excuses
    to come to the infirmary.
[16:39] ---
    We just have casual chats
    about things like his fiancée.
[16:45] ---
    But I still think that a married couple
[16:47] ---
    should stay together.
[16:49] ---
    Even if you aren't worried,
[16:51] ---
    you don't know how the Doctor feels.
[16:55] ---
    Sasuke?
[16:57] ---
    What's the matter?
[17:00] ---
    Does...
[17:01] ---
    the fact that I'm always away on missions...
[17:06] ---
    and that we're away from each other,
[17:07] ---
    even though we're married...
[17:09] ---
    make you worry?
[17:20] ---
    What's all of this out of the blue?
[17:22] ---
    You surprised me!
[17:25] ---
    Forget I asked.
[17:28] ---
    It doesn't make me worry.
[17:34] ---
    But...
[17:38] ---
    There are moments
    when I want you by my side...
[17:43] ---
    sometimes!
[18:12] ---
    Wear that.
[18:20] ---
    This is a...
[18:22] ---
    Sasuke!
[18:28] ---
    Thank you!
[18:37] ---
    So, these are the basement stacks...
[18:40] ---
    I-24...
[18:42] ---
    I-24...
[18:44] ---
    I-...
[18:45] ---
    Found it!
SIGN    MAP OF THE HEAVENS
[18:53] ---
    This is the "Map of the Heavens."
[18:56] ---
    I sure hope this book
    holds some sort of clue.
[19:01] ---
    An ink painting?
[19:04] ---
    It's similar to Sai's works.
[19:06] ---
    It's a technique
    taught in the Land of Fire.
[19:16] ---
    12 ink paintings, huh?
[19:19] ---
    These paintings...
[19:20] ---
    match the cards from Star Lines.
[19:26] ---
    And if you look closely,
[19:28] ---
    the designs look like constellations.
[19:31] ---
    I see...
[19:32] ---
    The "Map of the Heavens"
    is exactly as its name suggests.
[19:36] ---
    Since there are 12 of them,
[19:37] ---
    maybe they drew the constellations
[19:39] ---
    that appear in the sky throughout the year.
[19:41] ---
    Tanuki...
[19:43] ---
    Cat...
[19:45] ---
    Monkey...
[19:47] ---
    This lineup...
[19:48] ---
    Feels familiar somehow.
[19:50] ---
    And not just from the designs
    on Star Lines...
[19:53] ---
    I've seen them before in the past.
[19:56] ---
    Umm...
[19:57] ---
    So, this is the ninth one...
[19:59] ---
    The ninth one is a watch fire...
[20:01] ---
    What an odd painting...
[20:04] ---
    Why is the fire spreading out like this?
[20:06] ---
    They look like nine... flames.
[20:09] ---
    That's it!
[20:11] ---
    Did you figure something out?
[20:13] ---
    These are Tailed Beasts!
[20:14] ---
    What?!
[20:15] ---
    This painting of the watch fire...
[20:17] ---
    The flames are split nine ways.
[20:20] ---
    This isn't a watch fire, it's the Nine Tails!
[20:22] ---
    I see.
[20:24] ---
    If that's the case...
[20:25] ---
    The focus of this painting
    isn't the tree trunk itself,
[20:28] ---
    but the rhinoceros beetles gathered on it.
[20:32] ---
    Yeah.
[20:33] ---
    The clay vessel this cow is looking at
[20:35] ---
    is most likely an octopus trap.
[20:37] ---
    There's probably an octopus inside.
[20:39] ---
    If these ten are Tailed Beasts,
    then what about the remaining two?
[20:44] ---
    Are they the astronomer Tatar...
[20:46] ---
    and the Sage of Six Paths?
[20:49] ---
    I suspect the Sage of Six Paths himself
[20:51] ---
    drew the Map of the Heavens.
[20:54] ---
    It looks like we're gradually getting closer
[20:57] ---
    to the Ultra Particles.
[20:58] ---
    Yeah.
[20:59] ---
    But we still don't know how the information
[21:01] ---
    from the Map of the Heavens
[21:02] ---
    is connected to the "part of
    the sky that fell to earth,"
[21:05] ---
    where the Ultra Particles are located.
[21:07] ---
    Are there any other suspicious
    places we haven't checked?
[21:12] ---
    Zansul's room apparently has a cellar.
[21:17] ---
    The cellar in Zansul's room.
[21:20] ---
    The director's room has one?
[21:22] ---
    It's only a rumor, but it could exist.
[21:25] ---
    But his room is heavily guarded.
[21:28] ---
    We need to think of some way
    to get around that.
[21:34] ---
    Yes, that would be
    the perfect opportunity!
[21:37] ---
    Tomorrow, the Prime Minister's messenger
[21:39] ---
    will be arriving from the capital
    to meet with Zansul.
[21:41] ---
    I see. We can take advantage of that.
[21:44] ---
    If I disguise myself as the messenger
[21:45] ---
    and meet with Zansul,
[21:47] ---
    we should get a chance
    to slip into the cellar.
[23:26] ---
    Disguised as the messenger from Redaku,
[23:28] ---
    Sakura will only have a few minutes
    to distract Zansul.
[23:32] ---
    In that short amount of time,
[23:34] ---
    I have no choice
    but to sneak into his cellar
[23:36] ---
    and successfully find any clues
    to the Ultra Particles.
[23:40] ---
    Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
SIGN    SASUKE'S STORY: THE SECRET IN THE CELLAR
[23:43] ---
    "Sasuke's Story: The Secret in the Cellar."
[23:47] ---
    The sound of wings?
[23:49] ---
    What is this place?!
