**[00:21] ---**
This is—!
**[00:23] ---**
Isshiki Otsutsuki!
**[00:25] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[00:29] ---**
Code...
**[00:31] ---**
my most loyal beloved servant.
**[00:36] ---**
My soul... will soon be destroyed.
**[00:40] ---**
But the will of the Otsutsuki
must never be allowed to perish.
**[00:46] ---**
Not when we have devoured countless planets
**[00:50] ---**
and continuously evolved
over thousands of years...
**[00:53] ---**
The very will of the Otsutsuki...
**[01:02] ---**
Even I'd...
**[01:04] ---**
If it was possible,
I'd give my life to you...
**[01:07] ---**
But this Karma is defective.
**[01:11] ---**
Unfortunately, I can't serve as
a receptacle for your soul.
**[01:16] ---**
The non-Vessel White Karma...
**[01:20] ---**
That is my legacy dwelling within you
**[01:23] ---**
in the form of pure power.
**[01:26] ---**
With that White Karma,
**[01:28] ---**
you shall inherit
the will of the Otsutsuki...
**[01:32] ---**
Me?!
**[01:36] ---**
Sure.
**[01:38] ---**
Go on.
**[01:39] ---**
What would you have me do?
**[01:42] ---**
Kawaki or Boruto Uzumaki...
**[01:45] ---**
Consecrate either one of them to Ten Tails
**[01:48] ---**
and cultivate a divine tree.
**[01:50] ---**
Then procure the Chakra Fruit
that the Divine Tree bears.
**[01:54] ---**
It is the crystallization of a planet's life.
**[01:57] ---**
It shall contain everything.
**[02:00] ---**
A record of all life that ever
lived and died on this planet,
**[02:04] ---**
including me.
**[02:08] ---**
Eat it and update yourself, Code.
**[02:14] ---**
You will become a new Otsutsuki.
**[02:19] ---**
Then go forth and devour life
on planet after planet
**[02:23] ---**
across this space.
**[02:25] ---**
Keep evolving...
**[02:27] ---**
until you become a peerless,
unique existence.
**[02:30] ---**
A god.
**[02:33] ---**
That is the will of the Otsutsuki...
**[02:38] ---**
that you shall inherit...
**[02:41] ---**
Code...
**[02:51] ---**
I understand.
**[02:53] ---**
I promise I'll carry it out.
**[02:56] ---**
I won't let anyone call me defective anymore.
**[03:01] ---**
No one!
***SIGN*** 1\fs30}Claw Marks*
**[04:41] ---**
What are these mysterious things?
**[04:46] ---**
Mr. Shikamaru, I've brought him with me.
**[04:50] ---**
Oh, you're here!
**[04:51] ---**
What did you want with me?
**[04:53] ---**
Kawaki, take a look at these.
**[04:58] ---**
My subordinate found them
this morning.
**[04:59] ---**
As far as we can tell,
**[05:01] ---**
these markings don't match
any ninjutsu that we know of.
**[05:04] ---**
We had a hunch that maybe
you might know something.
**[05:07] ---**
Yeah, I'll never forget them.
**[05:11] ---**
Those are Code's Claw Marks.
**[05:33] ---**
I finally found it.
**[05:46] ---**
Huh?
**[05:49] ---**
So cold!
**[05:50] ---**
Who are you?
**[05:52] ---**
Do you know where you are?
**[05:55] ---**
This is Boro's cult facility, right?
**[05:57] ---**
I'm an acquaintance of his.
**[05:59] ---**
Anyway, could you just let me inside?
**[06:01] ---**
Lord Boro's orders
are to not let anyone through.
**[06:05] ---**
Good grief,
**[06:06] ---**
you're still following Boro's orders?
**[06:09] ---**
Honestly, you're so stupid.
**[06:12] ---**
Hey, stop!
**[06:14] ---**
Stop right there!
**[06:19] ---**
I'm telling you to stop!
Can't you hear me?!
**[06:21] ---**
Still, I guess it makes sense.
**[06:23] ---**
Only an idiot would work as a guard
**[06:26] ---**
in this freaking freezing back country.
**[06:49] ---**
Are you stupid?
**[06:51] ---**
How can you just gratefully take medicine
**[06:53] ---**
made by a fraud like Amado?
**[06:56] ---**
I don't take it because I want to.
**[06:58] ---**
If I don't do anything,
this thing that Momoshiki put on me
**[07:02] ---**
would gradually dissolve into my body.
**[07:06] ---**
Yeah,
**[07:07] ---**
when that happens,
**[07:08] ---**
you'll become a complete vessel
for Momoshiki.
**[07:11] ---**
Don't act as if it's not your problem.
**[07:13] ---**
Oh man...
**[07:15] ---**
It would be great if my Karma
just disappeared, like yours.
**[07:21] ---**
Code's Claw Marks
were found near the Village.
**[07:25] ---**
Code?
**[07:26] ---**
You mean that Inner from Kara?
**[07:27] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:30] ---**
It's convenient that he'd show himself.
**[07:33] ---**
Let's foil his plans.
**[07:35] ---**
You shouldn't underestimate him.
**[07:38] ---**
Code is different from the others.
**[07:40] ---**
He's special.
**[07:52] ---**
Stop! This is your last warning!
**[07:56] ---**
Yeah...
**[07:57] ---**
It's the last one you'll give
in your lifetime.
**[08:02] ---**
Damn it!
**[08:20] ---**
He disappeared!
**[08:21] ---**
What's going on here?!
**[08:26] ---**
What is this?!
**[08:32] ---**
Hey, behind you!
**[08:34] ---**
You're too slow.
**[08:39] ---**
Damn it!
**[09:01] ---**
S-Stop, don't do it!
**[09:04] ---**
In that case, could you answer my questions?
**[09:07] ---**
He can move...
from Claw Mark to Claw Mark?
**[09:11] ---**
Once he visits a place,
as long as he leaves a Claw Mark,
**[09:15] ---**
he can come back to it at any time.
**[09:17] ---**
That sounds like cheating.
**[09:19] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:20] ---**
That bastard is the only one aside from me,
**[09:23] ---**
who survived Jigen's Ritual, after all.
**[09:26] ---**
Ritual?
**[09:28] ---**
Oh, that!
**[09:33] ---**
It's a ritual to screen
Otsutsuki vessel candidates.
**[09:41] ---**
Countless people who didn't qualify
for a Karma died.
**[09:52] ---**
The only survivors are me and Code.
**[09:56] ---**
No...
**[09:57] ---**
More accurately, he actually failed.
**[10:00] ---**
He had a severe seizure
and didn't become a Vessel.
**[10:03] ---**
But for some reason, he didn't die.
**[10:06] ---**
He survived,
**[10:07] ---**
and just like me,
he was compatible with Karma.
**[10:10] ---**
So, then Code has a Karma too?
**[10:13] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[10:15] ---**
it's a White Karma that only
retained its function as a weapon.
**[10:23] ---**
What do you want to know?
**[10:26] ---**
There's someone I want to see.
**[10:27] ---**
She should be here.
**[10:44] ---**
I missed!
**[10:47] ---**
He keeps moving around.
**[10:55] ---**
Leave this to me.
**[11:01] ---**
What an unhealthy-looking kid.
**[11:05] ---**
Hey, aren't you cold dressed like that?
**[11:09] ---**
I'll show you something cool.
**[11:33] ---**
You're surprisingly
light on your feet, aren't you?
**[11:36] ---**
Good grief.
**[11:37] ---**
It looks like cleaning up all these corpses
**[11:38] ---**
is going to be a chore.
**[11:40] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:06] ---**
Whoa, you're kidding, right?
**[12:08] ---**
Just watch.
**[12:09] ---**
With all the performance enhancers
he's taken, it's not over yet.
**[12:52] ---**
I've got you!
**[12:59] ---**
I...
**[13:00] ---**
I can't move!
**[13:09] ---**
The reaction that occurred
in Code's body was astounding.
**[13:13] ---**
Just his combat skills exceeded even Jigen's.
**[13:17] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[13:19] ---**
Almost all of the members of the Kara
**[13:21] ---**
have been modified to strengthen
their physical attributes,
**[13:24] ---**
but it's the opposite in Code's case.
**[13:26] ---**
He asked to be modified
to check his formidable strength.
**[13:30] ---**
He worshipped Jigen and didn't
want to undermine his authority.
**[13:36] ---**
Damn it! Where did that bastard go?
**[13:39] ---**
I'm over here.
**[13:40] ---**
Huh?
**[13:48] ---**
An enemy who surpasses Jigen?
**[13:51] ---**
The truth is...
**[13:52] ---**
I've heard that several of
the cyborgs that Amado had created...
**[13:55] ---**
greatly surpassed Jigen.
**[13:58] ---**
But Jigen ordered all of them
to be disposed of.
**[14:18] ---**
Moving around warmed me up a bit.
**[14:20] ---**
But it doesn't change the fact
that it's cold.
**[14:23] ---**
Gotta get inside.
**[14:28] ---**
I never would have expected that
Code's already been near the Village.
**[14:31] ---**
I think it's safe to assume
that his ability to move
**[14:34] ---**
from Claw Mark to Claw Mark is like
Lord Fourth's Flying Raijin.
**[14:38] ---**
So far, we've found a total of four
Claw Marks outside of the wall.
**[14:44] ---**
We've assigned surveillance
in teams of three at each spot,
**[14:46] ---**
but it wouldn't be unusual
if he shows up at any time.
**[14:50] ---**
Another possibility is that
those four are a bluff,
**[14:52] ---**
a decoy meant to throw us into chaos.
**[14:55] ---**
The more personnel we devote
to these Claw Marks,
**[14:58] ---**
the more short-handed we'll be
inside of the village.
**[15:01] ---**
I can't believe
just a single surviving member
**[15:03] ---**
is giving us this much trouble.
**[15:05] ---**
Sasuke was going after Code, wasn't he?
**[15:08] ---**
Have you received any word from him?
**[15:09] ---**
At the moment, we haven't.
**[15:11] ---**
I want you to share
this information with him.
**[15:14] ---**
It's most likely that Code...
intends to kill Sasuke and me.
**[15:19] ---**
We think so as well.
**[15:21] ---**
Code is targeting those who were
involved in Isshiki's death:
**[15:24] ---**
Naruto, Sasuke, Boruto,
Kawaki and Amado.
**[15:28] ---**
We'll enhance protection for all five of you.
**[15:31] ---**
He's got unfinished business
with us.
**[15:33] ---**
He'll likely seize
the first opportunity to show up.
**[15:41] ---**
So, that's why we'll be
placing a guard with you.
**[15:45] ---**
You say it's a guard,
but it's actually a spy, right?
**[15:49] ---**
If the end result is that I'm protected,
**[15:51] ---**
I don't care either way.
**[15:52] ---**
You're the only one
who can disable Code's limiters.
**[15:57] ---**
In other words,
you're the most important person
**[15:59] ---**
with concern to the safety of the village.
**[16:03] ---**
I'm not a pro like you guys.
**[16:05] ---**
If Code kidnaps and tortures me,
I know I'll break pretty easily.
**[16:11] ---**
Do your best to protect me.
**[16:13] ---**
You're always so tactful
**[16:15] ---**
and use the information only you
know to maximize your advantage.
**[16:19] ---**
You're a parasite,
through and through, aren't you?
**[16:22] ---**
That's the only way
a weakling like myself can survive.
**[16:25] ---**
Pay close attention
to Code's movements.
**[16:32] ---**
I would have done that
even without your advice.
**[16:35] ---**
I doubt that even he would
try to take on the Leaf
**[16:38] ---**
at his current power.
**[16:40] ---**
That is exactly why
the first thing he will do is
**[16:43] ---**
take steps to remove his limiter.
**[16:55] ---**
Hey, Bug.
**[16:57] ---**
Why if it isn't Code!
**[16:59] ---**
How did you find this place?
**[17:01] ---**
It took a lot of work to find it.
**[17:03] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[17:04] ---**
On an errand for Jigen?
**[17:06] ---**
You don't even know, huh?
**[17:08] ---**
Jigen is dead.
**[17:10] ---**
And so is Boro.
**[17:11] ---**
Hey, now. Trouble's afoot, I see.
**[17:14] ---**
What's happening?
**[17:15] ---**
Sorry, but I didn't come here
to explain such trivial matters.
**[17:20] ---**
By the way...
**[17:21] ---**
how's Eida?
**[17:24] ---**
W-What are you talking about?
**[17:28] ---**
Boro secretly stored several cyborgs here
**[17:32] ---**
that Jigen ordered to be scrapped.
**[17:35] ---**
Could you take me to her?
**[17:37] ---**
I have no intention of defying you, but...
**[17:41] ---**
Are you sure that Boro is a-actually dead?
**[17:44] ---**
If you're lying, I'll—!
**[17:50] ---**
All right!
**[17:52] ---**
But you're paying me, got it?
**[17:56] ---**
If he removes his limiter,
**[17:58] ---**
honestly, it's game over.
**[18:02] ---**
I have an idea.
**[18:05] ---**
Implant a Karma on him...
**[18:08] ---**
and turn him into your own Vessel.
**[18:10] ---**
My own... Vessel?
**[18:12] ---**
Mind you, this is only a hypothesis,
**[18:15] ---**
but if you're able to do that,
**[18:16] ---**
you can eliminate Code's existence
from the world.
**[18:20] ---**
Implanting a Karma on someone else...
**[18:24] ---**
Do you think it's possible?
**[18:27] ---**
At the very least,
**[18:28] ---**
we know he survived having
a Karma implanted into him...
**[18:30] ---**
That's what's key.
**[18:32] ---**
If it were easy for Karma to stick,
**[18:35] ---**
Jigen wouldn't have had so much trouble.
**[18:38] ---**
Targeting someone who has
already survived the procedure
**[18:41] ---**
makes sense.
**[18:43] ---**
Plus, he isn't anyone else's Vessel.
**[18:46] ---**
But you know, implanting a Karma into someone
**[18:49] ---**
and turning them into your Vessel...
**[18:51] ---**
Doesn't that mean I'd be sacrificing
someone else in my place?!
**[18:54] ---**
I can't do that!
**[18:56] ---**
What are you saying at this point, you idiot?
**[18:58] ---**
Do you want to die?!
**[18:59] ---**
You've got no choice but to do it.
**[19:03] ---**
Code is different from the guys
we've encountered before.
**[19:06] ---**
He's not the type of enemy
**[19:07] ---**
you'd normally want to
go up against.
**[19:16] ---**
Hey, are you listening, Boruto?!
**[19:18] ---**
It's a fact that we can't just keep
depending on my dad forever.
**[19:22] ---**
We gotta step up.
**[19:27] ---**
I don't know how strong this Code is...
**[19:30] ---**
But do you know, Kawaki?
**[19:32] ---**
What we shinobi do in times like these?
**[19:35] ---**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[19:38] ---**
We train,
**[19:41] ---**
obviously!
**[19:49] ---**
Here. That's her.
**[19:58] ---**
Hey, Eida.
**[20:00] ---**
The one who knows everything
in this world...
**[20:07] ---**
What in the world
are you stirring up, Code?
**[20:10] ---**
Does it matter to you?
**[20:12] ---**
O-Of course it does!
**[20:14] ---**
I'm the one who's
in charge of caring for her.
**[20:17] ---**
That Boro...
**[20:18] ---**
I don't know what he was plotting,
but he deserved what he got.
**[20:23] ---**
I can't believe he disobeyed Jigen
and actually preserved her.
**[20:27] ---**
If you ask me, your knowing
about her is more of surprise.
**[20:32] ---**
Why didn't you report
Boro's transgression to Jigen?
**[20:36] ---**
'Cuz I wasn't sure of it
until I saw her for myself.
**[20:39] ---**
Plus, if Boro were to incur Jigen's wrath.
**[20:43] ---**
I'd be the one who'd end up
having to dispose of him.
**[20:46] ---**
And even I don't have the heart...
to take down a good buddy.
**[20:51] ---**
Yeah right.
**[20:53] ---**
I bet you wouldn't even blink.
**[20:56] ---**
Well, I never dreamed the day would come
**[20:59] ---**
when she'd come in handy.
**[21:01] ---**
Let's wake her up.
**[21:03] ---**
We'll talk after.
**[21:10] ---**
I hope you understand
how her powers work.
**[21:16] ---**
"She who knows everything in this world..."
**[21:18] ---**
That's all I've heard.
**[21:20] ---**
I don't even want to know
what you plan to have her do,
**[21:25] ---**
but you know...
**[21:27] ---**
I hate this.
**[21:28] ---**
What is it?!
**[21:30] ---**
Just spill it.
**[21:31] ---**
You can't make her obey using brute force.
**[21:35] ---**
She's in a completely different class.
**[21:39] ---**
I've had enough outta you.
**[21:49] ---**
You bastard!
**[21:50] ---**
I wasn't done explaining!
**[21:53] ---**
If I want to know, I'll ask her directly.
**[21:56] ---**
If she defies me, I'll just kill her.
**[22:09] ---**
E-Eida!
**[22:40] ---**
'Morning, Eida.
**[22:42] ---**
I'm Code.
**[22:44] ---**
Sorry to wake you so suddenly.
**[23:04] ---**
Hold it.
**[23:06] ---**
Can't even bother with a proper greeting?
**[23:11] ---**
I came here to talk to you.
**[23:13] ---**
However, if you can't concern
yourself with me, fine.
**[23:17] ---**
I'll dispose of you, as per Jigen's orders.
**[23:29] ---**
Go ahead and try.
**[23:40] ---**
I couldn't attack Eida.
**[23:42] ---**
Code, I told you!
**[23:44] ---**
You can't underestimate Eida!
