[00:21] ---
    I can't believe you're qualified
    to be a Vessel.
[00:25] ---
    What makes you so special?
[00:28] ---
    I don't think I'm special at all!
[00:37] ---
    I'm jealous of you, Kawaki...
[00:39] ---
    And I hate you so much that it's unbearable.
[00:45] ---
    If you weren't the chosen Vessel,
[00:48] ---
    I'd kill you right now with my bare hands.
SIGN    fs40\i1\pos(465,101)}Qualifications*
[02:43] ---
    Kawaki, your checkup is over.
[02:46] ---
    You were groaning.
[02:47] ---
    Did you have a bad dream?
[02:49] ---
    Yeah.
[02:50] ---
    That damn Code, whiny and resentful
    as always... even in my dreams.
[02:54] ---
    Even though I'm not a Vessel anymore.
[02:58] ---
    Your assessment is wrong.
[03:03] ---
    You're still Otsutsuki Isshiki's Vessel
[03:06] ---
    and that will never change.
[03:09] ---
    What are you talking about?
[03:12] ---
    Isshiki's soul, which was supposed
    to be placed into a Vessel,
[03:15] ---
    was extinguished,
[03:16] ---
    eliminating any chance of him possessing you.
[03:19] ---
    But...
[03:21] ---
    It doesn't change the fact that
    you are still his Vessel.
[03:26] ---
    Stop saying that at this point!
[03:28] ---
    I don't want to hear it!
[03:30] ---
    Your body remaining Otsutsukified
    is proof of that.
[03:34] ---
    Were you listening, old man?!
[03:36] ---
    I told you to stop.
[03:37] ---
    I'm fed up with you!
[03:39] ---
    You want to protect Lord Hokage, right?
[03:46] ---
    In the long run...
[03:48] ---
    quite simply, you just need
    more power to deal with Code.
[03:52] ---
    Enough to overwhelm him.
[03:55] ---
    Do you think Lord Seventh...
[03:56] ---
    can win against Code?
[03:58] ---
    Now that he lost the Nine Tails chakra,
[04:01] ---
    if he takes on Code one-on-one, I suspect...
[04:04] ---
    the Hokage will most likely die.
[04:09] ---
    You want power, don't you?
[04:12] ---
    I'll bet you've been thinking about that
[04:14] ---
    since you lost your Karma.
[04:16] ---
    Get to the point.
[04:19] ---
    Take it for yourself.
[04:20] ---
    Now that Isshiki is gone...
[04:22] ---
    gain a brand-new power...
[04:25] ---
    in the form of Karma that's purely a weapon.
[04:30] ---
    You have the qualifications.
[04:33] ---
    You want me to get a Karma again?
[04:36] ---
    You already know.
[04:38] ---
    You know you subconsciously want it.
[04:41] ---
    And I'm sure you already know...
[04:44] ---
    how much I loathe the Karma.
[04:46] ---
    I do indeed.
[04:48] ---
    But I know that you're rational
[04:50] ---
    and will use any means necessary
    to achieve your goals.
[04:56] ---
    There's no point in talking to you.
[04:58] ---
    I'm leaving.
[04:59] ---
    You and I are nothing more than outsiders.
[05:02] ---
    We can't complain about getting tossed out
[05:04] ---
    once we're no longer useful.
[05:06] ---
    You don't have the power
    to protect the Hokage,
[05:09] ---
    so do you even have the right
    to remain in the Village?
[05:13] ---
    Think about it.
[05:16] ---
    It's all up to you.
[05:18] ---
    The choice is in your hands.
[05:26] ---
    Poor Kawaki...
[05:28] ---
    He wants to protect the Hokage,
[05:30] ---
    but he's frustrated
    that he can't do anything.
[05:33] ---
    It's too painful for me to watch.
[05:36] ---
    Hey, Code...
[05:37] ---
    Won't you consider letting
    the Hokage off the hook?
[05:39] ---
    Sorry, I can't do that.
[05:42] ---
    Isshiki Otsutsuki was a god to me.
[05:45] ---
    And regardless of their reasons,
    they killed that god...
[05:49] ---
    They must all be punished without exception.
[05:52] ---
    You promised not to kill Kawaki.
[05:54] ---
    I know that.
[05:56] ---
    I'll respect your wishes
[05:57] ---
    by making an exception
    and removing him from the list.
[06:00] ---
    That's all the more reason
    I can't budge on the Hokage.
[06:04] ---
    I'll deal with him personally.
[06:06] ---
    All right, fine. I get it.
[06:08] ---
    I need to keep my connection to you a secret.
[06:12] ---
    Otherwise, Kawaki will hate me.
[06:14] ---
    B-By the way... how long are
    you two sticking around here?
[06:19] ---
    Stop sweating the small stuff.
[06:22] ---
    Look... My glass is empty.
[06:25] ---
    How dare you boss me around, you bastard!
[06:28] ---
    B-But...
[06:30] ---
    there are a ton of armed soldiers
    in this facility.
[06:34] ---
    It would be smart to leave the rest to me
[06:36] ---
    and get going immediately.
[06:38] ---
    It's no big deal.
[06:40] ---
    No one can touch me.
[06:43] ---
    Even so,
[06:45] ---
    you won't get anything done
    if you continue to dawdle.
[06:48] ---
    If you want Kawaki, you need to act!
[06:53] ---
    Hurry up and get outta here, you bastards!
[06:55] ---
    Don't be so hasty.
[06:57] ---
    Kawaki and the others
    are accompanied by guards.
[06:59] ---
    Also, all five Villages are hunting Code.
[07:03] ---
    What should we do?
[07:04] ---
    Let's take our time.
[07:06] ---
    An opportunity is bound to present itself.
[07:08] ---
    My Senrigan will spot it.
[07:11] ---
    Good grief.
[07:12] ---
    This would be so much easier
    if I could get my limiters removed.
[07:17] ---
    Well, if we work together,
[07:19] ---
    we might be able to take on
    the Hokage and the Uchiha.
[07:22] ---
    Just so you know, don't expect much
    from my combat abilities.
[07:26] ---
    I dislike barbarism.
[07:28] ---
    And I hate pain.
[07:30] ---
    I see.
[07:31] ---
    You're quite delicate, aren't you?
[07:33] ---
    She's making you soft!
[07:35] ---
    Get a grip, Code!
[07:37] ---
    That's exactly why you and I
    are well aligned.
[07:41] ---
    I'll be your eyes and ears.
[07:43] ---
    And in exchange,
    you'll be my guardian knight.
[07:47] ---
    A knight, huh?
[07:49] ---
    Not bad.
[07:51] ---
    But what if you find yourself
    alone with Kawaki
[07:54] ---
    and he tries to kill you, what will you do?
[07:58] ---
    What kind of unpleasant question is that?
[08:01] ---
    Kawaki and Boruto are Otsutsuki.
[08:04] ---
    You can't bedazzle them with your charm,
[08:06] ---
    so such unforeseen circumstances
    are possible.
[08:08] ---
    I wouldn't want that to happen.
[08:11] ---
    That's true.
[08:13] ---
    I was hoping to avoid this, but...
[08:17] ---
    Come with me, Code.
[08:19] ---
    I'll introduce you to my other knight.
[08:25] ---
    Oh, it's Kawaki.
[08:27] ---
    And as usual, looking grim.
[08:31] ---
    You want power, don't you?
[08:34] ---
    I'll bet you've been thinking about that
[08:37] ---
    since you lost your Karma.
[08:40] ---
    Take it for yourself.
[08:42] ---
    Gain a Karma that's purely a weapon.
[08:46] ---
    Hey, Kawaki!
[08:48] ---
    Shut up, stop talking!
[08:57] ---
    Hey, don't stare at him!
[09:06] ---
    Let's go.
[09:09] ---
    Quit it with the glum face.
[09:11] ---
    None of them know the real you.
[09:13] ---
    Keep holding your head up high.
[09:15] ---
    That's right!
[09:17] ---
    No matter what anyone says,
    you belong in the Leaf.
[09:20] ---
    Lord Seventh deemed it,
    so you have a right to be here!
[09:25] ---
    I don't have that right.
[09:31] ---
    Sorry for making you put up with me.
[09:34] ---
    Anyway... don't worry about it so much.
[09:37] ---
    Yeah, thanks.
[09:41] ---
    I can't believe that Kawaki thanked you.
[09:43] ---
    It seems he matured a little.
[09:45] ---
    I guess that means he's gotten
    used to living in the Village.
[09:49] ---
    Yeah, I sure hope so.
[09:56] ---
    Hima, have you seen Kawaki?
[09:59] ---
    No, I haven't.
[10:01] ---
    That bastard said that he'd join me
    for training after his checkup.
[10:06] ---
    Big Brother, if you have time,
[10:09] ---
    could you do some Shinobi Sparring with me?
[10:11] ---
    No way!
[10:12] ---
    What if I injure you?
[10:15] ---
    Please! I have a test next week.
[10:17] ---
    Even if you don't practice,
    the test will be easy, right?
[10:20] ---
    No, it won't!
[10:22] ---
    Come on, Big Brother, please!
[10:27] ---
    I told you that I can't do that!
[10:30] ---
    I-I'm busy!
[10:32] ---
    Maybe another time!
[10:35] ---
    Big Brother?
[10:40] ---
    What was that about earlier?
[10:43] ---
    Hm?
[10:44] ---
    About Kawaki's Karma.
[10:46] ---
    What did you mean by that?
[10:48] ---
    Were you told to find out more about it?
[10:51] ---
    I bet Shikamaru put you up to this.
[10:54] ---
    D-Don't change the subject!
[10:58] ---
    I think the same goes for both of us.
[11:00] ---
    Well, whatever.
[11:03] ---
    Let's see...
[11:04] ---
    Let's liken "Kawaki-the-Vessel" to a house.
[11:07] ---
    The Karma would be a doorway.
[11:08] ---
    Isshiki was the homeowner
    of "Kawaki-the-house,"
[11:12] ---
    but with the doorway gone,
    he could no longer get inside.
[11:14] ---
    And shortly after, his life span ran out.
[11:15] ---
    Do you understand?
[11:17] ---
    Even though the doorway is gone,
    the house still exists.
[11:23] ---
    And within that house...
    Isshiki's power continues to sleep.
[11:30] ---
    We just have to construct another doorway.
[11:33] ---
    Does that mean you're going to reconstruct...
[11:36] ---
    Kawaki's Karma?
[11:38] ---
    I have no issues with that interpretation.
[11:40] ---
    But that's...
[11:42] ---
    The Karma is a powerful weapon.
[11:45] ---
    In combat, it will be a great advantage.
[11:48] ---
    And now, since Isshiki is gone,
    even if Kawaki regains a Karma,
[11:52] ---
    there's no fear of him
    losing control of his body.
[11:55] ---
    Therefore, he ought to pursue it.
[11:57] ---
    Especially if he's being hunted
    by a major threat.
[12:01] ---
    Is that really...
[12:03] ---
    all there is to it?
[12:04] ---
    Your reason for wanting to
    restore Kawaki's Karma...
[12:08] ---
    Isn't there anything else?
[12:13] ---
    What are you trying to get Kawaki to do
[12:15] ---
    once he regains his Karma?
[12:17] ---
    I'm not trying to keep it under wraps,
[12:19] ---
    but it's a personal matter.
[12:22] ---
    I'd rather not share it with you,
    since it doesn't involve you.
[12:24] ---
    That's the truth.
[12:27] ---
    But I assure you...
[12:29] ---
    I've zero intention of
    doing any harm to the Leaf.
[12:33] ---
    In fact, it's quite the opposite.
[12:48] ---
    What's your other knight like?
[12:51] ---
    Let's see...
[12:53] ---
    He's the only one,
    other than an Otsutsuki,
[12:55] ---
    who can kill me.
[12:57] ---
    What?
[12:58] ---
    Hey, why don't we call this off?
[13:01] ---
    Not him. Anything but him.
[13:03] ---
    Do it. Hurry.
[13:05] ---
    Damn it!
[13:23] ---
    There's no one here...
[13:25] ---
    He's doing it again.
[13:27] ---
    Hey!
[13:29] ---
    Who are you?
[13:30] ---
    Are you my sister's new man?!
[13:33] ---
    When did he do that?!
[13:35] ---
    Code, don't attack him.
[13:38] ---
    Big Sis, this one's a nice ride!
[13:42] ---
    Get off of him, Daemon.
[13:44] ---
    You promised not to jump on people
    you've just met.
[13:46] ---
    I hope you're serious about Big Sis!
[13:51] ---
    If you make her cry, I'll slaughter you!
[13:53] ---
    He's just a friend.
[13:56] ---
    Obviously, he's not my type.
[13:58] ---
    No way...
[14:00] ---
    Oh, is that right?!
[14:07] ---
    Stay away!
[14:09] ---
    You'll be killed!
[14:11] ---
    Bug, we'll wait ten seconds!
[14:13] ---
    If you don't run,
    you'll be caught in the crossfire!
[14:15] ---
    We've been ordered to immediately
    eliminate those cyborgs
[14:18] ---
    if and when they emerge.
[14:20] ---
    They found us.
[14:22] ---
    Good grief.
[14:23] ---
    Don't attack them.
[14:25] ---
    Perfect timing.
[14:27] ---
    Watch closely.
[14:28] ---
    Counting down is a waste of time.
[14:30] ---
    Let's kill them all!
[14:36] ---
    What?
[14:38] ---
    Bastard!
[14:44] ---
    You idiot.
[14:45] ---
    H-How did he do that?
[14:53] ---
    You brat!
[14:59] ---
    Is he reflecting... their attacks?
[15:03] ---
    The moment his opponent
    has the intent to kill...
[15:05] ---
    he immediately reflects
    the end result onto them.
[15:08] ---
    The stronger the intent,
    the bigger the result.
[15:12] ---
    You should be careful too, Code.
[15:15] ---
    He's pretty scary.
[15:17] ---
    Yay!
[15:20] ---
    Allow me to introduce him once more...
[15:22] ---
    this is my other knight
    and my actual little brother.
[15:26] ---
    His name is Daemon.
[15:30] ---
    Huh?
[15:36] ---
    Where do you think
    you're sneaking off to, Bug?!
[15:40] ---
    We haven't seen each other in forever!
[15:42] ---
    You're so cold!
[15:45] ---
    Damn it!
[15:46] ---
    This is why I hate this kid!
[15:50] ---
    What?!
[15:52] ---
    It looks like it activates automatically,
[15:54] ---
    regardless of his intent.
[15:56] ---
    Hey, Code, knock it off!
[15:58] ---
    What are these?
[16:00] ---
    This is what I can do.
[16:01] ---
    I can move freely
    from Claw Mark to Claw Mark.
[16:05] ---
    And I can bring one other
    person through, like this.
[16:10] ---
    It's much easier to show you
    than to explain, isn't it?
[16:14] ---
    That's so cool! I like it!
[16:16] ---
    Why, thank you.
[16:18] ---
    Mind explaining to me in a bit more detail
[16:21] ---
    how your ability works?
[16:23] ---
    Huh? Well, you see—!
[16:25] ---
    Daemon.
[16:27] ---
    Shh, remember?
[16:29] ---
    You shouldn't reveal your cards so readily.
[16:32] ---
    Oh, my.
[16:34] ---
    Guess you don't trust me.
[16:37] ---
    I told you already.
[16:39] ---
    Daemon reflects attacks.
[16:42] ---
    That's all you need to know.
[16:45] ---
    At least for the time being.
[16:47] ---
    You really are a tough nut to crack.
[16:51] ---
    Don't be offended, Code...
[16:54] ---
    We only met a little while ago, remember?
[16:56] ---
    For things like this,
    we need to take our time.
[16:59] ---
    It's still too early to show you everything.
[17:02] ---
    Bedazzlement and Senrigan.
[17:04] ---
    Of course, I won't say that I know
    everything about you based on that.
[17:08] ---
    But are you suggesting that
    you're hiding yet another ability?
[17:14] ---
    Who can say?
[17:24] ---
    Boruto, is Kawaki still out?
[17:27] ---
    I haven't seen him since I went out this morning.
[17:30] ---
    I wonder if something happened.
[17:32] ---
    He usually comes home right before dinner.
[17:35] ---
    That bastard...
[17:37] ---
    Where did he wander off to?
[17:39] ---
    Should I go and get him?
[17:40] ---
    No, it's still all right.
[17:42] ---
    It'll take a bit longer to get everything ready.
[17:45] ---
    Huh? What?
[17:46] ---
    Are we having a special fest tonight?!
[17:56] ---
    Hey, with those moves, you're going to lose.
[17:59] ---
    Oh, sorry!
[18:01] ---
    You're playing like that because
    you're distracted by something.
[18:04] ---
    Did something happen?
[18:06] ---
    It's about Kawaki.
[18:09] ---
    He seemed to be deeply troubled by something.
[18:12] ---
    I just hope I'm worrying about nothing.
[18:15] ---
    I see.
[18:18] ---
    Dad...
[18:19] ---
    Hm?
[18:20] ---
    With those moves, you're going to lose.
[18:28] ---
    Don't tell me that's what
    you're having for dinner.
[18:32] ---
    Mom's making dinner.
[18:35] ---
    I'm bored of it.
[18:37] ---
    I can have this once in a while, right?
[18:38] ---
    Come up with a better lie.
[18:41] ---
    You've never left behind
    a single grain of rice.
[18:46] ---
    You know...
[18:48] ---
    I really like this spot.
[18:50] ---
    I like gazing at the village
    that you protect from here.
[18:55] ---
    However...
[18:57] ---
    there isn't a place for me
    anywhere in this village.
[19:02] ---
    When I think about it, it makes sense.
[19:04] ---
    I'm a troublesome outsider
    who wandered into
[19:07] ---
    this trouble-free and peaceful place.
[19:13] ---
    To be honest, I was arrogant.
[19:17] ---
    I'm so uncool.
[19:22] ---
    Hey, what the heck are you doing?
[19:24] ---
    Put me down!
[19:27] ---
    We're going home...
[19:29] ---
    my stupid son.
[19:37] ---
    I said I've had enough of those dinners.
[19:40] ---
    Let's hear what you have to say
    after you've seen it.
[19:44] ---
    Kawaki, welcome home!
[19:46] ---
    You're late! What were you doing?
[19:48] ---
    Welcome home!
[19:50] ---
    What's this... all about?
[19:52] ---
    What's it about?
[19:53] ---
    It's a welcoming party for you.
[19:55] ---
    A welcoming party?
[19:56] ---
    At this point?
[19:57] ---
    Why not?
[19:59] ---
    Just accept it for what it is.
[20:00] ---
    Hurry up and sit over here.
[20:03] ---
    You kept us waiting for so long,
    I'm starving, ya know.
[20:09] ---
    You should get a new one already.
[20:11] ---
    I use it because I want to.
[20:14] ---
    The both of you are so weird.
[20:16] ---
    Listen, Kawaki...
[20:18] ---
    I was gonna give you something nice,
[20:21] ---
    but since you keep being rude,
    I'm seriously reconsidering it.
[20:24] ---
    Huh? Now you've got me curious.
[20:26] ---
    You gotta show me, at least.
[20:28] ---
    Seriously, you need to work on your attitude
[20:31] ---
    when you ask people for things, you idiot.
[20:34] ---
    Here.
[20:41] ---
    What's the big idea, Boruto?
[20:42] ---
    I broke your headband, right?
[20:45] ---
    This is to make it up to you.
[20:47] ---
    I can't accept this.
[20:49] ---
    Then you won't have one.
[20:52] ---
    I've got Mr. Sasuke's.
[20:56] ---
    If you don't want my hand-me-down,
    then just consider it a loan.
[21:02] ---
    Why not?
[21:04] ---
    That's a pretty good idea
    coming from Boruto.
[21:06] ---
    That's taking it too far!
[21:09] ---
    Kawaki, why don't you put it on?
[21:12] ---
    This is a bad joke.
[21:14] ---
    What's the problem?
[21:16] ---
    It won't do any harm!
[21:17] ---
    Give me a break.
[21:23] ---
    I wonder if Big Brother
    is worried about something.
[21:27] ---
    He looks worried sometimes.
[21:30] ---
    Kawaki, do you know anything?
[21:32] ---
    Who knows?
[21:33] ---
    I wonder if it's why he suddenly
    started to focus on training again.
[21:39] ---
    It's nothing you need to worry about.
[21:41] ---
    That may be true...
[21:43] ---
    but you know how my brother
    tends to go overboard sometimes.
[21:45] ---
    That's why I'm worried.
[21:48] ---
    I can't help him that much yet.
[21:52] ---
    Hey, Kawaki.
[21:53] ---
    If my brother ever goes overboard again...
[21:58] ---
    please look after him.
[22:01] ---
    Yeah...
[22:03] ---
    If that happens...
[22:04] ---
    I will.
[22:09] ---
    Kawaki...
[22:10] ---
    You belong here.
[22:13] ---
    If you can't feel the same way,
[22:15] ---
    then I haven't done enough as Hokage.
[22:19] ---
    I'm sorry.
[22:21] ---
    Don't worry about Code.
[22:23] ---
    We'll make sure to do something about him.
[22:25] ---
    There's no need to worry yourself about him.
[22:28] ---
    After all,
[22:30] ---
    this is the Leaf Village.
[22:32] ---
    It's a place where someone like you
    or anyone else can live at ease.
[22:38] ---
    I need it to be that way.
[22:41] ---
    Or else...
[22:42] ---
    there was no point in me becoming Hokage.
[22:57] ---
    The Leaf Village...
[22:59] ---
    The place where I belong...
[23:02] ---
    Take it for yourself.
[23:03] ---
    Gain a brand-new power...
[23:06] ---
    in the form of Karma that's purely a weapon.
[23:10] ---
    You've got to be kidding me...
[23:11] ---
    I don't need a Karma.
[23:14] ---
    There's still one thing that I can do...
[23:19] ---
    to protect the Leaf and Lord Seventh...
[23:27] ---
    Being watched 24-7 like this,
    I feel like I'm being spied on.
[23:30] ---
    It's starting to stress me out.
[23:32] ---
    Are you really that sensitive?
[23:34] ---
    Just relax.
[23:36] ---
    The village is protected by
    the sensory system.
[23:38] ---
    Unless the enemy is able to erase
    their chakra signature,
[23:41] ---
    the Sensory Team won't miss a thing.
[23:43] ---
    Erase one's chakra signature, huh?
[23:46] ---

SIGN    PRESENCE
