[00:09] ---
    Mr. Kotaro! What happened?!
[00:12] ---
    They got us.
[00:13] ---
    They cleaned out all of
    the jewels in the safe.
[00:16] ---
    The case that you guys solved was
    just a diversion to distract us.
[00:21] ---
    Damn it!
[00:23] ---
    Seems like it's the work
    of these guys
[00:24] ---
    who call themselves noble thieves.
[00:27] ---
    The Byakuya Gang?
[00:28] ---
    They've been active in several
    other villages here and there.
[00:31] ---
    They leave no trace and
    they're anonymous.
[00:35] ---
    I'm about to investigate
    the inside of the safe.
[00:37] ---
    Let me come with you!
[00:39] ---
    You really shouldn't!
[00:40] ---
    It's too cold in there without
    appropriate clothing.
[00:43] ---
    I'm trained to endure stuff like that,
    so I'll be fine!
[00:46] ---
    So cold!
[00:47] ---
    It's kept at minus 20 degrees
    in here.
[00:51] ---
    If the temperature goes up
    even one degree,
[00:52] ---
    the alarm is programmed to go off.
[00:54] ---
    –It's near impossible to steal things in here
    – Hey, open the door!
[00:56] ---
    – without the sensors picking you up.
    – Hey, guys! Lemme out!
[00:58] ---
    Which means this was probably
    an inside job.
[01:04] ---
    I'm investigating from that angle, but…
[01:07] ---
    I hope Boruto's okay…
[01:09] ---
    He's probably shivering in there.
[02:48] ---
    The Byakuya Gang Surfaces!
    
    
    
[02:48] ---
    The Byakuya Gang Surfaces!
    
    First, let's cheers
    to the successful
[02:50] ---
    The Byakuya Gang Surfaces!
    
    
    clearing of the tunnel!
[02:52] ---
    You did such
    an amazing job, Metal!
[02:54] ---
    I think I've realized that I'm good
    at digging holes too!
[02:58] ---
    Well, you even put holes
    in the Great Stone Faces.
[03:02] ---
    Oh, but…back then…
[03:04] ---
    I got so nervous,
    but I didn't do it purpose!
[03:06] ---
    Are you thinking about
    the Byakuya Gang again?
[03:09] ---
    It's been five days already.
[03:11] ---
    I don't feel like celebrating until
    I catch those bastards.
[03:15] ---
    Konohamaru Sensei warned you
    not to take any action on your own.
[03:19] ---
    But it makes me so frustrated!
[03:21] ---
    Hey, what are noble thieves?
[03:23] ---
    Noble thieves steal from the rich
    to give to the poor and needy.
[03:29] ---
    No matter what the excuse,
    stealing is stealing.
[03:33] ---
    Right, Sarada?
[03:34] ---
    I'm trying to read my book.
[03:36] ---
    Oooh, scary.
[03:38] ---
    Shikadai, what do you think?
[03:40] ---
    Well, people have their reasons,
    you know?
[03:44] ---
    There's more to things than what
    we see with our families at home,
[03:47] ---
    and what they teach at the Academy…
[03:51] ---
    And as we start going on missions,
[03:52] ---
    maybe that's a reality
    we'll start facing.
[03:55] ---
    Not that I know, but…
[03:57] ---
    So, what does that mean?
[03:59] ---
    It means you can't just look
    at things in black and white.
[04:03] ---
    You sound like a retired old man…
[04:05] ---
    Talking as if you've seen it all already!
[04:07] ---
    True. I can't believe
    you're the same age as us…
[04:10] ---
    Right?
[04:12] ---
    Come on, enough already.
[04:14] ---
    Never mind me.
[04:16] ---
    I just want to go with the flow
    and not stand out.
[04:19] ---
    I'm not like you.
[04:20] ---
    I never feel like poking around
    into unnecessary stuff.
[04:24] ---
    Seriously?
[04:26] ---
    I can't wait see more action.
[04:29] ---
    Anyway, can you leave me alone?
[04:30] ---
    I'm busy.
[04:32] ---
    What're you doing?
[04:34] ---
    Shogi. This is shogi.
[04:36] ---
    Dad said if I figure out
    this shogi strategy…
[04:38] ---
    he'd give me some money.
[04:40] ---
    Damn it, it's such a drag!
[04:42] ---
    Each piece is a character?
[04:45] ---
    Yeah, you could say that.
[04:47] ---
    What kind of items do you get to use?
[04:49] ---
    You see, this doesn't have levels
    or ultimate moves.
[04:52] ---
    What? Sounds boring.
[04:56] ---
    Oh…
[04:57] ---
    Why don't you move this here?
[05:00] ---
    The Gold General can't move
    diagonally or backwards.
[05:03] ---
    You mean, the moves are decided?
[05:05] ---
    You're bothering me, so shut up.
[05:08] ---
    I…think I figured it out.
[05:12] ---
    Figured what out?
[05:14] ---
    Just come!
[05:19] ---
    They're always so impetuous.
[05:22] ---
    Where do they get
    all that motivation?
[05:24] ---
    They're in the springtime
    of their youth!
[05:27] ---
    Think so?
[05:28] ---
    Huh? You're leaving too, Shikadai?
[05:30] ---
    Yeah.
[05:31] ---
    I'm stuck…
[05:33] ---
    so I'm gonna try moving to
    another spot and rethink things.
[05:38] ---
    Do you know what this is?
[05:39] ---
    A flower?
[05:41] ---
    The correct answer
    is "a frozen flower."
[05:43] ---
    I found it in front of the bank safe.
[05:45] ---
    I was thinking,
[05:47] ---
    how does a flower that was
    outside the safe get frozen?
[05:50] ---
    Then I remembered something.
[05:52] ---
    WATER—WIND—ICE
    
    Ice Style?
[05:53] ---
    WATER—WIND—ICE
    
    You mean, an Ice jutsu?
[05:56] ---
    FIRE
    
    WATER— WIND
    
    EARTH — LIGHTNING
    
    You know that we use
    five styles of ninjutsu…
[06:00] ---
    Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning,
    and Wind, right?
[06:06] ---
    An Academy lesson, right now?
[06:09] ---
    But there are other styles of jutsu
    in the world.
[06:12] ---
    Jutsu passed on only to certain clans,
    called Kekkei Genkai.
[06:18] ---
    Is that like the Sharingan
    of the Uchiha Clan?
[06:21] ---
    Yeah.
[06:22] ---
    And the Ice Style seems
    to be a rare jutsu
[06:25] ---
    used by shinobi whose roots
    are in the Land of Snow.
[06:28] ---
    I'm starting to see
    what you're getting at.
[06:29] ---
    Maybe that Ice Style user is able
[06:31] ---
    to bring his body temperature down
    to minus 20 degrees, right?
[06:35] ---
    You're pretty sharp.
[06:36] ---
    That's why the thermal sensors
    in the safe didn't go off.
[06:40] ---
    And if the suspect used the Ice Style
    before he entered the safe,
[06:44] ---
    it would explain why
    the flower got frozen…
[06:47] ---
    We have to let Mr. Kotaro
    know right away—
[06:50] ---
    Hold it!
[06:51] ---
    Did you forget?
[06:52] ---
    Missions that involve confronting
    shinobi are B-ranked.
[06:55] ---
    But we genin are only allowed up
    to C-ranked missions.
[06:59] ---
    If you're gonna be a sucker
    and report this,
[07:01] ---
    we'll totally be left out of the loop.
[07:04] ---
    So, you're saying we should pretend
    we don't know this?
[07:07] ---
    You got a complaint?
[07:08] ---
    I like your idea.
[07:10] ---
    Then it's decided.
[07:11] ---
    So? Can you figure out
    their whereabouts?
[07:14] ---
    I don't have a clue.
[07:15] ---
    Then don't get our hopes up.
[07:18] ---
    It's too hard with just this.
[07:20] ---
    Shino Sensei might know something
    about Ice Style.
[07:23] ---
    If we go to him,
[07:25] ---
    he'll figure out that we're trying
    to take on the shinobi.
[07:28] ---
    Well? Do you have
    anyone else in mind?
[07:32] ---
    I just might…
[07:33] ---
    But he's kinda strange.
[07:37] ---
    Today is the day when I'll take
    a giant step in ninjutsu research!
[07:45] ---
    – Wha—?
    – Uh-huh…
[07:48] ---
    Oh, how embarrassing…
[07:50] ---
    I was experimenting with
    going through a wall…
[07:53] ---
    but it seems I'm still a ways off.
[07:56] ---
    How do you know him?
[07:57] ---
    He hangs around my dad.
[07:59] ---
    He does "weird research,"
[08:02] ---
    and invites himself over
    to the house a lot.
[08:04] ---
    Come on, young master…
[08:06] ---
    I just have passion.
[08:09] ---
    But you see, every time he comes,
    he slips me the newest game software.
[08:13] ---
    Speaking of which, Young Lord,
    I got a hold of another one!
[08:16] ---
    What? No kidding! Really?
[08:17] ---
    Young Lord?
[08:19] ---
    Hey, Boruto…
[08:21] ---
    Oh yeah, we wanna
    ask you something.
[08:25] ---
    Do you know about Ice Style?
[08:27] ---
    Last time…
[08:32] ---
    Paper Bomb?!
[08:33] ---
    I found it in my dad's room!
[08:39] ---
    Looks like fun, eh?
[08:41] ---
    And? What're you gonna do with it?
[08:42] ---
    Just watch…
[08:45] ---
    Don't move…!
[08:50] ---
    Ouch!
[08:51] ---
    Don't pull stupid pranks!
[08:56] ---
    I'll go get some ice, so wait here.
[08:58] ---
    PAWN
    
[09:02] ---
    Let's go.
[09:04] ---
    Yeah.
[09:07] ---
    Absolutely. By using the Ice Style,
    it's possible
[09:09] ---
    to sneak into a safe without
    triggering the sensors.
[09:14] ---
    Just as we thought.
[09:16] ---
    A gang of thieves
    who use the Ice Style?
[09:19] ---
    How interesting.
[09:20] ---
    Got any ideas about where guys
    like them might hang out?
[09:23] ---
    I'm not sure if this is any help, but…
[09:26] ---
    But one place does
    come to mind.
[09:31] ---
    I didn't know there was a place
    like this in the village.
[09:33] ---
    I'm not surprised that
    you don't know, Young Lord.
[09:36] ---
    There are many sides to
    a place where people gather.
[09:39] ---
    There are so many interesting things.
[09:42] ---
    This is just the tip of the iceberg.
[09:44] ---
    This village has a black market
    where items
[09:46] ---
    that can never be made public
    are bought and sold.
[09:50] ---
    Due to the nature of my work,
    I check it out sometimes…
[09:54] ---
    And I found a peculiar posting.
[09:57] ---
    This is a message board strictly
    for those who wish to barter secretly.
[10:01] ---
    It's not just graffiti?
[10:03] ---
    See this right here?
[10:05] ---
    It seems to be looking for a buyer
    for the jewels that you're searching for.
[10:08] ---
    The trade is set for tomorrow afternoon.
[10:11] ---
    It's probably the perp.
[10:13] ---
    Then let's pretend to be the buyer
    and ambush them!
[10:17] ---
    Damn Byakuya Gang!
[10:19] ---
    I'm gonna get 'em for sure!
[10:21] ---
    Oh… Here's the part
    I've been looking for!
[10:23] ---
    Here too!
[10:24] ---
    The elusive Kagemasa Limited
    Edition Doll is on sale here, Young Lord!
[10:34] ---
    Damn it…
[10:36] ---
    This strategy doesn't work either.
[10:37] ---
    I'm really in a rut.
[10:41] ---
    I can't think it through all by myself.
[10:44] ---
    Hey…
[10:46] ---
    You dropped this.
[10:50] ---
    PAWN
    
    Oh…
[10:51] ---
    That's right, I was missing a piece.
[10:53] ---
    Thanks!
[10:54] ---
    Sure.
[10:55] ---
    I watched you save the boy earlier.
[10:59] ---
    Oh, back then?
[11:01] ---
    That was kinda embarrassing…
[11:04] ---
    Saving someone is embarrassing?
[11:06] ---
    Don't try to bait me.
[11:09] ---
    You're playing such an ancient game.
[11:12] ---
    Don't you have friends instead
    of playing by yourself?
[11:16] ---
    Are you always this way?
[11:18] ---
    What do you mean?
[11:19] ---
    I guess by making snide remarks,
[11:22] ---
    it doesn't hurt if people don't like you.
[11:25] ---
    Yup, you're right.
[11:30] ---
    Each piece can only make
    certain moves, right?
[11:33] ---
    You're gonna say it's boring, right?
[11:36] ---
    No. I think it's pretty interesting.
[11:45] ---
    They say shogi without pawns
    is a loser's game.
[11:48] ---
    But even the weakest-looking pawn
    must never be overlooked.
[11:53] ---
    Every pawn exists to protect the King,
[11:57] ---
    and is only there to serve
    his purpose, right?
[11:59] ---
    Well, that's the name of the game.
[12:03] ---
    Checkmate…right?
[12:05] ---
    Are you kidding me?
[12:06] ---
    I'm stuck.
[12:08] ---
    How do I get away?
[12:12] ---
    You're…the King?
[12:14] ---
    Well, if the King is taken,
    it's game over.
[12:17] ---
    So, you're right.
[12:20] ---
    So, I'm a pawn?
[12:22] ---
    A pawn who makes it into enemy territory
    is called an upstart,
[12:25] ---
    and gets promoted to
    a Gold General.
[12:27] ---
    So it turns into another piece?
[12:30] ---
    Not just the pawn.
    The Silver General, the Knight…
[12:33] ---
    They can all become Gold Generals.
[12:36] ---
    I see…
[12:37] ---
    Okay…checkmate.
[12:39] ---
    Hey, seriously?!
[12:42] ---
    No do-overs, right?
[12:44] ---
    Yeah, but…
[12:55] ---
    What's that? The Rook?
[12:57] ---
    You have the Rook?!
[12:58] ---
    The Silver General.
[12:59] ---
    Time to quit!
[13:00] ---
    I can't even see the pieces.
[13:02] ---
    Yeah, it's gotten so dark.
[13:04] ---
    I'm always getting
    beaten by my dad…
[13:08] ---
    So today was kinda fun.
[13:11] ---
    You father's that good?
[13:13] ---
    What does he do?
[13:15] ---
    He's an aide to the Hokage.
[13:19] ---
    I see…
[13:21] ---
    You can have this.
[13:22] ---
    Are you sure?
[13:23] ---
    I have more at home.
[13:25] ---
    Practice hard.
[13:27] ---
    And…if you want,
    let's play again tomorrow.
[13:32] ---
    Okay.
[13:38] ---
    I'm home.
[13:40] ---
    Oh, you're back unusually early.
[13:43] ---
    I wanna be home to have dinner
    with my family once in a while.
[13:57] ---
    Dad…
[13:58] ---
    So you're finally serious
    about learning it, huh?
[14:01] ---
    That's not it…
[14:09] ---
    You look happy.
[14:11] ---
    Did something happen?
[14:12] ---
    Not really…
[14:14] ---
    Anyway, can you teach me
    some new board tactics?
[14:18] ---
    Let's see…
[14:19] ---
    It's a little too soon to teach you
    Climbing Silver.
[14:23] ---
    Don't be stingy.
[14:25] ---
    By the way, I hear Boruto's up
    to his old tricks again.
[14:29] ---
    Beats me.
[14:31] ---
    I saw him and Mitsuki earlier with
[14:32] ---
    some weird-looking clothes
    they bought.
[14:35] ---
    With stuff like that,
    he's just like his old man.
[14:40] ---
    I see, this is…
[14:42] ---
    Climbing Silver uses frontline soldiers
    to breakthrough enemy territory.
[14:45] ---
    When I was still a snot-nosed brat…
[14:47] ---
    Dinner's ready!
[14:49] ---
    Sacrifice is the price you pay
[14:52] ---
    to protect the King from an opponent
    who is better than you.
[14:56] ---
    Oh…
[14:57] ---
    Dinner is ready…
[15:00] ---
    When I was your age,
    I hated tactics like this.
[15:06] ---
    But one day, my Sensei…
[15:09] ---
    D-Dad!
[15:13] ---
    I said…dinner's ready, damn it!
[15:29] ---
    Right on time.
[15:31] ---
    The gold is in here.
[15:35] ---
    I brought the gold as promised.
[15:38] ---
    So let me see the goods you brought.
[15:42] ---
    Toss the bag over.
[15:44] ---
    First, the jewel.
[15:46] ---
    We can cancel this, you know.
[15:52] ---
    Sarada, now!
[15:58] ---
    Boruto Uzumaki of Team 7…is here!
[16:02] ---
    Don't make a fuss,
    and hand over that jewel.
[16:05] ---
    Huh?!
[16:11] ---
    Wind Style: Wind Scythe Jutsu!
[16:19] ---
    Don't move.
[16:20] ---
    If you do, that man will die.
[16:24] ---
    Paper Bombs!
[16:25] ---
    I-I was being threatened,
    that's all!
[16:28] ---
    Looks like the Byakuya Gang
    really likes to play dirty.
[16:32] ---
    Same goes for you,
[16:34] ---
    why would kids like you side
    with the rich?
[16:36] ---
    Huh?
[16:37] ---
    Taking from the rich,
    to give to the poor and needy.
[16:42] ---
    That's our noble mission!
[16:45] ---
    You steal from people and
    you call it noble?!
[16:48] ---
    The rich themselves are thieves,
[16:51] ---
    who've stolen happiness from the poor,
    for their own greed!
[16:54] ---
    That's just an excuse!
[16:57] ---
    I guess it's too hard for a spoiled
    Leaf brat to understand, after all.
[17:02] ---
    If you want the jewel that much,
    you can have it.
[17:13] ---
    Let's go after him!
[17:25] ---
    Isn't it weird?
[17:27] ---
    Why didn't he use the Paper Bombs?
[17:30] ---
    I dunno…
[17:31] ---
    But these frozen tracks…
[17:33] ---
    It's like he wants us to follow him.
[17:36] ---
    You think it's a trap?
[17:37] ---
    Even if it is, we've got to go!
[17:50] ---
    Looks like some apparatus
    to draw water.
[17:52] ---
    I wonder if it's broken?
[17:55] ---
    Here too.
[18:00] ---
    Don't let your guard down.
[18:24] ---
    Something's weird.
[18:30] ---
    Hey, did a guy in
    a scary mask just pass by?
[18:37] ---
    My legs!
[18:38] ---
    Damn it!
[18:38] ---
    Take a good look around you,
    Boruto Uzumaki.
[18:42] ---
    This village is high above ground.
[18:44] ---
    Can you understand
    how precious water is here?
[18:47] ---
    The only way to get water
    is to draw it
[18:49] ---
    from the river below with
    a water wheel!
[18:51] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[18:52] ---
    But the water wheel broke down
    from use.
[18:56] ---
    As a result, the villagers must walk
    three hours one way
[19:00] ---
    just to get drinking water.
[19:02] ---
    You live without a care
    in the world in the city,
[19:05] ---
    I bet you can't even begin
    to imagine this.
[19:07] ---
    Why don't they fix the water wheel?
[19:09] ---
    Do you think a poor village like this
    can afford the cost of fixing it?!
[19:15] ---
    I'll let you in
    on something interesting.
[19:17] ---
    The jewels are no longer
    in my possession.
[19:20] ---
    What do you mean?
[19:23] ---
    The water wheel's working!
[19:25] ---
    Do you get it?
[19:27] ---
    The jewels that were just
    locked away in the safe,
[19:30] ---
    became the funds to repair
    the village water wheel!
[19:44] ---
    Will we run out of water again?
[19:46] ---
    Everything will be okay.
[19:48] ---
    Take them back if you can,
    Boruto Uzumaki!
[19:56] ---
    What's wrong, Boruto?
[20:07] ---
    Here you are!
[20:09] ---
    I told you not to act alone!
[20:13] ---
    Big Bro Konohamaru…I…
[20:16] ---
    About that jewelry heist…
[20:18] ---
    The losses will be covered fully
    by insurance.
[20:21] ---
    So, don't worry about it anymore.
[20:23] ---
    I'll do better next time.
[20:26] ---
    Listen, Boruto…
[20:28] ---
    You don't have enough
    mission experience under your belt
[20:30] ---
    to get depressed over
    one or two failures.
[20:33] ---
    Don't forget that.
[20:39] ---
    You're late.
[20:42] ---
    You planned to use the jewels
    as a lure
[20:43] ---
    to get money from foolish rich people?
[20:47] ---
    All I wanted was to be like you
    and save lots of people.
[20:52] ---
    Yet you failed.
[20:56] ---
    Your desire is noble…
[20:58] ---
    But don't be impatient.
[21:00] ---
    My next plan is already in the works.
[21:03] ---
    We're following the strategy
    you came up with.
[21:08] ---
    I have guard duty. Excuse me.
[21:15] ---
    He's gotten arrogant too.
[21:29] ---
    Oh…
[21:32] ---
    Huh?
[21:32] ---
    Hey, are you alone?
[21:34] ---
    Do you need a playing partner?
[21:37] ---
    It's okay.
    I'm waiting for someone.
[21:40] ---
    Oh yeah?
[21:42] ---
    Sorry I bothered you.
[21:49] ---
    I shoulda asked his name at least.
[23:27] ---
    Hey! You're that guy from—!
[23:29] ---
    Wait!
[23:30] ---
    We can't.
[23:30] ---
    We don't have authorization
    to engage!
[23:32] ---
    You guys, lend us a hand!
[23:35] ---
    I'll engage them.
[23:36] ---
    You can just use jutsu to
    create diversions!
[23:38] ---
    Don't you think we should just keep
    an eye on the situation?
[23:42] ---
    Next time on Boruto
    Naruto Next Generations:
[23:44] ---
    "Shikadai's Doubts"
    
    
[23:46] ---
    If you do that,
    when push comes to shove,
    
    
[23:49] ---
    you'll end up letting
    the most important thing pass you by.
    
    
[23:51] ---
    SHIKADAI'S DOUBTS
