**[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] ---**
