[00:05] ---
    In order to capture
    the Byakuya Gang,
[00:07] ---
    we need your help as genin!
[00:10] ---
    They're very elusive.
[00:12] ---
    Regrettably, our standard search
    procedures have fallen short.
[00:15] ---
    That's our current situation.
[00:17] ---
    We need you to keep
    your eyes open
[00:20] ---
    for anything unusual in the village as
    you go about your usual missions.
[00:24] ---
    If you notice anything,
[00:26] ---
    report it immediately
    to the Police Force
[00:28] ---
    or a shinobi who is ranked
    higher than a chunin.
[00:31] ---
    Sounds like a serious mission.
[00:33] ---
    We have to do our best!
[00:34] ---
    However...
[00:36] ---
    your mission is limited to
    observation and reporting,
[00:39] ---
    and depending on
    the situation, tracking.
[00:41] ---
    Only chunin and above are authorized
    to do anything beyond that.
[00:44] ---
    Does that mean we can't fight?
[00:46] ---
    We cannot authorize you genin
    to take part in any combat.
[00:50] ---
    Do not act recklessly!
[00:56] ---
    We can't fight the enemy
    even if we find them…
[00:58] ---
    That's going to be a tough mission.
[01:00] ---
    Hey, what if the enemy attacks,
    even if we don't intend to fight them?
[01:05] ---
    Then…
[01:12] ---
    We have no choice but to fight!
[01:14] ---
    Or if it's possible, capture them.
[01:19] ---
    Right, Boruto?
[01:20] ---
    W-Well, I wonder about that.
[01:24] ---
    What?
[01:25] ---
    I thought for sure you'd agree,
    it's not like you.
[01:29] ---
    Shut up!
[01:31] ---
    I've been thinking
    about it a lot too.
[03:05] ---
    Shikadai's Doubts
    
    
[03:09] ---
    Earth Style:
    Mud Wall!
[03:16] ---
    Hey, your talents are going
    to waste as ninja!
[03:20] ---
    How about it? Wanna come and
    work for our company.
[03:24] ---
    SAFETY FIRST
    
    Robbers!
[03:25] ---
    SAFETY FIRST
    
    They're wearing owl masks!
[03:28] ---
    Contact the Police Force right away!
[03:29] ---
    There's not enough time!
[03:31] ---
    We're gonna capture them!
[03:33] ---
    Iwabe!
[03:35] ---
    Wait!
[03:37] ---
    Ignore them!
[03:39] ---
    Earth Style: Mud Wall!
[03:57] ---
    You're amazing, Iwabe!
[03:59] ---
    This must be the result
    of daily training!
[04:01] ---
    It's my Mud Wall made
    of fortified bedrock.
[04:04] ---
    I've gotten stronger too!
[04:06] ---
    I'll go notify the Police Force now.
[04:12] ---
    Denki!
[04:25] ---
    Are you okay, Metal?!
[04:26] ---
    I'm sorry I caused you all
    to worry!
[04:29] ---
    Ow...!
[04:31] ---
    Metal…
[04:34] ---
    Don't exert yourself.
[04:35] ---
    It's a serious enough injury that
    you won't be able to get around for a while.
[04:39] ---
    A wound like this?!
[04:41] ---
    As long as I have some mobility,
    I can train!
[04:46] ---
    I'm sorry. It's because of me…
[04:48] ---
    No, I was careless.
[04:50] ---
    It wasn't carelessness.
[04:52] ---
    Iwabe…
[04:53] ---
    Your arrogance made this happen.
[04:57] ---
    You were told to report immediately
    upon finding the Byakuya Gang.
[05:01] ---
    Why did you disregard orders?
[05:04] ---
    Udon Sensei…
[05:06] ---
    You are all still inexperienced genin.
[05:08] ---
    Learn to face that reality.
[05:11] ---
    This time, you got off with
    just this happening.
[05:13] ---
    But one mistake could
    have cost your life.
[05:19] ---
    I'm sorry…
[05:21] ---
    Iwabe, you're to be confined
    to your house for now.
[05:25] ---
    You guys, be more careful!
[05:27] ---
    I'm going to make the report.
[05:36] ---
    Iwabe, don't worry.
[05:38] ---
    I'll do physical therapy and get stronger,
    and be good as new!
[05:42] ---
    Enough, Metal.
[05:44] ---
    Udon Sensei just told us to get realistic.
[05:47] ---
    Uh…well…
[05:49] ---
    The higher-ups make assignments
    to match our abilities.
[05:53] ---
    Over-reaching will
    only turn out to be a drag.
[05:56] ---
    And that's the reality.
[06:03] ---
    Next…a report regarding
    the Byakuya Gang
[06:05] ---
    who have recently been
    disrupting the village.
[06:07] ---
    They've gotten away
    with a huge haul this time.
[06:11] ---
    The Byakuya Gang has been stealing
    items of gold and jewels from the wealthy,
[06:14] ---
    NARIKIN BUILDING
    then selling them, and ultimately,
    distributing the proceeds
    
    
[06:17] ---
    to the poor in remote areas,
    calling themselves noble thieves.
[06:21] ---
    We had a water shortage,
[06:22] ---
    and thanks to the Byakuya Gang,
    that has been resolved.
[06:25] ---
    We're very grateful.
[06:27] ---
    They're our saviors!
[06:31] ---
    Within the Land of Fire too,
[06:32] ---
    there are increasing numbers of people
    who support the Byakuya Gang.
[06:35] ---
    It's probably an indication of
    the growing discontent in the nation.
[06:41] ---
    Why is the Byakuya Gang so popular?
[06:44] ---
    They're just thieves, right?
[06:46] ---
    It's probably because people
    just don't like the wealthy.
[06:50] ---
    Right?
[06:51] ---
    Huh? That's not fair.
[06:54] ---
    Not everyone in the world
    is going to be successful.
[07:00] ---
    Hey, Mama!
[07:02] ---
    Is the Byakuya Gang good?
    Or are they bad?
[07:05] ---
    Why the sudden curiosity?
[07:07] ---
    I saw on TV that the gang gives money
    to people in need.
[07:13] ---
    And that people like that are noble thieves
    and should be admired!
[07:18] ---
    Well…
[07:19] ---
    There's no such thing
    as a good thief, ya know.
[07:21] ---
    Huh?
[07:24] ---
    Helping the weak is fine,
    it's just the way they're going about it.
[07:29] ---
    Hurting others in the process
    is wrong.
[07:34] ---
    I see… You're right.
[07:39] ---
    But Dad's at the root of all this,
    because he's ineffective.
[07:44] ---
    It's the Hokage's job to help people
    who are in trouble.
[07:48] ---
    Not everything has an easy fix.
[07:51] ---
    There are problems that can only
    be resolved little by little, over time.
[07:56] ---
    Papa's doing his best, right?
[07:59] ---
    Yes, he is!
[08:01] ---
    I know that without you telling me!
[08:03] ---
    Anyway, I don't support
    the Byakuya Gang!
[08:06] ---
    I believe in helping people fairly
    and out in the open!
[08:14] ---
    Worrying isn't gonna do anything.
[08:17] ---
    Just take it easy for now.
[08:19] ---
    But…
[08:20] ---
    Cheer up.
[08:22] ---
    We'll come over to keep you company
    when we have time.
[08:25] ---
    Thanks, Boruto.
[08:27] ---
    But I wonder why the Byakuya Gang
    operates in such a way?
[08:32] ---
    For the sake of justice! Was that it?
[08:35] ---
    Shady people always come up
    with slogans like that.
[08:40] ---
    It's the way that they do things
    that bothers me.
[08:43] ---
    It's not cool.
[08:45] ---
    But it's a fact that there are people
    who are grateful to them.
[08:52] ---
    What, Shikadai?
[08:53] ---
    Don't tell me you're on their side?
[08:55] ---
    I don't like guys like that either.
[08:58] ---
    But there are things in the world
    that defy logic, right?
[09:03] ---
    If we only cling to one view
    and destroy the balance,
[09:05] ---
    and make the situation deteriorate,
    we'll be worse off.
[09:09] ---
    Instead of talking,
[09:11] ---
    we have to hurry up and
    capture the Byakuya Gang.
[09:13] ---
    We can't keep letting 'em do
    whatever they please!
[09:16] ---
    Only chunin and up
    can capture them.
[09:19] ---
    Don't forget that our role
    is to track only.
[09:22] ---
    I know that!
[09:24] ---
    But as long as we're on it,
    I'd like to catch them myself.
[09:28] ---
    And I just said, we can't do that.
[09:31] ---
    Face reality, will you?
[09:33] ---
    I know!
[09:36] ---
    I have to get going.
[09:39] ---
    'Kay.
[09:39] ---
    Then I'm gonna go and settle
[09:41] ---
    the real-life problem
    that's right before me.
[09:44] ---
    And just what is
    that real-life problem?
[09:47] ---
    My problem right now…
[09:48] ---
    is I'm running low on my allowance
    and can't buy games.
[09:50] ---
    So I'm gonna borrow them
    from Mr. Katasuke.
[09:53] ---
    You're going to see
    that weird guy again?
[09:56] ---
    That guy has tons of games.
[09:59] ---
    Later!
[10:00] ---
    – See you.
    – See you!
[10:02] ---
    Katasuke?
[10:03] ---
    I tagged along once.
[10:06] ---
    He's a weird adult who does
    scientific research on ninjutsu.
[10:10] ---
    He must be really weird then,
    for you to call him that.
[10:19] ---
    You're back.
[10:21] ---
    Yes.
[10:24] ---
    Okay, let's start.
[10:28] ---
    Our next target is this pawn shop.
[10:30] ---
    I've scouted the place.
[10:32] ---
    We'll enter from the back,
[10:34] ---
    steal the goods,
    and escape from the front.
[10:36] ---
    This place has
    a really bad reputation.
[10:39] ---
    If things go well,
    support for us will grow.
[10:49] ---
    Oh…
[10:50] ---
    What is it?
[10:52] ---
    Can I go on ahead?
[10:55] ---
    I want to memorize
    the layout of this area.
[10:59] ---
    Fine.
[11:00] ---
    Right!
[11:06] ---
    You sure about this?
[11:08] ---
    Let him go.
[11:09] ---
    He's my loyal pawn.
[11:12] ---
    He won't betray me.
[11:18] ---
    NINJUTSU RESEARCH CENTER
    
    Hey Mister, I came to borrow games.
[11:20] ---
    NINJUTSU RESEARCH CENTER
    
    Young Lord! Welcome!
[11:23] ---
    Please feel free to take
    any one you like.
[11:26] ---
    Wow!
[11:27] ---
    This one's the newest limited edition!
[11:30] ---
    Wow!
[11:32] ---
    That one's great.
[11:34] ---
    I already pulled an all-nighter
    and cleared every level.
[11:39] ---
    You're amazing, Mister!
[11:41] ---
    When do you work anyway?
[11:44] ---
    I work and play with
    the same seriousness.
[11:47] ---
    I'm an adult, so I can balance
    everything I do well.
[11:52] ---
    I'll have you know,
[11:53] ---
    right now I'm working on revising
    the ninjutsu database.
[11:58] ---
    If every ninjutsu is analyzed
    scientifically, in the future,
[12:01] ---
    anyone will be able to use
    all kinds of jutsu with ease.
[12:08] ---
    Technology that can help people's lives
    quicker and at less cost!
[12:13] ---
    That is my science!
[12:16] ---
    That said, reality doesn't move forward
    as fast as one wants at all.
[12:21] ---
    What? Are you also someone who
    goes on and on about reality?
[12:26] ---
    To find a way to make it
    work for you…
[12:29] ---
    That's what it means to be an adult.
[12:35] ---
    Shikadai?
[12:36] ---
    Mom!
[12:38] ---
    What're you doing here?
[12:40] ---
    Oh, well… Waiting for a friend.
[12:44] ---
    Is it Boruto?
[12:46] ---
    He has no interest in this.
[12:49] ---
    I see.
[12:50] ---
    Well, I'm going on a mission,
    so I'll be coming home late.
[12:55] ---
    Mission?
[12:56] ---
    Thanks to the Byakuya Gang,
[12:57] ---
    everyone who's chunin and above,
    is being mobilized.
[13:02] ---
    Oh, Moegi Sensei said
    something about that too.
[13:06] ---
    Dinner's all ready.
    You just have to heat it up.
[13:10] ---
    I know.
[13:12] ---
    Don't worry about me.
    Focus on your mission.
[13:15] ---
    Don't be such a smart aleck.
[13:32] ---
    What happened the other day?
[13:36] ---
    Been busy?
[13:38] ---
    Sort of.
[13:40] ---
    I guess it couldn't be helped.
[13:45] ---
    Aren't you going to ask why?
[13:47] ---
    Hmm?
[13:48] ---
    You probably have lots
    of stuff going on, right?
[13:52] ---
    Huh?
[13:53] ---
    You used that tactic last time too.
[13:57] ---
    I've been studying this tactic lately.
[14:01] ---
    Then I'll move here.
[14:03] ---
    That hand again?
[14:04] ---
    My decoy move worked.
[14:06] ---
    You fall for it a lot.
[14:08] ---
    Really? It's not like I meant to.
[14:12] ---
    You might think you're protecting
    the King over here…
[14:16] ---
    Actually, there are a lot of openings.
[14:18] ---
    Huh? Like where?
[14:19] ---
    Here.
[14:20] ---
    Oh… Right there, huh?
[14:22] ---
    I didn't see it.
[14:24] ---
    You don't see it because
    you don't go on the offensive.
[14:31] ---
    What? Already?
[14:32] ---
    You could have still recovered.
[14:34] ---
    Never mind. It's a drag.
[14:38] ---
    You're different.
[14:40] ---
    I thought you're the type
    to stick to one thing,
[14:42] ---
    but you make decisions quickly too.
[14:44] ---
    You think so?
[14:45] ---
    You're so mature.
[14:46] ---
    And you haven't asked
    a lot of questions about me.
[14:49] ---
    Prying is just a drag.
[14:53] ---
    Can I ask you a question?
[14:55] ---
    What's with all the seriousness?
[14:57] ---
    How do you feel about this village?
[15:00] ---
    I think it's a comfortable place.
[15:03] ---
    Is that all?
[15:05] ---
    Rapid modernization is causing
    a lot of strain on this village.
[15:10] ---
    Don't you feel that?
[15:12] ---
    Maybe…
[15:14] ---
    But stuff like that is…
[15:16] ---
    such a drag.
[15:18] ---
    I see…
[15:19] ---
    At this point in my life,
    there's nothing I can do.
[15:24] ---
    If all this strain causes huge problems,
[15:26] ---
    there's not much I can do…
[15:28] ---
    The ones who can are the adults
    who have real power.
[15:37] ---
    Hey, it's your move.
[15:39] ---
    Adults with power…
[15:41] ---
    If kids like us try to do the impossible,
[15:44] ---
    it will just make things into a drag.
[15:47] ---
    So we should just take care of
    our own business as best we can, right?
[15:52] ---
    I never really thought of it like that.
[15:56] ---
    But you're right.
[16:00] ---
    Then what do you think about
    the recent incidents?
[16:03] ---
    Those robbers?
[16:05] ---
    They're noble thieves.
[16:07] ---
    I can't condone stealing.
[16:10] ---
    But I can't totally condemn them either.
[16:13] ---
    There's even a term…
    necessary evil.
[16:16] ---
    I knew you'd say
    something like that.
[16:19] ---
    The guys around me don't quite
    see my way though…
[16:22] ---
    I understand how you feel.
[16:29] ---
    There you are, Shikadai!
[16:32] ---
    Check this out!
[16:34] ---
    Wow! Is this the limited edition?
[16:36] ---
    Huh? Who is he?
[16:38] ---
    Oh, a friend I met here.
[16:41] ---
    Oh yeah, I didn't catch your name.
[16:43] ---
    What's up with that?
[16:45] ---
    Introductions are such a drag.
[16:48] ---
    I'm Ryogi.
[16:50] ---
    I'm Shikadai.
[16:52] ---
    He's Boruto.
[16:53] ---
    Nice to meet you!
[16:58] ---
    Have we met before?
[17:01] ---
    Probably just someone
    who looked like me.
[17:03] ---
    I just came to this village recently.
[17:06] ---
    I see.
[17:07] ---
    Hey, how'd you get this?
[17:09] ---
    Oh yeah…
[17:10] ---
    I borrowed it from Mr. Katasuke.
[17:12] ---
    Seriously?
    This Mr. Katasuke's pretty cool!
[17:16] ---
    Right?
[17:17] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[17:19] ---
    This one's a rare limited edition,
    so I got carried away.
[17:22] ---
    Even you get carried away
    sometimes, huh?
[17:25] ---
    Anyway, so this Katasuke's lab
    has lots of unusual things?
[17:30] ---
    Most of it's junk though.
[17:36] ---
    Well, I'd better get going.
[17:40] ---
    Huh?
[17:40] ---
    What?! Stay and play
    the game with us.
[17:43] ---
    Sorry.
[17:44] ---
    You'd better go home
    before it gets dark too.
[17:48] ---
    There's been a lot of trouble lately.
[17:50] ---
    Hey, wait.
[17:53] ---
    So cold!
[18:11] ---
    You're late.
[18:12] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:14] ---
    Did something happen?
[18:15] ---
    There were Leaf genin at the park.
[18:18] ---
    Did you engage?
[18:19] ---
    No.
[18:20] ---
    We probably don't want any trouble,
[18:22] ---
    so we should avoid the park area
    during our escape.
[18:25] ---
    Okay, understood.
[18:26] ---
    Good job.
[18:28] ---
    Sir!
[18:30] ---
    Okay, time to move out!
[18:33] ---
    Namida is late.
[18:36] ---
    Isn't there a jonin nearby?
[18:39] ---
    Oh no, they're coming out!
[18:41] ---
    What do we do, Sumire?
[18:42] ---
    FUKUTOKU STORE
    
[18:49] ---
    They're leaving…
[18:58] ---
    Wind Style: Gale Raging Wall!
[19:04] ---
    I'm sorry I'm late!
[19:06] ---
    You all stay back.
[19:07] ---
    – Yes!
    – Yes!
[19:11] ---
    Gale Raging Wall!
[19:13] ---
    Like I'd let you get away!
[19:15] ---
    Ice Style: Mangehyo!
[19:21] ---
    Hold it!
[19:29] ---
    Hey! You're that guy from last time!
[19:33] ---
    Wait!
[19:33] ---
    We can't!
[19:34] ---
    We don't have authorization
    to engage!
[19:37] ---
    You guys!
[19:38] ---
    Lend me a hand!
[19:41] ---
    Huh? But…!
[19:42] ---
    Just create diversions!
[19:44] ---
    Right!
[19:44] ---
    Hey, don't you think we should just
    keep an eye on the situation?
[19:46] ---
    Boruto!
[19:47] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[19:50] ---
    Ice Style: Mangehyo!
[19:56] ---
    Shikadai! Shadow Paralysis!
[19:57] ---
    Huh?!
[19:58] ---
    From this distance?
[20:01] ---
    Wind Scythe Jutsu!
[20:07] ---
    Let's grab him!
[20:16] ---
    Did a suspicious-looking man pass by?
[20:19] ---
    Oh, he went that way.
[20:21] ---
    Thanks. Let's go!
[20:25] ---
    Damn it! Where did he go?
[20:35] ---
    Does this mean he uses jutsu
    we don't even know about?
[20:39] ---
    So Shikadai…
[20:40] ---
    Why did you hesitate back there?
[20:42] ---
    No, I wasn't hesitating…
[20:44] ---
    I know you.
[20:46] ---
    Your discretion is your strong point.
[20:48] ---
    As long as you choose
    the right time and place.
[20:52] ---
    I was there with you.
[20:54] ---
    It's okay to take a risk sometimes.
[20:57] ---
    I know.
[20:59] ---
    Good grief…
[21:00] ---
    At this rate,
    when push comes to shove,
[21:02] ---
    you'll end up letting the most important
    thing pass you by.
[21:05] ---
    I'll go submit the report.
[21:07] ---
    Good work, everyone.
[21:10] ---
    No, thank you for coming to our rescue.
[21:15] ---
    Let's go home too, Shikadai.
[21:17] ---
    Shikadai?
[21:20] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
[21:27] ---
    That took you long enough.
[21:29] ---
    I'm sorry.
[21:30] ---
    Well, it's fine.
[21:31] ---
    Because you were the decoy,
    we made a clean getaway.
[21:35] ---
    You're a good son.
[21:39] ---
    Boss…
[21:40] ---
    It seems we had some help
    from those particular villagers.
[21:44] ---
    I see.
[21:45] ---
    Our goal has sunk in
    deep enough.
[21:49] ---
    We're moving on to
    our next strategy.
[23:25] ---
    Checkmate.
[23:26] ---
    You really got me.
[23:29] ---
    I guess there are no take backs,
    are there…
[23:31] ---
    Well, by nature,
    that's usually the case…
[23:33] ---
    But I will take it into consideration…
[23:35] ---
    only if you answer
    a question for me.
[23:39] ---
    What? You'd be fine with just that?
[23:41] ---
    Yeah.
[23:42] ---
    You're…
[23:43] ---
    Next time on Boruto
    Naruto Next Generations:
[23:46] ---
    "Memories from the Day of Snow"
    
    
[23:48] ---
    That's the place where I belong.
    
    
[23:50] ---
    That's how I decided to live my life,
    ever since that day.
