[00:10] ---
    The footprints…!
[00:11] ---
    Why did they suddenly stop?!
[00:12] ---
    Was this a trap?
[00:14] ---
    Just to lure us here?!
[00:19] ---
    Where are they gonna come in from?
[00:26] ---
    Above us!
[00:51] ---
    White Zetsu?
[00:52] ---
    Why is he here?
[00:54] ---
    What the hell is that monster?!
[00:56] ---
    White Zetsu?
[00:58] ---
    You mean the things
    Dad and the others fought
[00:59] ---
    during the Great Ninja War?!
[01:01] ---
    Yeah… They were all supposed to
    have been destroyed…
[01:04] ---
    To think that some survived!
[01:05] ---
    Still, I've never seen one
    in this form!
[01:08] ---
    W-What are you talking about?
[01:16] ---
    They're coming!
[02:49] ---
    Sasuke's Shadow
    
    
    
[02:54] ---
    Dodge it!
[02:56] ---
    Lightning Style?
[03:02] ---
    Fire Style this time?
[03:06] ---
    Even Wind Style?
[03:08] ---
    How many styles of jutsu
    can this guy use?
[03:14] ---
    Whoa!
[03:21] ---
    Boruto!
[03:43] ---
    N-No way!
[03:46] ---
    Big Bro Konohamaru is
    being overpowered?
[03:48] ---
    Let's go back him up!
[04:03] ---
    Did it work?
[04:10] ---
    Boruto!
[04:13] ---
    Are you kidding me?!
[04:20] ---
    Oh yeah!
[04:23] ---
    If I remember correctly…
[04:25] ---
    What are you doing?
[04:30] ---
    It may come in handy
    during your missions,
[04:32] ---
    so please accept it…
[04:53] ---
    Big Bro!
[05:06] ---
    He ran away?
[05:07] ---
    No, he let us off the hook
    is more like it.
[05:12] ---
    B-Big Bro!
[05:14] ---
    We have to treat your wound now!
[05:17] ---
    What the hell is
    that crazy monster?
[05:21] ---
    That's White Zetsu…
[05:24] ---
    A living weapon…
[05:26] ---
    created by Kaguya Otsutsuki,
[05:28] ---
    the last enemy we battled
    during the Great Ninja War.
[05:32] ---
    But didn't Lord Seventh and
    the others annihilate them all?
[05:35] ---
    Then what's something like that
    doing here after all this time?
[05:40] ---
    I think the answer to that
    lies deeper inside.
[05:44] ---
    Mitsuki?
[05:45] ---
    When did you—?
[05:56] ---
    What is this?
[05:58] ---
    O-Oh…
[06:00] ---
    A relic of the Otsutsuki Clan
    in a place like this?
[06:06] ---
    Long ago, Kaguya Otsutsuki
    had used the roots
[06:09] ---
    of the Divine Tree just like this
    to cultivate countless White Zetsu.
[06:14] ---
    But I've never seen anything
    about that form…
[06:16] ---
    in any of the data
    about White Zetsu.
[06:19] ---
    Its intellect seemed low.
[06:20] ---
    On the other hand,
    its strength is off the charts.
[06:26] ---
    Maybe it underwent a change
    while it was left alone?
[06:29] ---
    Wait a minute!
[06:31] ---
    Does that mean there are
    lots more like him under us?
[06:34] ---
    W-What?
[06:35] ---
    That's really bad!
[06:38] ---
    No, I don't think
    there are any more.
[06:40] ---
    Why not, Mitsuki?
[06:43] ---
    It's been nearly ten years
    since it lost its master.
[06:46] ---
    That bud is dried up,
    and I don't think it's even active.
[06:50] ---
    Without a chakra supply,
    they can't stay incubated.
[06:54] ---
    I hope that's the case…
[06:56] ---
    Mitsuki, you seem to know a lot.
[06:59] ---
    I learned it from my parent.
[07:02] ---
    Okay then, let's go down there.
[07:05] ---
    Boruto?
[07:06] ---
    Well, we can't ignore
    that thing just now.
[07:10] ---
    You talk like it's gonna be
    an easy task…
[07:12] ---
    Besides, if this is the factory
    where those monsters are made,
[07:16] ---
    we have to destroy it completely.
[07:18] ---
    That may be true, but…
[07:21] ---
    Hey, Big Bro Konohamaru!
[07:22] ---
    Let's get that thing.
    Together, the four of us!
[07:25] ---
    Boruto, that makes a lot of sense.
[07:28] ---
    However, I have to reject it.
[07:29] ---
    W-Why?!
[07:31] ---
    This place definitely seems
    to be inactive.
[07:34] ---
    But if that's the case,
    why is that White Zetsu here?
[07:37] ---
    Huh? That's—
[07:39] ---
    In other words,
    we should assume there are others.
[07:43] ---
    And that thing is too much
    for you to handle.
[07:46] ---
    Hold on a minute!
[07:47] ---
    Are you saying
    we're a burden?!
[07:49] ---
    To put it bluntly, yes.
[07:53] ---
    And I won't let you say that
    you aren't already aware of that.
[07:58] ---
    Then, are we going to retreat?
[08:00] ---
    No, I'm going in there alone.
[08:03] ---
    Huh?!
[08:04] ---
    Without a doubt,
    we can't leave this place alone.
[08:07] ---
    If anyone is gonna deal with it,
    it has to be a jonin like myself.
[08:11] ---
    You three go back to the village
    and report the situation
[08:15] ---
    in case I don't return.
[08:18] ---
    Konohamaru Sensei!
[08:20] ---
    We can't do that,
    Big Bro Konohamaru!
[08:22] ---
    I-It'll be fine.
[08:23] ---
    We can all work together
    to beat a thing like that…!
[08:28] ---
    You guys don't know about
    the Great Ninja War…
[08:32] ---
    or how terrifying the things
    connected to Kaguya Otsutsuki are.
[08:38] ---
    Otsutsuki is a god-like being,
    that brought about ninja like us.
[08:44] ---
    Her power is beyond measure.
[08:48] ---
    She's that powerful?
[08:49] ---
    Without a doubt,
    you three have grown strong.
[08:52] ---
    But this is on another level.
[08:54] ---
    More strength is required
    from here on out.
[08:57] ---
    Don't let this get you down…
[08:59] ---
    Take your time and
    build up your strength.
[09:02] ---
    The one thing
    we must absolutely avoid,
[09:05] ---
    is for all of us to die here.
[09:07] ---
    So, you need to go back.
[09:09] ---
    That's an order.
[09:22] ---
    Please wait, Konohamaru Sensei!
[09:29] ---
    Sarada?
[09:34] ---
    It's not that I approve of Boruto…
[09:38] ---
    But I also think
    we should go in together.
[09:42] ---
    You—!
[09:43] ---
    And why is that?
[09:45] ---
    We don't even know
    where the enemy is hiding,
[09:48] ---
    so splitting up at this point
    is too dangerous.
[09:51] ---
    It's possible it will target us too.
[09:55] ---
    In fact, I think the chance
    of that is stronger.
[09:57] ---
    Even that thing knows enough
    to come after the weaker ones.
[10:03] ---
    And if that's the case,
    the best strategy is
[10:05] ---
    for us to come along and
    provide you with back-up.
[10:08] ---
    Don't you think so, Sensei?
[10:13] ---
    However…
[10:15] ---
    Big Bro!
[10:16] ---
    If the risk is the same,
[10:18] ---
    I think we should avoid splitting up
    our battle power too.
[10:23] ---
    Damn it, I guess I have no choice.
[10:27] ---
    We'll prove it to you and
    make ourselves useful, Big Bro…
[10:29] ---
    I mean, Konohamaru Sensei!
[10:32] ---
    I got it!
[10:34] ---
    But you absolutely must not
    overestimate your strength.
[10:38] ---
    Change of orders.
[10:40] ---
    We will proceed together inside…
[10:43] ---
    and we'll take down this White Zetsu.
[10:45] ---
    And we're gonna get through
    this alive and go home, together!
[10:47] ---
    – Right!
    – Yeah!
[10:48] ---
    That's why I want you to listen carefully
    to the strategy I'm about to explain.
[10:54] ---
    Strategy?
[10:55] ---
    Yeah, it's a no-fail strategy
    to bring him down.
[11:17] ---
    Did we get him?!
[11:21] ---
    No, it's coming!
[11:23] ---
    We'll proceed just as I explained!
[11:25] ---
    Sarada, Sharingan!
[11:27] ---
    Right!
[11:39] ---
    It's gonna come at us with Lightning Style,
    Wind Style, then Fire Style!
[11:45] ---
    Leave the Lightning Style to me.
[11:46] ---
    Snake Lightning!
[11:52] ---
    All right!
[11:53] ---
    Wind Style: Gale Palm!
[11:59] ---
    Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bomb!
[12:17] ---
    He knows he's getting nowhere
    with jutsu-based attacks,
[12:19] ---
    so he's switching to
    hand-to-hand combat…
[12:22] ---
    As predicted!
[12:33] ---
    Now, Boruto!
[12:35] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[12:44] ---
    Hey, over here!
[12:47] ---
    No matter how atypical this monster is,
    if we keep chipping away at him…
[12:51] ---
    As expected,
    Konohamaru Sensei's strategy is brilliant.
[12:54] ---
    At this rate…
[12:57] ---
    That's the way.
    Keep teasing it, Boruto!
[13:00] ---
    While you're doing that,
    I'll get him with this!
[13:15] ---
    Listen up.
[13:16] ---
    You're going to lure him
    with your Shadow Clones.
[13:19] ---
    Don't do anything reckless, got it?
[13:23] ---
    But…
[13:34] ---
    It's weakened.
[13:36] ---
    If I do it now—!
[13:38] ---
    Well, people will understand in time…
[13:41] ---
    and see your true power,
    Young Lord.
[13:44] ---
    And when that time comes…
[13:47] ---
    If I show that I can
    bring him down myself…
[13:51] ---
    What's Boruto doing?!
[13:53] ---
    Hey!
[13:57] ---
    Now's my chance!
[13:58] ---
    I'll settle this right now!
[14:08] ---
    Huh…
[14:20] ---
    Boruto!
[14:28] ---
    It's no good. It's not working.
[14:30] ---
    Try to get away, Boruto!
[14:34] ---
    M-My chakra is—!
[14:41] ---
    Damn it!
[14:42] ---
    At this rate…
[14:43] ---
    I won't let you have Boruto!
[14:54] ---
    All right, now!
[15:08] ---
    I saved the best for last!
[15:10] ---
    Rasengan!
[15:18] ---
    Get a good taste…
[15:20] ---
    of the power that was passed on to me
    by Lord Third, aka The Professor,
[15:23] ---
    and Big Bro Naruto!
[15:31] ---
    A-Amazing!
[15:34] ---
    He did it!
[15:42] ---
    You absolutely must not
    overestimate your strength.
[15:47] ---
    Let's proceed inside!
[15:50] ---
    More strength is required
    from here on out.
[15:55] ---
    I know!
[16:08] ---
    What are those?!
[16:13] ---
    I knew it.
[16:15] ---
    These are like the cocoons
    that nurture White Zetsu.
[16:19] ---
    Don't tell me all of these…
[16:22] ---
    are like that monster?!
[16:24] ---
    No, that doesn't seem
    to be the case.
[16:32] ---
    Yes, they're decomposed.
[16:42] ---
    It seems we've come to
    the innermost location.
[16:45] ---
    What if there are more
    White Zetsu lurking in there?
[16:49] ---
    If so, we'll just have to fight them off
    as hard as we can,
[16:52] ---
    using the same strategy as earlier.
[16:55] ---
    Don't let your guard down.
[17:14] ---
    These are—!
[17:16] ---
    Don't touch that flame.
[17:18] ---
    What's going on with this one?
[17:20] ---
    Who knows?
[17:23] ---
    What's with these black flames?
[17:28] ---
    Everything's burning.
[17:30] ---
    This is Amaterasu!
[17:33] ---
    What's that?
[17:35] ---
    It's Mr. Sasuke!
[17:37] ---
    Flames that only he can control,
[17:39] ---
    that can burn anything completely!
[17:42] ---
    I knew it…
[17:46] ---
    Looks like there were
    several dozens of them in here.
[17:51] ---
    If Mr. Sasuke hadn't been here first,
    we'd have been goners.
[17:55] ---
    Are you saying he destroyed
    all of them by himself?
[17:57] ---
    Yeah.
[17:58] ---
    The Zetsu we encountered must've
    managed to escape and survive.
[18:04] ---
    What's Sarada's dad doing here?
[18:11] ---
    I guess I have no choice,
    since you've seen this much…
[18:14] ---
    Mr. Sasuke's been on
    a top-secret mission all by himself,
[18:17] ---
    tracking the movements of
    any remnants of Kaguya Otsutsuki.
[18:20] ---
    A top-secret mission?
[18:21] ---
    He said it's an important duty
    that only he can fulfill.
[18:25] ---
    So where is your dad, Sarada?
[18:28] ---
    He can travel through time and space
    with the power of his Rinnegan.
[18:33] ---
    He's probably far away by now.
[18:36] ---
    A-Awesome!
[18:39] ---
    You bet he's awesome.
[18:41] ---
    Mr. Sasuke is the one and only rival
    that Lord Seventh considers his equal.
[18:47] ---
    Dad's—?!
[18:49] ---
    I heard that from my parent too…
[18:53] ---
    That he gets no accolades,
    but he is the supreme ninja
[18:56] ---
    who watches over the Hidden Leaf Village
    from the shadows.
[19:00] ---
    The supreme ninja?
[19:15] ---
    I guess Sasuke ended up
    saving you, Konohamaru.
[19:20] ---
    Yes, but Lord Seventh…
[19:22] ---
    I know you're a clone, but why did you
    come all the way out here?
[19:25] ---
    I can't ignore anything
    that involves Kaguya.
[19:30] ---
    Still, I can't believe
    you found a ruin here too.
[19:34] ---
    Which means there are others?
[19:36] ---
    Yeah.
[19:38] ---
    But looking at that one's appearance…
[19:40] ---
    For her to get these guys ready,
[19:41] ---
    Kaguya must've been expecting
    an intense battle
[19:44] ---
    with some formidable enemies…
[19:48] ---
    An enemy that can only be confronted
[19:50] ---
    by creating an army
    of monsters like these?
[19:52] ---
    I wonder who they could be?
[19:55] ---
    Who knows?
[19:56] ---
    In any case, seems we're gonna
    have our hands full again…
[20:05] ---
    So, we're being left in the dark,
    after all?
[20:08] ---
    It can't be helped.
[20:10] ---
    That's what it's supposed
    to be like for genin.
[20:12] ---
    Well, I don't like it!
[20:14] ---
    Even though we…
[20:15] ---
    "Fought too" was that what
    you were going to say?
[20:18] ---
    But when it counted most,
    we didn't have enough strength.
[20:21] ---
    Neither of us.
[20:26] ---
    Konohamaru Sensei said we're not to
    say a word about this to anyone.
[20:31] ---
    It means Lord Seventh and
    the higher-ups will deal with the rest.
[20:39] ---
    Mr. Sasuke is the one and only rival
    that Lord Seventh considers his equal.
[20:46] ---
    Power that the grown-ups…
    and everyone…
[20:49] ---
    and Dad will acknowledge…
[20:59] ---
    I still don't have enough.
[22:59] ---
    I finally caught up.
[23:06] ---
    What should we do,
    Lord Momoshiki?
[23:10] ---
    I thought it would just
    be a fool's errand…
[23:15] ---
    Well then, why don't we go
    greet our visitor?
[23:24] ---
    CHUNIN
    
[23:26] ---
    Let's show Lord Hokage
[23:28] ---
    just how awesome we are
    in the Chunin Exams!
[23:32] ---
    If you insist…
[23:33] ---
    I'll just ace the exam and
    amaze everyone…
[23:36] ---
    and make them see that
    Boruto Uzumaki is finally here!
[23:39] ---
    But before that, there's something
    important I have to do…
[23:43] ---
    What?
[23:44] ---
    Next time on Boruto
    Naruto Next Generations:
[23:47] ---
    "Himawari's Birthday"
    
    
    
[23:49] ---
    It's a man-to-man promise…
    
    
    
[23:51] ---
    HIMAWARI'S BIRTHDAY
