**[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
