[00:13] ---
    Boruto, don't be in such a hurry!
[00:16] ---
    I'm not in a hurry.
[00:18] ---
    Orochimaru's research lab
    is guarded by jonin,
[00:23] ---
    so we can't just approach carelessly.
[00:25] ---
    Yeah…
[00:26] ---
    It's all over
    if we get caught, okay?
[00:30] ---
    Hey, about Mitsuki's snake…
[00:33] ---
    Will we really find out more just
    by asking this Orochimaru guy?
[00:37] ---
    Probably.
[00:38] ---
    I think asking him about
    the snake is the quickest route.
[00:42] ---
    As soon as we learn something,
[00:43] ---
    we're gonna go and
    look for Mitsuki.
[00:46] ---
    Okay!
[00:48] ---
    Wait for us, Mitsuki!
[02:21] ---
    The Other Side of the Moon
    
    
    
[02:22] ---
    The Other Side of the Moon
    
    
    Disappeared?
[02:24] ---
    The Other Side of the Moon
    
    
    …Mitsuki has?
[02:25] ---
    The Other Side of the Moon
    
    
    Yes, and…
[02:25] ---
    he didn't just disappear.
[02:28] ---
    He attacked the guards at
    the gate and ran away.
[02:32] ---
    I see…
[02:34] ---
    You seem to want
    to express surprise,
[02:37] ---
    but hiding anything
    won't be to your benefit.
[02:39] ---
    Oh? Are you implying that
[02:41] ---
    I'm the one pulling the strings
    from the shadows?
[02:44] ---
    If that's the case,
    why would I do such a thing?
[02:47] ---
    Well, it's been quite a while
    since I arrived here
[02:51] ---
    to keep an eye on you.
[02:53] ---
    There've been no problems
    during that time.
[02:56] ---
    But, we just can't overlook
    this issue.
[02:59] ---
    Yamato, you should know by now.
[03:03] ---
    My goal is to unlock the truth
    about all the things in this world.
[03:08] ---
    I have no other interests—
[03:09] ---
    In any case…
[03:11] ---
    If he contacts you,
    let me know.
[03:13] ---
    This is for Mitsuki's sake as well.
[03:23] ---
    Who would have ever thought
    this would happen?
[03:27] ---
    FIRE
    
    Naruto, I get the gist of your point.
[03:33] ---
    However…
[03:34] ---
    I cannot accept it.
[03:36] ---
    From this data,
[03:38] ---
    we don't even know if this Mitsuki
    is a human child, right?
[03:44] ---
    Why did you ever allow him
    in the village?
[03:48] ---
    And by your discretion alone?!
[03:50] ---
    Without a doubt, we acknowledged
    that Orochimaru posed a danger.
[03:55] ---
    However…
[03:56] ---
    We believed his research will prove
    useful to the village in time.
[04:01] ---
    Naruto, is that true?
[04:03] ---
    Even so, he should have consulted
    with us first.
[04:07] ---
    Acting on your own like this is…
[04:10] ---
    He probably thought you'd oppose
    if he brought it up, right?
[04:13] ---
    Well…
[04:15] ---
    I agree with you all.
[04:18] ---
    Kakashi Sensei!
[04:20] ---
    He was definitely reckless,
[04:23] ---
    but I think Naruto has a point too.
[04:26] ---
    The Hokage is the guardian
    of the village.
[04:29] ---
    Surely, he wouldn't do anything
    that wouldn't be to its benefit?
[04:32] ---
    Kakashi…
[04:34] ---
    And, our role is to help
    the Hokage.
[04:37] ---
    What we must do now is
    not criticize what has occurred,
[04:41] ---
    but help him find ways
    to resolve it.
[04:44] ---
    Isn't that so?
[04:47] ---
    FIRE
    
    That kid… Ever since
    he came to the village,
[04:51] ---
    Mitsuki's attended
    the Academy diligently,
[04:53] ---
    and has worked hard on his missions
    with Boruto and Sarada as a Leaf shinobi.
[05:00] ---
    That's why I want
    to believe in him.
[05:03] ---
    I want to believe Mitsuki.
[05:08] ---
    Then we have no choice…
[05:11] ---
    Searching for Mitsuki is
    our top priority.
[05:15] ---
    The situation will only worsen
    if we waste time like this.
[05:19] ---
    Tsunade, you're so—!
[05:21] ---
    Aren't you being too easy
    on Lord Seventh?
[05:25] ---
    Lord Seventh?!
[05:27] ---
    It seems Boruto and Sarada
    haven't returned home!
[05:32] ---
    Yeah!
[05:33] ---
    Okay!
[05:34] ---
    I'll send the search party
    for Mitsuki
[05:35] ---
    toward the direction
    of the setting moon.
[05:37] ---
    Boruto and Sarada have probably
    gone after Mitsuki too.
[05:41] ---
    Yeah…
[05:43] ---
    Shikadai would know
    what Boruto is thinking.
[05:47] ---
    So, Team Moegi should—
[05:50] ---
    Konohamaru!
[05:52] ---
    Please let me go as well.
[05:55] ---
    Boruto, Sarada…
    and Mitsuki too.
[05:58] ---
    This involves Team 7.
    It's my team's problem.
[06:01] ---
    Konohamaru,
    I know how you feel, but—
[06:05] ---
    Why did you keep quiet
    about Mitsuki?
[06:11] ---
    You're well aware,
    aren't you, Lord Seventh?!
[06:13] ---
    Orochimaru is not only
    a heinous criminal
[06:16] ---
    who brought disaster
    upon this village,
[06:18] ---
    he's…
[06:23] ---
    He's the one who killed
    your grandpa.
[06:27] ---
    So why did you place Mitsuki
    on my team?
[06:32] ---
    Mitsuki is important to me,
[06:34] ---
    and I trust him as a member
    of Team 7, but…
[06:38] ---
    Listen, Konohamaru.
[06:41] ---
    If you had known about
    Mitsuki before this,
[06:45] ---
    would anything have changed?
[06:48] ---
    It's only natural that
    you can't forgive Orochimaru,
[06:51] ---
    but Mitsuki didn't do anything.
[06:55] ---
    Just because he's the son
    of your sworn enemy
[06:57] ---
    doesn't make it reasonable
    to hate him, right?
[06:59] ---
    I know that too!
[07:02] ---
    It's because I know, that—!
[07:03] ---
    I wanted you to get
    to know Mitsuki
[07:06] ---
    without any of that
    getting in the way!
[07:09] ---
    But having you find out now,
    like this…
[07:14] ---
    is something I truly regret.
[07:15] ---
    Then please…
[07:17] ---
    Let me go too!
[07:19] ---
    Konohamaru…
[07:20] ---
    Calm down.
[07:22] ---
    Personal feelings are forbidden
    on a mission.
[07:25] ---
    I'm sorry, but this time
    I can't let you go.
[07:34] ---
    It's so unlike Sarada go off
    on her own like this, right?
[07:37] ---
    I think she probably
    couldn't stop Boruto.
[07:40] ---
    No, what if Sarada's the one
    who came up with the idea…?
[07:44] ---
    There's no way.
[07:46] ---
    Hey, what do you think, Shikadai?
[07:48] ---
    Do you think Mitsuki is involved
    in this incident?
[07:54] ---
    Shikadai?
[07:56] ---
    That's not the problem right now.
[07:58] ---
    We have to stop
    Boruto and Sarada…
[08:01] ---
    before the hunters
    become the hunted.
[08:06] ---
    Damn it, what a drag…
[08:10] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[08:12] ---
    As you're already aware,
[08:14] ---
    we must bring Boruto and Sarada
    back at all costs!
[08:17] ---
    – Right!
    – Right!
[08:39] ---
    So he came back, after all…
[08:45] ---
    After him!
[09:05] ---
    Mitsuki used to live here?
[09:11] ---
    Where are you, Orochimaru?
[09:53] ---
    Mitsuki!
[09:56] ---
    This can't be…
[09:58] ---
    Don't move.
[10:01] ---
    Sneaking in…
[10:03] ---
    What a naughty kid.
[10:06] ---
    You must be…
[10:07] ---
    Boruto, correct?
[10:15] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[10:17] ---
    A-Are you Orochimaru?
[10:20] ---
    It's Lord Orochimaru.
[10:22] ---
    And I'm Suigetsu.
[10:25] ---
    What is this?
[10:28] ---
    He looks just like Mitsuki…
[10:35] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[10:36] ---
    Each and every one of them here
    are Mitsuki.
[10:39] ---
    What?!
[10:42] ---
    The Mitsuki I entrusted to
    the Hidden Leaf Village
[10:45] ---
    is also one of my experiments.
[10:47] ---
    Huh? Experiment?
[10:50] ---
    What is going on?!
[10:52] ---
    Isn't Mitsuki your child?
[10:56] ---
    Of course, he's my son.
[10:59] ---
    I heard…that he disappeared.
[11:03] ---
    How can you be so calm?
    Aren't you worried?!
[11:07] ---
    There's no need to worry.
[11:09] ---
    If anyone gets wind of what he is,
[11:13] ---
    the curse mark that
    I implanted inside of him
[11:15] ---
    will automatically activate,
    and he will self-destruct.
[11:22] ---
    So there's no need to worry
[11:24] ---
    that the secrets of my research
    will be revealed.
[11:27] ---
    That's not what I'm asking you about!
[11:30] ---
    Curse marks, secret research…
[11:32] ---
    Mitsuki is not a thing!
[11:33] ---
    How can you call yourself a parent?!
[11:38] ---
    What's so funny?!
[11:40] ---
    It's nothing…
[11:41] ---
    Anyway, Boruto…
[11:43] ---
    You didn't come all the way here
    to complain to me, did you?
[11:59] ---
    I wonder if Boruto's already
    managed to sneak inside?
[12:18] ---
    Boruto's waiting.
[12:20] ---
    Leave that damn Yamato to me.
[12:29] ---
    Ms. Karin?!
[12:31] ---
    I'm so glad!
[12:32] ---
    Those glasses look great on you.
[12:39] ---
    Thank you very much!
[12:44] ---
    And what did this snake
    communicate to you?
[12:48] ---
    It just said… "My will."
[12:54] ---
    But that doesn't tell me
    a single thing.
[13:01] ---
    So, I figured if there's anything,
[13:02] ---
    even if it's the tiniest clue,
    inside of it…
[13:04] ---
    It doesn't matter what…
    I just want you to check and see.
[13:09] ---
    Fine. It will take some time,
    so please wait.
[13:14] ---
    Your friend should be here shortly.
[13:21] ---
    Sarada!
[13:23] ---
    I heard he's going to check.
    Thank goodness!
[13:26] ---
    Yeah, but…
[13:30] ---
    Hey, Sarada.
[13:31] ---
    You've been here before, right?
[13:34] ---
    Yes, it was just for a little bit, though.
[13:36] ---
    Then did you know?
[13:38] ---
    What?
[13:49] ---
    Hey, these are…
[13:52] ---
    They're all Mitsuki.
[14:03] ---
    SNAKE
    
    
    
[14:05] ---
    SNAKE
    
    It seems Mitsuki has gone
    into stage two.
[14:09] ---
    What?
[14:09] ---
    I've told you before…
[14:11] ---
    that the boy cannot become
    the light by himself.
[14:15] ---
    However,
    if the sun shines on him,
[14:18] ---
    even he will shine through the darkness,
    like the moonlight.
[14:21] ---
    Yes.
[14:22] ---
    But before he could,
[14:24] ---
    perhaps he felt the need to understand
    the true nature of that moonlight.
[14:29] ---
    The true nature…
    of the moonlight?
[14:32] ---
    Yes…
[14:34] ---
    And all we can do is watch over him
    so that he can understand.
[14:40] ---
    Found him!
[14:50] ---
    You can't escape now, Mitsuki.
[14:58] ---
    Just what the hell are you up to?
[15:00] ---
    Wasn't that some
    good training, Yamato?
[15:02] ---
    You have to get
    serious once in a while,
[15:04] ---
    otherwise you'll grow dull!
[15:16] ---
    Unfortunately, this snake had
    no other messages,
[15:19] ---
    aside from what you heard.
[15:23] ---
    Why…?
[15:27] ---
    Why don't you know?!
[15:29] ---
    So, why did Mitsuki
    disappear then?!
[15:33] ---
    You ask me, but I don't know…
[15:37] ---
    Aren't you Mitsuki's parent?!
[15:39] ---
    Or, because you have
    so many replacements,
[15:41] ---
    you're not worried?!
[15:43] ---
    Is that why?
[15:46] ---
    Why didn't Mitsuki let me know
    so I'd understand?
[15:49] ---
    Why did he go off all by himself?
[15:52] ---
    I just don't get it!
[15:55] ---
    After the incident,
[15:57] ---
    when we found out
    about Mitsuki's true identity…
[15:59] ---
    Grandma Tsunade and everyone
    became suspicious of Mitsuki!
[16:06] ---
    But, there's no way
    he'd do something like that!
[16:09] ---
    How can you be so sure?
[16:12] ---
    Huh?
[16:13] ---
    You saw earlier.
[16:15] ---
    That boy was born in a test tube
    and was raised in there.
[16:20] ---
    You didn't even know that,
    did you?
[16:25] ---
    It was his decision to
    leave this place
[16:28] ---
    and go to the Hidden Leaf Village.
[16:30] ---
    I supported his decision,
    and asked Naruto to take him in.
[16:36] ---
    Let me ask you now, Boruto.
[16:39] ---
    If it was Mitsuki's will to leave
    the Hidden Leaf Village,
[16:43] ---
    how will you feel?
[16:55] ---
    Boruto… Are you okay?
[16:58] ---
    Sorry…
[16:59] ---
    I got so heated…
[17:01] ---
    That was unlike you.
[17:05] ---
    So uncool, right?
[17:08] ---
    I feel the same way.
[17:10] ---
    Huh?
[17:11] ---
    I don't have a clue about
    what Mitsuki was thinking.
[17:16] ---
    And he didn't tell us at all.
[17:20] ---
    No, you're wrong.
[17:22] ---
    We didn't even try to listen to him.
[17:25] ---
    All this time, not once.
[17:30] ---
    We were together all the time,
[17:31] ---
    we had all the time
    in the world to talk…
[17:35] ---
    But…I…
[17:37] ---
    But what you said is right.
[17:40] ---
    Huh?
[17:45] ---
    Friends trust each other
    until the very end, right?
[17:50] ---
    Yeah, but that's not all.
[17:57] ---
    How Mitsuki was born here…
[18:00] ---
    How he lived after coming
    to the village…
[18:04] ---
    What he was thinking,
    what he felt…
[18:07] ---
    I didn't understand at all…
[18:11] ---
    But…because of that,
    I want to see Mitsuki
[18:15] ---
    and really, truly get to know him.
[18:18] ---
    I feel that from
    the bottom of my heart.
[18:24] ---
    Hey!
[18:26] ---
    What are you doing?
[18:28] ---
    Hurry!
[18:35] ---
    You're right.
[18:36] ---
    That's why I'm absolutely
    gonna find him.
[18:39] ---
    But where do we start?
[18:42] ---
    What will you do now?
[18:45] ---
    Are you out of options?
[18:49] ---
    Yeah.
[18:50] ---
    But one thing's for sure.
[18:52] ---
    I still trust Mitsuki, even now.
[18:55] ---
    After all, he's our friend!
[18:58] ---
    I don't know why
    he disappeared,
[19:02] ---
    but I'm gonna keep on believing
    in Mitsuki!
[19:05] ---
    That's why…
[19:07] ---
    I have to see him again!
[19:13] ---
    You're just like the Naruto of old.
[19:18] ---
    Is your only clue the message?
[19:21] ---
    Huh?
[19:23] ---
    I believe that all things
    have thoughts.
[19:28] ---
    And it's not only words that
    can convey one's will.
[19:33] ---
    Can you please stop saying things
    I don't understand?
[19:35] ---
    You're so impatient.
[19:38] ---
    You should listen to
    what people say more carefully.
[19:40] ---
    The snake itself,
    should have its own thoughts.
[19:47] ---
    Thoughts?
[19:49] ---
    You mean,
[19:50] ---
    we can extract detailed information
    about Mitsuki from the snake?
[19:54] ---
    As expected from Sasuke's daughter.
[19:56] ---
    Then can you check that out?
[19:59] ---
    That's impossible for me.
[20:02] ---
    However, I know someone who can.
[20:07] ---
    Who is that?
    And where are they?
[20:11] ---
    HIs name is White Snake Sage.
[20:13] ---
    He resides in Ryuchi Cave.
[20:16] ---
    But he's no ordinary man…
    He's quite an eccentric.
[20:26] ---
    Orochimaru!
[20:28] ---
    Oh, what else do you want now?
[20:31] ---
    Why did you set Karin after me?
[20:34] ---
    What are you talking about?
[20:35] ---
    Feigning ignorance again?
[20:37] ---
    Then I'll ask another question.
[20:39] ---
    Did anyone come here?
[20:42] ---
    I'm considered a heinous criminal
    by the Hidden Leaf.
[20:45] ---
    Now who in the world would come
    looking after someone like me?
[20:50] ---
    Boruto and Sarada are supposed
    to have come here,
[20:52] ---
    looking for Mitsuki.
[20:54] ---
    Well, that's news to me!
[20:56] ---
    I have no choice.
[20:57] ---
    I'm going to look around.
[20:59] ---
    Be my guest…
[21:10] ---
    Ryuchi Cave lies in the darkest
    and farthest reaches
[21:13] ---
    of the night.
[21:15] ---
    Only those seeking it can reach it.
[21:18] ---
    I hope you get to meet
    the White Snake Sage.
[21:21] ---
    However…
[21:23] ---
    Even if you do meet him,
[21:24] ---
    I wonder if you'll be able
    to return alive?
[21:28] ---
    Hey, Boruto…
[21:29] ---
    Do you really think
    we'll be able to get there?
[21:33] ---
    It's not whether we'll be able to.
[21:35] ---
    We have to!
[21:36] ---
    Found them!
[21:46] ---
    You're not getting past us, Boruto!
[21:50] ---
    We can't afford to stop here!
[23:26] ---
    Our mission is to bring you back
    to the village.
[23:30] ---
    Hold on a minute!
[23:31] ---
    I just want to see Mitsuki
    one more time and confirm things!
[23:35] ---
    I know you're worried
    about your friend,
[23:37] ---
    but investigating the incident
    isn't your mission!
[23:42] ---
    Next time on Boruto
    Naruto Next Generations:
[23:45] ---
    "The Enemy, Ino-Shika-Cho!"
    
    
[23:47] ---
    So, I can't go and save
    a friend unless it's a mission?!
    
    
[23:51] ---
    THE ENEMY, INO-SHIKA-CHO!
