[00:19] ---
    I think we made it out safely.
[00:21] ---
    So, this means we're back?
[00:23] ---
    Yeah, I wonder how far
    we wandered off.
[00:27] ---
    Anyway, I'm so glad, Cho-Cho!
[00:29] ---
    Wait, what are you talking about?
[00:31] ---
    Come to think of it,
    my shoulders feel sorta heavy…
[00:34] ---
    and my memory's spotty
    here and there.
[00:37] ---
    Well, it might be better if
    you don't remember.
[00:39] ---
    What is it? I wanna know!
[00:46] ---
    Boruto.
[00:48] ---
    Mitsuki isn't a traitor, after all.
[00:52] ---
    We have to meet up with him
    and talk to him…right away!
[02:27] ---
    Everyone's Motives
    
    
    
[02:30] ---
    MEDICAL DEPARTMENT
    
    
[02:35] ---
    Is it true he's regained consciousness?
[02:38] ---
    Yes.
[02:39] ---
    Can we talk to him for a bit?
[02:41] ---
    Just not for
    an extended period of time…
[02:44] ---
    Okay, I got it.
[02:49] ---
    How are you feeling?
[02:52] ---
    I'm managing.
[02:53] ---
    I'm sorry, I know it's hard to talk,
    but please tell us.
[02:59] ---
    Who took Mitsuki?
[03:03] ---
    Thinking back to who Mitsuki
    was speaking to…
[03:06] ---
    They were shinobi from…
[03:09] ---
    the Hidden Stone.
[03:13] ---
    What were they talking about?
[03:16] ---
    I'm sure…
[03:17] ---
    they asked if he wanted to come to
    the Land of Earth with them.
[03:24] ---
    After that, an unidentified person that
    seemed like a puppet came
[03:28] ---
    and he took Mitsuki away.
[03:32] ---
    "Towards the setting moon…"
[03:34] ---
    So that means the Hidden Stone.
[03:37] ---
    We need to notify the Tracking Unit
[03:39] ---
    that they're headed for
    the Land of Earth.
[03:41] ---
    Yeah.
[03:42] ---
    Thank you very much.
[03:49] ---
    I was right.
    Mitsuki isn't a traitor.
[03:53] ---
    – Uh-huh.
    – Uh-huh.
[03:55] ---
    We can't be so sure yet.
[03:58] ---
    From my viewpoint,
[04:00] ---
    Mitsuki might have gone with
    the Hidden Stone shinobi willingly.
[04:03] ---
    Even if he did,
    I'm sure he had a reason!
[04:07] ---
    Otherwise, he wouldn't have
    left the snake behind.
[04:11] ---
    Not only that, those guys said
    the answer Mitsuki seeks
[04:14] ---
    is in the Land of Earth.
[04:17] ---
    I'm sure Mitsuki went with them
    to find out.
[04:21] ---
    And if that's so, even if I have
    to enter the Land of Earth,
[04:24] ---
    I'm not going back until
    I see Mitsuki.
[04:28] ---
    Ah, what a drag!
[04:32] ---
    In that case, I have a plan.
[04:35] ---
    Cho-Cho and Inojin,
    go back to the village for now.
[04:39] ---
    – Huh?
    – Huh?
[04:40] ---
    We've always gone through
    tough times together, haven't we?
[04:44] ---
    I don't understand the reason
    behind this.
[04:47] ---
    That's right!
[04:48] ---
    It feels like you're discharging us
    from battle and I don't like it.
[04:51] ---
    You've got it all wrong.
[04:54] ---
    As things are, we won't be able
    to get to Mitsuki
[04:56] ---
    before he crosses
    into the Land of Earth.
[04:59] ---
    That's why we have to
    let the village know
[05:01] ---
    there's a possibility Mitsuki's innocent.
[05:03] ---
    It's not a "possibility,"
    Mitsuki is innocent!
[05:06] ---
    Calm down.
[05:08] ---
    Shouldn't we let the village know
    before Mitsuki crosses into
[05:11] ---
    the Land of Earth under
    suspicion of being a criminal?
[05:14] ---
    But!
[05:14] ---
    Just hear me out.
[05:16] ---
    Moegi Sensei should be back
    at the village by now.
[05:18] ---
    Once our dads know what's going on
    and take action,
[05:21] ---
    it would be easy for them to bring us back,
    as well as Mitsuki.
[05:26] ---
    The fact that
    they haven't already, means…
[05:30] ---
    You think they're…
    waiting to see what happens?
[05:34] ---
    Probably…
[05:36] ---
    That's why we have to notify
    the village about Mitsuki.
[05:40] ---
    And for that, you two are
    the perfect ones for the job!
[05:43] ---
    I see. I got it.
[05:46] ---
    Well, okay! I'm the type of woman
    that just can't refuse
[05:49] ---
    when someone is depending
    on me that much.
[05:52] ---
    I'm sorry, Sarada.
[05:54] ---
    I won't be able to go with you.
[05:56] ---
    It's okay.
[05:58] ---
    I agree totally with Shikadai.
[06:00] ---
    Now that it's decided,
    we'd better hurry.
[06:02] ---
    I'm counting on you two.
[06:04] ---
    Be careful.
[06:05] ---
    That's my line to you, Sarada.
[06:12] ---
    Promise me you'll convince them
    that Mitsuki's innocent.
[06:15] ---
    – Leave it to us!
    – All right!
[06:21] ---
    FIRE
    
    And how's Yurito?
[06:26] ---
    We were able to save his life, but…
[06:29] ---
    If I only realized sooner…
[06:37] ---
    It seems the explosion occurred
    the instant Yurito's genjutsu was broken.
[06:43] ---
    What kind of jutsu was it?
[06:45] ---
    Detonating Clay.
[06:48] ---
    A forbidden jutsu of the Hidden Stone.
[06:50] ---
    So they controlled Yurito with genjutsu
    and obtained intel on Mitsuki…
[06:56] ---
    No doubt, they've been digging for
    highly classified intel for a long time.
[07:01] ---
    Yeah… And they managed
    to dig quite deep.
[07:06] ---
    But one thing bothers me.
[07:08] ---
    What is it?
[07:10] ---
    If they took this much time
    in order to take Mitsuki…
[07:14] ---
    What is their purpose?
[07:17] ---
    Do you want me to look into this?
[07:19] ---
    No…
[07:21] ---
    We know now that the enemy
    is Hidden Stone shinobi.
[07:24] ---
    We'll go with a frontal attack.
[07:33] ---
    Once we cross through this wasteland,
    we'll be in the Land of Earth.
[07:50] ---
    Hey, look!
[07:53] ---
    What's that a drawing of?
[07:55] ---
    It's my house!
[07:58] ---
    Hmm…
[07:59] ---
    Hey, once you enter
    the Land of Earth,
[08:01] ---
    it'll mean that you betrayed
    the Hidden Leaf, Mitsuki!
[08:07] ---
    I wonder what betrayal feels like?
[08:13] ---
    Humans have all sorts of feelings
    that I wouldn't understand, right?
[08:18] ---
    It's so mysterious, isn't it?
[08:20] ---
    Isn't it?
[08:22] ---
    So trivial…
[08:23] ---
    Huh? Don't you think so, Kokuyou?
[08:26] ---
    It's time you shut up, Sekiei…
[08:30] ---
    Our arrival is getting delayed.
[08:33] ---
    Let's go.
[08:36] ---
    EARTH
[08:43] ---
    Did you mess up, Kirara?
[08:46] ---
    Kokuyou and Sekiei are late.
[08:49] ---
    Is it your fault?
[08:52] ---
    Shut up!
[08:54] ---
    They're not all fools over
    on that side.
[08:56] ---
    Anyway, I got rid of the Leaf Trackers
    on the way,
[09:00] ---
    so it evens out, right?
[09:01] ---
    You don't need to make excuses to me.
[09:04] ---
    It's up to Lord Ku to make
    that judgment.
[09:19] ---
    How are you, Lord Ku?
[09:21] ---
    Umm…
[09:22] ---
    Don't be anxious.
[09:23] ---
    We still have time.
[09:25] ---
    Yes, once Orochimaru's
    experiment arrives,
[09:29] ---
    everything will work out just fine.
[09:42] ---
    The day my long-cherished wish
    comes true is near.
[09:47] ---
    What? There's someone there!
[09:49] ---
    Huh?
[09:53] ---
    It's one of our jonin.
[09:55] ---
    But something's weird.
[10:02] ---
    Huh?!
[10:05] ---
    W-What happened?
[10:09] ---
    Hey, what do we do?
[10:39] ---
    It's better for you to die here now,
[10:42] ---
    instead of having you
    struggle disgracefully at living.
[10:46] ---
    You're merciless, aren't you,
    Kokuyou?
[10:49] ---
    Well, he probably wouldn't have made
    it back to the Land of Earth anyway.
[10:54] ---
    What was that?
[10:56] ---
    They're called Akuta.
[10:58] ---
    Akuta?
[11:00] ---
    They're made from a Forbidden Jutsu
    of the Land of Earth.
[11:03] ---
    That one just now had reached
    the end of his life.
[11:07] ---
    The end of his life?
[11:09] ---
    I told you before, right?
[11:10] ---
    That we were created by Lord Ku.
[11:14] ---
    We can't live long like humans.
[11:22] ---
    But there's one thing that will let us
    live just like humans…
[11:28] ---
    It's you!
[11:31] ---
    Lord Ku thinks you're—
[11:33] ---
    That's enough, Sekiei.
[11:35] ---
    What?
[11:36] ---
    Don't tell him anything more.
[11:39] ---
    What's the big deal?
    There's nothing wrong in telling him.
[11:41] ---
    No, don't.
[11:43] ---
    We can't trust him.
[11:48] ---
    I'll tell you again sometime.
[11:50] ---
    Yes. I'd like to know…
    very much.
[11:54] ---
    I've taken quite a liking to you!
[12:00] ---
    This is what humans do when they
    see eye-to-eye, right?
[12:13] ---
    Let's go.
[12:32] ---
    What is this?
[12:34] ---
    It's still fresh.
[12:36] ---
    Was there a small kid here?
[12:38] ---
    This was definitely drawn by a child.
[12:41] ---
    Although, your drawings
    aren't much different…
[12:44] ---
    C'mon, that's not true!
    My drawings…
[12:47] ---
    Stop it.
[12:49] ---
    We don't know who drew that,
[12:52] ---
    but they passed through here
    just before us.
[12:55] ---
    We may be able
    to get some kind of clue.
[13:00] ---
    We have to stop them before
    they cross the border up ahead.
[13:04] ---
    You're right.
    After all, we've come this far.
[13:09] ---
    Yeah…
[13:11] ---
    I'm gonna see Mitsuki without fail!
[13:26] ---
    It's you, Mirai.
[13:28] ---
    I heard about Mitsuki.
[13:30] ---
    Yeah.
[13:31] ---
    The one who attacked the gatekeeper
    was a Hidden Stone shinobi.
[13:35] ---
    No, not that.
[13:37] ---
    About Mitsuki being Orochimaru's son.
[13:41] ---
    I was shocked too.
[13:44] ---
    After all, Orochimaru is our enemy, right?
[13:48] ---
    He killed our grandpa…
[13:54] ---
    I know it happened before I was born
[13:57] ---
    and I only heard it from my mom.
[13:59] ---
    But Orochimaru tried to destroy
    Hidden Leaf Village.
[14:03] ---
    Yeah, but our grandfather gave
    his life to protect it.
[14:16] ---
    Reaper Death Seal!
[14:26] ---
    You've become addicted to jutsu,
    and are drowning in it.
[14:29] ---
    I'll hand down a punishment
    that befits your crime!
[14:33] ---
    I will take all your jutsu
    away with me!
[14:36] ---
    Stop!
[14:49] ---
    The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was
    respected by everyone in the village.
[14:57] ---
    He was an amazing shinobi.
[15:00] ---
    Do you hate Mitsuki?
[15:04] ---
    He's the son of Orochimaru
    who did that to our grandpa…
[15:08] ---
    No!
[15:09] ---
    To me, Mitsuki is a precious member
    of Team 7,
[15:12] ---
    just like Boruto and Sarada.
[15:15] ---
    It's just…
[15:17] ---
    Being here, doing nothing, puts
    unnecessary thoughts in my mind.
[15:22] ---
    That's all.
[15:26] ---
    FIRE
    
[15:28] ---
    Kurotsuchi…
[15:30] ---
    EARTH
    
    What's up?
    It's unusual of you to call me.
[15:34] ---
    As the Hokage to the Tsuchikage,
    I'd like to ask you something.
[15:38] ---
    What is it?
    You sound so formal.
[15:39] ---
    You see, the day after
    the Five Kage Summit,
[15:43] ---
    our gatekeeper was attacked.
[15:44] ---
    C'mon!
[15:45] ---
    First, it's the incident during
    the Chunin Exams, and now this.
[15:48] ---
    What's going on with the Leaf?
[15:50] ---
    Don't go there, will you?
[15:52] ---
    Well, go on.
[15:53] ---
    From quite a while ago,
[15:55] ---
    someone used genjutsu and
    controlled one of our shinobi.
[15:59] ---
    Not only that.
[16:00] ---
    Using intel they obtained,
[16:02] ---
    they took one of our genin
    and escaped.
[16:06] ---
    Oh?
[16:07] ---
    Not too long ago, something
    like that was commonplace.
[16:11] ---
    But it's rare these days.
[16:13] ---
    So, which village did this?
[16:18] ---
    It can't be—!
[16:20] ---
    They're shinobi
    from the Hidden Stone.
[16:24] ---
    To make such an accusation,
[16:25] ---
    I hope you have
    pretty solid evidence?
[16:28] ---
    Yeah, the testimony of the gatekeeper
    who was attacked.
[16:32] ---
    I find it awfully hard to believe.
[16:35] ---
    Our trackers will soon reach
    the border with the Land of Earth.
[16:40] ---
    And I have a favor to ask.
[16:42] ---
    I want you to authorize
[16:44] ---
    our shinobi's entry
    into your territory to investigate.
[16:46] ---
    No, I can't agree to that.
[16:49] ---
    Hey!
[16:50] ---
    I can't arbitrarily give
    you permission.
[16:52] ---
    You're a Hokage, so
    you understand my position, don't you?
[16:57] ---
    Yeah…
[16:59] ---
    If it's as you say, once the shinobi
    who escaped enters our land,
[17:03] ---
    we'll capture him.
[17:05] ---
    Naturally, that includes your genin.
[17:07] ---
    And we'll notify you immediately.
[17:09] ---
    Okay. I have
    one more favor to ask.
[17:13] ---
    What is it?
[17:14] ---
    You see, Boruto and Sarada
    are tracking the genin…
[17:18] ---
    And they should be heading
    your way.
[17:20] ---
    Such a hopeless son!
[17:22] ---
    Fine. If we find them,
    we'll take them into custody
[17:26] ---
    and send them back to the Leaf
    as soon as possible.
[17:28] ---
    Sorry to trouble you.
[17:30] ---
    First, we'll do our own
    thorough investigation to find out
[17:33] ---
    if these shinobi are really
    from the Hidden Stone.
[17:36] ---
    Depending on the results,
[17:38] ---
    we'll then consider authorization for
    your shinobi's entry to investigate.
[17:41] ---
    I'm counting on you, Kurotsuchi.
[17:43] ---
    I'll do whatever I can.
[17:45] ---
    You're a lifesaver…
[17:50] ---
    Lady Tsuchikage?
[17:59] ---
    Did something happen?
[18:01] ---
    Nope, nothing happened.
[18:04] ---
    Well, it seems all we can do
    is leave it in her hands for now.
[18:17] ---
    What's up?
[18:18] ---
    I can't make contact.
[18:19] ---
    Again?
[18:21] ---
    What's going on?
[18:25] ---
    Hey!
[18:29] ---
    Damn it! Be on guard!
[18:30] ---
    Sir!
[18:43] ---
    What are these things?!
[18:44] ---
    I don't know.
[18:49] ---
    S-Stop!
[19:08] ---
    Wait!
[19:13] ---
    What is that?
[19:16] ---
    This is—!
[19:19] ---
    Hey, you're Mitsuki's—!
[19:21] ---
    What's going on?
[19:27] ---
    I'm not gonna let you have it!
[19:32] ---
    It's the same thing that attacked
    Mitsuki's snake near the Aun Gate.
[19:37] ---
    I don't completely understand,
    but how can a thing like this move?
[19:44] ---
    But if the same thing was in
    the Hidden Leaf Village…
[19:48] ---
    It looks like it's connected to Mitsuki
    and the Hidden Stone shinobi.
[19:53] ---
    It means they passed
    through this way.
[19:56] ---
    And if this thing was
    smashed up like that…
[19:59] ---
    What is it?
[20:01] ---
    Maybe it fought with Mitsuki!
[20:04] ---
    Let's hurry!
[20:14] ---
    Is something wrong?
[20:16] ---
    Pursuers.
[20:17] ---
    Huh?
[20:18] ---
    Take him and go on ahead.
[20:21] ---
    I'll do something with the Akuta.
[20:22] ---
    But…
[20:24] ---
    You can't trust him.
[20:28] ---
    It's fine, just go.
[20:50] ---
    Let him go!
[21:02] ---
    Seems like I'm not trusted, after all.
[21:05] ---
    Kokuyou's just the suspicious type.
[21:10] ---
    But I'm…
[21:12] ---
    What?
[21:13] ---
    Oh, nothing. let's hurry.
[21:25] ---
    Mitsuki?
[21:28] ---
    – Wait!
    – Hey, Boruto!
[21:33] ---
    This is…
[21:35] ---
    What's going on?
[21:39] ---
    Children?
[21:42] ---
    Are you trackers as well?
[23:26] ---
    Who are they anyway?
[23:29] ---
    Did he take down all these shinobi?
[23:32] ---
    Be careful, you two.
[23:33] ---
    He's a fierce enemy.
[23:35] ---
    So, what?
    Mitsuki's just up ahead!
[23:38] ---
    I can't get held up here!
[23:41] ---
    Next time on Boruto Naruto
    Next Generations:
[23:44] ---
    "Reunion with Mitsuki"
    
    
[23:46] ---
    I'll tear through anyone
    who gets in my way,
    
    
[23:48] ---
    and get to where Mitsuki's at!
    
    
[23:50] ---
    REUNION WITH MITSUKI
