[00:09] ---
    Where are you taking me, Old Man?
[00:12] ---
    You'll soon find out.
[00:14] ---
    You said earlier that you want to create
    a world where everyone can live happily.
[00:19] ---
    What was that about, ya know?
[00:21] ---
    The place we're going to
[00:23] ---
    is the ideal place to
    make you realize this.
[00:30] ---
    We're here.
[00:32] ---
    There's nothing here!
[00:35] ---
    I once told you the story
[00:36] ---
    when I was in
    the Hidden Leaf Village, right?
[00:39] ---
    About how my grandchild died?
[00:42] ---
    Oh yeah, his name was Kozuchi, right?
[00:46] ---
    This is the place.
[02:23] ---
    EARTH
    
     Kozuchi's Will
    
    
    
[02:25] ---
    Kozuchi's Will
    
    
    
[02:26] ---
    This all happened when
    I was under a genjutsu?!
[02:29] ---
    I'm sure that
    Lady Kurotsuchi is also…
[02:32] ---
    Since it's come to this,
    we must notify the other villages!
[02:37] ---
    It's useless.
[02:43] ---
    You're—!
[02:45] ---
    This village is now under our control.
[02:51] ---
    It is all for Master's sake.
[03:12] ---
    How disappointing…
[03:14] ---
    So, this is the extent of the Hidden Stone
    under Kurotsuchi's leadership?
[03:18] ---
    I'll leave you in command
    of the Akuta.
[03:21] ---
    Understood.
[03:23] ---
    By the way, Lord Ku,
[03:24] ---
    I hear the Leaf shinobi
    that was under our custody escaped.
[03:27] ---
    Right now, the whereabouts
    of our master takes priority.
[03:32] ---
    It's just one rat.
[03:33] ---
    You should be able to deal
    with him by yourself.
[03:38] ---
    What is it?
[03:40] ---
    It's nothing. I understand.
[03:48] ---
    This is where
    your grandchild died, Old Man?
[03:50] ---
    Yes.
[03:52] ---
    This all started when
    my grandchild, Kozuchi, died.
[03:59] ---
    FIRE
    
    WATER WIND
    
    EARTH LIGHTNING
    
    The Fourth Great Ninja War
    left massive scars on the world…
[04:06] ---
    Our village was no exception.
[04:10] ---
    We spent day and night
    restoring our village,
[04:13] ---
    and in a few years,
    we somehow built a new town, but…
[04:21] ---
    We suffered great losses in
    human life during that last war.
[04:26] ---
    The younger generation
    seriously lacks the skills.
[04:29] ---
    How do we compensate for that?
[04:32] ---
    Well, the age of wars is over.
[04:35] ---
    Just give it time and
    nurture their talent.
[04:39] ---
    Now that you've retired,
    you make it sound so easy, Grandfather!
[04:45] ---
    You're leaving?
[04:46] ---
    I promised to meet up
    with Kozuchi.
[04:51] ---
    He's turned into such
    a doting grandfather.
[05:00] ---
    Welcome home, Grandpa!
[05:02] ---
    Oh, sorry I'm late, Kozuchi!
[05:09] ---
    You seem awfully happy.
[05:12] ---
    That's right, I am!
[05:13] ---
    The Genin Exams are about to begin
    and I've been looking forward to them!
[05:16] ---
    That's right…
[05:17] ---
    You're at that age now,
    aren't you, Kozuchi?
[05:20] ---
    Kozuchi, from now on,
[05:22] ---
    it's all going to be up to
    young shinobi like you.
[05:26] ---
    I've lived a long life and
    I have no regrets now.
[05:30] ---
    What are you saying, Grandpa?!
[05:32] ---
    You have to live long to see me
    become a jonin…
[05:35] ---
    no, the Tsuchikage, okay?
[05:38] ---
    Oh, the Tsuchikage, eh?
[05:40] ---
    Then I will teach you the precious words
    that I live by.
[05:47] ---
    The shinobi who becomes
    the Tsuchikage must never run away.
[05:52] ---
    He must confront
    any and every difficulty.
[05:55] ---
    A will strong enough to do so
    is absolutely essential.
[05:58] ---
    Never run away…
[06:00] ---
    A strong will…
[06:01] ---
    Do you have that?
[06:04] ---
    I sure do!
[06:05] ---
    I'm gonna become a Tsuchikage
    who will surpass you, Grandpa!
[06:10] ---
    My, my… Such confidence!
[06:14] ---
    I have high hopes for you, Kozuchi.
[06:17] ---
    Yup!
[06:18] ---
    I have no more regrets…
[06:21] ---
    Back then, I seriously felt that way.
[06:26] ---
    However…
[06:29] ---
    Kozuchi's unusually late today.
[06:33] ---
    I wonder where
    he's loitering about?
[06:36] ---
    Lord Ohnoki!
[06:37] ---
    It's terrible!
[06:39] ---
    Kozuchi is—!
[06:41] ---
    Kozuchi is—!
[06:42] ---
    What?!
[06:51] ---
    Kozuchi! Hang in there!
[06:54] ---
    Why… Why?
[06:56] ---
    Some deadbeat ninja attempted
    to steal village secrets…
[07:01] ---
    And Kozuchi tried to stop them and…
[07:06] ---
    Grandpa…
[07:07] ---
    Kozuchi!
[07:09] ---
    I wanted to become
    the Tsuchikage…
[07:12] ---
    But I don't think
    that's possible anymore…
[07:14] ---
    What are you saying?!
[07:16] ---
    It's still possible!
[07:18] ---
    I really wanted to become…
[07:21] ---
    A shinobi who protects the peace…
    of the world…
[07:32] ---
    Kozuchi?
[07:35] ---
    Kozuchi!
[07:45] ---
    Kozuchi…
[07:48] ---
    Why?
[07:49] ---
    Why did Kozuchi have to die?!
[07:52] ---
    By chance, Kozuchi realized that
    robbers were about to attack,
[07:56] ---
    and he confronted them alone…
[07:59] ---
    By himself, until reinforcements came.
[08:03] ---
    Don't tell me…
[08:04] ---
    Was it because I told him
    never to run away?
[08:09] ---
    No!
[08:14] ---
    What have I done?!
[08:18] ---
    Thinking the world was at peace,
[08:20] ---
    I foolishly set high expectations
    upon him…
[08:23] ---
    And this is the result!
[08:25] ---
    What have I done?!
[08:28] ---
    It's as if I'm the one
    who killed Kozuchi!
[08:59] ---
    He's been like this ever since…
[09:01] ---
    It's understandable…
[09:04] ---
    I was like the walking dead…
[09:07] ---
    And spent every day
    in remorse and despair.
[09:12] ---
    Then one day…
[09:21] ---
    This was found among his belongings.
[09:25] ---
    Is it Kozuchi's?
[09:30] ---
    All right, I'm handing it over to you.
[09:39] ---
    Grandpa always tells me…
[09:42] ---
    That the peace we have
    in the world…
[09:45] ---
    was made possible by great shinobi
    who risked their lives.
[09:49] ---
    I want to become a shinobi
    like them!
[09:53] ---
    A shinobi who never wavers,
[09:55] ---
    who maintains a strong will,
    no matter what happens.
[09:58] ---
    And this time, I'll be the one
    to protect the peace.
[10:01] ---
    By becoming a great Tsuchikage,
    just like Grandpa.
[10:08] ---
    That's right…
[10:09] ---
    That is the least I can do.
[10:13] ---
    I must fulfill Kozuchi's will!
[10:16] ---
    There must never be
    another tragic death like yours.
[10:21] ---
    I will build a lasting peace,
[10:23] ---
    so that young lives will never
    be sacrificed again.
[10:26] ---
    That will be my tribute to you, Kozuchi…
[10:32] ---
    But what should I do?
[10:35] ---
    I gave it a lot of thought…
[10:38] ---
    And I came up with one solution.
[10:42] ---
    If those who were
    to fight weren't human,
[10:46] ---
    but soldiers who had no will
    and did exactly as ordered…
[10:52] ---
    I unearthed jutsu that had been lost,
[10:54] ---
    and tried to create soldiers
    who had no will of their own,
[10:57] ---
    who would do the fighting
    for humans, but…
[11:01] ---
    They were defective
    and uncontrollable…
[11:03] ---
    There was no way would Kurotsuchi and
    the others would approve of such soldiers…
[11:11] ---
    I tried everything possible
    in search of a breakthrough.
[11:16] ---
    And the solution came from
    a most unexpected source…
[11:21] ---
    What did you want to talk
    about confidentially?
[11:24] ---
    This plan that
    you are pushing forward, Lord Ohnoki…
[11:28] ---
    perhaps I may be of
    some assistance.
[11:30] ---
    What?
[11:32] ---
    This is a sample of what was discovered
    the other day at a certain ruin.
[11:37] ---
    This is—!
[11:39] ---
    Wouldn't you agree that with this,
[11:41] ---
    great progress can be made in
    the research to create non-human soldiers?
[11:46] ---
    Why have you brought this to me?
[11:48] ---
    I support your plan wholeheartedly.
[11:52] ---
    And so, rather than show it
    to Lady Kurotsuchi, I thought I'd first...
[11:56] ---
    But to rely on something like that…
[12:00] ---
    Would such a thing be approved?
[12:10] ---
    What do I do?
[12:14] ---
    Kozuchi…
[12:18] ---
    I must carry on Kozuchi's will
    and fulfill his wish.
[12:23] ---
    For that…
[12:25] ---
    Even if the means is detestable…
[12:28] ---
    I will—!
[12:31] ---
    There was an old underground facility
    that hadn't been used in a long time…
[12:35] ---
    I secretly made it my base,
    and revived my plan.
[12:41] ---
    The sample that was
    brought to me was used…
[12:44] ---
    And the plan to create artificial life
    known as "Fabrications" began.
[12:51] ---
    First, came Ku who is like my clone…
[12:54] ---
    who would command the soldiers.
[12:58] ---
    Then four more Fabrications who
    would serve as his arms and legs…
[13:04] ---
    And finally, to be led by these five…
[13:07] ---
    the Akuta troops were born.
[13:12] ---
    Once these beings are perfected,
[13:14] ---
    the peace of the Hidden Stone
    will be protected.
[13:17] ---
    And Kurotsuchi will have no choice
    but to acknowledge that I was right.
[13:22] ---
    If we let non-humans do the fighting,
[13:25] ---
    there will never be another tragedy
    in which young lives are lost.
[13:31] ---
    We are almost there, Kozuchi.
[13:37] ---
    Something like that is…
[13:39] ---
    I must bring this plan to completion.
[13:42] ---
    Because I am carrying out
    and fulfilling Kozuchi's will.
[13:46] ---
    Old Man…
[13:48] ---
    I told you this story because I believed
    that you would understand.
[13:55] ---
    I'm not even thinking about using
    the Akuta
[13:58] ---
    to conquer the territory
    of another land.
[14:02] ---
    In fact, it's just the opposite.
[14:04] ---
    Ultimately, this is a power to preserve
    the peace in Hidden Stone…
[14:08] ---
    and the entire shinobi world.
[14:11] ---
    You were all captured only to prevent you
    from interfering with the plan's completion.
[14:18] ---
    Once this is all over,
    you will be released.
[14:22] ---
    Does that mean you had no intention
    of fighting with us in the first place?
[14:26] ---
    As long as
    you didn't get in my way.
[14:29] ---
    Well? Do you still have
    a reason to oppose me?
[14:34] ---
    That's…
[14:37] ---
    What is it?
[14:40] ---
    Hey, you said you had a sample…
[14:42] ---
    that made your research reach
    a turning point, right?
[14:46] ---
    What was it?
[14:50] ---
    It's something
    you are very familiar with.
[14:55] ---
    Yes…
[14:58] ---
    It's a White Zetsu!
[15:03] ---
    A White Zetsu?!
[15:09] ---
    You're using a dangerous monster
    like that?
[15:11] ---
    What are you thinking?!
[15:12] ---
    I'm fully aware of the danger.
[15:15] ---
    But—?!
[15:16] ---
    That thing was created by
    the Otsutsuki in the first place, right?
[15:20] ---
    Admittedly, there are still things
    that are a mystery.
[15:24] ---
    That is why Mitsuki
    is so critical to us.
[15:27] ---
    Mitsuki? What do you mean?
[15:31] ---
    The lifespan of a Fabrication
    is still unstable…
[15:35] ---
    They do not live long.
[15:38] ---
    They don't live long?
[15:41] ---
    A year, or even several months…
[15:44] ---
    Sometimes even the following day…
[15:46] ---
    They could suddenly stop functioning.
[15:50] ---
    And Mitsuki is the means to resolve this.
[15:54] ---
    A perfect synthetic human…
[15:57] ---
    From the data we gather from Mitsuki,
    we can make perfect Fabrications.
[16:04] ---
    At that time, we will release Mitsuki.
[16:07] ---
    What he decides to do
    after that is all up to him.
[16:11] ---
    You're saying that
    you don't intend to hurt him?
[16:14] ---
    I would never want to do that.
[16:17] ---
    What I desire is peace,
    and only peace.
[16:20] ---
    Peace…
[16:22] ---
    All right.
[16:23] ---
    I've been very honest with you
    and told you everything.
[16:26] ---
    Do you still mistrust me?
[16:29] ---
    But—!
[16:30] ---
    I won't ask you to cooperate.
[16:33] ---
    However,
[16:34] ---
    there is no reason for
    a conflict between us.
[16:38] ---
    Preventing the loss of lives,
[16:41] ---
    and protecting the peace
    of the shinobi world…
[16:44] ---
    You are a shinobi too, and you must feel
    the same way, Boruto.
[16:49] ---
    Am I wrong?
[16:51] ---
    Old Man!
[17:01] ---
    This is a coup d'état!
[17:03] ---
    Don't they care about
    how this is received?
[17:06] ---
    I've got to get word back to my dad!
[17:11] ---
    It seems all the key points
    of the village have been secured.
[17:14] ---
    Anyone who has tried
    to interfere has been jailed.
[17:17] ---
    We killed two birds with one stone.
[17:19] ---
    We also got the "thing" that we need.
[17:25] ---
    We chose five as you ordered.
[17:28] ---
    So, if we use their hearts,
    we can extend our lives?
[17:33] ---
    Correct.
[17:34] ---
    However, we cannot lay a hand on them
    without the master's authorization.
[17:38] ---
    Huh?!
[17:39] ---
    That's ridiculous after
    we've come this far, Lord Ku!
[17:42] ---
    No!
[17:43] ---
    It is not the master's desire
    to take away human lives.
[17:47] ---
    Yes, but this is no time
    to be so deliberate…
[17:50] ---
    The master has the final say.
[17:53] ---
    Just get everything ready.
[17:58] ---
    Okay, I leave everything to you!
[18:03] ---
    So, what do we do?
[18:05] ---
    Split up and search for the master.
[18:08] ---
    However, don't go overboard.
[18:10] ---
    Are you worried about us, Lord Ku?
[18:13] ---
    We are necessary tools
    for the master.
[18:16] ---
    We cannot take risks.
[18:18] ---
    But what if we don't make it in time?
[18:20] ---
    We have a way to live now,
    yet you want us to just wait for death?
[18:26] ---
    When the time comes…
[18:29] ---
    A little sacrifice can't be helped.
[18:31] ---
    Oh, my!
[18:33] ---
    My wish is the master's wish.
[18:35] ---
    I'm sure he feels the same way.
[18:42] ---
    I understand what
    you talked about earlier.
[18:45] ---
    That you're seriously thinking
    about peace.
[18:49] ---
    Yes…
[18:50] ---
    So that young lives are not sacrificed,
[18:53] ---
    they are essential.
[18:56] ---
    But still, Old Man…
[18:58] ---
    Huh?
[18:59] ---
    I don't know much about them.
[19:02] ---
    I had run-ins with two of them,
    that's all.
[19:04] ---
    But…
[19:05] ---
    they could talk and think
    like us humans.
[19:10] ---
    And it seemed to me
    that they had personalities.
[19:14] ---
    Letting guys like that
    do the fighting…
[19:16] ---
    What's the difference between
    us and them fighting?
[19:21] ---
    They may look like humans,
[19:24] ---
    but they are Fabrications,
    just like their name.
[19:28] ---
    What seems like a will and personality
    are merely functions.
[19:32] ---
    Do you really believe that?
[19:35] ---
    What?
[19:36] ---
    Your belief in "will" is much stronger
    than others.
[19:40] ---
    Just like the time you taught us
    back at Hidden Leaf Village.
[19:45] ---
    And here, you're saying that
    those Fabrications have no will…
[19:49] ---
    Do you really mean that?
[19:51] ---
    Do you really believe that?
[19:56] ---
    What a strange thing to say.
[19:58] ---
    You know nothing about them.
[20:02] ---
    Maybe not…
[20:03] ---
    But I know a little about Mitsuki.
[20:07] ---
    As well as the fact that those guys
    and Mitsuki acted like friends.
[20:18] ---
    Mitsuki has a will of his own.
[20:20] ---
    So, you have no proof that
    those guys don't have a will, do you?
[20:27] ---
    And if they do have a will, how different
    are they from human beings?
[20:31] ---
    How different is it from sacrificing
    human shinobi in battle?
[20:38] ---
    Don't get so emotional.
[20:40] ---
    While they may seem alike in appearance,
    Fabrications are not humans.
[20:45] ---
    Perhaps, this applies to Mitsuki as well.
[20:48] ---
    What did you say?!
[20:49] ---
    Are you saying Mitsuki
    doesn't have a will?!
[20:52] ---
    On what grounds
    can you say he does?
[20:55] ---
    That's crazy!
[20:56] ---
    Mitsuki has a will!
[20:58] ---
    And if you insist on it,
[21:00] ---
    I won't believe all this talk
    about Fabrications having no will!
[21:04] ---
    There's no way I can cooperate
    with a plan like that.
[21:10] ---
    I've explained what I wish to do.
[21:13] ---
    If still you aren't convinced…
[21:16] ---
    If you oppose
    this heartfelt vow of mine…
[21:20] ---
    Then it can't be helped.
[21:22] ---
    We'll just go back to being enemies.
[21:29] ---
    It looks like someone has
    come for us, just in time!
[21:34] ---
    Here you are, Lord Ohnoki.
[21:44] ---
    Good of you to come for us, Kakou.
[23:26] ---
    Kakou? No way,
    is he a Fabrication as well?
[23:29] ---
    Hey, you! Could your heart
    be pounding right now?
[23:33] ---
    Let me get a taste
    of that feeling!
[23:36] ---
    Quit saying stuff that
