    The Cursed Forest
    
    
    
[01:46] ---
    Good morning, Boruto.
[01:48] ---
    Hey!
[01:49] ---
    Did you hear?
[01:50] ---
    We'll be undertaking a joint mission
    with Team 15 today.
[01:54] ---
    Oh, that's unusual.
[01:56] ---
    Well, no matter who
    we're teamed up with,
[01:58] ---
    Team 7's gonna be the one
    to wrap this up quick!
[02:01] ---
    I figured you would say that.
[02:11] ---
    Something going on?
[02:32] ---
    Is that a Peeping Tom?
    In broad daylight?
[02:35] ---
    Why don't we scare him a little?
[02:45] ---
    Hey, you! Peeping Tom!
[02:46] ---
    Quit bothering people like that!
[02:48] ---
    Huh?
[02:50] ---
    Ow…
[02:56] ---
    Looks like you were wrong.
[03:01] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[03:02] ---
    I didn't know you were
    studying birds!
[03:05] ---
    It's okay.
[03:07] ---
    I'm just glad the eggs are safe.
[03:09] ---
    There, there!
[03:11] ---
    You really like birds,
    don't you, Mr. Tosaka?
[03:16] ---
    Boruto!
[03:19] ---
    Could it be?
    Do you like birds too?
[03:22] ---
    Huh? Me?
    No, not really.
[03:24] ---
    I just had a feeling that you did!
[03:26] ---
    Look at this nest!
[03:30] ---
    I'm certain it's the egg of
    a Long-Winged Swift Pigeon!
[03:35] ---
    You licked it!
[03:36] ---
    Imagine, finding a super rare
    nest here, of all places.
[03:39] ---
    How lucky!
[03:41] ---
    He just licked it, right?
[03:43] ---
    I want to observe everything,
    not just with my eyes and ears,
[03:45] ---
    but with taste too.
[03:47] ---
    After all, they say the tongue speaks
    louder than your mouth, right?
[03:50] ---
    No, they don't!
[03:57] ---
    There you go!
[03:59] ---
    Just like before.
[04:00] ---
    I'm sorry.
[04:02] ---
    Is that species that rare?
[04:04] ---
    The feathers on the tail of
    the Long-Winged Swift Pigeon is
[04:06] ---
    a tad longer than
    an ordinary Swift Pigeon.
[04:12] ---
    Is that all?
[04:13] ---
    It may just be a slight difference,
[04:15] ---
    but it's all written in their genes.
[04:18] ---
    Genes…
[04:19] ---
    You mean the things
    that make up chromosomes?
[04:22] ---
    Genes determine the shape and
    behavioral patterns of all living things.
[04:26] ---
    The long tail feathers,
[04:28] ---
    the bird's instinct to return
    to its nest like this…
[04:31] ---
    So, what you want to say is that
[04:32] ---
    all this stuff is already
    predetermined before we're born?
[04:36] ---
    For instance,
[04:37] ---
    your hair and the color of your eyes,
[04:39] ---
    your physical agility,
    and likes and dislikes… Everything.
[04:43] ---
    But that's no fun.
[04:45] ---
    That has nothing to do with my genes.
    I'm me, ya know!
[04:51] ---
    You're very interesting.
[04:54] ---
    Mind if I lick you?
[04:57] ---
    No way!
[04:59] ---
    So long, Mr. Tosaka.
[05:01] ---
    Just make sure you don't do
    anything weird.
[05:04] ---
    See you again, Boruto, Mitsuki!
[05:07] ---
    We really got sidetracked.
[05:09] ---
    I hope Sarada's not too upset.
[05:13] ---
    Yup, she's mad.
[05:15] ---
    Sorry!
[05:17] ---
    Whatever.
[05:19] ---
    As I mentioned earlier, this will be
    a joint mission with Teams 7 and 15.
[05:26] ---
    That fine, but where's Big Sis Hanabi?
[05:30] ---
    C'mon, it's Hanabi Sensei, got it?
[05:32] ---
    You may be related to her,
    but she's our captain.
[05:36] ---
    Okay, okay.
[05:38] ---
    Hanabi is assisting
    the border patrol team.
[05:41] ---
    It seems there's been an infiltration.
[05:43] ---
    This time, I'll be leading
    both teams as captain.
[05:48] ---
    What's our mission?
[05:50] ---
    Well, your mission is to investigate
[05:53] ---
    and try to find the cause
    of injured wildlife.
[05:55] ---
    Injured wildlife?
[05:57] ---
    In a village on the outskirts of
    the Land of Fire,
[05:59] ---
    birds have been going into
    a frenzy and attacking people.
[06:03] ---
    The entire forest is
    their natural habitat.
[06:07] ---
    The request is to find the cause
    and stop it.
[06:10] ---
    That's why the two teams are needed
[06:12] ---
    to check out the extensive habitat,
    correct?
[06:15] ---
    What? Hanabi Sensei gets to be
    in a real battle…
[06:17] ---
    while we're taking care of birds?
[06:20] ---
    No complaining!
[06:22] ---
    She's right. Even small missions
    are worth our attention.
[06:25] ---
    You tell him, Class Rep!
[06:29] ---
    I keep coming across birds today.
[06:32] ---
    Oh well, let's get going!
[06:34] ---
    Okay! But before that…
[06:37] ---
    We're specialists when it comes to
    ninjutsu,
[06:40] ---
    but we're clueless
    when it comes to birds…
[06:43] ---
    And so, a specialist who specializes
    in birds has been
[06:46] ---
    "specially" chosen to accompany you.
[06:49] ---
    That's a lot of "specials."
[06:53] ---
    Here's Mr. Tosaka the ornithologist!
[06:56] ---
    Hello!
[06:58] ---
    Oh, Boruto!
[07:00] ---
    Mr. Tosaka?
[07:11] ---
    I see, the birds in this vicinity
    mainly subsist
[07:15] ---
    on the berries of
    the Bullseye Creeping Vine…
[07:17] ---
    That man's jabbing at bird poop!
[07:20] ---
    At least he's only jabbing at it.
[07:23] ---
    Huh?
[07:24] ---
    I'm sure it's
    the Bullseye Creeping Vine…
[07:27] ---
    But I think I need to look into this
    more closely.
[07:31] ---
    What the—what is he doing?!
[07:36] ---
    He has a habit of licking everything.
[07:38] ---
    I was right!
[07:39] ---
    Mr. Tosaka, let's hurry.
[07:41] ---
    Oh! I-I'm sorry!
[07:45] ---
    When it comes to birds,
[07:46] ---
    – I become so engrossed!
    – H-He licked it...
[07:48] ---
    He licked it!
[07:53] ---
    You know, I think a mission involving
    animals is right up our alley!
[07:58] ---
    We already have experience from
    that one mission.
[08:01] ---
    Let's outdo Boruto and his team
    on this mission!
[08:43] ---
    Stay alert.
[08:45] ---
    We're approaching the village
    in question.
[08:48] ---
    I don't hear any strange sounds,
    so far…
[08:52] ---
    Actually, I think it's too quiet.
[08:55] ---
    I don't hear a single bird chirping.
[08:58] ---
    You're right. Something feels weird.
[09:01] ---
    Stop!
[09:05] ---
    Team 15 guard Mr. Tosaka,
    and stand by!
[09:07] ---
    Team 7, come with me!
[09:14] ---
    It's close!
[09:27] ---
    Boruto!
[09:28] ---
    I'm okay!
    Keep moving!
[09:43] ---
    Who are you?!
[09:45] ---
    We're from the Hidden Leaf.
[09:47] ---
    We've come to save you.
[09:48] ---
    Lightning Ball!
[09:54] ---
    Damn it!
[09:56] ---
    Cut it out already!
[10:03] ---
    Damn it!
[10:10] ---
    Why…all of a sudden?
[10:18] ---
    Who's there?!
[10:31] ---
    I guess you're not the caretaker
    of the birds…
[10:50] ---
    Whoa!
[10:52] ---
    What power!
[11:00] ---
    What was that voice?!
[11:02] ---
    Namida, stay focused!
[11:22] ---
    Come on, monster!
[11:45] ---
    Boruto!
[11:48] ---
    I owe you one, Class Rep!
[11:50] ---
    Awesome! When did you get so big?
[11:58] ---
    Nue, it's okay now.
[12:05] ---
    Thank you…
[12:07] ---
    I was foraging for wild greens
    when I was suddenly attacked…
[12:10] ---
    Is the village nearby?
[12:12] ---
    I'll show you the way.
[12:14] ---
    Sumire! Thank goodness,
    you're okay!
[12:17] ---
    Yeah.
[12:17] ---
    Be careful.
    This is no ordinary forest.
[12:20] ---
    A huge monster just appeared.
[12:23] ---
    What do you mean by monster?
[12:25] ---
    I'm not really sure, but I've never
    seen a type like that before.
[12:31] ---
    Boruto, tell me about that
    in detail later.
[12:35] ---
    But right now, we need to get this man
    back to his village quickly.
[12:45] ---
    His breathing's very shallow.
[12:47] ---
    His temperature is rising too.
[12:49] ---
    Way to go, Sumire.
[12:51] ---
    You saved Boruto!
[12:53] ---
    I just happened to be there.
[12:55] ---
    What's wrong?
    You seem a little down.
[12:59] ---
    Actually…
[13:00] ---
    I knew it! Nue, keep up
    the good work, okay?
[13:06] ---
    Sumire?
[13:09] ---
    Oh, it's okay.
[13:16] ---
    Hey!
[13:23] ---
    We're here from
    the Hidden Leaf Village.
[13:27] ---
    Thank you for coming.
[13:30] ---
    Please, bring him this way.
[13:33] ---
    Will you come too, Mr. Tosaka?
[13:35] ---
    I want to investigate
    the cause thoroughly.
[13:37] ---
    Oh yes, sure.
[13:45] ---
    So that bird is the cause, after all?
[13:48] ---
    There are many instances
    where birds spread disease.
[13:52] ---
    But, I can't say for sure without
    investigating more carefully.
[13:56] ---
    We noticed the change in the birds
    about one month ago.
[14:01] ---
    They destroyed our crops,
[14:02] ---
    then eventually,
    they began attacking people.
[14:06] ---
    It's around that time that
[14:08] ---
    we began hearing beastly cries
    from the forest, too.
[14:18] ---
    Beastly cries?
[14:20] ---
    Yes.
[14:21] ---
    Frightening cries, as though they
    came from the depths of the earth.
[14:25] ---
    The cause could be the river.
[14:27] ---
    The first things to start acting
    abnormally were the river's water fowl…
[14:31] ---
    What's the source of the river?
[14:32] ---
    It runs along the village,
    from the top of the mountain.
[14:35] ---
    It flows into the Land of Rivers
    next to us.
[14:38] ---
    Please don't go near the river
    until the cause is found.
[14:41] ---
    Please use only well water
    for your daily needs.
[14:46] ---
    Oh, I knew it!
[14:51] ---
    What is this?
[14:52] ---
    What did she mean by "I knew it"?
[14:55] ---
    Well…
[15:13] ---
    What's going on?
[15:15] ---
    Looks like something
    happened over there.
[15:18] ---
    What's going on?
[15:20] ---
    He was found unconscious
    by the river.
[15:27] ---
    I know him!
[15:29] ---
    Huh?
[15:30] ---
    It's Mr. Jugo.
[15:32] ---
    He was at Orochimaru's place!
[15:34] ---
    Yeah…
[15:35] ---
    It's Jugo, no doubt.
[15:36] ---
    You're both friends of his?
[15:39] ---
    He's not really a friend…
[15:45] ---
    Mr. Jugo, it's me, Sarada Uchiha.
[15:48] ---
    Do you remember me?
[15:53] ---
    You were found unconscious
    by the river.
[15:57] ---
    I slipped and fell into the river.
[16:01] ---
    I thought a monster had attacked you.
[16:06] ---
    A monster?
[16:07] ---
    It appeared near the forest.
[16:09] ---
    And it was on a rampage.
[16:14] ---
    I see.
[16:19] ---
    Hey, stop it.
[16:23] ---
    So, Mr. Jugo, what were you doing
    around here?
[16:33] ---
    This marking…
[16:34] ---
    Could it be?
[16:36] ---
    If the villagers find out about this,
[16:38] ---
    who knows what kind of rumors
    will spread…
[16:41] ---
    That's why you didn't mention it
[16:42] ---
    when you made the request
    for this mission?
[16:45] ---
    Please…
[16:47] ---
    Please find the cause and stop it!
[17:07] ---
    Hey?!
[17:08] ---
    What?!
[17:11] ---
    P-Please stay away from me!
[17:15] ---
    What's that marking on him?
[17:20] ---
    Boruto, take care of Mr. Tosaka!
[17:22] ---
    The rest of you,
    evacuate the villagers!
[17:24] ---
    – Right!
    – Right!
[17:40] ---
    Isn't he—?
[17:44] ---
    Mr. Jugo!
[17:56] ---
    Mr. Jugo…
[18:01] ---
    Don't go near the forest!
[18:05] ---
    What do you mean by that?!
[18:11] ---
    Boruto! Where's Mr. Jugo?
[18:14] ---
    Well…
[18:15] ---
    Hey, look!
[18:22] ---
    The markings faded!
[18:23] ---
    What does it mean?
[18:26] ---
    We just have to go and find out.
[18:37] ---
    Be careful.
[18:38] ---
    That thing earlier is called
    a Curse Mark.
[18:41] ---
    Curse Mark?
[18:42] ---
    One of the properties of a Curse Mark
    is to stimulate the fighting instincts
[18:45] ---
    of living creatures.
[18:47] ---
    So that's why he suddenly
    went berserk.
[18:50] ---
    The birds going into a frenzy…
    Don't tell me—!
[18:55] ---
    And I've heard that Orochimaru
    utilizes Curse Marks.
[18:59] ---
    Is he mixed up in this again?
[19:01] ---
    But that's not the problem.
[19:04] ---
    Jugo…is supposed to have
    a Curse Mark too.
[19:09] ---
    One that's extremely dangerous.
[19:12] ---
    You think Jugo in involved
    in all of this?
[19:15] ---
    I can't believe this is all
    just coincidence.
[19:17] ---
    In any case, don't forget that
    whatever's in this forest
[19:21] ---
    is more dangerous than anything
    we've ever encountered.
[19:24] ---
    – Right!
    – Right!
[19:27] ---
    Mitsuki and I will continue
    to move forward.
[19:29] ---
    Team 15 will go downriver.
[19:32] ---
    Boruto and Sarada, go upriver.
[19:35] ---
    If you find anything, don't try
    to deal with it yourselves.
[19:39] ---
    Make sure you contact your comrades!
[19:50] ---
    Hey, are you taking this seriously
    and looking?
[19:54] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?
[20:00] ---
    This sound!
[20:02] ---
    It's a natural echo.
[20:04] ---
    Remember the villager describing it as,
[20:06] ---
    beastly cries as though they came
    from the depths of the earth?
[20:09] ---
    That's been bothering me
    all this time.
[20:11] ---
    The village is located
    that way, right?
[20:14] ---
    The wind is blowing
    from north to south.
[20:17] ---
    The slope of the mountain is
    about 20 degrees, so…
[20:24] ---
    Bingo.
[20:38] ---
    It's pretty solid.
[20:39] ---
    It's like an underground prison.
[20:44] ---
    Aren't you going to contact
    Konohamaru Sensei?
[20:47] ---
    He said only when we "find"
    Jugo, right?
[20:50] ---
    You are so sly that way…
[20:55] ---
    Mr. Jugo?
[20:56] ---
    Is he hurt?
[20:58] ---
    Don't come near!
    Please stay away!
[21:16] ---
    Mr. Jugo!
[21:17] ---
    We came to help you!
[21:24] ---
    Mr.…Jugo?
[21:29] ---
    Sarada, let's get out of here.
[21:36] ---
    He's…
[21:40] ---
    the one I encountered…
[21:44] ---
    He's the monster!
[21:49] ---
    I'm gonna kill you…both!
[23:26] ---
    Mr. Jugo was the monster?
[23:28] ---
    What is going on?
[23:30] ---
    This is bad.
[23:31] ---
    He's completely undergone
    Curse Mark Transformation.
[23:33] ---
    Curse Mark Transformation?
[23:34] ---
    What does that mean?
[23:36] ---
    It's not just
    a physical transformation.
[23:37] ---
    Right now, he's being controlled
    by homicidal impulses.
[23:41] ---
    If things continue, the villagers
    are in danger!
[23:44] ---
    Next time on Boruto Naruto
    Next Generations:
[23:46] ---
    "Jugo and the Curse Mark"
    
    
[23:48] ---
    You guys, provide back up!
    We're gonna have to separate him here.

    JUGO AND THE CURSE MARK
