Where am I?
What happened?
Boruto… If it's for your sake—!
Boruto!
Mitsuki?
Mitsuki!
Hey, what are you doing?!
Sarada… Where's Boruto?!
It's all right.
Lord Seventh protected Boruto and the others.
I see…
Thank goodness.
Come on, get back in bed!
But Lord Seventh was kidnapped by those guys…
Huh?!
So right now, my dad and the Five Kage have gone to rescue him.
Boruto went with them.
Boruto too?
Yes.
He snapped out of his depression just like that, and went with them.
That's so like him.
We'll use this to get to them.
Let's go!
Sarada, Shikadai…
Take care of everyone!
He'll be okay, right?
My dad and the Five Kage are with him.
He'll come home safely, right?
He'll be okay.
After all, Boruto is my sun.
I knew you were going to say that.
You're right!
All right, you were in critical condition…
You have to stay in bed and rest.
Yeah…
I feel like all my energy is drained.
There you go!
This is kind of fun.
Yeah, yeah…
Okay, I'll be going.
I'll call Shizune for you.
Okay.
Boruto,
you are amazing, after all.
Rescuing Naruto!
How does it feel to be nourishing this nursery that I created?
It's nice, isn't it?
That Divine Tree was created from one like you,
who harbored a beast.
Old Man Bee…!
In a short while, you'll become a Divine Tree too.…
What a ridiculous amount of chakra.
We've finally just reached the halfway point.
It's taking too long.
Sorry about that.
You see, we ninja don't like to make things easy,
ya know?
You see, ninja are different from you…
Our powers took time and hard work to acquire…
It's not like we're gonna give it up that easily.
So what? What are you going to do?
You train and persevere endlessly, and pointlessly,
getting nowhere at all, such vulgar creatures.
Once you become Chakra Fruit… you're merely fodder.
Before coming here,
I was able to absorb many jutsu.
I don't know just how much time you spent mastering them…
But with this pill,
we can obtain power greater than yours effortlessly.
This Shinobi Gauntlet allows one to use ninjutsu
without using your own chakra in addition to other people's jutsu!
So it's exactly like a Scientific Ninja Tool…
It's…all my fault, huh?
If you'd talked to me before…
I…
I wouldn't have ended up in this situation now!
I drove him to it…
That's why he relied on a Scientific Ninja Tool…
I treated him like a kid, didn't even acknowledge him…
I didn't try to really see who he is.
That's why he—!
What are you mumbling about?
Be quiet for a bit…
It's still going to take considerable time.
So? What's this "awesome power" you discovered?
The Byakugan!
What?
Ordinarily, the Byakugan requires intense training
before one can manifest it.
Oh, really?
Then I must really be a genius!
Like what Shikamaru just said…
One cannot awaken it without intense training.
And I know better than anyone,
that you haven't gone through that kind of training.
What?
Are you trying to say I'm lying?
No. There are cases like Himawari who've awakened it out of the blue…
So, we can't write it off just yet, but…
In other words, you don't trust me!
There has to be some basis for it, at least…
I can see it!
Look carefully.
That's…
The person who attacked your classmates today.
All the chakra in his body has been almost depleted.
Listen,
it's sheer luck that you've been safe
all this time during these incidents, that's all.
This is no longer a matter for kids playing detective.
I know that!
No.
You don't know the true horrors of battle.
First, graduate from the academy.
Then we can talk.
That's not fair!
Getting workplace experience…
That's all Boruto and the others were doing…
They were doing as they were told, by me.
Right, Boruto?
Shino, he's still a kid.
He's too young to be able to make that distinction.
Maybe so.
But there are times when a child can show us
that he can do more than an adult…
if he's treated like an adult.
Why not?
You're the Hokage, aren't you, Dad?!
Being the Hokage doesn't mean I can do whatever I please.
I have to consider the welfare of the entire village.
Don't worry.
Like I said, I won't let her down.
But try not to stick your nose into dangerous situations.
What's that supposed to mean?!
When I do something, I do it, ya know!
Boruto, I didn't apologize to you properly.
About your birthday, the other day…
It doesn't matter.
You're super busy with Hokage business, right?
I never had my hopes up anyway.
Boruto…
Instead…
You'd better be home for Himawari's!
I don't care
if my stupid old man comes home for my birthday or not, for me…
But…
But she's still small, and she wants you there.
So, promise me… Swear that you'll come home for that.
Yeah, I got it.
I'll never forgive you if you break your word.
This is a promise, man to man, got it?
I really didn't try… to understand him at all.
I guess I can't complain…
it's only natural if he calls me "stupid old man."
Don't resist.
Stop mumbling and just let your chakra be extracted.
Sorry… That's not gonna happen.
I plan on wrapping this up quickly so I can hurry back home…
…to him…
…after I beat you.
Let's go!
These guys?!
It's the man in the black cape with the Rinnegan!
Dad!
Don't think that you can escape from us.
Stop babbling, you vulgar creatures!
Let's do this!
Are you okay, Dad?
Boruto!
What are you doing here?
Your clothes…
A lot has happened…
In short, he's become a ninja.
I feel like I'm looking at my own Shadow Clone.
Do I look at least a little cooler?
Yeah, more than before.
So, you were paying a little attention to me before?
Boruto… I'm sorry for everything up until now.
By trying to protect you and everyone in the village…
I ended up ignoring my family…
And I didn't even try to understand you.
Dad…
When I was a kid…
I wanted attention too, and kept getting into mischief.
I'm the last guy who has the right to lecture you.
You used to…get into mischief?
Huh?
Oh yeah…
I'd paint words like "stupid" and "idiot" on the Great Stone Faces, too…
…and Iruka Sensei yelled at me a lot.
No kidding…
Y'know, I don't know anything about you, Dad.
Boruto…
No, that's not it…
Actually…I wanted to know all the time.
But my pride held me back…
and I didn't try to see your side… and kept pushing back at you…
But now…I want to know.
So…
It's fine the way it's been.
Yeah…
It's okay to keep things just as they were…
Just…
When you have time, instead of lecturing me…
I want you to tell me stories from your past.
Okay.
But are you sure about that?
Huh?
It's a really long story!
All right, if we're gonna protect everyone…
We'd better get going.
Protect everyone, huh?
Hmm?
Oh, nothing…
You always say you have to protect everyone in the village…
You really mean it, don't you?
Of course, ya know!
I never go back on my word.
Because that's my…Ninja Way!
All right, let's go!
Yeah… Let's do this!
In any case, make sure that no one is missing.
Also, one intruder went into hiding.
There's a good chance he's still lurking close by.
Maintain full alert status.
We don't know what to expect, so be on your guard!
– Yes, sir! – Yes, sir!
Dad…
What's wrong?
Um, shouldn't we…send reinforcements?
Worried about Boruto?
Well yeah… He's my friend.
Kinda like me, when it came to Naruto,
I remember I couldn't sit still…
Just calm down.
We don't even know if the enemy will launch a second wave of attacks.
You're always so cool and rational…
I'd expect you to be able to read the situation.
Listen, this is the total defense opening position, Static Rook Anaguma.
You get what I mean, don't you?
Yeah…
We're the ones…
who'll protect this place… the Hidden Leaf Village…
until Boruto and the others return!
Excuse me, Dad!
I'm going to join up with the others!
Well look at him, he's become such a big shot…
Tsk!
You're quite nimble and fast for your size.
I'll soon make you regret your insolence, you inconsequential weakling!
You're wide open!
As are you!
Why you impudent—!
Chidori!
Bloody Mist Sword Art: Honenuki: Bone Mutilation!
Tsuchikage!
Leave it to me!
Lava Style:
Ash Stone Sealing Jutsu!
Leave this one to us!
You go for the other one!
Attacking when the Five Kage were all assembled…
You guys have such bad luck…
If I were to die here, Kagura would end up becoming the Mizukage, so…
…we won't let you get away anymore!
Sorry we're late!
Dad, wait!
What is it, Boruto?
You can't use ninjutsu on him!
He absorbed every jutsu I threw at him when I used the Scientific Ninja Tool.
And he magnified the intensity of those jutsu many times over and threw it back at us.
What a pain.
Simply put…
You absorb jutsu, then release it…right?
But once your ammo is used up, the jutsu is useless.
Just like the Scientific Ninja Team's toys…
Then that makes things easy.
We'll proceed without jutsu, and take you down with brute force.
Although that's kinda dull.
Your partner is already done…
Surrender.
Is that your child, Fox?
I see!
It seems you're burdened with a rather interesting fate…
What a pity, Fox…
That you possess so much power,
yet not the means to pass it down to the next generation…
You bastard, what the hell are you talking about?!
Get back, Boruto!
Let me show you…
how my clan does things!
No way!
Now, Lord Momoshiki!
It seems the time has come for you to consume my chakra…
The same way that my guardian entrusted me with their power!
Do not waver!
Of course!
Your own brethren!
Damn it!
This is bad.
It's too late.
Fox…
You're next!
How about we end this right now?
You fools who dare defy a god!
Damn it. This isn't looking too good.
That's right. You get it. Now die!
I can't wimp out now!
I gotta trust my teacher who believed in me.
I have to believe!
Next time on Boruto Naruto Next Generations:
"Father and Child"
I gotta do this!
