The footprints.

Why'd they stop all of a sudden?

Is this a trap?

Just intended to lure us in?

Damn it. Where are they going to come at us from?

You mean the things Dad and everyone fought during the Fourth Great Ninja

Yeah. I thought they were all destroyed. I guess some survived.

Still, I've never seen one take on this form.

Wait, what are you talking about?

I don't know.

I

don't

know.

Wing style, too?

But how can... How many styles of jutsu can you use?

It may come in quite handy during your missions, so I hope you'll accept it.

The hell was that crazy monster anyway?

He's called White Zetsu.

He's basically a living weapon, created by Kaguya Tsutsuki, the last enemy we

battled during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

But didn't Lord Seventh and the others destroy them all?

So what's something like that doing down here after all this time?

I think the answer to that lies deeper inside here.

What do you mean?

Can it be a relic of the Otsutsuki clan down here?

Long ago, Kaguya used the roots of a tree just like this to cultivate

White Zetsu.

But that White Zetsu form, I've never seen anything like it in the intel.

Its intellect seemed low, but still its strength was off the charts.

Maybe it underwent a change while left alone?

Wait a minute.

Does that mean there are even more like that one further down underneath us?

What? No way, that is seriously bad.

Actually, I don't think there are more.

Why not, Mitsuki?

It's been nearly ten years since it locked its master.

That bud is dried up.

I don't believe it's even active right now.

If they don't have a supply of chakra, they cannot incubate.

Yeah, let's hope not.

Mitsuki. You sure seem to know a whole lot about this.

Well, I learned all about it from my parent.

Okay, let's head down already.

Boruto. I mean, come on. Now that we know about that thing, we can't ignore

You say that like going down there is gonna be easy. Just listen.

If this is the factory where those monsters are made, then we have to

all of it. That may be true, but... Big Brother Konohamaru, let's get that

thing. All four of us.

Boruto. That would seem to be a good strategy.

But no.

What? But how come?

Look, this ruin definitely appears to be inactive.

But if that's the case, then why is White Zetsu here?

Huh? Well, that's... What it means is that we should assume that there are

others here, too.

And frankly, those things are too much for you to handle.

Hey, hold on a minute. What are you trying to say here? That we're a burden

you? To put it bluntly, yes.

You're in over your heads here.

What, so we're all just going to retreat then?

Not quite, because I'm going to go in there by myself.

You're right that we can't just leave this place. And if anyone's going to

with it, it has to be a Jonin like me.

I need the three of you to go back to the village and report on the situation

here in case I don't make it back.

Konohamaru Sensei! No, we can't, Big Brother Konohamaru.

It's okay.

Together... We can find a way to beat that thing.

You didn't live through the Great Fourth Ninja War.

You don't know how terrifying the things connected to Kaguya Otsutsuki are.

Kaguya is a god -like being, one that first brought about ninja like us.

Her power is beyond measure.

He's that powerful?

There's no doubt that you three have grown strong, but this is on a whole

level. Greater strength will be required from here on out.

Don't let this get you down.

Take your time and build up your strength.

The one thing that we must absolutely avoid is for all of us to fall here.

So you three need to go back, and that is an order.

Arada... Don't get me wrong, it's not that I agree with Boruto.

But at the same time, I also believe that all four of us should go down there

together. What, you do? And why is that?

Since we don't even know where the enemy might be hiding right now, splitting up

would actually be more dangerous for us.

It's possible that thing could come after us instead. In fact, I think

an even greater chance of that happening. Even a slow -witted creature

knows enough to go after opponents that are weaker.

And if that's the case, the best strategy is for the three of us to come

and provide you with backup.

Don't you agree that I'm right about that, Sensei?

Might be, but... Big Brother!

If the risk of attack is the same... I agree that splitting up our battle power

isn't the best move.

Oh, damn it. I guess there's no choice.

We'll prove that we're useful, big brother. I mean, Konohamaru -sensei.

You better.

But whatever happens, you absolutely must not overestimate your strength.

Okay, your orders have changed.

We'll all proceed further inside together.

We'll take down White Zetsu.

Get through this alive and I'll go home together.

Right!

Okay, pay attention.

I need you to listen carefully to the strategy I'm about to explain.

Strategy? That's right.

It's a strategy that's guaranteed to bring him down.

Did we get him?

No. Here it comes.

Just stick to the plan, okay, you guys?

Sarada, use your Sharingan. Right.

It'll use lightning style, wind style, then fire style.

Leave lightning style to me.

Make lightning!

attacks won't work so he's moving to hand to hand combat.

It's exactly as I predicted.

This monster is.

If we keep chipping away at him, then we'll win.

Kamahamaru Sensei's plan is brilliant, of course.

At this rate... That's right.

Keep on picking away at him, Boruto. Just like that.

While you're keeping him busy, I'll get him with this.

Listen close.

First, you're going to lure him in with your shadow clone, Boruto.

But don't do anything reckless.

You understand me?

But...

It's

weakened. If I do it now... Well, eventually everyone will come to

and they'll see your true power, young lord.

And when that time finally comes... If I prove that I can bring him down

myself... Wait, what is Boruto doing?

No!

This is my big chance!

It won't work.

Try to get free, Boruto.

My chakra...

It

just keeps up. You can't have Boruto.

That's the last.

must not overestimate your strength.

Come on, let's go.

Greater strength will be required from here on out.

Yeah, I know, alright?

It's inside cocoons just like these that the White Zetsu are produced.

Don't tell me every cocoon contains one of those monsters?

No, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Yes, they're decomposed.

It seems we've come as far in as we can go.

What if there are more white Zetsu lurking in there behind this barrier?

If so, we'll just have to fight them as hard as we can using the same strategy

as before.

Don't let your guard down.

Wait, those are... Make sure you don't touch those flames.

Why? What's the deal with them? Who knows?

What are those flat -looking black flames?

Almost everything in here is burning. This is... Amaterasu.

And what exactly is that?

That Sasuke's doing.

Flames that only one man can control, that can completely burn anything.

Amaterasu.

I knew it.

It looks like there were several dozen of them in here.

If Sasuke hadn't gotten here first, then all of us would have been goners.

Are you saying he destroyed them all by himself?

Yeah. The wide sets of creature that we encountered must have somehow managed to

escape the attack and survive.

So Sarada's dad was down here? But why? What was he doing in here?

I guess I have no choice since you've seen this much.

Sasuke's been out on a top -secret mission all by himself, tracking down

remnants of Kaguya Tsutsuki.

Top -secret mission?

He said it's a very important duty that only he can fulfill.

But hold on a minute. Where's your dad now, then?

Well, you see, with the power of his Renegon, he can travel through time and

space. He's probably far away by now.

Whoa, so awesome.

You bet he's awesome.

Sasuke is Lord Seven's lifelong rival, and the only person that he truly

considers to be his equal.

He's Dad's rival?

That's right. My parents said so, too.

And that he doesn't receive any accolades, but that he's the Supreme

watches over the Leaf from the shadows.

The Supreme...

So thanks to Sasuke, you guys ended up safe and sound, huh, Konohamaru?

Yeah.

But one thing, Lord Sevens. I know you're just a clone, but why come all

out here?

Well, I just can't ignore anything that has to do with Kaguya.

But at the same time, I can't believe you found a ruin here, too.

You mean... there are others?

Yeah. Judging by that one's appearance, if Kaguya was getting something like

these guys ready, she must have been expecting a serious battle with some

formidable enemies.

An enemy that can only be confronted by an army of monsters like these?

I wonder what kind of foe that could be.

I don't know, but it looks like we're going to have our hands full once again.

So we're just going to be left in the dark after all.

It can't be helped.

That's just part of what it's like to be a genin.

Well, I don't like it one bit.

I mean, don't they know that we... We fought too, is that it?

But still, even when it really counted, we simply didn't have enough power.

Neither one of us did.

Konohamaru -sensei said that we're not supposed to say a word about this. Not

anyone at all.

That means Lord Seventh and the Leaf higher -ups are going to handle the rest

this from here on out.

Sasuke is Lord Seventh's lifelong rival and the only person that he truly

considers to be his equal.

Power that all the grown -ups, everyone, even Dad, will have to acknowledge.

I still don't have enough.

Thank you.

Seems I've finally arrived.

What should we do, Lord Momoshiki?

I thought it would be a fool's errand.

Well then, why don't we go and greet our visitor?
