Mitsuki. Mitsuki. Mitsuki.

Mitsuki. Mitsuki.

Mitsuki. Since you're still a child, it may be difficult for you to understand.

Eventually, you'll realize he's wrong. But you need to stop Orochimaru.

Don't believe him. He thinks he can deceive you because you're a child.

Now, come to me.

No.

Mitsuki. Mitsuki!

Now.

Since I'm only a child, I don't really care about that either way.

As for me, I'll make my own decisions.

As for me, I'll make my own decisions.

I see.

So even I'm able to dream.

I don't...

Hey,

can you guys hurry up and decide?

We're not getting any younger over here, you know.

Though you're having the same thing I am? That's right. I want what you want.

Can you not creepy smile when you say stuff like that? You sure are up front,

Meatski.

Don't you ever feel like rebelling a little?

Like rebelling?

Yeah, you know.

Like when you just want to go against what your parent is telling you.

Not really sure.

Guess not.

Hey. Hey.

You guys are late.

You know, Jean, on your shoulder.

I'm sorry, but can we not talk about it?

No way. You have to hear this one. This is a classic.

Yesterday we had a mission that took us to a poultry farm.

Hey, look.

It's an egg.

It might have just been laid.

What do you think? An omelet or sunny side up? You can't eat it.

Wait, what?

Hey, look.

It's hatching.

And then that little chick totally bonded with him.

Oh, what did I do to deserve this?

It's imprinting.

What'd you call me?

Imprinting's when a chick hatches out of its egg, and it believes that the very

first thing it sees is its parent.

And it immediately forms a bond with what it's seen.

It's called the imprinting fact.

So the first thing it sees gets imprinted in its heart.

That's so interesting.

Doesn't that just sound so sweet, Daddy in a jean? Guys, give me a break, would

ya? Come on.

We're helping with security for the Five Kage Summit today.

So eat up and let's get to work already.

Yeah, okay.

In all honesty, we should have reconvened right after Momoshiki's

got pushed back a little. So I apologize to all of you for that.

The attack threw all of the villages into chaos.

The Otsutsuki clan issue is our main agenda now, right? Yeah, and considering

the importance of the topic, we've asked the previous Kage to join us for this

discussion.

But please, let's not stand on ceremony right now.

Shall I peel one for you?

Oh, sure, thank you.

Hey, wait, where's third Tsuchigage Onoki?

About that. We were still together when we entered the Hidden Leaf Village, but

then, when I realized... So the legendary Onoki has gone senile, has he?

And knowing the way that Onoki is, it's entirely possible that he's

disintegrated a building or two by now.

Well, I guess that it can't be helped.

He's probably out sightseeing.

I'll send someone out to go and look around for him. Can we start without

Kurotsuchi? Yeah.

Please go on ahead.

Seriously, that damn old geezer.

Hey, stay on your toes.

I know, but come on, this is dull. We're just standing here keeping watch.

Mitsuki, do you have any interesting stories to share that'll help me stay

awake?

Well, I don't know how interesting this is, but can I ask you something?

Sure.

Poruto, have you ever had the uneasy feeling That perhaps your own thoughts

might not actually be your own?

What are you talking about?

That chick from earlier thought that Inojin was its parent.

Or maybe it's more accurate to say it was forced to believe that.

Like it's caught in a genjutsu it can't break out of.

And if so, then maybe the feeling I have of wanting to be with you guys... Maybe

I'm being forced to feel that way.

Two.

Just a thought I had.

Okay, listen.

First of all, we're people. We aren't chicks, right?

There's just no way you've been imprinted.

I see.

Yes, you're right.

What about you?

You have any interesting stories?

Hmm.

Oh, yeah.

Actually, my dad asked me this really weird question yesterday.

Oh, yeah? Lord Sevens did?

Yeah, he asked me if I knew what the hardest rock in the whole world is.

The hardest rock in the world?

You mean like what the great stone faces are carved out of?

No, that isn't actually what I meant. But still, it's like the most precious

treasure to a shinobi.

Do you have any idea what it might be, Boruto?

Must be a diamond, right?

There's no way to answer something that simple.

I guess not.

Oh, man.

Now that I remembered his question, it's really bugging me.

Let me see.

I wonder if something happened.

I don't know. I think I'll go over and ask them.

Hey, you know, you should try to listen to Mitski's troubles a little more

seriously. But I do listen to him. If you keep taking his concerns so lightly,

he might stop liking you.

Oh, come on. That's never going to happen. I mean, we're really good

You know that.

I sure hope you don't regret this one day.

It seems that this man is lost somewhere in the village.

They want us to help with the efforts to look for him.

Onoki is the land of earth, huh?

Hey, wait a second! Isn't that guy the third Lord Tsuchikage?

Whoa! This is perfect timing!

Huh? What's that mean?

The Tsuchikage is from the Hidden Stone Village, right?

Which means he's an expert on rock.

Don't you get it? He must know the answer to the question, what's the

rock in the world?

So he's really over a hundred years old? Even if he's the third Tsuchikage,

finding a frail old man like him shouldn't be hard at all, right?

So you guys really don't know?

He's Onoki the Fence Sitter, a famous hero from the Fourth Great Ninja War.

He's able to wield the powerful Particle Release Jutsu. It's the super rare

Keketota.

This old man?

Really?

Hey, stop!

What's your problem, old man? Give it back!

This drawing... doesn't look a thing like me at all.

Sir, are you Ono -

And you are Boruto Uzumaki, right?

Wait, how do you know my name?

I had my fair share of looking after your father, Naruto.

And you are Sarada of the Uchiha, aren't you?

Mm -hmm. And you must be, um... My name's Mitsuki.

I see.

Everybody's been out looking for you, Onoki, sir.

The Five Cloud Gate Summit's underway and... So what? I don't care one whit

about that meeting.

It's so boring.

Yeah, you say that, but, uh... Look, if you insist on trying to take me back

there, I'll turn you all to dust with my fearsome particle style and... Ow!

Ow, that's smart.

That's the fearsome particle style?

No way. Particle style's supposed to make whatever it touches disintegrate at

the atomic level.

My back.

My poor back.

Here you go.

Now, let's get going and return to... Oh, hey, so by the way, old man.

Yes, what is it? Hey, Boruto, do you happen to know what the hardest rock in

entire world is?

What? Really?

You don't even know what that is. So you do know. Come on, please, tell me what

it is.

Well, I wonder if I should.

Pretty please, I'll do anything to find out.

Oh, you will?

All right, then.

Instead of taking me into custody, if you show me around the hidden leaf

village, then I'll consider telling you the answer.

Really? Boruto?

Yes, you should heed the request of an old man whose days are numbered. If

Boruto wants to, I don't mind.

Let me ski, not you two.

Yes, all right.

I'm going to show you around this whole place.

Are you sure about this? Is it really okay to just ditch the Five Kage Summit?

In all likelihood, they're talking about nonsense anyway.

There was another one, right?

Who said he was Otsutsuki?

Yes, the one with the fishing rod.

We should have a subjugation force dispatched at once.

Sasuke's already gone after him. It would be unwise to act with too much

But even aside from those three, we should assume there are unknown others

the Otsutsuki clan.

Maybe we shouldn't be meeting together like this, just sitting around making

dull conversation.

This kind of thing is just the reason why it's essential to meet.

You're peeling that orange so carefully.

I kind of have a thing about stuff like this.

How can you remain so calm? We could suffer another attack at any moment.

Well, according to Sasuke's intel, the Otsutsuki clan's ability to move through

dimensions requires an enormous amount of energy.

It's safe to assume that we have at least a little more time before they can

attack again. How can you be so easygoing?

Just eat the whole thing. Peel and all.

It's more nutritious.

I'm very particular about things. Hey, can we stop trivializing the situation

we're dealing with?

Look, what's the point of panicking about it right now?

When you've gained as much experience as we have, you come to learn that you

don't have to jump at every little thing.

Another nightmare like Kaguya's attack is enough to make anyone nervous, of

course, but nothing is gained by being unsettled all the time.

No, I... Listen, I'm not being unsettled. But you and Onoki, too, don't

have a real sense of the danger that we're facing here.

Speaking of which, I remember how Grandpa Onoki always had just the right

of phrase.

Like how he told us that we all already possessed the strongest thing in the

entire world.

I can't even see what's right in front of me with these things in the way.

Oh, stop complaining.

You must always heed the words of an old man whose days are numbered.

Yeah, so you keep saying.

Hey, tell me the truth. Is that geezer really a legendary shinobi?

You know, we really should start heading back soon. Okay!

Okay!

Particle style atomic dismantling jutsu!

Hey, are you okay?

No way, that was particle style.

Wow, awesome! That was super amazing, you know?

Hey, old man!

Old man!

Grandpa? Grandpa Oniki, wake up!

Come on, Grandpa Onuki, wake up.

Kosuchi.

So you're still alive, then.

But I thought you had... Old man?

Are you okay?

Forgive me for before.

Sure.

But that particle style of yours was incredible.

And I guess I should say I'm sorry we doubted you.

Don't worry about it. By the way, earlier I could have sworn you said

Kozuchi.

Yes, Kozuchi is, well, he was my grandchild.

He was a very smart boy.

He died?

He was just about the same age as you youngsters.

But it doesn't matter. It's all in the past.

Even if the five great nations have a strong union, you can't protect

That is simply reality.

Now then...

You've all been very good to me.

So I suppose that I should give you the answer to your question.

What's he doing now? Who knows?

Choose. Which of these is the hardest rock in the world?

Seriously? It's one of these rocks?

Well, do you know what the answer is?

None of them seems to be particularly special.

This one.

I'll pick this one.

Well, Meatski?

No, thank you. I'm good.

The two of you, are you sure about your choices?

Uh, yeah.

The both of you are completely incorrect.

I knew it. I figured it was the other one all along.

And that rock is incorrect as well.

The hardest rock in the world is...

the bedrock that you have inside you.

Huh?

Whatever adversity you face, no matter what, your bedrock never shatters.

So the answer is your will, your bedrock, the hardest rock in the world.

Oh, so that's it. Now I get it.

All three of you, no matter what hardship or sorrow you encounter from

out, you must never discard your bedrock, your will.

Right.

So that's what the world's hardest rock is, huh?

Yeah, of course. I mean, I knew that all along, so... Yeah, right.

Stop lying. I really did know.

But you didn't even have a single clue about it at all. You should say that

again. Whatever.

Hey, Boruto, hold up. Where do you think you're going?

Seems to me your bedrock, your will, might be a little shaky.

That thing called will is complicated.

It's something that you aren't able to acquire without sacrifice.

You need to have faith in order to get it.

Getting my own will.

But then, how can I really be certain that the will I obtain is genuinely my

own?

That is a very difficult question to answer.

So just... Just what?

If you find that you keep on hitting a wall, but you also keep on clinging to

it, then perhaps that's a sign that it's indeed your true will.

I gotta play this like I figured out the answer by myself.

So don't say anything to my dad, okay?

Say anything?

Why, I posed that same question to Naruto myself.

No kidding, really?

Man, my dad, he was acting like he came up with the question himself.

I had a whole lot of fun sightseeing, thanks to the three of you. If you ever

find yourselves in the land of Earth, I hope you'll come and pay me a visit.

Of course, it goes without saying that I mean only if I'm still alive at the

time.

Okay. Well, we better escort you to the Hokage's office.

Before that, I want to eat another stick of those dumplings.

After all, I am... An old man whose days are numbered, is that it?

I guess what my dad asked me was only a silly trick question. We wasted our time

thinking so hard about it. Am I right, Mitski?

You think?

I thought it was quite a good answer.

Five Kage summits over now you think it will ever be relieved. I sure hope so

Uta su no akaranai hibi tono mono

I love you.

This is where Mitsuki lives, huh?

Did you know Boruto?

I heard he lived alone, but... We never heard him talk very much about his

parents or about what his life was like in his home village, did we?

Yeah, even though we were together all the time.

Next time on Boruto, Naruto Next Generations, Mitsuki's Will.

We really didn't know all that much about Mitsuki, did we?
