Who's there?

What the hell was that?

Wind Scythe!

Come on!

Damn you!

I don't know.

The status?

It appears two tuning guards were attacked, and they're both in a coma

And the assailant?

We're still in the middle of our investigation, but we haven't found

yet. I see.

Well, thank you.

I wonder why Mitski's not here yet.

He's probably still crashed out over at his house.

Oh, and how would you know that?

We're both totally in sync with each other. I know everything there is to

about Mitski, you know?

Is that so?

But still, I wish Big Brother Konohamaru would have told us yesterday that our

mission today was canceled.

He said something really urgent came up.

Well... If there isn't a mission for us to go on, let's go and tell Mitsuki in

person.

What?

Yeah.

So, uh, where's this house again?

Really bored, Toh? So how are you two totally in sync?

Because Mitsuki and I are so close.

We don't even need to know stuff like where the other one lives, you know?

Wait,

um, I think...

Maybe he went out.

You think someone might have told him already and he just took off?

And not come to our meeting spot first?

Boy, I really doubt it.

Uh, it's open.

Hey! Hey!

Hmm. It doesn't seem like he's here.

I hate to say this, but his place is kind of depressing.

So this is where Mitsuki lives, huh?

Did you know Boruto?

No. I mean, I heard he lived alone, but...

Come to think of it... 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.

Actually, we haven't seen him in a while.

Oh, man.

Yeah, we've all been really busy.

Helping with the Five Kage Summit.

Do either of you know any places where Mitsuki might, I don't know, hang out?

Wait,

why don't you know that, Boruto?

What? You two guys are always together.

Isn't that something you'd know better than us?

Hey.

Well, I guess you can be close and still be mostly in the dark about that sort

of stuff.

We didn't find him either.

I'm also picking up a super nervous vibe. I think that it'd be best if all

went home soon.

Oh? Just what do you mean?

They told all the Jonin they're supposed to assemble in the Hokage's office.

If that's the case, then it's no wonder that all the team missions were suddenly

cancelled.

I guess it's nice for us to get a little break.

But the Jonin wouldn't have been called up without a reason, right?

I tried asking Muegi -sensei what was going on.

But all that she did was brush me off.

I don't like the sound of this.

Dad and the others, they're hiding something.

I just remembered.

Hey! Hold on!

This whole thing's turning into a real drag.

Mitsuki's gone missing?

What's going on?

Did something happen?

We heard about how all of the Jonin were ordered to assemble.

No. It's just a meeting to go over the Five Kage Summit.

Back to Mitsuki. You haven't heard anything?

We can't find him anywhere, you know?

Well, you know how Mitsuki is. It's probably nothing.

So what? You weren't worried at all, big brother?

I'm sorry, but I've gotta go right now.

Try to stay out of trouble, okay?

You catch that? Sure did.

It seems Big Brother Konohamaru is hiding something, too.

Who's there?

Just a little bit farther.

Most of the troops are already on the move.

So if it turns out to have been an attack, the police force won't be able

handle it alone.

It appears that the medical condition of the other Chunin has been stabilized.

I see.

Well, I'm glad there's at least some good news.

However, this is still a direct provocation against the village.

It's been a while since that happened.

Is it possible that we could be dealing with the Otsutsuki?

If that were the case, then I'm sure Sasuke would have already contacted us

about it. These days, the five Kage are all cooperating. But we haven't heard

about any unusual occurrences in the other villages.

Could this have been terrorists or rebels? We're continuing to investigate.

But without interrogating the attackers, it's difficult to draw any conclusions.

Since they only attack the guards at the gate, there's no real way to ascertain

their true motives.

I return from a long trip, and this is what I come back to, Naruto?

Granny Tsunade!

Lady Tsunade, the fifth Okage!

What's wrong?

She always used to scold me when I was a kid.

And she's seriously scary when she snaps!

Oh man, what did you do back then?

Lady Tsunade, when did you get back into the village?

Never mind all that.

I heard that a couple Leaf Shinobi were attacked.

Yeah. Before dawn today.

Someone took down the Chunin guards at the gate.

Naturally, I assume you're investigating the situation?

What's going on here?

Well, you see... This was found at the site.

Is it one of the Chunins?

No. I wanted to confirm something. That's why I asked Konohamaru to be

This is... This is Mitsuki's.

Mitski?

He's connected to the attack somehow?

As I thought.

And no one's seen him since this morning.

Oritos said the same thing.

Were the attackers after Mitski, then?

Seems like there was a good chance of that.

Considering who he is, it wouldn't be strange for him to be targeted.

Mitski? Who might that be?

That's right.

I forgot. I haven't told you about that yet, Granny Tsunade.

We're ready to start the procedure.

We'll have to explain everything to her later if that's all right.

Let's get to the medical department.

Eno's going to use her jutsu now. She'll check the memories of one of the Chunin

who was attacked.

It's because of the seriousness of the situation that we asked you two advisors

to sit in.

We'd like your input in order to decide how to proceed.

To think you'd call the two of us in. What's going on?

Okay, you know, we leave it to you.

Right.

So this is really going to help uncover who took Mitsuki?

Considering the extent of their injuries, it'd be dangerous to dig too

They're the hard limit. We can only take a look at right before he lost

consciousness. Right. Well, that's fine.

We should still be able to discover what happened.

Uh -huh.

I see images of the incident.

Let's get out of here now.

It

can't

be. No way.

And then he ran toward the setting moon.

That's the point when the memory cuts off.

And you're sure?

Absolutely sure?

Yes. I'm quite certain that he wasn't taken.

He left on his own. Is it a possibility that someone was using a transformation

jutsu? I suppose so, but for what purpose?

It seems as long as we don't know where he is, we have to assume that it was

indeed Mitsuki.

This entire thing's turning into a serious drag.

What's up with all that?

Gotta be a mistake, you know?

It's clear that if this Mitski person is connected to the assailants, then we

can't just let him go.

Yeah, I know that.

Now just hold on a minute. Isn't it a little premature to assume the only

conclusion is that Mitski's a traitor?

I mean, he's not someone who'd do something like this for no reason.

I say that first we contact his guardian.

I believe that he's from the Hidden Sound Village.

From the Hidden Sound?

We can contact him immediately. We just have to tell his observer.

You mean that they've been under observation even before this incident,

Naruto, what exactly are you hiding?

What's the meaning of this, Lord Seven?

Konohamaru.

Nitsuki.

Is Orochimaru's son.

Just what do you think you're up to, Naruto?

In the past, Orochimaru caused the Hidden Leaf irreparable harm.

You witnessed that with your very own eyes.

I know.

There's no way I'd ever forget that.

However, I accepted Mitsuki as a fellow shinobi. But what sides?

Orochimaru doesn't have any reason to make a move against us right now.

That may be so, but his moves aren't always so rational.

That's true, but the data from Orochimaru's research will be critical

whole ninja world, especially when it's time to fight the Otsutsuki.

That's the reasoning for all of this.

All right, then what about Mitsuki? Do you intend to just let him go?

In any event, it should be quite clear by now.

Orochimaru's son is a danger to the Leaf. Perhaps death is greater danger as

father.

He's the son of the shinobi who killed the third Hokage, after all.

Isn't it common sense to think he's dangerous to the Leaf, too?

Mitsuki isn't like that.

If we can't count on Dad and the others...

We'll just have to do something ourselves.

I really don't understand it.

Understand what?

All those memories Ino saw. They couldn't have been lies or illusions.

You heard Big Brother Konohamaru.

Mitsuki's not someone who'd do something like this without a reason.

Yeah, but we really didn't know all that much about Mitsuki at all, did we?

That's not true!

I mean, we didn't even know anything about Mitsuki's parents, you know?

You mean that Orochimaru guy?

I actually met him this one time, but he was doing all this really weird

research. He felt like someone to stay away from.

What's that got to do with all this?

Mitsuki's still Mitsuki.

Yeah, but when he heard that Mitsuki's father was Orochimaru, Konohamaru

was really shocked.

The others said he was dangerous, too.

You must know deep down in your heart, right?

Don't you?

That there's still a whole lot that we don't know about Mitsuki.

But Mitsuki's still our friend, isn't he?

So if we don't have faith in him now, then who else will?

I want to trust Mitsuki too, Boruto.

Well then... But still!

You and I are both shinobi, right?

We have to set aside our emotions and analyze every single possibility there

could be.

Even if it's a friend who... Who betrayed us, is that it?

Do what you want.

Hey, wait!

You can't just leave. We're not done talking.

Hey, Sarada.

What?

Hokage, you say you want to become just a shinobi with amazing skills?

I thought that you, out of everybody, would give Mitsuki the benefit of the

doubt until the end.

Later.

I heard about Mitsuki.

She could die.

The village was just put on maximum security emergency alert. It's

but anyone leaving without authorization will be treated as a deserter.

So Mitski's... An official tracking team is going to be formed to go after him.

In the worst case, as a criminal.

Why does everyone distrust him?

Hey.

Don't do anything stupid, okay?

I'll behave. I'm just tired.

A lot's happened today, you know?

Meatski, where'd you go, man?

Hey, that's Meatski's.

What's going on?

No way, I won't let you have it!

What was that?

It's what? My will?

What the hell is going on?

Sarada?

I got a message from Mitski.

Yeah? And? It said, this is my will.

That's all.

So, wait. Does that mean he left the village of his own free will?

Maybe. But there's no way to know that for sure by just staying here.

The way things are now, there's no way.

I just don't understand why he left.

Even though we were always together, I didn't really understand him at all.

I didn't get that till he was gone.

Yeah, you're right.

That's why I want to see him again.

So that I can confirm what Mitski's will is.

If you leave the village, then this time you're going to be the one who's hunted

by your friends.

You get that?

Yeah, but I've decided.

I trust Mitski.

Right now, that's what my will is.

Let's take that snake to Orochimaru's lab.

We can probably find out more information there.

Until we find out just what Mitsuki's thinking, I'm going to keep you company.

What? Really?

Are you okay with that? You're going to be pursued, too.

You and Mitsuki aren't the only members of Team 7, remember?

I want to know what Mitsuki's will is, too.

Sarada.

If I just leave everything up to you, who knows what kind of trouble you'll

up in. Oh, shut up.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Let's go.

Hey, about Mitsuki's snake.

Will we really find out more just by asking this Orochimaru guy?

Probably. I have a feeling that asking him about the snake will be the quickest

route. All right. Then as soon as we learn something, we're going to go and

for Mitsuki.

But Orochimaru conducts some really questionable research.

Next time on Boruto, Naruto Next Generation, The Other Side of the Moon.

Wait for us, Mitsuki.
