Hey, Boruto, don't be in such a hurry, all right?

But I'm not in a hurry at all.

Just so you know, Orochimaru's research lab is guarded by Jonin. We can't rush

up to it recklessly.

Yeah.

Just remember, it's all over if we get caught, okay?

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.

Okay.

Wait for us, Mitsuki.

How many times did I get lost in the days? I lost myself.

The meeting and parting are just a moment.

And it's eternal.

The shadow of longing is in the far darkness.

I can't catch up in the wind as it is.

Thank you for watching!

Yes, and he didn't just disappear.

He attacked some guards, and then he just ran away.

That's what happened.

You seem to be trying to express that you're surprised, but hiding things

help you out. Oh, are you implying that I'm the one pulling the strings from the

shadows?

But why would I do such a thing?

Listen, it's been quite a while since I came to this place to keep an eye on

what you've been up to here.

There haven't been any problems all this time, but still, this issue's not

something we can overlook.

Yamato, I think you should know by now that my only goal is to simply unlock

truth about everything in this world. I've no interest beyond... In any case,

he contacts you, make sure you let me know.

Remember, this is for Mitsuki's sake as well.

Who would have thought that this would happen?

Naruto, I get the gist of the point that you're making.

However, I simply cannot accept it.

According to this data, we don't even know if this Mitsuki is a human child or

not. Isn't that right?

Why'd you allow him in the village?

And solely at your discretion.

Without a doubt, we acknowledge that Orochimaru could well pose a danger.

All the same, we believe that in time, his research will prove very useful to

the village.

Naruto, is all of this true? Even if it is, he should have consulted with us

first. Just acting on your own like this is... He probably thought you'd oppose

the idea if he brought it up, right?

Well, I, uh... I believe that you're all right.

Kakashi -sensei.

The way he went about it was definitely reckless, but I think Naruto also has a

good point.

The Hokage is the guardian of the village. I can't imagine he'd do

wouldn't be to its benefit, right?

Kakashi. And our job is to offer help and support to the Hokage. Our role now

not to criticize what has already occurred, but to assist in finding ways

resolve the situation.

Isn't that so?

That boy.

Ever since he came to the village.

Mitsuki has attended the academy diligently and has always worked hard on

missions he's been assigned as a Hidden Leaf Shinobi alongside Boruto and

Sarada.

That's why I still want to maintain my faith in him. I want to believe Mitsuki.

Then we have no choice.

All right.

Searching for Mitsuki has to become our top priority now.

The situation will only get worse if we keep wasting time like this.

Tsunari, you're being so... Aren't you being too easy on Lord Seventh?

Lord Seventh, sir.

Boruto and Sarada haven't returned home.

Okay.

I'll have the search party for Mitsuki head westward. I assume that Boruto and

Sarada have gone after Mitsuki.

Probably.

Shikidai most likely knows what Boruto is thinking.

So Team Moegi should... Konohamaru!

Please, let me go along too.

First Mitsuki and now Boruto and Sarada too? This involves Team 7. It's my

team's problem.

Look, Konohamaru. I can imagine how you're feeling.

However... Why'd you keep me in the dark?

About Mitsuki.

You know what I'm talking about, don't you, Lord Seven?

Orochimaru isn't only a heinous criminal who brought disaster upon the Leaf

Village. He's also... He's

also the one who killed your grandfather.

So why did you put Mitsuki on my team, then?

Mitsuki has become important to me, and I truly do trust him as a member of Team

Seven. But still...

Listen, Konohamaru.

What if you had known?

What if I'd told you about Mitsuki before this?

Would anything have changed?

It's only natural that you can't forgive Orochimaru. But Mitsuki hasn't done

anything to earn your anger.

Just because he's the son of your enemy, that doesn't make it reasonable to hate

him, does it?

Yes, I'm well aware of that, believe me. And it's because I know... What I

wanted was you to get to know Mitsuki without any of that getting in the way.

Although, the way you found out, having it sprung on you the way that it was, I

truly regret that.

Then please, sir, I'm begging you, let me go on the mission too!

Konohamaru, listen, you gotta calm down. You can't let personal feelings

interfere with a mission.

I'm sorry, but this time I can't let you go.

It's not like Sarada to run off on her own like this, don't you think?

I'm guessing that she couldn't stop Boruto, so she went with him. No way!

What if Sarada's the one who came up with this?

I really doubt that's what happened.

Hey, so what do you think, Shikidai? Do you think Mitsuki's involved in this

incident somehow?

Huh?

Uh, Shikidai?

That's not the problem right now.

We gotta stop Boruto and Sarada.

And soon before the hunters become the hunted.

Damn it, what a drag.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

As you all know, our mission is for us to bring Boruto and Sarada back.

Yes, ma 'am.

So he did come back.

No.

Get him.

Wow, this place.

I almost can't believe Mitsuki actually used to live here.

All right, Orochimaru.

Where are you, huh?

No,

it can't be.

Dumb.

So, sneaking in here, huh? What a naughty kid.

You must be Boruto, right?

It's nice to meet you.

So wait, are you Orochimaru then? Hey, it's Lord Orochimaru.

And my name is Suigetsu.

What is all of this?

He looks like Mitsuki.

A lot.

Yes, that's right.

Every one of them here is Mitsuki.

What?

The Mitsuki I entrusted to the Leaf is also one of my experiments.

He's one of your experiments?

Look, what is going on here?

Is Mitsuki your child or isn't he?

Of course he's my child.

I heard that he has disappeared from the village.

Why are you so calm?

Aren't you worried at all?

There's no need to worry.

If anyone were to get wind of what he is, the curse mark I implanted in him

automatically activate and he will simply self -destruct.

There's no need to worry that the secrets of my research will be revealed.

does that mean? That's not what I'm talking about.

Curse marks? Secret research?

Mitsuki's not a thing.

How can you even call yourself a parent?

What's so funny, huh?

Nothing.

Anyway, Boruto, you didn't actually come all the way here merely to complain to

me, did you?

I wonder if Boruto's managed to sneak inside yet.

Boruto's waiting.

You just leave Yamato to me.

It's you.

You betcha. I think that those glasses look just great on you.

Thank you so much, Codding.

This snake, what message did it communicate to you?

It just said this is my will.

Hmm.

But still, I mean, that doesn't really tell me anything at all, you know?

I figured if there's anything, like, even a small clue in it, I want you to

check, please.

All right, then.

But it will take some time, so please wait here.

Your friend should be arriving shortly.

Sarada. Hey, I heard he's going to check. Thank goodness.

Yeah, but...

Sarada, you've been here before, haven't you?

Yeah, it was real quick, though.

Then did you know?

Huh?

No way.

These are... Yeah, they're all meetski.

It seems that Mitsuki's gone into stage two.

I told you before, the boy can't become the light alone.

However, if the sun illuminates him, he'll shine through the darkness like

moonlight. I see.

But before he does so, it's possible he'll feel the need to understand the

nature of that moonlight.

Understand the true nature of the moonlight?

That's correct.

All we can really do is watch over him so that he can understand.

Found him!

You can't get away from us now,

Mitski.

Just what the hell are you up to?

Didn't you think that was a good training exercise?

You have to get serious now and then or you'll grow dull.

The snake had no other message to offer, aside from the

one you heard, unfortunately.

But why?

Why don't you know?

Why did Mitsuki disappear the way he did then?

Ask all you want, but I have no answers for you.

Are you Mitsuki's parents or not?

Because you have replacements, you aren't worried, is that it?

So you're okay with knowing nothing?

Why didn't Mitsuki just let me know what was going on so I'd understand? Why did

he go off all by himself like that?

I don't get it. I don't get it at all.

After the incident, when we found out about Mitsuki's true identity, Grandma

Tsunade and the others, every one of them, they all became suspicious of

Mitsuki.

But there's no way he'd do something like that!

Really? How can you be so sure?

What?

You saw earlier.

That boy was born in a test tube and raised in a lab.

You didn't even know that before, did you?

It was his choice to leave this place and to go to the Hidden Leaf Village.

I supported his decision and asked Naruto to take him in.

Let me ask you, Boruto. If it was Mitsuki's will, his choice to leave the

Village, how will you feel?

You okay?

I'm sorry that I got so heated in there.

It's not like you.

So uncool, right?

I feel the same way as you.

I don't really have a clue about what was going through Mitski's head either.

I mean, he hardly told us much of anything at all, you know?

No, you're wrong.

We just didn't try hard enough to listen to him.

At all.

Really?

Yeah.

We were always together.

All the time in the world to talk.

But I... Although, you were right about what you said.

Hmm?

Friends trust each other until the very end. Right?

That's right.

But that isn't all of it.

Meetski being born here, and how he lived after coming to the village.

What he was thinking, what he was feeling.

I didn't really understand it.

At all.

But still, because of all that, I want to see him.

And I really and truly want to get to know him.

I feel that from the bottom of my heart.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Hurry.

Yeah, you're right.

That's why I'm absolutely gonna find him.

But where do we even start looking?

So, what do you do now?

Are you all out of options?

Yeah, but... There's one thing I know for sure.

That I still have trust in Mitsuki, even now.

Because... After all, I know he's our friend.

I don't know why he disappeared.

But I'm just gonna keep on believing in Mitsuki. And that's why I have to see

him again. No matter what.

You're really just like the Naruto I knew in the past.

Is the snake's message your only clue?

What I believe.

is that all things possess their own individual thoughts.

And it's not only through words that one can convey one's will.

Can you please stop saying things that make no sense?

So impatient.

You ought to listen to people more closely.

What I'm saying is that the snake itself should have its own thoughts.

Its own thoughts?

You mean that... We can extract detailed information about Mitsuki from the

snake itself?

As I'd expect from Sasuke's daughter.

Then can you check that out?

For me, it's impossible.

However, I know someone who can do it.

Yeah, so who is it? And where are they?

I mean the white snake sage who lives in Ryuichi Cave.

The sage is far from ordinary.

And quite an eccentric.

Orochimaru! Well, well. What do you want from me now?

I want answers. Why did you send Karin after me?

What are you talking about?

Feigning ignorance again?

Then I'll ask another question.

Has anybody else come here recently?

I'm considered a heinous criminal by the leaf.

Now, who in the world would ever want to come here looking for someone like me?

We believe that Boruto and Sarada may have come here looking for Mitsuki.

That's news to me.

I don't have a choice. I'm going to look around.

Go on. Be my guest.

Ryuichi Cave lies in the darkest, farthest reaches of the night.

Only those seeking it can find it.

I hope you get to meet the White Snake Sage.

However, even if you do, I wonder if you'll be able to return alive.

Listen, Boruto. Do you really think that we're going to be able to get to this

Ryuji Cave?

It isn't whether we'll be able to.

It's when.

Found you!

You're not getting past us Boruto.

We can't do this. We can't stop now

Uta -tsu no akaranai hibi sono mono

Thank you for watching!

We're bringing you guys back to the village.

That's our mission.

Just hold on for a minute, would you guys? I have to see Mitsuki one more

and confirm some things with him.

I understand you're worried about your friends. But investigating the incident

isn't your mission now, is it?

Next time on Boruto, Naruto Next Generation.

The enemy, Inoshika Cho.

You're saying I can't help a friend unless it's a mission?
