You guys... Team 10?

What are you doing here?

Seems I was right.

I figured you guys went after Mitsuki and would be right around here.

And my Super Beast Scroll made it easy to catch up to you.

You mean you were sent out to capture Mitsuki?

Well, almost, but not quite.

Watch out!

Look, don't waste our time.

What's the big idea?

We ought to be asking you that.

It's only natural to interpret your actions as desertion. So we were all

out here to bring the two of you back to the village, even though we don't like

it. You mean Team 10 is hunting us down?

Sorry, but orders are orders.

And if you resist, then we'll have to use force.

She could die.

I don't know.

is is

We're bringing you guys back to the village.

Because that's our mission.

I'm sure you know, but if you refuse, you'll be branded as Rogue Ninja.

That's right, and we really don't want to see that happen.

So, come on, Sarada.

Cho -cho.

Just hold on for a minute, would you guys?

I have to see Mitsuki one more time and find out the truth from him.

I understand you're worried about your friend.

But investigating the incident isn't your mission now, is it?

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

No, that's not it. I'm saying that you're making this situation dangerous.

Because you're rushing in all frantic.

You're saying I'm being irrational?

Yeah. I get why you'd want to rush in.

Mitsuki's a friend.

But it's exactly because he's a friend that you should be cool and rational

about this. Right?

I can't do that.

Boruto!

Shikidai, I can admit you're making a strong argument.

But all the same, I just have to go and find Mitsuki.

You mean... Sadly, I don't think we're going to be able to convince them to

come.

Get ready.

Ninja art!

Super beast goal!

Partial expansion choo -choo!

That was too close.

I've expected much from Moegi -sensei. I've got no choice.

I'm sorry. Your eyes are truly amazing.

But I'm not a Joanie for nothing.

Don't worry, though.

I'll do my best not to hurt Konohamaru's students.

They're strong.

It's hard for any of us to use jutsu that might be lethal to you.

Luckily, there are lots of other methods we can use to capture you.

Yeah, exactly.

Sealing jutsu.

Crouching tiger bullet.

Sorry, Sarada. We're taking you home. It has to be like this and fine.

But it... Can it move?

This is the new special move that my dad just taught me.

Bet you didn't know about this, did you? Even a problem child who won't listen

can't escape if he's gotten sealed away in a scroll.

Oh, yeah?

What was that jutsu Boruto just did? He had a special jutsu up his sleeve, huh?

I figured out the pattern to their actions.

27 more moves and it's over.

Hey, Yurito.

You just loafing around again or what? So this is where you are.

Oh, thank you.

You can just put it down right there.

What's wrong? I get the feeling you're here for something else.

I heard that only Team 10 was sent out to go retrieve Boruto and Sarada.

What's up with that?

Finding Mitsuki and bringing him back is our top priority.

But we don't have the manpower to add to Team 10.

That isn't what I mean.

Pitting friends against each other makes things hard.

Look, you don't have anything to worry about. He learned a lot in the Byakuya

gang incident.

He'll do the right thing, even if they're friends.

Well, I suppose that's okay.

Besides, I know him. He's probably thinking the same thing I'm thinking.

What? Come on.

Spare me the whole proud dad act.

Well, it's the perfect mission for him.

I see.

They tried to deceive us with shadow clones.

Just as Sheikah Dai predicted.

You're up next.

Roger that.

The trees will be sparse from here on out.

Which means they aren't going to be able to hide from aerial tracking.

Yeah, but even though it's an order, I still don't like the idea of having to

battle Tharada.

Hey, come on.

I mean, it isn't like we have to kill them.

If we can capture them this time, then it's over.

Wait, Shikidai, are you just forcing yourself to do this?

What's that supposed to mean?

I knew it. You act like you're cool with all this, but really, you're worried

about Boruto and Mitsuki too, right?

Shut up.

Is that wrong?

Of course not.

I mean, I know that you're a surprisingly kind person.

Yeah, well, Mitsuki's my friend too.

That's why we can't let this thing get any bigger than it is now.

You're right.

Mitsuki is why Boruto and Sarada deserted, and that certainly won't

standing in the village.

So Lord Seventh won't be able to keep protecting him?

Is that what you mean?

That's why stopping them here isn't only for their sake, it's also for Mitsuki's

sake as well.

So unless their reason's perfectly rational, we can't really lend any merit

whatever they might have to say.

Seems like you understand.

For everyone's sake, huh?

What bothers me is that even the normally level -headed Sarada went off

Boruto. There must be something pushing them to do this.

But if so, what is it?

Found them!

What?

But there are two pairs.

There are two sets of Boruto and Sarada going in opposite directions.

Shadow clones, huh?

What do you think, Shikidai?

Seems like a classic strategy to split up our fighting power.

We'll go after one pair of them.

Moiki -sensei, the other.

I get it. Take down the decoys and then regroup.

I see.

Till then, whoever finds them... Yeah, we'll still have the advantage.

It's gonna be checkmate.

Boruto. What's wrong?

Moegi -sensei just took out both of our decoys.

Man, she's good.

They caught up already?

Well, it seems like we've got the real ones.

I really think that you should give this whole thing up now.

Do we really have to fight each other? Cho -Cho, it's hard for me too.

Nuh -uh. Sorry, but I'm not going to hold back this time around, Sarada.

Boruto, I won't show any mercy to you or to Mitsuki either.

I'll stop you right here.

Oh, yeah?

I guess neither of us is willing to bend for friendship.

Well, it seems there's no other way.

So let's do this. First, shadow clones to confuse us.

Shadow clone, too soon!

Obvious.

I'm gonna get you with one shot!

Then Sarada will take advantage of the chaos.

I take down the command post.

Are you okay, Sarada?

I've seen the same strategy over and over.

It may work on other people, but it's not going to work on me.

Seriously? You think you've got this already?

And I know that desperate trick as well.

Okay, again!

Oh, yeah?

Paralysis now complete.

Borto!

Everything's going just the way you said, Shikidai.

I figured that you'd believe a plan as simple as this one would actually work.

And I was right.

Damn it.

So you switched in the explosion.

Moigi -sensei's gonna be here soon.

Sorry, but that's checkmate, Borto.

Shikidai, I have to find Michi. You idiot!

You can't just leave Mitsuki alone, just like I can't leave you alone.

I can't just stand by and watch you be reckless.

Huh?

Isn't that... To begin with, I think there's more to this incident than

what meets the eye.

And what does that mean?

Whether Mitsuki was behind the attack on the gate or not, he couldn't have

pulled it off all alone.

You mean that it's some kind of conspiracy, then?

I can't say it is for sure.

But it is also possible that Boruto and Sarda have managed to find some kind of

clue. So, let me guess, the reason you sent Shikidai... I'm not able to leave

post right now. So then, if for some reason Shikidai does uncover

Then he'll be able to make the optimum decision.

I'm gonna get going.

Right.

Shikidai, you know the proverb, the knight that jumps far can fall prey to a

pawn?

Meaning if a knight tries to charge in alone, he could be taken down when he

isn't expecting it.

Yeah, I know the proverb.

Well, that's good then.

He won't get ahead of himself. I made sure.

Well, hopefully it doesn't backfire.

Is that the snake Meatski uses to send messages?

Where'd you find it?

Just outside the Leaf Village.

Well then, tell me what message he gave to you.

It was just something super vague.

It said, this is my will, okay?

But still, something big is going on with him.

He left me this message, so it has to mean something.

And I gotta find out what that is.

It's for you.

All this time, I really believed I knew him well. But actually, I didn't know

anything at all. That's why I have to go.

Hey, what's up, chickadee?

Seems the game board has changed.

Sorry, Dad.

I'm going with Boruto.

What?

They're probably fighting the real pair by now. I gotta hurry.

Could he be one of the assailants?

Tell me, what village are you from?

Oh, won't answer? Okay, I guess I'll just have to beat you into confessing.

Huh?

He's strong.

Who is he?

Water style!

Water ha -

Wait, just hold on.

First hear me out, okay?

Just think about it. If Mitsuki truly wanted to leave the village, why would

have to attack the guards at the gate? He would have had plenty of

to simply sneak away.

That's true.

And then there's this snake, too.

Mitsuki took the time to leave Boruto a message.

I don't understand. What about it?

If he's actually a spy who betrayed the village, wouldn't that be kind of weird?

Would he really want to leave behind such damaging evidence?

You know, you might have a point, but... Breaking through security, leaving the

message? I can't believe that was all premeditated.

Mitsuki might be caught in the middle of some unthinkable situation.

So then, you're saying you believe Mitsuki's innocent?

I didn't say that.

Don't jump to conclusions.

It's just that all these little suspicions are starting to add up to one

suspicion, and that splits the game board.

So in order to try to clear up this mystery, I'm going with you, Borto.

Shikidai... Like I told you, Mitsuki's my friend as well.

And besides, you're way too reckless.

But don't go celebrating just yet.

The incident with the guard still hasn't been disproven.

If it turns out that Mitsuki really is a traitor, then that's that.

You talk a lot, but as of right now, you're as guilty as me.

Oh, shut up. I'm not like you.

After all, at least I'm able to think things through.

I'm sorry, but please apologize to Moigi -sensei for me.

Hey, are you serious?

Boruto's right. You'll be called a deserter, too.

Come on, Cho -Cho, say something, would you?

All right. Well, then, I'm going with Sarada, too.

Seriously, I mean, I don't want to be the one to get yelled at by Moegi

for not stopping you guys.

And besides, I also want to help you out, Sarada.

Cho -Cho, you're the best.

Seriously?

Well,

I don't want to get stuck with the short end of the stick, either.

Wait, don't tell me that. Look.

All three of us together make up Inoshikacho, don't we?

Well, all right.

Since it's come to this, then I'm just going to say that you two forced me into

it. You guys.

You're kind of sticking your nose into our business.

Yeah, like you're one to talk.

We haven't been together this long for nothing, right?

He's gone.

Why did he retreat?

He wasn't even trying to kill me. What was he doing?

He was buying time!

Oh no, the kid!

We're sorry, Muegi -sensei.

Ryuichi Cave, huh?

Yeah. We're heading there so the White Snake Sage can extract information from

Mitsuki's snake.

I'm starting to get a really bad feeling about this whole thing.

To deal with the White Snake Sage, we can't use ordinary methods.

We don't know if they're friend or foe.

There's no point in worrying about it now.

Look at us. We were all fighting, and now you're all coming with us. Come on,

don't be so naive.

I just explained that I don't fully believe you yet.

All I want to do is find out the truth. That's why I'm coming.

Sorry, Dad.

The night ended up falling prey to a pawn after all.

But there's no way I can leave them to do this alone.

It's too dangerous.

I feel like it's beyond them.

Man, this is a real drag.

I think this ought to be far enough, right?

It sure isn't easy slowing down a Joanie without showing your cards.

That guy's impulse has always caused such a headache for me.

Or maybe he's just a proud dad.

This is super creepy.

Ryuji Cave should be just up ahead.

Yeah, let's go.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Thank you.

So what's Ryuichi Cave like?

It's a place of this world while at the same time not of this world. It's a

secluded site where stages live and undergo severe training.

Are we going to make it out of there alive?

Guess there's no telling what we might stir up.

Next time on Boruto Naruto Next Generation, the trials of Ryuichi Cave.

Just you wait, White Snake Sage. We're definitely going to find you.
