Original subtitles

I'm here because you're here.

I'm here because you're

here.

human so much, Garga.

You just let yourself get used by humans.

There's no chance I'm going to run away and leave things unfinished!

Wind style! You brat!

Garga, how dare you do that to Cho -Cho?

You're going to pay for that! Huh?

What, you want to be...

a retreat all of a sudden like that he didn't that hole leads to his feeding

grounds he moved to a place where he has the home advantage oh so that's it huh

oh and we were already in a tough spot come on we have to go if we don't get

reverse scale meets

We can't let you push yourself anymore.

Aura, please just wait here.

Lady Sarada, please listen.

You must avoid Garaga's reverse scale at all costs.

Long ago, a giant snake from Ryuji Cave turned into stone just from touching it.

Like those statues we saw.

On top of which, Garaga despises humans.

To attempt to steal it is...

So he won't allow us any chances to get it. We're wasting time.

We can't leave Mitski or Cho -Cho.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Call me if something comes up.

Roger that.

Ah, Yurito.

All this time it was you.

I thought if there was a traitor, then they'd be sure to go after the injured

guard. It seems that I was right.

Shikamaru told us to keep watch over important areas in the building.

But why?

Why do this?

Damn it.

Boruto and the others are in trouble, and we're stuck here on patrol?

Come on. Just like I told you earlier, security is important too.

Hey, look!

What's going on, Yurito?

Udon, perfect timing. The Chunin that was injured at the gate was just

in his hospital room moments ago. You gotta get to the Hokage's office.

What cowardice! Attacking an injured man?

Yeah. I'll go notify the other teams.

Just a minute.

It may be hard to believe, but I possess a pretty keen nose.

Udon sensei?

You're in charge of security for the medical department now. So if someone

staged an attack there, then why would you ever leave your post?

Ah, right. About that.

It'll be better for everyone if you don't cause a commotion.

Are you involved in Miki's disappearance, too?

We're right in the middle of the leaf.

There's no escape.

Please, let's not do this, Udon. Your subordinate's life is on the line here.

You won't get away with this!

It's hard, huh?

Something's not right.

Release! I knew it.

Genjutsu.

Where... where am I?

Yorito, what happened to you?

Udon? What's going on?

Oh no! Everyone back!

What is going on?

Kaboom!

Detonation complete.

And I bet it made such a nice sound, too.

Good thing I laid a trap just in case, huh?

It's hard to believe your genjutsu was released.

It means they're not all fools over there.

In any case, my job here is done.

I'm heading back first to make a report.

It's so unfair.

We're running behind in our plan.

Enough talk.

Yeah, yeah.

Let's go.

It's so

dark

I can hardly see.

He vanished.

It's just like Aura said.

Garuga definitely has the advantage here.

It's camouflage.

He blends in with the color of this cave.

That's why it looked like he disappeared.

This whole situation is becoming a real drag.

It's just a matter of time before he finds us. We gotta keep moving.

It's no good.

How am I supposed to see anything in the dark?

We can't really make a move unless we know where he is.

Inojin, jump!

What is going on?

It's like Garga can see everything that we're doing. It means that even in the

dark, he has ways to find his prey inside this cave.

This is bad.

Yeah, what a close call.

You could say thanks. Thank you.

Seriously, thanks, Inogene.

You sure did draw that super beast scroll super fast.

Nope, wrong.

Even I can't draw anything that fast.

Wait a second, Inogene.

What do you mean?

You know the one I jumped off before?

Well, it ended up being unharmed.

What? What are you thinking?

I think I might have found a way to bring Galraga down.

Gotcha.

Huh? What the?

I knew it.

Galraga reacts to the movement of heat signatures.

Heat signatures?

What do you mean by that?

I've heard of something like that before, too.

So they're able to hunt in the darkness.

Some snakes can sense heat.

Yeah.

Earlier, Garaga was able to track us down, but not the Super Beast Scroll.

Oh, I get it. Because it's just a drawing, it doesn't give off any heat.

Which means if we can take advantage of that... This is his

feeding ground.

It won't make a difference if we just do it once or twice.

But if we keep it up over and over...

You brat!

I can't hold him for long. Okay.

They've got some nerve coming here to raid our territory.

This fortress must be protected at all costs.

Make sure you're at the top of your game, Garuga. Who do you think you're

talking to? You're the one who better be at the top of his game.

Yeah, of course.

Let's wrap up this mission with a bold move.

Yeah, there's no way we're gonna lose.

This place is gonna fall. We've gotta retreat.

Not yet.

I'm gonna take another shot at finishing this.

Back me up.

There's no way they can beat us.

Let's go!

What was that?

You persistent, shameless brat.

Barging into my mind like this.

Karga, you mean this is... Why do you want my reverse scale? Did you come here

to kill me too?

Like him?

No! All I want is to find my friend who left our village.

And for that, I need your reverse scale. You're such an idiot to come into a

place like this just for a traitor.

Mitsuki isn't a traitor. He's my friend.

You don't know anything about it.

Sure I do. I know just how deceitful you shinobi are.

Aura told us all.

About how much you hate humans.

But still, long ago, even you... That was when I was young and dumb.

Like you are now.

Look, there's no denying that the shinobi you had a contract with was a

guy. But it's also true that not all Shinobi are like him.

So you really are dumb after all.

What'd you say?

The guy I entered into a contract with may have been deceitful, but he was

smart. Compared to him, you're nothing at all.

When he abandoned me, do you know the look he had in his eyes?

Why?

His eyes reflected his betrayal.

He had the cold and calculating eyes of a shinobi.

I know the pain of losing someone you trust.

I felt that too. You know it all!

You speak to understand, Brett!

Yeah! I lost Mitsuki!

Don't make me laugh. You only think you understand.

You may believe you know me and this Mitsuki, but you don't. You're right. I

didn't understand anything.

Even now I don't.

But still... Let me explain. Trust is just something you take advantage of.

This Mitski, he made you trust him and then waited for the chance to betray

Just shut up!

It's too bad. If I kill you right now, I won't be able to see you get killed by

this Mitski.

There's no way that's gonna happen!

Hey, I can't hold him anymore.

I've made up my mind.

I won't take Garga's reverse scale.

I'll do a summoning contract with him.

Who do you think you are?

Garga, you just said you'd like to see me get killed by Mitsuki, right?

Yes, I'd love it.

Except what I'll show you instead is me bringing Mitsuki back home.

Garga, look, you're just afraid.

Afraid of trusting someone.

What did you say?

Trust isn't something to take advantage of. Trust means being there to lend a

hand anytime, anywhere.

Quiet!

What will

you do if you can't

bring Mitski back?

If that happens, then kill me.

No way, what's up with Garaga?

Hey, what's so funny, huh?

Interesting.

Okay, I'll play along until you bring back this Mitsuki.

And if you can't, I'll just devour you then.

Fine by me.

Well, well, did you bring Garaga's reverse scale?

It's right here.

Then show it to me. Sure thing.

Watch closely.

You've got some gall trying to get my reverse scale.

I ought to eat you right now.

For a human child, you're really quite interesting.

You mean she was a giant snake, too?

All right, then. I shall reward you.

Now watch carefully, and you shall witness the thoughts that were left

Meatsky's snake.

Want to come with us to the land of Earth?

The answers that you are seeking can be found there.

Wait.

Stop hit hard.

But just for a little bit.

Let's get out of here now.

You see?

What did I tell you?

I knew Mitsuki would become an ally. Enough idle chatter, Sekie.

Let's go.

Now go to where Boruto is.

So Mitsuki asked that snake to just stop the guard's hurt briefly.

And the enemy thought the guard was dead, so they didn't bother stabbing

then he used that snake to trick the enemy?

It seems so, but what exactly does that mean?

It means Mitski saved the guard's life.

I knew it.

It's true. So Mitski didn't betray us at all then.

All that's left now is to get Mitski back.

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with your reasoning.

What? Why not?

Maybe Mitski actually did save that guard. But even then, why would he leave

with the enemy in the first place?

But that... Until I verify what he meant by his will, I can't simply let him go.

Well, in any event, at least now we know where Mitski's headed.

The land of Earth is one of the five great nations.

So if the perpetrators are from there, then... Back when our parents were still

young, it might have meant the start of a war.

Wait, what?

I mean, seriously?

This situation is really that bad?

Hey, what do you want to do, huh?

I'm going, of course.

I want to see Mitsuki.

And hear what he has to say in person.

I hope that you understand.

If worse comes to worse, I'll have to do everything in my power to stop you.

I know.

I'm counting on it.

That kid.

It seems to be bound by a strange destiny.

Be wary, young man.

One cannot run away from one's own destiny.

Wait for me, Mitsuki.

Thank you

for

watching!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you.

Looks like we made it out of Lyuchi Cave safely.

Yeah, but as things stand, we won't be able to get to Mitsuki before he crosses

into the land of Earth.

That's why we need to update the village on our situation.

How do we do that?

We're going to do it by breaking into two teams.

Next time on Boruto, Naruto Next Generation.

Everyone's motive.

We have to let the village know there's a chance Mitsuki's innocent.

Thank you
