What? Only I'm staying behind?

You know, we can't go into the Hidden Stone Village with it tagging along with

us. That would only attract unwanted attention, so we need someone to stay

and watch over it.

And besides, this place is a good base of operations.

If anything goes wrong, we can just meet up back here.

I'm sorry.

I know how you must feel, Elegene. Yeah, I know. I understand.

I mean, it isn't like we can all just storm into the hidden stone together.

We can't risk everyone being captured, right? If anything makes you think the

worst has happened to us, take that guy and return to the hidden leaf.

I got it.

You be careful, okay?

So...

That's the hidden stone, huh?

And the village is all the way at the top?

I can't believe we're finally here.

Back when we left the leaf, I never imagined that we would all end up going

another village.

Hold on. Who are we looking for again?

I told you, he's an old man named Onoki.

When we saw him in the leaf, he told us to come visit him anytime.

As the former Tsuchikage, he just might know something about the people that

Mitsuki joined up with.

Yeah.

I'm sure the old man will be able to help with that.

Come on, let's get going.

Thank you.

I'll go ahead and send some of my people over to the Hidden Stone.

We need to find out just what's going on over there.

It's a risky move, though.

If people were to find out, then it could start a war.

But since we can't contact Kurotsuchi, we don't have much of a choice.

And what if word comes back that Mitsuki truly has joined the enemy?

lost contact with every team we've sent after Mitsuki.

As far as the Hidden Leaf is concerned, he might have turned against us.

And if that in fact is the case, then we cannot let it go unpunished.

Huh?

Konohamaru!

Sorry, it's not a good time. We're discussing important business. Give it

I want the mission.

It seems you were eavesdropping.

All of this has to do with my team.

As a shinobi, I'll do whatever it takes to get a subordinate in line.

Konohamaru, I know how you must feel, but still, I can't let you handle - This

mission is one where no one can know that you're a shinobi from the Hidden

And if this mission were to fail, the peace in the village could be disrupted.

So now that you know all that, do you still want to go?

Absolutely.

Hmm. I understand.

Well, okay then. I'm going to leave it up to you.

Yes, sir.

Thank you very much.

I'll start heading to the Hidden Stone immediately.

There doesn't seem to be any extra security.

You're right.

And they appear to be doing pretty well, even though their land seems barren.

We should be able to get in pretty easily, right? No way. I mean, it's not

though they're just gonna let total strangers in, you know what I mean?

Then what are we gonna do?

What are those?

I'd say, but most likely, those are the sewer and water mains for the village.

Which means...

They connect to the village above.

Why does this have to be so hard?

We're looking good.

I guess I'd better go out to look for some food.

Oh, that's right. I wonder if I'm supposed to be feeding the Okta as well.

Hey, hold on!

The Okta!

Where'd it go?

Ah, there you are. Don't scare me like that.

What are you doing here?

You won't be able to play with that guy anymore.

Okay, all done.

All right, then.

Oh,

that's what we call a grave. It's a place where we can leave it to rest in

peace.

Come on. Let's go back, Octa.

Hey there!

Come check out our goods!

Lots of new arrivals and limited edition gear!

We're in. And easier than expected.

It seems the security that they have here isn't as tight as what we have back

the Hidden Leaf.

At least we know one thing for sure now.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

That guy we met.

The one who calls himself Kokuyo is no ordinary shinobi.

What do you mean by that?

Well, just think about it.

He took down a lot of shinobi from the Leaf Village.

But despite that, everything here looks completely normal.

And that could only mean one thing.

They were on a top -secret mission.

Or maybe... They're an illicit organization with no real connection to

Hidden Stone Village.

So what do we do then?

Listen, could you at least try thinking on your own for once?

It doesn't matter.

Huh? Right now, our only lead is Old Man Onuki.

But we don't even have any idea of where he might live, so how are we gonna find

him? Regardless, we just need to get whatever information we can.

What's wrong?

Did you come up with an awesome plan?

No, I'm completely starving.

Listen, this is... I can't help it. Do you know how many days it's been since

I've had a decent meal?

Is that a stomach growling?

Who are those kids?

This is not good. And it won't stop.

Get out of here!

Hey, stop.

What'll we do if people get suspicious?

Like I said before, I can't help it. Believe me, I'd stop it if I could.

We should have left Cho -Cho behind, too.

So a bunch of kids, huh?

Hey, this is the place, isn't it?

Oh, yeah, this is it. The place we were looking for.

Hey, Cho -Cho, look, we're here. There's food.

Food?

Excuse me, sir.

Could we get a table for four, please?

She's been so eager to finally come and eat here that she's been acting like

this the whole way over.

Well, come on in.

Hey, look.

That's old man Onoki right there, isn't it? You're right.

What'll you have?

Let's see here.

I think I'll have the rocky hamburger and the rocky fried rice and the rocky

ramen, too. Hey, how come all of the dishes here start with the word rocky?

You know, I get the feeling you kids aren't from around here, are you?

We heard how wonderful the food is here, so we came from afar to find out.

Oh, yeah?

That's right. This place is well -known back in our village. So we made a

special trip to come here, you know? This place is really that well -known,

Of course!

Well, then, I better do my best to make you guys happy.

Wow, that was delicious.

Okay, now what'll it be for dessert?

You're seriously gonna eat more?

All right, we've mostly had our fill. So now how do we go about finding this

Onoki guy?

Well, he's the former Tsuchikage, so maybe we should try the Tsuchikage's

office. That's risky. One mistake, and we could end up like this.

We really don't know where old man Onoki could be.

Here you go. One rocky ice cream.

Huh? But we didn't order that. She liked the food so much that, well, I just

thought, have some on the house. Wow, thanks.

You're just the best, Gramps. I hope it's okay to ask, but you kids know

Lord Onoki?

Huh? Well, yeah, of course we do.

Onoki the Fence -Sitter is a famous hero in the Shinobi world from the Fourth

Great Ninja War.

Yeah, that's right.

I'm impressed that a young 'un knows so much about him.

Most kids these days don't have any idea about Lord Onoki and how great he is.

But I... I have the utmost respect for Lord Onoki, who, despite his age, fought

so hard to protect all of us during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Can't believe that old man did that.

We owe Lord Onoki for the peace we are currently enjoying.

I think these young 'uns today ought to be more grateful to him for all that

he's done for us. He sounds just as incredible as we imagined.

Oh -ho!

So you get it, too.

All right, then. For that, you get to have another rocky ice cream on the

Oh, yeah, that reminds me. No one's seen Lord Onuki around much recently. I

wonder where he could be.

If I'm not mistaken, ever since he retired, he hardly ever leaves his home.

There's an old ailment of his got worse.

Oh, really?

Is that so?

And his house is somewhere down on the south side, isn't that right?

What are you talking about?

I can tell you right where he lives.

Now we know exactly where to find him.

Yeah, so let's head over there right away. You can thank me anytime you want.

What? Thank you?

Yeah, it's all thanks to my stomach that we figured out where we can find him.

Huh? Seriously? All you did was eat some food.

You were eating too, you know, Boruto.

Hey, Akta.

Come on.

How many times do I have to tell you to stay inside?

You don't really seem to like being called by the name the enemy gave you.

Okay, then.

I'll come up with a name for you.

But you gotta do as I tell you.

Okay,

I think that's good enough.

So which one do you like?

Your fate is entirely in your own hands right now.

Dorobozu?

Hedorokamen?

No?

Iwachi?

Akkun?

Huh? That's the one you like?

Well then, since you decided and picked all on your own, from here on out,

you'll be Akkun.

He sure is a strange one, though.

I thought he was an enemy because of how he came at us, but... Hey!

Don't step on me! Come on!

So this is where the old man lives.

Stop there!

Good, not good.

Aha, you must be Boruto, right?

It's just as the Hokage relayed to us.

What?

I don't get it. What are you talking about?

The Hokage called her to let us know that you guys might be coming here to

land of Earth.

Soon after, Kuro Tsuchi just vanished into thin air.

Tsuchikage did? But wait.

Wouldn't the Tsuchikage's disappearance have caused chaos and panic throughout

the village?

The cover story is that she's gone away on a recon mission.

Although, Kuro Tsuchi has never gone away without telling me first, and I

she did this time either. I was walking through the street, trying to figure out

what to do when I heard something.

I was caught completely by surprise when I discovered that you were already here

inside the village.

We're sorry.

We should have asked permission first.

It's fine.

Thanks to you, I have some useful intel.

Kokuyo and Sekie.

I'm absolutely certain of it. Those two have something to do with what's going

on here.

Akatsuchi, I came all the way to the stone because I thought that old man

could help us out.

And as we speak, my friend could be in seriously big trouble.

So please.

Will you take us to see old man Onoki?

Boruto.

You're right, Boruto.

I, too, think it would be best if we were to go and seek out Lord Onoki's

in this matter.

And besides, I think that he'd be overjoyed to see someone that he's

come to visit him.

Akatsuchi!

Is Lord Onoki here right now?

Sorry, but I'm afraid that he's not.

I think that he might be down in the old part of town.

The old part of town?

It isn't very far from here. I could take you guys there right now.

Lord Onoki!

Akatsuchi? I thought that I might find you here.

What's up?

Did you come to check on me to see if I'm all right?

Well, yes, that too, but I brought some guests.

Wait, it's you.

Hey, old man.

But what are you doing here in the stone?

We came here to ask you for your help.

My help?

We're out of our depth by ourselves, so we need you.

And besides...

I do remember you saying we could come any time.

Oh, yes.

I did say that. I can't deny it.

I suppose that I just never thought you'd actually come such a long way.

I know. And we had a super hard time getting here, too.

Yes, I bet you did.

But just as I'd expect of Naruto's son, you nonetheless made it all the way

here.

And Sarada's here, too. It's great to see you once again.

Yes.

You must all be tired.

You're welcome to come stay at my residence and rest.

Akatsuchi, treat them as my important guests.

Sorry, but we don't have time to relax, old man.

Do you remember Mitsuki?

He left the Leaf Village and joined up with some stone shinobi.

And we've all come here to bring him back to the Leaf.

Mitsuki is somewhere in the land of Earth.

That's why we came to see you and ask for your help, old man.

I don't think I'll be able to help you with any of that.

Sorry, but I just can't.

What?

You've got to be kidding me. Look, anything you can tell us will help out.

Akatsuchi, I'll be fine here all by myself for a while.

Please see these young people back to the leaf personally.

But what made you change your mind? You just said they were important guests.

Yeah, that's right.

What's going on?

Yes, I'd like to know that, too.

Something strange has definitely been happening here in the village.

Please, sir, I'd really like you to help Boruto.

No, I won't. All of them need to go back home to the leaf.

Why, old man? Tell me!

What the?

What are these

guys doing here?

Akatsuchi, they're really dangerous.

Let's protect the old man.

You got it.

What?

Who are you?

He's behind you!

Not my dearest father.

The test subject is now ready.

We're merely awaiting your orders.

Old man Onoki?

It can't be.

Thank you for

watching!

I love

you.

I

don't

know.

I'm doing this for your sake. I'm doing all of this for the sake of peace.

What does all this have to do with Mitsuki? Why'd you take him away from

Just give him back!

I'm sorry, but doing that isn't possible.

Next time on Boruto, Naruto Next Generation.

Onuki's justice.

You see, Mitsuki's cooperation will be essential if we're going to make the

work.
