Original subtitles

It's true!

I really was attacked!

I understand,\Nbut that's barely a scratch…

You didn't see who attacked you?

He came at me so suddenly,\Nso I didn't…

But I'm positive that he was\Nwearing a prisoner uniform!

So, the culprit is a prisoner…

That makes it even more\Nunbelievable.

KEY\N\NYou can't enter the medical ward\Nwithout this wooden tag.

Naturally, prisoners can't just\Nwalk in.

But—!

Maybe one of the guys who work here\Nlost his wooden tag?

It's unthinkable,\Nbut I'll check, just in case.

Hey, you!

Why are you still\Nhanging around here?!

Get back to your cell!

Boruto!

It can't be helped.

I'll keep an eye on him.

I'm counting on you, Doctor!

Don't look so sad.

I swear I'm gonna protect you!

A Test of Will Power\N \N \N

How was the medical ward?

Was the air conditioner on\Nfull blast?

You were right,\Nit was like paradise!

Were you able to have\N"nice dreams" over there?

Yeah! It was perfect!

But I got interrupted,\Nand it turned into a "nightmare."

Dreams aren't worth anything\Nin this place.

Is Kokuri okay now?

Yeah, there's someone\Nwatching over him.

Where was that person\Nwhen Kokuri was attacked?

He was with me,

so there's no need to worry.

But if the medical ward is\Nunsafe too,

there's no telling\Nwhen he'll be attacked again.

This cell has room\Nfor one more inmate.

We have to do something…

to get Kokuri in here with us.

Then we can protect him\Nall the time.

We have to figure out a way,\Nor else…

It's Mitsuki's—!

Sarada, the situation has\Nbecome critical.

Kokuri was attacked.

There's something we'd like you to\Nrequest from Lord Mujo.

The cell Kokuri will be assigned to?

Yes. After his injury heals,

I'm thinking of putting him together\Nwith Boruto and the others.

Although it's coming from you,\NLord Mujo,

I cannot agree to this proposal.

Why is that?

Isn't there an empty bed\Nin that cell?

It's not empty.

It's being reserved for the next\Nnew prisoner that comes in.

And as you know,\Nnew ones keep coming in.

I see.

But Kokuri is just getting\Nout of the medical ward.

Wouldn't it be easier if he was\Nplaced in an area closer

to the guards\Nwhere they can see him?

Prisoners return to\Ntheir original cells

when they leave the medical ward.\NThat's the rule.

If we make an exception now,

other prisoners will start\Nmaking their own demands.

So, Kokuri will be sent back to\Nhis previously assigned cell.

I do hope you will\Nback me up on this.

Uh, yes.

Thank you.

We're done.

You may go.

Yes, sir!

Lord Mujo!

I'm sorry I couldn't help you.

I just can't make arbitrary decisions\Nregarding the prison

without a valid reason.

Please understand.

Of course, we're grateful for\Nyour help.

We'll handle the rest ourselves.

That bastard!

He's just a figurehead of the clan!

Does he know who actually runs\Nthings in this castle?!

You're absolutely correct!

Is this the one?

Benga has authority over the prison,\Nnot Lord Mujo.

Benga is planning to return Kokuri\Nto his original cell.

I'll check around relevant places\Nand look for any weak spots

that Benga might have.

Looks like this is turning into\Na bad situation.

At this rate, Kokuri will…

There has to be something here.

Mr. Benga, there you are!

What is it, Haie?!

I'm very sorry,\Nbut he just wouldn't listen.

Huh?!

You've got guts demanding to\Nsee me, Tsukiyo.

Very good of you to come here.

Depending on the reason, this could\Nhave a very painful outcome for you.

Lady Luck is very fickle.

If you make a loud noise,\Nshe runs away.

But this is the sound\Nthat brings her back.

You!

How did you get those?

Those who give gifts profit as much as\Nthose who receive them,

by way of luck.

Quit being so vague!

What do you want?

Can you make Kokuri disappear?

That guy was born under\Nan unlucky star.

That's just a down payment.

I'll forget we ever had\Nthis conversation.

How unfortunate.

Damn it!

How can anyone work in such filth?!

All I'm finding is trash!

Must be my imagination

Time for afternoon exercise!

Everyone, get moving!

After being cooped up like this,\Nmy body's so stiff.

Everyone, re…res…

Respects you?

Yeah, yeah…

What?! Whoa!

What are you doing?

We get to go outside after\Nall this time, Uncle Kamata!

Shut up!

I'm only 16!

Sarada didn't contact us\Nafter that, did she?

We can't just rely on Sarada.

There are so many people here.\NIf we keep asking, there's got to be

someone who can tell us\NBenga's handicap.

Should we split up?

Okay, I'll go that way.

I see.

There's something I'd like to ask you.

Do it! Yeah!

That's the way!

It's such a clear day.\NDon't you want to walk around?

Why you—!

Are you protecting the flowers?

I got nothing.

No matter who I ask, no one knows\Na thing about Benga's weaknesses.

I had no luck either.

Benga's weakness?

Why would you want to know\Na thing like that?

He punched me once,\Nand I wanna get back at him!

Well, no one here will have anything\Nnice to say about that guy.

All right! I'll help you.

Don't tell me you know something\Nabout Benga?!

I don't.

But I have an idea who does.

The leader of the prison?

Yeah… In other words, the prison boss.

Excluding the prison guards,\Nhe's the big guy.

Doragu carries more weight around here\Nthan anyone else.

Doragu's the guy, huh?

But why do we have to go to him\Nto find out about Benga's weak spot?

Where there's power,\Nthere's information.

There's practically nothing about\Nthis castle that Doragu doesn't know.

We're here.

So which one's Doragu?

Hey, what's this?

We've got some nice little visitors.

So, that's him?

Hey, be respectful!

What do you want?

You came here because there's\Nsomething you wanna know, right?

Tell me what Benga's weakness is.

I owe him some payback.

Benga's weakness?

You're funny, kid!

I was just thinking I'm sick of\Nthat guy too.

Then—!

However, around here information\Nis gold.

Even if you're just a kid,\NI can't give it to you for free.

What do I have to do?

Let's see…

Maybe we should have a test of\Nyour willpower.

A test of willpower?

See that lighthouse?

The light that shines from it\Nevery night is so irritating,

I can't sleep a wink.

So…

I want you to bring me the light bulb.

What? Is that all?

You idiot!

A number of guys tried it before—!

Hey!

The kid's willing to try.

Don't try and discourage him.

Okay…

What's your answer, kid?

You gonna do it, or not?

I'll do it, of course!

Security's pretty tight.

The lighthouse is surrounded by\Na steel wire with tags

attached to it.

If you don't want to die,\Ncross over from this roof.

Don't use ninjutsu.

Of they'll find out Celestial Prison\Nhasn't been used on us.

Yeah.

The clouds look ominous.

When the rain gets heavy,\Nthe guards will go inside.

So, get started.

But it's a different story\Nif you're scared.

I'll finish this in a snap.

The young ones sure have spirit.

Hey, doesn't anyone wanna bet\Nthat the kid makes it?

Otherwise, there's no wager!

Hey, let me in on this!

Huh?!

That's a big bet you're making!

No, I made a mistake!

You already placed your bet.

No excuses!

B-But that's—!

The guards are gonna\Nnotice him soon.

Oh?

This is gonna be a little difficult.

That was close!

Damn it.

This would be a piece of cake\Nif I could use ninjutsu!

He did it!

What's the pay out?!\NWhat are the odds?!

Not bad at all.

Done and done!

Congratulations, kid.

And now, you'll be a loser too.

Don't move!

Who's the idiot this time?!

Damn it, Doragu!

He tricked me!

Did you know this would happen?!

Information is gold here.

Didn't I say that already?

This isn't fair!

It's a scam!

Do not resist!

Put the bulb down and\Nplace your hands above your head!

That kid's gonna be in here\Nfor life now.

I have to make an opening!

If I don't, I'll—!

Stand up now and face this way\Nwith your hands up!

Guess I have no choice at this point.

This is a waste of time.\NGet rid of him.

But we haven't confirmed who it is!

You can confirm later…\Nwith his corpse.

– Yes, sir!\N– Yes, sir!

What the hell—?!

He's gone!

Y-You idiot!

This fulfills my end of\Nour deal, right?

Damn it!

How did you do that earlier?

I can't tell you!

Information is gold here, right?

Anyway, you have a promise to keep.

Tell me Benga's weakness.

You're a funny guy.

Quit complaining and get inside.

You! Get in line!

Hey, can you keep this safe for me,\Nlike usual?

I'll be taking a commission.

Yeah, in that case…

Can you mail this for me?

You just don't know when to quit,\Ndo you?

Why did you call me here?

We found this.

Th-That's—?!

It contains records of secret deals\Nwith the prisoners.

It's in your handwriting, Benga!

N-No, this is—!

I'm sure it's some kind of—!

You were using bribes to determine

which cell a prisoner was to be\Nassigned to…

No wonder you were against moving\NKokuri to another cell.

Just a minute, Lord Mujo!

Please! Please give me\Nanother chance!

I cannot trust your judgement.

When Kokuri heals,

I'm having him sent to the cell\Nwith Boruto and the others.

Boruto!

That's a relief for now.

Yeah…

But there's still the problem of\Nwho attacked Kokuri.

We have no clues except that\Nit was an inmate.

Chief Warden, I'm sorry but…

Do you have a minute?

What is it, Doctor?

I'm a very busy, you know.

The wooden tag is missing?!

Forgive me!

I've been searching for it, but…

When did you realize it?!

I'm sure I had it three days ago!

Why didn't you report this sooner?!

Did you think about what might happen\Nif a prisoner got ahold of it?!

Did something happen?

It looks pretty serious.

Hey, guard, what's all this racket?

It seems a medical ward employee's\Nwooden tag is missing.

From about three days ago.

So, we're gonna sweep the castle\Nfrom top to bottom.

What a problem…

Hey…

This isn't gonna turn into\Na lock-down, is it?

You've gotta be kidding!

Boruto…

What's up?

The wooden tag went missing\Nthree days ago.

Soon after, Kokuri was attacked\Nby a man in an inmate's uniform.

This isn't a coincidence.

This means the guy who attacked\NKokuri could have stolen

the wooden tag, huh?

But for a prisoner to find the chance\Nto steal a medical ward employee's

wooden tag is next to impossible.

Three days ago, a medical ward\Nemployee came here

when you collapsed, right?

Thinking back…

All the cell doors were shut,

and every prisoner was\Ninside their cells.

The door of this cell…

was the only one open.

So, in other words,

The perp…

…is here, right?

The one who attacked Kokuri,\Nand the one who stole the wooden tag,

is someone inside of this cell.

Benga said that all the cellmates of\Nthe perp who stole the wooden tag

will be sent to solitary.

If that happens, we'll be separated\Nfrom Kokuri again.

We have to do something to find\Nthe culprit ourselves!
