There, I'm done!
The shadow I saw kinda looked like this!
Shino Sensei said he felt like he was being controlled during that time, right?
Yeah.
So, does that mean…
there's someone behind it pulling the strings?
But then it would be unusual for the person
being controlled to have a memory of that.
Besides, if you're going to manipulate someone
you would have a purpose, right?
A purpose?
But all we have now are just people going on a rampage.
That's why I'm wondering if it's some kind of illness.
But if that's the case...
The fact that you're the only one who can see it
doesn't make sense.
Damn it, we've wasted so much time,
thanks to Boruto and the others.
But maybe they had some kind of emergency.
Don't let them fool you.
I guarantee that all they wanted to do was get out of cleaning duty.
Who cares about those losers?
Let's go get something sweet to eat!
Sweets from all over the world are waiting for us!
Yay!
What's wrong, Miss Class Rep?
W-Well...
I thought I felt someone watching me.
No one's there.
O-Oh, sorry.
Who's there?
LOVE AND POTATO CHIPS
Isn't it obvious that I'm losing weight?
I guess…so?
She's been like this ever since.
What?!
Are you saying you're still being stalked?
We can feel someone watching, but we can't see them.
I've been so anxious, I haven't been able to eat properly.
Oh man!
Stalkers are sticky like natto and I really hate it!
They just won't leave me alone!
I'll get him for sure this time!
Is it another incident?
Nah. Not everything is related to each other, right?
POTATO CHIP FAIR
I hate it.
I can't believe I ran out of potato chips!
I thought you weren't "eating properly"?
Potato chips, potato chips!
MUGWORT AND SWEET RED BEAN PASTE
That's sweet!
Why on earth would you buy that?
Because even if it knows it sucks,
it's still trying to compete as a new product.
With no one buying it,
it's been ignored and shoved down to the corner of the shelf.
That's why I have to accept its challenge fair and square.
Ugh, that's sweet!
Y-Yeah, you're right.
You think he'll show up again today?
Sticky guys like that tend to show up in
deserted places like this.
You're here!
Partial Expansion Jutsu!
What was that scream?
That was nearby!
What's she—?
What's she doing to that timid-looking guy?!
Hey! Don't be so violent!
Huh?
So this is the guy you've been talking about?
That's right.
Hm? Come to think of it, you're...
You know him?
I'm pretty sure he's Magire from the class next door.
With so few handsome guys in the Academy,
I'd say he'd rank towards the top.
I can't believe he was really following you.
Boruto, don't tell me, he's…
Nah, I don't see anything.
I don't sense anything weird coming from him.
I see.
But that doesn't mean we can just leave him be.
Hey! Why would you do something like this?
Are you really Cho-Cho's stalker?
Why don't you say something?!
Silence, huh?
But seriously, following Cho-Cho?
You really have strange taste.
Oh, my!
I completely understand why you would want to follow me, but...
I'm sorry. You and I are like macarons and natto.
We're in totally different leagues—
You're wrong!
The person I was watching is…
Miss Sumire!
Oh no!
You mean, the Class Rep?
So that means, the one he likes is...?
What? Huh? Oh my...
Phew...man, I'm good.
My plan to extract information out of him was a total success.
You liar!
But in any case, you went a little too far.
B-But, what was I supposed to do?
I-I just wanted to breathe the same air as Miss Sumire!
Y-You're kidding.
O-Okay, so are we done here?
I'll just be on my way—.
We're not done here!
This may be your chance.
Huh?
You might as well tell her how you feel right now.
What?!
W-What are you saying?
If you tell her how you feel right now,
then I'll forgive you for what you did.
And maybe even…
What? You serious? You're gonna tell her?
I-I... I've liked you for the longest time!
P-Please go out with me!
He really did it!
I'm sorry!
And he got rejected!
W-What the hell!
I did it because you told me to!
I would've been better off staying hidden!
Well, I knew this would happen.
You did?
Y-You're so cruel.
Here... Have one of these. Cheer up.
You never know until you step up to the challenge, right?
So now, you'll know what to do next time.
Do you know what I'm trying to say?
What the hell? Are you messing with me?
Talk about rubbing salt into a wound.
If he doesn't get it then he's just a loser.
So sweet!
That'll be hard for him to swallow.
Come on, let's go.
Is he gonna be okay?
What happened to the guy from yesterday?
Don't ask me.
I hear you're popular with the guys, Miss Class Rep!
How do you know about that already?
Namida! What's wrong?
T-The blackboard…
SUMIRE, I'M ALWAYS WATCHING YOU.
Whose idea of a prank is this?
Everyone, keep working on your drawings.
W-What is going on?
It's him!
Boruto…apparently, you-know-who was absent today.
What?!
No one's seen him.
No way! My intuition's never wrong.
What's this?
SUMIRE, YOU LOOK CUTE TODAY.
SUMIRE, I LOVE YOU. I'M ALWAYS RIGHT BESIDE YOU.
SUMIRE, I LIKE YOU SUMIRE, I LIKE YOU SUMIRE, I LIKE YOU.
That guy's the only one who could have done this.
Yeah, that's for sure, but...
How did he do this?
Damn it, where is he?
Don't worry.
As long as we don't leave the Class Rep by herself,
everything will be fine.
W-What the—?!
He's not fooling around, is he?!
You okay?
Damn!
It's pretty solid.
It might be dangerous staying around here!
Let's go.
Hey! Wait, you guys!
NINJA TOOLS PREP ROOM
He can't find us here, right?
We ran super far, so I'm sure we'll be fine.
W-What is this?
I can't see anything!
I-I'm going to open it now.
This way, you two!
Huh, where?
Ouch!
Sarada! Cho-Cho!
No!
Hold on!
Miss Class Rep! What's wrong?
Denki!
Are you okay—?
We're finally alone together.
We finally made it out!
Denki! What happened?
Did that guy do this too?
He's out of control.
Hey, where's the Class Rep?
Sorry...
Class Rep?!
Stop! Don't come near me!
What don't you like about me, Sumire?
That's enough!
Are you okay, Class Rep?
I knew it was you!
Could you guys not bother us?
We were finally alone together.
That's—!
It's that shadow.
You said he didn't have anything yesterday!
I don't know but right now it's there.
He may start rampaging.
You damn natto guy! I'm gonna crush you!
Sumire... I'll get rid of these guys right away, okay?
Watch out!
Thank you, Sarada!
Hey you!
H-Hey… What are we gonna do?
We're gonna have to knock him out.
Hey!
We'll take you on.
Boruto...
All right.
What you'll do this time, Boruto?
Get away from the Class Rep!
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
Don't interfere with me and Sumire!
Disguise Jutsu…
He disappeared?!
I get it, he used this ninjutsu to write on the blackboard.
Sumire is the only one who can see me.
Whoa!
There's no way you guys can see me.
Where is he?
– Whoa! – Damn!
That's what happens when you jump in without a plan!
Boruto!
We should come up with a plan—
I never stood out in a crowd.
But...Sumire was different.
She came over and talked to someone like me!
Damn!
Whoa!
Hey, you!
Do you really think this is the way to the Class Rep's heart?
Hey! Be careful!
Sneaking around and doing stuff like this
won't make a lady notice you.
I picked these gross chips
because they sat on the shelves forever.
What? P-Potato chips?
But you've hidden yourself
and you're not even out on the shelf right now.
Even these potato chips are stepping up to the challenge,
but you've just completely removed yourself from the "chance-at-love-shelf!"
I did step up to the challenge! But it didn't work.
So, there's no reason to go back on the shelf!
Even up until now, no one's ever noticed me.
No, you're wrong.
They've noticed.
I don't think you've been able to hide…
that fact that you're a weak and pathetic man.
Who would talk to a guy like that?
T-Then what do I do?
Think about why you have your Disguise Jutsu.
Polish that skill and keep stepping up to the challenge,
and become a guy that people take notice of.
So you can become a strong and dependable man!
It's delicious!
TOASTED SOY FLOUR MUGWORT AND SWEET RED BEAN PASTE Right? You never know until you step up to the challenge, right?
Then you'll know what to do next time.
You're kinda handsome already,
so work on becoming an even better man and come back to me.
Back to Cho-Cho?
All right!
What do you mean, "all right"?
You almost got stabbed, you know.
Huh? Share a bag of potato chips and we all become friends.
That's just common sense.
It's disappearing...
What...have I done?
What the heck's going on?
Hey, Boruto.
We didn't have to knock him out for him to go back to normal?
Yeah, it disappeared.
Um...I'm really sorry!
N-No... It's okay!
I'm terribly sorry!
I'll never hide in front of Miss Sumire again.
Okay, okay!
You okay?
What's wrong with him?
Maybe we should take him to the nurse's office?
You're right.
Boruto.
Boruto! What's wrong?
Oh! No, it's nothing!
Come on, let's all go home.
Guess that's it for this time.
Why did he go back to normal?
I guess it means that even if you're mentally affected,
you can still go back to normal.
Come to think of it, that happened with Denki too.
But why did he suddenly become so gaunt?
It's just like when you suddenly lose chakra.
Chakra?
Yeah, but it's not like he used any substantial jutsu.
So...
You think chakra can sometimes manifest itself
into a giant monster or something?
A monster?
Wait, hang on!
I'm not sure if it's chakra or what,
but I saw a monster like this.
You saw something amazing.
A-Anyway, I've never heard of such a thing.
Do you think these incidents are related to chakra?
People are losing chakra?
A number of people have been taken to the hospital lately.
It's not clear if it's due to illness or if it's human-induced...
but we should keep an eye on this report.
Chakra's being targeted?
REPORT
I've arranged for an investigation with that possibility in mind as well.
So it seems like Boruto is able to see it, after all.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm pretty sure he said "a monster."
All right.
We'll continue our investigation.
But...
Why's Boruto the only one who can see it?
What's the matter? Did something happen?
Well, Boruto's been acting…
Oh! I've got the fate of the world on my shoulders!
The pearl-colored nightmare has revealed my destiny!
There's nothing that can escape the Byakugan,
the eye that unravels lies!
