The comet has entered the constellation.
The destiny of the stars, the time for the harvest is near.
And just as I thought, the key to it all…is him.
MOVIE THEATER SCREENING IN PROGRESS
THE DREAM'S REVELATION
No one's gonna save you.
It's okay. I'll save you, no matter what.
Just trust me!
Shut up, you damn kid!
The wind carries the cries of the weak.
My eye throbs, telling me to protect the powerless.
You! Who the hell are you?
The ninja... Evil Jammer Kagemasa.
Did you say Kagemasa?!
Liar! Kagemasa is dead!
What if I tell you,
that was part of my evil eye's power?
What?!
Hey, kid...
If you want someone to believe in what you're trying to do,
there's only one thing you must do...
Huh? What's that?
Kill them!
Th-The...evil eye...?!
Don't just say it, prove it by your actions!
My eye binds everything,
and destroys the evil it sees.
However,
it's also a benevolent eye that spares hostages.
Ninja Kagemasa...
People call him a hero.
But he lives in the shadows of history,
and continues to fight…
while no one knows his true identity!
Wasn't Kagemasa amazing?
You can learn a thing or two from his taijutsu.
Huh? You didn't think it was kinda bad?
Really?
What didn't you like about it, Boruto?
Mainly, Kagemasa himself.
It doesn't matter if people trust you or not.
What can a weak guy like that do anyway?
Everything seemed too convenient.
Yeah right, but you couldn't take your eyes off of him…
No, I agree!
A ninja's life isn't that easy.
For example, Lord Hokage—!
You only know about Dad's good side.
Oh yeah, so is Lord Hokage cool like that?
Huh?
I mean, Lord Hokage was a hero during the Great Ninja War!
He must really be together when he's at home.
Nope, Dad isn't like that at all.
He oversleeps,
he puts on his shoes the wrong way…
He's totally different.
What?!
The other day…
Mom told me to take him a change of clothes...
Oh, it's you, Boruto.
You can leave it there.
He's really uncool.
Lord Hokage is?
That's usually how it is.
Things just don't work out if the hero's cool in real life.
Aww man…
I get where Iwabe's coming from about cool ninja,
but in real life, that's tough.
If the enemy would just appear before us,
like the movies, it'd be easy.
Well, we just have to hang in there, right?
Until we find proof, we can't say anything careless.
And besides, you're the only one who can see the shadow.
Seems like the damage is spreading.
Yeah, it's starting to occur outside the Academy.
You think it's okay with just us being involved?
Who knows.
If that's how you feel, ask Lord Hokage.
I can't, ya know!
I can't leave it to Dad and the others.
Then fine.
But do you have any idea of how to find that shadow?
I'm glad to help but, just figure out what we need to do.
See ya!
KAGEMASA
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Three heads are better than one!
Let's try to figure out what's happened up until today.
First, there was the incident with Denki.
The morning of the entrance ceremony,
I saw a shadow behind Denki.
I followed him.
Then…
The train lost control…
That was a close call.
You're too rough on your clones!
I couldn't help it!
There wasn't any other way!
With Denki, the shadow disappeared just
after talking things through with him, right?
That's right…
With Metal, you had to knock him out.
It was the same with the raging delinquent, and the repairman!
But that guy Magire, was the same as Denki.
So, does that mean they were different from Metal?
No, they got weird after the shadow possessed them too.
Maybe knocking them out,
or some impact equivalent to that is effective.
In any case,
it's like the shadow has some influence over their emotions.
Plus, judging by the way even Shino Sensei became possessed,
I guess it doesn't matter if someone is skilled or not.
I'm just glad Mitsuki was around that time!
Do you think that shadow is chakra?
I dunno.
But for a second,
didn't you see something that looked like a monster?
Yeah, and I'm sure chakra doesn't do stuff like that.
But after the shadow disappears, so does the chakra.
Uhh…
Uh-huh.
So why am I the only one who can see it?!
Maybe it's a hallucination?
There's no way I'd be hallucinating, ya know!
Well, there's no proof.
I see what you're saying…
especially when it was so clear and visible.
Aw man, this is so confusing!
Anyway, we can't solve this by ourselves.
Maybe we should talk to Dad?
At this point in time? That's so uncool!
Well, we are at this point in time…
I don't want to leave it all to Dad and the Sensei.
This applies to Denki and everyone,
but I can't forgive someone who would do that to them.
That's true…
But if I say something to Dad and the others,
they're gonna tell us kids to stay out of it.
I don't want that!
I want to make the guy who did this to my friends pay,
with my own hands!
That's for sure!
Then it's all the more reason why we have to find out
why we can see something like that.
Your mom's a princess from the Hyuga Clan, right?
– Thank you! – Maybe that thing awakened.
You mean, the Byakugan?
The Byakugan…
One of the three great Visual Jutsu.
Passed down only through the Hyuga Clan,
known as the strongest among the Hidden Leaf…
The eye that sees through all.
How long have you been there?!
All this time.
Judging by your look, I guess you suspected that.
Yeah, at first…
So why don't you just ask about the Byakugan?
HYUGA
You don't want to?
Kinda…
But you don't know where to start, right?
Ultimately, I don't think this will go anywhere
until you learn more about the Byakugan.
Yeah…
I guess I'll ask.
But…
If this eye isn't the Byakugan…
and I'm wrong about it…
Is this eye really the Byakugan?
Does this eye really have any power?
Hey…
Where am I?
I'm talking to you through your dream.
A dream?
Who are you?
Boruto Uzumaki…
Your eye is the star of hope…
against destruction that will eventually come to pass.
Huh?!
The power of hope slumbers deep within you.
Don't tell me…in this eye?!
With that eye, you will…
shoulder the fate of this world.
Your eye will probably guide you…
to the light which will dispel darkness.
A dream?
No way!
Whoa! Is this for real?!
It is real!
I'm gonna shoulder the fate of this world!
Big Brother…
Oh, it's you, Himawari.
Yup…
A pearl-colored nightmare foretold my destiny.
Huh?
P-Pearl?
The stirring in the starry sky chased away the demons in my heart.
There is no one who can escape my Byakugan, the eye that unravels...
lies!
And that's it.
As for the rest, we're currently investigating
the places Shino visited and the people
he came into contact with before he stared acting strangely.
In any case…
there are people who suddenly started behaving oddly
near the vicinity of the Academy.
And all of them left signs
that something unnatural had occurred with their chakra.
And all this occurred with Boruto nearby?
As far as we can determine.
Who do you think is the target?
Who knows?
But at this point,
we can't find a motive for targeting Boruto.
So, it's not about targeting the Hokage's son, huh?
The manner of doing things seems way too indirect for that.
Besides, Boruto was just being nosy each time.
That's just so like him.
Anyway, I'll warn him.
Just don't let it become a drag, go easy on him.
I'll be careful.
Okay, let's continue—
Are you okay?!
Sorry.
You're working too hard.
Go home and rest before it becomes a drag.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Oh, Shikamaru, you walked with him again?
All right, I'm going.
Let your husband rest up.
Thanks for always taking care of him.
What's that?
Well, Boruto's been acting strange…
I shine brighter than the light that descends!
Darkness that is more dazzling than light…
That is, I will envelop the world…
with darkness that is nearly lethal and intoxicating.
Infinitely clever and elegant… that is my truth.
Forgive me, Goddess of Destiny.
My eye will steal away
– your divine protection – Daddy…
– faster than a runaway train. – Big Brother's acting weird.
Seems that way.
The time is now…
for genesis!
Oh…
Dad!
I awakened an awesome power.
An awesome power? You know…
Wait a minute, Boruto!
You didn't steal
the Scroll of Sealing or something like that, did you?
The Scroll of Sealing? What's that?
A scroll that contains Forbidden Ninjutsu.
Naturally, since they're forbidden,
they're all very dangerous jutsu.
It's the first time I've heard of it.
And besides, what's it got to do with me?
Well, there was someone like that in the past…
who wanted power quickly and stole the Scroll of Sealing.
That's horrible!
Don't lump me with a guy like that!
Y-You're right!
That guy's totally inexcusable!
S-Sorry.
Forget what I said just now.
So? What's this "awesome power" you discovered?
The Byakugan.
What?
Ordinarily, the Byakugan requires intense training
before one can manifest it.
Oh, really?
Then I must really be a genius!
Impossible.
What is it, Dad?
Like what Shikamaru just said,
the Byakugan requires considerable training before you can use it.
And I know better than anyone,
that you haven't gone through that kind of training.
What?
Are you trying to say I'm lying?
No.
There are cases like Himawari
who've awakened it out of the blue.
So, we can't write it off just yet, but…
In other words, you don't trust me!
There has to be some basis for it, at least.
I can see it!
Boruto.
Boruto, it's useless to argue about it here.
You must go and talk to your grandfather.
I'll contact him.
Your grandfather will know if it's really the Byakugan or not.
I'll go to Grandpa's or anyone, anywhere!
He must be talking to him around now.
So anyway, I'm gonna talk to my Grandpa about it,
so just sit tight for some good news!
I'll get prove that my Byakugan is real,
and I'll make my dad eat his words.
With the Byakugan,
you can see the flow of chakra, right?
Yeah.
In battle, you can also tell how your enemy's going to move,
and I hear you can even see through walls.
It will be amazing if it's really the Byakugan.
Whoa! Will you quit doing that?
Anyway…I can't deal with this place…
HYUGA
What can't you deal with?
Oh, I'm so glad you're here, Boruto!
Grandpa!
Oh, Himawari!
It's me, your grandpa!
Grandpa…
Grandpa!
We're glad you're here!
Father…
It's been a while, Father and Hanabi.
You just saw how Father is…
There's no need to stand on formalities, Lord Hokage.
It's me! Your auntie!
Kenkenpa kenpa kenpa kenkenpa ♪
I'll say this again, I'm glad you're here.
This is in regard to the Byakugan, correct?
Grandpa… I think I've awakened my Byakugan, ya know!
Hmm…
First, let me explain.
The Byakugan is a Kekkei Genkai
passed down through our Hyuga Clan.
In other words, it is one of the special ninjutsu
that only those with Hyuga blood can inherit.
However, not every member of the Hyuga Clan can awaken it.
And not everyone who does, can master it.
The Byakugan is a shinobi jutsu.
Ordinarily, one cannot awaken it
without intense training and practice.
The Byakugan requires considerable training
before you can use it.
And I know better than anyone,
that you haven't gone through that kind of training.
When you use your Byakugan, without a doubt,
you will become aware of this.
It will be obvious, not only to yourself,
but to those around you.
However...
right now, in this situation,
I can't tell if you truly have the power of the Byakugan.
Therefore, let's test it out.
Come out to the courtyard!
Huh?!
I personally shall be your opponent!
The Byakugan sees through any possible obstacle.
There's virtually no blind spots.
The Byakugan can also see the flow of chakra.
The flow of chakra?
If that's what I saw, then—!
Yes, it's a good eye.
You have to discipline your eye more!
Next time on Boruto Naruto Next Generations:
Proof of Oneself.
PROOF OF ONESELF I'm gonna prove that this eye is special, ya know!
