The Summoning Jutsu is a blood contract with a beast,
where the user can instantly summon said beast to appear.
Even if where the beast resides cannot be determined,
it definitely exists in the same world as ours.
However, this one…
Damn it…
is not from this world.
It resides in a different world.
In other words, it's summoned in a unique way.
That is Nue.
Is that why we can't sense its presence?
Right now, there's no way to intervene.
I'm at a complete loss…
Maybe the jutsu caster is nearby?
I put a rush on investigations, but so far…
So, no one's nearby?!
Kakashi Sensei?
If the jutsu caster is also in another world…
We won't be able to track their presence.
A bomb that can be sent anywhere without detection…
Danzo Shimura…
What a troublesome thing he left us.
"The Path That Boruto Can See"
No luck.
He's nowhere to be found.
I can't believe he hasn't shown up during all this chaos.
Where the hell did Boruto go anyway?
Maybe…
this is connected to The Ghost incidents?
Huh?!
No way, you don't think Boruto's inside there?
I don't know.
But even the Class Rep is missing.
Maybe something really terrible is happening…
I'm gonna go search some more.
Hey, search where—?!
What's that?
Where is this?
Class Rep!
That's…
the thing I kept seeing.
It was connected to this place?
You! You finally showed yourself!
Where'd you put the Class Rep?!
Fine.
Take my chakra.
Did you really eat her?!
– Here we go. – All right!
I'm not gonna lose.
I'm avenging the Class Rep!
What's that?!
Why are you standing there all dazed?
Mitsuki!
How can you talk about revenge
when the Class Rep's not even dead?
Because that thing's following her orders.
Which means she's still alive.
Are you still going to defend her?
Are you still going after her?
First, we have to do something about him.
Although it's much smaller
than when it first appeared in the village,
if we get hit with that, we're in big trouble.
Mitsuki!
Can you stall him?
I can try.
Wind Style: Breakthrough!
I'm counting on ya!
– All right! – All right!
Mitsuki!
Not good!
How did it go?
Oh. In any event your eye is amazing.
You can even see where he's vulnerable.
I'll finish this…
Snake Lightning.
I won't let you kill Nue!
This child is the ultimate weapon I raised for the sake of revenge.
Class Rep!
I'll ask just to make sure…
But there's no way that you'll
come back with us willingly, is there?
Come on, Class Rep.
Let's go back.
How can you be so easygoing about this?
I attacked the Hidden Leaf Village.
To me, this is war.
You mean your parent's war.
No, it's my war too!
I was taught to fulfill Father’s long-cherished hope.
During the chaos of war,
my father served tirelessly for the Hidden Leaf,
but when the Great War ended, he was treated like a criminal
just because he was from the Foundation.
All that's got nothing to do with you now, Class Rep!
Me?
Yes, perhaps it doesn't.
After all, Sumire Kakei never existed from the beginning!
For as long as I can remember, I've lived in hiding,
and always kept to myself.
The only moment of tranquility I knew of,
was when my mother would comb my hair.
But she fell ill from all the fear and anxiety, and died.
Filled with bitterness,
my father raised me as a tool to wreak vengeance on the village.
I can't even remember my mother's voice anymore.
The Hidden Leaf understood nothing, and supported a cowardly system.
On top of that, they rejected our very existence.
Sumire, this is one of the Hidden Jutsu
that Lord Danzo experimented with.
You will enter into a contract with Nue
and become the beacon of revolution.
The realization of my long-cherished wish is near…
Father raised me to avenge him… as his weapon.
Watch out!
Wind Style: Wind Scythe!
You can't have Nue!
Oh, I don't need him anymore!
Water Style: Suireiha!
Actually, it's you I want.
What's valuable is the Gozu Tennou on your back.
I don't care if you're a corpse.
Stop!
Boruto!
I said…stop.
What're you doing to your classmate?!
Classmate?
The Class Rep fooled us all just to gather intel.
I refuse to believe that.
Namida and the others told me how hard you tried to save them.
On top of that,
when I returned to school two weeks after my suspension…
or when all the girls and boys in class got into a fight…
…you were always worried.
Your face is so easy to read.
I just can't believe that you were faking all of that.
And that's reason enough to trust the Class Rep?
Yeah!
It's because she's my classmate!
Seriously,
you always end up at an answer that I wouldn't even consider.
To trust people when there's no basis for it…is so stupid, huh?
What?
But…
When I went to check her out at the hospital,
the Class Rep said she wanted this "to be over quickly."
She seemed serious about that.
It's the same thing that I saw before…
The Ghost is fading.
I finally figured out
why the Ghost possesses only those who are burdened with troubles.
It's because the Class Rep herself
has harbored her troubles for so long.
It was easier to latch onto those with similar mindsets.
And when something affects their heart in a big way,
The Ghost disappears.
You can't fool me, Class Rep.
No, you're wrong…
I'm a weapon to avenge my father!
Nue!
I knew it, it revived…
This is an order!
Extract all of…
…my chakra…
…then…
…blow yourself up.
What's the matter, Nue?!
Hurry and extract it!
Nue?
What are you doing?
Why won't you obey my order?!
I wonder what's going on?
Nue, hey!
Maybe…
…that thing thinks you're his parent.
Class Rep, you may have raised that beast
to act exactly as you order him to…
But he thinks you're his parent.
And you're gonna turn him into a weapon?!
You've gone through life suffering
under the burden of your father's orders…
And you're gonna do the same thing to Nue?!
You can choose your own path.
All of us…
…Nue…
…and you too…
I…
Sumire!
The Gozu Tennou!
What's…this?
Probably…the Gozu Tennou has broken
and the chakra that was gathered is running wild.
Is that bad?
Very bad…
It's probably gonna cave-in at any minute.
Class Rep!
Let's get out of here!
What's the matter?! Hey!
– Boruto… – Class Rep!
Class Rep!
It was fun at the Academy…
Studying and training too…
I never had so much fun.
– Class Rep! – Class Rep…
Sumire…
This way of life will end with my generation.
I'm sure your life will be in another place.
I will always be praying for your happiness, okay?
Mother!
Boruto, why?
Like I'd ever leave behind a classmate!
Let's go back, Class Rep!
Boruto!
Mitsuki, this way!
To make what was impossible with ninjutsu or science possible.
This is Boruto's strength.
Over there!
Go!
Up ahead!
Nue!
Let's go.
Boruto!
Boruto! Class Rep!
Over here!
Boruto…
Boruto!
It was around here, right? The line of light that you found?
– Yeah. – Oh!
Isn't this Mitsuki's snake?
So, they're here, after all?!
Boruto!
Boruto?!
Boruto!
Ugh!
– Boruto! – Oww…
Why did you fall out of the sky?!
Huh? Well… a lot of things happened…
You too, Class Rep?
Uh…well…
You kept calling for us. That's how we found our way out.
What does that mean?
Aw, never mind.
What are you all doing here at this hour?
Huh? Uh…
We were just looking for Boruto and the other two, Dad.
I walked a similar path like you.
Will you let me help you?
Class Rep…
What's going on?
I'm just going to go talk to him for a bit.
I see…
It's an incident brought about by ghosts from the past.
She will not be harmed.
Class Rep!
He's alive!
It's really faint…
But he's connected to your left hand!
Boruto… What happened anyway?
Well…
I'm just glad that we were able to return!
What does that mean?!
I'll tell you all about it sometime.
The main thing is… All's well that ends well.
Huh? It's already morning.
Should we go straight to school?
Morning?!
I went against my parent's wishes…
Oh no, I'm gonna get it!
Oh, it's the first train!
Anyway, I'm going back!
– Me too! – Hey, wait!
My dad's gathered files on Academies in other villages.
Is the Class Rep transferring?
I don't know,
but my dad was the person in charge of the investigation…
I guess returning to the Academy would be tough…
You haven't told Boruto about this, have you?
If he finds out,
something troublesome is gonna happen.
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
A New Path.
We should keep this quiet for now…
