LEAF NEWS THE MIDDLE SEA SECURITY ISSUE Regarding the state of affairs with The Land of Waves,
LEAF NEWS THE MIDDLE SEA SECURITY ISSUE our Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire, Lord Ikkyu Madoka, released this statement:
THE MIDDLE SEA SECURITY ISSUE "The risk they pose to the security of the middle seas cannot be overlooked,
cannot be overlooked, hence we will maintain a resolute posture."
What a disturbing subject…
It just means a lot of people still don't believe the war is over.
Exactly.
We're lucky things went so smoothly in our village. Right?
We have everyone to thank for that.
Yes, you're right.
FIRE
Everyone worked hard together to secure peace in Hidden Leaf Village.
That makes me very proud.
My only worry is that the current Hokage is you.
Iruka Sensei…
Because you always got into trouble as a kid.
Anyway, what's so urgent that the busy Lord Hokage
would come to the Academy personally?
Oh yeah, that's right.
SEVENTH HOKAGE
CLASS FIELD TRIP
Actually…
SEVENTH HOKAGE I've been in regular contact with the Land of Water,
SEVENTH HOKAGE and we're finally about to reach a settlement.
From this year, the Academy's field trips are gonna be fancier!
The Land of Water? And it's not for a mission?
Isn't it a good idea?
Is it?
Without a doubt,
it requires a bit of courage,
but maybe it's time we took a step forward—
I can't do it like Mitsuki can.
Was it like…this?
Boruto! What are you doing?
Well, everyone keeps saying you wear a wig, so…
Was that a Wind Style just now?
That's not part of the curriculum yet…
R-Right! That's what I wanted you to see!
I've been practicing and deepening my skills at formulating ninjutsu.
Don't skirt the question!
What are you doing, Boruto?
What are you doing here, Dad?!
I'm working, ya know!
Listen, if you're gonna pull some pranks,
do it with some more finesse!
Shut up!
I don't need you tellin' me that, Dad!
What did you say?!
What about it?!
These two…
The Turbulent Field Trip
What's up with that?
He tried to pull a prank on the principal yesterday…
So that's his punishment.
What an idiot.
LAND OF WATER FIELD TRIP It's the first time our academy is conducting a class field trip
LAND OF WATER FIELD TRIP outside of the village.
LAND OF WATER FIELD TRIP This is really a milestone.
Everyone must exercise extreme caution.
The Land of Water?
The ocean…fresh seafood… grilled right on the beach…
This means I have to buy a swimsuit!
The Land of Water… Hidden Mist Village.
Nothing good comes to mind, are we gonna be okay?
That's all in the past though, right?
Well, it's got nothing to do with us…
You will be representing our village.
Don't cause any trouble.
If something does happen,
consider the field trip cancelled immediately.
This means, no classes for a while, right?
Awesome!
Hey guys, a field trip isn't for fun.
Don't be such a downer!
You're such a buzzkill.
– Just listen, guys! – Boys are such idiots.
LAND OF WATER FIELD TRIP Okay, I'd like to select a student leader for this field trip.
Any volunteers?
What? No one?
Of course not.
Who would want to be responsible for this class of troublemakers?
Who'd volunteer for such a thankless job?
I hope I don't get picked!
Sensei!
I think Boruto Uzumaki would be good as our trip leader.
That's a great idea! I think he'd be perfect too, Sensei!
Boruto's cheerful and always at the center of everyone's attention.
He'd be perfect.
Agreed!
No objections here!
Agree!
Huh?! Huh?!
Since he always wants to take the lead for anything!
Is that right, you all?
So, this is what Boruto meant by being classmates?
B-But…
[Class Rep, help me!]
FIELD TRIP LEADER BORUTO UZUMAKI
I think our field trip leader wants to say something.
Hey guys! How did you get swayed so easily?!
You think you can decide this so irresponsibly?!
What about my opinion?! Respect what I want too!
Besides—!
We're counting on you, leader!
You guys decided on your own!
But I honestly think you're the best one for the job.
Seriously?
Uh-huh.
It's the best choice in order for the class to come together.
Th-Then I guess I have no choice!
You guys better listen to me then!
Okay!
Hey, you've gotten really good at handling Boruto.
See? You're messing around again.
Don't embarrass us like that when we're in another village.
What a drag.
Do you guys only think about messing around?
About that…
It sounds like the Hidden Mist Village is really rural.
Is there anything to do there?
Don't worry.
I don't know what it's like there, but I'll liven things up.
What's up with that confidence?
For better or worse, you made me the leader.
I wish I could see that determination of yours
during regular school hours.
Don't get too carried away.
That village used to be known as the "Blood Mist Village."
Huh?
There's nothing good about the place.
Iwabe… did something happen?
Nothing.
Anyway, if anything happens, I'll pulverize ‘em.
Just leave it to me.
See ya.
"If anything happens"? Are you kidding?
Weren't you listening to instructions?!
Sarada seems awfully excited.
Handkerchief, a change of clothes, school supplies…
Snacks…
Games, charger, shinobi card game…
Do you really need those things?
As long as I have these, I'll manage somehow.
I just hope your teacher doesn't scold you.
You're so lucky, Big Brother!
Right? I'll bring back lots of souvenirs for you.
That's a promise, okay?
I don't know how things are in the Land of Water.
Don't you dare do anything dangerous.
And…make sure follow all of your sensei's directions and—!
I know.
I'm going!
Have a great time!
Oh dear.
LIGHTLY SALTED CONSOMMÉ I have so much stuff, it's ridiculous.
CHOCOBAR I have so much stuff, it's ridiculous.
That's for sure!
CHOCOBAR Want one?
CHOCOBAR Th-Thank you!
Isn't it amazing?
What is?
Beyond this ocean are several other lands and many villages.
It's hard to imagine.
What? Why're you so sentimental?
I'm allowed to be sometimes, aren't I?
By the way…
Why'd you nominate Boruto as the leader for the field trip?
Yeah! It could've been anyone else, right?
So why?
Well, I thought he—
What about me?
Nothing!
Go away!
Why? I wanna look at the ocean from the deck too.
You're so laid back.
And you're too tense!
You've been so spirited lately.
Got a problem with that?
No, it's fine.
I'm not interested in becoming the Hokage.
You're the only one in the entire village
who can't see how great Lord Seventh is.
And I'm the only one who sees what a loser my dad is.
People say your dad was unbelievably strong.
Isn't that cooler?
We're not talking about him.
I want to become a shinobi like Lord Seventh.
Oh yeah?
If you're that determined to become a Hokage,
then you should take over as the field trip leader.
I nominated you to be the leader,
to prevent you from going off on your own and making trouble.
All so that we can have a fun trip.
That's so underhanded!
Is that befitting a woman who's gonna become the Hokage?
It's not funny!
– It's not funny, ya know! Hey, Sarada! – I am not gonna get involved with that.
FIVE ONE THREE TWO PHANTOM
THREE Here.
Ugh! So you had the card!
Damn it!
I don't have any red cards!
FIVE SIX
Yes!
I win.
Aw, damn it!
I couldn't use anything in my hand!
For a while, I thought I had a chance.
You lost big time, Boruto.
Shut up.
I want to win in one big sweep!
What's the point, though, if you don't have the hand?
Let's do one more round!
Fine by me!
Sure, and you'll end up losing again, Boruto.
Not this time!
– This is boring… – This is boring…
Nothing but mist.
And the scenery hasn't changed at all.
I wish we'd get there already.
These guys…
Mitsuki…
What's the matter, Boruto?
I was looking for the toilet.
This boat's so big, I got lost.
What about you?
Figured as much…
Oh yeah…
That Wind style "swoosh" of yours…
How do you do it?
You mean, the Wind Scythe?
Yeah, that one.
I tried it last time, and it didn't work.
Well, I wouldn't want it to be so easy to copy.
Oh yeah?
I think I almost got it…
Besides, you don't know about Chakra Natures yet…
Oh!
Field trip leader…
It's coming into view…
The Village Hidden in the Mist…
See? Amazing, huh?
Uh-huh…
I heard it was really rural…
It's even more modern than the Hidden Leaf Village.
Everyone, line up for roll call!
Stay together!
Our guide from the Hidden Mist will be coming shortly,
so behave yourselves.
Guide?
You think they're teachers from here?
Welcome to the Hidden Mist Village.
I'll be your guide from today, I'm Kagura Karatachi.
– Thank you for coming, Lord Kagura. – He's so different!
– Of course. – I know! I know!
I'm honored to be your guide.
Kagura Karatachi, is a close aide to the Mizukage.
He's not much older than you guys, you know.
– What?! – What?!
He's totally different from the boys in our class.
He seems pretty hot,
but I wonder about he's like on the inside?
He's kinda like…a sword.
I'm so happy to be able to welcome
the son of the legendary Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage…
…and his classmates.
C-Cut it out, all right?
My dad has got nothing to do with this.
I'm Boruto Uzumaki…
You can just call me Boruto, okay?
All right.
Then you must call me Kagura.
Yeah.
Nice to meet you, Kagura!
I'd heard stories, but this is amazing.
Sensei!
Could you please?
SHINOBI CARD GAME Whoa! This Shinobi Card Game isn't even on sale in Hidden Leaf Village!
Looks like it's a limited edition…
Yeah…
What should we do? Should we buy it?
If we split the cost, we could…
This port town is the hub of distribution and trade,
and we get goods from various lands.
And it's a bustling tourist destination.
Wow… The Hidden Mist Village is really something.
I'm glad you like our village.
We're very proud of it.
Oh…
Hey!
Are you a Kagemasa fan too, Kaguya?
Uh… Yes.
His movies are great, aren't they?
This is a super-limited item you can get only at theaters!
Name your price!
How much will you sell it for?
There it is…
The unpleasant true nature of a rich boy…
Why didn't say you liked Kagemasa earlier?
Hey!
The boys are monopolizing Kagura's attention!
I just hope their stupidity doesn't rub off on him.
Iwabe!
Aw man! Don't go disappearing on us!
C'mon, please? Iwabe…
Boruto, you're friends with Iwabe, right?
Go and look for him.
Denki, keep an eye on him.
– What?! – What?!
Where I go is my business, isn't it?
You can't just go somewhere. This isn't our village.
Still, it's pretty amazing.
It's almost overkill.
It's all a cover-up.
Remember, I told you?
This used to be a terrible village.
They covered up their worthless past with all these new buildings.
But that's all in the past, right?
This is supposed to be our field trip.
So let's enjoy ourselves!
Whoa…!
Boruto!
Oww…
Sorry about that.
C'mon, let's go.
Hey, wait up.
You're the one who bumped into him.
Huh? So what if I did?
Brats from the Hidden Leaf have no business nosing around our island.
What?!
You knew that we're from the Hidden Leaf Village?
Yeah…
I could tell instantly because of your gloomy faces.
Too bad, I thought this was a pretty cool village…
Huh?!
Let me teach you some manners…
…you brat!
Cut it out, Hassaku.
Leave these kids alone.
You're only embarrassing yourself.
Fine, Shizuma.
So fast!
Boruto Uzumaki…
The Hokage's son…huh?
You have nice eyes.
Huh? R-Really?
Yeah.
And you stood up to Hassaku.
You've got guts.
You gotta be like that, to be a ninja.
Let's go, Hassaku.
Sorry about this.
Enjoy yourself… in the Blood Mist Village.
Mist?
The ones from earlier, and Kagura…
We don't see guys like them in the Leaf.
Kagura Karatachi…
Seems he's a close aide to the Sixth Mizukage.
He's been chosen as a successor
for the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
He seems like a man who has great prospects for the future.
He's considerate towards others and he's competent!
Next time on Boruto Naruto Next Generations:
"The Mizukage's Successor."
Huh? I'm more awesome!
THE MIZUKAGE'S SUCCESSOR
