I'm very sorry I was rough.
Please rest a while.
Ku, you…
There's no need for your concern.
Wait…
You are weakened, Master.
That's why your judgment is cloudy.
Please leave the rest to me.
Wait, I say.
Are you two okay?
I think so…
But I'm out of chakra, and I don't think I can move for a bit.
Yeah…true.
You think Sarada and Boruto are okay?
Yeah…
We just have to bet on them to take care of the rest.
Damn it!
I can't move!
Don't get too confident just because you took down Kakou.
I'm not weak like him.
A Piercing Heart
We're going to have some fun!
From now on, you are going to be my dolls.
I want anything a human possesses.
Because when I acquire it as my own,
I feel like I'm closer to being human.
But you know, what I really want…
is a human itself.
But you two aren't pretty at all.
So…
How does a death match between you two sound?
Boruto!
I'll make sure your eyes have no effect on him.
You will watch your friend die, covered in blood.
All right, let's begin!
This isn't like you, Sarada, to be easily controlled by someone.
Same goes for you.
Boruto, dodge!
I can't! I can't!
I won't let you kill each other so easily.
You're part of my precious doll collection.
Breaking you so easily wouldn't be fun, right?
Are you okay, Sarada?!
I don't think it's going to be okay…
I never thought watching two friends fight would be so much fun!
They could talk and think like us humans.
And it seemed to me that they had personalities.
Are you telling us to die, Master?
They were created to stand-in for shinobi…
And before we knew it, they acquired a will and…
a desire to live, eh?
Ah, so, this is it.
Yes.
Now listen. From here on, Lord Ohnoki is your master.
Do whatever he tells you to do.
Yes, Master.
Please order me to do whatever you desire.
What is his name?
He is unnamed yet.
Hmm.
He must have a name.
One without a will.
Empty.
Ah. He shall be called Ku [empty].
Your name shall be Ku.
Ku.
From today, you will be my arms and legs,
and you must do your best to protect the lives of people.
Yes, Master.
I shall also complete four more Fabrications shortly.
The day my long-awaited wish comes true nears!
Kakou, Kokuyou, Sekiei, Kirara…
From today, these four will be your arms and legs,
and work tirelessly to bring your wish to fruition.
Please order whatever you wish them to do.
Stop, stop with the formality!
Seems we have a long road ahead of us,
as you can't pick up on subtleties yet.
Raise your heads.
From now, in my place,
you shall help in creating an ideal society.
Kozuchi… We're almost there.
Just a little longer,
and we'll have the world you dreamed about.
Was I wrong?
My dear Kozuchi…
I've done a foolish and sinful thing!
I cannot allow Ku to continue!
Move away!
Didn't you hear my order?
EARTH
Hey, Doctor?
Once we get hearts,
will we be able to live like regular people?
No.
In fact, you could say you will be even greater than humans.
Your lifespan will be as long as humans,
but your strength will far exceed them!
Hmm…
But, that doesn't interest me.
Because all I want to do, is to protect my precious friends.
Rest a while.
I'll leave him to you.
I heard from the Akuta earlier that…
Kokuyou and Kakou were taken down.
After hearing that those two are gone…
I felt a pain right here.
Even though there's nothing in here.
I wonder…
Could I be feeling lonely or sad?
I don't understand it too well myself.
But it's been hurting since, you know?
After getting a heart and becoming closer to being human,
will this pain get worse?
Just because you have a heart
doesn't mean you're closer to being human.
What?
Having a heart itself isn't the same as having heart.
When the heart is ready, we're to deliver it to the old city…
per Lord Ku.
Right.
Just a little longer…
and I'll be able to extract the hearts.
Please tell him it will be just a short while.
Where is everyone?
Mr. Akatsuchi!
That you, Sekki?
Then that's all the more reason we have to get out of here now!
Wait!
We must rescue Lord Ohnoki!
However…
As much as I'm ashamed to admit, I can't move.
My dear Sekki, will you go in my place?
Huh? Me?
Yes.
Every shinobi in the village have been imprisoned.
You're the only one I can ask.
That's impossible…
I don't have that kind of strength…
Yeah, but it's useless. I've never once—!
Making excuses—
Making excuses, cannot be excused!
I understand.
I'm counting on you, Sekki!
Once I get Lord Third, I'll come back for you.
Please stay here until then.
Granny… I'm gonna see this through, without fail!
The heart is complete.
Let's go to Lord Ku.
I've never had so much fun playing with dolls.
Maybe it's about time I cut off one of your arms!
What did you say?
Shall I let you in on something wonderful?
Mitsuki and Sekiei will be here shortly,
and they're bringing a heart for Lord Ku!
This is something I cannot miss.
I won't let Mitsuki do that!
Oh, you're so persistent!
I have to go now.
Sorry, but playtime is over.
When something precious is about to break, my chest aches.
I don't want to see the end,
so you guys just do what you will here.
Oh, that was so human of me just now!
Damn it!
Wait!
Release!
That was close!
How did you undo it?
I reflected my Sharingan there
and put myself under a genjutsu, to disrupt my chakra.
To be honest, that was close!
Let's hurry!
Mitsuki's over there.
EARTH
Oh, so this is it?
Our hearts are going to be ready soon too, right?
Yes.
The Doctor says he's preparing them now.
Yes!
That was faster than we originally estimated!
Yes.
We rushed to complete your heart first, Lord Ku.
That's what the Doctor said.
I see!
From this moment, we shall complete Master's plan.
Anyone who interferes will be swiftly dealt with.
Yes!
You have done well too, Mitsuki.
You carried on Master's will. Stay on with us.
Now, bring that here!
Wait!
Why aren't you two dead?
Sorry to disappoint you.
But we're not that weak!
I still have to talk to Mitsuki!
Mitsuki! Listen to me!
Lightning Style: Snake Lightning.
Earth Style: Reverse Antlion.
Hey, Ku!
Weren't you Fabrications created to protect humans?
So then, it's wrong to take the lives
of the Earth Village's shinobi and villagers!
Mitsuki, Ku is wrong!
Don't help someone like him!
He's not going to listen to you.
Mitsuki! You've gotta listen to me!
I didn't have a clue about how you felt.
Actually, I didn't even try to understand you!
But it's different now.
I want to know what you're thinking!
I want to know why you came to the Land of Earth,
and what's making you stay here!
Answer me, Mitsuki!
Boruto, don't interfere.
Mitsuki!
Lord Ku.
Stop it!
At last, a complete life is in our grasp!
We will become beings who will surpass humans.
At the dawn of this new day, we will stand at the top of this village—
no, the entire world!
W-What?!
This is my will.
M-My heart!
Lord Ku!
B-Bastard!
Mitsuki?
What's that?
W-What's happening?
Konohamaru Sensei.
I'm in a race against time right now.
Please, don't try to stop me.
Do you realize what you've done?
I'm sorry.
But there's still something I must do.
When everything is over, I will accept my punishment.
So right now…
I understand.
But, what are you going to do?
I…
I will carry out my will.
Just don't forget…
No matter what happens,
you are and always will be a member of Team 7.
Yes.
Mitsuki?
I'm sorry for fooling you all this time.
You bastard.
Mitsuki!
Mitsuki…
I'll never forgive you! I'll never forgive you!
You should just forget about your plan.
Right about now,
the people who were going to be your heart donors,
have been freed.
What?!
Sorry to keep you all waiting!
Lady Fourth! You're safe!
Yeah.
Thanks to a masked shinobi.
Like I'd let some clay dolls bring me down!
Our counteroffensive starts now!
I can't just stay here.
You will get out of my way!
Earth Style: Weighted Boulder Jutsu!
I must go!
Boruto, I…
I'll listen to what you have to say later.
Mitsuki!
I won't let it end like this!
Mitsuki!
Sekiei…
You totally deceived me, Mitsuki!
Don't keep doing this, Sekiei.
If you do, your body won't hold up.
You were lying to me all this time,
so stop acting like my friend now!
You're wrong, I want to help you.
Next time on Boruto Naruto Next Generations:
"Mitsuki and Sekiei"
You want to help me?
Then give me your heart!
MITSUKI AND SEKIEI
