How'd you—?
That heart—?!
I feel power surging through my body.
I never imagined a pulse could feel this good.
You're dangerous.
We can't leave you unrestrained.
You really got me.
To think, you were hiding your true nature.
There are many sides to a person!
Yeah, that's what it means to be human!
I need to take a short break.
We can't.
Please wait, Lord Third!
I must hurry!
This is one moment… that I cannot miss!
Ohnoki's Will
I will stop you this time.
Are you going to tell me that that's your will?
Don't be so full of yourself!
Earth Style: Stone Pillar Prison!
Mitsuki, why did you betray us?
We're both man-made. We're supposed to see eye-to-eye.
He's not the same as you!
Mitsuki is our friend!
You're in the way!
Boruto!
Mitsuki never intended to join you guys from the very beginning!
I wonder about that.
What are you saying?
Before he left the village,
he had ample opportunity to ask others for help.
But he didn't, and came on his own to meet us.
He was happy to find others like himself.
He couldn't ignore his curiosity for a chance to meet real comrades.
Isn't that right?
Mitsuki, tell him he's wrong!
Mitsuki?
It seems you were also looking at a different side of him…
You didn't even notice the change he was going through.
You have no right to say you're his friend.
Shut up!
Boruto!
It's so easy to get you riled up!
Boruto!
Mitsuki!
Boruto!
FIRE
In a serious emergency like this,
there's no need to stick to the rules and wait for a reply!
How many times do I have to tell you,
that we need your authorization to officially enter the Land of Earth?!
It's unusual to see Shikamaru
– so worked up. – Yes, that's right.
I could say the same for you
– as well, right? – Yes.
Correct!
So…
Well, I'm a parent too.
You're the only one left!
Make sure you notify the Feudal Lord immediately!
Looks like Lord Seventh is trying to go to the Land of Earth.
To save Boruto and the others?
Let's go too!
Use your head.
We've been ordered to stand by.
One wrong move and we could lose our rank of genin.
But…
Sorry to put you through all that trouble, Shikamaru.
Take care of my kid.
I promise to bring them all home.
Lord Seventh!
Huh?
Please allow Team 5 and Team 15 to accompany you!
You guys…
We want to help Boruto and the others!
Please, Lord Hokage!
Listen, you guys…
I know how you feel.
But there's no way I'm gonna put your lives in danger.
Forget it.
Then we'll just go on our own!
We're prepared to face the consequences later!
They're lucky to have friends like you.
Lord Seventh!
Everyone…
That's pretty ballsy of you.
B-Ballsy?!
U-Um… What are we supposed to do?
I didn't see anything.
Anyway, let's follow them!
– Right! – Right!
Hurry and come on out!
I know something like that isn't going to kill you!
Cha!
There's no end to this!
I wonder if Mitsuki was really searching…
for real friends?
We really have to get to know him more.
You've done more than enough.
But forget that, we have to do something about this.
Yeah…
What? No way!
How?
Sekki?
What are you doing here?
Lord Third is with me too.
Boruto, where is Ku?
I must stop him before it's too late!
Old Man…
Take me to where Ku is!
Please!
It frustrates me, to pass on this honor to you…
But I can't take another step.
Damn it!
I'm not a pack mule, ya know!
Forgive me.
This place isn't gonna hold up for long.
Can you get away on your own?
That goes without saying.
Since my goal is to become the Tsuchikage!
Sarada, let's go!
Okay!
How interesting…
You were hiding a power like that up your sleeve, eh?
People are wary of too much power.
That's why I was discouraged from using it around them.
Also, there's a chance that my body cannot endure
a power that is too extreme.
But, if it's to protect Boruto…
it doesn't matter.
Magnificent!
With your body, we can create any number of perfect Fabrications
without relying on those defects!
It would be wise for you to stop talking nonsense.
Because I'm unusually angry right now.
Striking Shadow Snakes!
It's useless!
Earth Style: Earth Golem Jutsu!
Don't overexert yourself.
I can't afford to have your body break down.
Having said that, let me weaken you a bit more.
Enough, Ku.
Mitsuki, are you okay?!
You were created to protect the weak.
When did you stray from that path?
I haven't strayed from that path!
Right now, you're being controlled by hatred and irritation.
Wake up, Ku!
Hatred?
That's true.
But I am merely a vessel.
Thus, it's the hatred that you harbored and passed on to me!
Hatred… that I harbored, you say?
Old Man!
K-Ku!
Master, you are old.
It's about time you returned to the earth.
However, rest assured.
Your will shall be carried out by me, your vessel!
Old Man, get up. This is bad!
This sound!
Mitsuki, don't move.
I still have use for your body.
Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!
Look! The left side is dirty!
Remember, that's a precious rock of the Hidden Stone!
But it's just a plain old rock, any way you look at it!
This rock…
symbolizes our Shinobi Village's Will of Stone!
Well…
You're right. This is just an ordinary rock.
Whaaaaaat?!
W-What's the big idea, you stupid old man?!
I can't tell which one it is now!
See…
If you put a new one on here like this, no one would know.
What?
What's important is the Will of Stone inside you.
Ohnoki…
Hidden within your will is the power to change the world.
But if you're not careful,
that precious will of yours may disappear…
Disappear?
Barriers!
As you keep running into barriers,
you may abandon your will, make excuses,
and even replace it with hatred.
Hatred?
Mr. Ohnoki!
Huh?!
Mr. Ohnoki, are you all right?
This is an interesting place.
This is a sacred spot
for the purpose of polishing your stone and confronting your will.
Did you find what you were looking for?
Before I left the village, Mr. Ohnoki told me…
If there's something you still cling on to,
no matter what barriers you come up against…
That is your will.
I've seen many things since leaving the village.
People become stronger when
they have something they want to protect.
Sekiei said that.
I don't know if I'm empty inside.
But…
I'm absolutely sure that this is my will.
He's coming.
Looks like this is our final fight.
About what Ku said earlier…
After you left, I realized for the first time
that I knew nothing about you.
We came because we want to get to know the real you.
Boruto.
And one more thing.
We came to give this to you.
I will lure Ku.
You two take Mr. Ohnoki and get out of here.
What are you saying?
We can't do that!
I want to protect you guys.
That's my will.
Also, there are clones of me stocked in the research lab.
Don't worry. We'll meet again, just like now.
You're wrong about that.
It doesn't matter whether you look the same or not.
What's important…
is the will inside here, right?
To me, Mitsuki is you, the one standing before me right now!
Boruto…
Here you are, humans!
Let's go!
– Right! – Right!
Team 7 is back together again, ya know!
Earth Style: Doron!
Cha, damn it!
Too easy!
Enough, Ku!
You must not add to your sins any further!
We cannot lose any more young lives!
So crafty!
Well, it's over now!
Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!
Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!
Why you—!
Cha!
Boruto, now!
What?!
Rasengan!
We… We did it!
Don't underestimate me.
No way!
Damn it!
I can't move!
I'll turn your weak will… into dust!
What?
It's just as you said.
I wasn't able to save Kozuchi,
so I guess I blamed the world for that…
And I twisted that boy's will and his yearning for peace.
Isn't it a bit too late for regrets?!
I rejected his will once, but I must take up the mantle again!
Or else, I would not be able to face him in death!
Damn you!
Burn this into your memory!
Witness Ohnoki the Fence Sitter's final Particle Style!
Old Man!
Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!
Lord Third!
Oh, it's you, Sekki.
I am indebted to you as well!
Did you the find it, Mitsuki?
The secret of your will?
Yes.
Carrying it out is no easy task.
At times, you may even lose it.
Old Man, rest for now, or else…
People can always rediscover one's will.
Even if you think it's useless and
you abandon your will after coming up against many barriers…
If you've been given a chance to face yourself,
you can pick up the pieces and start over.
There are many sides to a will, you know.
Yeah, you got that right!
Keep on polishing it, just like that…
And in time, it will be the strongest will in the world.
That's what it means to live a human life.
No matter how big a barrier we encounter…
we'll never let it go!
Well said.
You must not lose it.
You reclaimed it too, Mr. Ohnoki.
You did once more…
I wanted to eat them…
one more time.
Hidden Leaf dumplings…
Sure, you still can!
I wonder if I can?
Since I'm an old man with little time left.
Gramps!
Boruto.
Dad!
I notified him.
It's all over.
I'll have the details in my report.
Good work.
You rescued all of them, right?
I didn't do anything.
Please excuse me.
Hey, Konohamaru!
Konohamaru Sensei.
Mitsuki, I'm glad you came back.
Boruto, Sarada… I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I also caused Shikadai and the others,
and the entire village, so much trouble.
I guess I won't be welcome anymore
in the Leaf Village.
Mitsuki…
Don't be stupid!
Look over there, it's your welcoming party.
Boruto!
We came to save you!
You're late, you guys!
Oh, Mitsuki is with them too!
Thank goodness!
You okay, Mitsuki?
Mitsuki!
Hey!
Thank you, everyone!
I wonder what's going to happen to Team 7 now?
It's unusual to see you being so weak, Sarada.
We can just start over from scratch, right?
Don't you get it?
We might not be able to see Mitsuki ever again.
He might even leave the village on his own!
No need to worry. Mitsuki's all right.
Next time on Boruto Naruto Next Generations:
"A New Ordinary"
It's because the place where Mitsuki belongs is right here.
A NEW ORDINARY
