How dare you! They're my precious friends!
Where did you go?
Damn it!
The Hokage hid the Tailed Beasts, didn't he?
I doubt that I'll learn anything from you, but…
Do you have anything to say?
It's too bad for you, I don't know.
Even if I did, I'd never tell you!
But I'm asking politely. You're very rude, aren't you?
Chakra from a genjutsu user?
This could come in real handy.
Come in, Mirai.
– What interesting things you use! – Hey! Are you okay?!
– This gives me an idea. – You, okay, Mirai?
Urashiki's Target
Don't you think you're being too severe with security?
If anything, this is nothing.
Otsutsuki has already drained chakra from several people.
But still, this isn't a war.
You're making everyone in the village feel uneasy by doing this.
He can teleport.
Since Sasuke's here, he probably won't barge into the village,
but we can never be too careful.
Sasuke, how are you feeling?
You haven't been in top form since your chakra was stolen
in that last fight, right?
Yeah.
But I can't let that bother me.
The Nine Tails Chakra inside you is being targeted.
I know that, but…
I wish that bastard Otsutsuki would just come at me directly!
He's not stupid enough to come at you head on.
With that many people, who knows how much time I'll need…
I made a little too much noise.
And because of that, the Fox is now surrounded by many impediments.
I guess I have no choice.
I hate to use chakra up all that I gathered…
But since he's conveniently turned up, I guess I'll do just that.
If I get all of the Fox's chakra, it will all even out.
I've got good news and bad news.
First, the good news.
We're finally working in tandem with the other villages.
We should be able to narrow down where Otsutsuki is even further.
What's the bad news?
One chunin has gone missing while on patrol.
It's currently under investigation.
Who went missing?
Mirai Sarutobi.
Was it him?
We can't know for sure, but it is a possibility.
That Otsutsuki's name was Urashiki, right?
Yeah.
I'm counting on you to find Mirai.
I'll send out one of my clones to find Urashiki.
Calm down, Naruto!
He's after your chakra, you know.
But—!
About Urashiki's objective…
I doubt he's gathering all this chakra just so he can devour you.
Most likely his goal is just that, to gather up all chakra.
Hey, wait, Boruto!
– I'm not waitin'! – Hey!
I knew he'd come here.
You're sending genin to search for Urashiki this time, aren't you?
Why am I the only one who has to stay at home on standby?
Calm down, Boruto!
It's an executive decision!
What's the reason?!
Boruto…
Urashiki has a vendetta against you, because of your fight before.
It's also risky for you to be out in the open.
Let it go this time.
I don't want to be the only one sitting around!
This is an order.
But that's—!
Act like an adult, Boruto.
Even I was a little more reasonable when I was your age.
Whatever!
I wish I could see how you were back then!
If you insist on defying my orders,
I'll have to restrain you for the time being.
No way!
Can I interject, Naruto?
Tell him, Sasuke!
Sasuke, this isn't your place to…
Boruto and I will form a two-man team.
How's that, Naruto?
A two-man team?
If he's with me, I don't think he'll get attacked out of the blue.
Still, we need you within the village in case we need to fight off Urashiki.
As long as we restrict our activities to the village,
there shouldn't be a problem.
Please, Dad!
I mean, Lord Seventh!
I'll grant you permission to form a two-man team.
However, you're forbidden to leave the village!
I'm counting on you, Sasuke.
All right!
ANCIENT RELIC DISCOVERED ON THE SEA FLOOR The ancient relic that was discovered on the sea floor other day
ANCIENT RELIC DISCOVERED ON THE SEA FLOOR is being analyzed by the Leaf's Archeological Research Institute.
The patterns etched into it indicate
that it may be some sort of sealing device…
That being said…
Patrolling the village is boring, ya know!
Bear with it, Boruto.
I know how you feel, but this is to ensure your safety.
Try to understand that.
I get it, loud and clear.
Oh, it's Boruto!
Hey, guys! Are you on a mission?
It's part mission, part testing!
The more people to test the new tech, the better…
so we were recruited to be testers.
New tech?
Denki's company developed some new technology.
It's this, Boruto!
But we've had radios before, haven't we?
Our engineer Mr. Haguruma came up with this idea,
and I added a few features.
This shows everyone's current position.
Right now, we can only gather data from a limited area…
But in time, I hope to be able to cover the entire Land of Fire.
This will raise the level of safety in our missions, right?
Amazing!
Babysitting Boruto, Dad?
I guess you could call it that.
Don't just protect other people,
cherish your own family once in a while, you know?
I know that.
Hey, Stupid Boruto!
Be good and keep an eye on things here.
Don't cause my dad too much trouble!
What did you say?!
Okay, should we get going?
Roger that, Captain.
Boruto, behave yourself, okay?
Hah!
Sometimes, you just have to grin and bear it.
You're always in the limelight and we never have a chance to shine.
Well then, Boruto, please take care of things here.
It's nice to take a break every so often, Boruto!
Shut up and just get outta here already!
What's the matter?
Report your situation.
Target discovered… Pursuit in progress…
…from the southern…
Target?
I repeat!
Target discovered! There's no mistake!
It's Otsutsuki!
For real?!
He's heading south…
Looks like they're steadily moving away from the village.
The enemy uses Time-Space Ninjutsu!
Don't get too close!
I'll try to corner him as far as I can.
Roger that.
I'll send reinforcements immediately.
We'll leave the pursuit to him.
All teams in the vicinity will head south outside the village
towards sector 1-HA.
We will rendezvous with Shikadai's team who are close to the south side,
and close in from the opposite side.
– Roger! – Roger!
Okay, we're joining up with Tenten's team and heading for the ravine up ahead.
– Roger! – Roger!
I see.
If they keep advancing, they'll come to that narrow ravine.
Choji, are you in position?
I'm ready anytime.
I see…
They're going to corner him in that narrow ravine!
I've reached the ravine!
Roger!
They've cornered Urashiki!
Will we still make it in time?
We have to!
We'll corner that bastard with every shinobi in the village
before he can cross the border!
Things are getting pretty nasty, Sasuke!
Hey! Sasuke?!
I hate to think about it, but…
Boruto, Urashiki can copy the jutsu of those whose chakra he steals.
Huh?
Yesterday, a shinobi went missing.
We suspect that there was an encounter with Urashiki.
Who's the shinobi?
Mirai Sarutobi.
No way!
Something bothered me
when we were watching the testers on the screen earlier.
Do you know about Mirai's special jutsu?
Well, she's good with the Wind Style, but…
I'm pretty sure genjutsu is her specialty.
Urashiki just might have pulled one over us.
Urashiki's using genjutsu?
It's possible the shinobi at the front are seeing an illusion.
The Urashiki that they're seeing running away right now…
I'll drive him into a corner very soon.
Don't let this chance slip away!
…is probably a diversion.
But for what purpose?
You're trapped now, Otsutsuki!
He's coming! Get ready!
Time's up, Otsutsuki!
Please stop! Mr. Korogi!
Please snap out of it!
Shikadai, what are you doing?!
The enemy is right there!
Release!
M-Mirai!
Release!
What?
But…I was fighting Otsutsuki.
Was I—?
You were both under genjutsu.
Hey, Mirai.
Are you okay?
This has turned out really bad…
The village's defenses have been reduced in number.
And now, the village is totally open.
Group psychology…
Falling for such simple tricks…
Humans are truly fools!
Well, Naruto Uzumaki…
I'll now take my sweet time stealing the Nine-Tail's Chakra.
Damn it! Even the shinobi on street security were mobilized.
But even if he created a diversion like this,
there's still shinobi at the Hokage's Office.
Why would Urashiki—?
Urashiki is after the Nine Tails' Chakra.
Let's hurry!
How's it going with Urashiki?
We haven't received a report yet.
Boruto?
No, this isn't it.
The Hokage's Office is completely secure.
Why don't you both relax a little?
What's wrong?
Even if security in the village has been weakened,
Urashiki must know that Dad still has capable shinobi around him, right?
And that you, of all people, are here.
Even if Urashiki confronts Dad directly, will he succeed?
You think Urashiki is after something besides the Nine Tails' Chakra?
ANCIENT RELIC DISCOVERED ON THE SEA FLOOR – That's right! I remember! – The discovery of the ancient relic…
When we fought the White Zetsu at that ruin…
I saw the same mark that they showed on the news!
That ancient relic that was discovered in the ocean!
It's being kept at the Leaf's Archeological Research Institute!
Is it connected to Otsutsuki?
I don't know, but…
The Archeological Research Institute?
I'm not positive, but…
A relic that's more precious than the Nine Tails…
The Hokage Office is completely locked down.
Right now, we should go wherever there's even a slight possibility.
Sasuke, look!
His chakra's been extracted.
Could this place really be the target?
Your hunch was right.
LEAF ARCHEOLOGICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE
Here it is!
As luck would have it, the humans found it.
This device can only be opened by the Otsutsuki.
Awaken, Karasuki.
Activation authenticated.
I am Karasuki, the Noble Device.
Allow me to advise you on the procedure of my operation.
Confirming procedure.
My operation will be hindered if any steps are made out of order.
Master Urashiki Otsutsuki,
I must first be charged with chakra in order to operate.
Once charged, please configure transfer settings.
So plodding!
That's why turtles are so slow and irritating.
Could you hurry this up?
Found you, Urashiki!
What are you gonna do by stealing that?!
Steal? Such a typical human accusation.
This originally belongs to the Otsutsuki. I'm just taking it back.
You're not getting away!
Oh, how scary!
Should you really be saying that?
You certainly don't look like you're back at full strength.
I want to "thank you" for my horns,
but I don't have the time to waste on you.
I'm going to harvest the Fox's Chakra.
What?!
It's already too late.
You can't do anything.
Wait!
Where are we?
Be careful!
That turtle!
Urashiki was holding it earlier.
What's going on?
You followed me here?
Don't you know that persistent men are hated?
What do you have up your sleeve?
It's too soon…
W-What the hell is this?!
Boruto!
They went out of the gate a little too soon.
Boruto!
Ouch!
Sasuke!
I used up all of my chakra…
I don't sense Urashiki's presence, but…
Where are we anyway?
We should check around.
Damn it! Nothing's happening.
Is it because of this guy?
Probably.
Oh, it's a town!
Oh, what? It's the Leaf Village!
I wasted energy getting all worried.
What? The number of Great Stone Faces—!
Dad's face isn't—!
No way!
H-Hold on!
Why did you run off like that?!
Sasuke?
Boruto, this is…
The Leaf Village of the past!
The New City is gone! It doesn't feel like the village!
Where are we, ya know?!
Warning. We have greatly deviated from our target Temporal Transfer.
You just said Temporal Transfer, correct?
This is the Leaf Village from the past, right?
The past?
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
"The Village Hidden in The Leaves"
So, are you saying I can probably meet my dad as a kid?!
