Looks like the situation's changed, huh?
I don't believe him!
He's lying because he wants the Hashirama Cell!
Then go confirm it with your own eyes!
Release!
Damn it!
You're so reckless!
He's right!
You could've died!
I couldn't help it.
My body moved before I knew it.
That's so like you, Boruto!
This doesn't mean I trust you.
This is just until I make sure Asaka's safe!
Death Match
I can't believe the Hidden Cloud jonin were no match against him!
Whoever's after the Hashirama Cell must be ridiculously strong, huh?
At any rate, we have to hurry and find your big brother!
Don't worry!
Even if they attack, we can't lose if we all fight together!
Don't be foolish!
Huh?
My only goal is to notify Asaka of danger.
I have no intention of joining up with you!
I don't think you have the luxury of saying that right now!
There he is!
It's the Haze shinobi!
Thank goodness!
Let's hurry and let him know!
Hold on.
I'm going alone.
Hey! Wait up!
Boruto!
It will only complicate things if we tag along.
Oh yeah, you're right.
Asaka!
Hiruga?!
I don't know which shinobi village you're from, but…
how dare you Transform into Hiruga!
Y-You're wrong, Asaka!
Don't you dare say my name, with his face on!
Hiruga's dead!
Are you mocking his sacrifice?!
That is one thing I will not forgive!
Go to hell!
Wait!
He's not a Transformation!
He's your little brother!
Leaf shinobi?!
He put his life on the line to let you escape.
It's because he wants you
to take your little brother's earrings back to your home!
But there you are, his big brother, pointing a blade right at him.
That's not right!
Are you really–?!
It's a disgrace that I'm still here.
How can I face our dead brothers who gave up their lives?
I'm glad you're alive!
Is it okay that I'm still alive?
Looks like the misunderstanding's been cleared up.
Hiruga, why are you with them?
We're in an emergency situation right now.
A frightening enemy who wants the Hashirama Cell is closing in.
Also, it seems these guys aren't just trying to take the Hashirama Cell.
Boruto!
What is it?
I call a temporary truce.
Just until we bring down the enemy who's coming after Asaka.
Yeah!
We can discuss about what to do with the Hashirama Cell after that.
Right now, let's take care of that enemy—
Hiruga!
What was that?!
Stay alert! Boruto!
Oh, dear…
Looks like I interrupted you all at just the right time.
You–!
Don't get so riled up.
Boruto, your direct attack didn't make a scratch on him at all!
Yeah.
Mr. Omoi was right.
There's something covering his body.
My stones and body are the most beautiful in the entire world.
I use the carbon that I absorb into my body,
and create super-dense molecular bonds,
which I then polish up…
…into this beautiful, durable body and stones.
A jutsu like that?!
Then–!
Fire Style!
Dragon Flame Bomb!
Did that get him?
You're going to have to get more desperate than that.
At this rate, I'll kill you all quickly
and take the Hashirama Cell.
We're never gonna let you have it!
What is your purpose?
What will you do if you get the Hashirama Cell?
Explaining to you will only waste my time.
Then we'll force an answer out of you.
You're a fool… causing all this unnecessary commotion.
Mr. Victor?!
What took you so long, old-timer?
Do not talk down to me, Deepa.
Hey, this looks like…
Does this mean they're working together?
Seems exactly like it.
We were the first to discover the Hashirama Cell.
Just calmly return it to us.
We have no intention of giving it to you.
We will take the Hashirama Cell back to the Leaf Village
where it will be put under strict safekeeping.
That's too bad.
If that's the case…
He's fast!
We'll end our discussion here.
We'll move to a different location.
Big Bro!
I'll handle the troublesome jonin.
Deepa, get rid of the genin and retrieve the Hashirama Cell.
What? I get the brats?
Enough idle talk!
For the sake of the plan, we can't waste any more time.
Since we're at this juncture together…
I'll let you choose.
Do you want to die slowly?
Or…
Do you want to…
…die right this instant?
What's going on?!
I had my suspicions
Victor wasn't just an ordinary senior citizen, but–!
Judging from your appearance, you're already wounded.
Let's see you deflect this!
We'll get the details out of him in the Leaf.
When he comes to…
he'll be lying in bed!
Are you okay?
Yeah, but he's–!
You are but only two jonin.
Do you really think you're enough to take me on?
Mugino, switch and assist me.
He's not someone you can take on with your injury.
This isn't working.
I can't focus my Sharingan while dodging his attacks!
Are you a fool?
Mitsuki!
Worrying about your friend? Such confidence!
Damn it!
I'll send you flying!
Rasengan!
Boruto!
Damn it! It's way too solid!
I can't even make a scratch!
I have no blind spots with my rain of bullets and body.
You'll die or every bone in your body will shatter.
Whichever comes first.
We've gotta do something!
Hiruga!
Why…did it end up… like this?!
Hey, did you know?
When the flesh of an animal tastes the best?
Huh?!
It's just before it dies!
Fear and despair make meat delicious!
What is with this guy?
I wonder how it's gonna be with you?
Let the cooking begin!
Boruto!
It's impossible to dodge this many!
You're still standing?!
You have grit.
Around the time your willpower wanes,
your flesh will probably turn into the finest meat.
Damn it!
If only there was something I can do to get in one hit!
One hit?
But that Rasengan you used directly at him earlier
didn't even make a scratch!
This time, I'll fire off my Rasengan,
infused with every ounce of chakra I have!
I got it.
I'm almost out of chakra.
We only have one chance, Boruto!
Yeah, leave it to me!
Is this a strategy meeting?
I wish you'd go all out and make this more enjoyable for me….
Or else, the finished dish is gonna taste horrible.
Lightning Style!
Snake Lightning!
Boruto!
I'll help too!
Thank you!
You're still moving around?
Fine. You'll be the first one.
Multiple Striking Shadow Snakes!
I have to see through his attack quickly.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
First one, down!
Now for the second one!
Oh, looks like you have an interesting toy.
My Sharingan is about to wear off!
Is that your limit?
You were so close.
Second one, down!
He's all yours…
…Boruto!
Yeah!
What?!
It's over… now!
Rasengan!
Just kidding!
You think something like that would take me down?
Huh?
Scared?
Hopeless?
Your expression looks…
quite delicious!
This was never a battle from the start.
This was just a fun hunting trip.
A filthy gutter rat shouldn't try to bite a lion.
Know your place.
I have to stop him here, or else!
Everyone, please lend me your strength!
Hey!
Your target isn't that brat, right?
Isn't it the Hashirama Cell?!
Well, come and get it! It's yours!
W-Why?!
Sorry for being such a worthless big brother.
Hiruga…
Yuuga…
Yoruga…
I'll be joining you now.
Wait for me!
Stop it!
You survived!
Haze Ninja Art: Forbidden Jutsu: Red Spider Lily!
You didn't have to die together with a guy like that!
Damn it! That was dangerous!
What if the Hashirama Cell got destroyed?!
You didn't get hurt?
You're not getting away with this… ever!
Didn't I already tell you?
This is a hunt.
And the expedition's almost over.
You killjoy…
You're not afraid of me?
My parent told me never to use this power.
He said my body wouldn't be able to take it.
Because the energy I release is much too great.
I don't know what will happen if I use my full strength.
But it seems this is my only option.
Sage Art!
Great Snake Lightning!
Regrettably, the Hashirama Cell takes priority right now.
Thanks!
Hey, this is just like fighting a mob.
This is taxing!
Hey, that's–!
It's where Boruto and the others are!
That damned Deepa!
Why is it taking him so long to deal with a bunch of brats?!
Retrieving the Hashirama Cell should take precedence!
I have no choice!
Wait!
Just can't win against the advancement of old age?
What happened to the Hashirama Cell?
I let the brats get away, but the experiments come first…
Right?
Yeah.
We'll return to the lab immediately.
I won't let you two die.
Even…
if it breaks me!
We lost, didn't we?
It's frustrating.
The Sharingan had no effect.
Neither did my Rasengan.
I think Mitsuki protected us.
The way we are right now…
We can't keep being protected!

We need to get stronger, or else…
