Massive Rasengan!
Seems... my left arm and flank has been crushed...
No feeling in my legs either.
The jutsu allows me to store what I've shrunk
in a dimension where time doesn't flow,
and...
retrieve them whenever I want.
Just like this glass of wine.
Handy, isn't it?
With your skill, you should've been able to tell at first exchange
that you'd end up dying in vain if you fought me.
And yet, you challenged me.
Was it shinobi pride?
No, I think it was something else.
It was human weakness.
In your loathsome arrogance, you believed you could not lose.
Despite everything, there was a gap in your shinobi professionalism.
Amado picked up on that and set you against me,
knowing you had no chance of winning.
In any case, he outmaneuvered us both.
I'll kill that fox eventually!
Any last words for him?
I'll relay them before I kill him... as a favor to a former comrade.
I can't hear you. What was that?
Summoning Jutsu.
Where is that purposeless stray dog intending on going?
Are you going to relay your last words to Amado in person?
Whatever.
I don't have time to waste on the likes of Koji, anyway.
Just you wait, Kawaki.
I'm coming for you right now.
Prepared
No! Absolutely not!
Why not?!
I can fight too!
The enemy is a complete monster.
Only Sasuke and I will take him on.
You'd just get in the way if you were there.
You lost against that Jigen guy before, didn't you?!
So, how do you plan to win against an even stronger guy?
You don't need to think about that.
Anyway, I can't allow you to fight.
But didn't we fight against Momoshiki together?!
Isn't it better to have more fighters?!
Boruto!
You might get taken over by the power of your Karma.
If you went into battle this time,
can you say for sure that it won't happen?
We've started evacuating the residents.
I see.
Thanks for moving quickly.
Next, we have to decide where to hide Kawaki.
Isshiki will definitely come here to embed a Karma onto Kawaki.
Even if we hide him, he has the Byakugan.
If he uses that, he'll find him immediately.
The Byakugan, huh?
What a troublesome bastard.
We have no choice.
I guess we just have to use "that."
Understood.
We're short on time,
so I'll explain everything to you on the way there.
All right.
Everyone, let's get moving.
Boruto and I still need to talk.
Go on ahead.
Okay.
Make it quick.
This was once an underground facility that belonged to
a division of the Anbu Black Ops known as The Foundation.
The village has no official records of this location's existence.
A facility that's impervious to the Byakugan exists here?
The leader of The Foundation, a man called Danzo,
feared a coup by the Hyuga Clan, who are powerful Byakugan users.
He created this facility to counter them.
I never expected to be hidden in such a facility.
Thank you.
It's because we need you to keep an eye on Kawaki's condition.
The science is beyond my understanding...
SEAL
Since it's peaceful now,
we sealed it away thinking we'd never need to use it again.
The Byakugan can't be used to find him while he's here.
This is the perfect place for our current situation.
Only you can release this barrier.
Yeah.
SEAL
KAGE
An Otsutsuki is on their way to the village right now.
An Otsutsuki? You mean—?!
One of the guys who showed up during the Chunin Exam...
Another one's coming?
That means we've got to show some spirit,
or we'll be in big trouble.
But Mr. Shikamaru is one of the top strategists
in all of the shinobi world!
I'm sure we'll be all right!
Yeah. Let's beat 'em at their own game!
Yeah!
That's right!
I'm sorry!
Though we're up against a powerful enemy, this time...
I don't have a plan.
Until now, I've always tried to stay several moves ahead in battle.
But this time, I can't predict what'll happen at all.
I can't even be certain that I can keep everyone alive.
Despite that, I need you to put yourselves out there and fight.
I'm really sorry about that.
Even so...
Lend me your strength for the sake of this village!
What are you saying?
We can't let you carry a heavy burden on your own.
We'll do whatever we can to protect our village!
That's right!
Just let us Leaf Shinobi handle this!
Of course!
This is exactly the time to show them what Leaf unity is all about!
You all agree, don't you?!
Of course, we do!
I'm all in!
Of course!
Leave this to us!
You guys...
That's right!
We can do this!
I acknowledge your determination.
Let's do everything we can to protect this village!
– Yeah! – Yeah!
Mugino, Lord Seventh has decided to protect Kawaki.
Hey, since that's the case,
I'm going to put my life on the line like you did.
Damn it!
I...
Boruto...
I'm ready to die at any moment...
for the Leaf.
The same goes for Naruto.
We are always prepared to do so.
What about you?
Are you prepared to die for the village?
I'm...
Sarada said that
you defeated an enemy with powers that weren't yours.
My mind was foggy while it was going on,
so I don't remember anything really well.
When I came to, the enemy was already eliminated.
That probably means the Karma's extraction
has progressed quite far.
Which also means you may be starting to not be yourself.
If my body gets completely taken over...
And I stop being myself...
If that happens...
I don't know what I might do to everyone in the village!
And that scares me!
Can everyone hear me?!
There is an individual in the sky above the village!
Their chakra data is not available.
It's an enemy attack!
He's here!
Hey, hurry up!
This area will take a little longer to evacuate!
Please, just hurry!
Hmm...
Where did they hide him?
Everyone, please look after Kawaki!
RAT BOAR DOG
There are still locations that haven't finished evacuating!
We need to hurry!
Linking communication between all shinobi is dangerous!
You won't hold up, Ms. Ino!
Still... I must do it!
They might hand him over if I kill several people.
We won't let you do whatever you want.
Yeah. Naruto doesn't need to deal with a guy like him.
Hmm...
I wonder if their lives will suffice.
I guess I'll try killing them.
We won't let you do that!
MEDICAL
LEAF HOSPITAL
You're injured.
We need to evacuate immediately.
I can't sit around doing nothing.
Lord Seventh and my dad are fighting, aren't they?!
I have to...
No, I can't let you go!
I have to... join them...
Are they dead?
He did all this... in a single attack?!
Not yet!
It's not over yet!
I struggle to understand
why you shinobi come at me knowing that you'll die.
It's so... you don't get your hands on Kawaki!
Even if we die!
I see.
Then die.
Massive Rasengan!
The Hokage!
Konohamaru, thank you for buying time.
Lord Seventh!
Anyway, take everyone and get away from here.
Yes, sir!
How dare you...!
I'm glad to see you.
This saves me some time.
So, where's Kawaki?
Like I'd tell you!
Forget about that.
Let's pick up where we left off and settle things once and for all!
Good grief.
About that location...
Thanks to Konohamaru and the others buying time...
we've finished evacuating!
We'll be done in other areas shortly as well...
So...
You're free to go all out, Naruto!
Okay!
Yeah, he's really strong...
That annoying, damned Rinnegan!
Sasuke!
I had to get myself prepared.
You just don't know when to give up.
Have you forgotten how badly I beat you last time?
Naruto, cover me with throwing weapons.
Shuriken, kunai... it doesn't matter.
What?
Does he have a strategy?
Sukunahikona!
It's not gonna work!
He's shrinking all of them!
Damn Uchiha... What are you planning?
There's no difference, no matter what you do!
What?!
I can't shrink it?!
Boruto?!
You have the power to shrink anything, but...
that doesn't apply to living creatures, right?!
Transformation Jutsu!
Such impudence!
All right...
Listen closely, Boruto.
Even if Momoshiki happens to take over your consciousness...
Don't worry.
I swear to stop you with all my strength.
Even if I have to kill you.
That's what I'm prepared to do as your teacher.
Since Naruto probably won't be able to.
Before...
when we went to fight Momoshiki, you lent me your headband, right?
Can I borrow it again?
It's valuable to me.
You better return it to me in person.
Yeah.
It's a promise!
So what? What can you do anyway?
Boruto!
What?!
That jutsu was just like the one Jigen used on me!
How did Boruto—?!
Hey, Sasuke!
What the hell is going on?!
It's what he was prepared to do.
Come on!
We need to follow Boruto's chakra!
Where am I?!
That brat!
How much of Momoshiki's Karma can he use?!
Boruto! Are you okay?!
I didn't know what to expect, but it went well.
Now you can go all out without damaging the village, right?
You idiot! That was so reckless!
All you need to do now is take him down!
Though that's easier said than done!
Inferior creatures!
You'll regret this soon enough!
Boruto, where are we?
I don't know!
I figured if I used the Karma,
I could whisk us away to another dimension
like how the Otsutsuki do.
Damn it!
I guess you got that "act first, think later" attitude
from me, huh?
His lifespan should only be about two days...
Do everything we can to prevent him from leaving this place!
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
"Sacrifice"
SACRIFICE
Dad, Mr. Sasuke...
Let's end this here!
