Are you all right, Naruto?
Yeah, thanks to you!
I was about to be left behind in this strange place.
Try to be more careful, loser.
Sasuke Uchiha.
You traced the Hokage's chakra here, didn't you?
What unfortunate timing.
If you had arrived a few minutes later,
you could have taken him home and escaped
without having to fight a futile battle.
That just depends on how you think about it.
If we crush you here,
it will have been worth getting here early, right?
Yeah, that's right!
This is perfect.
We can go all out here without worrying about anything.
You make me laugh.
He's Bad News
It's started, huh?
I snuck in a toad before the portal disappeared.
I wonder what I'll see.
We need to hurry!
My Karma…
What in the world is happening?!
Kawaki!
These will look perfect in Himawari's vase!
What happened?
Konohamaru Sensei!
He's alive!
Kawaki?
What's the matter, Kawaki?
Hey, what happened?!
Lord Seventh was taken away!
You're unable to track Lord Seventh's chakra
after he disappeared?
We have no idea what's going on!
What about the ominous chakra that showed up near him?
We've lost sight of that too.
Very well.
Continue watching the situation.
Shikamaru!
That you, Ino? What is it?
Naruto's chakra has disappeared.
Right before that happened, we detected a strange chakra.
It's possible that someone took him.
Where did it happen?
At his house.
Where's Kawaki? He was with Naruto.
We didn't detect any changes to anyone else's chakra,
so he should still be there.
All right.
Let me know if the situation changes!
This is an emergency.
Give the order to close the gates!
Yes, sir!
Also, form an investigative team.
And call Tasuki from the Barrier Team.
I'm taking direct command.
It's so heavy!
He's absorbing our jutsu with his Karma.
Not these again!
Damn it!
Naruto, buy me some time!
Okay!
Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
He disappeared?!
That bastard!
So that's his deal.
Did you figure something out, Sasuke?
Yeah…
The actual ability itself is pretty simple.
I suspect he's shrinking matter.
Shrinking? Is that it?
Yeah, that's it.
But it's powerful.
Like these rods.
They start out so small that
you don't even realize you've been stabbed.
But they can cause mortal wounds
when he instantly restores them to their original size.
And it might look like he can suddenly disappear,
but he's actually just shrinking himself.
That makes sense.
A simple but very annoying ability.
Yeah…
That said, Naruto…
That's not his only secret.
Impressive.
The kinetic visual acuity of your Sharingan
is certainly something,
but even more impressive
is your cool headedness and perception.
And your Rinnegan-based Transportation Ninjutsu.
It seems the one I should eliminate first
is you, Sasuke Uchiha.
What are his other secrets?
He's coming!
Forcefully neutralizing it with a wide attack of your own, huh?
Sasuke! Where is he?!
Behind you, to your right!
By your feet!
All right!
Giant Rasengan!
Too bad.
I can still absorb jutsu even at this size.
I thought so!
That's what I was hoping for.
Thanks to that,
I can tell where you are even in your shrunken-down size.
Damn him!
Not good!
While I'm absorbing jutsu…
I can't move swiftly!
He escaped by teleporting, huh?
It's only natural, but all abilities have weaknesses.
That was very educational.
What is that?!
That's—!
Now let me teach you something in return…
You'll never be lucky as you were just now.
Please look after him.
What happened here?!
Boruto!
What happened?!
It was Jigen.
Jigen showed up!
Jigen? You mean the leader of the Kara?!
He said that he took Lord Seventh somewhere.
Where are you going?!
Isn't it obvious?
I'm going to look for them.
Do you have any leads?!
I'm going go look, even if I don't have any!
Calm down!
There's no point in taking action blindly!
Shut up!
Are you gonna just abandon Lord Seventh?!
What did you say?!
He's alive.
Your arm works by using his chakra, right?
So, it means he's safe.
That's right!
There's no way my dad could get taken down that easily.
Lord Seventh!
Naruto.
A little while before I tracked you here,
my investigation took me to a curious place.
I saw evidence…
of Momoshiki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki.
And Kaguya.
And a new, totally different Otsutsuki.
That's what the evidence pointed to.
Did you say the Otsutsuki?!
His horn looks exactly like that new Otsutsuki I saw.
What does this mean?
So, you went there?
How did you learn about it?
I know about all about your revolting pet too.
That Tailed Beast is a juvenile Ten Tails, isn't it?
A Ten Tails?!
Hey, I'm completely lost here!
When it comes to the Otsutsuki and the Ten Tails,
it can only mean one thing.
You're planning on draining this entire planet dry of chakra,
aren't you?
In short…
we need to do whatever we can to defeat him here, no matter what.
He's bad news.
Which means…
our job's still the same.
Oh? So, this is the two of you going all out?
Fine.
Show me what you've got.
Handed down throughout all the generations of the Uchiha…
the Susano'o.
It doesn't seem to be especially fast.
But what about its defense?
He easily penetrated the Susanoo's defenses!
He swapped our places.
Damn Rinnegan!
I didn't feel that hit connect!
Damn it.
Those things again?!
Naruto!
You haven't learned a thing!
All right!
What a shame.
That was a nice one, though.
What's the matter?
Are you done wasting your chakra?
He's…too strong!
Amaterasu!
The Amaterasu.
Black flames that will continue to burn
until it turns its target to ash…
Well, it doesn't matter…
what you throw at me.
This wasn't effective either, huh?
I can't expend anymore chakra.
I won't be able to use the Transportation Ninjutsu!
I like the looks on your faces!
You've run out of options, haven't you?
I'm already at my limit, too?
Jigen doesn't have the stamina to keep up.
I really need Kawaki.
This Vessel is done.
What's with those cracks?
Don't tell me, he—?!
It's time to wrap things up.
Sasuke!
This amount of damage…
is seriously bad!
It's been fun.
What's that?!
Naruto Uzumaki…
With the Nine Tails inside of you,
I think it will take too much work to kill you and it.
I'll take the easy route and seal you away,
by closing the lid on this coffin that we're standing on.
Seal me away?!
Hey!
What do you mean by seal away?
What?
Why are you doing something so complicated?
Is there a reason for that?
Like I said.
It will be difficult to kill you along with the Nine Tails.
I don't have time for this right now.
You don't have time?
Does that have anything to do with that crack in your abdomen?
Do you want to die that badly?
Stop, Naruto!
Don't rile him up any further.
Kurama.
He never had any business with you.
He doesn't want to waste any chakra.
Don't give him an excuse to change his mind and kill you,
so stay quiet.
It seems like your beast is the smart one.
Indeed, I have no interest in you in particular.
But your son, on the other hand, is a different story!
What?
His name was Boruto, right?
It was unfortunate I didn't get to meet him at your house.
How is he?
Is he maturing nicely?
What's Boruto got to do with anything?
Don't play dumb.
I'm talking about the Karma.
Boruto has one somewhere on his body, doesn't he?
You bastard!
What do want with Boruto?!
Control yourself, Naruto!
Sasuke Uchiha.
Could it be that you don't have the power to move anymore?
Or perhaps you're planning some way to get out of this situation…
At this point, it doesn't matter what you try to do.
You're a different story.
I need you to die here.
Your Transportation Ninjutsu is a nuisance.
If you want to escape on your own, you can go right ahead.
If you think you can leave the Hokage behind, that is.
You damn bastard!
Run, Sasuke!
Hurry!
Naruto!
It's impossible to defeat this guy right now!
At this rate, we'll both be done for!
You need to escape without me!
There should be some way to defeat him right now.
Without you, it will all be hopeless!
I feel the same way without you, Sasuke!
Don't worry about it.
I won't go down that easily!
Go!
Sasuke!
Sasuke?!
Don't you die…Naruto!
Too bad for you.
Even if you can track Kawaki with your Karma,
you can't tell where Sasuke is.
You must have been quite busy up until now, Lord Seventh.
Enjoy this little extension of your life in complete darkness.
It will be the end the next time we meet.
If you're still alive, that is.
You better remember those words!
'Cuz I'm gonna feed them right back to you!
I've expended more than I thought.
What's this?
Does your body hurt, Jigen?
Shedding tears? You're pathetic…
You're not worthy of being Isshiki Otsutsuki's Vessel,
you defective failure.
I see.
That was quite informative, Jigen.
Anyway, we need to contact the Hokage's Office!
No way!
It can't be!
Stay right where you are.
I had them put up a barrier around the house.
We're not letting you out of here, Kawaki.
You're a vital part in locating Naruto.
I was the target.
Lord Seventh was taken instead of me!
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
"Proof"
They intend on eliminating Lord Seventh!
