Denki and the others haven't come back yet?
They have not...
I know you're anxious,
but we have no idea when the Funato will attack.
You should get some rest, Metal.
I am always at full power!
Do not worry!
Denki and Iwabe were captured?!
Yeah!
All of a sudden, they surrounded us while we were gathering food!
The big brothers helped us escape.
But they got—!
It's the Funato.
They're pirates, after all.
Since they got 'em, it wouldn't be a surprise if they get killed.
It's only a question of when...
But we don't know what's going on yet!
Did you forget how Funamushi killed Kagura?
I'd like to believe that they're all right, though...
No, they are both all right.
I know Denki and Iwabe better than anyone.
They would not let themselves be taken out so easily.
Metal...
If we lose, they will not have a place to return to.
For now, let us prepare for the battle against Funamushi.
Yeah.
Another Fierce Battle
I found them!
Their numbers are reduced, but there's no mistake.
It's Funamushi's Unit!
Are Denki and Iwabe with them?
No, I don't see them.
This is to avenge Kagura!
We're going to take that bastard, Funamushi, down!
Avenging Kagura is important,
but protecting the village is just as important.
Let's get prepared immediately.
Sorry for cramming you all in here, again.
You're trying to protect us, right?
We understand.
Ever since Kagura was killed, we've been feeling upset as well.
We're very grateful that you're fighting for us.
Please avenge Kagura!
Please!
Yeah, I'll take down Funamushi!
There are 20 in front and ten flanking them on each side.
Even though there are fewer enemies,
it doesn't feel that way.
In fact, after taking down Kagura, they seem more intent on fighting.
I feel like I can sense their bloodthirst from here.
This is why I can't stand you serious types.
What do you want?
If you came here to tease me, I have enough on my plate.
You don't know what will happen until the battle begins.
So, what's the point in being so tense beforehand?
Thank you.
But as captain,
I have a responsibility to ensure that no shinobi or villager dies.
No matter what happens.
In the next battle,
the enemy will be coming at us with a death wish.
We must do our best to defend the village and everyone in it!
Your clothes!
Nothing is wrong!
Th-That was mean!
Your loud talking while I'm trying to concentrate
in preparation for battle,
is a nuisance!
Try to relax a bit more.
I am sorry.
I am more nervous than usual.
I need to protect this village if I want to see
Denki and Iwabe again.
I absolutely must!
We've all finally connected as friends!
I'll give my life for the sake of my friends!
I've experienced countless battles up to now.
And many shinobi, more powerful than I, have perished.
Do you know how I survived?
No.
I didn't have the foolish desire...
to sacrifice myself to save another.
If you don't want to die,
only think about yourself in battle.
Miss Hebiichigo...
What are they doing?
Why aren't Funamushi and his unit attacking?
Iwabe and Denki were searching for food.
Maybe they figured out our situation from that.
Maybe they're trying to starve us out?
That's a possibility.
We have barely any food left.
Who knows how many days we can hold out without food or drink?
Damn it!
No, I don't think that's the case.
What do you mean?
That bastard Funamushi said...
he was avenging Seiren.
That's probably the reason why he went directly after Kagura.
If that's the case, rather than bothering with
something so tedious as starving us out...
he'll come kill us himself.
Yeah. I'm not positive, though.
It feels like Funamushi is waiting for something.
Damn it!
This silence is especially creepy.
Whatever the case, we need to prepare,
so we're ready to fight at any time.
What are you going to do about Funamushi's Water Style?
I doubt sealing up all the sources of water will be enough.
We managed dealing with him then because Kagura was around.
About that...
I feel like I've seen a similar jutsu before.
Mitsuki, there's something I want to ask you.
What is it?
The smell of the tide...
Our chance is finally upon us.
Tomorrow morning, we'll attack their village!
Tomorrow morning, sir?
B-But our numbers are depleted from the previous battle
and your body still hasn't fully healed!
Also, it still wouldn't be too late to attack the village
even if this opportunity passes us by.
It's already been more than a day
since we ignored that direct order from Lord Araumi to withdraw.
If we wait any longer,
he'll try to bring us back by force.
I see...
I hadn't thought of that.
If we miss this opportunity to fully avenge Lady Seiren,
we won't get another one.
Tomorrow, we will definitely
offer that Leaf brat's head to Lady Seiren!
Look!
They're making a move!
Metal and Hebiichigo!
Buntan and Kyoho!
Get to the frontline to engage them!
I'll leave it to you to get the guys we missed last time.
Team 7 will deal with them!
Are you two really okay with
being left in charge of fighting Funamushi?
That bastard Funamushi is coming for me.
Since that's the case, I'll take him head on, ya know.
Don't get cold feet!
It's time to sacrifice your lives for Lady Seiren!
Be grateful.
I'm not going to kill you.
It does not matter how many of you come at me,
the result will be the same.
You're doing pretty well despite being so nervous.
However...
it seems this battle is just getting started!
None shall... pass!
Damn it! These guys can fight!
Even though there are less of them,
they're more bloodthirsty than before.
Since they survived, it must mean they're the best out of the elites.
You half-wit! Do you want to die?!
I am sorry.
They're pushing through!
Their numbers are a bit too much for us to handle.
Your life is mine, damn it!
Not gonna happen that easily!
Water Style: Water Buckshot!
Stop dawdling!
Sorry!
But they went so far as to sacrifice themselves...
They didn't give their lives up in vain.
He finally showed up.
We shall offer their lives to Lady Seiren.
Also, Boruto...
When we kill you, we shall achieve our wish!
Water Style: Imminent Danger!
Are you all right?
Don't worry.
But I can't keep doing the same trick.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to beg for your lives?
Just like your friends did?
I really wish you could have seen it.
How your two friends pathetically died after begging for their lives!
You bastard!
Water Style: Jadeite!
Are you prepared to die, Boruto?
Lady Seiren will be delighted!
I knew it!
Lightning Style: Thunderclap Arrow!
I had a hunch and it turned out right.
I've seen someone use a jutsu like yours before.
Yes, that's right, Boruto.
While Suigetsu's body is in water form,
he's weak to Lightning Style.
Oh, don't tell him I told you that, okay?
Your jutsu was probably meant to be used in places
where there's an unlimited amount of water, right?
But since you can't freely access water here,
every time you use your jutsu, you have to absorb water.
If I can just figure out that timing,
hitting you with Lightning Style will be easy!
You can't use your Water Style anymore!
Shut up, you brat!
Looks like this match is settled.
I won't let you get away with what you did to Iwabe and Denki!
He's waiting for something!
Lady Seiren, everything is complete now!
I offer up Boruto Uzumaki's life to you!
Damn it! That giant tornado again?!
No, it's different from before.
What is that thing?
Water Style: Raging Jellyfish!
It's abnormally huge!
Destroy everything!
Please watch me, Lady Seiren!
I can't believe he still had a move like this up his sleeve.
Funamushi has already taken on significant damage.
If I can get close to him for a moment,
I can use my Rasengan on him!
How do we get you close to someone rampaging like that?
In short...
You just need to stop him for a moment, right?
Are you going to keep running pathetically, Boruto?
You damn brats!
Quit running around!
Looks like we did it.
There is nothing that my chakra threads cannot sew together!
But with something this big,
the chakra expenditure is greater than normal!
Hurry!
Damn it! I'm so close, but I can't get near Funamushi!
I will protect you, Miss Hebiichigo!
Now that his head's lowered, this is my only chance!
Yeah!
Curse you!
So pointless!
Miss Hebiichigo!
Curse you!
Lady Seiren, I have just avenged you!
Take this!
Rasengan!
He did it...
Boruto!
What do you think you're doing?!
I somehow managed to—!
Boruto!
This is for Kagura.
Miss Hebiichigo!
Don't worry.
You're the type who will stubbornly hold on until the end.
You won't die here...
Isn't that right?
If you're gone, Hebiichigo...
who will listen to what I have to say?
This is my fault.
If I had noticed earlier...
If I had gone to save her...
If I...
Yes...
It's your fault.
It's...
your fault...
that I discovered...
possibilities for myself...
other than fighting.
Miss Hebiichigo!
It's all thanks to you.
Thank you...
Miss Hebiichigo!
We avenged Kagura, but...
it came at a heavy price.
I decided I wouldn't let anyone die.
But we were able to save the village.
We were able to protect what Kagura wanted to protect, right?
The extent of our losses is unfathomable.
But we can start over.
What we can do right now is carry on Kagura's will, right?
However, by the time that tree grows even bigger,
this village won't be a battlefield,
but rather a symbol of peace...
Yeah, you're right.
Even though we took down Funamushi, Araumi's still alive.
We can't leave the Funato alone.
Let's join up quickly with the unit from the Mist
and annihilate the Funato.
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
BURGEONING HATRED
"Burgeoning Hatred"
The battle's not over yet.
At this rate, Kagura and Hebiichigo won't be able to rest in peace.
