Lord Ikada! An unidentified ship is approaching!
Boruto!
Conflicting Feelings
What did he come here to do?!
Should we attack?
No. Wait.
Let me handle this.
Hey, Ikada!
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Take a look at this!
It's one of Boss Kajiki's ships.
When I told him I was going to see you,
he lent me one of his precious ships.
Is that so?
That explains why I thought I'd seen it before.
Ikada!
You okay doing that to Boss Kajiki's ship?!
That ship was an eyesore.
Also, this means you can't go back.
Check on what the enemy is doing.
Yes, sir.
What do you want from me?
If it's about something ridiculous, I'm not gonna listen.
I'll kill you guys right here.
I came here to tell you to stop this war.
Boruto, was it?
And here I was wondering what you were going to say.
I knew it. It was something ridiculous.
Hear me out, Ikada!
Before I came here, I met with Old Man Mizukage.
He promised me that the Hidden Mist would withdraw
if you pulled back your troops.
That's why—!
Huh?
Did you really think we would take the Mizukage's word at face value?
He can't fool us with his smooth talking!
That's right.
We won't accept their demands
and we have no intention of putting away our swords.
Boruto?
Furthermore, I don't trust your claim that
the Hidden Mist would put away their swords.
That's...
Don't you think it's unreasonable to expect me to trust you?
I knew it.
Reasoning with the Funato is impossible.
What should we do?
Should we watch a little longer?
Or perhaps?
We haven't reached the time limit we promised them just yet.
Is that all you have to say?
Hey, you destroyed the ship these guys sailed in on, right?
Whatever the case, you won't leave here alive.
I'll leave the rest to you.
You understand, don't you?
Yeah.
It's about time.
They should be arriving soon.
That's the situation, Boruto.
Get ready.
Was this what you wanted to do?
Hey, Ikada, how long do you intend on continuing this war?
How long?
Isn't it obvious?
Until one side goes down.
That's the meaning of war, isn't it?
Am I wrong?
Why does that need to be the case? Ikada!
Stop. I came to talk.
We know that, but...
You guys too.
Hey, Ikada...
Did you forget?
You talked to me about all kinds of things.
Like your dreams for the future.
That did happen, didn't it?
You wanted to connect the islands by ship!
You talked so passionately about it.
That's right.
I wanted to build a large ship someday.
Yeah, and you would transport goods
and travel with people all over the world.
In order to make that dream come true,
I learned from Boss Kajiki on how to build ships.
That's right.
That used to be your dream!
Don't you want your dream to come true?
There's no reason why we should be fighting now!
That's all over.
My fairytale of a dream is over!
And it's because of you all!
I was reborn the moment you killed my big sister Seiren!
According to the fishermen,
Boruto and the others went aboard a Funato warship.
What? Why?!
Damn it. They're going to be killed.
He really is a big idiot, isn't he?
Sarada and Mitsuki are with him,
so they can take care of things if they get bad, but...
Let us quickly join up with them!
There is no point in standing around here.
Fine with me. We'll go.
This might be the best chance
to get my revenge on those Funato bastards.
You killed my big sister, my big brother, and Funamushi!
There's no way I can forgive you for that!
Even if I kill the Hidden Mist or you guys,
my hatred will never end!
Ikada!
My big sister was very important to me!
I was weak, but she always protected me!
I was the only member of my family without powers, so I felt inferior.
I turned my back on my clan
and chose the path of a ship builder.
That's because it was something you wanted, right?
Wasn't that your dream?
Am I wrong?
You're wrong.
That was only an excuse.
I was only trying to convince myself that was the reason!
That wasn't a dream.
It was an escape route.
I was just trying to run away from my weakness!
Because of my sister's death,
the Funato blood that lay dormant inside of me has been awakened.
I won't run away anymore.
My big sister, my big brother, and Funamushi may have died,
but I will lead the Funato together with my father,
using this power in their place!
That's what I've decided.
Until an amount equal to the blood shed from the Funato—no!
Until double the amount of blood flows from the Mist,
I will not put away my sword.
I obtained this power so that I could defeat you all!
It's almost time.
We've entered firing range.
The destruction of the Shinonome 1 will mark our victory.
Ikada... you—!
Lord Chojuro!
That's—!
That mobile fortress...
It's the one that previously destroyed
our frontline base, correct?
I'm well aware of its destructive power.
Yes.
If they fire from that range,
the Shinonome 1 will be obliterated.
Is the Chakra Cannon charged up?
It will be shortly.
Let's head to the mobile fortress.
Yes, sir!
Once it's done charging, we'll fire on them!
We'll settle things with this.
Boruto, I don't think there's anything more you can do.
You've done more than enough.
Ikada, I understand how much you cared about your big sister!
Don't talk to me like you understand.
I do understand, ya know!
I also...
That's all the more reason why I want to stop this war.
Can you please stop killing each other, Ikada?
I'm very sorry for what happened to your big sister!
Don't apologize!
This is a war.
Even if I killed you right here,
I wouldn't apologize to your friends.
Do you understand, Boruto?
Get that through your stupid head of yours
and get out of my sight.
Hey, Ikada.
It seems like you've changed quite a bit,
but I still believe in you, ya know.
I still believe that you're someone I can get through to.
Hey!
I've abandoned my past.
I have nothing more to say.
Ikada, we understand your desire
to avenge the death of your big sister.
Huh? What are you saying at this point?
Didn't you come here to try
and convince me to abandon my resentment?
That's exactly why!
We're saying that we understand the pain of losing your big sister!
We've also lost people important to us in this war.
But we're trying to put aside those feelings
to prevent us from harming one another
and losing even more people who are important to us.
That's what Boruto is trying to say!
Same goes for the Shinonome project.
You say that the Shinonome 1 is unnecessary
and harms the sea, right?
But there are also people who need it.
Everyone has things they want to say or do.
Their principles and opinions may be different,
but if you talk things out—
Shut up!
Boruto, can you say the same thing to him?
Make way!
A kid?!
This is to avenge my dad!
You said your name was Kobuna, right?
Yeah, he's the son of Funamushi, the man you guys killed!
Thanks to you, I realized something.
It's true.
We defeated your dad.
And that was because he killed Kagura.
When that happened, we felt we had to avenge Kagura.
We swore an oath to ourselves.
But...
if you get revenge,
you end up creating the need for more revenge.
There's no end to it.
And that's why I felt I had to put an end to it.
He's just like me when I lost Kagura.
I finally realized that.
I'm asking you if we can put an end to this.
Shut up!
I'll never forgive you guys!
Take a look.
He'll probably never abandon his hatred until he kills you guys.
Once the flame of revenge has been lit,
it won't be extinguished by your lies.
Don't you think it's pointless to continue doing this?
Pointless?
What a foolish question.
Even now, the Funato and the Hidden Mist
have been at war because of those feelings.
But this time, with the power of the Funato... my power...
We can destroy the Shinonome 1
and defeat the Mizukage and the Hidden Mist.
Like I said earlier,
that's what will end this war for me.
Do you get it?
Hatred can't be stopped and will never disappear.
It seems he failed to reason with them.
Ikada...
Boruto,
you can't get through to him.
Yeah.
Boruto, I have a proposal.
If you accept it, I'll consider putting away my sword.
Tell me what it is.
If you want this to end...
then bring me the head of the Mizukage.
I was wondering what he was going to say.
What's the matter?
We've suffered quite a bit at the hands of the Mizukage.
Normally, his head wouldn't be enough to suffice.
But this is a special offer.
There's no way we can accept that proposal.
That's impossible.
I don't believe the Funato will lay down their swords so easily.
What will you do then if they refuse?
I can't give you Old Man Chojuro's head.
In that case, we have nothing more to talk about.
But instead...
I'll give you my life.
What?!
Even I'm scared of dying.
But I'm not the only one.
Everyone who's died...
People who've lost their friends...
They were probably scared too.
We can't let this war continue.

someone has to take on all this pain.
