The Spiral of Revenge
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.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Your life isn't worth enough to stop this war.
You may be right.
But this is all I can do!
Boruto!
Do you understand what you're even saying?!
You can't do that, Boruto!
I absolutely need to stop this war.
Even if it costs me my life.
I feel the same way and I want to stop it too.
But Boruto...
If it means getting you killed, that's a different story.
I can't afford to lose you.
Very well.
I'll think about it.
But it all depends on what you guys do.
If you're able to stand back quietly and watch as Boruto dies,
I'll consider it.
We can't do that!
Stop messing around!
In that case,
I'm just going to start an all-out war.
Is the Chakra Cannon done charging?
It will be complete shortly.
Please just stand back and watch.
No way!
I can't let you do that!
You're going to die!
Even I'm scared of dying.
But I'm not the only one who's scared.
Everyone who has died in the war was probably scared.
And it must have saddened everyone...
who lost their friends...
We can't let this war continue any longer.
But this is—!
We were trying to save others from pain and hate,
but we ended up intensifying this war...
In order to stop this completely,
someone has to take on all this pain.
And you're fine with being the one to do that?
It includes you two as well.
Don't seek revenge out of the sadness
caused by the deaths of your friends.
Please!
Are you done talking?
Yeah.
Please wait, Lord Ikada!
What's the matter?
He's the one who disgracefully killed Lord Funamushi.
He doesn't deserve an easy death!
I see...
Boruto!
Don't.
Restrain yourselves!
Don't think that this satisfies our grudge!
This is for all of our friends who've died!
Ikada sure came up with something fun!
That idiot!
What is he thinking?!
I'm going to kill that bastard Araumi and end this.
It's only a matter of time
before they won't be able to hold back.
You're still alive, kid?
Well, we can't let you die before we get even
for what you did to Lord Funamushi.
Please stop!
Boruto!
I can't take this anymore!
The same goes for me too.
Boruto!
I guess this means you've given up.
Boruto...
It seems they can't bear the pain of losing a friend.
Seems your desire to end this war was nothing but talk—
Step away, Sarada.
This is fine.
Hey, Boruto.
Even if you offer them your life...
do you think the Funato will stop fighting?
Can you trust the Funato?
That's not what this is about.
I'm not giving them my life
because I can guarantee what will happen.
I'm doing this because this war needs to be stopped completely.
Kagura gave his life to protect us for the same reason.
I'm giving them my life
because that's what I know I need to do!
Boruto!
Let's continue.
Wait.
It's obvious who should give the killing strike.
The currents in this area are unpredictable.
Once you fall in, you'll never resurface.
Rejoice.
I've prepared a stage especially for you.
I see.
I'm sorry. Please take care of everything.
Boruto!
All right... With this, please stop the war.
Will you be able to keep yourselves from seeking revenge?
I believe we should assume that negotiations have broken down.
Begin preparations to attack the mobile fortress.
I'm worried about Boruto,
but we cannot allow the Funato to make the first move.
Yes, sir!
Boruto...
Your determination is simply naïve!
Naiveté will not stop war!
The Funato's ship is within sight!
What the hell is that?
There's someone on the side of the boat.
Father, watch me.
You'll finally be avenged.
I've been wanting to say this about your father.
I'm sorry for what happened.
Begging for your life at this point?!
I was once just like you. I wanted vengeance.
But I want this hatred to end here.
That's not for you to decide!
Please...
End this hatred?
Seems like you're suppressing your emotions right now,
but how long will that last?
Even if you die, this war will not end.
No, they're going to be fine.
Also, at the very least, this will quell your anger.
If I'm all that's needed to stop all this killing,
that's more than enough.
I'm really sorry for getting you involved in this.
Don't worry.
You don't need to get any blood on your hands.
Boruto!
Well done, Kobuna!
That looked like Boruto just now.
If you fall into these currents, you won't survive!
Damn it!
Denki, hurry!
Got it!
That's one down!
But that's still not enough!
Next up, the Mizukage!
What's the matter?
Aren't you gonna fight back?
Your friend just died.
And your target for revenge is right here!
What's this? You're not gonna do anything?
It seems they're just cowards who can't even avenge their friend.
You cowards!
Why won't they do anything?
Don't you hate us?!
Don't you want to kill us?!
We hate you!
Ever since I was little, he was always by my side.
We played together and got into many fights.
Even if we weren't related by blood,
he was like a brother to me.
Then try to cut me down.
I'm defenseless.
Feel free to take your revenge... as much as you want!
Lord Ikada?!
I know better than anyone
about the pain of losing someone important.
And I know that it's not something you can suppress!
Is Boruto's death worth so little to you?!
Aren't you sad?!
We are sad!
I'm so sad my chest feels like it's getting crushed!
In that case, do it!
You hate me, right?
Do it!
That's right.
Revenge can't be stopped.
I'm sad, so I won't seek revenge.
Sarada...
He said he didn't want anyone to feel sad anymore.
If we fight you now,
Boruto's wishes would be in vain.
Lord Ikada!
I did the right thing, didn't I?
It was good that I avenged my father, right?
Please tell me I did the right thing!
Big Sis!
Why aren't they doing anything?
That was Lord Ikada!
Did he leap into the currents?!
I couldn't stop him!
He knows there's no way of surviving once you go in.
Am... I alive?
You win.
Your friends didn't seek revenge.
I knew they wouldn't.
But this isn't about winning or losing, ya know.
Right?
Boruto!
You're overreacting.
What are you talking about?!
I never want to experience this ever again!
I'm sorry, ya know.
That idiot!
What do you think you're doing?
Why did you save him?!
It's because they didn't seek revenge.
This war is over. We're withdrawing our ships.
Are you serious?!
Yeah.
Then why did Lady Seiren and Lord Funamushi have to die?!
Why did countless numbers of our friends have to die?
We can't give up on seeking vengeance
on the Hidden Mist because of this!
Let's stop this already.
What did you say?!
Say that one more time!
Are you a coward?!
And you call yourself a Funato?!
I don't want my children to get drawn into all of this killing!
You're all a disgrace to the Funato!
You've disappointed me.
Ikada!
How much longer to charge the Chakra Cannon?
It's complete.
Then hurry up and destroy the Shinonome 1!
But sir, the war is already—!
Move outta the way!
I'll do it.
This shot marks the beginning of this war!
This war's over.
No matter how many sacrifices we make,
the Funato will fight until the very end!
You're supposed to be a pirate...
Why can't you read the tides?
You've already lost to Ikada and Boruto!
Everyone! Let's go assist Lord Araumi.
Will your dead friends forgive you for giving up on this war?!
Kagura said that he would turn the village he grew up in
into a symbol of peace for the Land of Water someday.
We've been killing each other since the time of our ancestors!
A "symbol of peace" is just a joke!
Even if that's true right now...
the future is different!
We'll make it possible for everyone to smile together...
No matter how long it takes...
We'll prove it to you!
We definitely will!
What should we do, Lord Chojuro?
I should be ashamed for dismissing Boruto's determination as naiveté.
Are you fine with not avenging Kagura?
Kagura was trying to protect people and make them happy.
He wasn't trying to kill anyone.
My anger had twisted his wishes.
I still have much to learn.
What should we do?
Should we still seek revenge for Mr. Kagura and Miss Hebiichigo?
I lost many people who were important to me.
But...
I'm tired of hating and being hated.
It's better to talk to each other... instead of hating each other.
Besides, I think it's better if everyone can keep smiling.
You know...
I wanted to laugh and talk with you like this again.
Thanks for all your hard work.
I received the report from Chojuro.
Is the Land of Water all right?
What happened was very chaotic.
It's probably going to take a while until things calm down.
Dad, what happened to Ikada?
