I'm surprised you found us.
It wasn't all me...
It was thanks to my friends— and our combined strength.
Your friends?
Those brats?
I probably should've killed them when I had the chance.
Are you really... not Hana Sensei?
Hana Sensei?
She's nothing but a personality meant to serve as my cover.
So I could carry out my mission, that is.
What did you say?!
Your Hana Sensei is asleep in here.
She's telling the truth!
Even though they share the same body,
Hana Sensei didn't know about any of this!
She has multiple personalities?!
You're never going to see "Hana Sensei" ever again.
Fire Style: Chaotic Petals!
You two!
We'll get nowhere if this keeps up!
I risked everything for this mission.
For the past decade or so, I hid myself in the Leaf—
within this weakling Hana!
I won't let you get in my way at this point!
I can't hold back against her!
But if she dies, then Hana Sensei will too!
Farewell, Academy!
If I die, your beloved Hana Sensei will die too.
No way!
That said, I've sealed her personality deep within me,
so she's practically as good as dead.
Kawaki?!
Right now, we have to prioritize defeating her and then saving Kae.
But then Hana Sensei will be—!
Carelessly holding back will be life-threatening...
for you and Kae.
Maybe you should be more worried about yourself!
Not bad!
However—!
Himawari!
See? I knew it!
You know, I've still got Hana Sensei's memories...
my surprisingly kind and sweet Kawaki!
No way!
This is what you get for bringing dead weight with you.
Wha—?!
This is payback...
for that swap you pulled on me!
Curses!
EXPLODE
Take this!
Don't do it, Kawaki!
Thank you.
Are you all right?
I didn't want to use this...
Wind Style: Obscuring Paper
She disappeared?!
What is this?
A scattering of dark paper?!
Damn it! Where the hell are you?!
You can't see through this jutsu, can you?
Now then, I'll end this for you!
Let's head for the harbor.
We have to try and get word out to the Village!
But we don't have a ship!
It can be a small boat or anything.
Let's just look for something!
I agree!
There!
She shouldn't have enough chakra
to sustain such a massive jutsu for very long!
So, as long as we stall, we should—
Should you really be wasting your time?
What do you mean?!
She said a ship is coming to pick her up!
That's right.
A ship carrying several jonin-level individuals
is coming from the mainland.
What did you say?!
With them, I can deal with all of you and leave
without the Leaf even realizing what happened.
However...
Kawaki!
This might all be settled before they arrive!
It'll be all right, Himawari...
Don't panic.
What?
You should be able to see where she is.
But I still can't use my Byakugan very well.
You're my partner, right?
Huh?
You and I.
Since that's the case, I trust you.
We'll win this together!
Uh-huh!
Kawaki!
Anything you do is useless.
You're just standing there!
At this rate, the both of them will be...
EXPLODE
Take this!
EXPLODE
How useless!
She's left an opening!
Locked on!
There you are!
Damn it!
Impossible! This can't be happening!
You really underestimated...
Himawari... and Kae!
Just a little more time...
Just a little more
and I'll be rewarded for my efforts for the past decade.
But despite that—!
Shut up!
She—Hana doesn't have anything to do with that!
The jutsu's unraveling!
Hana Sensei!
Don't worry...
She won't be able to move for a while, though...
True, but it's too late now!
Time's up.
The ship should have arrived on the island already.
You lose!
No way!
Himawari!
Hey!
Kawaki!
Miss Kae, are you okay?!
Everyone?!
What are you all doing here?!
I was able to come straight here thanks to these kids.
Unfortunately, your associates have been overpowered
by the Anbu Black Ops.
Milady!
Are you all right?!
Yes, I'm fine...
We're going to keep you restrained.
I guess it's all over.
Including my long battle.
But since it's come to this, I'm not dying alone!
Is she trying to destroy herself?
Don't do it!
Wait!
What's this?!
What's going on?
Is she doing this—?!
I sealed her away!
How?!
You're exhausted.
Do you still have enough strength to suppress Hana?
Hana Sensei!
Sensei!
Hana Sensei is fighting!
What?!
Hana Sensei was being used by the assassin's personality!
Does that mean she has multiple personalities?!
But she's desperately fighting her now!
Let's call her back!
Please! Listen to our voices!
It's no good. She's going to destroy herself first.
Get away from here.
We won't know for sure unless we try!
Hana Sensei!
Hana Sensei! Come back!
Hana Sensei!
Hana Sensei! I want to talk to you more!
Hana Sensei!
Hana Sensei! Let's hold another flower viewing party!
Hana Sensei!
Our teacher is—
That's right... Our Hana Sensei...
...is a little unreliable...
...but she always tries her best...
...and though she's not always successful...
...she's kind to everyone!
Even when the whole class was fighting...
...she was the one who got us to make up!
And even during the school festival...
...she worked hard late into the night!
We still want to...
...spend time with her!
We want to smile with her...
...at the Academy!
So, please come back!
Hana Sensei!
Don't give up, Hana Sensei!
Hana Sensei!
They need you!
Don't give up here!
Thank you!
Truly!
Everyone!
Thank you!
Hana Sensei!
This is unexpected.
Hana Sensei was stronger.
That's all it means.
Thank you!
FIRE
This was carefully prepared over the span of a decade...
I'd say it was a well prepared plan!
Yeah.
If we hadn't reviewed the backgrounds
of everyone involved,
we would have been in trouble.
With this, the minister's scheme is completely finished.
You did well, Kawaki.
I couldn't tackle it with my strength alone.
Rather...
it was something other than strength that saved the day.
It seems you learned something at the Academy, after all.
That's none of your business.
Well, regarding Hana's punishment...
For her own sake,
we offered to eliminate her other personality, but...
HOSPITAL
While watching the battle from inside my mind,
I realized something.
My other self has only ever lived to accomplish her mission.
She's never known anything else.
In a way, she's like a child.
That's why...
She intends to keep her locked away in her mind using a Sealing Jutsu
and take the time to have a dialogue with her.
Is that really safe?
Even though she can't take control of her body anymore...
If that's what she decided,
I'd like to respect her wishes, ya know.
They might even come to an understanding someday.
Well, if you say so.
So, what's Hana going to do now?
She says she wants to continue being a teacher.
Though I doubt she'll be able to go back to that right away.
Is that all right?
Even though her actions were done by a different personality,
this must put the Land of Bamboo in an awkward position.
The princess has personally sent us a petition.
It means she wants the truth to be kept under wraps.
I see.
It seems she really was a good teacher.
Concerning Princess Kae...
Yeah...
She's apparently scheduled to return home.
Anyway, it's unfortunate, but...
I have to leave the Academy.
No way, Miss Kae!
I wish you could stay a while longer!
My father's collapsed
and someone has to govern the Land of Bamboo in his place.
Miss Kae...
I also need to protect my little brother,
who was dragged into this chaotic event.
That's an admirable reason.
After saying that, there's no way we'd stop you.
Everyone!
Hey, before Kae leaves, why don't we do "that"?
What do you mean by "that"?
The play!
The one for the school festival that got cancelled!
I think that's a great idea!
We did all those rehearsals, after all.
Let's do it all together!
We'll even get Hana Sensei to come!
Let's make it the best play ever!
But getting everyone together is gonna be...
Kawaki...
Honestly, he's so cold.
Once we learned about his real identity,
he stopped coming to the Academy.
Are we going to do the play without Kawaki?
What are we going to do about the part of Katsuyu?
Should we just use a cardboard cut-out?
What a great idea!
I feel bad for him!
Should I do it?
Kawaki...
In the end, Kawaki didn't come, did he?
I guess it was just part of his mission, after all.
That's not true.
I'm sure he just got lost.
If he's not coming, it can't be helped.
This Katsuyu drone can act better than him!
Oh, really? I'm not gonna ignore what you just said.
Kawaki?!
Kawaki!
Oh... Sorry I'm late.
Do you still have my costume?
Yeah!
Miss Kae...
Thank goodness!
THUNDER
Take care over there, Miss Kae.
I will. Same to you, Hana Sensei.
Miss Kae, someday, I'll become a respectable shinobi
and I'll go see you in the Land of Bamboo...
Send us letters, okay?!
I'll print them in my newspaper!
The next time we meet, I'll be a great actress.
Do your best as well.
Thank you, everyone!
Kawaki skipped out on our send-off, didn't he?
Perhaps he's embarrassed.
He's surprisingly shy, after all.
Milady, it's about time.
I wanted to say goodbye to him.
It'll probably be all right.
What?
Take care!
Farewell!
It was... really fun.
Milady...
You made amazing and irreplaceable friends.
What a wonderful academic experience.
See you again!
Bye-bye!
Thank you, everyone!
I'll never forget you!
Kawaki!
I'm going to do my very best!
Good luck with your missions!
I met you...
and got to talk to you...
and made lots of memories with so many friends!
Thank you so much!
Well, I'm going now!
You've totally become engrossed with the Academy, haven't you?
Yeah, because it's so much fun
studying and spending time with friends!
I'm glad to hear that, ya know!
Does that mean you're gonna become a shinobi?
I'm still not sure about that.
But the Academy is where I can try out all sorts of things
and think about that, right?!
That's very mature of her.
Yeah, much more than Boruto was.
Shut up, ya know!
What?!
That's not it!
A long distance hawk, huh?
Never heard of them!
It's a legendary hawk
that's said to be able to fly a thousand distances overnight.
We're going to go find one.
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
A FLIGHTLESS HAWK
"A Flightless Hawk."
