Mr. Kiseru...
are you really working for Ouga?
Did you kill Batta and Fugou?!
Who told you that nonsense?
It was Rokuro.
He said that they were already dead when he found them.
You're the only other person who could have done it!
You trust Rokuro more than me?
Well, whatever.
Batta noticed that you had a hidden communication device.
Did you kill her to keep that secret?
Did you take the device back from her?
If I'm wrong, then tell me, Mr. Kiseru!
SUM
Damn it!
Breakthrough
He's so cool.
Are you talking about Boruto?
Even I know...
that it looks really cool to hand over my tag the way he did.
But I couldn't.
Even though I'm aware of that, I was too scared to move.
It's the same for everyone.
He's different.
I guess that's what it means to be the lead.
No matter how much I admire them, I can't become one myself.
At best, I'm a nameless side character.
His wounds are deeper than we thought.
Wait right here!
Rokuro, do you have any first aid supplies?
Namua's not doing well.
Why would I have stuff like that?
Where are the others?
Yatsume is with us.
Boruto went out to look for Kiseru.
To steal his tag?
Not just that.
Kiseru might be working for Ouga.
More importantly, I need to help Namua!
We finally found an exit.
Huh?
It seems...
the end...
is approaching for me.
That's not true!
Ever since the moment I was tainted by sin...
I haven't been able to sleep peacefully.
If it's possible, I wish...
I could sleep once more without being haunted by nightmares...
The gate is closing.
This is bad!
Hey, Yatsume!
Why is Rokuro with you?
Well, you see...
If Kiseru is working for Ouga,
then we'll make him tell us how to leave.
That's our only sure way out.
But the gate's already...
Namua!
Ouga said that the experiment will end once the gate closes.
Leave this to me and hurry!
Go...
Boruto is waiting for you!
But...
I've committed many sins...
This is my atonement!
Let's go, Yatsume.
Go.
Yes.
Now I can finally...
peacefully...
Damn it, I can't connect here either.
Please get through!
I'm in a bad spot right now!
So, you had it after all.
I just took back what was stolen from me.
If you want it, you can have it.
I don't need it anyway.
That's not the point!
I just want to know who you are!
We'd like to know as well.
You guys!
Where's Mr. Namua?
He...
He sacrificed himself so we could come here.
Down one, huh?
That means there are only four of you left.
You said that you wanted to
soak in a hot spring once you got out of here.
Was that a lie?!
Yeah...
A lie to make my job easier.
Now, tell us how to get out of here.
I'm sick of dealing with these ridiculous experiments.
Fire Style: Deep Infernal Explosion!
He's our only key to getting out of this maze!
Don't let him get away!
I had no idea there was a space like this underground.
If we don't hurry, he'll get away!
Perhaps it's just the opposite.
Earth Style: Mud Wave!
Shamo!
Let's get somewhere safe.
I figured you were lying in wait!
You're right.
He's different from earlier!
Fire Style: Flame Bombs!
He disappeared?!
Seems like you've had an abdominal injury since the beginning.
Only a second-rate shinobi would fail to hide their injuries.
You'll be the first to go.
Not gonna happen!
Rokuro!
Kiseru's planning on separating us, so he can take us down one by one.
What an idiot!
Returning to the scene of the accident?
Probably to confirm what happened to the trap they set for me.
Let's get 'em before they rendezvous with their team.
When did they get here?
K-Kiseru!
What happened to you?!
Shamo, run away!
I couldn't do something so uncool.
Yatsume, you're first.
So, that's... your true face...
You've been wearing a mask this entire time...
Are you going to beg for your life?
Beg for my life?
Hardly.
Lighting Style: Lightning Eel!
Nice job, Yatsume!
No way...
Now you've done it.
Stop, Mr. Kiseru!
Try to stop me if you can!
Earth Style: Earthen Stone Shoots!
Hang in there, Yatsume!
I'm all right.
That person... isn't Kiseru.
I've never seen... such cold eyes before.
Stop him.
Yeah.
What?
No way...
As expected... they're formidable.
Hey!
Are you admitting defeat after one setback?
They aren't our enemies.
They're Leaf ANBU.
Disengage from battle formation.
The higher-ups have given us permission
to share intel with them.
Who are you?
We're Leaf jonin
from the Five Great Nations' Joint Investigation Team.
We've been looking into the recent mass disappearances
that have been happening in various places.
What is that?
Kiseru dropped it earlier.
It looks like a mission brief...
Whoa, this can't be for real, can it?
We're investigating the identity of a shinobi known as Kiseru.
Are you doing the same as well?
We know that man.
Kiseru Gankubi is a member of our investigative team.
Kiseru Gankubi is a member of our investigative team,
and an undercover agent we sent in to investigate the incidents.
You mean Kiseru wasn't an Outer for the Kara?
He's most certainly an Outer.
However, he's a spy we sent in to learn more about them.
Then the mastermind behind the disappearances...
We suspect it's perpetrated by a remnant of Kara.
Where is Kiseru?!
If he has info on Kara, then he needs to give us answers.
He was given a communication device,
but we've lost contact with him.
It's not just Kiseru.
Up to now, we've sent in countless elite jonin,
but every one of them has gone missing.
Jonin have?!
There's only one piece of information
they've sent back to us...
"Don't trust anything."
What does that mean?
We don't know.
I've been waiting for you, Mr. Kiseru.
So, Kiseru wasn't working for Ouga!
Boruto's fighting him, oblivious to that fact.
We need to let him know right away.
I guess, in this situation, I'm the only one who can do that.
Lend me your shoulder...
We need to let Boruto know.
What are you saying? You're in no shape to do that.
I want to stop those two, so please.
I'll go.
Shamo...
Yatsume, you wait here!
At first, I couldn't believe it...
I didn't want to believe it!
I couldn't believe you were working for Ouga!
But this isn't an illusion at all!
An illusion?
It's strange that the communication device can't get a signal here...
Also, before the experiment started,
we all were knocked unconscious.
"Don't trust anything."
I get it!
So, that's what "don't trust anything" meant!
No matter what we do, we can't escape from this reality.
Please help our investigation.
A friend of ours is among the missing!
If Boruto is with Kiseru,
they might be working together.
That's not possible.
You seem quite confident of that.
Taking on an undercover mission
means that you can never reveal your identity.
You can't reveal anything about your mission,
even to those you trust.
Damn it!
Kiseru also has a very personal motive.
He volunteered for the mission to save his best friend
who had gone missing during the undercover investigation.
His friend was the one who delivered
our only piece of information, "don't trust anything."
Kiseru can use advanced medical ninjutsu.
Even if his friend was dying of serious injuries,
he could still save him.
If he's that skilled, then there's still hope.
He probably couldn't contact you
because of a malfunction in his comm device.
I hope that's the case.
What do you mean?
An undercover investigation is a battle against solitude.
You're unable to reveal your identity to anyone
and you arouse suspicion in those around you...
Constantly dealing with that will wear you down mentally.
That's what we're worried about.
What's so funny?!
What could be funnier?
Everything is a lie.
You're not being rational!
Yeah, that's right.
How can I be rational under these circumstances?!
I can't let you get away with this!
You pretended to be our friend,
but you were actually laughing at us!
Very well, Boruto!
Let's end this ridiculous experience once and for all.
Ouch!
Risking my life for something like this...
This isn't like me!
What am I doing?!
Grandma...
A Shadow Clone?!
It's over.
Stop!
This is all a misunderstanding!
Rasengan!
There's no need to fight!
Shamo!
Why did you do that?!
Here.
Kiseru isn't working for Ouga.
An undercover investigation...
I'm glad I made it in time.
I couldn't be a lead, though.
That's enough! Stop talking!
But, I saved my friend.
That at least makes me an outstanding supporting character, right?
I almost killed an ally...
It's all thanks to you, Shamo!
Sorry, Boruto.
Someone tried to make it look like I killed Batta.
So, I couldn't trust anyone...
Mr. Kiseru?
This is my only option now.
Hey...
This is bad!
Boruto!
Why did... you do that?
To escape this fake world.
This maze is genjutsu.
I leave the rest in your hands, Boruto!
Where am I?
What does it mean...
that everything up to now was genjutsu?
Boruto, what's going on?
Everything was genjutsu.
Genjutsu?!
But we saw everyone fall right in front of our eyes!
Even you, Boruto!
When Mr. Kiseru stabbed me, the pain felt different.
He was probably the only one who knew it was genjutsu.
Is there a way to wake everyone up?
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
THE EIGHTH TRUTH
"The Eighth Truth."
We have to defeat Ouga.
That's the only way.
