Original subtitles

Potato chips.

Soda.

Cream puffs.

Sweet bean dumplings.

Did you knock off your annoying mumbling already?

How much longer are we going to have to keep walking until we reach this Rio G

cave?

And why do we have to go through all of this just to get to this place?

It's a fine meat ski.

The only one who can analyze this snake is the White Snake Sage of Ryuichi Cave.

That's why we have to do whatever it takes to get there, you know? So what's

this Ryuichi Cave place like? Or do I want to know?

Orochimaru told us.

It's a place of this world, while at the same time not of this world.

It's a secluded site where sages live and undergo rigorous training.

It's said going there out of curiosity angers the White Snake Sage, and you

won't make it out alive.

Guess there's no telling what we might stir up.

Wait, what?

Footprints. It's kind of hard to believe that there are others besides us who'd

even want to come here.

Wait, hold on.

I think these footprints actually belong to us.

What?

Listen, don't you think that we ought to turn back?

Orochimaru said only those who seek it will be able to find it.

If our will is strong...

I know we'll get to meet the White Snake Sage.

Oh, so they're going to keep going.

It seems they're not simply lost.

We can take care of this quickly.

All right, then. Let's go check them out for ourselves.

Uh, you guys, what's that light over there?

Do you think it could be Ryuichi Cave?

Hey, Boruto!

I gotta say, this is not what I pictured.

Someone's coming!

Stay alert, guy.

We've been expecting all of you to arrive.

I welcome you to Ryuichi Cave.

Thank you.

Welcome. You may call me Tagorihime.

All of you must be exhausted.

So please take advantage of this place to relax and get some rest.

Actually, my feet were getting really tired. And something smelled totally

delicious. Wait just a second. Is this really Ryuichi Cave?

Yes, of course.

So somewhere in here there's a person called the White Snake Sage, right? Yes,

there is.

Master White Snake Sage is within the temple deep inside Ryuichi Cave right

So listen.

We came to see the White Snake stage because we have something really

to ask.

Why, of course. I understand completely.

I'll go and make the arrangement, so please wait here for just a moment.

In the meantime, please partake of the feast that we've prepared.

Yes! They have food here!

You sure that it's okay to eat?

Yes, please. Help yourself.

All right!

It's my policy to not hold back when invited.

Yeah, let me ask... I'm starving, too. Hold up a sec, you guys.

Huh? What's the matter, Boruto?

Did you guys forget everything I said? I literally just told you what kind of a

place Ryuichi Cave is.

These are special dishes prepared for our esteemed guests.

They're here simply to welcome you.

No, but we gotta see... What's wrong with taking a little break?

Yeah, rumors are only rumors, right? Besides, Tagore Hime doesn't seem so

Don't you agree, Sarada?

Well, I guess that I don't see anything too unusual right now.

Yeah, the food even smells great. I think that everything's okay here. They

this for us. Let's rest and enjoy.

But listen, you guys.

Whatever. I'm going to dig in now.

Damn it.

There's simply no stopping Cho -Cho when she gets like this. You're taking too

much.

But only a little break, okay?

Now don't be shy. Please, help yourselves.

After you meet with Master Whitesnake Sage, I'm certain you'll be able to

the whereabouts of your friend, Mitsuki.

So please, go ahead and eat, Boruto.

Uh, yeah.

Wait, did you just say Mitsuki?

But how do you even know about Mitsuki?

Chocho! Inujin!

Drop it!

Huh?

You just mentioned Mitsuki's name, but I never actually said it out loud.

You're very sharp for a human. You really should have just taken a bite of

damn food.

No way.

Oh, that's so gross.

What is all this?

Just when I thought that I'd get to eat the fresh chakra of children for a

change. You lost.

They didn't succumb to your temptations.

Yes, I am well aware.

Our job is to weed out all of those who wander into Ryuichi Cave.

Of course. But unfortunately, Master Whitesnake Sage only allows us to eat

who fail our tests.

Those who come here have given themselves up to sheer madness in search

power. Don't be foolish enough to assume that you'll make it all the way to meet

with Master Whitesnake Sage.

They're gone.

Not even a trace left.

It looks like the rumors about this place were true.

Can you guys imagine what would have happened to us if we'd actually eaten

of that rotten food?

I bet they planned on paralyzing us and then eating us.

What? No way!

Huh?

They said that the white snake sage is in the temple deep inside. Does that

it's over there?

All right, I'm going in. Just you wait, white snake sage.

Hey, wait, Bordeaux!

God damn it.

I'll just get hungrier if I have to run. Oh, man.

Sarada! Shikadai!

Inujin! Chocho!

Where did everybody run off to now?

Damn it.

Hey, hold on!

Budge!

What is this all about?

Wait, is this a...

Hey, who are you?

Where are you?

My name is Ichikishimahime.

Are you with the lady from earlier? Where'd you take Sarda and... Who knows?

You're the only one that I'm interested in right now.

Come on, come and play with me.

What? Play?

If you fill in all the spaces in that boulder, I'll let you out of here.

All the stones you need are right here in this room.

If you can do it, then you win the challenge.

Is the way I came in the only exit?

Oh, and you better not be trying to trick me like that other lady did.

No way.

I'm really honest, so you can believe me when I say it's useless to try to kill

me.

Solving the puzzle is the only way out of here.

Simple, right?

You can try to fill in the spaces as many times as you'd like. Just keep

until you can't anymore.

As long as you want.

You really think I'd just give up?

On something this simple?

I don't enjoy chakra that's fresh.

I prefer chakra that's weak and just about to fade away.

I drink it all up.

I'll give you this much.

You sure are creepier than the last one.

Well, at least I'm honest.

There's no way I'm gonna get eaten.

It's one more thing.

But I can't find a stone that's the right size.

You ready to give up now?

Never.

No good.

Have you lost hope already?

There's still lots of time to spare at your own pace.

Can't be wasting so much time here like this.

I've got to see the sage to find Mitsuki.

Is that the reason why you came to Ryuichi Cave?

So you're not here to acquire the power of the sage?

No, I don't care about that kind of stuff.

I see.

Almost every other human who comes to Ryuichi Cave is after the sage's power.

I just want to know where my friend Mitsuki is. That's all.

Mitsuki, where are you now? What are you doing?

Still don't get it at all.

Of

course.

Oh, but that won't work. You tried that stone before, didn't you? I did.

It didn't fit then, but maybe if I tried this...

That's it. It's finished.

How did you know?

I just tried thinking outside the box.

If the shape doesn't fit, then make a shape that does fit, right?

What's in front of your eyes isn't everything.

You only think it's everything.

Some things can't be seen unless you change your thinking and perception.

That's something neat you made me realize.

You're correct.

Well, I guess you're going to be difficult to eat.

Hate to tell you, but I'm not going to get eaten today.

What did you just do?

I am Tagitsuhime.

You must really be something if you got past the trials that the other two set

for you.

This is so uncool.

You'll face me, Tagitsuhime, next.

I shall give you a test to evaluate your heart.

Of course, if you can't endure it, then I can just eat you.

I have to see Mitsuki again, and I will.

There's no way I'll let myself get eaten here.

Tarda. I know you're doing this for Mitsuki's sake, but have you ever

and thought about us, the ones who get dragged along with you?

It's because of your selfishness that the rest of us are always getting into

trouble, Boruto.

Genjutsu.

I wish that you could put yourself in our shoes for

once. We abandoned our original mission and now we're going to be rogue ninja

too. This is all your fault.

You sure know how to hit me where it hurts the most.

It's possible that Mitsuki got sick and tired of you and decided that he should

leave. You may say that Mitski is a precious friend, but you're the only one

actually believes that.

Mitski left the village of his own free will. It was his choice, right?

So you're gonna ignore Mitski's wishes and chase him down anyway?

What'll you do after you bring him back?

Are you gonna try to understand him from now on? Isn't that just a convenient

excuse? Why try to understand an outsider anyway?

What's most important is you, right?

Look, the simple fact of the matter is that people's hearts can change. And

if you actually did understand him, maybe in reality all of it was nothing

big lie.

This whole thing began because of your own egotistical desires, right? How long

will you keep on plaguing everyone around you?

Just stop already.

I think Ryuichi Cave needs to figure out how to mind its own damn business.

To be fair, though, all of you have a point.

I realize that what I'm trying to do isn't easy.

But it's because of that that I want to confront Mitsuki with absolutely

everything I've got.

Guess that's all we can do.

The entrance to Master Whitesnake Sage's temple.

You! Are you... Please wait.

I acknowledge that I've lost.

You feel normal now, don't you?

Those who come here usually seek to acquire the Sage's power.

To be frank, it's hard to believe that you could make it all the way here

without possessing such a goal.

Well, it's too bad.

If I'd been able to break your heart, then I could have eaten it all up.

Listen,

that's just not gonna happen.

Well, go ahead.

Your friends are waiting for you inside there.

You've undoubtedly earned the right to meet Master Whitesnake Sage.

All right.

What impressive willpower.

Although, if this Mitsuki becomes an actual enemy...

What will you do then?

Hennepin, Zarda, Chocho, Shikidai.

Zarda.

Lordo.

Are you guys okay?

They haven't been harmed in the slightest.

Are you the White Snake Sage, then?

Uh -huh.

My name's Boruto Uzumaki, and I've come here to ask you a favor.

Oh, I know.

My ears hear everything that occurs inside Ryuji Cave.

She's hard to understand, huh?

Shh. Then I won't bother explaining.

I want you to analyze the snake for me.

Why me?

Orochimaru sent me here.

Orochimaru, huh?

Seems he's softened up then, hasn't he?

So filled with greed such as man, crawling in the darkness. That is the

form that man takes.

All those who come here to see me have abandoned everything in pursuit of sheer

avarice. I'm different than all those other guys.

I just want to find out where Mitsuki is.

That's not a task that is left to me. The trials you passed were for the

of me seeing if I should teach you sage art, understand?

That's all I know. There's nothing else I could tell you.

All of us have gone through a huge amount to get here. So there's just no

that we're going to take no for an answer.

Aren't sages supposed to know things?

Help us, Granny.

You're going to be a real pain, aren't you?

Look, I'm begging you, please help!

Very well, if you're absolutely certain that you want me to analyze that snake,

I will.

But only on one condition.

What's that?

Deep inside Ryuichi Cave lives a giant snake named Garaga that's been giving me

trouble. So you want me to take it down?

Wait, Boruto, we're talking about a giant snake!

Yeah, so what? Who cares?

But we... Just forget it, Inojin.

At this point, it's too late to stop him.

I want you to bring Garaga's reverse scale to me. Doing so will make him tame

once again.

I understand. But if I bring it back, then you'd better do what I'm asking.

Garaga lives down in the deepest, harshest recesses of Ryuichi Cave in a

that's simply teeming with giant snakes.

You still want to do it?

Yeah, of course I want to.

Was it really okay to make them a promise such as that one?

They're going up against Garaga. Do you really think he'll come back alive?

So you mean, in other words... Exactly.

Uta su no akaranai hibi sono mono

Kimi wa namida wo nomi

tsukiteru Omotaku natteru nafta

Thank you.

It's reverse scale.

Just what is it, anyway?

A scale on the underside of a dragon's chin that grows in the opposite

than the rest?

You know the old saying, don't you? If you touch it, you incur the dragon's

wrath. There's a giant snake with one of those? That sounds super dangerous.

No, Biggie. This is just like a video game. You take down a monster boss and

get a special item. That's it.

Next time on Boruto, Naruto Next Generation, incurring wrath.

Let's get it real quick and clear this level.
