I want you to analyze the snake for me.

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

trouble. I want you to bring Garaga's reverse scale to me.

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.

So this, uh, reverse scale, just what is it anyway?

I've heard that it's a scale on the underside of a dragon's chin that grows

the opposite direction than the rest.

You guys know the old saying, don't you? If you touch that scale, you incur the

dragon's wrath.

I know, but do snakes even have scales like that?

This place is called Ryuchi, which means land of dragons.

So I wouldn't be surprised if the giant snake that lives here has one.

That's right. During the class back at the academy...

Kronohomeru

Sensei summoned that weird gigantic frog. You guys remember?

Maybe this is like that.

So does that mean that we're going to be up against a weird snake like that frog

or something?

Come on, you guys. It's no big deal.

This is all just like a video game.

You take down a monster boss and you get a special item. That's it. Done.

You're awfully nonchalant about all this.

But Boruto, we still have to actually find this Garaga, remember? Or we won't

able to move forward.

Yeah, sure.

Let's get it real quick and clear this level. It'll be a snap.

And then we'll find Mitsuki and... Wait, look.

What is all this?

Was this track really made by a snake?

Isn't it way too big for that?

I mean, if a snake made this, then it's ridiculously big.

Hold on. Don't tell me this is Gargant.

What

is

all this? What happened here?

Doesn't it look like something went completely wild?

Remember what the white snake stage said?

A long time ago, during a battle, Garaga was unfortunate enough to lose one of

his eyes.

Ever since then, he's been a real pest that flies into a rage all over the

place. He needs to be taught a serious lesson, or it'll be hopeless.

This Garaga definitely seems to be one tough snake.

See you next

time.

A staircase?

He's here! He's here!

You okay?

What are those?

Who put them all here?

There's more over here, too.

Why are there so many statues of snakes?

Oh, man, they sure scared me.

All right, come on, let's go. Wait, hold on a minute.

Doesn't all this feel really creepy, you guys?

Huh? What is this?

Oh, wait a second. It's just a wall.

Hold on. This wasn't here just a minute ago.

Yeah, you're right. I've got a bad feeling about this.

I'm gonna attack!

Damn, we're gonna have to fight it!

Shadow paralysis jutsu!

Whoa!

Not working!

He's just too big!

That's it! That's the reverse scale!

I thought there'd be another one.

What do we do?

There's no choice. We gotta retreat.

Not gonna argue with that one.

I've just returned.

Moegi, you mean that you've come back alone?

Well, you see, Shikadai and the others on my team ended up going with Boruto.

They left this behind for me.

I see.

So he went along with them.

I don't have any doubt that Shikidai's come to the same conclusions that we

about this case.

After finding Boruto, he must have learned something that bothered him

Mitsuki's departure.

And that's why he went with Boruto.

But what did he discover that bothered him?

I'm afraid I don't know what it was.

He's finally stabilizing now.

Based on his condition, he should regain consciousness soon.

Hey,

Yurito.

Yes, what is it?

I have a report.

Intended for Lord Seventh.

So take this to Lord Seventh?

Sure thing, Sakura.

You don't have to rush, you know.

Okay.

The Chunin that were attacked are still unconscious.

We'd better get some fresh intel soon, because I won't be able to hold off

two advisors for very much longer.

I'm sorry about all this. Thanks, Granny Tsunade.

Under normal circumstances, this issue could put the Hokage's position at risk.

But thanks to you keeping the elders at bay, We've managed to avoid creating

unnecessary chaos for the village.

Oh, damn it. Just put yourself in my place hearing them complain.

I don't think that I'm ever going to hear the end of it.

Excuse me.

What do you need, Yurito?

Sakura just asked me to bring this report to you.

I see.

Thank you.

I'd better get back now.

Finally, a little good news.

One of the Chunings should be awake soon.

Maybe now we'll be able to get some details about the way Mitsuki left the

village. Let's hope.

Ino already looked into his memories right up to the point where he got

unconscious. But we should be able to get some more clues by talking to him

directly. All right.

I wonder what kind of info we'll find.

Who knew that snake was going to be so big?

How can we get the reverse scale now? With two of them, it's just impossible.

What is it, Sarada? What's the matter?

Well, it's just that blue snake before.

I got the feeling it was trying to protect me or something.

Oh, come on. There's just no way. I mean, monsters like that don't have any

of conscience or anything.

Yeah, you're right.

Anyway, we've got to think of a way to get that reverse scale.

What?

No way.

Oh, no, it's here.

Oh, man.

Just what we need.

Wait.

So did you really protect me during that fight?

Hey, hold on.

You are Lady Sarada, I presume.

I wondered when the day would come that I'd finally meet you.

My name is Aoda.

I am a summoning snake who has pledged loyalty to Lord Sasuke.

To my dad?

It's a talking snake?

Not only that, but he's super polite.

How are you, piece of trash?

You've got some nerve getting in my way.

I'll kill any human that comes near me, no matter who it might be.

So you must acquire Garaga's reverse scale to find this youth, Mitsuki.

What's the matter?

I was just thinking that ordinary methods won't work.

Yeah, we know. Believe me. So could you help us, Aura?

Come on, are you sure about doing this?

Let down our guard, and this guy might just bite all our heads off when we're

not looking.

Surely you jest.

I have no interest whatsoever in eating humans.

You heard that?

I'd like to ask you something.

I can see that you don't have a reverse scale.

So does that mean that Garaga is the only snake who has one, then?

No. But snakes with a violent temperament like Garaga usually do.

They become obedient once their reverse scale has been taken.

Lady Sarada, it's too dangerous to continue this fool's errand.

I believe it's best not to engage Garaga.

Why?

He's dangerous.

What other reason do you need?

All the snakes who live here in Ryuichi Cave despise him.

None of them will go near him.

You see?

Snakes are snakes after all. And nothing but trouble. I mean... How rude.

I shall escort you to the exit, and I shall protect you until you reach the

Village.

Wait, Aura, please.

I already explained to you why we can't go home just yet.

Listen,

please help us. There's no choice. We have to get Garga's reverse scale

Lady Narada.

What's the matter, Shikamaru?

Oh, yeah. I was just thinking through some things.

Hmm.

Shikadai must have figured something out on his own. That has to be why he went

with Boruto.

And yet, based on the tuning guard's memories, everything we know points to

Mitsuki being guilty.

Yeah, I know. That's why I'm working off that assumption in my orders to the

shinobi. But still, I wonder.

What if Mitski truly is being targeted by somebody?

What do you believe would happen then?

Mitski's origin is a highly classified secret in the Leaf.

It's known to only a few of us.

Just what are you saying?

Access to that data is limited to those authorized to freely enter this room.

That's it.

I wonder if Boruto and Sarada are going to be able to return safely.

The village is under a strict watch.

If we leave without authorization, then we'll end up being labeled as rogue

ninja.

So if we're caught by the trackers, then are we gonna be killed?

Hey, come on now. I'm sure they wouldn't go as far as all that.

He's right.

We'd just be brought back here and punished, wouldn't we?

Sumire, what's the matter?

I was just wondering if there's anything at all that we might be able to do.

That's definitely frustrating.

What if you obey?

I just mean that I feel like leaving the village right now to go and help, but I

can't.

Because our mission's to stay here and guard the village.

If someone attacked the guards at the gate, who knows what else could happen.

Yeah, you're right.

I guess we just have to focus on our mission right now.

Don't worry, you guys.

Boruto and the others will handle all this.

Right, Sumire?

That's right.

I'm sure they will.

Well, I'm going home to change, so I'll leave it to you for now.

Right. I understand.

You forget something?

Oh, hey, Yurito.

Where did Sakura go?

She just left. Didn't you see her on your way in?

Mm -mm.

You want to leave a message?

No, thanks. It's okay.

Hey, I heard that he might be waking up sometime soon.

It'd be great if he could give us new information.

Yeah, I hope so.

Everyone is so on edge. It'd be great to resolve all this soon.

Well, sorry to have bothered you.

No. Thanks for providing security, Yuito.

Oh.

Hey, Hinata. You here to see Naruto?

Yes. I just brought him a change of clothes.

Oh.

I was going home to get a change of clothes, too.

Seems like I'm gonna be here for a while longer.

Hinata?

Sakura, I'm so sorry.

It's Boruto's fault that Sarada's involved in all this.

When they're brought back, she's going to be punished for it as well.

Sarada's responsible for her own actions.

You don't have to worry about that kind of stuff.

Sakura... They're both full -fledged ninja now.

They're completely aware they're putting their rank as genin on the line.

You're right.

They left the village fully aware of the consequences they might face.

Unfortunately, all that we can really do now is hope that they'll return safely.

But really, where are they now, and what are they doing?

Let me be clear that I will only cooperate when Lady Sarada gives me an

I am in no way your ally.

Oh, yeah? Is that right?

Well, whatever.

I just hope you got our strategy down.

Hey, Boruto.

Sorry about that.

It's fine.

I just wonder what Lord Sasuke would have to say about this.

The keys to this whole strategy are going to be Chocho, Boruto, and you,

I'm counting on you guys.

You got it.

All right, let's go.

Bring it on, big guy.

Who are you?

Whatever. Doesn't matter.

What? Can I breathe?

Please, I can't breathe!

Ninja Art Super Beast Girl!

You think you caught me? Well, guess what? I'll still crush you!

If the three of us can hold them down for a while, we can buy them some time.

Go get them, you two!

You've got it, Chicken Dive!

Come in here and mess with me on my own turf.

I've had enough.

Back off, you hear me?

I'm gonna grind you all up into little pieces!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you

for

watching! Please subscribe to my channel!

Oh,

Garaga, how dare you do that to Cho -Cho! You're gonna pay for that!

Huh? I'll turn all of you to stone, too! You're all fools!

Dammit! There's no chance I'm gonna run away and leave things unfinished!

Next time on Boruto's Naruto Next Generation!

A fierce enemy!

Garaga's ferocious attack!

Just wait! I'm gonna take your reverse scale!

I don't know.
