Hey, stop!

Master, my dearest father.

The test subject is now ready.

We're merely awaiting your orders.

Old Man Anarchy?

snippy

Thank you for watching!

Say something, now!

You'd better watch your language, child, you hear?

Virgil!

I'm so sorry.

So you mean the old man isn't really on our side?

Yeah, it seems that we were wrong about him.

Hey, don't... Don't do anything that'll hurt them.

Akatsuchi, stay out of this.

I'm doing this for your sake.

I'm doing all of this for the sake of peace.

Is this Kansuchi?

Yes.

Is Kuro Tsuchi there?

I'm afraid Lady Tsuchikage hasn't returned from her trip to the

What? She hasn't come back yet?

Have you learned anything since the last time we spoke?

No. Nothing that would require immediate action.

I see.

I'll contact you just as soon as Lady Tsuchikage returns.

Yes, I'd appreciate that.

But just so you know...

That might not be for a while.

Understood.

All right. Please excuse me.

Excellent.

Such a good boy.

So she wasn't there, huh?

I'd really like to believe that they're doing something on their end, but... I

guess we'll just have to wait to hear from Konohamaru.

Yeah.

Guess so.

Damn you.

Where's Mitski now?

Just give him back!

Be quiet. Keep still.

They told me all about it. The abduction of the Hidden Leaf Genin and the

attacks on these kids who came here looking for him.

Was all of that your doing?

And who the hell are they?

On top of all that, Kurotsuchi's missing too.

What's going on in the stone?

And why won't you say anything?

Silence, Akatsuchi.

Answer him!

Kou, release him.

Yes.

What do you mean it's for the sake of peace?

Come on, explain yourself!

I'm trying to avoid repeating another tragedy.

Tragedy? Five years ago, the Stone Village was attacked by rogue ninja.

Many young shinobi lost their lives in that incident.

And afterward, it became extremely clear to me.

I have to protect the young lives that are our future.

Like us, you've been attacked, haven't you? By the Otsutsuki.

There's no predicting when another terrifying enemy like them will appear.

And when it does, we mustn't let them take the lives of our youth.

To keep them safe, what we need to do is find something else that is able to

fight in their place.

You're saying that something is these guys?

Yes.

What does all this have to do with Mitski?

Why'd you take him away from us?

Mitski will be helping me to complete my plan.

What?

Of course Mitski decided that of his own free will.

No.

Mizuki!

There you are.

Yes? You were looking for me?

Mm -hmm.

Lord Ku instructed me to bring you to see him.

To bring me to him?

Or was it to keep an eye on me?

Well, yeah.

Lord Ku's never met you, so he doesn't know much about you.

But when you do meet, I think you'll get along quite well.

I hope we do.

This will be your room.

You like it?

If it's missing something, or if there's anything you need, just let me know.

Alright. Now, let's move on.

This... is how the Oktar created it.

But they aren't like us, since we possess a will of our own.

A will?

I told you, right?

I'm sure Lord Ku will explain what the secret behind a will is.

When can I meet him?

Soon.

I can't wait.

There are still men.

Yeah, you're right.

Soon we'll have more than all of the shinobi in the Hidden Stone Village.

But the Master says we still need more.

We need more in order to protect the young people of the village.

So, you're saying they and those like you will die in their place?

Die in their place? Hey.

There you are.

Don't wander around so much.

Lord Ku asked me to show him around.

Let's go.

I'll show you my room.

Just how long are we going to let him live anyway?

I say we ought to just cut him up already.

If you'd like, I'd be happy to do it.

Wait for Lord Ku's orders.

talking about? Mitski is helping you?

Uh, Sarada, maybe you shouldn't upset them.

Yeah, I know that.

But just take us to Mitski. I'm sorry, but doing that is impossible.

Why not?

You see, the plan is now entering its final stages.

And Mitski's cooperation will be essential if we're going to make it

Just hold on.

If he learns you harmed us or the Leaf Shinobi sent after Mitsuki, Lord Seventh

is going to have to take action. Of course.

I'm well aware of that.

Initially, the plan was to do everything completely in secret.

I didn't imagine that I'd end up having to deal with you Leaf Shinobi.

However, I have no alternative if I'm going to proceed with my plan.

Look, take us to Mitsuki.

I need to speak with him. Just one more time.

I have to speak with him.

Please.

Please take me to him.

No, we're done talking.

Moronoki!

Just behave yourselves for a little while longer. I have no intention of

you.

Go.

No way, not gonna happen.

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

No! Kuu, please do not hurt him!

Get him!

Please don't.

Don't worry. I've got this.

Something happen?

Never mind that. Just keep an eye on him.

Oh, okay.

Come on. Right.

This is my room.

You drew these?

Yep. They're drawings of my friends.

The Master created us.

So that he could protect the people he cherishes.

That's why I want to create friendships worth protecting.

Humans become stronger when they have someone to protect, right?

Yeah.

That's right.

Now, I have one more friend.

Lady Tsuchikage, aren't you?

Are you Shikamaru -san?

Yes, ma 'am. My name is Shikidai.

What are you doing here?

Oh, well... Do you ever draw,

Mitsuki?

No, not really.

Hmm.

Okay, we're all ready.

All right.

Ready? For what?

Your examination.

Come on, it's this way.

I'll come with you, too.

What is that?

A curse mark?

I see.

Naruto had asked me for my help.

He told me you all might be coming this way, and to make sure you got back safe.

Lord Seventh did that?

So he saw all this coming.

I really screwed everything up. To think that I'd end up being locked in here.

Something's going on here.

What's happening in the stone?

The third Tsuchikage says that he's doing all this for peace.

I don't know what's happening to Boruto and the others.

If you know something, could you please tell me?

Yes.

This whole thing.

Began when I rejected an idea that my grandfather proposed.

Five years ago, an attack by rogue ninja took the lives of many young shinobi in

our village.

Shortly afterward... So, what is all of this about?

Just watch and see. You'll be amazed.

What in the... What in the world are they?

What is this?

Ready?

Begin.

At

ease.

Your thoughts, Kurotsuchi?

Grandfather, what have you done?

Hey!

Stop! That's enough!

I said stop!

Please, Grandfather, explain what this is.

They're still prototypes.

But I'm sure if I make improvements, they'll benefit our village greatly.

Next time, I'll be sure... No.

Grandfather, after the war, the five great nations conferred and decided that

would stand by one another in the event of an emergency.

Creating an army only for the Hidden Stone's use could upset the balance

the five great nations.

Besides, even if you do make improvements, I could never go along

those things as soldiers.

And will that naive thinking protect the future of the village?

Our young shinobi have become weaker, both in skills and in their spirit.

If we're faced with a powerful enemy, then they'll be the first to lose their

lives.

Grandfather, I appreciate your opinion, but I'm the Tsuchikage now.

Back then, I thought he'd given up on the idea.

But he ended up making those things.

So, those earth and doll -like Akta are his doing?

I think infusing chakra into clay and applying a jutsu is how they're made.

Although, it seems there's more to it. Yes.

There are skilled fighters leading them who are able to use detonating clay in

Earth -style jutsu.

Also, Mitsuki might actually be helping out with the third Tsuchikage's plan.

This Mitsuki is the genin who was taken away?

Yes.

I realize we're in a bad situation.

But all the same, I have no intention of letting this continue.

I plan to keep the promise that I made to Naruto.

Shikidai, tell me, are you confident in your skill?

Yes.

What's taking so long?

Haven't you found the master yet?

Go and find him. I said go now!

Who can stop me?

My heart shouts out.

Ah, I feel like I have to tell you right now.

The world is a pot, I don't know why. I'm always circling around.

Ah, it's okay if you meet someone.

You just have to stay there.

Thank you for watching.

Please subscribe to

my channel.

Thank

you

for watching!

Thank you.

This is all for peace in the ninja world. I hope you realize that it's to

protect you as well.

We don't need help. We're not weak.

The plan is just about to enter its final stages.

Don't interfere.

I'm not going to let that happen. What are they, anyway?

Next time on Boruto, Naruto Next Generation.

Onuki's thoughts, Ku's thoughts.

My name is Ku.

I'm a vessel formed only to bring about the Master's noble wishes.
