01x13 - The Demon Beast Appears!

[bunniefuu]

So, he's Tanuki Shigaraki?

Yeah. A missing survivor
from the Foundation.

Seems he was a talented researcher
and ardent follower of Danzo.

He was the brains
behind a plan

to develop a new w*apon
utilizing the Hashirama Cell.

The project's code name
was "Gozu Tennou."

Even after Danzo's death,
he didn't give up.

But he disappeared
quite some time before

these recent incidents
even began…

What a letdown.

After we successfully
uncovered his hideout too...

It was just a waste of our time.

I guess we're back to square one
with our investigation…

Captain Sai?

What's wrong?

That's it…

The incident started
at the Academy.

Why didn't we notice?

What do you mean?!

Huh? You know who
the perpetrator is?!

Yeah…

The culprit is…

Who is it?!

I've been thinking about it
for a long time.

How I can confirm
if you're the sun or not.

What? The sun?

That's why I've been
keeping watch

ever since I arrived
at the village.

I wanted to see
how you would react.

You dove straight
into every incident

and restored everyone
back to normal.

I don't get what
you're saying, but…

That's only natural, ain't it?!

However,

I wonder about this time?

The culprit is…

the Class Rep.

"The Demon Beast Appears"

HOKAGE
That's what's going on…

The one who caused
this series of incidents

is the daughter of a survivor
from the Foundation.

Sumire Kakei.

Boruto's classmate, huh…?

Her father's name was
Tanuki Shigaraki.

Just before he d*ed,

he entrusted her with the Gozu Tennou,
which he had perfected.

Sai is searching for her now

since she's disappeared
from her hospital room.

Putting that aside,

complaints are coming in
that these incidents continued

because the Leaf Police didn't
thoroughly vet everyone involved.

What do we do?

Well, it was Lord Fifth and I
who put a stop

to exposing the identities of everyone
connected to the Foundation.

Kakashi Sensei!

That's totally not funny, Mitsuki.

There's nothing funny about it!

But it's the truth.

Think about it.

Every victim had some contact
with her just before an incident.

You're saying that's when
she implanted the Ghost on them?

Besides, the Class Rep is
a victim in the first place!

I think that was a feint to
deflect suspicion from herself.

I'll tell you more if
you're not convinced—

That's enough!

Even so, why?

Why would the Class Rep
do such things?!

You're not responsible.
for this, Boruto.

I can't believe it!

If you don't want to believe me,
do as you please.

Although, I think it's too late.

What do you mean by "too late"?

She's realized
she can't hide it any longer.

There's no doubt,
she's already started moving.

Manipulating her victims
into rampaging

wasn't the purpose of
The Ghost Incidents.

It was just a way to
absorb their chakra.

Just a way?!

W-What's that?!

It's coming from Senju Park!

Looks like it's begun…

Not seeing through
Sumire Kakei's ruse

was a big mistake on our part.

But wasn't a background check
on every villager ruled out

because we wanted to avoid people
becoming suspicious of each other?

Back then, the village
was in shambles

after the Fourth Great Ninja w*r.

Everyone lost someone
precious to them.

In that environment,
if we provoked any suspicion

that a family member or colleague
was a survivor from the Foundation,

the village would have been devastated
through doubt and suspicion.

You made the right decision.

Otherwise, someone like Sai

would have been among
the first to be suspected.

But the problem now is Sumire.

Her late mother wasn't a ninja
or anything associated…

We confirmed that when
we received her Academy application.

Her father's background is unknown.

But we probably knew that
he was a Rogue Ninja, right?

There's no rule that
someone can't be accepted

if you don't have a parent.

However, whatever her reasons,

it's a fact that
she embroiled many people

who were unrelated
to her circumstances.

Even if she is a child…

You think we should punish her
as a criminal?

Our role now is to maintain order
in the Hidden Leaf Village.

We can't be soft on everyone.

You're so "by the book"
at the strangest times.

Please don't make fun.

Besides, why are you here,
Lord Sixth?

Weren't you supposed to be
at the hot springs?

To be honest,

I wanted to take it easy
in my retirement.

But Danzo and I were
somewhat linked by destiny…

So, I've been looking
for traces of his research.

And? Did you find anything?

Yeah, something I wish
I never found out…

Danzo's legacy…the Gozu Tennou.

In all likelihood,

it's imbedded within the body
of this girl, Sumire.

Well, no wonder we couldn't find it
no matter how hard we looked.

Her father probably
took that measure…

It means Sumire Kakei
is the very gate

through which Nue is summoned.

How could he—?!

Then about now, Sumire is…

What just happened?

Danzo Shimura…

The man who used
every despicable means

in order to protect the Hidden Leaf.

However, his actions were
ultimately based

on his own personal view
of what was best for the village.

To avenge him by
destroying the village

is mistaking the cause
for the end.

Furthermore, if another cycle of

tragedy and hatred
starts up again,

people whose pasts are connected
to the Foundation

will be seen with cold eyes.

So, if there are still others
living under this curse,

I must free them…

It's my duty, as someone
who was liberated in the past.

- Never forgive them.
- Listen well, Sumire?

- Avenge the Foundation in my place.
- You understand, don't you, Sumire?

- You are the only one.
- Sumire, do not fail to wreak vengeance

- You are the only one.
- on the Hidden Leaf!

Well done.

Are you really just a kid?

Stay on your guard.

Who knows what she'll do…

I'm sorry.

I know that you are Inojin's friend.

As long as I'm around,
nothing bad will happen to you.

However, I'm going to keep you
restrained for now.

Nu…e…

Can you still move?!

Y-Yes…

W-What the hell is that?

Nue…

The Gozu Tennou is being summoned

through chakra gathered
in an intermediary.

If something like that goes
on a rampage,

the village will be wrecked, ya know!

What are you going to do?

What can you do,
if you go there?

I don't know!

But I ain't believin' anything until
I talk to the Class Rep myself!

That's all I know!

Boruto…

What do you want?

I'm a little occupied right now.

Weren't you going to let her live
and observe her?

Why now?

All right, fine.

Mission accepted.

My new orders are…

to eliminate Sumire Shigaraki.

I'm sorry, Captain.

It's all right.

There's no way we can handle
that thing ourselves.

It's coming!

Purple Lightning!

Lord Sixth?!

We can't let that thing loose
in the village.

First, create a diversion, please.

Right!

Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll!

Earth Style:

– Multi Mud Wall!
– Multi Mud Wall!

What do we do?

M-My strength is…

Their chakra is being absorbed…

This isn't good.

What the hell's goin' on?

I wouldn't get any closer
if I were you.

Mitsuki…

It's just like
The Ghost incidents.

At this rate,

the chakra of everyone in
the village will be extracted.

Everyone in the village?!

Damn it, what're we gonna do?!

There is a way.

If the jutsu user dies,
Nue will stop.

Dies?

You don't mean—?!

Now, what will you do?

The lives of your family and
the village…or the Class Rep.

Which do you choose?

I don't even…

have to think about it.

I'll save both sides!

I see…

That's an answer
you wouldn't hear from me.

And…

You show me choices
that I wouldn't make.

Huh?

I want you to show me more
about our differences.

I want to feel it more.

What have you been trying
to say since earlier?

However, it's different this time.

I'll control myself.

W-What're you doing?!

I must get rid of the source.

That's what I've been ordered to do.

What do you mean by ordered?

Are you okay with it?!

At the very least, I feel this is
the best choice right now.

Oh, and if you come with me,
you'll definitely regret it.

W-Wait!

Mitsuki!

I'm sorry, but until
my real self finishes its task,

I'd like you to take
a short nap.

L-Like I'd let you!

A shadow clone…

always has a shadow clone!

Never mind me!
Just do it…huh?!

I'm sorry about this.

Oww…!

Go a little easy, will ya?!

You said to do it.

Right?

Damn it, I can't hang around here.

I've got to get to the Class Rep.

But where is she?!

This thing that looks like
a chakra current…

Could it be…?

It's gotten bigger.

Is it because it absorbed chakra?

The wall's reaching its limit.

Let's give it one last push.

Yes!

Barrier Team!

– Yes!
– Yes!

All right!

However…

I guess we're going to have to
take this thing on ourselves.

In a fist-fight with
a monstrosity like this…

I wish we could borrow some power
from Choji and the others…

Are you two okay?

H-Hey!

Who's commanding
the relief operations?

Shikamaru and the others are on it.

I'll settle this in one move.

Wait, Naruto!

SEVENTH
Using that isn't wise!

SEVENTH

SEVENTH
That thing absorbs chakra.

If it uses your immense quantity
of chakra as fodder,

it'll be beyond our control.

And, as a last resort,
the jutsu user will detonate

the chakra that's stored inside Nue.

Then we'll all be blown to bits.

Are you saying Nue is
a giant b*mb?!

That was its original purpose
as a summoning.

The user of the Gozu Tennou
would be sent

into enemy territory to go
on a rampage,

and then, he would blow himself up along
with everyone in the vicinity.

The cold rationality of it
makes me want to vomit.

I want you to join
the Barrier Team.

If the barrier should collapse,
it's all over.

Okay, I get it.

But…is that all we can do?

They put up a barrier, after all.

Nue doesn't have enough chakra yet
to break through, right now.

Should I detonate?

After coming this far?

Just a little more…

If I can give it
a little more chakra,

Nue will be complete.

You're good when you put
your mind to it, huh, Class Rep?

Not really, Mitsuki.

How did you find me?

Hiding is my specialty.

When I visited you
at the hospital…

I did a little prepping.

It took some time though.

Are you going to k*ll me?

Yeah, I think so.

It's an order,
so I have no choice.

I don't believe Lord Seventh's
the one who ordered it.

So, who do you work under?

That doesn't matter.

I'm sorry.

But this ends now.

Stop it, Mitsuki!

Boruto!

Class Rep…

Are you really the culprit?

The Ghost that only I could see…

Are you really the one
who implanted it?!

Boruto…

Yes, I am.

So, you really were the only one
who could see Nue, after all.

So, it's true…

It was all for the purpose
of manifesting Nue

and destroying Hidden Leaf Village.

And what about
Wasabi and Namida?

And Sarada and Chocho…
All of our classmates?!

It doesn't matter to me.

Revenge. That's the reason
why I was born…

and why I've lived until now.

From the very start,
I have existed solely for revenge.

And this is the proof.

I've lived until today in order to do
what my father couldn't!

What your dad couldn't do…?

The child shall accomplish…right?

You guys are too extreme!

Following orders…revenge?

Well, I'm not gonna let you!

Then what are you going to do?

Are you going to stop me
by k*lling me here?

Can you really do it?

I knew it would turn out like this.

Hey, Mitsuki!

That's why I told you…

You'd regret it if you came.

Stop…

Stop, Mitsuki!

Stop!

Boruto…

Boruto…

Cut it out already.

Do you really want
to k*ll each other?!

Up until now, you've been—!

What?

What happened?

Transportation Ninjutsu?

One thing after another…

What the hell is going on?

Fine.

Take my chakra.

Class Rep…

Wait.

Class Rep!

I nurtured it especially for revenge.

The ultimate w*apon.

Hey, Class Rep…

Let's go back!

I att*cked the Leaf Village.

To me, this is w*r!

Your parents thought that!

It has nothing to do with
who you are now, Class Rep!
