01x46 - Go! The Crest of Night Strategy

[bunniefuu]

Ryogi!

See, you're still doing it,
even now.

You're a full-fledged shinobi,

but you aren't even
trying to capture me.

You're only talk, after all.

Ice Style: Mangehyo!

Don't go…Ryogi!

Shikadai!

What are you doing here?

Oh… Nothing.

Shikadai, hurry!
We've been called to assemble.

Assemble?

There's big trouble at
the Kaminarimon Company!

We won't forgive
the Kaminarimon Company!

FOR THE SAKE OF TRUE JUSTICE
EQUALITY
PROTECT… We won't forgive
the Kaminarimon Company!

Protect the workers!

Protect the workers!

Ryogi, I didn't expect your strategy
to work this well.

We can even leave them,
and the chaos will keep growing.

Once the current begins to flow,
there's no stopping it!

That's reality.

You're with…

the Byakuya g*ng, aren't you?

Protect the workers!

What's the matter, Ryogi?

Oh, nothing.

All right, let's continue with
the Crest of Night Strategy!

You won't make a move…

And even if you did,
there's nothing you can do.

LEAF POLICE FORCE Go! The Crest of Night Strategy!

Go! The Crest of Night Strategy!

Since yesterday, this flyer has
been scattered all over the village.

"The Hidden Leaf Village is
about to be reborn…"

"Those of like minds,
gather tonight at midnight

in front of
the Kaminarimon Company,

the symbol of depravity
in this village…"

"For the sake of true justice."

What a dirty trick!

So the recent disturbances
were all leading up to this…

We can't ignore this.

If this grows any bigger,

innocent villagers might
be put in danger.

Of course…
We wouldn't allow that.

We've already sent in
as many police as possible

to tighten security to
the Kaminarimon Company.

The problem is…

The protestors aren't ninja,
but ordinary citizens.

We can't do anything rough.

So we'll have to be
nice and placate them

and convince them to disperse…

That will be our job.

What's up, Boruto?

Oh…

I never imagined going on
a mission like this.

We're not gonna take
down the enemy.

We're gonna have to confront
regular people.

And that's kinda…

Yes, that's our job,

and it's our duty to figure out
how to do that.

I'm going to give each team
their section assignments.

Please get to
your positions quickly,

and stand by for
further instructions.

– Right!
– Right!

Sorry to keep you waiting!

It's decided.

You've been assigned
to a spot

very close to
the company headquarters.

It's an important location.

Okay, so it's important,
but how do we proceed?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, the always cool-headed
Shikadai is with you,

so just deal with it by adapting
to the situation as necessary.

See, you're still doing it,
even now.

You're a full-fledged shinobi,

but you aren't even trying
to capture me.

You're only talk, after all.

Damn it!

It's a big job that even
the jonin are involved!

And all we can do is
stand by and watch!

I can't stand it that
we're suspended!

It's aggravating,
but we just have to endure it.

To a ninja, an order is absolute.

KAMINARIMON COMPANY


There are so many people on guard…

Oh!

Everyone, please be careful.

Wow! These are all
the protesters?

They weren't kidding.

If all these people make a move,
there will be chaos.

Dad and the others are guarding
the front of the building,

so I'm sure things will
be okay, but…

This arrangement…

I've seen it somewhere before…

Hey, is something up
with Shikadai?

I don't know.

Ever since we got called
to assemble, he's been like this.

Anyway…all these pieces lined up
are like that thing…

you know, that game Shikadai
is always playing.

Shogi?

Now that you mention it,
it does look like that.

My decoy move worked.

You fall for it a lot.

You might think you're protecting
the King over here…

Actually, there are a lot of openings.

Hey, Inojin, what's here?

Oh yeah, there's no one
in position there…

It should be okay since it's quite
a ways from the company.

Not that!

I mean this…building!

Oh…

It's that place Boruto visits
often these days…

The research lab run by
that guy named Katasuke.

You don't see it because
you don't go on the offensive.

A decoy?!

So their real target
is the research lab!

Huh? It's time for
a late-night snack already?

What's up?

The protestors will be
assembling soon.

Your mission is limited to
observation and reporting,

and depending on the situation, tracking.

Only chunin and above are authorized
to do anything beyond that.

Damn it!

What's with that scary face?

Here, I'll give you some chips.

You're the one who's running away.

– What a drag!
– Did Shikadai just snap?

H-Hey, Shikadai?!

Sorry…

I just remembered something!

– Huh?!
– Huh?!

What was that?

I have no idea.

What's with this place?

It doesn't look like
somewhere the protestors

or the Byakuya g*ng
are gonna show up.

We're on a mission.

Stay alert.

Damn it!

I wish we were stationed close
to the company!

Shikadai?!

I wonder what's up?

Hey, Boruto!

Sorry… I'm gonna go check it out.

What? Are you leaving your post?!

Wait.

Something must've happened.

Boruto's instincts are usually
right at times like these.

But…

We have no choice.

Let's just do this ourselves.

Seriously?!

It's not my problem if
he gets yelled at later.

We won't forgive
the Kaminarimon Company!

We won't forgive…

– Here they come, Kiba.
– the Kaminarimon Company!

– They aren't ninja.
– Protect the workers!

– So try not to use ninjutsu.
– Protect the workers!

– Hah, fine with me!
– Protect the workers!

SCIENTIFIC NINJA TOOL
RESEARCH LAB


RESEARCH LAB


Found you.

That's what I came to get.

The Byakuya g*ng!
What're you doing here?

Isn't your target
the Kaminarimon Company?

The villagers all seem
to believe that.

But our real objective…

was your ninjutsu data.

The Byakuya g*ng's real target is
old man Katasuke's research lab?

I don't have proof though.

You don't?!

And you're just acting
on a hunch?

You're really not
yourself today, Shikadai.

But if you believe it,
I'm with you.

'Course! Because we're a team.

Y-You guys…

Let's hurry!

We're almost at the lab!

KAMINARIMON COMPANY


Sarada!

What's the matter, Denki?

I've been monitoring
the protestors' movements,

but something's weird.

Weird?

Yeah…

Their actions are out of character
for normal people.

What do you mean?

Destroy the Kaminarimon Company!

That's…!

What is it?

SCIENTIFIC NINJA TOOL
RESEARCH LAB


RESEARCH LAB


Hey, get a hold of yourself!

Where's the old man?

Oh!

Hey!

Are you okay, old man?

Y-Young Lord?

Owww…

This is an embarrassing defeat…

Where's the Byakuya g*ng?

That's right!

Please go after them!

They stole my magnum opus!

Your magnum opus?

Uh well…please just hurry!

I placed a transmitter on
the Byakuya g*ng's leader!

Young Lord, here…

Huh?

What's this?

As long as you have that,

you'll be able to track
where they are…

even if you don't sense
any chakra.

Wow, amazing!

Please get it back for me,
Young Lord.

Yeah, you can count on me!

Are you sure everything's okay?

The uproar is getting bigger.

Please rest assured!

We will protect the Kaminarimon
Company, no matter what.

Excuse me!

Mr. Kotaro!

Denki!

You're under suspension
right now, aren't you?

I realize that.

But, I have to report this to you.

Okay, I'm listening.

Yes… This isn't an ordinary protest.

What do you mean?

Several of the people out
in the front

have a seal on their necks.

What did you say?!

It's possible they're under
a genjutsu

and are inciting the others.

Damn Byakuya g*ng!

I understand, we'll go confirm
this right away!

You did well to report this.

Oh, no…

Right now, this is about all I can do…

Denki…

Seems like you're doing
exceptionally well!

Uh…

Yes!

Boss, just what is that anyway?

It doesn't look too valuable…

This is a storage device.

Storage…device?

Every ninjutsu that exists
in this world

is recorded in this thing as data.

Be they Secret Ninjutsu or
Kekkei Genkai…everything.

There are so many people
who want this, I can't keep count.

Wow… So we can get
a high price for it then.

Yeah, our haul up until now
is nothing compared

to what we'll get for this!

That's going to benefit
the people of this world, right?

Yeah…

It's selfish to keep something
that's good for the entire world,

for yourself.

Anyway, this is for true justice!

We won't let you get away!

We caught up, you rotten thieves!

How did you know we were here?!

It's useless to try to run away.

Mr. Katasuke's brand of science
told us where to find you.

What?

Boss, on your back!

I riled up the demonstrators
into such a frenzy

so no one would detect
our chakra…

To think science is the thing
that gave us away.

Give it back…

That's Mr. Katasuke's precious…

precious…

Uh…What is it anyway?

You came after us without
even knowing that?

This is something that's way
beyond your heads, brats.

Shut up!

Whatever it is, give it back!

Boss, leave them to us, just go!

Yeah, take care of them!

You, come with me.

Yes!

Wait!

Shikadai!

Well? Should we go too?

Let's…deal with them first!

TRUE JUSTICE
EQUALITY
PROTECT THE WORKERS! I heard it myself!

The Kaminarimon Company
works us to the bone,

and keeps all the profits
to themselves.

Who'd you hear that from?

Huh?

Who told you that story?

Who? Well…

Uh, who was it anyway?

Just as you said, Kotaro.

They're under a genjutsu.

Release!

What… What am I doing here?

What are all these people
doing here?

Super Beast Art!

Partial Expansion Jutsu!

You're the only one left, mister.

You stuck-up brats!

Fire Style: Fox Fire!

Die!

Huh?!

Whoa… Too sudden!

Chubs!

I'll turn both of you into ashes!

Stay alert until the very end.

Uncle Shikamaru?!

So, they're the Byakuya g*ng?

You managed quite a feat, you guys.

Huh?!

Uh-uh…yeah.

Actually, genin aren't authorized
to take part in battle…

But since this was
an urgent situation, I'll let it pass.

H-How come you're here?

I heard from Mitsuki, that you guys
were headed this way and came to check.

In other words,
to try and subdue this rebellion.

Although it's a drag…

We'll have to engage with
the people face-to-face

and hear them out.

Huh? What am I doing here?

Everyone!

Listen to me!

That's Lord Hokage?

False rumors about
the Kaminarimon Company

were spread by these men.

Who are they?

He's the guy who stopped me
back then,

and chatted with me.

They used genjutsu to
make you believe lies.

Genjutsu?

That's right.

Why would we fall for stories
like that anyway?

However…

I believe there are many
who are dissatisfied.

This village is still
undergoing development.

And during all this,

there are those who are facing
hard and demanding times.

Perhaps there are people
who believe that

changing things in an honest,
direct way is too hard.

But I don't agree with that.

Changing the things before us,
a little by little,

even one thing at a time,

will make the world
a better place.

I want the Leaf Village
to be a place

where people smile
and enjoy their lives.

And for that,

I need the help of every person
who lives in this village.

Will you lend me your strength?

Let's change
the Hidden Leaf Village together!

SEVENTH HOKAGE


It's time for us to
get down to business.

So Shikadai and Boruto
went after them?

Yeah.

I think you should follow
them immediately!

I wish I could, but…

The chaos from the protests
hasn't calmed yet.

With everyone's emotions
running high…

There's no way even
for Naruto to find the enemy.

Then…

We'll just have to let them handle it.

Still, I can understand
Boruto going, but Shikadai too?

Yes… He looked unusually determined.

I wonder what happened?

I see…

He looked determined, did he?

Do your best…my idiot son.

No way…

Those two didn't?!

Nice…

Exactly as planned.

Hurry!

Ryogi…

What're you doing, Shikadai?!

They're getting away!

Yeah, I know that!

Once we're on here…

it's a direct line to
the other side of the border.

No one can stop us now.

I wouldn't be so sure!

Checkmate.

Shikadai!

Ryogi, why do you go so far
to protect him?

It's because he saved my life!

Is this the kind of life that
you really want?!

In this world,

you have to accept the role
that you've been given!

This is just one way of living…!
