01x51 - Boruto's Birthday

[bunniefuu]

Okay, we should be fineif we've come this far.

We got a big haul!

There's nothing like robbingthe Thunder Train!

No one in town wouldeven imagine

that we escaped toa place like this.

This abandoned tunnelhasn't been used in ages.

No one will come in here!

You're so shrewd, Bro!

Huh? Hey

Is one of the guys missing?

Huh? You're right

Where'd he go?

Hey, are you over there?

Boruto's Birthday

We're done!

They said it was gonna bea bodyguard mission,

and what did we get?

Who would have thoughtit was for a pet!

It was kind of a surprise,but now that it's over

that one wasa piece of cake too!

Well, don't relax yet.

It's not always gonnago this smoothly.

I know that.

Anyway, let's get something to eat!

Sarada, what do you feel like?

Huh? Well

Mitsuki, is there anywherethat you want to go?

I'm happy going towhere you want to go, Boruto.

Okay then let's do Thunder Burger!

They just came outwith a new thing!

Yuck! Hamburgers again?

Hey, here comesthe rookies of Team .

They say their missionsuccess rate is %

And they're younger than us too.Prodigies sure are different.

Well, it's to be expected, right?

Oh hey, sorry if I hurt your feelings.

We're just jealous.

Forget what we said.

Still, it must be nice.

I wish I was the Hokage's son!

I don't understand them.

You shouldn't let guyslike that get to you.

I'm not.

I just

Just?

I'm just always being judgedby my dad's standards,

and that bugs the hell outta me.

Hey, Boruto!

Weren't we getting hamburgers?

Sorry, I'm not inthe mood anymore.

Who cares about the Hokage?

Even back then

Come on in.

Thanks for having us!

Happy birthday, Boruto!

Thanks, Aunt Sakura!

You came too?

Disappointed?

Well, I just came 'cuz Mom said to

Hey!

Looks like you've made yourself at home.

It's my first time at a birthday party, but it's really quite fun.

Here's your cake, Big Brother!

Oh thanks, Himawari!

As I'd expect, that's some cake!

I decorated it!

You did really good, Himawari!

Where's Naruto today?

He said he'd be home soon.

Isn't that good news!

I could care less if that old man came home or not.

The cake was really delicious!

Thank you!

“ Oh, I'm so glad! “ Wasn't it good, Mom?

You father hasn't returned yet, huh?

Hello?

What? My husband?

Yes

Yes

I understand.

Boruto

Just like I thought, that stupid old man!

Well, it's not like I had my hopes up anyway.

There must have been an emergency he couldn't put on hold

Look, he is the Hokage

Oh yeah, I get it.

I guess it can't be helped

the Lord Hokage would put off my birthday.

Hey

I'M REALLY SORRY. “ DAD

Big Brother's late, huh?

You're right

Sorry, I just got home.

Oh!

Are you all right, Naruto?

Yeah, but

This is for him.

I really let him down,

so I thought I should at least get him a present

I don't know what kind of games he likes though.

I know deep down they careso much about each other

SCIENTIFIC NINJA TOOLSRESEARCH CENTER

Damn it, it makes me so mad!

You seem to be in a bad mood.

Did something happenon a mission?

Whenever something happens,

you come here to clearyour mind, Young Lord.

It's nothing like that.

Hey, Old Man Katasuke

Do grown-ups still see meas a kid?

I don't think that's the case.

I'm a grown up,

and I know just how much skillyou have, Young Lord.

Yeah? I guess so, right?

But

There are probably otherswho don't think that way.

They're jealous of you.

You could also say they fear you and your talent.

I make them nervous,you mean?

That's right!

That's why they can't appreciateyour strength in an honest manner.

And they make excuses likeyou're the Hokage's son and such.

It's not like I'm the Hokage's sonbecause I want to be.

Who needs a stupid dad like thatwho forgets his own kid's birthday?

Well, people will understand in timeand see your true power, Young Lord.

And when that time comes

That time, huh?

Yeah, I wish that timecould be now.

Oh, that's right, Young Master.

Here.

I'm sorry it's late,but it's a birthday gift.

Naturally, I didn't forget.

Oh thank you!

What is it?

Another new toy?

This one's very practical.

It may come in handy duringyour missions, so please accept it

that Scientific Ninja Tool.

I'm home!

Welcome back, Big Brother!

What're you doing, Hima?

Well for my birthday

Daddy was too busy with workfor your birthday, remember?

So, I thought if I starteddoing this now,

Daddy would make sureto come home!

Hima

Who cares if thatstupid old man isn't here?

Mom and I'll be hereto celebrate with you.

I can invitemy friends over too, and

Yeah!

But I want Daddy to be here too.

Hey, Big Brother?

Do you think Daddy won't be herefor my birthday too?

Will he be too busyto come home?

No way!

Huh?

I won't let that happen.

Don't worry, Himawari.

I'll absolutely absolutely make sure

that Dad comes homefor your birthday!

Really Big Brother?!

Yeah, don't worry!

Do we really have to meetthis early in the morning?

Okay, everyone's here.

This time, our mission isto capture thieves

who robbed the Thunder Train.

They suddenly disappeared afterjumping off the Thunder Train?

There's a mining town there,

as well as abandoned minesthat are no longer in use.

So they could be hiding outin them.

How many are there in the g*ng?Ten? Twenty?

Hey, read the report!It says four, right there.

What? Only four?

Why can't the townspeople just goand round them up themselves?

That's just not possible.

The mines are arrangedlike a maze.

They could easily lie in waitto att*ck,

so it's too dangerousfor ordinary people.

And that's where we come in, correct?

And that's why we've gotta goall the way out to the sticks?

Even if they're thieves,I'd be way more excited

if they were big time likethe Byakuya g*ng.

What's up with you?There are no big or small jobs.

Didn't you learn that during the incidentwith Mr. Haguruma?

I know.

But unless I do something big,people won't acknowledge us, right?

In any case,we leave in one hour.

You're dismissed for now!

ICHIRAKUREADY TO EAT IN MINUTES

So another ruin connected toKaguya Otsutsuki was discovered?

Yeah, this makes it the third one.

What do you want to do?

I'm going to check it out myself,of course.

I really don't want to add anymoreto your plate though.

You can't say that.

It was decided at the Five KageConference, remember?

Anything that involves the Otsutsuki Clanis classified as top secret.

No doubt, if Kagura hadbuilt living weapons

like an army of White Zetsu to thwartanything that posed a thr*at

Yeah It's been ten yearssince then.

I doubt if something even worsethan the White Zetsu slumbers there.

But

SEVENTH HOKAGEIf we're to protect this peace,

SEVENTH HOKAGEwe have to find every ruinand check it out thoroughly.

I get that.

But haven't you been workingtoo hard lately?

You've been going homeeven less than before.

Well, that's

I heard about it from Hinata

You missed Boruto's birthdaythe other day, didn't you?

Yeah I really let him down. But

But

I'm the Hokage now.

Everyone in the village ismy family that I have to protect.

Dad

Boruto

Sarada, Mitsuki Can you go on ahead?

I need to talk tomy stupid old man.

Naruto, I'm gonna go on ahead.

Yeah, sorry.

Let's go, Sarada.

Yeah.

Boruto, I didn't apologizeto you properly.

About your birthday,the other day ”

It doesn't matter.

You're super busy withHokage business, right?

I never had my hopes up anyway.

Boruto

Instead

You'd better be home for Himawari's!

I don't care

if my stupid old man comes homefor my birthday or not.

But

But she's still small,and she wants you there.

So, promise me

Swear that you'll comehome for that.

Yeah, I got it.

I'll never forgive youif you break your word.

This is a promise,man to man, got it?

Humph!

Like I said,we're really out in the sticks.

There's nothing but mountains.

Hey, can you stop sayingstuff like that?

Are you from the Hidden Leaf?

Yes. We're here toapprehend the robbers.

About that

The situation has changed slightly.

Who is he?

He's one of the robbers.

“ Huh?! “ Huh?!

Did you go into the minewithout waiting for us to capture him?

No, he came running outof the mine himself.

He was in a panic andmade such a commotion.

We questioned him, but couldn'tmake any sense of him.

Hey, what happened tothe rest of your g*ng?

It's all over!

They're all dead!

They d*ed?

E-Everyone got

k*lled by that monster!

Monster?

He's been like thatthe whole time,

making absolutely no sense at all.

He must've been scaredout of his wits.

Save me.

Please save me!

Where's the mine thathe escaped from?

I posted guards at the entrance.

But as to going inside

It's not likewe completely believe him,

but his terror made usscared too.

It's only natural.

Well then, our mission isto enter the mine

and find out justwhat happened inside there.

Hey, what did you see anyway?

H-He's !

He's coming for us!

The white one!

White?

DO NOT ENTER

I guess this is the siteof the incident?

I wonder whatthis "white monster" is?

A white monster, huh?

What's wrong?

Oh, it's nothing !

That would be impossible.

Whatever

Let's hurry up and dealwith this, guys!

Hey, Boruto!

Don't go taking offon your own! Hey!

They may be robbers,

but if they're still alive,rescue is also part of our mission.

This could mean life and death.

I know that!

That's all the more reasonwhy we can't waste time!

Hey!

Damn it, what is with him?!

It's pretty vast inside.

It looks like this continuesquite deep.

Hey, you're more irritablethan usual today.

What? No, I'm not.

By any chance,

did something happen betweenyou and Lord Hokage this morning?

It's nothing like that.

Although if my dadwasn't the way he is,

things would be easier for me.

You two!We're gonna leave you behind!

Okay, coming!

Cut it out and just grow up!

I want to.

But no one treats me like an adult,and that's what's making me mad.

And it's not like I'm madjust for my sake.

We've come quite deepinto the mine.

Hey, come here

What's up, Mitsuki?

Is this ”?

Whoa !

Could it be one of the robbers?

There were more on this side

Two of them.

So that guy's entire g*ng was

Their bodies were cutwith a sharp blade.

The two I discoveredwere completely charred,

like they'd been struckby a jolt of electricity.

You don't think several ninja ?

There's a good chance of that.

Then what was all that talkabout a white monster?

Boruto, it could be this.

Look at these footprints.

They came running from further in.

And

That one's really huge.

He must've been overtwo meters tall

Then that one k*lled these men?

If so, they use multiple jutsu.

Anyway, further inside,there's a monster

capable of doing stuff like this.

From this point on,be prepared for battle.

Do not lose focus,not even for a second.

The footprints !

Why did they suddenly stop?!

Was this a trap just tolure us here?!

Everyone, stay focusedon your surroundings!

Damn it! Where arethey gonna come in from?

Above us!

Big Bro!

Konohamaru Sensei!

Are you okay, Big Bro?

Yeah

But he's

White Zetsu!

Why is he here?!

What the hell is that monster?!

That's White Zetsu.

A living w*apon thatKaguya Otsutsuki created.

And what about theseone-sided black flames?

Flames that only one mancan control,

that can burn anything completely Amaterasu!

I knew it! Dad!
