01x52 - Sasuke's Shadow

[bunniefuu]

The footprints !

Why did they suddenly stop?!

Was this a trap?

Just to lure us here?!

Where are they gonna come in from?

Above us!

White Zetsu?

Why is he here?

What the hell is that monster?!

White Zetsu?

You mean the thingsDad and the others fought

during the Great Ninja w*r?!

Yeah They were all supposed tohave been destroyed

To think that some survived!

Still, I've never seen onein this form!

W-What are you talking about?

They're coming!

Sasuke's Shadow

Dodge it!

Lightning Style?

Fire Style this time?

Even Wind Style?

How many styles of jutsucan this guy use?

Whoa!

Boruto!

N-No way!

Big Bro Konohamaru isbeing overpowered?

Let's go back him up!

Did it work?

Boruto!

Are you kidding me?!

Oh yeah!

If I remember correctly

What are you doing?

It may come in handy during your missions,

so please accept it

Big Bro!

He ran away?

No, he let us off the hookis more like it.

B-Big Bro!

We have to treat your wound now!

What the hell isthat crazy monster?

That's White Zetsu

A living w*apon

created by Kaguya Otsutsuki,

the last enemy we battledduring the Great Ninja w*r.

But didn't Lord Seventh andthe others annihilate them all?

Then what's something like thatdoing here after all this time?

I think the answer to thatlies deeper inside.

Mitsuki?

When did you ”?

What is this?

O-Oh

A relic of the Otsutsuki Clanin a place like this?

Long ago, Kaguya Otsutsukihad used the roots

of the Divine Tree just like thisto cultivate countless White Zetsu.

But I've never seen anythingabout that form

in any of the dataabout White Zetsu.

Its intellect seemed low.

On the other hand,its strength is off the charts.

Maybe it underwent a changewhile it was left alone?

Wait a minute!

Does that mean there arelots more like him under us?

W-What?

That's really bad!

No, I don't thinkthere are any more.

Why not, Mitsuki?

It's been nearly ten yearssince it lost its master.

That bud is dried up,and I don't think it's even active.

Without a chakra supply,they can't stay incubated.

I hope that's the case

Mitsuki, you seem to know a lot.

I learned it from my parent.

Okay then, let's go down there.

Boruto?

Well, we can't ignorethat thing just now.

You talk like it's gonna bean easy task

Besides, if this is the factorywhere those monsters are made,

we have to destroy it completely.

That may be true, but

Hey, Big Bro Konohamaru!

Let's get that thing.Together, the four of us!

Boruto, that makes a lot of sense.

However, I have to reject it.

W-Why?!

This place definitely seemsto be inactive.

But if that's the case,why is that White Zetsu here?

Huh? That's ”

In other words,we should assume there are others.

And that thing is too muchfor you to handle.

Hold on a minute!

Are you sayingwe're a burden?!

To put it bluntly, yes.

And I won't let you say thatyou aren't already aware of that.

Then, are we going to retreat?

No, I'm going in there alone.

Huh?!

Without a doubt,we can't leave this place alone.

If anyone is gonna deal with it,it has to be a jonin like myself.

You three go back to the villageand report the situation

in case I don't return.

Konohamaru Sensei!

We can't do that,Big Bro Konohamaru!

I-It'll be fine.

We can all work togetherto b*at a thing like that !

You guys don't know aboutthe Great Ninja w*r

or how terrifying the thingsconnected to Kaguya Otsutsuki are.

Otsutsuki is a god-like being,that brought about ninja like us.

Her power is beyond measure.

She's that powerful?

Without a doubt,you three have grown strong.

But this is on another level.

More strength is requiredfrom here on out.

Don't let this get you down

Take your time andbuild up your strength.

The one thingwe must absolutely avoid,

is for all of us to die here.

So, you need to go back.

That's an order.

Please wait, Konohamaru Sensei!

Sarada?

It's not that I approve of Boruto

But I also thinkwe should go in together.

You ”!

And why is that?

We don't even knowwhere the enemy is hiding,

so splitting up at this pointis too dangerous.

It's possible it will target us too.

In fact, I think the chanceof that is stronger.

Even that thing knows enoughto come after the weaker ones.

And if that's the case,the best strategy is

for us to come along andprovide you with back-up.

Don't you think so, Sensei?

However

Big Bro!

If the risk is the same,

I think we should avoid splitting upour battle power too.

Damn it, I guess I have no choice.

We'll prove it to you andmake ourselves useful, Big Bro

I mean, Konohamaru Sensei!

I got it!

But you absolutely must notoverestimate your strength.

Change of orders.

We will proceed together inside

and we'll take down this White Zetsu.

And we're gonna get throughthis alive and go home, together!

“ Right! “ Yeah!

That's why I want you to listen carefullyto the strategy I'm about to explain.

Strategy?

Yeah, it's a no-fail strategyto bring him down.

Did we get him?!

No, it's coming!

We'll proceed just as I explained!

Sarada, Sharingan!

Right!

It's gonna come at us with Lightning Style,Wind Style, then Fire Style!

Leave the Lightning Style to me.

Snake Lightning!

All right!

Wind Style: Gale Palm!

Fire Style: Fire Dragon b*mb!

He knows he's getting nowherewith jutsu-based att*cks,

so he's switching tohand-to-hand combat

As predicted!

Now, Boruto!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Hey, over here!

No matter how atypical this monster is,if we keep chipping away at him

As expected,Konohamaru Sensei's strategy is brilliant.

At this rate

That's the way.Keep teasing it, Boruto!

While you're doing that,I'll get him with this!

Listen up.

You're going to lure him with your Shadow Clones.

Don't do anything reckless, got it?

But

It's weakened.

If I do it now ”!

Well, people will understand in time

and see your true power, Young Lord.

And when that time comes

If I show that I can bring him down myself

What's Boruto doing?!

Hey!

Now's my chance!

I'll settle this right now!

Huh

Boruto!

It's no good. It's not working.

Try to get away, Boruto!

M-My chakra is ”!

Damn it!

At this rate

I won't let you have Boruto!

All right, now!

I saved the best for last!

Rasengan!

Get a good taste

of the power that was passed on to meby Lord Third, aka The Professor,

and Big Bro Naruto!

A-Amazing!

He did it!

You absolutely must not overestimate your strength.

Let's proceed inside!

More strength is required from here on out.

I know!

What are those?!

I knew it.

These are like the cocoonsthat nurture White Zetsu.

Don't tell me all of these

are like that monster?!

No, that doesn't seemto be the case.

Yes, they're decomposed.

It seems we've come tothe innermost location.

What if there are moreWhite Zetsu lurking in there?

If so, we'll just have to fight them offas hard as we can,

using the same strategy as earlier.

Don't let your guard down.

These are ”!

Don't touch that flame.

What's going on with this one?

Who knows?

What's with these black flames?

Everything's burning.

This is Amaterasu!

What's that?

It's Mr. Sasuke!

Flames that only he can control,

that can burn anything completely!

I knew it

Looks like there wereseveral dozens of them in here.

If Mr. Sasuke hadn't been here first,we'd have been goners.

Are you saying he destroyedall of them by himself?

Yeah.

The Zetsu we encountered must'vemanaged to escape and survive.

What's Sarada's dad doing here?

I guess I have no choice,since you've seen this much

Mr. Sasuke's been ona top-secret mission all by himself,

tracking the movements ofany remnants of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

A top-secret mission?

He said it's an important dutythat only he can fulfill.

So where is your dad, Sarada?

He can travel through time and spacewith the power of his Rinnegan.

He's probably far away by now.

A-Awesome!

You bet he's awesome.

Mr. Sasuke is the one and only rivalthat Lord Seventh considers his equal.

Dad's ”?!

I heard that from my parent too

That he gets no accolades,but he is the supreme ninja

who watches over the Hidden Leaf Villagefrom the shadows.

The supreme ninja?

I guess Sasuke ended upsaving you, Konohamaru.

Yes, but Lord Seventh

I know you're a clone, but why did youcome all the way out here?

I can't ignore anythingthat involves Kaguya.

Still, I can't believeyou found a ruin here too.

Which means there are others?

Yeah.

But looking at that one's appearance

For her to get these guys ready,

Kaguya must've been expectingan intense battle

with some formidable enemies

An enemy that can only be confronted

by creating an armyof monsters like these?

I wonder who they could be?

Who knows?

In any case, seems we're gonnahave our hands full again

So, we're being left in the dark,after all?

It can't be helped.

That's what it's supposedto be like for genin.

Well, I don't like it!

Even though we

"Fought too" was that whatyou were going to say?

But when it counted most,we didn't have enough strength.

Neither of us.

Konohamaru Sensei said we're not tosay a word about this to anyone.

It means Lord Seventh andthe higher-ups will deal with the rest.

Mr. Sasuke is the one and only rival that Lord Seventh considers his equal.

Power that the grown-ups and everyone

and Dad will acknowledge

I still don't have enough.

I finally caught up.

What should we do,Lord Momoshiki?

I thought it would justbe a fool's errand

Well then, why don't we gogreet our visitor?

CHUNIN

Let's show Lord Hokage

just how awesome we arein the Chunin Exams!

If you insist

I'll just ace the exam andamaze everyone

and make them see thatBoruto Uzumaki is finally here!

But before that, there's somethingimportant I have to do

What?
