03x146 - Executing the Prison Break!

[bunniefuu]

The entrance to the t*nk is up ahead.

Yeah, Sarada's filled the t*nk with water and she's waiting for us.

That's where we'll release your Celestial Prison.

How's the rest of the route?

I sent my snakes to keep watch.

They'll alert me if the guards make a move.

All right, let's go!

Kokuri, aren't you originally a ninja?

I'm ashamed to admit it.

I've just been bookkeeping for so long…

There's the entrance to the t*nk.

Be careful.

Sorry!

Hey, Boruto?

What's wrong?

There's been no word from Sarada.

Everything's gonna be okay with the t*nk, right?

Am I just worrying too much?

Sarada will figure something out. I know it.

Executing the Prison Break!

The girl boasted that

she had condemning information about me or whatever…

Damn it! Where is it?!

They're in cahoots with each other!

Don't tell me—!

What's the big idea, this late at night?

The Celestial Prison! How?!

Never mind that! Just find them, quick!

Yes, sir!

If they're found, don't confront them.

Just notify me immediately.

Did someone break out?

Serves you right!

Let us out too!

I can't believe you're the only one who stayed behind, Kedama.

Well, I give you high marks for not going with them.

Let me give you a chance.

Where are Boruto and the others?

If you speak up, I'll consider giving you special treatment.

Who knows?

I'm a deep sleeper.

Those brats are such fools.

Not even a rat can slip out of this castle.

I was wondering what he was doing so secretively.

So, he was making a hole with his jutsu.

We have to hurry.

Looks like they found my Shadow Clone.

Oh, right. When I was fighting Benga, I fell down the hole.

Who would've imagined there was a place like this within Hozuki Castle?

But how come there's sea water underground?

Never mind. I have to rendezvous with Boruto and the others!

I wish I knew which way to go at least.

I'm closer to the ceiling than earlier!

It will be bad if the water level keeps rising.

They're after the old t*nk.

Pretty sharp for a brat.

But thanks to her, I can deal with the escapees myself.

He's my golden goose, and I won't let him get away.

Go!

It's time to eat.

Anyone coming after us?

I only detect our footsteps.

They're not here yet.

According to the blueprint, the t*nk isn't too far away.

It would be great now, if Sarada's succeeded on her side.

We don't have to worry about her.

What was that roar?

It's coming.

Huh?

We don't have the time to play with dogs!

Boruto!

I'm okay!

Kokuri, get back!

Okay!

I'm gonna need you to stay quiet for a little bit!

Right there!

Did you get 'em?!

That didn't work too well.

Damn it!

Get back!

Lightning Style: Lightning Strike!

Hey, why did you—?

The ceiling was on the verge of collapse.

It shouldn't come after us for a while.

Thanks, Mitsuki!

Let's hurry to the t*nk.

We have to release Kokuri's Celestial Prison

as soon as possible and meet up with Sarada.

Yeah, you're right.

Just hang in there a little longer, Kokuri.

Uh-huh!

Um… Next, we have to…

Hey, what's the matter?

Listen carefully!

It's the sound of water!

As one would expect from Sarada!

She succeeded in filling the t*nk with water, huh?

Good job noticing it, Kokuri!

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

I'll finally be free of the Celestial Prison at last!

All right! Now, all that's left is to get out of Hozuki Castle!

What is this?!

Wait! This is terrible!

How can this be?!

What's going on?

Too bad.

There's not a drop of water that I can give you.

Time to take out the trash, once and for all.

Let's keep going, Kokuri.

They'll find us if we stay here.

But at this rate, the Celestial Prison in me will…

Just trust us, for now.

That guard dog from earlier!

We have to keep going.

We have to avoid fighting as much as possible.

Cha!

It's the same, no matter how many times I try, huh?

I'll drown at this rate.

Calm down!

Should I dive down and look for an exit?

But in this situation, the risk is too high…

Thank you for rescuing me.

You're Mr. Kedama, right?

Yeah.

Why did you save me?

Who knows? Call it a whim, plain and simple.

But how did you know about this place?

Long ago, I had a plan to break out,

and this was where I was going to release my Celestial Prison.

On nights like this, during the spring tide,

seawater rises, and this entire area gets submerged.

That explains the seawater rising suddenly.

But never mind that.

Benga knows about the prison break.

That's bad!

I have to rendezvous with Boruto and the others!

Are you okay with this?

If you meet up with them, you'll end up being pursued too.

There's no turning back.

I understand that!

The t*nk is up there.

If you stay on the path and go up the slope, you'll see it.

Better hurry. This place will be submerged any minute now.

Thank you so much!

There's no water!

They must have gone ahead.

But then, the Celestial Prison is—!

Barrier Sealing Tags?

Are you okay, Kokuri?!

I'm fine, but…

The Celestial Prison is—!

That seems to be the border of Hozuki Castle.

We can't go any further.

Damn it!

If we can only release the Celestial Prison,

we can leave any time!

Mitsuki, let's look for a place where there's lots of water.

In the meantime, Kokuri, stay here.

Looks like we have to take care of something first.

Like I'd let you!

Fire Style: Flame Capture!

You did pretty well for some brats.

But I won't let you have Kokuri.

Kokuri's my precious golden goose.

He's mine.

Benga!

Damn you!

That's a Ninja Hound Summoning

passed down to countless generations of prison wardens

to hunt down escapees.

He can tear the body of an escapee in two!

Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!

Damn it, we're almost there!

Kokuri!

The sealing mark of the Celestial Prison will burn a human from the inside out.

Watch closely as Kokuri dies, writhing in pain!

Stop messing around!

There's no way we'd let him die!

Sarada!

Oh, so you were able to escape.

But whatever you try, it's too late.

You sound so confident.

I am!

There's not even a cup of water to be found here.

No one can extinguish the Celestial Prison's flames

that will end up consuming Kokuri.

Well, sorry to disappoint you!

What do you mean?

Today's the spring tide.

There's lots of water…right there!

Cha!

Kokuri!

Are you all right?

I really thought I was gonna die.

You did it!

We owe you, Sarada!

I knew that there was water brimming underground.

Because of it, I nearly drowned…

But never mind that. Over here! Hurry!

What a coincidence.

You're taking an evening stroll too?

If you bribe the guards, you get to walk around at this hour?

Hey, c'mon. You're one to talk.

Hey, you didn't help the escapees, did you?

You're welcome to snitch if you want…

Huh?

To your friend, Benga.

You think a guy like him is my friend?!

I'm just—!

Has your Celestial Prison been released?

So, your jutsu is—?

No, don't! I won't say a word to Benga.

I just needed his influence to survive in here!

Why?

Why would you help a prison break

that wouldn't benefit you in any way?

What's in it for you?

I've been rewarded many times over.

They succeeded at something I couldn't do.

What are you doing?!

Oh, Mr. Benga!

The prisoners won't settle down since they learned about the break-out.

I was about to contact the Hidden Grass to send reinforcements…

That's uncalled for!

But, at this rate—!

I said, that's uncalled for!

Listen up.

I took care of Kokuri with my own hands.

Now give me the money you promised me!

How pitiful.

Huh?

That's the voice of a man whose luck has run out.

When that happens, nothing he does goes right.

What are you saying?

Stop lying.

Or your luck will get worse.

I'm not lying!

Let me out of here and release my Celestial Prison.

I can't do that!

I'll be satisfied as long as Kokuri is gone.

I'll even get rid of those brats for you.

Then your luck will return to you.

You better keep your promise.

Release!

This is great!

I feel revitalized!

Oh, that's right!

Huh?

Your face portends bad luck.

Did we make it?

Yeah.

When morning comes, the food supply ship should arrive.

We just have to bear with it a little longer.

Yes! Yes, we did it!

Hey, keep it down or the guards will hear you.

Sorry!

But…

This means we're getting out of Hozuki Castle, right?

I owe you guys, Boruto.

Don't worry about—!

Shall we test your luck one last time?

You're…Tsukiyo!

There's a full moon tonight.

And the moonlight is so nice.

We finally meet, Kokuri.

T-Tsukiyo! Why are you here?!

This is Tsukiyo?

But there're four of us.

We won't lose fighting against just one person!

I wonder how far you can protect him.

Let's test your luck one last time.

Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:

"The Fateful Moonlit Battle"

There's a full moon out tonight,

so my jutsu can manifest at its utmost power!
