04x187 - Karma

[bunniefuu]

Karma

Good grief.

In any case, well done, all of you.

This task far exceeded the scope of a genin mission!

You're quite right!

They're shinobi anyone can be proud of anywhere!

The future looks bright.

Koji Kashin!

Summoning: Steam Toad!

Water Style: Water Shockwave!

Boruto! Are you okay?!

Old Man!

Did you just save me?

Ao, the hero of the Hidden Mist.

Using ninjutsu at the very end like that…

Was it just reflex?

Or did you stubbornly wish to leave this world as a shinobi?

I can't believe he couldn't complete this mission.

It seems I had put a little too much faith in him as an Outer.

Is he with Ao?!

So that means he's part of the Kara too!

The Kara!

Who is he?!

I sense strange chakra.

He's no ordinary man!

I am Koji Kashin.

Nice to meet you, Boruto Uzumaki.

That was a truly magnificent battle.

I'm in awe that you managed to defeat Ao.

You were watching the entire time your friend was getting beaten?

A shinobi with emotions is useless.

But there are uses for tools that only perform missions…

You bastard!

Shinobi aren't tools you throw away once you're done with them!

I'm not so sure about that.

You said your name was Koji Kashin, right?

In addition to your introduction, could you tell us

what kind of organization the Kara is?

What are you trying to achieve?!

Sorry.

I didn't show myself in order to answer all of your questions.

You understand, don't you?

Sealing Jutsu Frog Gulp.

I can't move!

It's such a shame…

Truthfully, I would have rather kept watching you in action,

but you see, I have a position to maintain.

You know too much.

I can't let you live.

Sealing Jutsu!

Release!

I'm more cautious than I look.

I'm glad I prepared that just in case!

I guess I should have expected just as much.

Big Bro!

Don't worry.

Hey, I'll protect you all, even if it costs me my life!

– Sensei! – Sensei!

Fine.

Why don't you show me…

what a Leaf jonin is capable of?

Big Bro!

Fire Style: Fire Dragon b*mb!

That sort of ninjutsu won't work on me.

Damn it!

Big Bro!

Hey, don't worry about me!

This man's strength is leagues above Ao's!

So, is this is the power of the Kara?

Is this the best a Leaf jonin can do?

Rasengan!

What?!

No way!

He's got one too?

A Rasengan?!

Impossible!

That was an actual Rasengan!

Who is he?!

How is there another person who can use the Rasengan?!

Who the hell are you?

Konohamaru Sarutobi…

Your technique is good, but you still have a long way to go.

What did you say?

Big Bro!

The Trance of True Flames.

Neither gale nor deluge can extinguish those flames.

Sensei!

Lord Konohamaru!

Damn it!

Stop!

Stop it!

Stop… it!

Karma?!

He released the paralysis!

Boruto absorbed the Sealing Jutsu?!

Big Bro!

He's absorbing the flames?

What is happening?!

Sensei!

I'm astonished.

What a surprise to set eyes on the Karma here.

So, Boruto Uzumaki… you're the one that Momoshiki chose.

Shut up, you bastard!

Stop talking down to us!

Sensei!

What's going on?

Is that… Boruto?!

That mark on his hand has spread.

What is that power?

Young Lord!

Boruto!

What the hell… is going on?

What's happening to me?!

Boruto!

Boruto!

I see…

It seems this was the first time he used the power.

The power?

I'll withdraw for the moment.

Think of it as a reward for showing me something interesting.

But give your thanks to the late Ao.

Wait a second!

What was that power just now?

What just happened to Boruto?!

I said wait!

Sarada!

Calm down.

I have a ton of questions for him too.

But do you really want to risk Sensei and Boruto's lives?

Quite wise of you.

As one would expect from Orochimaru's child.

A good decision indeed.

Looks like we made it out with our lives.

I'm telling you I'm fine already.

I can walk on my own, ya know?

It doesn't matter. Don't push yourself.

Earlier, you were passed out like you were dead.

I'm amazed that you're even standing.

I swear, I'm totally fine right now.

I won't forgive him for what he did to Mugino.

But Ao d*ed as a shinobi.

In the end, he chose to save you.

Let's quietly send him off as a hero.

Old Man Ao.

Who is Koji Kashin?

Every member of the Kara that we've fought had superhuman abilities.

But he used genuine ninjutsu.

Even if he used ninjutsu, I don't consider him a shinobi.

Not someone who treats his comrades like tools.

Koji Kashin and Boro are the only ones left, huh?

There doesn't seem to be anything sketchy about Code.

There was nothing suspicious about Code or Boro.

I guess it's Koji… He can't be trusted…

Why is it always him?

Don't complain to me if you start crying from the pain.

It doesn't hurt at all anymore, damn it!

You're overreacting, ya know?

There really doesn't seem to be anything wrong right now…

What was that power?

Anyway, we're heading back to the village.

Why?!

We're postponing the search for the contents of that container for now.

Old Man Ao was searching so desperately for it.

We can't give up now!

No way! You need to think about your health!

Besides, I have a mountain of things I need to report.

You're right.

I am exhausted.

Shouldn't we search for Chamaru?

He's a Ninja Hound, so there's no need to worry.

If anything happens, he'll return to the lab on his own.

Okay, if you say so.

I wonder what they were looking for that was inside the container?

I don't know.

But the Kara's doing everything they can to find it.

It must be quite valuable.

Did something happen here?

Wait! Mitsuki!

Hold on! You can't push yourself yet!

Hey, what's up?

Those things…

Hey! Those are…

Puppets!

Like the ones we fought by the airship!

You're right!

What are they doing here?

Weren't they protecting what was inside the container?

The crash site is farther off.

They seem to be different from the ones we fought.

What's going on?!

Did someone battle these Puppets here?

Let's look around.

It's completely cold.

Some time has passed since it was destroyed.

This Puppet's been completely wrecked.

We couldn't even dent them even when we went all out!

That means the person who did this…

had incredible combat ability.

Look.

There are several other Puppets that were destroyed in the same way.

But why here, a location so far from the airship?

Maybe… whoever took the cargo ran in this direction?

Chamaru! Where were you?!

Someone's on the ground!

There's a Puppet next to him.

Is he the one who wrecked those Puppets?

Based on Chamaru's reaction, he's still alive.

We don't know if he's friend or foe.

But we might be able to get some intel

on the airship or Kara from him.

There's also a possibility that this is a trap.

This is not the time to be saying things like that!

He's passed out from his injuries!

Hold on, Boruto!

Hey! Are you all right?!

Pull yourself—!

That's–!

He's got the same mark as me?!

What's going on?

Who…

is he?!

He took down all these Puppets by himself?!

He must have really exhausted himself.

He's out cold,

but none of his injuries are more than just scratches.

What's of concern is the mark on his left hand.

The same as Boruto's?

Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:

"Awakening"

AWAKENING

Maybe he might know something about the mark!
