05x249 - Burgeoning Hatred

[bunniefuu]

With this, we should be okay for a while.

I'm glad we got relief supplies... from the Hidden Mist...

I feel bad for the guys who went searching for food,

because they ended up getting caught by the Funato.

Iwabe and Denki were just unlucky.

It's been three days since they've been gone.

He still hasn't given up on them, though.

Denki!

Iwabe!

Where in the world are you two?!

Denki!

Iwabe!

I see... Nothing, huh?

They're not over here.

Same here.

I absolutely will not give up.

Denki!

Iwabe!

Denki!

Iwabe!

He's a Funato soldier!

Funato...

Burgeoning Hatred

He's with Funamushi, the guy who k*lled Kagura and Hebiichigo!

Why are we treating his wounds?

We can't ignore someone who is injured!

That's why you're so naïve!

We heard you found a Funato who was left behind.

He's Kagura's enemy!

Why are you helping him?!

We know that.

But we can't k*ll someone who's unable to fight back.

Besides, we might be able to get some information

regarding Iwabe and Denki.

Kagura d*ed to protect the village!

We can't let him live!

We avenged Kagura!

Funamushi is dead.

That's already been settled.

Don't you feel we paid a heavy price to achieve that?

Aren't casualties a part of w*r?

That's exactly why we can't afford to leave the Funato be.

Araumi's still alive, right?

To ensure no further casualties occur...

let's join up quickly with the unit from the Hidden Mist

and annihilate the Funato.

If we don't, Hebiichigo won't be able to rest in peace.

Uh-huh.

But we can't just leave Denki and Iwabe.

Please wait a little longer!

Are you still hung up on that?

They're dead!

Those two would never die so easily!

Isn't the possibility of your friends "dying easily"

just a part of w*r?

Even Hebiichigo was k*lled.

What good would it do for Funamushi to let them live?

But still!

It seems you still haven't given up,

but if those two were still alive,

they would have already used them as a bargaining chip.

But that is...

Anyway, I understand we can't stay here in this village forever.

Please, just give us one more day.

One more day.

I won't wait any longer.

What's the matter?

No, it's nothing.

It's just...

I thought I'd feel better if I avenged Kagura.

But it just doesn't feel right.

Yeah, I know.

We also lost Hebiichigo.

I'm the captain. It's my fault.

You're not the only one at fault, Sarada.

I wonder what Kagura would think about all of this...

I'm sure Kagura's happy that we protected the village.

That's true.

Tomorrow, we'll find Iwabe and Denki,

and bring them back home.

Yeah.

You're all leaving tomorrow, aren't you?

The w*r... isn't over.

Hey, Kyoho...

Why don't you stay here in the village?

With a shinobi like you around,

I'm sure that everyone can live in peace.

I can stay here?

Of course you can!

That's right!

Since you didn't turn us down,

does that mean you're kinda interested?

No one's ever asked me something like that before...

Well, think it over.

Kagura...

Thanks to your petition, we've been pardoned.

Hebiichigo...

You were the one who wanted this more than any of us.

To think that you'd get pardoned, after death set you free...

How ironic.

Hebiichigo's... happy about it in the afterlife!

I hope so.

The Hidden Mist...

wants us to hurry up and join... the w*r against the Funato.

They don't need to ask.

We'll avenge Kagura and Hebiichigo.

Isn't that right?

Denki!

Iwabe!

Are you still hung up on that?

They're dead!

After all of this searching, we still have not found them.

Are they really—?!

What do I do from here on?

Denki!

Iwabe!

Metal!

What happened?!

Huh?

Did something happen to Boruto and the others?!

Umm...

You are not ghosts, are you?

Of course not!

Iwabe, Denki, you were alive!

Thank goodness!

I was so worried!

Like I'd die!

Don't just assume we're dead.

Denki?!

Iwabe!

We're very glad you're safe.

Everyone was worried when you two didn't come back.

We totally thought they k*lled you.

Tell us what happened, ya know!

Oh, yeah.

When they captured us,

we totally thought they were going to k*ll us.

Get out of here!

Iwabe!

Lord Funamushi!

We found Leaf Shinobi in the forest.

Leaf Shinobi?

You bastard!

How dare you k*ll Kagura!

It seems they were looking for food for the children.

Food for the children?

We should k*ll them as a warning

and send their bodies to the village.

Tie them up and lock them away.

But—!

That's enough!

Yes, sir!

We need to get back to the village as soon as possible.

Metal must be worried.

Damn it!

I'm not dying here!

Hurry!

Lord Funamushi was taken down!

Inform Lord Araumi immediately!

Hurry!

Retreat to the island!

All right, now's our chance!

There aren't any lookouts!

We escaped because the soldiers retreated.

It seemed like the Funato soldiers

didn't have the time to be dealing with us.

I see.

Anyway, I'm glad you're safe.

That's right.

But why didn't Funamushi k*ll you guys?

Well...

This is just our theory, but...

We think that Funamushi didn't k*ll us because

he learned we were searching for food for the children.

Since they took us prisoner,

you would assume that they would use us

in negotiations with the Hidden Mist.

But Funamushi didn't do that, either.

Hold on!

This isthe Funamushi who k*lled Kagura and Hebiichigo!

That's impossible!

I couldn't believe it myself.

But we can't think of any other reason why he'd let us live!

This must be some sort of mistake, ya know.

Who cares if it is?

These guys came back.

Let's hurry and join up with the Hidden Mist.

That's right.

Everyone, let's get an early night

in preparation for heading out tomorrow.

Like I can just go to sleep!

Where are you going?

I'm going to do a bit of scouting.

Are you going to leave, after all?

I can't abandon my friends.

And besides, I want to help Buntan avenge our friends.

That makes sense.

Be careful.

Thank you.

Take care, you two.

This is just our theory, but...

We think that Funamushi didn't k*ll us because

he learned we were searching for food for the children.

That can't be it, ya know.

You're with the Funato, aren't you?!

I knew there were still some of you out here.

You're not getting away!

Wind Style: Gale Palm!

My friends will be here soon.

You can't run away, ya know!

You bastard!

You're not getting away with this!

A kid?!

This is to avenge my dad!

Your dad?

Hey! Hold on a second!

Avenge?

There must be some sort of mistake, ya know!

I'm telling you, you've got the wrong person!

There's no mistake!

You're the Leaf Shinobi Boruto Uzumaki, aren't you?!

Yeah, I am, but...

I don't know your father.

Don't lie!

You're the one who k*lled Funamushi,

Lady Seiren's right-hand man!

Funamushi?!

I'm his only son, Kobuna!

That mark on your face!

This mark is a vow I made to get my revenge!

Revenge?

I came all this way with Gokai to avenge my dad.

To avenge him?

I'll never forgive you for k*lling my dad!

I'll never forgive the Funato!

This is for Kagura.

Boruto Uzumaki, get ready!

Boruto! What are you doing?!

Lord Kobuna!

Please get back!

Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!

Lord Kobuna, let's withdraw for now!

Boruto Uzumaki!

I will definitely k*ll you...

and avenge my dad!

Avenge?

Wait!

Boruto! Snap out of it!

I'm responsible... for k*lling his dad.

What do you mean?

What happened?

He said he was Funamushi's son.

Funamushi's—?

He said he was going to get his revenge.

This is like a bad joke, isn't it?

Boruto...

Is it the Funato?!

Yeah. But they got away.

Boruto? What's the matter?

Were you really that shocked when he said he was avenging his dad?

This is w*r, you know.

It's only natural that you'd make enemies.

He said... he wouldn't forgive me.

I said the same thing, ya know.

I didn't want to forgive Funamushi, either.

Funamushi k*lled Kagura!

And he k*lled Hebiichigo!

We're just avenging their deaths!

I know that!

But we robbed that kid of his dad!

In that case, don't go into battles to begin with, you brat!

You don't know anything!

Boruto!

Damn it!

You're quite amazing, aren't you?

Huh?

You're always able to bare your feelings

and clash with people just like now.

I can't tell if you're complimenting me or dissing me.

I just don't get that part of you!

You may be right.

I'm not good at expressing myself and interacting like you are.

Everyone has their own way of interacting

and expressing themselves.

You have your own way of doing things, don't you?

My own way?

You've known him for a long time, right?

I'm just saying you should already have a way of interacting with him,

that's not like mine, where I'm aggressive all the time.

Let's go.

What are you doing?!

Isn't it obvious?

I'm going to squeeze this guy for information on the Funato.

If you give us information, we'll let you go.

If you don't, you'll suffer.

Hold on a second!

Before that, there's something I want to ask everyone.

Earlier...

Funamushi's kid came after my life.

That means they are still on this island!

We'll catch him!

I'll... search too.

That's not what I'm asking!

I'm not talking about tracking him down and dealing with him.

What are you saying? You're not making any sense.

We defeated Funamushi and avenged Kagura.

But now, I'm responsible for k*lling his dad.

I was wondering...

if we should even continue fighting?

I'm going to fight until the Funato are defeated.

But don't you think that fighting them might be wrong?

They were the ones who started this!

What's the problem with taking the Funato down?

That's true, but by fighting,

don't you think we might be the ones breeding hatred?

What are you saying at this point?

I want to fight the Funato for Miss Hebiichigo.

I cannot forgive them so easily.

Metal...

If we ignore the Funato,

we don't know when they'll att*ck the village again.

I want the Funato to be destroyed before it's too late.

We have no choice but to get them before they get us!

Yeah!

I think Boruto has a point.

Yeah.

Perhaps the Funato have some circumstances of their own.

What?

What kind of circumstances?!

Please, stop!

You said fighting breeds hatred,

but if we stop fighting now, nothing will be resolved!

But if we continue fighting, there may be more casualties.

And when that happens, will we be avenging them as well?

What's so funny?

Leaf Shinobi sure are cowards, aren't they?

I just don't want this cycle of revenge

to continue any longer, ya know!

It's already too late.

What do you mean?

It means Master Kobuna isn't the only one who hates you.

You've been an enemy of the Funato Clan from much earlier.

Stop making stuff up!

I'm telling the truth.

I'll tell you more.

You critically injured Lady Seiren.

Her younger brother is Lord Ikada!

Ikada?!

Seiren's younger brother...

A Funato...

How much more time are you going to spend taking care of Seiren?!

Father, aren't you worried about Big Sister?

You being there won't affect anything.

Whatever will be will be.

You have other responsibilities!
