01x15 - A New Path

[bunniefuu]

It's been several weeks
since that time,

and the strange power in
my eye stopped activating.

Is it because the Ghost is gone…or?

Boruto…?

Hurry and eat your breakfast,
or you'll be late!

I'll be right there, ya know!

Oh well, whatever.

THOUSAND HAND PARK
FREE ADMISSION
"A New Path"

"A New Path"

Over here! Over here!

Everything's back to
normal here, huh?

It was such a drag.

So, what happened
to Sumire Kakei?

She confessed about everything.

I see…

One thing still sticks…

What made her stop at
the very last minute?

It was Boruto…

To be more exact,
all her friends at the Academy.

She had been all alone
for so long.

The life she had with her friends
was really fun for her.

What?

So that's what it was?

There were students from
the Academy at the scene?

No.

She experienced
Nue's power firsthand.

Maybe the terrifying thought
of destroying

the village that holds the memories
of her friends, stopped her.

Is that really it?

I'm sure that…

Okay, I understand.

Children can't choose their parents.

But they can choose their friends.

Thank you!

I'm glad…

That we approved her admission
into the Academy.

Yeah.

About that…

Letting her stay on at the Academy
might cause a strain.

SAFETY FIRST

3 PEOPLE, ONE TEAM

3 PEOPLE, ONE TEAM
Construction at the school
will be completed soon.

In other words, that spells the end
of having classes out here.

Finally, we're free from
being out here!

So today, we'll be forming
new three-man teams.

Are you saying we'll be in different teams
from the ones we formed before?

Yes.

We'll try different formations

to find which members will be compatible
as a team after graduation.

What about Class Rep…

I mean, Miss Kakei?

She's been absent for so long.

We don't know when
she'll return.

Until she's physically better,

it's impossible for her to participate
in shinobi training.

Is it possible that
she's quitting the Academy?

I…don't know.

The only thing we can do is wait.

Anyway, we'll be forming teams

with whoever is
in attendance for today.

I understand.

I tried to go and visit her,
but we were turned away.

Maybe Sensei's right and
we should leave her alone.

After you team up,
confirm each of your formations.

We'll be starting practical training
from tomorrow.

Who should we choose this time?

I'm teaming up with you, Boruto.

Again?

Isn't there anyone else
you can choose?

I want to keep watching
you up close.

I knew you'd say that.

But right now, only Mitsuki and Iwabe
can keep up with you, Boruto.

Who are you gonna team up with?

Denki and I are teaming up.

Huh?

For real?

Yeah, Iwabe asked me.

Got a problem with that?

Well then, maybe we should
ask Shikadai?

Sorry, Boruto.
I'm already on a team.

Hey! You guys are
the Ino-Shika-Cho trio!

I didn't see why we had
to be on the team

just because our parents were,

so I kept avoiding it all this time.

I know that our jutsu
compatibility isn't bad…

Besides, some comedy groups
aren't friends at all,

but as long as their skills
and talent are on point…

There's a little bit of underlying tension
that's good for our relationship!

So, for you guys,
this is kind of the ultimate match up!

It's a drag, on all fronts.

Well, too bad.

Let's go check out the others.

By the way,
I already asked Sarada.

I see…

You'll be the front man,
with Sarada and Denki assisting?

How did you know?

Your end goal is simple.

But it's not bad.

R-Really?

No luck here either, huh?

What about Metal?

Oh, he's not bad.

When he controls his nervousness,
he's really strong!

Personally, I wanted to
ask the Class Rep.

Since she's strong.

Hey, Mitsuki!

Don't say it so loud.

That's right.

The Ghost hasn't appeared
since then.

Yeah.

My eye stopped activating too.

Once the Leaf Police took over,
there was nothing left for us to do.

I guess the case is closed.

I wonder how
the Class Rep is doing…

She committed treason
against the village.

It's probably impossible for her
to return to the Academy.

No way!

She's definitely gonna return.

How do you know?

Because the Class Rep
is the Class Rep.

What's that mean?

Anyway, what happens will
be up to the grown-ups.

The grown-ups, huh?

Hey…

What are you gonna do
about our third member?

PERSEVERANCE AND HARD WORK

The report on Sumire Kakei
just came in.

Yes…

She's currently under
the Leaf Police's custody

to prevent contact with
other Foundation survivors.

When will she be returning
to the Academy?

Ultimately, she'll probably fall
under protective surveillance…

But whether they'll allow

a student who caused such a disturbance
back into the Academy is…

I'll watch over her.

If she's allowed back
into the Academy,

I'd like to take her under my wing.

I understand how you feel.

Then—!

Hold on.

The issue is how she herself feels.

She's in an extremely
tough position right now.

And if she doesn't want
to come back…

I'm going to go see her now.

Because I'm her homeroom teacher.

I'm home!

– Welcome back!
– Welcome back!

Oh, welcome back!

Dad! How come you're here?!

What's wrong with me being here?

Even I get to come home
early sometimes.

Huh?

What's the matter?

Dad…

There's something
I wanna ask you.

What is it?

You rarely ask me anything.

It's about a friend from my class…

Oh, you mean Sumire Kakei?

She got hurt and
she's recuperating, right?

No, not that!

I know what she did, ya know!

Himawari, can you come
help me with dinner?

Okay!

The Class Rep is our friend.

I know that.

She's in a difficult spot right now.

But let me handle this.

I won't let her down.

Then let her return
to the Academy!

I can't answer that right now.

Why not?

You're the Hokage, aren't you, Dad?!

Being the Hokage doesn't mean
I can do whatever I please.

I have to consider the welfare
of the entire village.

Don't worry.

Like I said, I won't let her down.

But try not to stick your nose
into dangerous situations.

What's that supposed to mean?!

When I do something, I do it, ya know!

Dinner's ready!

All right.

Something smells really good!

Hey wait!

Let's eat before the food gets cold.

Just listen to what I have to say,
stupid old man!

Are…

Are you feeling better?

Yes.

Sensei…

I know that what I did
was unforgiveable.

I have to take responsibility
and make amends,

for the sake of everyone who
considered someone like me, a friend.

There's no need to rush
into a decision.

But, Sensei, I took your chakra!

Don't worry about it.

Huh?

That actually gave me the opportunity
to grow as a teacher.

How can you say that?

Your detention is about to end.

The reason is because…
fortunately, no one was hurt.

But let me say just one thing.

If you don't give up on yourself,

the choices you failed
to see until now,

will become clear to you.

If you wish,

I can get them to prepare
a place outside the village

where you can think this through.

That's because sometimes,

running away isn't something
to be ashamed of.

You have time.

The Gozu Tennou
no longer is inside your body.

Your body is yours,
and yours alone now.

Sensei…

Out of the blue,

my dad's gathered files
on academies in other villages.

Huh? You are going to transfer, Inojin?

Why would I?

Could it be the Class Rep?

Huh?!

I don't know,

but my dad was the person
in charge of the recent investigation…

I guess returning to the Academy
would be a little tough…

That's…

You didn't tell Boruto about this, did you?

No.

If he finds out,

something troublesome
is gonna happen.

We should keep this quiet for now…

Today, we're going to
conduct battle training

at this scaffold that
was built at the school.

It's similar to that last lesson

when we ended up
demolishing the school.

Then this is probably going
to turn out the same way.

I believe in you all.

However, I want to
emphasize one thing.

The most important thing for
this training session is that…

…you absolutely must not damage
the school in any—!

All right! I can't wait to get started!

Two teams will begin
at the same time,

and make their way from
the bottom to the top.

The first team to have their member
reach the top, wins.

Obstructing your opponent is allowed.

This training is bad for my heart…

Are you okay, Sensei?

Yeah… I'll manage.

Um… Can I ask why you decided
to do this training?

We don't want you to
be traumatized

by the fact that you destroyed
the school…

So, the principal wanted
to give you an experience

that was positive and successful.

We're not traumatized or anything…

Aburame Sensei…

What? Sumire Kakei has—?!

Sorry, can you take over?

Oh, Sensei!

Go, Chubs!

Chubby but I've got moves!

Humph…

Hey, Metal!

Everyone's watching you.

You've gotta be kidding…

Cho Cho, go on ahead!

Show them your latent chubby power!

When chubby moves,
no one else is stronger!

I'm not done yet!

Mitsuki!

These guys don't amount to much.

You're right.

But it all depends on how I use it…

I see…

That's what it is.

Well?

Just as good as Boruto, eh?

Mitsuki!

We can't win like this.

I knew it…

These guys make tough opponents.

Hey, Boruto.

Is it okay if I try something new too?

Sure! Try anything!

Damn it!

Here, maybe?

Looks like we win!

There you go, doing something
super messed up…

What are you talking about?

It's what we always do.

Besides, Boruto recognized
what I was trying to do.

One fool just multiplied into two.

How was that, Shino Sensei!

What?

Sarada, where's the Sensei?

I don't know.

He rushed off saying something
about the Class Rep.

Could it be?

Do you know something?

Huh? Oh no…it's just…

The Class Rep might transfer
to another school.

What the hell is that about?

That's the first time I'm hearing this.

I wonder what's going to
happen to the Class Rep?

Wait, Boruto!

Shut up!

While we're wasting time here,
the Class Rep might…

Oh!

Huh?

Sensei?

I'm back, everyone!

Sumire!

Sumire!

– Class Rep!
– Huh? Hey…

Class Rep!

We were worried…

Just a sec, everyone…

Aw, Class Rep,
where's your usual reaction?

It seems one more person
made an unthinkable choice.

So everything's back to normal?

Who knows?

Maybe it's gotten worse than before.

What's wrong, Sumire?

Hey, what'd you do to her?!

Why are you looking at me?

I didn't do anything!

Cut it out!

Sasuke!

You're late.

You know…

I may be a clone,
but it took me a while to get here.

I don't even know
the way home now, damn it.

Where are we anyway?!

Don't ask me.

So, where's the scroll?

It's hard to believe

that Danzo got this close
to Kaguya's Hidden Jutsu…

Is that what it is?

I didn't get it at all.

But with this,
I may be able to get closer to

the Time-Space
where Kaguya existed.

Hey, you're leaving already?

What's wrong with coming back
to the village for a while?

Naruto…

Give Sakura a message for me.

Tell her, I'm sorry for everything.

I'm the one who's sorry.

The gate that Nue opened
has been sealed.

Jougan's turn won't be
coming up for a while.

However…it's only temporary.

In time, the gods will…

descend upon this land.

Hmm…

Finally, an adequate harvest.

How did it go?

I found tears in Kaguya's world.

The space curvature exceeds 16.

Oh?

We were supposed to wait
to harvest that world.

Anything over ten in the space curvature
is an abnormality and

must be reported immediately
to the clan. That is law.

That she's chosen to disobey, means…

How very out of character.

Or…

Kinshiki, make preparations to depart.

Right.

Denki, don't you think
you're being a little impatient?

It's the first time
I haven't been able to pass a test.

If I fail the ninjutsu test,

I'll be known as
The Repeater Denki!

Huh?

Actually, you were being called
The Repeater Iwabe before…

Huh?!

At this rate,
I'll end up being your senior!

Huh!

Next time on Boruto
Naruto Next Generations:

"Crisis: The thr*at of Failing!"

I'm depending
on you, Iwabe!

Oh…

CRISIS: THE thr*at OF FAILING!
