05x210 - Clues to Kara

[bunniefuu]

No problems here.

Aside from the fact that I feel like I could die of boredom.

Above all, it must be done, Code.

For some reason, the Leaf learned of that location.

As a precaution, I changed its coordinates,

but don't let your guard down.

Roger that.

Did you get your scheduled call from Boro?

Boro is dead.

Delta...

He was obliterated without a trace.

I don't see the Hokage anywhere, either.

You went all the way there?

Jigen said that he couldn't get in touch with Boro,

so I had no choice, right?

I see.

Jigen can't move until his chakra is fully restored.

Did Sasuke Uchiha do it?

No, I don't think so.

It looks like he was wiped out by a significantly greater force.

Hmm.

So, what are you going to do?

Are you going to avenge him?

There's no need for that.

I want you to continue keeping an eye on the Ten Tails.

Okay.

But I'm surprised that great cult leader d*ed.

I'm sure his followers are going to be so sad.

Delta, I want you to come back here.

Understood.

Clues to Kara

About the man named Boro, the one Boruto and the others took down...

We found out he was

a leader of a cult centered around the Otsutsuki

that believes in salvation through the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

An Otsutsuki Cult?!

Furthermore, this cult has expanded its influence in the past decade.

It is supported by people from areas that were devastated

by the spread of an unknown pathogen.

Hold on a second!

Boro used viruses.

Does that mean—?!

It's very likely that cult is somehow connected to the Kara.

Kara's hideout, which was in another dimension,

has changed its coordinates, so we've lost track of it.

If they're connected to the cult,

they might have some sort of lead to its whereabouts.

In that case, we should send an investigative team, and—!

It won't be that easy.

The cult is located in a remote area

outside the influence of the Five Great Nations.

We'll need to get through some annoying red tape to get in.

This time, we'll have no choice

but to infiltrate the cult to get the information we need.

Please let me go on this mission.

That's why I've called you here.

I know you've just been discharged from the hospital.

Are you okay?

Please leave it to me!

For this mission, I want you to form a two-man team with Sai.

Looking forward to working with you.

We can't let them keep doing whatever they want.

I'm counting on you, Sai and Konohamaru.

That's the headquarters of the Otsutsuki Cult.

According to Kawaki,

Kara gets around using a teleportation device.

We just have to find that.

How should we handle this?

For now,

let's go to the front entrance.

Welcome, my name is Akari.

I can provide information on how to join our congregation.

Sorry for showing up so suddenly.

We just wanted to meet Lord Boro so badly.

Please, don't worry about it.

We are all family that reveres Lord Boro.

I am impressed you have traveled so far to come here.

Thank you very much.

It's just that Lord Boro is very busy,

so I don't know whether he'll be in today.

I believe his aide Lord Shirabe should know.

I'll take you to him.

Sorry for all the trouble.

It's no trouble at all!

After losing my parents,

my younger brother and I were afflicted by a plague,

but Lord Boro saved us.

Everything we have now is thanks to Lord Boro.

I'm sure if you meet Lord Boro,

a path to salvation will open for you as well.

You have a younger brother?

Yes, I'm quite proud of him!

He was chosen by Lord Boro

to be in service and meet directly with the gods.

That's quite wonderful!

Right this way.

I will guide you.

Okay.

You have travelled so far to get here.

My name is Tsuzumi.

I am Shirabe.

You wanted to meet Lord Boro, correct?

That's right.

We became ill

and had lost hope over what little time we have left to live.

But then, we heard about Lord Boro and this congregation.

We've come all the way here.

I see.

But unfortunately, Lord Boro is not here at the moment.

When will he return?

There's been a new outbreak in a distant village...

So, I don't know for sure...

I see...

Would you like to stay here until Lord Boro returns?

Would that be all right?

Of course!

Thank you very much.

Lord Tsuzumi, Lord Shirabe!

Is it true that Kagari isn't coming back?!

What is it, Akari?

There are visitors present.

Oh... Excuse me.

My brother Kagari was supposed to return today.

It's been three years since he was given his role.

So why?

Oh!

About that, Lord Boro contacted us yesterday,

telling us that he would be extending his duties.

So, that's what happened.

There's no need to worry.

It's wonderful that the gods have requested his presence.

Kagari was one of the chosen, after all.

That's right.

In fact, you should feel proud that he is your younger brother.

Yes, you're right.

I'm sorry for making a fuss.

Now then, please wait here while we make preparations.

My name is Inori. I will be your attendant.

This building was constructed

so Lord Boro could welcome the gods.

Further ahead is the chapel and over there is the auditorium

where Lord Boro gives his enlightening sermons.

There are quite a lot of people here, isn't there?

Many of the believers who live here

ran away from home like I did.

There are people from the neighboring areas who come here,

and we even have visitors from distant lands, like you two.

It's always quite lively.

Everyone has experienced hardship

before finally making their way here.

During the w*r,

Lord Boro experienced the miracle known as the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

He was certain it was a jutsu meant to save people.

Unfortunately...

The Great Nations refused to embrace such sublime perfection.

Wounded and denied of everything,

Lord Boro made his way to this land and formed this congregation.

If you're able to meet Lord Boro,

I'm sure you will recognize how incredible he is!

He will save everyone and then lead them...

to the Cradle of Souls... the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Akari and Inori truly revered Boro, didn't they?

What a horrible situation.

Deceiving people who don't know any better...

About Akari's brother...

They mentioned that Boro contacted them yesterday.

Contacted by Boro, even though he's dead...

That's right.

Let's see if we can find out a little more from Akari.

You want to know about Kagari?

Yes.

I was wondering what sort of things you do once you're chosen.

I'm not quite sure.

I haven't heard from my brother for a long time.

What do you mean?

At first, I received letters.

But suddenly, they stopped coming.

Also...

Is there something else you're concerned about?

Aside from my brother,

there were many other believers chosen by Lord Boro,

but we would lose contact with all of them...

Isn't there anyone who has come back?

There apparently are.

But I've only heard it secondhand...

I'm sorry...

I really shouldn't be thinking like this.

But it just makes me feel uneasy.

I hope he's all right.

My brother Kagari is the only family I have left!

Akari!

I'm sorry, but could you help me for a bit?

Okay!

Please excuse me.

He went to the gods that Boro worships.

It's highly likely that he was taken to the Kara's hideout.

Shall we wait until nightfall?

No, in this situation, we should stir things up.

Lord Boro was k*lled?!

It's just a rumor.

We heard about it from some Hidden Leaf shinobi

we happened to meet along the way here.

We thought it must have been some sort of mistake,

so we came here as fast as we could.

According to everyone,

it seems that Lord Boro is alive and well,

so we were relieved.

Of course, he is!

What a vile rumor.

However, it's possible that something might happen because of it.

Please be careful.

Y-You're right.

Thank you very much.

Well, I have some urgent business to attend to,

so I need to get going.

Lord Tsuzumi.

Is something the matter?

I-It's nothing!

I plan to meditate for a while,

so don't let anyone past this point.

Yes, sir!

Lord Boro! Are you all right?!

Please contact us immediately! Lord Boro!

How interesting.

A hidden room, huh?

Who are you two?!

We're Hidden Leaf shinobi.

Do you mind if we ask you a few questions?

We knew you were panicking

because you were unable to get in touch with Boro.

I'm glad you were so easy to manipulate, hey.

I don't know what you're talking about!

That machine is a Scientific Ninja Tool

that creates viruses, isn't it?

So, that's what Boro used to replenish his supply.

Do you have ties to Kara?

Kara?

I don't know what that is!

I only do what Lord Boro tells me to do!

This is a—!

What's the matter?

This is—!

Let's go after him!

Hey, this is as far as you'll go!

You're not getting away.

We still have questions for you.

You were hit with the virus, but you're still—!

We're immune to it.

Our friends fought Boro, after all.

Wha—?

Lord Tsuzumi?

What's the matter?

Everyone! Bandits have broken in!

Capture these two!

Lord Tsuzumi!

What's going on?!

Bandits!

Bandits!

Capture them!

Wait.

The followers aren't shinobi.

We can't be rough with them.

These men are enemies of Lord Boro!

They're shinobi from the Five Great Nations!

They are?!

Listen to me!

Your leader Boro is a criminal.

He was deceiving all of you.

What are you talking about?

It's the truth.

Boro himself spread a mysterious virus,

so he could save you with the vaccine he created.

We even found a machine that creates viruses

in the lower levels of this place.

He was behind the outbreaks of the mysterious virus

that hit the towns and villages you lived in.

I-Is that true?

It's all lies!

Why would he do that?

Boro was using this cult to gather test subjects for experiments.

I'm sure that some of you have noticed.

That everyone who was selected to meet directly with the gods

has not returned.

This file documents the data from those experiments.

KAGARI DECEASED

No way!

We still don't know the specifics of the file,

but what we do know is that they're all deceased.

Kagari!

Kagari!

What does this all mean?

Then Lord Boro is—!

You're all being deceived!

Please open your eyes!

You're wrong!

Lord Boro is just doing what is necessary to save everyone.

He hasn't deceived us at all.

How can you still say that?!

You cannot comprehend how Lord Boro feels!

Lord Boro truly wanted to save people.

Even after much persecution and gaining great power,

Lord Boro's pure desire never changed.

Lord Boro said...

that there is no need to restrain yourself if you wish to achieve your goals.

You should use whatever means available to save people.

And that with this power, it is possible.

That's why we followed Lord Boro.

It's wonderful!

Lord Boro is truly amazing!

Nothing changes the fact that Lord Boro is our savior.

Because nothing changes the fact that he took us in

and saved us when we had nowhere to go.

Th-That's right!

That's right! Lord Boro isn't wrong!

Now capture those two!

For Lord Boro!

Boro is dead!

Don't be fooled by him anymore!

Huh?

It's the truth.

He's no longer here anymore!

That's a lie.

That's a lie!

I can understand why you'd have a hard time believing it.

But currently, no one can contact Boro.

Isn't that right?

No way!

It's such a pain to be on cleanup duty!

What was that?!

What's going on?!

It seems like we should evacuate everyone.

You handle this area.

Okay!

Akari!

It's dangerous here! Hurry up and—

Inori?!

You must get out of here quickly!

Is Lord Boro really dead?

It's the truth.

Your lives are in danger!

We need to get out of here.

No.

We must wait here for Lord Boro...

What are you saying?

Lord Boro cannot die.

We must wait here so that Lord Boro can return at any time.

I'm telling you he's dead!

Shut up!

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

We don't belong anywhere else!

Lord Boro is the only one who can save us!

I won't believe anything you say!

You cannot save us.

It's her!

Didn't Lord Seventh defeat her?!

Konohamaru!

This is the last area left! Hurry!

O-Okay!

I destroyed the teleportation device,

so this should be good enough, right?

Kagari...

All we could obtain

KAGARI DECEASED

was this file and this vial which contains the virus.

Boro was using the cult to gather potential Vessels, huh?

However, I didn't expect Delta would return.

There's a lot we don't know.

What happened to the congregation there?

That facility was almost entirely destroyed.

We couldn't save them.

Unfortunately, we couldn't get any leads

on their whereabouts yet again.

That's what's so terrifying about Kara.

I don't want them

to get away with doing what they want ever again!

Yeah, that's right.

Unless we defeat Jigen and destroy Kara,

no one will be able to live in peace.

We can't afford to lose, you know!

Did you hear about the sketchy man in a cloak

who showed up at the Village Archives?

It seems there was no evidence

of anyone questionable from outside the village entering.

Could it be an inside job?

Let's catch him! It's like a detective drama!

A mystery! It's a mystery!

Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:

THE CHASE

"The Chase"

I'll tell you what I think...

I think the suspect is still hiding in the village!
