If you can't concern yourself with me,
I'll dispose of you.
Go ahead and try.
That's too bad.
What the—?!
I can't move my hands.
See?
You can't, can you?
I'm sorry, Code.
I wasn't ignoring you.
You see... I've been asleep for a long time, so...
I was worried about having bad breath.
Bug.
Guide him to the bar.
Y-Yes, ma'am.
Captives
What I did lacked class...
Hey, Bug... what do you think?
Is she interested in me?
Don't be stupid!
You've gotten yourself ensnared in her spell already!
Eida?!
How did you get out of your capsule?!
Do you really want to point that dangerous thing at me?
Don't tell anyone about me, okay?
Y-Yes, Lady Eida!
Ah...
My heart's pounding harder and harder.
Is this what's known as love?
How would I know?
That makes sense...
I doubt you would know this feeling.
I know it all too well!
We need to escape while we still can...
We need to escape immediately!
That said, she sees everything, even this conversation!
Those eyes...
It felt as if she was peering into my heart.
The power to see everything in the world...
That must be the power of clairvoyance...
You've got it all wrong.
The reason why you couldn't attack her earlier is—
Clairvoyance sure is amazing...
It's not such a good thing.
Eida!
Say you had access
to all the surveillance cameras in the world...
Could you watch them all day?
What does it look like to you?
It feels just like my consciousness has jumped there.
I can also see things from the past,
but I can't see any events that happened before I was born.
What about the future?
That's impossible.
I can only see current events in real time
or pick scenes from the past to watch.
For example, right now.
Let's see what Kawaki and his friends are up to.
You can actually do that?
Oh my, he seems to be having an argument.
If we could beat him by doing this,
we wouldn't be struggling!
This is important training!
This is all so we can defeat Code!
Both of you, cut it out already!
You've been making so much noise!
We're not getting any training done!
What's the point in just sitting there?
Chakra control is important training!
It's one of the basics!
I'm saying it's inefficient.
Even if we had all the time in the world to do this,
it wouldn't be enough.
Then let me ask you this, Kawaki...
What do you suggest?
Something much simpler that...
I think you'd all like too.
Hey!
What was that for?!
Not bad, Mitsuki.
I see...
Training through actual combat.
Quit deciding things on your own!
Did you forget that I'm the captain?
Stop whining and come at me!
Enemies don't just wait around, y'know!
I've had it with this!
Don't say I didn't warn you!
Hey, Sarada!
That was an easily blockable attack!
What?
A Shadow Clone!
You bastard!
What are you thinking?
Don't get so upset.
No one's gonna die.
You're the one who's getting upset!
Why are you getting so impatient?!
Huh? Who are you calling impatient?
You don't know for sure that training
isn't enough to beat Code.
It isn't like you to get impatient over something like this!
You don't get it at all, do you?
Then explain it to me so I can understand!
It's no use talking to him, Boruto!
Since it's come down to this, we have to shut him up by force.
Don't butt in.
I'll take him on myself.
You too now?
Whoever loses has to stick to the winner's way.
Is that it?
Yeah.
If I lose, I'll train the way you want to.
That cool with you?
Sounds interesting.
I'm in.
Back when we first met you,
we'd always fight whenever we saw each other.
Generally, you were the reason for that.
You can use your Karma if you want.
I don't even have to use it. This will be easy.
Hey...
Hey there!
What is it?
I was just at the good part.
What they're doing is fine and all,
but could you not forget that I'm here?
Are you jealous?
That's cute of you.
No, I'm not.
There's something I want to ask you.
How to release the power limiters implanted in your body.
Isn't that what you want to know?
You really are all-knowing.
That's right.
In order to kill the Hokage and the Uchiha.
Only Amado can lift them.
You need a verified scan of his iris
and a voiceprint command word...
I don't know the code word, though.
Eye and voice verification, huh?
I'll have you know that his eyes have been modified
with Scientific Ninja Tools.
Using a transformation jutsu or copying them is impossible.
In other words...
You either need Amado to cooperate or...
Gouge out his eyeballs and take them with you.
Damn it.
So, charging into The Leaf alone just for this
would be shortsighted.
He hunkered down in a shinobi village
because he expected this would happen, didn't he?
It's wonderful how smart he is.
I'm still going to kill him the next time we meet.
Do you hate Amado?
That's right.
Do you know why?
Because he modified your body?
Half right.
But still wrong.
Now then, that's all you wanted from me, right?
Could you leave already?
No, but...
I...
Bug, show him out.
Don't make me laugh!
How many years would we have to spend doing this
to defeat Code?
Five years?
Ten years?!
If you stop them, Boruto will lose.
I don't think Boruto would want that.
I was honed by Jigen,
ever since I was a little brat.
Most of his lessons were grueling combat drills.
Every waking hour was hell.
I honestly wished I were dead, but that wasn't possible either.
Eventually, I started thinking...
...that I really wanted the strength to kill this bastard
whose face I couldn't stand looking at.
And that's when I started rapidly improving.
So, even though Jigen was a total bastard,
it turned out his methods were rational and made sense.
If you don't want to rely on your Karma,
you'll lose to Code.
Rather than seeing that,
I'm going to ensure you can't fight right here and now!
That's good.
Could you just leave already?
I...
want to know more about you.
I figured you would say that.
But I refuse.
You can't solve my problems.
Don't assume that I can't.
I'll do anything to solve your problems.
No, it's impossible for you...
because you're not an Otsutsuki.
What do you mean?
Speaking of Otsutsuki...
Jigen's final moments were pretty pathetic.
It made me laugh.
I'm sad I can't show it to you.
I won't allow you... to insult Jigen in front of me.
Stop that, Code.
You shouldn't hit things.
It's strange.
I should have ripped you to shreds by now for insulting Jigen.
Do you know why that is?
I have no idea.
Code...
You...
like me, right?
Just answer.
Code...
Do you... like me?
Yes...
I like you, Eida.
Since the moment I laid eyes on you.
That is... my other power.
These emotions welling up inside, which seem so authentic...
Are you saying they're phony and manufactured by your ability?
Does it really matter?
It does matter.
I want to know whether my feelings for you are real or not.
It's not limited to you.
Everyone becomes captivated by me.
Both men and women, doesn't matter who they are.
Do you get it?
How absolutely boring and tedious it is?
Whether your feelings are real or not...
You're not the one who most wants to know.
It's me.
Even people who might have naturally come to like me...
I'll never know their true feelings.
Amado robbed me of ordinary love.
That's why I hate him.
S-See you later, Code.
Good luck to the two of you.
What about you, Bug?
It doesn't seem like you're captivated by Eida.
I-I'm the same as you!
I've been captivated by her for a long time now!
Bug is just shy.
And he's a chicken.
I think he's scared.
It's endearing.
I see...
I think I finally understand the reason why Boro disobeyed Jigen
and didn't dispose of you.
He was your captive too.
That's right.
Just like Bug, he was also rather afraid...
of my ability.
Hold on a second.
That means it should've been the same with Jigen.
So, how was he able to order your disposal?
Jigen is an exception.
I couldn't steal his heart.
What?
There are two types of hearts my ability can't steal.
One is blood relatives.
And the other is...
Otsutsuki.
Hey, Code.
Kawaki was on the verge of becoming an Otsutsuki, wasn't he?
I'm starting to get it.
Someone with whom you could experience a normal romance with.
Yes.
That person is Kawaki.
Boruto is on the offense!
Where are you looking?!
Lightning Style!
Thunderclap Arrow!
Damn it!
What am I doing here on my hands and knees?
Totally pathetic.
How am I supposed to protect Lord Seventh,
if I'm in such a sorry state?
There's one thing that's definitely changed since we first met.
I can tell...
what you're thinking now.
There's a reason why you're so impatient, isn't there?
Can you tell me?
I see...
The reason why I've been avoiding using my Karma
isn't because I might no longer be myself.
It's because I'm afraid of harming someone important to me,
like what happened back then with Mr. Sasuke.
But you're absolutely right.
I can't defeat Code if I'm picky about my powers.
That's become clear during our sparring session just now.
Boruto...
I'll use any power I can use, no matter what it is,
to defeat him.
No matter how much I try to deny it,
my Karma is a part of me.
I wouldn't have realized this if I wrestled with it by myself.
Hey, Kawaki...
don't carry it all by yourself.
Lean on us more.
We're your friends.
You know,
big lines like that would sound better coming from...
someone a bit more reliable.
Listen,
if we happen to lose, the next thing to happen would be...
Never mind.
Don't be like that! Come on.
However, I'll just say this.
If Momoshiki ever takes control of you from here on...
I'll stop you...
with these hands.
Kawaki...
Go for it, all of you!
Get a lot, lot stronger!
Let's agree... no hard feelings.
Oh no! Was it because of that attack from earlier?
This is terrible! It's such an important thing!
Huh? It's not really a problem.
It feels like it's a big problem.
This is bad...
I'm the one who broke it, too!
I feel like I'm going to get punished for this, ya know!
Back to Isshiki...
He died after falling for Kawaki's ploy.
When I saw that...
my heart fluttered.
It was thrilling.
I hadn't felt that way in a long time.
I see, so that's how it is.
Your ability may not work on Kawaki.
He's someone that you can have a normal romance with,
which is what you desire.
In short, he could be your shining prince.
You're starting to get it, Code.
In that case, the same holds true for Boruto Uzumaki.
He's also undergoing Karmic Otsutsukification.
He's plenty eligible to be your prince too.
Boruto, huh?
He's cute and dreamy too...
but you need him as fodder for the Ten Tails
to cultivate the Divine Tree, don't you?
Are you sure?
You'll be down one precious prince.
No worries.
Despite what you may think, I'm monogamous.
This feels like a transaction between traffickers...
They're both vile!
They're both crazy!
Besides, we'll need to split our catch.
We're going to be working together, after all.
Does that mean you're teaming up with me?
That's great...
This is the best!
I was right to trust you.
In salute to each other's goals, shall we have a toast?
Once again, nice to meet you, Eida.
Likewise, Code.
I'm counting on you.
Damn it! Stick together!
Stick together!
By the power of miracles, stick together!
That's right...
Hey, someone! Glue!
Do you have some glue?
I could stick it back together if I had some, ya know!
Oh, come on! There's no way that would stick it back together!
If I'm not mistaken, they had some in a nearby shop.
I'll go get some.
Like I said, if that were enough to make it stick,
we wouldn't be struggling here!
Are you two stupid or something?!
Are we stupid?
No, we're not!
Stick together! Stick together!
Give up already!
No, it'll stick together! I can stick it together!
This is not the time for me to be picky with my methods, either.
I swear I'm going to get a lot stronger!
That damn Code!
Whiny and resentful as always, even in my dreams.
Even though I'm not a Vessel anymore.
Your assessment is wrong.
You're still Otsutsuki Isshiki's Vessel
and that will never change.
What are you saying?
Isshiki may have been extinguished,
but it doesn't change the fact that you are his Vessel.
