I'll go.
I can't stand by while Denki and the others are in danger.
Wait!
Only Mitsuki and I will head to the island.
How come?!
You've got an important job to do.
A job?
Keep watch.
It would be problematic if we came back to find the boat gone.
I got it.
There's a full moon tonight.
We'll try to be back before the moon rises directly above us.
Sarada! Mitsuki!
Something's coming!
What is that?
It's the Funato!
What's up with that ship?
It's probably a fortress.
A fortress?!
Doesn't seem like they're just ordinary pirates.
Until now, we've never had any intel
on the Funato having this much firepower.
That fortress was probably constructed
using technological data that they stole from the Hidden Mist.
Having something like that certainly complicates things.
Boruto, Kawaki and Buntan,
could you get near the fortress and gather information?
The rest of us will be standing by at the pickup point
to meet up with Sarada and the others.
With her?!
Cut and Run
It's there.
That's where the Funato's main unit has set up camp.
The locals of Dotou Island are being held in that mine.
I want to save them all.
I estimate there are about 20 of them.
In order to do that,
we'll need a ship big enough to carry everyone.
Anyway, we must make sure that we are not seen
by the Funato's main unit that is camped here.
Even if we obtained a ship or saved the hostages,
if that main unit were to attack us,
we would not be able to fight them off by ourselves.
We couldn't make a move before,
but then you guys showed up...
Is there any way we can save all the hostages?
First, we need a ship.
The Funato have a transport ship in the harbor past the town.
We checked the situation earlier using this.
There weren't that many guards on the ship, or at the harbor.
I think my team can deal with them.
Besides, I'm best suited to figuring out
how to pilot that ship.
Understood. How many are in the main unit?
There were about 20 of them.
I'd like to avoid fighting that many people.
Will you two be able to handle them?
Our main priority is the hostages.
As long as we stay out of sight, I think we'll be all right.
Covert actions are our specialty, after all.
You're right!
Then Denki, Iwabe and Metal will secure our escape ship.
Mitsuki and I will rescue the hostages.
We need to get away before the enemy notices.
Saving the hostages and escaping takes priority over combat.
Once we're ready, we'll start!
Okay!
Quit dawdling!
Don't drop them!
What the heck?
You're so incompetent, you're practically useless!
I'm very sorry!
I don't exactly trust you.
But let's work together for the sake of this mission.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to need you to follow my instructions.
Why are you acting like you're the captain?
I'm going to do things my way.
I don't trust your ways 'cuz they're dangerous!
Then do what you want!
I'm only helping out because Kagura asked me to.
Quit trying to butt heads with me all the time!
Quit it!
It doesn't matter if she's a criminal or not.
We need her to carry out this mission.
We can't get any closer at this rate!
What are you gonna do?
After telling me to follow your instructions,
are you just all talk?
Leave this to me.
Kawaki, throw me!
Got it!
Wind Style: Gale Palm!
Infiltration complete.
Let's go.
Iwabe, you said you wanted a flashy mission, correct?
But this is a little too flashy, don't you think?
We only came to deliver some puppets.
Suddenly having to deal with terrorists
makes this more like an S-rank mission.
I cannot tell if we are lucky or unlucky...
If this mission is successful, we're lucky.
Iwabe and Metal,
take care of the Funato soldiers who are standing guard.
Meanwhile, I'll take control of the helm.
Let's go!
We're celebrating early today!
We can finally return to an age of piracy!
– Yeah! – Yeah!
Boss!
We've discovered where
those escaped Leaf brats were hiding.
Did you catch them?
No, they were gone.
We're searching for them right now.
We could use those Leaf Shinobi
in our negotiations with the Land of Water.
Make sure to capture them alive!
Yes, sir!
Whoever captures them
will receive this gold nugget.
If you can't bring them in alive,
bring me their heads!
– Yeah! – Yeah!
Gold and Leaf Shinobi.
This will make a great gift for Lord Tenma.
If I can pull this off,
I can become a leader in the Tenma Unit.
Young guys like us
are all going to be made into Funato soldiers!
There's no way I'm becoming a pirate!
It's better than staying here, don't you think?
Don't you know anything?
If you become a Funato soldier, there's no hope of surviving.
It would be better to die right here.
It's especially true, considering the Tenma Unit.
How was that? That's how strong I am!
That's good.
Get him!
Try to slash me.
If a newbie like you can kill me,
you'll have all the success and fame you could hope for.
In this unit, those who have no power are trash.
– Lord Tenma! – Lord Tenma!
So, this is the customary death match to join this unit...
Well done, Lord Tenma.
I've gotten word that Lord Araumi
has been rescued from the Mist Village
and has arrived at Funato headquarters.
I knew Big Brother Isari could do it.
He's the pride of our clan.
Lord Tenma, destroying the Mist's base on the front lines
proved to be effective.
Your father Araumi is sure to be pleased!
If I didn't have to procure this gold,
I would have immediately gone to see him.
Haste makes waste!
If we obtain the military supplies to surpass the Hidden Cloud,
you'll become valued enough
to eventually become the successor to the Funato—!
You bastard!
Do you think I'm the sort of man
who would cast my father and brother aside
just to become the successor?
No, not at all!
But with your strength,
I just thought you're the best suited
to control the Funato...
I value my clan more than my life!
My loyalty to my father is absolute.
To revive our clan,
we need to settle things using this fortress.
That's Tenma, the second son of the Funato Clan.
Tenma...
After Araumi, he's the second-most violent and uncontrollable member
of their clan.
During the cleanup operation five years ago,
he apparently killed countless Mist Shinobi.
Sounds like a scary guy.
So, that's the Funato Clan.
Excuse me!
What is it this time?
This guy claims to know something about the Leaf.
The Leaf?
What do you mean?
If I give you this information, will you let me go?
Very well.
I can trust you then?
The truth is, aside from the ones who escaped,
there are members of the Leaf hidden amongst us...
What?
They're not from our island.
I see. That's quite some intel.
This means their allies will come to save them.
We'll capture them alive.
We'll do this ourselves,
so they don't figure out what we're up to.
You're coming with us too.
Yes, sir!
Did you hear?
If you capture a Leaf Shinobi, you'll get a gold nugget.
I wish we could have gone and done that
instead of being stuck on guard duty.
We could take down those Leaf Shinobi
just like that, right?
What's the matter?
Too bad for you.
It seems like everyone is gathered in the cavern further in.
Let's hurry.
We're Leaf Shinobi. We've come to save all of you!
Head immediately for the harbor.
There's an escape ship waiting for you!
I'm glad you're safe!
Where are Denki and the others?
They're preparing the ship right now.
Please go on ahead of us to the exit.
– Okay. – Okay.
Who's there?!
Please hurry!
What?!
You sure got us!
But it all ends here.
Help me!
Where are the rest of your friends?
If you surrender, we'll spare your lives.
If you don't, we'll kill you, starting with these guys.
Stop!
You don't need any hostages aside from us, right?
I'm glad you understand the true strength of the Funato.
We'll spare your lives.
Water Style: Water Binding!
Like we'd actually surrender.
Run away before the main unit notices!
– Okay! – Okay!
All right!
Damn it!
Those Leaf bastards!
We've been spotted!
Everyone, please hurry!
The Boss has summoned us!
Let's go, you guys!
– Yeah! – Yeah!
That's strange. It's not moving!
We are glad you are safe.
Sorry we took so long to save you!
It's okay, we had faith in you.
We're sailing out immediately!
Denki! Please hurry up and move the ship out.
I know!
But it won't move!
Is there trouble with the engine?!
Damn it! At a time like this?!
Water Style: Water Bridge!
We got you!
Wind Style: Breakthrough!
You're not getting away!
It's no good.
In that case!
They're getting aboard!
It's moving!
Snake Lightning!
We're safe!
That was close.
Iwabe, it seems we successfully handled this S-rank mission.
That means we're lucky, right?
Yes! We sure are!
Damn it.
If Lord Tenma gets word of this, we're really going to get it.
Where are they headed with all those soldiers?
That was rather extreme, ya know!
What's wrong with that?
Did you really have to go that far?
You're a real softy, aren't you?
This is a battlefield. It's kill or be killed.
We only came here to investigate.
Don't weigh us down.
Damn it!
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Hey.
You bastard! What did you do?!
Just watch.
It looks like he's in pain!
Hey, Kawaki! Are you all right?!
It stopped.
Huh?
It's an ancient way of curing motion sickness
in the Land of Water.
I don't want him doing something careless here.
If you had something like this, why didn't you do it sooner?
'Cuz I wasn't obligated to.
Let's go on ahead.
That Buntan...
I guess it's because she'll get her sentence reduced
if this mission is successful.
She's probably desperate in her own way.
I sure hope that's the case.
I understand what she was talking about.
Kill them before they kill you.
If you show the slightest sign of weakness, you're dead.
That's the kind of world she lived in.
Kawaki...
Let's go!
What's that?
That's a giant Scientific Ninja Tool...
A Scientific Ninja Tool?!
At this size,
you could target something pretty far away.
Yeah.
You wouldn't survive a hit from this.
Not good! This fortress is heading towards Dotou Island!
We have to do something
before we meet up with Kagura, Denki and the others!
It's speedy despite its size.
At this rate, it'll reach the rendezvous spot in no time.
How do we deal with something this big?
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
"The Mobile Fortress"
THE MOBILE FORTRESS
At this point, we're the only ones who can stop it!
