You have no chance of winning!
Surrender!
The battle in the northern seas has begun.
We would like you to lead the company that's gathered outside
into battle right away, Lord Kagura.
I'll do that immediately after I get our friends from the Leaf
safely back to the Hidden Mist.
There's no time to be so laid-back!
Leave them to me.
Lord Kagura, please depart first thing in the morning.
Well, if those are my orders...
Oh, my!
What does a Funato ship want with this island?
I sense a storm brewing!
Seiren
According to Kagura,
the war between the Hidden Mist and the Funato
has finally started.
What should we do?
Kagura helped us out so much.
We can't just say "bye" and leave, can we?
We were told to be on the lookout for a terrorist attack,
but a war is an entirely different matter.
It all depends on what our village decides, huh?
Being a captain seems like a real drag.
We should get back to the lodge.
Judging by the weather, it looks like it'll rain.
I'll do that as well.
Boruto?
I'm going to stay out
and get a little more of this night air, ya know.
Okay, be careful.
Okay.
Guess this means we'll be leaving this island soon...
Maybe I'll go and see Ikada.
Look, the fog's out!
Dark fog... that's unusual.
Dark fog, huh?
I think this is the first time Ikada's ever left early.
He said he had a headache, but he was definitely lying.
I'll come for you tonight.
You just don't understand...
how I feel, Big Sis!
We've arrived at the spot.
Funamushi, I leave Kagura to you.
We're taking him back alive.
He'll make a good bargaining chip.
Yeah.
Also, about that particular Leaf brat...
Boruto Uzumaki.
We have intel that says he's the son of the Hokage.
It doesn't matter who he is.
I'll personally dispose of him.
Understood.
LEECH
The fog's awfully thick...
What is this?
What's going on?!
Hey, what's happening?
Damn it!
Hebiichigo's taking a long time.
Kyoho, let's go look for her.
Hey, Buntan...
On your neck...
What is it?
There's a leech...
...on it...
You have to tell me these things quicker!
Oh!
What's going on?
I can't control my body!
Kawaki, what's the matter?
Look! On his neck!
There's something on it!
Did you want something from me?
Dark fog's kinda unusual.
Guess I made the right choice being cautious.
So, who are you?
Damn it!
W-What's this?!
A clone!
Your aim's pretty good despite your distance away from me!
You're not getting away!
I'm surprised you had something like that with you.
I don't really like bugs too much.
What kind of a bug is it?
It seems this bug controls... the person it sucks blood from!
Wow, you seem to know a lot about it, Metal—
What?!
Isn't that the Boss's dock?!
Damn it, they're all over the place!
Leave this to me and get going!
We're counting on you, Metal!
Iwabe!
Yeah!
What happened?!
Lord Kagura!
Who the hell are you?!
Funamushi.
I'm a member of the Funato who will punish the Hidden Mist!
How unfortunate for you!
But if this results in your death...
it will be quite wonderful for me.
You bastards! Who are you?!
Are you debt collectors or what?!
What are you doing on my dock?!
You bastards, what do you think you're doing?!
Earth Style: Mud Wall!
Is everyone all right?
Yeah, somehow!
Iwabe!
Do you know how hard we worked to fix that boat?
You guys are gonna get it!
Can't do anything without a sword?
You're a fool who has forgotten about the heart of the sea!
The heart of the sea?!
How arrogant!
Only the strong survive...
That's the law of the sea!
Water Style: Imminent Danger!
Do you think that justifies your piracy?!
It's simply like a hungry shark going after its prey!
We are born at sea, raised with the sea
and we die at sea!
That's the proper way of life for people of the sea!
Your back is vulnerable!
I lost sight of him!
What are you doing?
Get your filthy hands off of me!
Miss Hebiichigo, please get down!
What's going on?
Miss Hebiichigo, are you all right?
That brat Boruto's probably in the afterlife right about now.
None of Lady Seiren's targets have ever survived!
Water Style: Imminent Danger!
Boruto!
Hey! Why are you targeting us?
People who grew up in the city are so naïve.
Always thinking you'll get answers to your questions...
However, you're going to die, Boruto Uzumaki...
without ever knowing why you were targeted!
I didn't feel it hit anything.
Did I miss?!
All right!
Damn it!
Boruto?
She even knows my name!
Damn it! It's numb and I can't move it!
In the presence of my jutsu,
it's useless no matter where you try to hide.
She can see me, huh?
This time, I'll use full power!
Hiramekarei?!
Are you all right, Boruto?
Kagura?!
Thanks for saving me!
Can you get up?
Yeah...
Give me your arm.
This way!
Damn that Kagura!
How dare he interfere!
Let me see your arm.
The flow of chakra seems to be disrupted.
Don't worry, you will recover with time.
Thanks.
That was Seiren.
Most likely Araumi's daughter.
It's like she could always see what I was doing.
Her secret lies in that sound.
Sound?
She senses the environment and her prey by using echoes.
It's the same technique that dolphins and bats use.
Seriously?
She can do that?
She's a typical long-range fighter type.
But you and I are close-range types.
As long as we're fighting within her range of attack,
we have little chance of winning.
We need to get closer somehow...
But as soon as we step out of the shadows,
she's going to snipe us, right?
We can use the Hiramekarei
as a shield to protect us from her arrows as we get closer.
Then—!
What's this?
Having a secret discussion in your little hiding place?
You see, my arrows are special.
Kagura?!
Kagura!
Stay back!
She missed a vital spot
so she can pick off allies who come to the rescue.
That's a trick sniper-types use.
You've got good instincts.
However...
How long are you going to hide?
I got your shoulder, so where do you want me to hit next?
Your chest?
How about a headshot?
It seems you've been taught to abandon your friends...
Boruto Uzumaki!
You bastard!
Don't do it!
She's trying to provoke you.
I know that!
Still...
I can't just leave you there!
I can't say that I disapprove of your actions.
How brazen of you.
No matter where you hide, it's useless!
Thunder, huh?
Seems you get to live for now.
All right!
Thank you.
I can move a little now.
That aside, it seems a troublesome enemy has set her sights on me.
Honestly, you're so reckless.
What? I figured I could outsmart her if I played my cards right.
I wasn't being reckless at all, ya know.
The thunder, huh?
She senses using sound.
I figured she couldn't do that during all this thunder.
Within the duration of the thunder...
Yeah.
If things drag out, we'll continue to be at a disadvantage.
We need to find a way to end this while there's still thunder.
The problem is, how do we get close to Seiren?
Boruto...
I'll act as a decoy.
While she's distracted, I want you to locate her
and take her down.
Kagura!
That damned Kagura!
Where did he run to?
Can you hear me, Seiren?!
There he is!
We shall capture you and bring you to justice!
And of course, we'll do the same to Araumi!
We'll make you atone for your sins—
For being barbarians who plunder the seas!
Now come out, Seiren!
You dare to provoke me?!
How brazen!
Boruto!
Okay!
There she is!
D-Damn it!
It's over...
Boruto Uzumaki!
Do it, Kagura!
Lady Seiren!
Her gang's still close by!
Boruto, be careful!
Water Style: Water Wall!
Boruto, Kagura!
Everyone!
Has anyone been injured?
We're all right.
We went through such a horrible experience!
We're safe because of you Metal!
Good grief...
We made it somehow.
Hey, Hebiichigo.
Where were you, and what were you doing?
Where?
Well, umm...
You didn't—! Did you?!
Buntan, Hebiichigo, Kyoho...
Sorry to bother you at such a terrible time,
but I'd like to find some leads on our enemy.
Could you help us out?
Me as well?
Well, I don't mind.
Come on, everyone, let's get to work!
Okay! Understood!
All right! Yes, Ma'am!
You found a lead?
This was found where we fought last night.
Do you think it's some kind of code?
Big Sis!
She's not in danger of dying,
but she hasn't regained consciousness.
This happened even though I was there with her!
Who did this to her?
Tell me!
It was Kagura of the Hidden Mist
and another one!
Still...
Why was Seiren
treating me like an enemy?
Looks like we can finally get home to the Leaf!
Feels like it's been a while!
But where did Boruto go?
He's not helping us prepare for departure!
He went to Boss Kajiki's dock to go get the ship
that's finished getting repaired.
Since this means we'll be saying goodbye to Ikada.
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
"Where I Belong"
WHERE I BELONG
Ikada's gone?!
No way... You don't think the Funato got him, do you?
