Anna Karenina

Where am I?

Boruto!

Sarada…

You're awake.

Why doesn't Dad attack?

Naruto could easily obliterate that projectile if he wanted to.

But it would take out the surrounding area too.

In order to protect everyone!

Dad!

Where's my dad?

Lord Seventh protected everyone and…

Mama!

Himawari?

Hang in there, Hinata!

It's me, Mama. Can you hear me?

Mom!

Big Brother!

Boruto, are you okay?

I'm totally fine…

But what happened to Mom?

Don't worry, she'll be okay.

What happened, Mom?!

She faced off against them.

Why would she do something crazy like that?!

Naruto collapsed and they were taking him away.

And Hinata tried to stop them…

And then what happened to my dad?

To protect everyone in the village, he took the brunt of the enemy's attack.

You remember what Naruto always said, don't you?

He believed that it was his duty to protect everyone in the village…

Sasuke's Secret Weapon

Sasuke's Secret Weapon Where is everyone?

Sasuke's Secret Weapon

Mitsuki's…

in critical condition.

In all that chaos,

it seems they stole his chakra.

Shizune and the others haven't left his side and are treating him.

Everyone else is fine.

Thanks to Lord Seventh…

I see…

Boruto…

Boruto!

Thank goodness, you're okay!

We were so worried!

I'm fine…

I believe that Lord Hokage is okay too.

Yeah…

What happened to everyone?

They ended up getting injured in that last explosion…

But their wounds aren't that serious.

It's all thanks to Lord Hokage, that this was the extent of the damage.

It's a miracle.

B-Boruto!

There aren't enough hospital rooms.

We need to…

Is it okay to leave him alone?

I wonder what's gonna happen?

What do you mean?

When Boruto beat you, I was amazed.

But who knew that he was using a forbidden Scientific Ninja Tool?

Ugh, heavy!

Anyway, they totally messed up our Chunin Exams.

They'll probably have to do it over, huh?

Who knows…

But if I get to fight that handsome guy again, I'd welcome it.

Is that all you can think about, Chubs?

That's pretty shallow.

You mean what happened to Lord Hokage?

I have faith that Lord Hokage wouldn't let guys like that beat him.

Right, Shikadai?

Yeah, you're right.

I'm amazed you endured this far.

With this, it's all over!

All right, let's do this, Kurama!

You'd better not be out of shape now!

Don't be foolish.

Let's hit them with all we've got!

Right!

Damn it!

Yeah, keep talking.

I'll show you the results of my training.

You just watch…

I'll show you in the second round, for sure.

And I'll make you acknowledge me, no matter what!

Don't lose to Shikadai.

Like I'd lose.

I'll be watching.

Dad! Did you see my big win?!

What's the meaning of this?

I wanted Dad to acknowledge me…

I just wanted him to treat me like I'd come into my own…

And yet…

And yet…

It turned out to be the exact opposite.

Are you done?

I couldn't do a single thing.

Damn it!

You're disqualified as a ninja.

He's right…ya know.

FIRST AID ROOM

Mama!

Thank goodness!

Naruto…

Where's Naruto?

Don't worry.

He's okay.

Just leave the rest to me.

FIRE

Dad!

Like he'd actually be here…

Grandpa's photo is up here…

Boruto!

Boruto!

Let me go, Mom!

I'm gonna beat that loser up!

Boruto!

Your father has to work very hard for the people of the village.

And what about us?! Aren't we part of the village too?!

So, when you're the Hokage, it's okay to ignore your own family?!

It doesn't mean he's forgotten about the two of you.

I've heard that so many times already, ya know!

I'm sick and tired of that excuse!

Boruto…

When Dad was a kid,

Grandpa Hokage wasn't even alive!

Which means he grew up not knowing

how fun it's supposed to be with your family, right?

No wonder he doesn't care!

Boruto!

Why did my dad have to be the Hokage?!

He just sits at his desk all day and acts bossy!

Anyone can do that!

I understand it's hard

not having your father around on important days.

But it's different with you.

You have a father who's actually here.

Damn it…

I'm so…

You remember what Naruto always said, don't you?

He believed that it was his duty to protect everyone in the village…

I…didn't realize until now.

This is so uncool!

I'm the one who's…uncool.

You got that right…

Mr. Sasuke!
