Anna Karenina

That's crazy!

Mitsuki has a will!

And since you keep insisting,

I don't believe all this talk about Fabrications having no will!

There's no way I can cooperate in a plan like that.

I've explained what I wish to do.

If still you aren't convinced…

If you oppose this heartfelt vow of mine…

Then it can't be helped.

We'll just go back to being enemies.

It looks like someone has come for us, just in time!

He's a Fabrication too!

Lord Ohnoki, our plan is at a standstill.

Please return immediately.

Can I take this one into custody?

Yes…

We can't afford to let the Hidden Leaf get wind of this.

Earth Style: Mud Wall!

Kakou!

Make sure you do no harm!

Okay!

Irritating pests!

Still, I wasn't expecting you to attack first.

Is that what they call the basic fighting instinct in humans?

Damn it!

I can't lose here!

The Sensation of Living

If you have nothing to do, go look for Boruto and Shikadai.

Chubs.

Why you—!

If they haven't returned after all this time…

What do we do?

Maybe those two escaped into the city.

That's—!

Mr. Akatsuchi?!

Oh no, is he dead?!

I'm okay… I'm not dead.

Are you all okay?

Actually, Boruto and Shikadai aren't back…

That's not good.

Damn it! What a pain!

Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!

He knows Particle Style too?!

Tsk…

You're a nimble one.

Damn it!

I can't approach him carelessly.

Oh? Could your heart be pounding right now?

Let me get a taste of that feeling!

What are you talking about?

Give me a taste of it!

The old man's not here!

C'mon, what do you say?

No way!

Cho-Cho! We're heading over there!

Roger!

Inojin, take Mr. Akatsuchi to the cave!

Got it! Be careful, you two!

Are they fighting?

Did I get him?

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

This is fun!

Fighting is really fun, after all.

It feels kinda tight and itchy around here…

Is that how it feels when your heart's pounding?

Quit saying stuff that makes no sense!

All right!

Tsk!

What?!

A clone?!

Is it over already?

Cha, damn it!

Sarada?!

Thank goodness you're okay, Boruto…

We were worried, you know!

Cho-Cho!

Reinforcements, huh?

That's more like it.

‘Cuz it woulda been so boring,

if it ended this soon!

He must be hiding somewhere.

Tie him up as soon as you find him!

All right!

That's right! Naruto was summoned by the elders.

Hello, this is the Office of the Hokage…

Is that you, Dad?!

Shikadai, that you?!

Where are you now?

Dad, don't say anything, just listen.

What?!

Come with me!

Yeah, the village has been taken over!

I understand the situation.

Now listen, just lay low.

If you get captured again,

there's no guarantee you'll stay alive.

Dad, but I…

I've analyzed the situation,

and we don't have a moment to waste.

I… I've got to do what I can!

Wait, Shikadai!

"The knight that jumps far, falls prey to a pawn," huh?

Dad, I'm sorry for acting so selfishly.

But I came here of my own will.

I'm in enemy territory, but…

I have no intention of making a move where I'll fall prey to a pawn.

Hey, Shikadai!

Hey!

Shikadai, what happened?!

Are you okay? Hey, Shikadai!

Hey, Shikadai!

Shikadai!

Very nice!

I'm really starting to have fun!

Damn you!

Cha, damn it!
