Anna Karenina

– Thank you for everything! – Thank you!

Be well, everyone!

PLEASE VISIT AGAIN!

W-Wait!

Wait, I'm getting on!

You're late, Cho-Cho!

Why do you have so much stuff?

All of the souvenirs looked so delicious,

and I couldn't make a decision.

That's weird…

So Kagura didn't show up?

He was a central person in the rebellion.

Maybe he was too ashamed to come?

Were you planning on giving him a good, hard punch if he showed up?

Why would I do that?

Thanks to him, we had a great field trip, didn't we?

Are you serious?

Thanks to him, we almost got killed!

I was so sure he'd come to see us off…

Boruto…

The Quest for Souvenirs

The Quest for Souvenirs It's almost time, huh?

Yes…

it's just about time.

Right? Right?

I'm home!

He's home!

Welcome home, Big Brother!

How was your field trip?

Hi, Hima!

We had all kinds of fun times!

Welcome home, Boruto.

Mom!

Here ya go.

Big Brother, is this…?

It's laundry.

I'm super tired, Mom.

I'm gonna sleep until dinner time.

And then, this guy Kagura got hooked on Shinobi Bout

and it was ridiculous!

You make friends wherever you go, don't you?

You think? It's a regular thing for me…

Thank you for the food.

What's the matter, Hima?

Did hearing everything make you

want to go on a field trip of your own?

What's up with her?

Anyway, there's more!

This guy Kagura is so good with swords,

that he's the successor to one of the Ninja Blades of the Hidden Mist…

He's that good…

I hope he's doing okay.

Are you talking about Kagura again?

– It's fine if he's okay… – I pass.

'Kay, I pass.

Even if he was intimidated into doing it,

he was involved with the Seven Swordsmen.

I don't think he'll get off with just a warning.

You think Kagura's been arrested too?

Is that why he didn't come to see us off?

Like I'd know.

Boruto, Sarada… Iwabe!

Come to the principal's office later.

– Huh? – What's it for?

Me too?

You'll find out when you come.

You think they found out about everything

with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?

Just the three of us were called. So that must be it.

But we made it in the nick of time to roll call that day.

I'm sure the teachers didn't suspect anything.

So, what do we do?

Cuz, I don't want to be lumped in as an accomplice with you guys.

It will be okay.

Just leave it to me.

And then…

It started to storm all of a sudden!

I thought it was over for me…

I thought I going to die, there in the Village Hidden in the Mist!

It was at that moment…

that Miss Sarada and Mr. Iwabe, right here, appeared.

Man, I thought I was dreaming! Really.

So, you got lost, and these two saved you. Is that it?

It was a miracle that we made it in time for roll call.

In other words,

you're saying that you didn't cause any incidents…

That in fact,

you didn't have a run-in with shinobi from the Mist?

Um…

Yes, that's about right.

I am a student of the proud Hidden Leaf!

Why would I dare cause any problems?!

Then, can you explain…

this petition from Lord Mizukage?

PETITION this petition from Lord Mizukage?

Huh?

"The actions taken by Boruto Uzumaki,

Sarada Uchiha and Iwabe Yuino were justified,

and benefited both the Lands of Fire and Water.

Hence, it is my strong hope that they are not punished in any way…"

…is what it says.

Why did Old Man Chojuro have to be so honest?!

Don't slack off!

Shut up!

Move your hands, not your mouth, Boruto!

If you start slacking, you'll have to start all over again.

You should've just come clean and apologized from the start!

It's all because you made up some weird story!

How would I have known that he wrote a letter!

No excuses!

Get to work, guys, or the sun will set!

SHINOBI

It turns out the one who made it seem

like Chojuro was killing off officials who opposed the peace treaty…

was actually that hoodlum named Shizuma.

I see…

That's why from the very beginning,

I said we couldn't use guys like that…

I thought it would make it easier to move around,

if there was trouble in the Land of Water.

What a disappointment.

And? What happened to them?

They're in a correctional center undergoing rehabilitation.

Still, even if they were rebels,

officials from his own Land of Water were killed.

To put a lid on the incident,

silence them, and pretend as if nothing happened.

That Chojuro is a pretty bad guy.

Do you think he's being silent in order to protect himself?

What other reason is there?

If it becomes known that a coup d'état was attempted,

it will reset everything back to the dark ages again.

Secrecy was his only option. That's probably why.

Well, Shizuma just didn't count on Boruto being around.

He's just like his father,

he loves to poke his head into everything.

Still… It's curious how that boy got a hold

of incriminating evidence against Shizuma.

Uh… I-I know… Isn't that strange?

It's unstable.

It won't cut if you doubt yourself.

I was weak-willed and caused trouble for Boruto.

I can't forgive myself.

If you face him honestly, he will forgive you.

That's the kind of boy he is.

I know that.

To be honest and upfront can be a very difficult thing to do.

I'm home!

Juice, juice…

What is it, Hima?

Is there something you want to tell me?

It's nothing.

Mom, Himawari's been acting weird towards me

ever since I came back from my trip.

Did something happen?

I thought it would be better if you realized it on your own…

Don't you remember?

You promised to bring back a souvenir for Himawari.

I'll bring back lots of souvenirs!

That's a promise, okay?

I totally…forgot!

Himawari's been waiting for you to say something.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?!

It's already been a while!

If you forgot to get something, you have to apologize quickly.

She might kill me with her Byakugan, again.

That's true!

I'm going out for a bit.

Hey, Hima…

Um… About the souvenir I promised…

You see…

I-I got this super-delicious snack!

You've heard of the famous Hidden Mist's Water Cinnamon Sweets, right?

I have!

Anyway, it got mixed up somehow in my friend's luggage.

I'm gonna go and get it now.

So…hold on, ya know?!

How did she take it?

The way she was looking at me, I couldn't bring myself to tell her.

Don't you think honesty is the best policy?

Yeah…

Shall I ask Dad for you?

Maybe he can figure something out?

Not that! Absolutely not!

I swear I'll find one!

Not a word of this to Dad, okay?!

It's tough trying to be a good big brother.

Did that idiot do something again?

The Water Cinnamon Sweets?

I ate ‘em ages ago.

How many days do you think it's been?

Is that right?

Okay, sorry I bothered you!

Sorry, I ate them.

I still have the dumplings though.

No, it can't be anything else.

It's okay, don't worry about it.
