Anna Karenina

Did we make it?

Yeah.

When morning comes, the food supply ship should arrive.

We just have to bear with it a little longer.

This means we're getting out of Hozuki Castle, right?

I owe you guys, Boruto!

Don't worry about—!

Shall we test your luck one last time?

You're…Tsukiyo!

There's a full moon tonight.

And the moonlight is so nice.

The Fateful Moonlit Battle

The Fateful Moonlit Battle So, that's Tsukiyo!

Yeah, he's the Mujina Gang's #2 guy.

So, young lady…

It seems you weren't just a student reporter.

And finally, we meet…

Kokuri.

Your luck runs out when you desert the Mujina Gang.

All that's left for you is…death!

It's a shadow!

There's another clan besides the Nara that can control shadows?

That's my Moon Shadow Jutsu.

Under a full moon, my jutsu can manifest at its utmost power!

What?!

You surprised me a little.

Are you thinking of taking all four of us on by yourself?

No, we're evenly matched.

Let me show you the essence of the Moon Shadow!

Boruto?!

I didn't know there's a jutsu

that can bring out someone else's clone?!

Cha!

The same power?!

Okay, then–!

Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!

Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!

Even jutsu?!

No way!

I told you, didn't I?

The light of the full moon activates my Moon Shadow to its utmost power.

You guys sure are unlucky!

Boruto, then–!

I know. We'll go for him!

I already know what you're gonna do, little boy.

Kokuri!

Damn it!

I've got it!

Oh, so close!

I wonder how long you can protect him.

It's over.

Our earlier luck with escaping has run out.

What's going on?

What's happening at Hozuki Castle?!

In any case, don't let a single prisoner escape!

We'll mobilize and handle the threat!

Kokuri, get away!

What do we do?

At this rate, at some point–!

Wait!

The chakra for the jutsu that those shadows use…

Where's it coming from?

If they use Tsukiyo's chakra, it can't possibly be limitless!

If so…

Rasengan!

Boruto?!

What's going on?

My chakra depleted faster than usual?!

Maybe they're using our chakra!

A wise observation!

So, the more we fight, the more exhausted we get?!

Use all the jutsu you want.

Fight your own clones with all the strength you've got.

If you're lucky, I might take you down before you run out!

Are you okay?!

Boruto, he's too strong!

Yeah.

If only there was something that would work!

Here!

I secretly noted every crime the Mujina Gang committed,

and secrets about the Boss that I was aware of.

Hang on to it for me, just in case he kills me.

Don't be such a pessimist!

Don't give up after coming this far!

When I learned I was part of the Mujina Gang,

I got so scared, I ran away…

without taking responsibility for the crimes I took part in.

And that's probably all catching up to me.

If you have regrets, it's all the more reason to survive

and go back and testify about the gang's crimes.

But that's—!

Just run!

Don't give up until your very last breath!

I won't let you get Kokuri!

It's hard fighting yourself!

Not good!

What a pain.

I have to wrap this up quick.

Boruto!

Boruto?!

What was that just now?!

They're avoiding the searchlights!

What is this?

Maybe that jutsu is–!

I have to let Boruto know!

But–!

That should do it.

Your luck runs out now!

These guys…

Unlike us, they don't get exhausted!

If this continues, then Boruto and the others will…

Just to protect me…

That's right! I've only been a burden all this time!

Kokuri?!

So, you came out on your own to die! How very commendable.

Cha!

Why did you come back?!

Just listen carefully!

What are they planning?

Found them! Over there!

You're interrupting!

I see!

If that's true…

Yeah, leave it to me!

Thank you, Kokuri!

I don't know if it will work…

But I don't wanna do nothing and end up dying with regrets!

It's okay.

We've got luck on our side!

What a nice moon to die under.

Don't you think so?

Nope, not at all!

Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!

You kids just don't learn, do you?

A smokescreen?

What?!

This match is over.

Why don't you give up already?

Where did he go…?

Kokuri?

Heh!

Over here!

What are you doing?
