04x173 - The Secret Behind the Underground Room

[bunniefuu]

My Lord, I bid you a warm welcome.

We are all truly honored by your visit.

No need to be so formal.

Do you have an entry pass?

Yes, it's been submitted.

Okay, it's been confirmed.

Please, go on ahead.

Konohamaru Sensei must be in the middle of his mission

right below us about now, huh?

Yeah.

Are you worried?

It's none of our business.

I'm surprised.

You've matured and gotten a bit more perceptive.

I'm not rushing in or butting in blindly anymore.

Because of that… I let Mitsuki get injured.

Yeah.

I just regret that we didn't get to keep the promise

we made to Mrs. Mia to bring Mr. Anato back home.

I've been waiting for you.

Mrs. Mia…

The Secret Behind the Underground Room

I wonder how Boruto and the others are doing right now?

I have good news, Mitsuki.

The organs under cultivation are doing well.

At this rate, it'll be possible to transplant them

in about a month.

One more month?

That means I can't move until then, right?

If this tube is removed, you could die at any moment.

That's the condition you're in,

and yet, you're more concerned about your friends?

Sorry for all the trouble I'm causing.

You acted according to your own will.

That's something to be very proud of.

But using Sage Transformation to the point

where your body can't recover is another thing.

I know.

I thought you'd want to know what's going on

with Boruto and the others,

so, I sent someone to check in on them.

I'm back!

Speak of the devil!

Did something happen?

Mitsuki has been waiting impatiently.

Man! I went through a lot of trouble to check!

That's not important.

And?

Seems Boruto and Sarada are headed to the Land of Valleys.

Land of Valleys?!

Why?!

Who knows?

I don't know the reason,

but it looks like Konohamaru is also in the Land of Valleys.

Everyone is in the Land of Valleys?

Doesn't seem like sheer coincidence, does it?

There's no need for unnecessary speculation.

Huh? Why?

Don't tell me you're mad at me?!

Hardly.

I'm in the midst of an important experiment.

You can help me…

…by being my test subject!

Why, Lord Orochimaru?!

Silence!

Why?!

I have to go too!

What do you think you're doing, Mitsuki?

I'm a member of Team too.

I have to join Boruto and everyone!

You heard what he said.

Don't you value your life?

If you try to stop me, I'll fight back and… I'll…

Just rest…

Mitsuki.

{\frz\pos(,)}RECEPTION

Our company is most grateful that

you have come to observe our facilities.

The Hidden Leaf Village claims that the Hashirama Cell

was stolen and what not.

They keep insisting on being allowed in to inspect your company.

That's correct.

The highhandedness of the Great Nations is very troubling.

Not to worry.

I told them sternly that I will not stand

for any interference into our internal affairs.

You always come to our aid and I am most grateful.

It's quite all right.

Technology that can save the world is being developed right here,

in our Land of Valleys!

It's a point of pride, Victor!

Situations like this are the only times I can come visit your company.

I've been wanting to see what kind of research

is being conducted here.

And I personally, am eager to show you the fruits of our research.

I'm looking forward to it!

Ahead lies the heart of my company's research and development.

Only authorized personnel are allowed entry.

Please escort the Feudal Lord.

Yes, sir.

I'll go on ahead to the Central Laboratory and prepare.

This way please, my lord.

What's this room for?

We're about to enter the Central Laboratory,

a contaminant-free cleanroom.

This is where all dust and particles brought in

from outside are removed.

Your thoroughness is quite impressive.

Next, we will proceed into sterilization.

Oh!

How interesting!

Please rest assured.

This is a special light that kills any microorganisms on our clothing.

This is the only elevator that leads

to the pride of our company, the Central Laboratory.

Please enter.

The president has already gone down ahead of us.

My ears are ringing.

I apologize for the discomfort.

I quite dislike mechanical things.

Don't you?

Someone from the company brought this to you?

Yes.

I was told that Anato was att*cked by people who were after his research…

…and died.

Victor told you this?

I haven't been able to meet directly with the president.

This scrap of cloth was dropped off to me,

and I never received a detailed explanation.

But you two saw Anato, didn't you?

How was he?

Well…

We came here to return this.

This is Anato's!

Mrs. Mia.

Please don't be shocked and just listen to what I'm going to tell you.

Victor's company is doing research on something terrible.

And Mr. Anato was a member of that research team.

Boruto!

Mrs. Mia has a right to know the circumstances!

I see.

Is that how it was?

I had a feeling it was something like that.

He always went quiet when the conversation turned to his research.

It's a lie that he was att*cked by people

who were after his research.

Victor is just trying to hide the truth for his own gain!

Allow me to show you around.

This is the heart of my company's research!

What is this?!

Oh!

It's quite an honor to have you visit us.

This is quite a facility.

We carefully analyzed the Hashirama Cell that

we obtained the other day,

and it's now being put to good use to treat incurable illnesses.

And what is that?

That is the cornerstone of our research!

We are verging on the cusp of its completion.

Once we get a successful result,

not only will we be able to treat incurable diseases,

but aging itself might become a thing of the past!

Bravo!

And so, please continue to watch over us until we can perfect it.

Understood!

I will shield you from the annoying officials from the Hidden Leaf.

So, just focus on your research freely!

Release!

W-What is that?!

My lord, you were placed under a genjutsu.

What?!

When did you switch places?!

Right before the Feudal Lord arrived.

If we hadn't realized the location where you cast the genjutsu,

things would've gone badly.

– Release! – Release!

You finally showed your true colors, Victor!

Why you damned Leaf dogs!

Well, since you've seen all of this–!

President Victor!

Stop his bleeding.

And don't try anything stupid.

What's… going on?

Explain it to me in a way I can understand!

We are shinobi from the Hidden Leaf.

Victor put you under a genjutsu and has been using you.

And the people in those things?

They're probably victims who were implanted with the Hashirama Cell.

It will probably become clearer when we investigate deeper.

Victor has been conducting unethical human experiments

here in this very lab!

Is that true, Victor?!

It was necessary to investigate this covertly,

so we were forced to infiltrate in an inappropriate manner.

And for that, we sincerely apologize.

But I assure you, your bodyguards are safe.

Is this really happening?

I've been such a fool!

I was blinded by the rosy picture that Victor painted…

and I was completely deceived by him!

The Hidden Leaf's only objective

is the retrieval of the Hashirama Cell.

If we can get it back,

we can resolve this amicably and confidentially.

I have no need of such a thing.

I don't care. Just take it and go.

Are you done treating him?

It's gone!

His arm?!

You fools!

One must never reveal one's secret w*apon

until the very last moment!

Why you–!

Damn it!

Wind Style:

Great Wind Spiral!

In just a little while, my goal will be accomplished!

Hey, wait!

They're…

…tough!

The plan has been hastened due to unnecessary interference.

But no matter.

It's finally time.

Stop!

What?!

Just what is going on?!

Fire Style: Dragon Flame b*mb!

This is…

…not good!

What's going on?!

What's this?

Oh, it's already budding!

Let's observe closer!

Yes.

President Victor, this isn't the agreement!

Please let me in too!

Not here!

President Victor!

Please help me, President Victor!

Seems there's not enough nourishment for it to keep growing.

I've gathered more nourishment in one location.

Perfect.

{\frz\pos(.,.)}MAIN CONFERENCE ROOM

How long are we supposed to wait in here?

We have no choice but to wait.

Seems it's the president's orders.

Is it an earthquake?

Feels like it.

Hey! Something doesn't feel right!

The floor's cracking!

Konohamaru!

P-Please, get me out of here!

What happened to your arm?

I got a little careless.

Be careful.

If that thing catches you, it'll absorb your chakra.

This kind of thing suits me much better

than sneaking around and investigating!

Mugino, you take the rear!

I'm going to go see the president.

It's not going to be that easy, ya know!

Please wait!

Let me go!

I have to see the president.

I have to see Victor in person and find out!

He's very dangerous!

But Anato might still be alive, right?

I'm positive that Big Bro Konohamaru and Mr. Mugino

will find evidence!

So, please! Just trust them and wait, Mrs. Mia!

What that sound?

It's coming from Victor's company!

The elevators!

Something's wrong, Boruto.

Yeah.

What's happening at the company?

What do we do, Boruto?

Something terrible might be happening.

Let's go. I'm worried about Big Bro and Mugino.

Yeah.

Mrs. Mia, please go somewhere safe!

Boruto!

We're picking up where we left off on our unfinished mission!

I'm getting nothing but a bad feeling about all of this.

There's no guarantee that luck will be on our side, Sarada!

That's why we went through all of that brutal training, right?!

Yeah, that's right!

It's finally begun!

As we expected, Victor was using the Hashirama Cell

to conduct inhumane experiments!

How can you involve innocent people in all of this?!

To hell with your "experiments"!

What are you trying to do, cultivating something like this?!

This is probably something similar to the Divine Tree.

If we let this go on, we don't know what will happen!

Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:

"The Revival of the Divine Tree"

THE REVIVAL OF THE DIVINE TREE

Boruto, Sarada! We're gonna end this here!
