04x189 - Resonance

[bunniefuu]

Don't tell me, The Vessel is—?!

Yeah.

Situation aside, it seems the Kara's target,

"The Vessel," is this young man.

If you want to get in my way,

I don't mind taking all of you on,

but you're first.

I haven't forgotten that you took my chin.

Oh, don't worry.

I'm not gonna k*ll you.

But...

I'm just gonna hurt you so bad, that you'll wish you were dead!

He's fast!

I knew it. You're pretty weak right now.

Don't make me laugh.

Just think of it like getting a head start,

because you're gonna need all the help you can get.

Resonance

So?

What are you going to do about the Leaf Shinobi?

You're here now. We'll figure something out.

Let's just be "spectators" for now, right?

Yeah, yeah. Fine.

You bastard!

Out of breath already?!

Aren't you going to come at me?

Oh, come on! I hope you're not done!

Let me hit you more!

You're such a pain!

Damn it.

Got ya'!

Oh...

There's no way that coulda k*lled you, right?

You finally quieted down.

If you'd just obeyed me from the beginning,

I wouldn't have had to hurt you.

Wait! Boruto!

What are you trying to do?!

The situation's gotten way too complicated!

We can't make any careless moves right now!

What are you saying?! He's about to get taken away!

Listen to me, Boruto!

At this point, the mission level has increased to an S-Rank!

It's much too dangerous!

So, please...

Sensei...

My top priority right now is to protect all of you!

Quit trying to interrupt me.

So, what should I do now?

That Garo, I told him to be gentle!

Damn it!

Honestly, we should have replaced his brain too!

Relax.

What's key is still to come.

Let's see.

I can't have you wake up and start flailing...

I'll just break a few limbs!

Boruto?!

Again!

Just like earlier!

You still want to come at me?

Hey...

I don't think you should be distracted right now.

You bastard!

W-Where did you get that much power?

It ain't mine.

That's why I hate it.

S-Stay away!

Stay away!

Huh?!

He absorbed it?!

Just like how Boruto did!

They never knew about any of this!

Damn it! Damn it! What's going on?!

Are you done?

He ran through his body with one hit!

That's crazy!

I warned you, didn't I?

I said you'd lose much more than your chin this time.

W-Wait.

Please!

I'm sorry for what I did! Stop!

Your breath stinks, pig.

Everyone, get away from here!

We don't have enough time!

Looks like it was true about him having reached Phase Three.

That Kawaki,

obliterating those bothersome Leaf Shinobi as well!

He's impressive.

Look closely, Delta.

Seems he's just as impressive...

Boruto protected us by absorbing his attack?!

You bastard...

For someone who says he knows nothing about Karma,

you sure have a pretty good command of it.

I have no clue!

I don't understand anything that's going on!

Quit playing dumb.

Go back and tell them, if they continue coming after me,

the bodies are just gonna keep piling up.

There's no mistake...

The two Karmas were definitely resonating with each other...

Is this the reason why Jigen is so obsessed with Kawaki?

Looks like I'm gonna need more intel.

Hey! You're really getting on my nerves, ya know!

Can't you just listen to me?!

Do you ever stop talking?

Damn it.

If I... didn't have... this thing...

H-Hey!

I believe he just... overheated!

What?

Isn't that like—?

Given how he just fought, I wonder if his body is—?

Hold on, Old Man Katasuke!

Boruto, are you all right?

Come to think of it, it's gone...

So...

Good grief. I guess we have no choice.

I can go and eliminate those Leaf kids, right, Koji?

No, Delta. Don't interfere.

What?

What are you thinking, Koji Kashin?!

You intend on letting them take The Vessel?!

That's right.

I completely understand the goal of the mission.

I will bring back The Vessel at some point, but not now.

I'll do that after I gather more intel.

Look, I know I'm the one who brought Garo in,

but that idiot said way too much.

I think we should get rid of the Leaf shinobi, at the very least.

There's no point in worrying about an intel leak at this point.

We were past that point after the airship crashed.

Besides, regardless of what they know or don't know,

they'll have no choice but to yield to a greater power in the end.

Soon, whether it wants to or not, the world shall learn

the name and fearsomeness of Kara.

Well, fine.

Jigen warned me that this might happen.

I'll follow your lead.

I knew it.

His body isn't normal.

Well, of course!

After watching that battle earlier, even I could have told you that.

Old Man Ao and that big guy were covered in Scientific Ninja Tools.

No. What I mean to say is that his body

might be far more advanced than theirs.

What?

Forgive me...

What are you doing?

Just watch.

I'm going to do a little scientific experiment.

If there is a change in his blood that courses through his body...

Oh?!

Doesn't that seem dangerous?

Are you all right?

Yes!

That aside!

Look at this!

What did you find out?

I suppose you could say his entire body

is a Scientific Ninja Tool.

What did you just say?!

I suspected just as much.

His blood vessels, his nervous system...

everything has been modified using technology similar,

if not even more advanced than Lord Seventh's artificial hand!

I can't believe a scientist with this much skill exists!

You can't compare this boy to Lord Ao or that big man!

His body... is a work of art!

Ah, it's exciting to know there's another genius like me out there!

Hey, that's not something to be excited about!

What are we going to do with him?

Can you fix him?

No, it's impossible.

– I thought you were a "genius!" – I thought you were a "genius!"

This fellow "genius"...

I wonder if they built him from scratch,

like me?

The technology used on him is different from yours.

You were organically created through genetic engineering.

But he was remodeled using inorganic techniques

into something other than human.

I suppose that's the proper answer.

Those guys from The Kara called him The Vessel.

Then there's the crashed airship.

The cargo that Ao was looking for was definitely The Vessel.

He was referring to this boy.

He must be highly valuable to them.

And yet, he's a mountain of vital intel to us.

Well, we can't just leave him here, either way.

Let's take him back to the village...

...to my Dad!

To have the Hokage himself go all the way to Ryutan City...

I've got no other choice do I?

Shikamaru's insisting on not letting him

into the village so suddenly.

Not without me meeting him first, anyway.

He could be an enemy.

We have to be very careful and confirm.

Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:

ESCAPE

"Escape."

I just hope nothing happens until I get there.
