04x202 - The Cult

[bunniefuu]

Found it.

The Cult

Here are the results from analyzing the data

brought back from the crashed airship.

Sorry about this.

We have no choice but to rely on someone

who can use Transportation Ninjutsu.

Kara's headquarters are at these coordinates?

Unfortunately, we have no confirmation on that.

It might be a trap to lure us out.

You think so too?

Even so...

...we should probably look into this as much as we can for now.

Also, we've confirmed the name of the person

playing a leading role in Kara.

His name is Jigen.

Jigen...

I've seen this shape somewhere before.

Kinshiki Otsutsuki?!

I guess it really was a trap.

You should be dead, what are you doing here?!

What is this?

Welcome back, Lord Boro.

We weren't able to see you, so we've been growing anxious.

Shall we take that for you as well?

This?

There's no need for that.

Hm?

Your followers are waiting for you to speak to them.

Perhaps I should give them more pleasant dreams.

Boro! Boro! Boro! Boro! Boro! Boro!

Lord Boro! Lord Boro!

I dreamt a dream!

I dreamt that all souls were saved!

I dreamt a dream!

A dream where there was no distinction between

the rich and the poor and all lives were saved!

This world is a sewer!

It's a dump teeming with maggots.

And you!

You're unable to get any relief as you suffer in this hell!

However, the guys who have all the power

have no intention of saving you!

How can we allow this injustice to continue?!

But there is a way to salvation!

It's the ray of light, known as the Otsutsuki!

Today, we're joined by some new friends!

Are you scared?

Don't worry.

Everyone here is a friend.

Those who are afflicted by incurable illnesses,

those who have lost beloved family members...

Like you, they have suffered misfortune

and are sick of living.

However, we know of a way to eliminate all suffering!

A way to be released from all pain, a way to paradise!

Excuse me...

We...

...don't have any money to pay you.

Who needs money?!

Throw away such worthless things!

You don't need any money to get a ticket to paradise.

All you have to do is give your body over

to the Cradle of Souls!

Is that true?

Is there a way?

Do you want to know?

That way is...

the Infinite Tsukuyomi!

Infinite Tsukuyomi?

Considering your age, I don't blame you for not knowing.

Long ago, a god descended upon this world!

Her name was Kaguya!

She was a member of a great clan known as the Otsutsuki!

The people were enveloped by the Cradle of Souls

that Kaguya created.

By becoming one with the Divine Tree,

they obtained eternal peace.

However, everything was ruined when "they" appeared...

...the shinobi of the Five Great Nations!

They m*rder*d Kaguya and robbed the people of peace!

But that's not all!

They m*rder*d two other gods

known as Momoshiki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki!

Then those shinobi distorted history to make it seem like

the Infinite Tsukuyomi was a calamity!

They justified their actions...

...but it's all a sham!

It's a lie they created to benefit themselves!

But rest at ease.

The gods—the Otsutsuki have not forsaken us.

As proof, one more Otsutsuki still exists!

Is that true?

It sure is.

I've met this god myself, after all.

This time, it's Momoshiki...

It's only an image, it's not physically him.

When you stand within the platform, it att*cks you.

What is this place?

Those shapes...

Does it represent the shape of their horns?

Which means...

I knew it, this one's Kaguya Otsutsuki.

What is this?

I have no idea what this place was used for,

but they're the Otsutsuki who came to our land.

What does this all mean?

Each pattern is carved in pairs.

I don't want to think about it,

but if just like Momoshiki and Kinshiki,

Kaguya also came as a pair with someone...

Who is that?!

Inori.

Yes, Lord Boro?

If you have any questions, ask Inori.

She comes from circumstances similar to your own.

How long have you been with us?

It's been almost two years.

Inori was also in the depths of despair because of her illness,

but the Infinite Tsukuyomi has brought light into her life once more.

It's all thanks to Lord Boro's teachings.

Are you all right?

There's no need to worry.

I'm sure you'll be able to escape this foul reality.

Yes, Lord Boro.

Don't be fooled!

Hm?

I've come to save you, Inori!

Big Brother?

What's the big idea?

Inori, you are being deceived.

Everything he says is a lie!

The Infinite Tsukuyomi is a terrifying jutsu!

Leave!

I found a good doctor!

This time, I'm sure you'll recover from your illness.

A doctor will help her, you say?

It seems you're quite the charlatan yourself!

Shut up, you fraud!

Don't make a fuss.

Look, you're scaring them.

There's no need to be afraid. I'll settle this quickly.

You plan to deceive more innocent children

with your fairytales about meeting a god?!

I have met a god and was given an indestructible body.

Big Brother, please just leave!

Lord Boro is a great person!

He's just filling your head with lies!

I'll prove it to you.

He's got spirit.

I like it.

I'll give you a chance. A chance to believe my words.

Shut up!

Water Style: Surface Slice!

That'll teach you!

Inori, come back home with me!

Mom and everyone's worried about you!

You all should get out of here as well.

Big Brother, you don't understand.

Open your eyes, Inori!

No way!

I definitely felt that hit him!

Didn't I tell you that I met a god

and was given an indestructible body?

Lord Boro!

That can't be!

I'd like you to procure them some clothes.

I'll show your big brother out.

Very well.

Big Brother... I'm sorry.

Inori!

Give it up.

This is for your own good...

You should become one with the Divine Tree

and have some sweet dreams.

There's no way I'd believe a word you say!

How unfortunate.

How awful.

Such a needless loss of a young life.

This almost got shredded thanks to him.

Now then, how are you gonna explain that this was left on the airship...

...Koji Kashin?

I wonder what Kawaki had to do?

Hm?

He said there was something he wanted to do back at home.

Remember?

Oh, that.

He's probably secretly repairing the vase.

He's rude, but he's surprisingly earnest.

He's changed a lot since coming to the village, hasn't he?

He finally told us the name of the leader of Kara...

It probably means he's finally grown accustomed to this place.

If we're going to fight that Jigen,

then we need all the fighting power we can get.

And he can use this better than I can, too.

Be careful, Boruto.

Hm?

The fact is, we barely know anything about that thing.

This means there are other Otsutsuki

that we don't know about?

Damn it!

What is it this time?

A Tailed Beast?!

That Tailed Beast even has a Rinnegan!

Seems its movements are being sealed by those rods.

I can't tell how many tails it has from this distance.

Who did this?

Someone's coming!

A Karma...

So, he's Jigen!

Hello, Ten Tails...

Have you been behaving?

That's a Ten Tails?

Hold on...

It's still too early to devour me.

The Vessel must be completed first.

I'm sorry, but I need to take a little more again.

Is he absorbing the Ten Tails' chakra?

His Karma pattern is spreading.

He's got similar powers to Boruto and the other kid.

Unbelievable.

He now looks like the Otsutsuki I saw earlier!

This is bad...

This might be a far worse situation than I feared.

I have to let Naruto know as soon as possible!

Now then...

Perhaps I'll go pay a visit to the two Vessels.

Hey, Boruto, I have a question.

Hm?

About that Karma... What will you do if it's permanent?

Why did you say that out of the blue?

Don't say stuff like that, you'll jinx me!

Even if you defeat Jigen,

there's no guarantee that will resolve things.

We're not even sure if we can defeat him.

Well, it's super scary, but...

...dwelling on it won't get us anywhere.

Anyway...

Think of it as a super high-rank mission.

Wouldn't it fire you up instead?

A mission?

Yeah.

Even if the objective's a bit crazy,

if it's a mission,

you'll put all you've got into it no matter what, right?

I get it.

After all, I'm Mr. Sasuke's student,

the Hokage's son...

and a shinobi!

The Karma's pattern's spread!

You didn't cause it to do that?

I can't deliberately bring it out yet.

It just activates on its own in battle,

or when I'm around Kawaki.

No way... could something have happened to Kawaki?

But Lord Seventh is with him, so he should be okay...

Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:

SURPRISE ATTACK!

"Surprise Attack!"

I've got a bad feeling about this.
