Anna Karenina

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

It's no good. This won't cut it.

I need something much more powerful, or else—!

Boruto, I think that's your limit.

What?!

Judging from the amount of chakra you have,

to intensify it more, unless you move mountains

it's gonna be impossible.

You keep telling me it's impossible…

But you know that I can't give up!

Wind Style: Rasengan!

A Joint Mission with the Sand

We have a patient in critical condition.

We're transporting him to the specialized underground treatment room.

This is very suspicious.

That's the fifth one this week that's been

taken to the special treatment room.

And number of patients brought back…is zero.

You're not authorized to go beyond this point.

Please continue analyzing that earlier data.

– Yes! – Yes!

Hurry, don't lag!

That guy!

Do you know him?

I'm sure he was there

during the coup d'état attempt in the Land of Earth.

What's he doing here?

If this experiment is successful,

my standing will probably improve greatly.

Have you heard anything?

Doctor, we Outers must focus only on the orders we are given.

You're so boring!

Damn it!

We've searched every inch of this place except beyond this elevator.

The most likely place the Hashirama Cell would be

is in the underground area accessed by this elevator.

The question is how to get there.

Hey!

Shikadai.

Looks like you're training hard.

Well, yeah…kinda.

That being said, just don't overdo it.

If I don't, I won't be able to perfect this jutsu.

What does that mean?

Back then, my Rasengan got shut down, just like that.

That's why it's still not enough at the level it's at right now.

But…

Kakashi Sensei told me…

that I've reached my limit.

He said that unless I move mountains,

it's not gonna get any more powerful,

considering the amount of chakra that I have.

I see.

So, what are you going to do?

I just have to give it everything I've got.

So, you're just gonna keep at it, huh?

Yeah!

I wonder how Sarada's doing?

Are you okay?!

I'm okay, Dad.

One more time!

Sarada…

FIRE

A mission to recover a puppet?

Yeah.

It's a request from the Land of Wind.

They're been searching for it ever since the battle with Urashiki.

There's still one missing.

The one they haven't found is the puppet that you fought.

Please help them.

I'm counting on you.

Yes, sir.

Hey, so they were still out searching for puppets?

Yeah.

The Hidden Sand had been independently continuing the recovery…

But there's just one that they haven't been able to find.

If someone stole the one that's missing, that's bad news, right?

Yeah, they might use it for something bad.

Also, this matter with Urashiki is top secret,

so only the Sand and Leaf will be investigating.

A top-secret mission! This is so cool!

But basically, we're just looking for a broken doll.

We're rendezvousing with Sand shinobi tomorrow morning.

Which means today's just a travel day to the Land of Wind?

It's a recovery mission, but we don't know what that entails.

That's why we're going a day early.

This isn't a vacation, so don't get too excited.

Anyway, Boruto and Sarada are training really hard, huh?

Yeah.

I don't know all the details, but apparently

the guy they fought last time must've been awfully strong.

I mean, look at how determined Boruto is.

Sarada seemed intensely focused too.

Well, they probably have their own set of motives and feelings driving them.

More importantly, be honest…

How do you think Boruto's training is going?

It's not going that well.

Sarada looked like she was having a hard time too.

And there's nothing we can do.

That's for sure.

Hey c'mon!

We shouldn't be all gloomy before a mission.

I have just the solution to change up this mood.

What is it?

You see, there's a place that I've wanted to go to.

Since we rarely get the chance to go to the Land of Wind…

It's a shop we just have to visit! Right?

Remember me saying that this isn't a vacation,

so don't get too excited?

Were you even listening?

It's probably a sweets shop, right?

Let's just go along with it.

We'll go in, get a quick bite, and go.

If you say so, Shikadai.

Then it's decided!

Yeah, yeah.

This is it!

– Okay… – Okay…

Dad stumbled onto this place on his way home from a mission.

He said the portions are huge, and that it's super good!

KATSU EGG ON RICE TSUKIMI RICE BOWL HEARTY SAUCE-KATSU BOWL GREEN ONION SALT RICE BOWL

I've been wanting to try their Super Special Pork Stamina Bowl!

ONLY 10 ORDERS PER DAY NOT YOUR ORDINARY CALORIE BOMB! SUPER SPECIAL PORK STAMINA BOWL

I don't think this is the kinda place we can just get a quick bite and go.

If we eat something like that the day before a mission,

we'll probably be so slow tomorrow.

I don't think we'll be able to digest it completely.

You think it was that guy earlier?

WIND

Damn it, what are they doing?!

I know!

You're late!
