Anna Karenina

I found our target!

There's no mistake. That's the lost pet.

Let's hurry and catch it, so we can return it to its owner.

Right!

It got away, huh?

Oh man, it's because Doushu scared him.

I'm not the only one at fault!

That rabbit was definitely afraid, huh?

Enko, what's the matter?

It's nothing!

Really? Are you sure?

Well, anyway…

It doesn't seem like we have worry

about Enko's powers going out of control this time.

I knew it, so even you guys are…

These hands…

Right now?!

Is she going out of control?!

Don't worry about me, just get away!

There's no way we'd leave you!

Yeah, that's right!

The Terror! Enko Onikuma

It's dangerous, let's get some distance between us!

Okay!

This is bad. We need to stop her.

All right. Let's do this.

Now! Get her!

Got it!

Damn it!

We can't stop her this time either! We need to use that thing!

Right!

If we keep having to use the tranquilizer every time on our missions,

Enko's body won't be able to handle it.

But it's the only way.

If I recall, you're possessed by a Possession-Type Summoning, right?

It's a kind of Secret Jutsu of the Onikuma Clan, right?

But it didn't go out of control while we were in the Academy.

Your ability actually helped us out quite a bit on our missions.

But for some reason, as of lately, I can't control it.

Your rampaging even got our jonin leader sent to the hospital.

That's why I heard our new leader was getting assigned to us today.

You're Tsuru Itoi, Doushu Goetsu, and Enko Onikuma from Team 40, correct?

– Y-Yes! – Y-Yes!

I'm Ibiki Morino, Captain of the Torture and Interrogation Corps.

I'm here to replace your injured leader.

Are you the Mr. Ibiki?

The torture and interrogation pro.

I've heard that he's the Leaf's number one sadist.

An interrogation pro? He just looks intimidating, right?

You must be Lord Seventh's son.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, yeah!

Now then…

Tell me about some mischief that you've pulled recently.

What?!

I haven't done anything like that!

Ouch!

– What do you think you're doing? – This is just…

a tenth of my strength.

It will be interesting to see how much more you can handle.

I-I snuck some snacks and made sure my mom wouldn't find out!

You gave that up in a second.

So uncool.

But why are you here?

What's wrong? Are you scared of me?

Well, no…

That's not it!

I know this is sudden,

but I'm disbanding Team 40, effective immediately.

I'll be teaming up with Enko going forward.

W-What do you mean?!

You guys are too afraid to stop Enko, right?

Well, that's…

Seems Enko's skills will be useful during interrogations.

It won't be a problem as long as we have a tranquilizer on hand.

But that's not good for Enko!

We'll try to get over our fears somehow, for her sake!

I've tortured many people over the years.

I haven't found anyone who's been able to get over their fears.

– Huh? – Huh?

Once you get to my level, you don't even feel fear.

Enko, I'd be able to make you useful.

Come with me.

Y-Yes. If I can be of help.

Wait, Enko?!

You're kidding, right?

It's settled.

The two of you will be notified later of your new teams.

That's it. Let's go.

You don't think she agreed because she didn't want to be with us?

Of course not!

In any case, they'll wear her out at this rate.

That's true, but what can we do?

We just need to overcome our fear.

But Mr. Ibiki said that no one can overcome their fears.

He probably just lied to us because he wanted Enko's ability!

I don't know…

Are you two all right?

You guys!

After seeing what happened, we couldn't leave you alone.

Boruto…

If there's anything that we can do, let us know!

– Well, then…! – Well, then…!

If you want to overcome your fears, then you need to study psychology!

I see!

Good thinking, Sarada!

I just hope there are some useful tips in here.

Let's see.

"If curiosity surpasses fear,

it is possible to change fear into pleasure."

"Generally speaking,

haunted houses and watching horror movies are examples of this…"

So, what does that mean?

In other words, you need start thinking that fear is fun, maybe?

All right then Let's watch something tomorrow!

Tsuru, Doushu, let the training begin!

MOVIE THEATER

NIGHT CIRCUS

That was really scary, huh?

Actually…

It didn't bother me at all.

You were the only one who was way too scared.

How's this for the next one?

"One way to conquer fear, is to become used to the feeling,

so your body learns that it is safe."

So that means…

To get used to Enko when she's out of control?

If only it was that easy.

But, maybe we can test it with something similar?

I see.

Something similar, huh?

FIRE PARK

There's a violent beast inside here.

A beast? Like what kind?

You're not saying, we have to get used to this?!

We have permission.

Well, don't you think this is a suitable replacement for Enko?

We might be killed before we can get used to it.

It does seem dangerous. Shall we stop?
