Anna Karenina

A Fierce Enemy: Garaga's Ferocious Attack!

We're gonna get crushed!

Do you still hate humans, Garaga?

You're being used by humans!

Damn it!

Cho-Cho!

This isn't good!

You're not going anywhere!

Please run away, Lady Sarada!

Aoda!

There's no way I'm gonna run away and leave things unfinished!

Wind Style! Gale Palm!

You brat!

How dare you do that to Cho-Cho!

You're not gonna get away with this!

Huh?!

I'll turn you into solid stone too!

Shut up!

I'm definitely gonna take your Reverse Scale!

Take my Reverse Scale?

Fine by me!

I'll send you to hell!

I'm not letting you get away!

Hold on!

You planning on going in alone?

Hey, Aoda.

Why did Garaga retreat so suddenly?

That hole is where his feeding grounds are.

He didn't retreat.

He moved to a place where he has the home advantage.

So that's it.

And we're already in a tough spot!

Who cares?

If we don't get his Reverse Scale, Mitsuki can't…

We won't let you push yourself anymore,

this is all our fault.

Aoda, please wait here.

Lady Sarada, then please listen.

Garaga's Reverse Scale is the one part of him that you must avoid.

Long ago, a giant snake of Ryuchi Cave

turned into stone just by touching it.

It's probably the one we saw on the way here…

On top of which, Garaga despises humans.

To steal it from him is…

Meaning, he won't allow any opportunities for us to get to it…

That's why, we can't waste time here.

We can't just leave Mitsuki and Cho-Cho.

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT

Have a good evening!

Let me know if anything comes up.

Roger!

Yurito, to think all this time, it was you…

I thought if there was a traitor,

that they'd go after the injured gatekeeper.

Seems I was right.

Under Shikamaru's orders,

we were told to keep watch over important areas

in the Hokage Building.

But, why?

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT

Damn it.

Boruto and the others are in deep trouble,

and here we are, on patrol duty?

C'mon Iwabe, I said before, security is important too.

Hey!

What's going on, Yurito?

Udon, perfect timing!

The injured gatekeeper was just attacked in his hospital room.

You have to rush over the Hokage Building!

What cowardice! Attacking an injured man!

I'm going to notify the other teams.

Just a minute.

It may be hard to believe, but I have a pretty keen nose.

Udon Sensei?

You're supposed to be in charge of security

for the medical department right now, Yurito.

If someone attacked the medical department,

why did you leave?

Oh, as to that…

It's better for all of us if you don't cause such a commotion.

Are you involved in Mitsuki's disappearance too?!

We're in the center of the Hidden Leaf Village.

There's nowhere to escape.

Please, let's not do this, Udon.

Your precious subordinate's life is on the line.

You're not gonna get away with this!

Damn it, giving us a hard time…

Something's not right…

Release!

I knew it. It was a genjutsu.

Where am I?

Yurito, what happened?

Udon? Why are you—?

Not good! Everyone, get back!

Huh?

Just what is…

going on?

Boom!

Detonation complete!

I bet it made such a nice noise!

Good thing I laid a trap just in case, huh?

It's hard to believe your genjutsu was released!

It means they're not all fools over there.

In any case, my job here is done.

I'm going back first to make a report.

Damn it, so unfair!

We're running behind in our plan. Enough talking.

Yeah, yeah…

Let's go.

It's so dark, I can't see well.

He disappeared?!

It's just like Aoda said.

Garaga has the advantage here.

His body camouflages itself into the color of this cave.

That's why it looked like he disappeared…

This is becoming a real drag.

It's only a matter of time before he finds us here.

We'd better get moving!

It's no good. It's so dark, I can't see clearly.

We can't really move unless we know where he is, can we?

Inojin, jump off!

Huh?

What's going on?

It's as though Garaga can see our moves…

It means that even in the darkness of this cave,

he has ways to find his prey.

Damn it!

Boruto!

That was scary!

That was a close call!

I hope you're grateful!

Thank you!

Anyways, great job, Inojin!

You drew that Super Beast Scroll super-fast!

You're wrong! Even I can't draw anything that fast.

Hold on, Inojin. What do you mean?

Remember the one I jumped off of in a panic earlier?

That one was unharmed.

What's going on?

I might have found a way to bring Garaga down.

Here! Gotcha!

Huh? What the—?!

I figured as much.

Garaga reacts to the movement of heat sources.

Movement of heat sources?

What does that mean?

I've heard of something like that too.

To be able to hunt in the dark, snakes can sense heat.

Yeah.

Garaga immediately knew where we ran off to…

yet he didn't react to the Super Beast Scroll.

I get it.

The Super Beast Scroll is a drawing,

so it doesn't release heat.

And if we, in turn, take advantage of that…

This is his feeding ground.

Won't make a dent if we do this just once or twice…

But if we keep it up over and over again…

You brats!

Rasengan!

Huh?

Now!

Did we get him?

You bastards!
