Anna Karenina

To prevent Soma from victimizing any more people,

let's make sure the wedding ritual proceeds successfully.

Yes.

Miss Remon!

Konohamaru's Ninja Way

And finally, we'll proceed with the ritual to cut the stone's horns,

and seal Soma once again.

This is Lady Kuen's sword which has been used

to cut the horns for many generations.

Now, please cut the horns.

Lord Kankitsu?!

What have you done?!

By doing that,

we'll no longer be able to seal Soma ever again!

What are you doing?!

It can't be!

Miss Remon!

M-Mr. Konohamaru?!

Damn it!

Kankitsu, why you—!

I have fulfilled my duty.

What is going on?

Seriously?

Soma will be resurrected!

No, it can't be!

Hey, are you all right?

Mr. Konohamaru!

Damn it!

Wind Style: Gale Palm!

I guess ninjutsu doesn't work either!

What?!

Did he just eat their memories?!

Damn it! Boruto!

Get everyone out of here!

I'll stop it!

Big Bro!

Hurry!

Got it!

Hurry!

Get outside!

You too, Miss Remon, hurry!

Come on!

W-What?

I won't let you!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Sealing Jutsu: Triangle Seal!

Amazing!

Did you do it?

I thought Gramps' Sealing Jutsu would work,

but it seems like it will only seal its movements temporarily.

No way!

Miss Remon, are you hurt?

I'm all right.

Mr. Konohamaru, what should I do?!

First, let's get out of here.

We'll regroup and figure out a strategy to beat this thing.

Where am I?

Lord Kankitsu!

What have I…done?!

Why would I even try to revive Soma?

From the looks of it,

you were being controlled by Soma.

It's no wonder you seemed like a totally different person.

But when did Soma do that to you?

I think it was when…

I went over to the Yoimura household

to set the date of the wedding ritual.

I heard someone calling out to me.

Before I realized it, I was in front of the Soma Rock.

I touched the stone and I—!

Honestly! What have I done?!

Before you start wallowing in guilt,

let's figure out how to bring Soma down!

Because physical attacks and ninjutsu aren't working!

About that, there's one thing that concerns me.

Earlier, when Soma approached me,

he made movements like he was scared.

Scared?

Yes. What is he afraid of?

Once we know, we can figure out how to beat him.

Soma fears one thing.

The hair clip that Lady Kuen used long ago…

That's about it.

Why do you have that, Mr. Konohamaru?!

Kankitsu was gonna break it, so I took it back!

If we have this, we may be able to do something about Soma!

We'll seal Soma inside my body!

Please wait!

If you do that, Miss Remon, you'll—!

What does he mean?

Back when Lady Kuen was attempting to subjugate Soma…

Her body was possessed by Soma.

Using the power of the jutsu woven into the hair clip,

she sealed Soma inside her body so that it couldn't get out.

After cutting off Soma's horns that materialize,

we can bring Soma down.

All of that power in that hair clip?

Only a member of the Yoimura Clan is able to use

the hair clip to seal Soma inside their body.

But…

Is there a risk to this?

Lady Kuen was successful in sealing Soma inside her body.

However…

As a result, it consumed every memory she had.

As a result, it consumed every memory she had.

After Soma is inside, all that's left is to cut off its horns…

But Soma put up a fight inside Lady Kuen's body…

…and devoured her memories.

With her memories lost,

she even began to forget who she was.

Despite that, Lady Kuen managed to cut the horn.

But only one of them.

Along with her clan,

they were able to seal Soma inside the rock.

But Lady Kuen never regained her memories thereafter.
