When it blocks Boruto 's attack, it begins draining his chakra. Konohamaru breaks the creature's arm with his Rasengan , grabs Boruto, and retreats. The creature drains the chakra of a nearby deer, and begins regenerating its arm. Konohamaru recalls Yūga's words, and compares the creature to the Shinigami and Sōma . They evaluate what they know about the creature. Boruto considers attacking the creature again, as Konohamaru's Rasengan damaged it before, but Mugino wants to destroy the barrier, reminding them their mission is to retrieve Hashirama 's cells. Mugino accuses Konohamaru of spoiling his genin . Konohamaru understands Mugino, but assures him the genin are dependable. Mitsuki is warned by his snake that the creature is coming their way, having absorbed chakra from the wildlife inside the barrier. They move close to the barrier, Konohamaru and Mugino attempt to break it , while the genin guard them. Despite accepting his decision, Boruto is disappointed that Mugino trusts them so little.
