## Synopsis [ ]

Delta is called by Code , who is leisurely waiting alone. They trade barbs before about the vessel 's retrieval before Amado arrives. He reveals Victor 's treachery and death to them. Katasuke and Team 7 arrive at the research facility, which is headed by one of his juniors. They find Nue running around, but he is paralysed by Akita Inuzuka using the Shadow Imitation Technique through a Shinobi Gauntlet . Team 7 are surprised to see Nue and Sumire there. Sumire explains some of her efforts to learn how to coexist with Nue as part of the research team. Akita is excited to have Katasuke's latest prototype to test. Despite their enthusiasm and Katasuke's insistence that how they're used matters, Boruto remains unconvinced of scientific ninja tools' value.

As part of their mission, Team 7 helps to test other tools, some of which Boruto even has fun testing. Tending to an injury Boruto sustained testing one of the tools, Sumire explains she wants to develop a tool to keep Nue from getting out of control so she can support the village, and lets him know that she'll be relocating back to Konoha to act as Katasuke assistant. Boruto notices a plaque with Katasuke's creed of science being used to support others. Akita's ninken Chamaru befriends Boruto, who notices he has a prosthetic leg. Akita explains she became Katasuke's assistant after he helped her ninken. Katasuke shows Boruto a prototype chakra blade , but it tires him quickly due to high chakra expenditure. Boruto concedes the tools have a role in supporting the village. Boruto has a call from his father. At Kara 's headquarters, Amado does maintenance on Delta and Code, who continue to trade insults. They consider Boro might have stolen the vessel before he checks in. Naruto informs Boruto they've lost contact with Konohamaru and Mugino , and has his team check on them, as they're the closest. Naruto is concerned that despite being two capable jōnin, they haven't been able to get in contact, and wonders if Kara might be responsible. Sai and Shikamaru shares his concern. Amado shows Jigen the scans he made of the other Inners to identify the traitor among them. Code spies on them.
