## Synopsis [ ]

Funamushi stabs Kagura so they can feel how he felt when Seiren was injured. Team 7 and the swordsmen attack, Funamushi counterattacks with Water Release . Enraged, Boruto activates his Kāma and lands a Rasengan on Funamushi before joining the others in checking on Kagura. Gokai commands the Funato to retreat, Funamushi too injured to keep fighting despite wishing to avenge Seiren. Hebiichigo closes Kagura's wound, and Sarada and Iwabee try healing him. Mitsuki notes the difficulty of providing medical care in such an isolated village. Kagura asks them to protect the village, and hands Hebiichigo his petition for having the swordsmen released. He thanks Buntan for sticking with him, and asks Kyohō to protect them. He gives his final words to Boruto, and dies. Misuno and Chōjūrō confirm Kagura's intel that the Funato at sea are stalling for time.

Isari wants to keep stalling, but Tenma wishes to fight, admitting he's not smart like Isari, wishing Araumi to recognise him for his strength. He thinks back to being adopted by Araumi after his parents abandoned him, aiming to be strong like Araumi. They receive a message from Funamushi's group about Seiren being injured while trying to get Ikada . Tenma wants to fight, but Isari stresses they must reformulate the plan. Kagura is buried at the village's tree. At night, Boruto and Kawaki want to strike back, but Sarada says they must have a plan. Buntan argues that following Kagura's orders brought them far, so they need to pick a new leader, and they agree it should be Sarada. Boruto thinks back to his history with Kagura. Team 7 asks him about the Kāma activating earlier. He explains that while Amado 's drugs have halted its extraction, the process can't be undone, so he can draw on its power without Momoshiki taking over. Jibiki informs Isari that Tenma's boat is gone. He tries to infiltrate Kirigakure 's ships with his unit, but is discovered. He fights Chōjūrō with his weapon and Water Release , but Chōjūrō and the Kiri-nin overpower them until only Tenma remains. Chōjūrō kills him and he falls into the sea, wishing Araumi had praised him. Isari witnesses it. Kirigakure's fleet goes on the offensive and the Funato retreat. Isari swears vengeance on Chōjūrō.
