Blockade the A-Un Gate!

== Synopsis ==
Namida learns to play Extreme: Shinobi Picture Scrolls with Inojin. Tsubaki Kurogane asks Boruto about his arm. Teams 7, 10, and 15 catch up with one another. Denki walks by them, lost in thought, and doesn't hear when they call him. At the Hokage's office, Konohamaru and Mugino report to the higher ups, including the Fifth and Sixth Hokage. They explain they fought Victor and Deepa, who wished to cultivate a new God Tree and eat its chakra fruit. At Naruto's request, Sai further investigated Victor's facility, and uncovered research on symbols that match the ones they learned about from Shojoji, deducing that Victor and Deepa were members of Kara. Sai's investigation also indicates they were aware of Naruto's role in defeating Momoshiki, which is classified information. Naruto sent messengers to warn other Kage. Victor's employees were unable to shed light into Victor's personal research, where the word "vessel" was consistently mentioned. They are surprised to learn that the doctor responsible for the Fabrications was involved in Victor's project. Kurotsuchi mentions they didn't find his body at the time, and wonders if her grandfather was also involved. Hanabi finds it more likely the doctor used him to acquire experimental data. Konoha leadership is concerned that such a wide-reaching organisation had been unknown so far. When Konohamaru recalls Victor's subordinates who were aware of his plan called themselves Outers, Sai recalls his mission with Sasuke in Amegakure, and consider that Kara has remained hidden by using outsider collaborators scattered across the nations. They consider the possibility of spies in the village. They weight the protection of the villagers against their freedom of movement. Denki has Team 7 help him take a balloon to the Hokage Rock, where they meet Metal Lee and Iwabee and help set it up. Naruto takes a day to decide whether to blockade the village gates. He learns that nowadays, identity checking isn't as thorough as it used to be due to the high amount of people coming and going. Kōtarō supports restricting movement in and out of the village, citing the Byakuya Gang and the Mujina Bandits as examples. Iwabee and Metal Lee go up in Denki's balloon, drawing Naruto's attention. Denki explains it's an experiment to improve the range of wireless transmissions. Metal loses the instructions Denki gave him, but Iwabee soldiers on. Denki manages to speak with his friend in another village, close to the border. Denki's friends celebrate his success, even if the balloon isn't able to maintain altitude to keep communications working for long. The following day, Naruto decides not to blockade the gates, and instead decides to overhaul the sensing system on the village. Victor reports to Jigen, placing blame of the incident on Deepa, and assuring him that none of their secrets were exposed, as he recovered Deepa's body. Jigen considers the God Tree plan foolish. Victor decides to claim Jigen's vessel.
