SCENE 1: POTTERY TIME (PG 2-3)
- We open the chapter at the Uzumaki residence.
- Kawaki is sitting at a table, gluing Himawari’s vase on a tray.
- Himawari is standing by, watching him from the other side of the table. She asks him if he’s really going to try and fix it.
- Kawaki retorts that it’s impossible even if he tried. It’s a waste of time and unreasonable to do.
- Himawari says that he’s already done more than enough for her by trying to buy her a new flower vase. She earnestly thanks him for that.
- Boruto overhears their conversation, hidden just on the other side of the wall/entryway.
- Just outside the window overhearing everything that just transpired…Is the staring toad.
- KK expected Kawaki to have been locked up by now. He’s rather surprised that Kawaki has become a freeloader at the Uzumaki residence instead. He decides that he can’t do anything too rash.
- KK decides we won’t try to meddle with them at all. He has high expectations for what’ll happen between Kawaki and Boruto though.
- Scene pans to outside the A-N gates
- Delta is clearly irritated at KK and crunches some tree bark with her bare hands.
- She’s in the mood to kill someone. She knows that KK intended to leave her behind.
- She lifts up the back of her cloak, and there’s a triangle (a delta symbol) etched on her back. She’s wearing a heart-shaped cut-out dress.
- A drone deploys from her back. It doesn’t seem to use any chakra, so the Yamanaka won’t be able to sense it. She asks it politely to find Kawaki. It crosses over the border wall with no problems.
- Scene pans back to the Uzumaki residence. Boruto comes through the doorway.
- Boruto says that Kawaki looks pitiful because he’s about to give up… Just because it seems hard to glue the vase back together.
- Kawaki repeats that what he’s doing is unreasonable and stupid.
- Boruto suddenly asks Kawaki if he wants to still research ‘Karma’. Boruto offers to help him out.
- Kawaki has only finished gluing the lower base of the vase. Seems like Boruto had a sudden change of heart?
- Boruto admits that Kawaki did bring up some fair points. Boruto also wants to learn how to use it better.
- Kawaki agrees to show him everything that he knows about it.
- So Naruto, Kawaki, Boruto, and Himawari head back to the training forest.
- Kawaki says that Boruto should be able to activate it if he gets backed into a corner. They’ll train in actual combat. Kawaki says that he’ll go easy on him.
- Boruto retorts that he’s being underestimated. It’s Kawaki who’ll have the worse experience.
- Boruto and Kawaki both activate their respective Karma seals.
- Himawari excitedly cheers them both on. Naruto wonders what’ll happen.
- They stick to taijutsu at first, but then Kawaki partially-transforms his right arm again and shoots out disks.
- Kawaki can block Boruto’s shuriken with the hardened skin.
- Himawari wonders what Kawaki is. Naruto tells her that Kawaki’s body is a scientific ninja tool.
- Kawaki acknowledges that Boruto’s speed and agility aren’t too shabby. So he’ll step up his game.
- Kawaki tells Boruto to absorb his next shot without dodging it.
- Boruto doesn’t think he can do it, but Kawaki insists that should be able to (since Boruto has done it before).
- Kawaki fires one shot from his palm. Boruto jumps up and out of the way.
- Boruto yells that he can’t do it abruptly like that. Kawaki’s says he’s still going easy on him though.
- Kawaki tells Boruto to try again. It’ll only hurt… a little bit.
- Boruto takes the shot to the hand, and he’s in pain.
- He yells back at Kawaki that he needs to be taught how to do it properly.
- Kawaki just tells Boruto that he’s surprisingly bad at it.
- A toad rustles out of a tree branch. KK is watching remotely.
- But anyway, Naruto tells them that since their match is over, they should make the Seal of Reconciliation.
- When their hands make contact… Suddenly we get a half-page panel of the right side of Momoshiki’s face.
- Boruto is in pain again.
- Kawaki also seems to feel something.
- KK seems to sense that something is going on.
- Boruto’s wounded palm…Is suddenly healing itself!
- KK seems surprised.
- Boruto remembers Momoshiki from that day. He doesn’t understand why he came to mind.
- Kawaki still doesn’t understand what’s going on. He didn’t see anything concrete.
- Boruto realizes that he’s the only who saw it. But what was that?
- Naruto rushes over. Boruto brushes it off, saying the pain happens every once in a while.
- KK wonders if it was unconscious healing? Something not intentional. Was it because of Karma, or because Boruto has some other trait that’s unique to him?
- KK thinks that if Boruto indeed has the same power as Jigen, then it’ll become troublesome.
- Delta has her eyes closed. She’s scanning the area with the view of her drone’s eyeball (Similar vertical lines)
- She is able to spot Kawaki.
- She wonders if KK has found him yet, but that doesn’t really matter to her. Konoha is about to detect her anyway. She’s willing to take her chances.
- Suddenly the soles of her boots turn into rockets…And she’s able to start flying through the air.
- Ino senses her immediately while she’s at the flower shop.
- The sensory division can’t find a match for her chakra.
- Ino then warns Naruto telepathically that there’s an enemy on the way. Naruto says he’ll handle things on his own.
- KK thinks that Delta’s entrance is shameless as she flies by him.
- Naruto tells Boruto to take Himawari and run away before the enemy arrives, but it’s too late.
- Kawaki recognizes Delta as she lands in front of them.
- She asks Kawaki how extreme his punishment should be. Judging by his expression, he seems to remember her.
Next chapter is out on 1/28 in Japan!
OMAKE SPOILERS:
- The title is ‘Kawaki’s Darkness’.
- Boruto and Shikadai are strolling along the alleyway, chatting.
- Boruto tells him that Kawaki wasn’t raised in a good environment. He was incredibly moved by the taste of taiyaki, for example
- Shikadai gets the idea to exchange the sweet red bean filling of a taiyaki…with a giant portion of wasabi instead.
- Boruto is shocked. That seems kinda like a bad thing to do.
- Shikadai calls it a ‘Konoha-style baptism’
- So back at the Uzumaki residence, Kawaki finds a plate of a lone taiyaki.
- He eagerly chomps down on it.
- Shikadai is laughing.
- Kawaki gets an intense expression on his face…
- IT'S SO DAMN DELICIOUS.
- It makes Boruto and Shikadai flinch.
- The caption at the end says that no matter what Kawaki eats, he’ll always think it’s delicious :3~!!
- Shikadai + Boruto mission failure.
