244

Funamushi leads his troops into the ravine after discovering the bridges are destroyed, exactly as Kagura anticipated. Buntan confronts Hebiichigo regarding her attempt on Kagura’s life. Still doubting their acquittal, Hebiichigo urges Buntan to flee during the chaos and rejoin Shizuma’s group. Buntan advises her to stop trusting the wrong people, citing Shizuma’s exploitation of her during the prison escape. Kagura releases the Curse Marks binding his squad. The shinobi and villagers take cover to ensure Funamushi’s scouting party enters the ravine. Meanwhile, Kagura, Boruto, and Mitsuki travel to the mountains to retrieve children who took Kawaki’s headband. Amidst the commotion, Hebiichigo runs away despite Metal’s failed attempts to stop her. Kagura trusts Buntan and Kyoho to retrieve her.
