Ep. 86: Oonoki reveals his Akuta Troop plan to Boruto while Ku attempts a violent coup in the Hidden Stone Village.
Oonoki takes Boruto to a secret location to explain his vision for the future, shaped by the loss of his grandson Kozuchi five years ago. To honor Kozuchi's wish for a peaceful village, Oonoki established a soulless army called the Fabrications, now known as the Akuta Troops, designed to protect the weak. Viewing Mitsuki as an ideal artificial human for further studies, Oonoki informs Boruto that he requires Mitsuki for his experiments. Simultaneously, Ku and his allies are racing against time to execute their plan. They intend to seize control of the Hidden Stone Village by using force to suppress any dissent. Although Boruto comprehends Oonoki's perspective, he struggles with the elder's methods, particularly because Mitsuki possesses his own independent will.
