Instead of returning home with Boruto, Mitsuki stays with Kokuyou. During this time, Sekiei becomes sick and declines. To recover, Kokuyou returns to his comrades. During his absence, Sekiei asks Mitsuki to teach him what it means to be human.  Meanwhile, the Fourth Tsuchikage Kurotsuchi, who had been visiting Ohnoki, her ailing grandfather, is attacked by mysterious assailants.
I will have you step down
from the role of Tsuchikage.
سأطلب منك أن تتنحّي عن منصب التسوتشيكاغي
Ti farò scendere dal trono di Tsuchikage...
Vou fazê-lo desistir de ser Tsuchikage.
Я заставлю тебя сойти
с трона Цутикаге.
