During a tour of workplaces for their school assignment, Sumire, Wasabi Izuno and Namida Suzumeno get wrapped up in the Ghost Incident and are hurt. Boruto feels bad that he wasn't there to prevent their harm, and becomes more determined to solve the case. With the help of Tayori Kuroyagi the postal worker, along with Shikadai and Mitsuki, the team scans the village more closely. Then Shikadai and Mitsuki realize one possibility from something Boruto says casually.
They were doing as
they were told, by me.
لقد كانوا يفعلون ما آمرتهم به
Es lief alles nach
meinen Anweisungen.
Hacían lo que yo les dije,
¿verdad, Boruto?
Hacíais lo que os dije, ¿verdad, Boruto?
Come avevo chiesto loro.
Eles estavam apenas
seguindo minhas ordens.
Они делали всё,
как я сказал.
