Synopsis
Boruto is met by Yatsume and Rokuro, who have also awakened from the genjutsu. The three begin exploring Ouga's complex. Boruto gets separated from the others due to several different tricks built into the hallways, after which Rokuro turns on Yatsume and escapes with the map she took off Ouga's first spy. Upon finding a way to return to the room, Boruto only finds Yatsume, who was infected by Rokuro's mind-controlling parasite. Rokuro follows the map to the exit, but he is attacked by Ouga, revealed to be a shinobi puppet. After Rokuro's insect overtakes Yatsume's body, Boruto realizes that they are still trapped in a second layer of genjutsu, but they can still escape. Frustrated with his insight, Yatsume drops the act and reveals herself as the real Ouga, as well as the eighth Inner of Kara, a cyborg created by Amado. Boruto also recognizes their location as the Kara headquarters where he saw Koji Kashin kill Jigen. She explains, that she is the only Inner Amado created by enhancing her mental capabilities, instead of physical prowess, so that she could help him in his research. She then sought to learn more about Jigen, which lead to him forcefully exiling her and removing a part of her brain. After Isshiki's demise, she began conducting her life-threatening experiments on people, in an effort to reawaken her own desire to live, which Jigen had quelled. Ouga tells Boruto to stab her, in order to finally escape the genjutsu and wake the others up as well, but Boruto hesitates, since he realizes that killing Ouga in the genjutsu might be enough to actually kill her, weakened as she is now, due to the lack of maintenance. As the genjutsu world begins collapsing, Boruto inspires Ouga to find a reason to live and wake up by herself and wake everyone else. Boruto contacts Team Sarada and the ANBU with Kiseru's comms and rejoices, upon seeing everyone else alive. Amidst the commotion of everyone being freed, Ouga escapes to pursue her dream, but promises to visit Boruto in a letter she left behind.
