Summary

Boruto and Naruto batter Urashiki without effect while Sakura watches from a distance. Buying time, Sasuke tells Boruto to flee with his father, and Jiraiya summons a toad to carry the two away. Sasuke seizes Urashiki and plunges off a cliff into a river, still gripping his foe. Downstream, Sakura finds the unconscious Sasuke and moves him to safety. As Naruto treats Jiraiya's wound and a bound Boruto frets over rescuing Sasuke, Boruto studies the sage's stab injury and hits upon a theory he wants to test.

Key Events

Urashiki tracks the trail to Sakura and offers to spare her if she surrenders Sasuke, but Boruto and Naruto arrive with explosive and wired kunai, all of which he simply vanishes through. When he counters from a blindspot and gets some of Boruto's blood on himself, Jiraiya and Boruto notice the stains drying faster than their own. Weighing why the blood dries so quickly, Jiraiya deduces Urashiki is not glimpsing the future at all but turning back time for himself, so the extra moments he lives account for the accelerated drying. Urashiki confirms as much, boasting that he can relive an instant repeatedly and pick the best outcome.

Notes

Certain the rewind spans only a few seconds, Jiraiya swallows the whole group inside a toad's stomach, and Naruto and Boruto flood Urashiki with shadow clones that force him to burn his ability again and again. Soon he coughs blood: trapped in the toad's acidic gut, every rewind kept re-exposing him to the corrosive vapors far longer than the others. Jiraiya spits them free, Boruto accelerates Naruto with his Boruto Stream, and Naruto drives a Rasengan home as Konohamaru, Udon, and Moegi look on and Urashiki stirs on the ground.
