Kokuri's Secret

Boruto and Mitsuki question Kokuri about the funds he took from the Mujina Bandits, while Kamata cozies up to him chasing the same answer. The suspicious guard Benga meets Tsukiyo, who wants Kokuri shifted to another Hozuki Castle where his men can kill him. Benga squeezes Kamata by prodding at his sick sister and his gambling winnings from Doragu, buying him hamburgers with his own earnings and threatening to expose the crimes in a letter home unless he reports on Boruto and Kokuri. Sarada places Kokuri under a genjutsu, and he confesses he gave away every coin. Kamata overhears, and Mitsuki confirms it through a news item about a mystery donation to the Medical Foundation.

Kokuri lays out his past as an accountant who shuffled clients' money and pieced together from robbery reports that a sum belonged to the Mujina. He fled in a panic, unaware he still carried their latest haul, then donated it. Spotted by Mujina members, he escaped by leaping down a waterfall and swimming off. Trying to atone, he moved to stop a pickpocket, only for the woman to be the real thief, leaving him charged as her accomplice. Kamata, shaken because that donation aided his sister, lies to Benga that nothing connects Boruto and Kokuri, but Benga reads his tells, beats him, and has Haie throw him into solitary with an extended sentence. Meanwhile Shikamaru and Sai tell Naruto that Kusagakure has paroled Kokuri.

Warden Mujo suspends Benga for padding prisoners' sentences, but Benga withholds his medicine as Mujo's illness flares, torches the parole order, seizes command of the prison, and lines up Kokuri's transfer to Tsukiyo. Noticing Kamata gone and word that Benga now runs things, Boruto resolves to break out before the transfer can happen. The episode belongs to the Mujina Bandits arc of the Boruto anime.
