Recap of Episode 281

Boruto finally escapes the genjutsu and finds the chamber he and the others were trapped in; however, the others are still trapped inside and attached to tubes, unable to wake up. Only Rokuro and Yatsume escape along with him.

Since they died during the genjutsu, the rest of them are trapped inside. Yatsume finds a keycard and manages to open the closed exit, and they go down a dimly lit path when Yatsume collapses.

They reach a crossroads and continue making choices as the path doesn’t seem to be coming to an end. Rokuro figures out that they’ve been going through the same way repeatedly, and the trap is realized as the door shuts down on them.

Rokuro gets aggressive with Yatsume over the map and manages to land his attack clean into her neck, and Boruto reaches way too late as he has already made away with it. He gets the final exit and scans the card.

Rokuro comes across Ouga, a puppet now, who charges and attacks him instantly. Boruto and an incapacitated Yatsume start making their way toward the light as the insects start taking over, and she turns on him.

In a flash of genius, Boruto realizes that this is yet another genjutsu and there is no actual pain from the kunai. Now, Yatsume is completely possessed as Ouga transforms and shows her proper form, the eighth inner created by Amado.

She explains her reasoning for creating this game, wanting to see people’s true desires. Boruto backs away in fear as he realizes the location of the genjutsu. Amado, who was at a dead end, created Ouga, and her withering body is the reason for what she is now.

She wants to see everyone in a desperate state to incur once again her desire to live, she asks Boruto to stab her to release the genjutsu and remove the scroll from a particular chamber in the real world.

Boruto, however, hesitates to stab her as he realizes there’s no possibility of her waking up if he does so, which is why he needs to remove the scroll. Ouga explains that she has realized that there’s not much time left for her.

The collapse of the genjutsu begins as everything crumbles before their eyes, and pillars and rocks fall from the cosmos. Boruto uses his jutsu to keep them both alive, and they make it out safely.

Ouga remains weak-minded and unable to gather the willpower to wake up from the genjutsu; Boruto explains his ninja way and inspires her to wake up. Seeing his unwavering desire for good, she can’t remain so mentally weak.

She manages to get out and starts crawling toward the scroll. Sarada and the Anbu are talking as Mitsuki gains contact from Boruto. They’ve all managed to escape the genjutsu and gather outside the mountain as help is on the way.

Shamo gives Boruto a letter from Ouga, bidding farewell and announcing the realization of her dream.
