Ep 159. The Hashirama Cell

Boruto and his team continue their mission to investigate the mysterious cells that were stolen from Konoha's medical research facility. They learn that the thief is a former member of the Root, Danzo's intelligence agency, who was disbanded after the Fourth Great Ninja War. He believes that the cells, which are said to have been taken from Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, hold the key to creating a perfect human being.

Meanwhile, Shikamaru and Tsunade discuss the implications of the stolen cells and what measures need to be taken to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. Tsunade reveals that she had been keeping the cells safe in a hidden location, but they were stolen by someone with knowledge of Konoha's security measures.

Back on the mission, Boruto and his team confront the thief and engage in a battle with his minions. They manage to retrieve the cells, but not before the thief injects himself with one of them and undergoes a drastic transformation. The thief becomes a grotesque monster with immense strength and regenerative abilities, and he begins to wreak havoc on the village.

Boruto and his team, along with several other Konoha shinobi, join forces to defeat the monster and save the village from destruction. The battle is intense, and several shinobi are injured in the process. Ultimately, Boruto and his teammates come up with a plan to use their unique skills and abilities to subdue the monster and extract the stolen cell from his body.

In the aftermath of the battle, the stolen cells are returned safely to Konoha's medical research facility, and Tsunade expresses her gratitude to Boruto and his team for their brave actions. She also warns them of the dangerous consequences that could arise from the misuse of the Hashirama cells and urges them to continue their vigilant efforts to protect Konoha.

As the episode ends, Boruto and his friends reflect on the importance of teamwork and the sacrifices made by the shinobi who fought to protect the village. They pledge to honor their legacy and work towards a brighter future for the next generation of shinobi.
