Ep 44. Episode 146 : Fuir ou mourir !

The episode starts with Team 7 running away from Victor's facility, trying to escape the drones that were chasing them. Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki are exhausted but determined to get out of the place as soon as possible. Boruto suggests that they should split up so that they can deal with the drones in different directions. Sarada agrees, and they start to execute the plan. Mitsuki stays behind to buy them some time.

Meanwhile, Deepa is reporting to Victor, telling him that he has solved the problem of the "defective product." Victor is pleased and orders him to take care of the "intruders." Deepa eagerly accepts the order, saying that he wants to test his new power. He transforms himself into his "beast mode" and starts to chase the team.

Boruto and Sarada are leading the drones into a narrow alley, where they plan to trap them. However, they have underestimated the drones' agility and intelligence. The drones are able to fly over the traps and continue chasing them. Boruto and Sarada realize that they are in trouble and decide to stop running. They face the drones head-on. Sarada uses her Sharingan to analyze the drones' movements and then strikes them with her Chidori. Boruto uses his Rasengan to destroy them. The two are successful in destroying all the drones.

Mitsuki is dealing with Deepa. He transforms himself into his Sage mode and attacks Deepa with his senjutsu-enhanced strikes. Deepa is surprised by Mitsuki's power and decides to use his "beast mode" to counter it. The two engage in a fierce battle, with Deepa having the upper hand for most of the time. Mitsuki realizes that he needs to use his trump card, the Sage transformation. He activates it and gains tremendous power. Mitsuki's attacks become faster and stronger, and he is able to injure Deepa severely. However, Deepa is still not defeated and tells Mitsuki that he is not one of the "vessel" that Victor needs. Mitsuki is confused and asks him what he means, but Deepa only laughs and says that Mitsuki will find out soon enough. Mitsuki decides to finish the battle and attacks Deepa with his full power, but Deepa is able to deflect the attack and counter-attacks. Mitsuki is caught off-guard and is severely injured.

Boruto and Sarada hear the commotion and rush to Mitsuki's side. They find him lying on the ground, unconscious. Deepa is standing over him, ready to finish him off. Boruto and Sarada face him, but they are no match for his power. Deepa reveals that he is a loyal follower of Victor, and that he will do anything to carry out his orders. He tells them that they can either run away and live, or stay and die. Boruto and Sarada look at each other and then at Mitsuki. They know that they cannot leave him behind. They decide to fight, even if it means risking their lives.

The episode ends with Boruto, Sarada, and Deepa facing each other, ready to fight. The stakes are high, and the outcome is uncertain. The only thing that they know is that they have to keep moving forward, no matter what.
