"Escaping the Tightening Net" (包囲網を脱出せよ!, Hōimō o Dasshutsu seyo!) is episode 162 of the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime.

Synopsis[]

Boruto warns Konohamaru the castle is completely surrounded. The two escape the castle, and manage to lose the mob, reuniting with Sarada and Mugino. The perfume bomb Boruto was hit with makes him easy to track. Boruto goes with Mugino to try get the perfume off of him, while Konohamaru and Sarada track the brothers who stole the Hashirama Cell. The brothers discuss their plans. Mugino tries getting rid of the perfume by getting Boruto to fall into a drainage ditch. They instead use it to move around unnoticed. Konohamaru and Sarada decide to check on the shop owner they previously interviewed, so Konohamaru disguises himself as Kirisaki. Boruto manages to get the perfume off of him, but he and Mugino are still being tracked with dogs. As Kirisaki, Konohamaru promises good money for information on the shinobi brothers. Unable to completely throw off their pursuers, Boruto and Mugino decide to leave the village instead of joining up with Sarada and Konohamaru. Boruto climbs to the roofs, having found the shortest route out of the village. The shopkeeper knows the real Kirisaki has been found, so his subordinates prepare to attack. Sarada breaks through the ceiling, allowing Konohamaru to escape. They're surrounded, but are rescued by Boruto and Mugino, who have stolen an unmanned airship. This way, Boruto's smell is irrelevant, and they can more easily search for the thieves. However, their pursuers shoot the airship down. They're surrounded, but Katara, the black market child who Boruto protected from Kirisaki, shows them an escape route under the village. They meet up with Mitsuki underground, who came back with Kona, Katara's sister. Mitsuki comments on Boruto's smell. Boruto shares what he learned about the earring, lookalike shinobi who stole the Hashirama Cell. Mitsuki reveals Yubina determined the Hashirama Cell to be unstable, so it can't be rushed out, which is why they were framed for killing Sakuya. Katara gives them intel on the earring shinobi he acquires through his underground friends. They intend to gain on them through the underground routes. Deepa kills everyone at the establishments he eats. The Konoha shinobi split up to find the earring shinobi. The genin are attacked with Lightning Release.
