Boruto suffers from heatstroke and falls into the ocean, where he is saved by a figure with webbed fingers. When he comes to, Iwabee tells him he merely passed out from heatstroke on the ship. Another ship approaches them, the boy on the ship reminding Boruto of the figure he saw. Boruto asks the boy if he's the one who dove after him. The boy is flustered, and the other man tells him the boy was with him the whole time. Boruto remains certain he fell in the ocean, despite everyone else saying otherwise. Kagura recognises the man as Kajiki, a prominent shipbuilder from an island north of Kirigakure. The boy boasts Kajiki is the best shipbuilder in the whole Land of Water, and is reprimanded by Kajiki. The boy introduces himself as Ikada, Kajiki's apprentice, and notes most of them are Konoha shinobi. Kagura explains their situation, and deciding he can't fix the ship there, Kajiki has Ikada prepare for their ship to tow the damaged one.

Isari recalls that Kagura was the warden of Araumi's prison, and fighting a Konoha shinobi during the breakout. Araumi and Isari both tell Tenma not to worry, as the fortress did its purpose, and was just a tool, all that matters is defeating their enemies at the end.

Buntan complains about their situation. Kawaki is bothered by Mitsuki following him. Kajiki chides Ikada for letting an important engine part to go out of stock, and is unwilling to let him go get more because of Funato activity. Boruto offers to guard Funato while he retrieves the missing part. Kajiki allows it, so Ikada and Boruto depart on a small ship made by Ikada.
