"The Right Job for Idiots and Bastards" (馬鹿と鋏とクソ野郎, Baka to hasami to kuso yarō)[1] is the 58th chapter of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
Summary[]
Naruto tells Boruto about the Byakugan suppressors that Amado gave him to help suppress Boruto's Ohtsutsuki-fication. He tells Boruto to make an informed choice about whether he wants to take the pills, given possible side effects, however, Boruto near immediately ingests one, having found his resolve to do whatever it takes to prevent Momoshiki from overtaking his body. Team 7 has a training session observed by Konohamaru and Naruto. Kawaki, annoyed at everyone's behavior and non-urgency given Code's impending attack, provokes a fight with Mitsuki and Sarada. Boruto steps in and they argue to fight: winner decides how training is spent. After a barrage of back and forth attacks, Kawaki loses the match when he tries to absorb an attack with Karma, only to realize he no longer has it, and gets hit with Lightning Style: Thunderclap Arrow. Boruto tells Kawaki he can rely on Team 7, and doesn't have to push himself so hard anymore. Konohamaru and Naruto reflect that Boruto has become more mature. As Team 7 prepares to resume training, Kawaki resolves to get stronger, no matter what it takes.
Trivia[]
- The title of this chapter is a play on the idiom "馬鹿と鋏とは使い様" which translates to "the right tools for the right job", or literally means "fools and (blunt) scissors have their own uses". The beginning of the idiom "馬鹿と鋏" (idiots and blunt scissors) is paired with "クソ野郎" (damn bastard) to form the chapter title.
