Too much knowledge can create disaster

Near the end of the chapter, Shikamaru discreetly contacts a select group of shinobi with two strict conditions:
They must not be hostile to Boruto
They must support and protect him within the village
Their mission is to counter Mamushi, who is preparing to infiltrate Konoha undetected. The conflict has officially reached a boiling point.
