[00:09] ---
    The Climbing Silver strategy
    right off the bat?
[00:11] ---
    I thought you didn't like moves like that.
[00:16] ---
    To defend your king
    from a superior opponent,
[00:18] ---
    one must sometimes make sacrifices.
[00:25] ---
    Did something happen?
[00:27] ---
    No, nothing in particular.
[00:29] ---
    It's just that I only now understand
    the importance of the King.
[00:37] ---
    Hey, Shikamaru…
[00:38] ---
    If we match up Leaf Shinobi
    to chess pieces,
[00:41] ---
    do you know which one the King is?
[00:44] ---
    It's the Hokage, right?
[00:46] ---
    That's what I used to think too,
    until recently.
[00:49] ---
    But I was wrong…
[00:52] ---
    Then who is it?
[00:56] ---
    You'll know the answer
    when the time comes.
[01:06] ---
    KING
    
    
    
[01:08] ---
    KING
    
    Mirai should be reaching the age
    when she'll be able to realize…
[01:13] ---
    who the King is.
[01:24] ---
    Is there really a hot spring
    in an area like this?
[01:28] ---
    Don't worry, don't worry!
[01:30] ---
    On the hot spring route,
[01:31] ---
    it's known as the secret, hidden spot
    you must visit at least once.
[01:35] ---
    Sorry, Tatsumi.
[01:37] ---
    I know you came with us in memory
    of your mother, but…
[01:41] ---
    Oh, no!
[01:42] ---
    Traveling with all of you
    makes me feel safe!
[01:46] ---
    Besides, I think my mom would be happy
    about going to a hidden hot spring.
[01:50] ---
    You must be like your mother, Tatsumi.
[01:53] ---
    I was told that often.
[01:55] ---
    Which parent do you take after,
    Miss Mirai?
[01:59] ---
    My mom, I think.
[02:01] ---
    My father died before I was born.
[02:05] ---
    What?
[02:06] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[02:08] ---
    Don't be!
[02:09] ---
    It doesn't bother me at all.
[02:13] ---
    We should be arriving soon.
[02:15] ---
    Um…
[02:16] ---
    There's supposed to be a hot spring
    village beyond this hill.
[02:20] ---
    Kakashi!
[02:21] ---
    I'm taking the first soak!
[02:24] ---
    Hey! No fair!
[02:26] ---
    Please wait!
[02:32] ---
    Oh.
[02:34] ---
    It's a mountain.
[02:36] ---
    Yeah, it sure is.
[02:38] ---
    It sure…isn't a mountain!
[02:40] ---
    Something terrible's happened here!
[04:16] ---
    The Steam Ninja Scrolls:
    Potato Chips and the Giant Boulder!
    
    
[04:20] ---
    Are you folks…
[04:22] ---
    here to visit the hot springs?
[04:26] ---
    Yes, but what happened here?
[04:30] ---
    I hate to disappoint you,
[04:32] ---
    but about a month ago, a giant boulder
    fell from the mountain.
[04:37] ---
    And everything got crushed beneath it.
[04:40] ---
    So, the hot spring is under all of this?
[04:43] ---
    But we were fortunate
    that no one got hurt.
[04:49] ---
    Seems it was a blessing that
[04:50] ---
    this was a hidden hot spring deep in
    the mountains with only a few residents.
[04:54] ---
    Oh, too bad!
[04:56] ---
    If I were 20 years younger,
    a boulder like would be easy to move.
[05:01] ---
    It's been like this for a month,
    even with all this damage you sustained?
[05:05] ---
    Hey!
[05:07] ---
    Are you travelers?
[05:09] ---
    Thank you for coming all this way!
[05:12] ---
    Our village has nothing to offer,
    but how about joining us for a drink?
[05:18] ---
    Have a drink!
[05:20] ---
    Well, I just can't refuse your offer.
[05:23] ---
    You as well!
[05:24] ---
    Yes, thank you!
[05:27] ---
    May I have another?
[05:29] ---
    Huh? Well…
[05:30] ---
    How did you—?!
[05:31] ---
    Sure. You look like you enjoy drinking.
[05:35] ---
    I won't lose this match, Kakashi!
[05:40] ---
    Oh, so you're a drinker too?!
[05:42] ---
    I'm just getting started!
[05:46] ---
    Seems like you're a seasoned drunk!
[05:50] ---
    How's the reconstruction going?
[05:52] ---
    It's impossible.
[05:54] ---
    But you can't leave things
    as they are, right?
[05:57] ---
    I can't tell if
    it's a boulder or a mountain.
[06:00] ---
    It's not like we can do anything about it
    by ourselves.
[06:04] ---
    Yeah…
[06:05] ---
    We cleared away the mud and sand.
[06:07] ---
    We've done everything
    we possibly can.
[06:10] ---
    Why haven't shinobi from
    the Hidden Steam come to help you?
[06:15] ---
    Recently, several young women
    have gone missing nearby.
[06:20] ---
    Girls just about your age.
[06:23] ---
    Huh?
[06:25] ---
    Human lives are at stake.
[06:28] ---
    So, of course, that takes priority.
[06:31] ---
    Why don't we just seek help
    from the Land of Fire?
[06:36] ---
    You think they would cross
    the national border
[06:38] ---
    and come all the way
    to a village like ours?
[06:40] ---
    I doubt it!
[06:42] ---
    But we are here!
    We're right in front of you!
[06:45] ---
    And say they did come to help.
[06:49] ---
    For something like this, they'd only send
    low-ranking guys with no authority.
[06:54] ---
    Don't you think so too?
[06:57] ---
    No, you're wrong!
[06:58] ---
    He's the previous Hokage!
[07:18] ---
    Not gonna happen.
[07:21] ---
    Like I can move it by myself.
[07:26] ---
    I'm sorry you embarked on
    a long journey for nothing.
[07:32] ---
    Oh, no!
[07:34] ---
    This is a specialty from
    the Land of Steam.
[07:36] ---
    They're potatoes roasted
    in an underground pit.
[07:38] ---
    Please have one!
[07:39] ---
    Thank you very much!
[07:45] ---
    It's delicious!
[07:47] ---
    I'm sorry that's about all we can offer.
[07:49] ---
    I wish you could have soaked
    in the hot spring, but…
[07:53] ---
    No, I'm sorry
    we can't help in any way.
[07:57] ---
    Why did I become a shinobi?
[08:00] ---
    I can't even help this one old woman
    who's in a bad situation.
[08:04] ---
    All right.
[08:05] ---
    Eat up now.
[08:13] ---
    Even if the boulder is removed,
    there will be lots of debris.
[08:17] ---
    Simply hauling that away
    will be a huge task.
[08:20] ---
    It's near impossible
    with this amount of people.
[08:24] ---
    But—!
[08:25] ---
    Are we just going to give up?!
[08:27] ---
    Isn't there anything we can do?!
[08:33] ---
    You've got guts.
[08:35] ---
    Huh?
[08:36] ---
    I've already taken steps.
[08:40] ---
    Mr. Choji is?!
[08:42] ---
    Yeah, he was on a mission nearby.
[08:45] ---
    To be able to move
    a giant boulder like that…
[08:48] ---
    He's the only one who can do it!
    He's the strongest man in the Hidden Leaf.
[08:53] ---
    Oh, someone's coming!
[09:03] ---
    He looks very strong.
[09:07] ---
    Please, Mr. Choji, help us.
[09:10] ---
    Mirai!
[09:12] ---
    That sharp gaze!
[09:14] ---
    No wonder he's a Hidden Leaf hero
    who lived through the Great Ninja War…
[09:21] ---
    I ate…
[09:24] ---
    …all of my potato chips.
[09:26] ---
    Why did you even come here?!
[09:30] ---
    I haven't eaten anything for so long…
[09:35] ---
    I get it.
[09:37] ---
    He had a rough mission and
    hasn't eaten for days!
[09:40] ---
    The last time I had potato chips was…
[09:43] ---
    already…
[09:45] ---
    30 minutes ago!
[09:46] ---
    Huh?!
[09:48] ---
    I'm sorry…
[09:49] ---
    The way I am now,
    I can't move that boulder…
[09:54] ---
    Please wait!
[09:55] ---
    If it's food that you need,
    I have some delicious potatoes!
[09:59] ---
    Here you go!
[10:02] ---
    Th-These are—!
[10:14] ---
    These are the Land of Steam's potatoes
    roasted in an underground pit, all right!
[10:18] ---
    They live up to
    their delicious hype!
[10:20] ---
    So, they'll do the trick?
[10:23] ---
    Nope.
[10:24] ---
    There's not enough fat
    in the roasted potatoes.
[10:27] ---
    I have to have potato chips.
[10:31] ---
    Why does it have to be chips?
    Can't you just drink cooking oil?
[10:36] ---
    This is a problem.
[10:38] ---
    You can't buy potato chips
    this deep in the mountains.
[10:41] ---
    Potato chips…
[10:43] ---
    If I just had potato chips…
[10:44] ---
    Potato chips…
[10:45] ---
    Potato chips…
[10:47] ---
    Potato chips!
[10:48] ---
    I'll think of something!
[10:55] ---
    Are you sure?
[10:56] ---
    I feel bad making you
    help me like this.
[10:59] ---
    I'm a pretty good cook.
[11:02] ---
    My mom taught me.
[11:04] ---
    I don't have much experience
    with cooking…
[11:07] ---
    So right now, you're the big sister.
[11:14] ---
    Could you cut them more evenly,
    and thinner?
[11:19] ---
    Like this?
[11:21] ---
    Yes, yes.
[11:22] ---
    I'm sure there are thick-cut chips out there
    that have a flakier texture.
[11:27] ---
    But I prefer thin and crispy potato chips
[11:30] ---
    that showcase
    the true essence of the potato!
[11:33] ---
    Then, why don't you
    make them yourself?!
[11:38] ---
    The simplicity of frying a potato in oil
    brings out every aspect of its taste.
[11:44] ---
    That's what a potato chip is!
[11:47] ---
    The five senses come alive
    as one's appetite is stimulated…
[11:51] ---
    Although deep frying seems easy,
[11:53] ---
    it's a deeply complex and
    profound technique.
[11:56] ---
    You must clear your mind and
[11:57] ---
    be attuned to the sound the potato
    makes while it's frying.
[12:00] ---
    Long ago, Asuma Sensei would often say
    to me during training…
[12:04] ---
    "Clear your mind.
    You're too occupied with your thoughts."
[12:10] ---
    Clear my mind?
[12:12] ---
    Yes. He said to just focus strictly on
    what you can do right now.
[12:21] ---
    Mr. Choji, you were my father's pupil,
    weren't you?
[12:25] ---
    Yes, I was.
[12:26] ---
    What was my father like?
[12:30] ---
    Let's see,
[12:32] ---
    Sensei…
[12:34] ---
    smoked a lot.
[12:38] ---
    No, I didn't mean that!
[12:41] ---
    He was very blunt…
[12:42] ---
    and how can I put it?
[12:44] ---
    Awfully vague.
[12:47] ---
    I see…
[12:50] ---
    But you know, now at my age…
[12:53] ---
    I can sort of understand
    how Sensei felt.
[12:56] ---
    Huh?
[12:58] ---
    You know how Cho-Cho and
    the rest of Team 10
[13:01] ---
    wear those pierced earrings, right?
[13:03] ---
    Uh, yes…
[13:05] ---
    Back in the day, when I was in Team 10,
[13:09] ---
    Asuma Sensei gave those earrings to us
    as a gift when we all became chunin.
[13:16] ---
    My dad gave them to you?
[13:18] ---
    He didn't seem to be watching at all,
[13:20] ---
    but actually, he was totally aware of
    everyone around him.
[13:25] ---
    I think he smoked all the time
    as a way to hide his shyness.
[13:31] ---
    So, he had some charming traits.
[13:35] ---
    You seem kinda happy, Mirai.
[13:39] ---
    Now!
[13:41] ---
    The sound has changed!
[13:42] ---
    Take them out now!
    Hurry!
[13:44] ---
    Huh? Right!
[13:45] ---
    Oh no!
    Ow! Hot!
[13:49] ---
    Seems like we did it, kinda…
[13:56] ---
    The shape's not quite right.
[13:58] ---
    But what's important is the taste, right?
[14:07] ---
    De-licious!
[14:09] ---
    Huh?!
[14:14] ---
    You did it, Mirai!
[14:15] ---
    It was all thanks to you, Tatsumi.
[14:26] ---
    Mr. Choji, actually,
    I think a boulder this size is too—
[14:29] ---
    You made me such delicious
    potato chips.
[14:32] ---
    Leave it to me!
[14:38] ---
    Let's just leave it to him,
    and see what happens!
[14:41] ---
    Yes.
[14:42] ---
    All right! Here I go!
[14:46] ---
    Super Expansion Jutsu!
[14:51] ---
    Huh?!
[14:52] ---
    What?!
[14:53] ---
    What's going on?!
[14:56] ---
    Mr. Choji's Super Expansion Jutsu!
[14:58] ---
    I've only heard about it. It's amazing!
[15:01] ---
    What's going on?
[15:03] ---
    You folks were shinobi?
[15:05] ---
    Oh, thank goodness!
[15:17] ---
    Please do your best!
[15:18] ---
    Right now, you're our only hope,
    Mr. Choji!
[15:25] ---
    Just a little more!
[15:27] ---
    A little more!
[15:28] ---
    A little more!
[15:30] ---
    Long ago…
[15:33] ---
    Asuma Sensei would often say to me
    during training…
[15:37] ---
    … to just focus strictly on
    what you can do right now.
[15:43] ---
    What I can do, right now.
[15:49] ---
    If I can make the boulder
    just a little bit easier to move!
[15:54] ---
    Move!
[15:56] ---
    I'll push too!
[15:58] ---
    Well, I can't just stand by and watch.
[16:02] ---
    All right!
[16:08] ---
    Let's go!
[16:09] ---
    Go? What can we do?
[16:17] ---
    We can't let outsiders outshine us!
[16:20] ---
    You're right!
[16:21] ---
    Let's take back our village and
    our hot spring!
[16:23] ---
    Yeah!
[16:27] ---
    Pull harder!
[16:29] ---
    We have to move it!
[16:32] ---
    Just…a little more!
[16:45] ---
    Amazing! That's beautiful…
[17:05] ---
    He did it!
[17:07] ---
    But what about the hot spring?
[17:17] ---
    Thank goodness!
[17:18] ---
    We did it!
[17:21] ---
    We did it!
[17:23] ---
    You're amazing… Miss Mirai!
[17:25] ---
    Thank you so much…
[17:27] ---
    Now our village can be happy again.
[17:31] ---
    Oh no, it wasn't me.
[17:33] ---
    This was all Mr. Choji's doing!
[17:36] ---
    Hey, where is Mr. Choji anyway?!
[17:38] ---
    What is it…
[17:41] ---
    Mirai?
[17:44] ---
    Mr. Choji?!
[17:45] ---
    What?!
[17:47] ---
    This happens when I do that thing.
[17:50] ---
    Choji's special jutsu expends calories too,
    not just chakra.
[17:57] ---
    Thank you so much.
[18:00] ---
    I'm a shinobi,
    and I couldn't do anything.
[18:03] ---
    If you weren't here Mr. Choji, by now…
[18:06] ---
    No, it wasn't my strength alone.
[18:10] ---
    In the same way that
    you were able to inspire the villagers…
[18:13] ---
    back in the day, I had Asuma Sensei,
    so I could become strong.
[18:18] ---
    My dad?
[18:21] ---
    When I was a genin,
    I had a hard time learning jutsu,
[18:25] ---
    unlike my teammates
    Shikamaru and Ino.
[18:28] ---
    I got depressed often
    because of my failings.
[18:35] ---
    What's with the sad face?
[18:37] ---
    Didn't I tell you to have
    more confidence in yourself?
[18:41] ---
    It's not that easy to be confident.
[18:45] ---
    Well, that's true.
[18:49] ---
    I wasn't confident in myself
    for a long time.
[18:53] ---
    Huh?
[18:54] ---
    You too, Sensei?!
[18:56] ---
    But if you focus on the things
    that you can do,
[19:00] ---
    one day you'll become
    a full-fledged shinobi.
[19:03] ---
    Although, it may give you
    little consolation now.
[19:08] ---
    Will that day ever come?
[19:11] ---
    Don't worry!
[19:13] ---
    I'll train with you as often as you want,
    until you pass the Chunin Exams.
[19:19] ---
    Sensei's words back then…
[19:21] ---
    Is what binds my strength today,
    to protect the King.
[19:26] ---
    The King?!
[19:28] ---
    That's the quiz that
    Shikamaru Sensei gave me.
[19:30] ---
    Yes. It was Asuma Sensei
    who first posed that question to us.
[19:35] ---
    My dad did?!
[19:36] ---
    So, who is the King?
[19:39] ---
    Sorry, but I swore to Shikamaru
    that I wouldn't say.
[19:44] ---
    I see…
[19:46] ---
    But one day,
    you will understand too, Mirai…
[19:49] ---
    The King that Sensei
    gave his life to protect.
[19:55] ---
    You're just like him.
[19:57] ---
    Huh?
[19:58] ---
    You're just like Sensei, Mirai.
[20:02] ---
    I'm like him?
[20:05] ---
    You think of every possible way
    to help someone.
[20:10] ---
    Watching you all this time,
[20:13] ---
    you brought back memories
    of Asuma Sensei.
[20:17] ---
    You are Sensei's child, after all.
[20:25] ---
    That's so wonderful, Miss Mirai!
[20:32] ---
    Thank you so much!
[20:35] ---
    See you later!
[20:42] ---
    There's nothing better
    than a late-night soak!
[20:46] ---
    You're right…
[20:47] ---
    I used up so much strength today,
    this hot spring is really soothing.
[20:53] ---
    Um… Miss Mirai?
[20:55] ---
    Yes, what is it?
[20:57] ---
    Do you want to know more
    about your father?
[21:02] ---
    What's this all of a sudden?
[21:04] ---
    I mean, sure I want to know him.
[21:07] ---
    But I heard a lot about my dad today,
    so I feel a little bit closer to him now.
[21:13] ---
    Just a little, though.
[21:18] ---
    I wish I could have talked to my father,
    even just a little bit.
[21:24] ---
    I see…
[21:27] ---
    Tatsumi, are you feeling okay?

    Maybe you've been in the water
    too long?
[21:32] ---
    I'm sorry…
[21:34] ---
    I've been lying to you.
[21:36] ---
    I told you I was going on a hot spring tour
    in memory of my mother.
[21:40] ---
    But actually, that's not true.
[21:41] ---
    What do you mean?
[21:44] ---
    Miss Mirai…
[21:47] ---
    Have you heard of the hot spring
    where you can see people who've died?
[23:26] ---
    A hot spring where you can see people
    who've died?
[23:28] ---
    I came all the way here to see my mother
    at the Resurrection Hot Spring.
[23:33] ---
    There's no way
    something like that is real!
[23:35] ---
    I really want to see her!
[23:38] ---
    Don't you want to see your father?
