FIRE
[00:11] ---
Hmm…
[00:15] ---
How's it going?
Have you come to a decision?
[00:18] ---
Hey, do you think this is something
I can decide easily?
[00:24] ---
The Chunin Exams were suspended
because of the Otsutsuki.
[00:29] ---
Consequently, we've put off promoting
anyone to chunin.
[00:34] ---
I'm getting pestered by
so many departments
[00:36] ---
to hurry up and decide!
[00:38] ---
I know that.
[00:40] ---
But it's really hard,
[00:41] ---
working under the rule that
we can promote only one person.
[00:46] ---
All right, who do we choose
to promote to chunin?
[02:22] ---

HOKAGE'S OFFICE
The Chunin Selection Conference
[02:25] ---
This is pretty hard, isn't it?
[02:28] ---
A chunin is the leader of a team.
[02:30] ---
This isn't about individual
fighting skills,
[02:33] ---
but the ability to lead a team,
[02:35] ---
discern battle situations
and make decisions.
[02:38] ---
We have to match up those qualities
with the participants
[02:40] ---
and choose carefully, right?
[02:42] ---
Part one of the exams was
Sai's True-False quiz.
[02:46] ---
…is a true or false quiz.
[02:47] ---
Huh!?
[02:50] ---
A-A quiz?!
[02:59] ---
EXPLODE
[03:02] ---
The correct answer is—!
[03:03] ---
Quite a few were eliminated
in that round.
[03:06] ---
We started out with 32 teams,
and only eight teams made it.
[03:09] ---
It's ink!
We started out with 32 teams,
and only eight teams made it.
[03:10] ---
A pool of ink!
[03:12] ---
We definitely can't promote anyone
who failed in the first round.
[03:17] ---
Boruto!
[03:29] ---
Four Hidden Leaf teams
made it through.
[03:32] ---
…the instant you realize you were backed
From the other villages,
there were two from the Mist
[03:34] ---
…the instant you realize you were backed
and one each from
the Sand and Cloud.
[03:37] ---
into a difficult situation.
[03:39] ---
Did you give up,
or did you refuse to give up?
[03:43] ---
Which means, we have to choose
from among these guys.
[03:50] ---
In a team battle,
the leader of the team
[03:53] ---
influences if they win or lose.
[03:55] ---
It's the ideal test to look
for chunin qualities.
[04:00] ---
Of course,
that leaves out anyone
[04:02] ---
who disregards team coordination
and rushes out on their own.
[04:05] ---
Yeah, that reminds me…
[04:07] ---
Shinki of the Sand rushed out
on his own, didn't he?
[04:11] ---
Uh yeah, you're right.
[04:14] ---
But he was way ahead
of the others in skill.
[04:16] ---
He took on Iwabe, Denki and Metal
all by himself and won.
[04:20] ---
Just what you'd expect
from Gaara's son.
[04:23] ---
You lost when you got caught up
in my provocation,
[04:25] ---
and forgot about the rules.
[04:28] ---
Shikadai and his team's coordination
was perfect, huh?
[04:30] ---
No, Shikadai's strategy just happened
to work out, that's all.
[04:35] ---
Inojin and Cho-Cho
just followed along.
[04:37] ---
That's how it's been since
your Ino-Shika-Cho days!
[04:41] ---
I think, when you or Shikadai
are in the lead,
[04:43] ---
there's no choice
but to follow your strategy.
[04:46] ---
I got it!
Think so?
[04:48] ---
Sumire's team failed
in Round Two.
[04:50] ---
They had a strong team,
but back then,
[04:53] ---
they lacked balance
in their abilities.
[04:57] ---
Sumire's joining the Scientific
Ninja Tools team, right?
[05:00] ---
Yeah, but that doesn't change
the fact that she's a shinobi.
[05:03] ---
Sumire qualifies as a candidate.
What do you think?
[05:05] ---
Let's look at Team 5.
[05:07] ---
Just kidding.
Let's look at Team 5.
[05:08] ---
I was surprised by Iwabe
and Metal's improvement.
[05:11] ---
Yeah.
[05:12] ---
But they're the type to succeed
on the front lines of battle.
[05:13] ---
We did terribly.
But they're the type to succeed
on the front lines of battle.
[05:15] ---
We got our butts kicked.
Rather than putting them
in charge as team captains,
[05:17] ---
I didn't get nervous!
it's better for them to gain
more experience in actual combat.
[05:19] ---
Me too… I held back everyone.
Also, with Wasabi and Namida,
[05:22] ---
What's done is done.
Don't sweat it!
they've gotten stronger,
[05:25] ---
We probably weren't ready for this.
but I get the feeling that they haven't
progressed enough to be team captains.
[05:28] ---
For sure, there were jutsu
we never saw before…
progressed enough to be team captains.
[05:30] ---
And we knew nothing
about our enemies.
Does that mean we keep
Denki and Sumire on the list?
[05:33] ---
Maybe we were…
Does that mean we keep
Denki and Sumire on the list?
[05:35] ---
You think so?
Sumire was strong to begin with.
[05:37] ---
Don't lose, you guys!
She's sharp and has the qualities
to be a chunin.
[05:39] ---
That is right!
She's sharp and has the qualities
to be a chunin.
[05:40] ---
Yup. We'll be rooting for you.
As for Denki…
[05:43] ---
I think he's shown
the most growth as a shinobi.
[05:48] ---
I see.
[05:50] ---
Originally, he had no desire
to become a shinobi.
[05:53] ---
But now, he's a genin along
with Boruto and the others.
[05:58] ---
Also, the way he analyzes
situations from the back
[06:02] ---
makes him suited to be
a team captain.
[06:06] ---
As you can see,
it's five against three.
[06:09] ---
So, you know who has the edge, right?!
Okay, next up is Team 7…
[06:12] ---
It seems Boruto thought
[06:14] ---
Ah… Nine on five isn't gonna work.
he could use his Shadow Clones
and do more than he could.
[06:17] ---
He failed miserably, huh?
[06:19] ---
And as a result of that…
[06:20] ---
Okay, reverse!
[06:23] ---
I'm not gonna…let you!
[06:24] ---
We learned afterwards
[06:27] ---
Water Style Bullet: Orca!
that he was using a Scientific
Ninja Tool during the test.
[06:29] ---
that he was using a Scientific
Ninja Tool during the test.
[06:30] ---
By rights, he should be disqualified.
[06:36] ---
Well, setting Boruto aside…
[06:38] ---
Regarding Mitsuki and Sarada,
[06:41] ---
I can't think of a reason
to drop them.
[06:48] ---
He used a Scientific Ninja Tool
[06:51] ---
because he wanted me
to acknowledge him.
[06:56] ---
Still, there's no way
I can promote him.
[07:00] ---
Sadly, Boruto won't make
the cut this time.
[07:03] ---
If we went strictly by ability,
Boruto has grown as well.
[07:07] ---
I have high hopes for him
going forward.
[07:10] ---
Round Three consists
of individual matches!
[07:12] ---
The individual battles in
Round 3 was fun
[07:14] ---
because everyone
had unique personalities.
[07:16] ---
Yeah. Nowadays,
we keep hearing that
[07:19] ---
fewer people want to
become shinobi.
[07:20] ---
So, it's amazing how people with
real ability show up each time.
[07:24] ---
Shikadai struggled quite a bit.
[07:25] ---
Damn it.
You have such a bad attitude.
Shikadai struggled quite a bit.
[07:28] ---
If anything, he's the type of shinobi
who supports from the rear,
[07:29] ---
Fine. It's gonna be a drag,
but I'll attack first.
If anything, he's the type of shinobi
who supports from the rear,
[07:31] ---
whereas Yodo's skills
are in actual combat,
[07:34] ---
so it was a poor match-up.
[07:35] ---
However, leave it to Shikadai.
[07:39] ---
He came up with the right tactic
and won, didn't he?
[07:41] ---
According to him,
it was just sheer luck.
[07:46] ---
When you took your hood off,
your earphones were gone,
[07:48] ---
so it crossed my mind…
Shikadai said he accidently stepped
on a piece of gum
[07:50] ---
but who would've imagined that
you could hear the slight sound
that was left from
the previous match and
[07:52] ---
of me shifting my weight
as I turned to control my shadow!
he was able to figure out that his opponent
had the ability to discern sound.
[07:57] ---
That explains why your reaction
was a beat delayed
Seriously?! To be able to
figure out Yodo's ability
[07:59] ---
when I stepped on the gum earlier.
just from that demonstrates
amazing perception, right?
[08:01] ---
Being modest is just
like Shikadai.
[08:03] ---
Your hearing is frighteningly good.
[08:14] ---
There was no other way to muffle
the sound of my shoes…
[08:22] ---
Shall we call it a match?
[08:28] ---
Sarada won her match easily.
[08:30] ---
The winner…Sarada Uchiha!
[08:33] ---
Ninja Art! Super Beast Scroll!
[08:36] ---
And in the following match-up, Inojin…
[08:39] ---
Lost.
[08:41] ---
How's that?!
[08:42] ---
Araya was using a puppet to battle.
[08:44] ---
Inojin lost because
he wasn't able
[08:46] ---
to see through
his opponent's abilities.
[08:48] ---
He lost that match,
but I understand
[08:50] ---
No reaction to the explosions?
he's been using
the Mind Transfer Jutsu recently.
[08:52] ---
he's been using
the Mind Transfer Jutsu recently.
[08:53] ---
His future looks promising.
[08:56] ---
No way!
[09:02] ---
Snakes?!
[09:04] ---
Then Mitsuki won easily.
[09:06] ---
And the next match was…
[09:09] ---
I…give…up!
Cho-Cho versus Shinki.
[09:12] ---
Well, seeing Cho-Cho so motivated
was very unusual!
[09:18] ---
But of all the luck, she got Shinki
for an opponent.
[09:22] ---
Partial Expansion Jutsu!
[09:30] ---
Empty…
[09:32] ---
Crash!
[09:36] ---
Had it been anyone else,
she might have won.
[09:40] ---
I kinda feel sorry for her.
[09:42] ---
I wish she had displayed that
determination a bit sooner.
[09:47] ---
And, the next match…
[09:50] ---
Hey, hold on!
[09:52] ---
We have to narrow down the list
or we'll be here all night.
[09:56] ---
Human Boulder!
I get what you're saying, but…
[09:59] ---
It's like they're all so close
and it's such a waste…
[10:12] ---
Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!
[10:18] ---
You need to be strict here!
[10:21] ---
The team captain is entrusted with the lives
of their subordinates.
[10:23] ---
It's a huge responsibility.
[10:25] ---
We have to be stringent and
[10:27] ---
drop anyone who doesn't
have the right qualities.
[10:29] ---
Yes, sir.
[10:31] ---
Inojin isn't ready to lead people.
[10:34] ---
Cho-Cho is…
Well, it goes without saying, right?
[10:42] ---
Next up, the match between
Shikadai and Boruto.
[10:46] ---
Boruto used a Scientific Ninja Tool
in that match too.
[10:50] ---
Under normal circumstances,
Shikadai would have won.
[10:53] ---
No.
[10:54] ---
Hmm?
[10:55] ---
Even though Boruto used
a Scientific Ninja Tool,
[10:57] ---
he only called
one Shadow Clone out.
[10:59] ---
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[11:00] ---
Boruto could've managed something
like from training alone.
[11:04] ---
But deciding that four
was Boruto's limit,
[11:07] ---
only highlights Shikadai's inadequacy.
[11:09] ---
Hey, c'mon!
Isn't that a bit harsh?
[11:12] ---
Gotcha!
[11:13] ---
Misinterpreting things like that
causes death in battle.
[11:33] ---
Damn it!
[11:37] ---
I'll retrain Ino-Shika-Cho
from scratch.
[11:41] ---
Wow… Are you serious?
[11:47] ---
Sarada's match against Araya
was a surprise, huh?
[11:55] ---
Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!
[11:59] ---
Who would've imagined
that the real Araya
[12:01] ---
was manipulating a puppet
from a distance?
[12:03] ---
What's more shocking was
Sarada's ability to see through that.
[12:09] ---
She used the Sharingan,
and the Fire Style on top of that.
[12:13] ---
She's another Sasuke!
[12:19] ---
The leadership skills to command a team.
[12:21] ---
The ability to analyze battle situations.
She's definitely got them.
[12:25] ---
Qualities necessary in a chunin, huh?
[12:29] ---
Wind Style: Breakthrough.
[12:31] ---
Since we're talking about that…
[12:33] ---
There's a part of Mitsuki that lacks
awareness about the world.
[12:36] ---
In that way, he's far from
the makings of a chunin.
[12:39] ---
The most critical issue is that
he deserted the village.
[12:43] ---
After being the epicenter
of an incident like that,
[12:46] ---
no one will accept
his promotion to chunin.
[12:48] ---
But according to Konohamaru's reports,
he's changed recently.
[12:53] ---
He's started to speak his mind.
[12:56] ---
Wind Style: Wind Scythe.
[12:57] ---
Well, I guess you can say that
Mitsuki is maturing too.
[13:05] ---
Sarada made it to the finals
and battled Shinki.
[13:09] ---
Although she lost there.
[13:11] ---
I've got no qualms about
her qualifications to become a chunin.
[13:14] ---
Compared to Denki and Sumire,
[13:17] ---
you could say Sarada's abilities
far outshine theirs.
[13:24] ---
All right…
[13:25] ---
I guess it's decided.
We'll promote Sarada to chunin.
[13:29] ---
Sorry to interrupt.
[13:35] ---
Sasuke?!
[13:42] ---
Sasuke, you're back?
[13:45] ---
Yeah. I thought I should report in.
[13:50] ---
Did you find out about
the whereabouts
[13:51] ---
of the man with
the fishing rod?
[13:54] ---
No, not yet.
[13:57] ---
But…
[14:01] ---
SEVENTH HOKAGE
[14:03] ---
I found several markers that
place him in certain locations.
[14:07] ---
It seems he was
gathering intel here
[14:10] ---
even before the arrival of
Momoshiki and the others
[14:13] ---
Before Momoshiki and
his group came here?
[14:16] ---
So, he was working reconnaissance?
[14:20] ---
I don't know that for sure.
[14:22] ---
But it wouldn't surprise me if
he appears again in the near future.
[14:28] ---
Damn it. I guess that means
[14:31] ---
this unpredictable situation
is gonna continue…
[14:35] ---
Got it.
[14:36] ---
Thanks for the report.
[14:38] ---
No problem.
I'll continue investigating.
[14:45] ---
Oh, this is…
[14:48] ---
Are you going to promote
Sarada to chunin?
[14:50] ---
Huh?!
[14:51] ---
How'd you know?
[14:54] ---
You and Shikamaru,
two of the Leaf's top officials,
[14:58] ---
poring over genin photos
this late at night?
[15:00] ---
It's pretty obvious.
[15:02] ---
Well, you're right.
[15:04] ---
Be happy! It's been decided.
Sarada is our pick.
[15:10] ---
Huh?
[15:11] ---
Aren't you happy?
[15:14] ---
Well, it's the logical outcome.
However…
[15:22] ---
Shikamaru, don't you still have
something on your mind?
[15:25] ---
N-No. I was just thinking
that a lot of time
[15:28] ---
has passed since
the Chunin Exams.
[15:31] ---
And during that interim,
a pretty major incident occurred.
[15:34] ---
You mean the incident where…
[15:36] ---
…genin deserted the village?
[15:39] ---
Hey, how did you know?
[15:42] ---
I'm Sarada's father.
She's one of the participants.
[15:45] ---
Sakura told me all about it.
[15:48] ---
I see.
[15:50] ---
But what's that incident got to do
with promoting her to chunin?
[15:55] ---
Mainly, Shikamaru probably
wants to say that…
[15:59] ---
I'm gonna trust Mitsuki.
[16:00] ---
Right now, that's my will.
[16:07] ---
Let's take that snake to
Orochimaru's research lab.
[16:11] ---
We can probably get
more information there.
[16:15] ---
Until we find out what Mitsuki's thinking,
[16:19] ---
Are you okay with that?
[16:20] ---
You'll end up being pursued too.
[16:23] ---
You and Mitsuki aren't
the only members of Team 7!
[16:28] ---
Hey, Boruto…
It was a significant incident
instigated by the Hidden Stone.
[16:29] ---
Do you really think
we'll be able to get there?
It was a significant incident
instigated by the Hidden Stone.
[16:31] ---
Experiencing an incident that serious
[16:33] ---
It's not whether we'll be able to.
Experiencing an incident that serious
[16:34] ---
We have to!
is sure to have had
a huge impact on them.
[16:35] ---
Found them!
is sure to have had
a huge impact on them.
[16:37] ---
is sure to have had
a huge impact on them.
[16:40] ---
Exactly. And since we didn't take
that into consideration
[16:43] ---
when we made our choice…
[16:44] ---
I have my doubts if we should go
with Sarada as our pick.
[16:45] ---
You're not getting past us, Boruto!
I have my doubts if we should go
with Sarada as our pick.
[16:48] ---
Well, unlike you two…
[16:50] ---
My job takes me to straight
to the scene of an incident.
[16:53] ---
From my perspective,
I'd rather you send someone
[16:56] ---
Cha, damn it!
picked for skills in actual combat
than test scores.
[16:58] ---
picked for skills in actual combat
than test scores.
[16:59] ---
Hey c'mon, you make it sound
so simple, but…
[17:04] ---
I wasn't expecting such valuable advice
from someone in the field…
[17:05] ---
Don't you dare underestimate me!
I wasn't expecting such valuable advice
from someone in the field…
[17:06] ---
I wasn't expecting such valuable advice
from someone in the field…
[17:08] ---
Still, taking that into account…
[17:09] ---
Die!
Still, taking that into account…
[17:11] ---
Sarada has more than met and exceeded
the conditions to become a chunin.
[17:15] ---
You okay with this?
[17:17] ---
I heard that she had
her genin rank stripped.
[17:20] ---
Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!
[17:21] ---
That's true…
[17:23] ---
But Sarada managed to fight off
several formidable assailants.
[17:26] ---
And in resolving
the Hidden Stone incident,
[17:30] ---
the Tsuchikage herself requested
that she not be blamed.
[17:41] ---
Oh well, use your empty head
and think about it long and hard.
[17:44] ---
Huh? You're leaving already?
[17:47] ---
You're here,
so let us hear your thoughts!
[17:50] ---
An idea popped into your head,
didn't it?
[17:52] ---
It will probably be faster if I stay…
[17:55] ---
But I don't want to take away
from your job as the Hokage.
[17:59] ---
What did you say?
[18:01] ---
Even if you're not here, I can—
[18:03] ---
And he's gone.
[18:06] ---
Hey, so what's
this idea of yours, Naruto?
[18:08] ---
Huh? Well…
[18:10] ---
Boruto and the others went to
another village and returned safely, right?
[18:14] ---
Yeah, they did, but…
[18:22] ---
What's going on?!
[18:24] ---
From one angle,
[18:25] ---
what they all accomplished counts
as an S-rank mission.
[18:28] ---
And the fact that
they all came back safely,
[18:31] ---
speaks volumes about
Shikadai's strength.
[18:38] ---
Hold on a minute!
[18:40] ---
I have to see Mitsuki one more time
Only Team 10 was sent on the manhunt
to find Boruto's team.
[18:43] ---
and confirm things with him!
Only Team 10 was sent on the manhunt
to find Boruto's team.
[18:45] ---
I'm saying it's a dangerous situation
Shikamaru, that was your plan.
[18:48] ---
because you're rushing in
while you're frantic!
Yeah, because I thought
[18:51] ---
because you're rushing in
while you're frantic!
Shikadai's analysis of the incident
would be on a level equal to mine.
[18:54] ---
That's why I entrusted Shikadai
to act on his own.
[18:59] ---
The game board's changed.
[19:02] ---
Sorry, Dad.
[19:03] ---
And Shikadai felt something was
out of place with the incident,
[19:05] ---
and went with Boruto…
[19:07] ---
Everyone said during the debriefing,
[19:10] ---
that Shikadai took leadership,
[19:12] ---
That's why in order to
clear up this mystery…
and thanks to him,
everything worked out.
[19:15] ---
I'm gonna go with you, Boruto.
Yeah, I kinda thought that would happen.
[19:17] ---
Yeah, I kinda thought that would happen.
[19:20] ---
I knew they'd act without thinking.
[19:22] ---
And I thought it would be safer
with Shikadai around.
[19:25] ---
And back then, you could say that
[19:28] ---
the only ones who could move
around freely were genin.
[19:32] ---
And just as you predicted,
[19:35] ---
Shikadai got crucial intel
about the incident.
[19:37] ---
And immediately sent word
to the Leaf…to us.
[19:41] ---
And thanks to that, we were able
to take immediate action.
[19:46] ---
All right!
[19:48] ---
The village has been taken over!
[19:50] ---
I understand the situation.
[19:52] ---
Now listen, just lay low.
[19:55] ---
If you get captured again,
there's no guarantee you'll stay alive.
[19:58] ---
Naruto, what have
you been trying to say?
[20:00] ---
Dad, but I…
Naruto, what have
you been trying to say?
[20:02] ---
Dad, but I…
In other words,
you sent Shikadai to Boruto,
[20:03] ---
In other words,
you sent Shikadai to Boruto,
[20:05] ---
in your place…correct?
[20:08] ---
I've got to do what I can!
[20:11] ---
Wait, Shikadai!
[20:13] ---
"The knight that jumps far,
falls prey to a pawn," huh?
[20:18] ---
Dad, I'm sorry for acting so selfishly.
[20:23] ---
But I came here of my own will.
[20:28] ---
Because of our position,
we couldn't move around easily.
[20:32] ---
But Shikadai could act in your place.
[20:37] ---
He can stand in for the Hidden Leaf's
most brilliant intellect.
[20:41] ---
It's pretty remarkable,
wouldn't you say?
[20:43] ---
Naruto…
[20:46] ---
You're strong…stronger than us.
[20:50] ---
We just have to compensate
[20:52] ---
with another kind of strength
to make up the difference.
[20:55] ---
Another kind of strength?
[20:58] ---
The strength of the heart.
[21:00] ---
We're able to put our lives
in the hands of our friends…
[21:04] ---
Friends we trust with all of our heart.
[21:14] ---
Do you know why you were selected?
[21:18] ---
It's because…
[21:20] ---
a chunin must have
the ability to lead the team,
[21:22] ---
and discern battle situations
and make judgments.
[21:26] ---
And I can, right?
[21:30] ---
That alone, isn't the right answer.
[21:35] ---
It's also because you have
the most important quality
[21:38] ---
required of a chunin.
[21:39] ---
You care about your comrades.
[21:45] ---
Will you accept?
[21:51] ---
Yes, sir!
[23:27] ---
My first mission as a captain?
[23:29] ---
Your team's been assembled
in a rush,
[23:31] ---
but it will be
a piece of cake for you!
[23:34] ---
What does that mean?
[23:36] ---
This seems like
it's gonna be a drag.
[23:38] ---
Well, do your best,
new captain!
[23:41] ---
Next time on Boruto:
Naruto Next Generations:

"The Qualities of a Captain"
[23:47] ---
If it comes down to it,
I can manage it myself, right?
