**[00:05] ---**
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
**[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!
