    TOY KINGDOM
    
[00:08] ---
    It's these!
    They finally got more X Cards in!
[00:12] ---
    TOY KINGDOM
    
    Thank you very much for coming in!
[00:16] ---
    We did it!
[00:17] ---
    I finally got them!
[00:19] ---
    I cannot wait!
[00:20] ---
    Hurry, let's crack them open now!
[00:22] ---
    Yes, let's!
[00:23] ---
    I wonder what I'll get!
[00:25] ---
    EXTREME NINJA CARDS
    
    
[00:25] ---
    EXTREME NINJA CARDS
    
    I'm so excited!
[00:27] ---
    EXTREME NINJA CARDS
    
    
[00:29] ---
    What are those?
[00:31] ---
    Cards?
[00:32] ---
    Huh?
[00:33] ---
    Sarada?!
[00:35] ---
    These aren't just regular cards!
[00:37] ---
    These are X Cards!
[00:39] ---
    X Cards?
[00:41] ---
    Extreme Ninja Cards,
    a.k.a. X Cards!
[00:46] ---
    It's a card game based on
    famous shinobi in history.
[00:51] ---
    Everyone's hooked,
[00:52] ---
    and all the stores from the big ones
    to the small ones sell out instantly.
[00:57] ---
    The battling game itself
    is pretty fun too.
[01:00] ---
    It's an intense game of strategy
    that's really fun to play!
[01:05] ---
    You two are hooked too?
[01:08] ---
    Okay…
[01:09] ---
    Please let me get a rare card!
[01:14] ---
    Oh!
[01:15] ---
    SEVENTH HOKAGE
    NARUTO UZUMAKI
    
    
    
[01:16] ---
    SEVENTH HOKAGE
    NARUTO UZUMAKI
    
    
    Wow!
[01:17] ---
    SEVENTH HOKAGE
    NARUTO UZUMAKI
    
    It's a super special rare card
    of Lord Seventh!
[01:21] ---
    What the hell?
    Not my dad again?!
[01:24] ---
    I have so many of
    the same one!
[01:26] ---
    I don't wanna see my dad's face
    on a card too, ya know?
[01:30] ---
    You got the Seventh Hokage
    and you're bummed?
[01:32] ---
    You're so spoiled.
[01:34] ---
    Besides, the card I was hoping for…
[01:36] ---
    isn't this one!
[01:39] ---
    Using money earned from
    your missions to buy cards?
[01:43] ---
    Men are so immature.
[01:46] ---
    Huh?!
[01:48] ---
    Hey, Sarada!
[01:52] ---
    Hurry, let's go taste the new desserts
    that just came out!
[01:55] ---
    I'm coming!
[01:58] ---
    Wait for me!
[02:01] ---
    Women are the same too!
[03:35] ---
    X Cards Proxy War!
    
    
    
    
[03:39] ---
    What did you get, Shikadai?
[03:41] ---
    I got Lord Mizukage.
[03:43] ---
    Very nice!
[03:44] ---
    I got Mr. Kiba!
[03:47] ---
    What are you all up to?
[03:50] ---
    Oh, Shino Sensei!
[03:52] ---
    These are really popular right now.
    They're X Cards.
[03:54] ---
    Oh?
[03:55] ---
    So that's the X Card thing that
    everyone's talking about.
[03:57] ---
    It's popular at the Academy too.
[03:59] ---
    So, I know about them.
[04:02] ---
    Is there a card of me as well?
[04:04] ---
    Huh?
[04:06] ---
    Uh…
[04:07] ---
    Now that you mention it…
[04:08] ---
    I've never seen a card
    of Shino Sensei.
[04:10] ---
    Me neither.
[04:12] ---
    I see.
[04:13] ---
    I guess you have to be
    pretty famous to be on a card.
[04:17] ---
    I guess people like me, or Kiba…
[04:19] ---
    But Metal just got a Kiba card.
[04:23] ---
    What?!
[04:25] ---
    Yes!
[04:26] ---
    Oh…
[04:28] ---
    There are many shinobi.
[04:29] ---
    These things happen.
[04:31] ---
    Oh, look…
[04:32] ---
    AKAMARU
    
    
[04:32] ---
    AKAMARU
    
    Even Akamaru has a card!
[04:34] ---
    Did you say Akamaru?
[04:37] ---
    But there's no card of you,
    Shino Sensei.
[04:41] ---
    I've never heard anyone say
    they've seen one.
[04:43] ---
    Yes, same here.
[04:47] ---
    Well, it is what it is…
[04:55] ---
    It's probably really bothering him
    deep down inside.
[04:58] ---
    Pretending he doesn't care makes
    it even harder to watch, doesn't it?
[05:05] ---
    Shino Sensei is actually
    really strong.
[05:07] ---
    But is his presence so unnoticeable,
    even for a card?
[05:10] ---
    I kinda feel sorry for him.
[05:12] ---
    All right, I've decided!
[05:15] ---
    Decided what, Boruto?
[05:17] ---
    Let's do something to make
    Shino Sensei into a card!
[05:22] ---
    Huh?!
[05:24] ---
    Make him a card?
[05:26] ---
    How exactly do we do that?
[05:31] ---
    Don't you know which company
    makes X Cards?
[05:34] ---
    KAMINARIMON
    
[05:40] ---
    And so…
[05:41] ---
    please do something about this,
    ya' know!
[05:46] ---
    I understand the situation.
[05:49] ---
    Now then…
[05:53] ---
    So, Denki's dad's company
    makes the X Cards.
[05:57] ---
    Still… To make a direct appeal to
    the company president is kinda…
[06:01] ---
    Shino Aburame presently
    does not appear in X Cards.
[06:06] ---
    And…
[06:08] ---
    Here's the list for
    the second series.
[06:12] ---
    Oh, the list!
[06:14] ---
    Let's see here.
[06:16] ---
    Hmm…
[06:18] ---
    Shino Sensei's name isn't in
    the second series either.
[06:22] ---
    Oh…
[06:24] ---
    Oh! Please look!
[06:26] ---
    UDON (GENIN)
    ANKO MITARASHI
    KANKURO (GENIN)
    ATSUI UNDECIDED
    
    There's an open space right here.
[06:28] ---
    You're right!
[06:29] ---
    Ah, as you can see…
[06:31] ---
    The final person hasn't been picked yet.
[06:35] ---
    I respect each and every shinobi,
[06:38] ---
    that's why I'm having such
    a hard time deciding.
[06:47] ---
    Then we'd like you to put
    Shino Sensei's name there.
[06:52] ---
    Yes, he's definitely a candidate, but…
[06:55] ---
    Please!
[06:57] ---
    Sure, Shino Sensei doesn't stand out
    and he's long-winded, but…
[07:01] ---
    Hey! That's not a good endorsement!
[07:04] ---
    But he's a good teacher!
[07:07] ---
    At the Academy,
    he seriously interacted with us.
[07:11] ---
    Yes, I agree!
[07:13] ---
    Hmm…
[07:15] ---
    Since you're all so passionate
    about this…
[07:17] ---
    Just…a minute, please!
[07:23] ---
    Metal! What's up?
[07:28] ---
    Please excuse me.
[07:29] ---
    But for that final slot,
    instead of Shino Sensei…
[07:33] ---
    I'd like to nominate someone
    I really respect,
[07:35] ---
    my papa, Rock Lee!
[07:38] ---
    Huh?!
[07:40] ---
    Oh!
[07:42] ---
    That's right! Metal's dad also isn't…
[07:47] ---
    I know!
[07:48] ---
    I looked at the list,
[07:52] ---
    but his name wasn't on it!
[07:55] ---
    In order to make my father's greatness
    known through X Cards,
[07:58] ---
    as his son and student…
[08:01] ---
    I cannot back down here!
[08:05] ---
    The Handsome Blue Devil
    of the Hidden Leaf…
[08:08] ---
    Rock Lee, huh?
[08:11] ---
    You're right, he's also…
[08:14] ---
    We were almost settled here!
[08:16] ---
    Well, I can't back down either
    at this point!
[08:19] ---
    That spot belongs to Shino Sensei!
[08:21] ---
    No, my papa should take precedence!
[08:24] ---
    I'm saying it should be
    Shino Sensei!
[08:26] ---
    It has to be my papa!
[08:27] ---
    Hey, hold on, you two!
[08:29] ---
    What is it?
[08:32] ---
    I understand where
    you're both coming from.
[08:34] ---
    But for the Kaminarimon Company…
[08:38] ---
    shouldn't we put out the card
    that will sell the best?
[08:43] ---
    – Huh?
    – Huh?
[08:44] ---
    As a company,
[08:45] ---
    we have to offer products
    that our customers want.
[08:49] ---
    Right, Father?
[08:51] ---
    Yes, but—!
[08:53] ---
    These X Cards are kind of
    a hobby for me—
[08:56] ---
    Then all the more,
    we should pursue a profit!
[08:59] ---
    If the cards don't sell,
[09:00] ---
    it will make it harder
    to continue releasing them!
[09:07] ---
    Well said, my son.
[09:11] ---
    Besides, aren't you always saying
    that creating things
[09:14] ---
    that make people happy
    result in good products?
[09:18] ---
    Denki, you just got really intense
    all of a sudden.
[09:22] ---
    Gotta hand it to
    the future ninja-president.
[09:27] ---
    Anyway…
[09:29] ---
    To determine the final slot,
[09:31] ---
    how about choosing the one
    who's more in demand of the two?
[09:37] ---
    In demand? How do you decide
    something like that?
[09:43] ---
    Hmm…
[09:46] ---
    We'll go to the players.
[09:49] ---
    We'll take a survey among
    X Card customers and let them vote.
[09:54] ---
    Interesting.
[09:55] ---
    And whoever gets the most votes—
[09:57] ---
    Will become an X Card!
[10:00] ---
    Yes, I can promise that.
[10:02] ---
    All right!
[10:03] ---
    Sorry, but I don't intend
    to lose, Metal.
[10:06] ---
    I'm not gonna let Shino Sensei live
    the rest of his life in obscurity,
[10:09] ---
    even though he doesn't stand out.
[10:12] ---
    That's my line, Boruto!
[10:15] ---
    No longer will I allow my unnoticeable papa
    remain unnoticed!
[10:21] ---
    Aren't you guys kinda dissing them?
[10:24] ---
    I won't lose!
[10:25] ---
    I can't lose!
[10:36] ---
    BALLOT BOX
    
    
[10:37] ---
    BALLOT BOX
    
    So, this is the ballot box, huh?
[10:40] ---
    X CARDS SURVEY
    SHINO ABURAME
    ROCK LEE
    PLEASE CHOOSE ONE
    KAMINARIMON COMPANY
    
    Yeah. One's been placed at
    every store
[10:43] ---
    that carries X Cards.
[10:46] ---
    So? What's your plan to win
    Shino Sensei votes?
[10:50] ---
    I'm relying on your intellect
    for that, Shikadai.
[10:55] ---
    It's on me? What a drag.
[11:00] ---
    Don't you have any ideas?
[11:04] ---
    Well, it's not that I don't have any…
[11:08] ---
    OUR HERO SHINO ABURAME
    FOR AN X CARD
    
    Here you go!
[11:09] ---
    OUR HERO SHINO ABURAME
    FOR AN X CARD
    
    Here you go!
[11:11] ---
    OUR HERO SHINO ABURAME
    FOR AN X CARD
    
    Here you go!
[11:13] ---
    Come one, come all!
[11:16] ---
    Let me tell you the grueling battle story
    of Shino Aburame,
[11:19] ---
    the Leaf's little known,
    but strongest ninja!
[11:21] ---
    Here!
[11:22] ---
    What's this?
[11:24] ---
    Right in the nick of time,
[11:26] ---
    when the village was in danger
    of total destruction,
[11:29] ---
    Shino, despite being just a genin,
[11:31] ---
    used his Parasitic Insects and his intellect
    to pull off an amazing feat!
[11:35] ---
    – Wow!
    – I didn't know that.
[11:38] ---
    Oh!
[11:40] ---
    And after that… Um…Uh…
[11:45] ---
    Anyway, he continued to
    do many great deeds!
[11:48] ---
    Man, all of a sudden,
    the praise turned really vague.
[11:55] ---
    After that sell, a win's guaranteed.
[12:01] ---
    Hey, look at that!
[12:03] ---
    Whoa, that's amazing!
[12:12] ---
    – Wha—?!
    – Wha—?!
[12:13] ---
    Rock Lee?!
[12:15] ---
    – W-What's going on?!
    – It says The Handsome Blue Devil!
[12:18] ---
    Huh?!
[12:22] ---
    Seems using an advertising wrap on
    the Thunder Train is getting great reach.
[12:26] ---
    Metal! How did you manage that?
[12:29] ---
    It was me.
[12:31] ---
    Huh?!
[12:33] ---
    Denki?!
[12:35] ---
    That outfit, what's going on?
[12:37] ---
    Papa helped Denki train once,
[12:40] ---
    so he kindly agreed to help me.
[12:45] ---
    No fair!
[12:46] ---
    Besides, you're on
    the company's side, aren't you?!
[12:49] ---
    My dad is my dad.
    And I'm myself.
[12:53] ---
    It's also an opportunity to test
    an advertising plan I came up with.
[13:03] ---
    Now that's…
[13:04] ---
    the genius of persistence,
    Rock Lee!
[13:06] ---
    He fought the Kazekage to a tie,
    using only taijutsu…
[13:10] ---
    He is the Leaf's Handsome Blue Devil!
[13:14] ---
    Is there anyone more suitable to be
[13:17] ---
    the centerpiece of
    the second series?!
[13:22] ---
    The difference in our finances
    is just too big.
[13:24] ---
    We just can't complete.
[13:29] ---
    BALLOT BOX
    
[13:35] ---
    CANDY STORE MIKI
    
[13:38] ---
    TOY VILLAGE
    
[13:40] ---
    BALLOT BOX
    
[13:52] ---
    All right, let me announce
    the midpoint tally results.
[14:07] ---
    Okay, who will it be?
[14:16] ---
    It looks like Rock Lee's popularity
    is growing steadily.
[14:20] ---
    – Yes!
    – Yes!
[14:21] ---
    It's all thanks to you, Denki!
[14:23] ---
    Your performance was perfect too!
[14:27] ---
    On the other hand,
[14:28] ---
    Shino is being left in the dust.
[14:33] ---
    Seriously?
[14:34] ---
    It's gonna be real hard to catch up…
[14:38] ---
    A match is a match.
[14:39] ---
    The right to be on a card
    will be my papa's!
[14:44] ---
    At this rate,
    Shino Sensei won't get on an X Card,
[14:48] ---
    and he'll spend the rest
    of his life in obscurity!
[14:51] ---
    Boruto, isn't that kind of
    a terrible thing to say?
[14:58] ---
    So, to win, he just has
    to stand out, right?
[15:00] ---
    Huh? What are you gonna do?
[15:15] ---
    Just a few more days to go.
[15:17] ---
    At this rate, we'll win.
[15:19] ---
    Yup! But knowing Boruto,
    he's not going to give up.
[15:25] ---
    Nothing stands out more
    than wrap advertising on a train.
[15:30] ---
    I know, but…
[15:32] ---
    You are quite the worrier.
[15:36] ---
    Hmm?
[15:39] ---
    W-What's that?!
[15:42] ---
    It's Shino Sensei!
[15:44] ---
    N-No way!
[15:50] ---
    How's that?
[15:53] ---
    It's perfect!
[15:55] ---
    An Earth Style Stone Face…
    Shino Sensei's version!
[15:59] ---
    Nothing else is gonna
    stand out like this!
[16:02] ---
    Hey, did you bring
    what you promised?
[16:04] ---
    Huh?
[16:05] ---
    Oh…
[16:07] ---
    SEVENTH HOKAGE
    NARUTO UZUMAKI
    
    This, right?
[16:09] ---
    Oh!
[16:11] ---
    I finally got the super special
    rare card of Lord Seventh!
[16:15] ---
    It's perfect!
[16:18] ---
    I finally have you!
[16:21] ---
    Even an unwanted card
    can come in handy.
[16:24] ---
    I didn't believe you'd go this far…
[16:27] ---
    Boruto!
[16:28] ---
    – Hmm?
    – Huh?
[16:30] ---
    You think you're going
    to win with this?
[16:32] ---
    Sorry, Metal!
[16:34] ---
    We're turning the tide with this!
[16:36] ---
    I won't let you!
[16:40] ---
    Leaf Hurricane!
[16:44] ---
    Hey, what the hell are you going?!
[16:46] ---
    All I need to do is whittle it down
    into Papa's face!
[16:55] ---
    S-Seriously?!
[16:56] ---
    I want the Hidden Leaf to realize…
[16:58] ---
    No, I want the Five Villages
    to know Papa's greatness!
[17:01] ---
    And I cannot let this chance slip away!
[17:04] ---
    Like I'm gonna let you!
[17:05] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[17:09] ---
    Wind Style: Gale Palm!
[17:16] ---
    So that's how you want to play?
    You will not get in my way!
[17:22] ---
    That's my line!
[17:29] ---
    Any way you look at this,
    there's only trouble on the horizon.
[17:34] ---
    I'm out.
[17:36] ---
    Huh? Shikadai!
[17:39] ---
    This is my chance!
[17:40] ---
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[17:43] ---
    Yes!
[17:47] ---
    You're up against a different me today!
[17:50] ---
    Why you—!
[17:56] ---
    Papa?!
[17:57] ---
    Shino Sensei?!
[17:59] ---
    Damn it. I knew something was up!
[18:03] ---
    Stop this stupid battle, you two.
[18:13] ---
    I'm sorry, Papa.
[18:16] ---
    I just wanted you to be on
    an X Card, Shino Sensei…
[18:22] ---
    Listen, Boruto.
[18:24] ---
    You seem to be under
    the wrong impression.
[18:26] ---
    I don't desire to stand out
    in a way like that.
[18:29] ---
    Same here, Metal.
[18:31] ---
    I don't ever remember
    teaching you
[18:33] ---
    to work hard in order
    to be popular.
[18:37] ---
    – Shino Sensei!
    – Papa!
[18:41] ---
    You went overboard,
[18:44] ---
    but we're happy that you tried
    so hard on our behalf.
[18:47] ---
    The thought behind it is more
    than enough for us…
[18:52] ---
    …from our precious students.
[18:55] ---
    Huh?!
[19:01] ---
    That's a—!
[19:04] ---
    Help! Mom!
[19:07] ---
    It's a fire!
[19:08] ---
    This is terrible!
    We have to help them!
[19:11] ---
    No, we won't make it
    in time from here!
[19:14] ---
    Leave this to us.
[19:16] ---
    – Huh?!
    – Huh?!
[19:17] ---
    But how?!
[19:18] ---
    There's a way.
[19:20] ---
    The perfect solution.
[19:23] ---
    Leaf Whirlwind!
[19:39] ---
    Wow! Amazing!
[19:41] ---
    Thank you!
[19:46] ---
    They're both amazing!
[19:48] ---
    They are definitely
    outstanding shinobi!

    Thank you very much for coming in!

    EXTREME NINJA CARDS
    
[20:04] ---
    I was really looking forward to
    the release of the second series, but…
[20:07] ---
    We haven't heard anything
    from Denki since that day.
[20:11] ---
    Well, we just ended up
    causing a big fuss.
[20:15] ---
    And "somebody" chose to cut out…
[20:19] ---
    Let's forget about all of that,
    and just crack open our cards.
[20:26] ---
    Huh?
[20:28] ---
    What's the matter?
[20:28] ---
    Th-This is—!
[20:30] ---
    ROCK LEE
    
    Papa!
[20:32] ---
    ROCK LEE
    
    No kidding!
[20:34] ---
    I guess that means…
[20:37] ---
    Huh?
[20:38] ---
    SHINO ABURAME
    
    
[20:39] ---
    SHINO ABURAME
    
    There's a card of Shino Sensei too!
[20:42] ---
    Really?
[20:43] ---
    Both of them?
[20:45] ---
    What's the meaning of this?
[20:48] ---
    Actually, about that…
[20:50] ---
    Both of them skyrocketed
    in popularity at the very end.
[20:54] ---
    That's—!
[20:55] ---
    It's because of what they did back then.
[20:58] ---
    And so,
[20:59] ---
    my father decided he might
    as well change it to two slots.
[21:05] ---
    Oh! I'm so grateful!
[21:07] ---
    That was a really cool thing to do,
    Denki's dad…
[21:11] ---
    Are you guys buying more
    of those cards?
[21:15] ---
    The second series just came out.
[21:17] ---
    Oh…
[21:20] ---
    I wonder what other cards I got…
[21:23] ---
    Huh? Another Shino Sensei?
[21:26] ---
    Huh? It's another card of Papa?
[21:29] ---
    Shino Sensei again?
[21:31] ---
    Another Papa?
[21:32] ---
    Ah! I got multiples again!
[21:34] ---
    Isn't this going too far?!
[21:36] ---
    Aw, man!
[21:39] ---
    I don't need this many!
[21:43] ---
    Boys are so immature.
[21:46] ---
    Sarada, let's hurry and
[21:48] ---
    get the second round of new desserts
    that just came out!
[21:51] ---
    Okay!
[23:25] ---
    The Hokage's asked me to check up
    on how your mission's going.
[23:29] ---
    Hey, aren't you Sukea, the journalist?
[23:32] ---
    You're Houki Taketori, right?
[23:34] ---
    Anyway, you're wearing—
[23:36] ---
    Ever since I was a kid,
    I've been a big fan of Lord Sixth!
[23:39] ---
    I plan on becoming a ninja just like him!
[23:43] ---
    Next time on Boruto:
    Naruto Next Generations:
[23:46] ---
    "Team 25"
    
    
    
[23:48] ---
    But all we've been getting are
    just D-rank missions lately.
