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!
**[19:59] ---**
TOY KINGDOM
**[20:00] ---**
TOY KINGDOM
Thank you very much for coming in!
**[20:03] ---**
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.
**[23:52] ---**
