[00:13] ---
    We're almost at the end of the Chunin Exam.
[00:16] ---
    We've finally made it this far.
[00:19] ---
    Aren't you nervous?
[00:20] ---
    No way!
[00:22] ---
    This time, I'm gonna become
    a chunin for sure, ya know.
[00:25] ---
    And I'll become a chunin just like you.
[00:34] ---
    Big Brother!
[00:37] ---
    Over here, over here! I'm over here!
[00:40] ---
    Big Brother!
[00:43] ---
    Himawari?
SIGN    1\fad(540,500)\pos(523,240)}Inojin vs. Houki*
[02:19] ---
    The day's come when we can
    finally use this arena!
[02:22] ---
    Momoshiki and his group
    destroyed it during the last exam.
[02:26] ---
    It was a rush job, but I'm glad
    they managed to repair it in time.
[02:30] ---
    This place is equipped with
    broadcasting equipment,
[02:33] ---
    so lots of people will be able to
    see their hard work!
[02:37] ---
    This chunin exam is exclusive
    to the Hidden Leaf Village.
[02:42] ---
    We won't be allowing any spectators inside.
[02:45] ---
    The incident with Kara just ended,
[02:47] ---
    so I had no intention
    of doing anything fancy.
[02:50] ---
    If you didn't take on
    all the annoying prep work,
[02:54] ---
    we wouldn't have gone all out like this.
[02:55] ---
    This is a rare opportunity!
[02:57] ---
    I wanted to make the exam
    environment as nice as possible!
[03:01] ---
    You have a point.
[03:02] ---
    I'm counting on you to referee as well!
[03:04] ---
    Just leave it to me!
[03:06] ---
    I hope things end without incident this time.
[03:08] ---
    Don't say such ominous things!
[03:11] ---
    If something happens,
[03:12] ---
    we don't have the budget
    to repair this place again.
[03:16] ---
    Lately, I've been practicing being
    a ninja with Eho and Yuina,
[03:20] ---
    the kids I became friends with
    at the academy trial session.
[03:25] ---
    This morning,
    we were searching the back alleys
[03:27] ---
    as a part of ninja training.
[03:43] ---
    Eho came across some sketchy people,
[03:49] ---
    and figured something shady was going on,
[03:51] ---
    so he started tracking them.
[03:55] ---
    And then Yuina said she was worried
    about Eho and followed him.
[04:00] ---
    What should I do, Big Brother?
[04:02] ---
    What do you think?
[04:03] ---
    I can't say for sure, based on that.
[04:08] ---
    Maybe I should talk to Daddy about this...
[04:12] ---
    Hmm...
[04:14] ---
    No, I'll go check things out for you.
[04:16] ---
    Really?!
[04:17] ---
    Yeah.
[04:19] ---
    Are you sure?
[04:20] ---
    I still have some time until the exam begins.
[04:23] ---
    This should be no problem, ya know.
[04:26] ---
    Thank you, Big Brother!
[04:36] ---
    Hey, Kawaki,
[04:37] ---
    want to go watch the Chunin Exam with me?
[04:40] ---
    Not really.
[04:42] ---
    I'm not that interested anyway.
[04:43] ---
    Don't be like that.
[04:45] ---
    Let's go cheer on Boruto and the others.
[04:47] ---
    I said I don't want to.
[04:49] ---
    Hey, come on...
[04:52] ---
    This round consists of full-contact battle.
[04:54] ---
    It's a good opportunity to see
    all sorts of ninjutsu
[04:57] ---
    and powerful shinobi in action.
[05:33] ---
    The final round of the exams
    is about to begin.
[05:35] ---
    As I explained the other day,
[05:37] ---
    this round will be a one-on-one battle
[05:39] ---
    in which we will be looking at
    your overall fighting abilities.
[05:43] ---
    There's only one condition to pass.
[05:46] ---
    You must win. That's all there is to it.
[05:49] ---
    I'm glad things are simple.
[05:51] ---
    This is a no-holds-barred,
    full-contact battle,
[05:53] ---
    and this time,
    you will even be allowed to use
[05:55] ---
    Scientific Ninja Tools.
[05:56] ---
    The fight will continue
[05:59] ---
    until one of you is knocked out or concedes.
[06:02] ---
    Also, I will stop the match
[06:04] ---
    if I determine things are getting dangerous.
[06:08] ---
    Excuse me...
[06:09] ---
    Boruto and Mitsuki aren't here yet.
    Could you wait for them a bit?
[06:15] ---
    What are those guys doing?
[06:17] ---
    Honestly, they're hopeless.
[06:19] ---
    At any rate, regarding that...
[06:24] ---
    This time, we'll be deciding
    who will be fighting
[06:26] ---
    by drawing names for each match.
[06:28] ---
    As long as you're present
    when your name comes up,
[06:30] ---
    you won't be disqualified.
[06:32] ---
    Thank goodness.
[06:34] ---
    But that means if their names
    are the first to come up,
[06:36] ---
    they'll be disqualified, correct?
[06:39] ---
    That's right.
[06:40] ---
    It can't be helped.
[06:42] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[06:44] ---
    All right, I'll announce the first match.
[06:47] ---
    The first match is between...
[06:49] ---
    Inojin Yamanaka...
[06:51] ---
    and Houki Taketori.
SIGN    INOJIN YAMANAKA VS. HOUKI TAKETORI
[06:56] ---
    The first match, huh?
[06:58] ---
    That's better than being forced to wait.
[07:01] ---
    The match will begin in 15 minutes.
[07:12] ---
    Eho! Yuina!
[07:14] ---
    Himawari!
[07:15] ---
    Be quiet! They'll find us!
[07:17] ---
    Sorry!
[07:18] ---
    Who are they?
[07:20] ---
    This is my big brother
    and his friend Mitsuki.
[07:23] ---
    Are you Eho, the kid who's
    pretending to be a ninja?
[07:27] ---
    I'm not pretending!
[07:28] ---
    I saw some sketchy people,
    so I'm following them!
[07:31] ---
    Damn it.
[07:33] ---
    You can't know people are sketchy
    just by looking at them.
[07:36] ---
    Boruto, look.
[07:38] ---
    What is it?
[07:40] ---
    What?
[07:43] ---
    Amado?
[07:45] ---
    What's he doing here?
[07:52] ---
    Boruto!
[07:54] ---
    You guys go on home!
[07:55] ---
    Big Brother!
[08:07] ---
    Amazing, that was so cool!
[08:16] ---
    Houki, huh?
[08:17] ---
    If I'm not mistaken,
    he's in the Anbu Black Ops.
[08:20] ---
    Does that mean he's a subordinate of Mr. Sai?
[08:24] ---
    In that case, shouldn't you
    ask him for some information?
[08:27] ---
    It's fine. I don't have to do that.
[08:30] ---
    In actual combat, you usually
    don't have data on your opponent.
[08:33] ---
    I'll win based on my abilities.
[08:35] ---
    That's true.
[08:37] ---
    You've gone through strict training
[08:38] ---
    and handled all sorts of missions up to now.
[08:40] ---
    If you show the results of all that,
[08:42] ---
    you'll totally win.
[08:43] ---
    We're all going to become
    chunin together, okay?
[08:47] ---
    Of course!
[08:52] ---
    Inojin, huh?
[08:53] ---
    He's Mr. Sai's son,
    but don't pull any punches.
[08:56] ---
    Houki would never do that.
[08:59] ---
    Two of Inojin's jutsu I need to be careful of
[09:01] ---
    are the Super Beast Scroll
    and the Mind Transfer Jutsu.
[09:04] ---
    They're flexible abilities.
[09:07] ---
    Be careful.
[09:08] ---
    I know that.
[09:10] ---
    And I'm sure that Inojin's
    improved quite a bit.
[09:12] ---
    But...
[09:14] ---
    I'll win this.
[09:21] ---
    What are you going to do?
[09:22] ---
    I'm going to save Amado.
[09:24] ---
    I don't know what the situation is,
[09:26] ---
    but it's clear that he was being threatened.
[09:29] ---
    Understood.
[09:30] ---
    Anyway, let's get into a nearby car.
[09:46] ---
    You can do this, Inojin!
[09:50] ---
    What are Boruto and Mitsuki doing?!
[09:52] ---
    Just get here quick!
[10:11] ---
    Let the first match...
[10:13] ---
    begin!
[10:14] ---
    Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll!
[10:23] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[10:26] ---
    You're not getting away!
[10:30] ---
    Now!
[10:33] ---
    He's good.
[10:34] ---
    Go get him!
[10:46] ---
    Earth Style: Toujinbo!
[10:58] ---
    You're kidding, right?!
[11:01] ---
    What's with that Earth Style?!
[11:07] ---
    Is he...
[11:09] ---
    trying to keep me from
    pinpointing his location?
[11:13] ---
    The stage has been set.
[11:14] ---
    Do it, Houki!
[11:15] ---
    It's time for your counterattack!
[11:17] ---
    Where are you?!
[11:23] ---
    Houki!
[11:34] ---
    Which way should I go?!
[11:36] ---
    This is like a maze.
[11:53] ---
    What's Houki doing?
[11:56] ---
    Did he get lost in his own maze?
[11:58] ---
    No, that's not it.
[12:01] ---
    Houki has the ability to instantly
    recall anything he's seen once.
[12:06] ---
    He's memorizing the terrain
    as he's running around.
[12:09] ---
    Okay!
[12:10] ---
    Damn it! I can't find him!
[12:21] ---
    Why you—!
[12:22] ---
    You're not getting away!
[12:30] ---
    Damn it!
[12:31] ---
    This is bad.
[12:33] ---
    Houki's totally got him where he wants.
[12:34] ---
    Was he always that strong?!
[12:37] ---
    Houki and his teammates
    desperately worked their way up
[12:39] ---
    from the very bottom.
[12:43] ---
    The ANBU Black Ops mainly
    engages in intelligence work.
[12:46] ---
    Keen judgement, problem solving,
    and combat abilities
[12:49] ---
    are all requirements.
[12:53] ---
    But our missions are
    fundamentally top-secret.
[12:55] ---
    In other words, we're rarely
    acknowledged by others.
[12:59] ---
    But Mr. Kakashi was able to
    become the Sixth Hokage,
[13:02] ---
    even though he used to be
    in the ANBU Black Ops.
[13:04] ---
    So, I can too...
[13:07] ---
    Houki is strong.
[13:09] ---
    What will you do, Inojin?
[13:24] ---
    Houki's attacking me from my blind spots.
[13:29] ---
    He's totally figured out
    the layout of this maze.
[13:32] ---
    I can't do anything similar...
[13:34] ---
    In that case—!
[13:41] ---
    Found you!
[13:45] ---
    I figured you'd do that.
[13:47] ---
    Earth Style: Toujinbo!
[13:55] ---
    What—?!
[14:03] ---
    – Inojin!
    – Inojin!
[14:04] ---
    Did that do it?!
[14:05] ---
    Super Beast Scroll!
[14:20] ---
    Damn it!
[14:33] ---
    He quickly used the Super
    Beast Scroll as a distraction
[14:35] ---
    and hid himself.
[14:37] ---
    Not bad.
[14:45] ---
    I let my guard down.
[14:47] ---
    He shouldn't have gone far.
[14:50] ---
    Where is he hiding?
[14:56] ---
    I used too much chakra at the beginning...
[14:59] ---
    It'll be difficult to use
    the Super Beast Scroll to attack
[15:02] ---
    with the amount of chakra I have left.
SIGN    YAMANAKA FLOWERS
[15:16] ---
    Remaining hidden will only
    draw out this match pointlessly.
[15:20] ---
    If I do that, my injuries
    leave me at a disadvantage...
[15:24] ---
    In order to turn this situation
    around and end this,
[15:30] ---
    my only option is to use
    the Mind Transfer Jutsu!
[15:32] ---
    Inojin!
[15:34] ---
    I bet you barely have any chakra left.
[15:37] ---
    Why don't you concede?
[15:39] ---
    I'm not the Houki Taketori you knew before.
[15:42] ---
    Your jutsu won't be able to defeat me.
[15:47] ---
    He's not reacting to my provocations.
[15:49] ---
    He's surprisingly level-headed.
[15:53] ---
    Gotta just let it go,
    and bear with it right now.
[15:55] ---
    Judging from his voice,
    Houki should be this way...
[16:00] ---
    In order to ensure the Mind
    Transfer Jutsu is successful,
[16:03] ---
    I need to have Houki
    directly in front of me...
[16:06] ---
    Inojin's injuries leave him at a disadvantage
[16:08] ---
    in an extended battle.
[16:09] ---
    He's going to try to end this.
[16:12] ---
    Which means,
    he'll use the Mind Transfer Jutsu.
[16:17] ---
    That jutsu is bad news.
[16:18] ---
    If he gets in a direct hit...
[16:21] ---
    it's over for me.
[16:23] ---
    I wonder which one of them will win...
[16:25] ---
    It's totally obvious.
[16:33] ---
    It's the one who doesn't give up.
[16:36] ---
    In order to avoid the Mind Transfer Jutsu,
[16:38] ---
    I need to move outside of
    the jutsu's range of effect.
[16:43] ---
    Where are you? Where are you, Inojin?
[16:47] ---
    That's...
[16:49] ---
    ...the Super Beast Scroll...
[16:53] ---
    I found you!
[17:10] ---
    I figured that's what you would do!
[17:11] ---
    Mind Transfer Jutsu!
[17:15] ---
    What—?
[17:27] ---
    He did it!
[17:28] ---
    Yay!
[17:29] ---
    All right!
[17:30] ---
    Wow! Inojin's pretty impressive, ya know!
[17:35] ---
    I was sure you would figure out...
[17:39] ---
    where I was hiding, based on
    the splatters off of my brush.
[17:43] ---
    And that you'd attack me from my blind spot
[17:46] ---
    in order to avoid the Mind Transfer Jutsu.
[17:52] ---
    You moved just the way I expected you to.
[17:55] ---
    Once I take control of your body
    and make you concede...
[18:01] ---
    I'll win.
[18:10] ---
    What?
[18:47] ---
    That was close.
[18:48] ---
    If you'd taken over my body right away...
[18:51] ---
    I would have lost.
[18:54] ---
    The winner is Houki Taketori!
[18:57] ---
    – He did it!
    – He did it!
[18:58] ---
    Inojin!
[19:00] ---
    Are you all right?!
[19:01] ---
    Shikadai...
[19:03] ---
    Chocho...
[19:05] ---
    Thank goodness!
[19:07] ---
    What happened?
[19:11] ---
    What was that?!
[19:12] ---
    It's a jutsu that blocks out mental attacks.
[19:15] ---
    If a member of the
    ANBU Black Ops is captured,
[19:17] ---
    the enemy might peer into their mind.
[19:20] ---
    And so I've trained Houki
    and the others to resist that.
[19:25] ---
    What? Isn't that some pretty
    high-level training?
[19:29] ---
    That's not something
    you have genin do at their level!
[19:31] ---
    Is it really that difficult?
[19:33] ---
    Of course it is.
[19:34] ---
    At worst, it could destroy your mind.
[19:37] ---
    Mr. Sai hands out outrageous
    assignments without hesitation.
[19:41] ---
    Because of that, we've been through
    some pretty horrible stuff.
[19:44] ---
    It's amazing we're still alive.
[19:46] ---
    It's nothing to laugh about, though.
[19:50] ---
    Mr. Sai, thank you very much.
[19:53] ---
    Thanks to you,
[19:54] ---
    I was able to become a chunin.
[19:57] ---
    Well done, Houki.
[19:59] ---
    You were very close, Inojin.
[20:02] ---
    Dad...
[20:05] ---
    Damn it, you should train
    your own son better.
[20:09] ---
    I'm sorry!
[20:10] ---
    Man!
[20:13] ---
    Inojin, because you were so strong,
[20:16] ---
    I was able to overcome my limits
    and give it my all.
[20:21] ---
    Thank you.
[20:25] ---
    I'll let you have this win today,
    but I'm not losing next time.
[20:34] ---
    Hey, that was a good match, you two!
[20:38] ---
    You did well,
[20:40] ---
    Inojin.
[20:47] ---
    Once the battle arena is cleared,
[20:50] ---
    we'll start the draw for the second match!
[20:59] ---
    We'll begin the draw for the second match.
[21:08] ---
    The second match is between...

    Iwabe Yuino...
[21:11] ---
    and Wasabi Izuno!

[21:18] ---
    You're not gonna make it...
[21:20] ---
    Hurry up and just get here,
    Boruto and Mitsuki!
[21:27] ---
    Let's go!
[21:34] ---
    They're not here?!
[21:36] ---
    Where did they go?!
[21:37] ---
    No way, did they jump off
    somewhere along the way?
[21:41] ---
    What is going on here?
[23:26] ---
    I'm gonna take you down and become Hokage!
[23:29] ---
    The Hokage, huh? You must have it easy, huh?
[23:33] ---
    What's wrong? You're low-energy today.
[23:35] ---
    It's not like you!
[23:36] ---
    You wouldn't understand.
[23:39] ---
    I want to be an amazing shinobi
    as well, but...
