[00:20] ---
    I'm gonna defeat Wasabi
    and become the Hokage!
[00:26] ---
    I believe you need to become
    a chunin first...
[00:29] ---
    If I become a chunin now,
[00:31] ---
    I'm pretty much guaranteed
    to become the Hokage!
[00:34] ---
    Yeah!
[00:36] ---
    I'll show 'em!
[00:36] ---
    He says all of that, but he's
    just trying to hype himself up.
[00:38] ---
    All right!
[00:39] ---
    Let's just leave it at that and support him!
[00:40] ---
    Yeah!
[00:42] ---
    Yes, all right.
[00:43] ---
    I'm gonna...
[00:45] ---
    become the Hokage!
[00:48] ---
    Iwabe's so predictable.
[00:52] ---
    Man, it must be nice to be so carefree.
[00:57] ---
    I thought you'd be conducting
    yourself more like him.
[01:01] ---
    But actually, you're quiet...
[01:02] ---
    Yeah.
[01:04] ---
    Normally, I'd expect you
    to say something like,
[01:07] ---
    "I'm totally gonna win!"
[01:09] ---
    What? Oh... yeah, well...
[01:17] ---
    Wasabi!
[01:19] ---
    There you are!
[01:20] ---
    Hey!
[01:22] ---
    Mom, Dad!
[01:25] ---
    What are you doing here?!
[01:27] ---
    We came to cheer you on, of course!
[01:29] ---
    Since you've come this far,
    you're practically a chunin!
[01:33] ---
    You're getting ahead of yourselves!
[01:36] ---
    My match hasn't even started yet!
[01:38] ---
    – Hurray on becoming a chunin!
    – Hurray on becoming a chunin!
[01:41] ---
    – Hurray! Hurray!
    – Hurray! Hurray!
[01:50] ---
    Grandmother?!
[01:52] ---
    Nothing pleases me more than
    having you represent our clan!
[01:59] ---
    Hurray!

[03:39] ---
    Wasabi. You did well, getting this far.
[03:44] ---
    If you become a chunin at your age,
    it will be a great accomplishment
[03:46] ---
    —a first for our clan.
[03:49] ---
    As the head of the Izuno Clan,
    I have high hopes for you.
[03:53] ---
    You're making such
    a big deal out of everything.
[03:56] ---
    I'm sure you'll become a chunin,
    and then a jonin!
[03:58] ---
    No, you could even become
    the Hokage someday!
[04:02] ---
    That's right!
    You're the star of the Izuno Clan!
[04:05] ---
    I'm sure that you'll become a shinobi
[04:06] ---
    recognized by everyone in the world!
[04:07] ---
    That's right! This will be easy for you!
[04:14] ---
    You think so?
[04:15] ---
    Do your best!
[04:17] ---
    As your father said,
[04:19] ---
    I'm sure you'll be able to become
    even the Hokage, Wasabi.
[04:22] ---
    Oh, yes... I almost forgot!
[04:25] ---
    You left this at home.
[04:32] ---
    This is the legendary cat
[04:34] ---
    that has been handed down
    for generations in the Izuno Clan...
[04:36] ---
    It's the jutsu that allows you
    to become possessed
[04:39] ---
    by the monster cat.
[04:40] ---
    I'm sure that you'll
    be able to use it, Wasabi!
[04:44] ---
    You have the potential to become
    the Hokage, after all.
[04:49] ---
    Like I said, I'm not so sure about that...
[04:51] ---
    That's exactly right!
[04:53] ---
    Well said, Grandmother!
[04:57] ---
    A-Anyway, my match is about to begin.
[05:01] ---
    Could you all go back to your seats?
[05:04] ---
    All right!
[05:09] ---
    Well then, future Hokage!
[05:14] ---
    Wasabi?!
[05:15] ---
    Are you all right?!
[05:17] ---
    This jutsu has got to be something
    Grandmother dreamed up.
[05:22] ---
    But still... they have such
    high hopes for me.
[05:26] ---
    I don't know what to do.
[05:29] ---
    It seems like your family
[05:31] ---
    has decided that you're going to
    become the Hokage...
[05:36] ---
    Is it that unusual to become
    a chunin at your age?
[05:40] ---
    Yeah...
[05:41] ---
    In the Izuno Clan,
[05:43] ---
    everyone just barely makes it to
    chunin after becoming an adult.
[05:48] ---
    I'm sure there are some amazing people
[05:50] ---
    who have become jonin
    from then on, correct?
[05:53] ---
    I doubt that you're the only special one.
[05:58] ---
    I've never met a jonin from the Izuno Clan.
[06:02] ---
    Is that true?!
[06:04] ---
    Well, my family is kinda similar in that way.
[06:08] ---
    It must be tough having to deal
    with such high expectations.
[06:13] ---
    That's why...
[06:15] ---
    they've been like that
[06:16] ---
    ever since I made it to
    the final round of the exam.
[06:19] ---
    They're going overboard and
    keep saying that I'm going to
[06:21] ---
    become the Hokage.
[06:24] ---
    Of course, I want to meet their expectations
[06:27] ---
    and become an amazing shinobi.
[06:29] ---
    But still, becoming the Hokage
[06:32] ---
    is on a completely different level, right?
[06:34] ---
    You're right...
[06:37] ---
    Anyway, the match is about to begin.
[06:39] ---
    You must find a way to focus on the match!
[06:46] ---
    The second match of the final round
    is about to begin.
SIGN    WASABI IZUNO VS. IWABE YUINO
[06:59] ---
    I never expected those two would come up.
[07:01] ---
    Yeah.
[07:03] ---
    Yeah. They're all maturing.
[07:05] ---
    I wonder what kind of match
    they have in store for us?
SIGN    WASABI IZUNO VS. IWABE YUINO
[07:20] ---
    Let the second round begin!
[07:25] ---
    All right! I'm going to win this match!
[07:30] ---
    Yeah! Go, Wasabi!
[07:34] ---
    This is the first step in
    becoming the Hokage...
[07:36] ---
    The Hokage, huh?
[07:38] ---
    Must be nice having it so easy, huh?
[07:42] ---
    Hey, Wasabi!
[07:43] ---
    You're low-energy today.
[07:45] ---
    Did something happen?
[07:47] ---
    It's something you wouldn't get.
[07:51] ---
    Oh, is that so?
[07:53] ---
    In that case, I'll take this win!

[08:26] ---
    So, the matches have started?
[08:32] ---
    What, Shinki?!
[08:34] ---
    You startled me.
[08:35] ---
    What are you doing here?
[08:38] ---
    My father told us to come and observe.
[08:41] ---
    Hey. Long time no see.
[08:44] ---
    Araya and Yodo too?
[08:46] ---
    The three of you are already chunin, right?
[08:49] ---
    It's been a while since that happened.
[08:51] ---
    You guys are just slow.
[08:56] ---
    But today, you'll be deciding
    who'll be chunin, right?
[08:59] ---
    So, we came to do a bit of recon.
[09:02] ---
    Well, you're just curious about
    Boruto, aren't you, Shinki?
[09:08] ---
    Well, I wish you both the best of luck.
[09:23] ---
    Meow, meow, meow, meow!
[09:25] ---
    That's the spirit, Wasabi!
[09:27] ---
    You're going to become the Hokage soon!
[09:31] ---
    What the heck was that?
[09:32] ---
    Are they your parents?
[09:36] ---
    Your goal is to become the Hokage too?!
[09:38] ---
    Well, I'm not gonna let you
    take that seat from under me!
[09:41] ---
    Hey, you're talking way too loudly!
[09:43] ---
    My parents will hear you!
[09:46] ---
    What's going on?
[09:47] ---
    You've been acting pretty vague
    and sketchy about things...
[09:49] ---
    Who cares if they hear me?
[09:51] ---
    Becoming the Hokage isn't my goal.
[09:54] ---
    I do want to become
    an amazing shinobi though...
[09:56] ---
    But your parents are saying that
    you're going to become the Hokage!
[09:59] ---
    They just decided that on their own!
[10:02] ---
    I have no feelings about that whatsoever!
[10:05] ---
    I get it.
[10:07] ---
    Your goal of wanting to become the Hokage's
[10:09] ---
    starting to weigh on you!
[10:10] ---
    That's why you can't get amped up!
[10:12] ---
    That's good news for me!
[10:14] ---
    Like I told you, that's not my goal!
[10:19] ---
    I just hate it when carefree idiots
    like you can't get what I'm saying!
[10:22] ---
    What did you say?
[10:23] ---
    You're the one who's scared of
    becoming the Hokage.
[10:27] ---
    You just don't get it, do you?!
[10:29] ---
    I said that's not my goal!
[10:33] ---
    The hell did you say?!
[10:34] ---
    Don't assume that all shinobi
    want to become the Hokage!
[10:38] ---
    A shinobi can't get any more
    amazing than the Hokage!
[10:41] ---
    What else would anyone want to be?
[10:43] ---
    There are lots of amazing shinobi
    who aren't Hokage!
[10:47] ---
    Don't talk as if the Hokage
    is the only thing to aim for!
[10:51] ---
    You bastard!
[10:52] ---
    Hurry up and get your hand off of me!
[10:56] ---
    Do it yourself, with your own strength!
[10:58] ---
    I'm sure it's impossible
    for a coward like you.
[11:01] ---
    Huh?
[11:02] ---
    You've just been assuming
    all this time that I'm a coward...
[11:06] ---
    Like I said,
    I'm not a carefree idiot like you!
[11:09] ---
    Hey, you two!
[11:11] ---
    You're in the middle of a match.
    Just let it go and...
[11:14] ---
    You're an idiot who can't see reality.
[11:18] ---
    Do you really think
    you can become the Hokage?
[11:20] ---
    Huh? What do you mean by that?!
[11:23] ---
    I'm telling you to stop dreaming!
[11:26] ---
    That's just a fantasy...
[11:29] ---
    There's no way that can come true!
[11:31] ---
    What did you say?!
    I can dream about whatever I want!
[11:35] ---
    You have no business telling me what to do!
[11:37] ---
    Shut up!
[11:38] ---
    We don't come from great families!
[11:40] ---
    Ordinary shinobi like us don't have
    the potential to become the Hokage!
[11:45] ---
    Oh!
[11:47] ---
    Huh?
[11:49] ---
    What are you doing?
[11:50] ---
    Oh, nothing.
[11:54] ---
    Hey, bastard! Are you listening?!
[12:02] ---
    Hey, you dropped something.
[12:04] ---
    Don't worry about it...
[12:06] ---
    Let's continue the match...

[12:18] ---
    What's this scroll?
[12:22] ---
    It's supposedly a legendary jutsu
[12:23] ---
    that's been handed down for
    generations within the Izuno Clan.
[12:28] ---
    But it's just a questionable story.
[12:30] ---
    It's probably just something
    my grandmother dreamed up.
[12:34] ---
    The Izuno Clan has a legendary jutsu
[12:36] ---
    that's been handed down for generations.
[12:39] ---
    Oh? What kind of jutsu is it?!
[12:41] ---
    It's a jutsu that allows you
    to be possessed by a giant cat

[12:45] ---
    that's as large as a tree!
[12:48] ---
    Our family has an amazing jutsu like that?!
[12:50] ---
    Awesome!
[12:52] ---
    It absolutely protects whoever it possesses.
[12:55] ---
    It's quite an amazing jutsu!
[12:58] ---
    I wanna try it!
[13:06] ---
    That's right. The legendary cat
[13:08] ---
    was as large as a house...
[13:11] ---
    Huh?
[13:12] ---
    Didn't you say it was
    as large as a tree before?

[13:19] ---
    Yes, that legendary cat...
[13:22] ---
    was as large as that mountain!
[13:26] ---
    What?
[13:27] ---
    I-I see...
[13:32] ---
    Well, that's the story.
[13:34] ---
    And besides, even if such a jutsu did exist,
[13:38] ---
    I could never use it.
[13:40] ---
    Even if I gave it my all,
[13:41] ---
    there's a limit to what I can do.
[13:48] ---
    True. It would be impossible.
[13:50] ---
    You could never do that.
[13:52] ---
    You're so scared of people
    having expectations
[13:54] ---
    that you can't even dream big.
[13:58] ---
    I feel sorry for your grandma
[13:59] ---
    for having such high hopes in you!
[14:06] ---
    You bastard...
[14:07] ---
    In that case, why don't we do this?
[14:09] ---
    Huh?
[14:11] ---
    You'll believe it if a ridiculously large cat
[14:13] ---
    as big as a mountain
    appears before you, right?
[14:17] ---
    What are you saying all of a sudden?
[14:20] ---
    If one appears before you...
[14:22] ---
    it means that it's all right
    to chase after your dreams,
[14:24] ---
    no matter how silly they are, right?
[14:29] ---
    I'll show you a cat
    that's as big as a mountain!
[14:44] ---
    What is he doing?
[14:49] ---
    What is that?!
[15:05] ---
    That's...
[15:13] ---
    Don't decide something is impossible...
[15:17] ---
    without even trying!
[15:20] ---
    I tried to! Many times!
SIGN    TRANSFORM
[15:24] ---
    But no one's ever done it successfully!
[15:28] ---
    It's just something
    my grandmother dreamed up.
[15:33] ---
    And that's why you're saying
    you can't do it?
[15:35] ---
    And that's why you're telling me
    I shouldn't dream either?
[15:40] ---
    That's exactly why you can't use it.
[15:42] ---
    It's because you don't believe!
[15:44] ---
    So, of course it's impossible!
[15:56] ---
    Stop! You're wasting your chakra!
[15:59] ---
    It doesn't matter who your parents
    are in order to be the Hokage.
[16:03] ---
    It matters who you are
    as an individual, right?
[16:05] ---
    I'm sure people who don't work hard,
[16:07] ---
    don't become the Hokage!
[16:10] ---
    And that's why, no matter what anyone says...
[16:13] ---
    I won't abandon my dream!
[16:25] ---
    No matter how silly it is,
[16:27] ---
    without a dream, I can't move forward!
[16:30] ---
    The same goes for you!
[16:32] ---
    What?
[16:50] ---
    What are they doing?
[16:56] ---
    What is this?!
SIGN    TRANSFORM
[17:02] ---
    What do you think?
[17:03] ---
    Even if it's something silly,
    you can still do amazing things.
[17:17] ---
    Are you so surprised...
    that you can't... say anything?
[17:38] ---
    Iwabe!
SIGN    TRANSFORM
[17:49] ---
    Yes, that legendary cat
    was as large as that mountain.

[17:55] ---
    Without a dream... I can't move forward!

    Cat God Possession!
    Monster Cat Beckoning Jutsu!
[18:17] ---
    I'm also...
[18:19] ---
    I'm also going to become

    That's definitely the legendary—!

    What?!

    Hold on a second!
[19:37] ---
    Iwabe can still fight, can't he?!
[19:39] ---
    Oh, no!
[19:40] ---
    From the looks of it, that's impossible.
[19:43] ---
    He made that giant structure.
[19:46] ---
    He won't be able to stand for a while.
[19:49] ---
    Thank goodness!
[19:50] ---
    Wasabi won!
[19:52] ---
    W-Well...
[19:54] ---
    It was a unique battle,
    but the results are what matters...
[19:58] ---
    I suppose.
[19:59] ---
    This isn't right!
    You've got to be kidding me!
[20:02] ---
    You're going to become the Hokage, right?!
[20:04] ---
    Are you giving up on
    your dream here, of all places?
[20:07] ---
    I-It's impossible...
[20:09] ---
    Huh?!
[20:10] ---
    How can you not chase after your dream?!
[20:13] ---
    Hurry up and fight me!
[20:15] ---
    I-I won't give up on my dream...
    but... I can't... right now...
[20:21] ---
    Hey, wake up!
[20:23] ---
    I don't want to win like this!
[20:26] ---
    Wake up! Hey!
[20:28] ---
    Man, what a crazy thing to do during a match!
[20:33] ---
    They remind me of how
    you and Kiba used to be.
[20:37] ---
    Y-You think so?
[20:47] ---
    Did the guys who took Amado
    really get off here?
[20:51] ---
    This would be the only place
    where the train could slow down.
[21:02] ---
    I've got it.
[21:03] ---
    Looks like Amado is in that direction.
[21:05] ---
    All right, let's go!
[21:16] ---
    We'll now pull the participants
    of the next match!
[21:23] ---
    Oh, man!
[21:25] ---
    Why aren't Boruto and Mitsuki here yet?!
[21:28] ---
    Perhaps they got caught up in something.
[21:31] ---
    Though I doubt it.
[21:33] ---
    The third match is between
    Sarada Uchiha and Cho-Cho Akimichi!
[21:37] ---
    What?!
[21:38] ---
    What?!
SIGN    SARADA UCHIHA CHO-CHO AKIMICHI
[21:48] ---
    No way!
[21:49] ---
    I didn't think I'd end up fighting Cho-Cho!
[23:26] ---
    To think we'd end up fighting each other!
[23:29] ---
    You're right.
[23:30] ---
    Even if you're my opponent,
    I'm not gonna pull any punches!
[23:33] ---
    Because I'm gonna become a chunin!
[23:35] ---
    It's not that I don't like it
    when you say things like that...
[23:38] ---
    But, I'm gonna go all-out too.
[23:40] ---
