SIGN    SARADA UCHIHA VS. CHO-CHO AKIMICHI
[00:08] ---
    We'll start the third match
    after a 15-minute break.
[00:14] ---
    The third match, huh?
[00:16] ---
    I thought the previous matches
    were pretty good,
[00:18] ---
    but this one looks like
    it's gonna be a good one as well.
[00:20] ---
    Agreed.
[00:21] ---
    That said, I wonder just how serious
[00:25] ---
    Cho-Cho can get against her best friend.
[00:28] ---
    I'm looking forward to seeing
    how much they've grown, ya know.
[00:43] ---
    Inojin?!
[00:44] ---
    What are you doing here, in the dark?!
[00:48] ---
    Nothing. It's just... as time passes,
[00:50] ---
    reality's slowly starting to set in.
[00:54] ---
    Hey, you guys!
[00:57] ---
    This is ridiculous!
[00:59] ---
    Why are you in such a rush?
[01:01] ---
    My opponent's Sarada!
[01:05] ---
    This is seriously unbelievable!
[01:08] ---
    Uh, what? Inojin?
[01:09] ---
    What's the matter?
[01:12] ---
    Hey, don't forget our promise.
[01:16] ---
    Your promise?
[01:17] ---
    What are you talking about?
[01:23] ---
    Shikadai, you're not wearing your vest,
[01:25] ---
    even though you're a chunin...
[01:28] ---
    Is that because
[01:29] ---
    you don't want to hurt our feelings?
[01:32] ---
    Huh? It's nothing like that.
[01:35] ---
    I just feel like it doesn't look good on—
[01:36] ---
    That's why Cho-Cho and I
    made a promise that we'd win
[01:39] ---
    and wear our chunin vests together.
[01:45] ---
    Uh-huh.
[01:46] ---
    What's up... with that?
[01:50] ---
    Go out there and win, Cho-Cho!
[01:52] ---
    'Course!
[01:55] ---
    All right!
[01:57] ---
    I'm heading out!
[01:59] ---
    Win for me too, you got that?!
[02:01] ---
    Will do!
[02:05] ---
    My mind is made up and
    I'm totally prepared for this!

[03:42] ---
    All right!
[03:43] ---
    Sarada, will you be all right?
[03:44] ---
    Huh?
[03:46] ---
    Cho-Cho's your best friend!
[03:48] ---
    That's going to be tough, right?
[03:50] ---
    Those things have nothing
    to do with each other.
[03:52] ---
    I can't afford to go easy on her!
[03:55] ---
    You're prepared to do this, aren't you?
[03:57] ---
    Of course I am!
[03:59] ---
    Good luck with your match!
[04:01] ---
    Thanks!
[04:27] ---
    Shinki? Where are you going?
[04:29] ---
    Cho-Cho, the girl you fought in
    the previous exam is in this match.
[04:33] ---
    Yeah, I'll be back in a few.
[04:37] ---
    I thought he was interested in this match...
[04:39] ---
    Yeah...
[04:49] ---
    Did you want something from me?
[04:52] ---
    But first, who the hell are you anyway?
[04:54] ---
    I'm Shinki, a Hidden Sand Shinobi.
[04:57] ---
    Why have you been staring
    at me all this time?
[05:03] ---
    I think you should stay
    and watch the next match.
[05:05] ---
    Huh? What are you saying?
[05:07] ---
    You've got no business telling me what to do.
[05:10] ---
    Don't underestimate the Chunin Exams.
[05:14] ---
    Huh?
[05:15] ---
    They've got nothing to do with me.
[05:19] ---
    You bastard!
[05:22] ---
    What the hell are you doing?
[05:26] ---
    Why you—!
[05:31] ---
    I see...
[05:33] ---
    Seems like this is gonna be fun!
[05:43] ---
    I think you should watch the next match.
[05:54] ---
    Damn it!
[06:04] ---
    I didn't expect this would happen.
[06:08] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[06:10] ---
    However, I'm gonna come at you
    with everything I've got,
[06:12] ---
    so you should do the same, Sarada!
[06:15] ---
    Of course!
[06:16] ---
    The third match of the final round!
[06:19] ---
    Sarada Uchiha versus Cho-Cho Akimichi!
[06:23] ---
    Begin!
[06:25] ---
    I'm not gonna lose!
[06:31] ---
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
SIGN    SARADA UCHIHA VS. CHO-CHO AKIMICHI
[06:48] ---
    That was quick.
[06:49] ---
    Was it?
[06:51] ---
    So, how was he?
[06:53] ---
    Not bad.
[07:24] ---
    You're being unusually serious about this!
[07:26] ---
    I can do that too!
[07:28] ---
    Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!
[07:31] ---
    This is nothing!
[07:34] ---
    Then how about this?!
[07:50] ---
    Things are getting quite heated,
    are they not?
[07:52] ---
    Yeah, it looks like Sarada has
    the advantage in this match.
[07:55] ---
    Yeah.
[07:58] ---
    We don't know the outcome just yet.
[07:59] ---
    That's right.
[08:07] ---
    Sorry, Cho-Cho!
[08:08] ---
    Are you all right?!
[08:16] ---
    What's with the apology?
[08:18] ---
    Huh?
[08:20] ---
    Sarada, just now...
[08:28] ---
    You said, "Sorry," didn't you?
[08:31] ---
    Huh?
[08:33] ---
    You're not taking our match
    seriously, are you?
[08:38] ---
    I guess you're thinking you can
    beat me without even trying, huh?
[08:42] ---
    No, that's not—!
[08:45] ---
    I can't afford to lose here.
[08:49] ---
    I'm absolutely going to win
    this match and become a chunin.
[08:52] ---
    It doesn't matter if the design is uncool...
[08:55] ---
    I promised to wear that vest
    together with Shikadai!
[08:59] ---
    And that's why...
[09:03] ---
    I'm serious!
[09:26] ---
    All right!
[09:27] ---
    You're doing great, Cho-Cho!
[09:29] ---
    She took a direct hit at full power!
[09:32] ---
    This is... an unexpected game changer, huh?
[09:35] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[09:37] ---
    Could you please stop
    underestimating our Cho-Cho?
[09:40] ---
    "Our"?
[09:51] ---
    You won't be able to defeat me
    in your current state.
[09:56] ---
    That's not—!
[09:57] ---
    Sarada, that's because...
[09:59] ---
    You didn't prepare yourself enough, did you?
[10:04] ---
    Did you prepare yourself enough in order to
[10:06] ---
    do what you have to do today?
[10:11] ---
    Prepare myself...
[10:13] ---
    That's right!
[10:17] ---
    I'm prepared as well.
[10:20] ---
    In that case, let me ask you this...
[10:22] ---
    Huh?
[10:23] ---
    If Boruto stops being himself...
[10:27] ---
    If he becomes someone who could cause harm...
[10:31] ---
    Could you stop him?
[10:35] ---
    Even if it means taking the life
[10:37] ---
    of someone who is your friend?
[10:41] ---
    Could I?
[10:43] ---
    Could I do that to Boruto?
[11:01] ---
    That's right...
[11:02] ---
    I had already decided
[11:04] ---
    that I would take down Boruto
[11:06] ---
    if he turned into someone other than himself.
[11:17] ---
    I'm sorry, Cho-Cho.
[11:18] ---
    Again?!
[11:19] ---
    I don't understand you!
[11:21] ---
    No. This is different.
[11:22] ---
    I'm apologizing for how
    I've been behaving so far.
[11:32] ---
    I'm prepared to do this as well!
[11:35] ---
    That's what I wanted to hear!
[11:45] ---
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
[11:50] ---
    Sarada...
[11:52] ---
    You're finally going all out!
[11:54] ---
    In that case, I will too!
[11:56] ---
    Human Boulder!
[11:58] ---
    Roll, roll, roll, roll!
    Roll, roll, roll, roll!
[12:03] ---
    Roll, roll, roll, roll!
    Roll, roll, roll, roll!
[12:07] ---
    Roll, roll, roll, roll!
    Roll, roll, roll, roll!
[12:10] ---
    Roll, roll, roll!
[12:21] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[12:24] ---
    Same here!
[12:26] ---
    This is starting to be a good match.
[12:28] ---
    Yeah, a serious showdown
    between best friends, huh?
[12:32] ---
    Not bad.
[12:33] ---
    I've been through some of those before.
[12:36] ---
    Sasuke should have come to watch this.
[12:38] ---
    I'm sure he's already here...
[12:51] ---
    Sarada!
[12:55] ---
    Cho-Cho!
[13:00] ---
    I'm going to fulfill my promise!
[13:03] ---
    I've prepared myself for this!
[13:06] ---
    Amazing...
[13:22] ---
    Sarada, you're really amazing.
[13:25] ---
    You are too, Cho-Cho!
[13:27] ---
    That said, Sarada...
[13:29] ---
    Even though I love you so much,
[13:31] ---
    I just can't let you win this match!
[13:34] ---
    Same here... I'm absolutely going to win!
[13:43] ---
    Let's settle this soon!
[13:46] ---
    I was just thinking the same thing!
[13:57] ---
    Super Cho-Cho Butterfly Mode!
[14:01] ---
    Chidori!
[14:06] ---
    Cha!
[14:08] ---
    Come at me!
[14:43] ---
    The winner is Sarada Uchiha!
[14:47] ---
    – Wow!
    – Amazing!
[14:50] ---
    Cho-Cho!
[14:54] ---
    What did you think?
[14:58] ---
    It was worth watching, wasn't it?
[15:10] ---
    Cho-Cho...
[15:24] ---
    Thank you!
[15:26] ---
    I'm disappointed...
[15:35] ---
    but I had a lot of fun!
[15:39] ---
    Yeah, me too!
[15:50] ---
    Cho-Cho...
[16:08] ---
    You really gave it your all.
[16:10] ---
    Yeah...
[16:12] ---
    You did really well.
[16:16] ---
    Yeah...
[16:18] ---
    But...
[16:23] ---
    I still lost!
[16:32] ---
    I couldn't keep my promise...
[16:34] ---
    to you guys.
[16:37] ---
    It's fine. Forget about that.
[16:40] ---
    Come to think about it,
    I'd have mixed feelings
[16:45] ---
    if you and Shikadai
    were the only ones wearing vests.
[16:48] ---
    Inojin...
[16:50] ---
    I guess this means
    Shikadai's not wearing his vest
[16:52] ---
    until all three of us can wear one together.
[16:54] ---
    That's not exactly why I don't wear it...
[16:57] ---
    Yeah, yeah... sure.
[16:58] ---
    It's because it doesn't
    look good on you, right?
[17:02] ---
    Let's just go with that excuse!
[17:11] ---
    Dad!
[17:16] ---
    You were watching?
[17:18] ---
    Yeah, well done.
[17:20] ---
    Yeah!
[17:22] ---
    But...
[17:29] ---
    I realized today that the things
    a shinobi must be prepared to do
[17:33] ---
    are much more serious and harsher
    than I'd previously thought.
[17:37] ---
    I'm glad you realized that.
[17:40] ---
    Yeah!
[17:41] ---
    By the way, what happened to
    Boruto and Mitsuki?
[17:45] ---
    I don't see them around.
[17:46] ---
    They still aren't here yet?!
SIGN    UPCOMING PARTICIPANTS:
[17:55] ---
    Maybe something happened to them...
[18:10] ---
    What will you do if it turns out
[18:12] ---
    that Amado has betrayed us, Boruto?
[18:19] ---
    In that situation...
[18:21] ---
    I see...
[18:23] ---
    In short, you'll provide me
    with a facility, staff—
[18:26] ---
    everything I would need to conduct
    my research, huh?
[18:29] ---
    If there's anything else you need,
    just let me know.
[18:33] ---
    Wow, that's quite the compensation package.
[18:36] ---
    You must really value my research...
[18:40] ---
    But why do you want Scientific
    Ninja Tools so badly?
[18:44] ---
    We want power, that's all.
[18:47] ---
    Without power,
[18:50] ---
    our nation will quickly be engulfed
    by a neighboring nation.
[18:54] ---
    Even so, you're shinobi, right?
[18:56] ---
    The might of our shinobi is no longer enough
[18:59] ---
    to maintain peace in our nation.
[19:02] ---
    And that's why you want to
    get your hands on them
[19:04] ---
    as soon as possible, huh?
[19:06] ---
    That's right.
[19:10] ---
    If you so desire, we can pay any amount...
[19:15] ---
    Money, huh?
[19:18] ---
    That bastard!
[19:19] ---
    Wait!
[19:20] ---
    I don't know where you got
    your intel on me,
[19:25] ---
    but I think you're
    underestimating me quite a bit.
[19:27] ---
    What?
[19:29] ---
    Did you think I'd help you
    if you offered enticing conditions
[19:31] ---
    and a ton of money?
[19:35] ---
    Sorry, but... I'm indebted to the Leaf.
[19:40] ---
    I have no intention of helping people
[19:43] ---
    who think my scientific abilities
    are just convenient tools.
[19:46] ---
    You bastard!
[19:48] ---
    It seems like negotiations
    have fallen through, eh?
[19:52] ---
    Yeah, we're done here, right?
[19:55] ---
    In that case, please excuse me.
[20:03] ---
    Did you really think
    we would let you leave
[20:06] ---
    after turning down our offer?
[20:10] ---
    What are you going to do?
[20:13] ---
    We're taking you by force.
[20:20] ---
    Wait! Hand over that old man!
[20:27] ---
    Old Man!
[20:28] ---
    Time for Plan B!
[20:29] ---
    Dispose of him right now.
[20:32] ---
    If we can't have Scientific Ninja Tools,
[20:35] ---
    we won't let other villages
    have them, either.
[20:42] ---
    Yeah, right!
[20:44] ---
    After them!
[20:45] ---
    Yes, sir!
[20:54] ---
    Are you all right, Old Man?!
[20:56] ---
    If you were going to save me,
[20:57] ---
    why didn't you do it a little earlier?
[20:59] ---
    What?! You just don't know
    when to stop talking, do you?!
[21:03] ---
    Well, you saved me.
[21:06] ---
    By the way, I heard the Leaf was
    holding the Chunin Exams today.
[21:10] ---
    Aren't either of you participating?
[21:15] ---
    Oh no! That's right! I forgot!
[21:17] ---
    If we don't hurry,
    we might not make it time.
[21:20] ---
    How can you be so calm, Mitsuki?!
[21:22] ---
    Old Man, we leave the rest up to you!
[21:24] ---
    Huh?!
SIGN    UPCOMING PARTICIPANTS:
[21:33] ---
    Seems like we haven't been called yet.
[21:35] ---
    You're right!
[21:36] ---
    Which means that we might
    make it if we hurry.
[21:38] ---
    Yeah!
[21:44] ---
    The only ones left are Boruto,
    Mitsuki and Miss Tsubaki...
[21:49] ---
    They're all powerful opponents.
[23:27] ---
    Denki, do you intend on challenging me
[23:30] ---
    with Scientific Ninja Tools?
[23:32] ---
    You will not be able to
    defeat me with that!
[23:34] ---
    Yeah, I know it's not going to be easy
[23:36] ---
    going up against you, Miss Tsubaki.
[23:38] ---
    But I've come here prepared and
    ready to go up against anybody.
[23:42] ---
    Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
