[00:12] ---
    You overslept a lot, didn't you, Big Brother?
[00:18] ---
    I don't have any missions today.
[00:20] ---
    Just let me catch up on my sleep, ya know...
[00:24] ---
    Is Kawaki still asleep?
[00:26] ---
    Oh, dear...
[00:28] ---
    He has an important meeting at
    the Hokage's Office today.
[00:32] ---
    Boruto, could you wake him up?
[00:35] ---
    Come on, don't make me do it!
[00:38] ---
    You do it, Hima.
[00:40] ---
    I think it would be better
    if you did it, Big Brother.
[00:44] ---
    I need to hurry up and eat,
    so I can head out.
[00:48] ---
    You just said you don't have
    any missions today!
[00:52] ---
    Anyway, I'm absolutely not doing this!
[00:56] ---
    That's not fair, Big Brother!
[00:58] ---
    No, it's not!
[00:58] ---
    Yes, it is!
[00:59] ---
    Hurry up, you two.
[01:03] ---
    Rock, paper... scissors!
[01:13] ---
    Why me?
[01:16] ---
    Oh, Kawaki, it's morning.
[01:21] ---
    Oh, Kawaki?
[01:28] ---
    Oh, Kawaki!
[01:34] ---
    Kawaki! Get up already, ya know!
[01:40] ---
    You're finally up!
[01:43] ---
    Whoa!
[01:46] ---
    Are you trying to kill me?!
[02:01] ---
    Kawaki!
SIGN    1\fad(550,500)\pos(511,207)}Kawaki's Path to
    Becoming a Ninja*
[03:36] ---
    I'm glad you could make it.
[03:38] ---
    What did you want to talk about
     that was so important?
[03:41] ---
    It's about giving you a way
    to become a shinobi.
[03:44] ---
    Normally, in order to become a shinobi,
[03:46] ---
    you have to graduate from
    our Academy and pass an exam.
[03:50] ---
    But everyone already
    acknowledges your skills.
[03:54] ---
    So, first... we'd like you to take
    on some D-rank missions.
[03:58] ---
    D-rank?
[03:59] ---
    Well, they're the easiest kind of missions.
[04:03] ---
    If we determine you can successfully
    carry out missions as a genin,
[04:06] ---
    we'll give you the
    appropriate qualifications.
[04:08] ---
    However, you will be taking on missions
[04:10] ---
    with teams other than Boruto's Team 7.
[04:14] ---
    We want you to learn how to work
    with various teams.
[04:18] ---
    Something about becoming a shinobi...
[04:21] ---
    ...just sounds like a big drag.
[04:23] ---
    Hey, you know—?
[04:26] ---
    Come on, don't say that. Just give it a try.
[04:29] ---
    You might find that it's surprisingly fun.
[04:32] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[04:38] ---
    Damn it, this sounding like a drag
    is what I want to say!
[04:41] ---
    Sorry for the trouble.
[04:43] ---
    Well, I know about Kawaki's contributions
[04:46] ---
    during the fight against the Kara.
[04:47] ---
    But don't you think it'll be difficult
[04:50] ---
    for Kawaki to be a Leaf shinobi?
[04:53] ---
    This is completely different from
    hosting an exchange student.
[04:57] ---
    Still...
[04:59] ---
    I think he can handle it.
[05:02] ---
    Naruto.
[05:04] ---
    All that's left is whether
    he can make friends.
[05:08] ---
    Is that why you wanted
    to team him up with someone
[05:10] ---
    other than Boruto and his teammates?
[05:12] ---
    That's right.
[05:14] ---
    Well, it seems like Kawaki is warming up
    to Shikadai and his team,
[05:18] ---
    so there's probably nothing to worry about.
[05:25] ---
    All right. It's on the predicted course.
[05:27] ---
    Iwabe, if you, Metal and Kawaki
    chase it towards my direction,
[05:32] ---
    I'll capture it using the Lightning Style Net.
[05:34] ---
    Panda bears are ferocious,
    so don't let your guard down.
[05:36] ---
    – Got it!
    – Got it!
[05:39] ---
    All this for a damn panda?
[05:42] ---
    This is so pointless.
[05:45] ---
    There it goes!
[05:59] ---
    All right, that's good!
[06:00] ---
    Kawaki, block that path!
[06:06] ---
    This is bad!
[06:29] ---
    Metal!
[06:30] ---
    Why you—!
[06:33] ---
    Earth Style: Stone Brick!
[07:09] ---
    Kawaki!
[07:10] ---
    Kawaki!
[07:13] ---
    What?!
[07:27] ---
    Sorry.
[07:28] ---
    I dozed off for a bit.
[07:30] ---
    Metal got injured, you know.
[07:32] ---
    Half-hearted dedication will put
    your friends in harm's way.
[07:37] ---
    Friends?
[07:39] ---
    We're not exactly friends, are we?
SIGN    You bastard!
[07:42] ---
    The only reason we're doing
    this D-rank mission is to help you.
[07:47] ---
    It's a mission, so you can't help it, right?
[07:50] ---
    Why you—!
[07:51] ---
    Iwabe!
[07:52] ---
    Let us stop this already.
[07:53] ---
    Fighting amongst friends is not good.
[07:56] ---
    If we're done here, then I'm leaving.
[08:02] ---
    Kawaki...
[08:14] ---
    Being strong is more than good enough.
SIGN    CANDY SHOP
[08:22] ---
    Hey, Kawaki!
[08:24] ---
    Hey!
[08:26] ---
    What do you want?
[08:28] ---
    How about it?
[08:29] ---
    Want to play Cards?
[08:31] ---
    That stuff?
[08:32] ---
    No way.
[08:33] ---
    You don't have to say it like that.
[08:35] ---
    We were inviting you to hang out with us.
[08:38] ---
    I don't have the time
    to play "friends" with you.
[08:42] ---
    Later.
[08:44] ---
    Hey!
[08:50] ---
    A burger before dinner really hits the spot.
[08:53] ---
    Hey, thanks for your hard work today!
[08:57] ---
    What happened, you guys?
[08:59] ---
    Well, some...
[09:01] ---
    ...things happened.
[09:03] ---
    Some things?
[09:04] ---
    With Kawaki.
[09:06] ---
    Huh?
[09:07] ---
    What do you—?
[09:08] ---
    You guys too, huh?
[09:17] ---
    What does Kawaki think he's doing?
[09:20] ---
    He may be strong,
[09:23] ---
    but maybe he's not suited
    to being a shinobi.
[09:25] ---
    Huh?
[09:27] ---
    Growing up in this village,
[09:28] ---
    there are probably a lot of things
    that come naturally to us
[09:30] ---
    that just don't make sense to Kawaki.
[09:35] ---
    We go out on missions together
[09:37] ---
    and place our lives in each other's hands.
[09:39] ---
    So being friends outside of that
    is important, right?
[09:42] ---
    I agree with Shikadai.
[09:53] ---
    Oh! K-Kawaki...
[09:55] ---
    So, um... How was your mission today?
[09:59] ---
    How was it?
[10:00] ---
    Well...
[10:02] ---
    I was wondering if you were
    getting along with everyone.
[10:04] ---
    Is there a need to get along?
[10:06] ---
    All that matters is the success
    of the mission, right?
[10:10] ---
    No.
[10:11] ---
    You don't take on missions by yourself.
[10:14] ---
    I have no intention of teaming up
    with anyone aside from you.
[10:18] ---
    And I'm not gonna socialize.
[10:20] ---
    You don't understand anything, do you?
[10:23] ---
    To a shinobi, teammates are like family.
[10:26] ---
    Let go of me!
[10:28] ---
    I'm exhausted.
[10:29] ---
    You're never going to become
    a shinobi at this rate!
[10:33] ---
    I'm...
[10:35] ---
    not interested in making friends!
[10:41] ---
    Oh, is that right?!
[10:42] ---
    Then do whatever you want!
[10:49] ---
    Everyone's such a drag...
[10:52] ---
    Each and every one of them.
[11:01] ---
    We've found our target!
[11:02] ---
    They're heading northeast through the alleys.
[11:05] ---
    Tsubaki!
[11:07] ---
    Namida!
[11:08] ---
    I want you to take the target
    into custody unharmed!
[11:11] ---
    – Understood!
    – Understood!
[11:15] ---
    Hm?
[11:35] ---
    Kawaki...
[11:42] ---
    Boruto, what's that about?
[11:47] ---
    Huh?
[11:49] ---
    What happened?
[11:52] ---
    Did something happen during your mission?
[11:54] ---
    Well...
[11:56] ---
    We were looking for a boy
    who ran away from home.
[11:59] ---
    And Kawaki went a little too far.
[12:01] ---
    Oh, no! Did he injure him or something?!
[12:04] ---
    He didn't go that far,
[12:05] ---
    but he startled him and made him pass out.
[12:08] ---
    The client went to
    the Hokage's Office to complain.
[12:11] ---
    And we got scolded.
[12:12] ---
    We told Kawaki to take him
    into custody without harming him!
[12:16] ---
    However, he doesn't seem to think
    he's done anything wrong,
[12:19] ---
    so he just left by himself.
[12:22] ---
    Are you serious?!
[12:24] ---
    Well, as captain, it was my responsibility.
[12:27] ---
    But honestly...
[12:29] ---
    I think he might not be suited
    to being a shinobi.
[12:33] ---
    Boruto, since you live with him,
[12:36] ---
    you should teach him about
    what being a shinobi is!
[12:38] ---
    Uh, uh-huh...
[12:48] ---
    Why did I have to get lectured?
SIGN    REPORT
[12:52] ---
    Kawaki again, huh?
[12:54] ---
    It seems he isn't getting along
    with any team.
[12:57] ---
    Even though the missions are simple.
[13:00] ---
    At this rate, we can't allow him
    to become a shinobi.
[13:04] ---
    He doesn't seem to have a positive attitude
    going into the missions either.
[13:07] ---
    Does that mean D-rank missions are too easy?
[13:10] ---
    Huh?
[13:16] ---
    But, I caught him...
[13:20] ---
    Damn them all!
SIGN    FIRE
[13:26] ---
    Come in.
[13:37] ---
    Now that you're all here,
    we'll explain your mission.
[13:41] ---
    This will be a C-rank escort mission.
[13:44] ---
    The client is a boy
    who has traveled to the Leaf
[13:47] ---
    from the Land of Calm Seas for a vacation.
[13:49] ---
    The Land of Calm Seas...
    is a small nation near the coast.
[13:53] ---
    Our client bought some
    expensive pieces of art as souvenirs.
[13:56] ---
    To prevent them from being stolen,
[13:57] ---
    he wants us to escort him back to his land.
[14:00] ---
    Inojin is on assignment
    backing up the Sensory Team,
[14:04] ---
    so you will be handling this mission
[14:05] ---
    as a three-man team
    with Kawaki in his place.
[14:09] ---
    Additionally, this will be
    Kawaki's final exam
[14:12] ---
    to qualify for the rank of genin.
[14:16] ---
    My final exam?
[14:17] ---
    If you complete this mission successfully,
[14:20] ---
    you will officially become a genin.
[14:23] ---
    I'm...
[14:26] ---
    ...not suited to being a shinobi.
[14:29] ---
    Kawaki...
[14:30] ---
    All this stuff about making friends
    and taking orders is a real drag!
[14:35] ---
    Listen, in order to become a shinobi—
[14:37] ---
    I still haven't decided whether
    I want to become a shinobi or not.
[14:39] ---
    Kawaki!
[14:44] ---
    Damn it!
[14:46] ---
    If I'm told to take on a mission,
    I'll work with anyone.
[14:52] ---
    So, the rest is all up to him.
[14:55] ---
    Hey, wait, Shikadai!
[15:01] ---
    It seems like he isn't getting along
    with Shikadai either.
[15:04] ---
    Considering Kawaki's attitude,
    it's no surprise.
[15:08] ---
    Also, I can't agree with allowing
    Kawaki to leave the village.
[15:13] ---
    Shikamaru.
[15:14] ---
    Kawaki doesn't have a normal body.
[15:16] ---
    It's packed with technology from Kara.
[15:19] ---
    There's a chance he'll be targeted
    by people who will be after that.
SIGN    SEVENTH HOKAGE
[15:24] ---
    Your concerns are quite reasonable.
[15:26] ---
    However, we can't keep him trapped
    within the village forever.
[15:33] ---
    Naruto.
[15:35] ---
    If he's able to form friendships with others,
[15:38] ---
    I'm sure they'll protect him.
[15:43] ---
    I said it before, didn't I?
[15:44] ---
    Kawaki needs friends.
[15:49] ---
    Who wants to become a genin anyway?
[15:51] ---
    I can become stronger
    without being a shinobi.
[15:56] ---
    Oh, Kawaki!
[16:01] ---
    What's with... his menacing aura?
[16:06] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
SIGN    MISSION PAY
[16:08] ---
    You're still an apprentice, so it's not much,
[16:11] ---
    but this is your pay for your missions.
[16:13] ---
    This is for me?
[16:14] ---
    That's right.
[16:15] ---
    You'll be paid with a daily allowance
    until you become a genin.
[16:22] ---
    I can spend it?
[16:24] ---
    Of course!
[16:25] ---
    Spend it in any way you like!
SIGN    CHEESE CUSTARD CHOCOLATE SMOOTH BEAN JAM CHUNKY BEAN JAM
SIGN    TAIYAKI
[16:34] ---
    Uh, sir. Have you decided yet?
[16:39] ---
    Chunky bean jam and... chocolate.
[16:42] ---
    Sure thing!
[16:43] ---
    Hey, can we get taiyaki?
[16:45] ---
    Now there's an idea!
[16:47] ---
    Why don't we take some home to eat?
[16:49] ---
    Hold on a second!
[16:51] ---
    Scratch that!
[16:56] ---
    I sure wanted to go to the Land of Calm Seas.
[16:59] ---
    You have a mission with
    the Sensory Team, don't you?
[17:02] ---
    Yeah. But you don't know whether
    Kawaki will show up tomorrow, right?
[17:07] ---
    Well, if that happens,
    I'll just handle it with Cho-Cho.
[17:11] ---
    Even if Kawaki doesn't become a shinobi,
[17:12] ---
    it has nothing to do with us.
[17:13] ---
    Pretty much. He might not be like us.
[17:18] ---
    Here comes a rare card!
[17:32] ---
    I heard about your new mission.
[17:34] ---
    Huh?
[17:35] ---
    I hope you're not thinking of running away.
[17:38] ---
    What the hell?
[17:40] ---
    What I do is none of your business.
[17:42] ---
    It's an important exam.
[17:44] ---
    Don't you want to become a shinobi?
[17:46] ---
    Quit griping, it's annoying.
[17:49] ---
    Come on!
[17:52] ---
    This is exactly why it's such a drag!
[17:55] ---
    Wait!
[17:58] ---
    He's so—!
[18:00] ---
    Did you have an argument?
[18:02] ---
    He's so aggravating!
[18:03] ---
    I was just worried about him...
[18:06] ---
    I wonder if it's because
[18:07] ---
    Kawaki still doesn't know
    how to interact with people.
[18:11] ---
    How to interact with people?
[18:13] ---
    He was a prisoner in
    a very small world for a long time.
[18:18] ---
    I don't think he's ever had
    friendly interactions with anyone.
[18:22] ---
    He might not know what it's like
    playing, laughing, and fighting...
[18:26] ---
    together with friends.
[18:31] ---
    Did he bring those?
[18:33] ---
    See?
[18:50] ---
    Kawaki?
[18:53] ---
    You passed the Chunin Exam...
[18:57] ---
    and you're still training this late?
[18:59] ---
    I still have a long way to go.
[19:01] ---
    I want to become a powerful shinobi
[19:03] ---
    who can protect everyone in the village,
[19:05] ---
    just like Lord Seventh.
[19:08] ---
    Lord Seventh...
[19:10] ---
    I want to go on tons of missions,
[19:12] ---
    fight powerful shinobi in actual combat,
    and gain experience,
[19:15] ---
    so I can become even stronger.
[19:17] ---
    Missions, huh?
[19:20] ---
    I don't want to do them
[19:22] ---
    if I have to team up
    with people I don't like.
[19:24] ---
    Don't you want to become stronger?
[19:27] ---
    Of course I do!
[19:30] ---
    There's a limit to what you can do
    on a mission by yourself.
[19:34] ---
    Normally, a mission is done
    with other shinobi.
[19:41] ---
    If you want to become stronger,
    you have no choice
[19:43] ---
    but to work with your friends
    and take on missions.
[19:46] ---
    Friends again?
[19:48] ---
    This is our village, after all.
[19:49] ---
    We're able to work hard if it's for the Leaf.
[19:53] ---
    Don't you feel the same way?
[19:58] ---
    I have no place...
[20:01] ---
    I can call "my village."
[20:05] ---
    Kawaki...
[20:06] ---
    I'm going to train too.
SIGN    SHINOBI
SIGN    A - UN
[20:12] ---
    I guess he's not coming.
[20:14] ---
    Just when I thought I could go
    on a mission with Kawaki.
[20:19] ---
    You wanted to go with him?!
[20:21] ---
    I mean, he's so handsome!
[20:23] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[20:28] ---
    It's time!
[20:29] ---
    Let's go!
[20:30] ---
    What?
[20:30] ---
    Let's wait a bit longer.
[20:32] ---
    We can't.
[20:34] ---
    Waiting any longer will disrupt the mission.
[20:43] ---
    Kawaki!
[20:46] ---
    You're late.
[20:48] ---
    I overslept.
[20:49] ---
    Damn it, you—
[20:52] ---
    Your clothes!
[20:54] ---
    What happened?
[20:55] ---
    It's nothing.
[21:00] ---
    Hey, you...
[21:01] ---
    I don't think you're fully aware of
    your responsibilities as a shinobi.
[21:04] ---
    Oh, this is the client for our mission.
[21:07] ---
    I'm Mozuku from the Land of Calm Seas.
[21:11] ---
    A shinobi arriving late...
[21:13] ---
    If you can't handle your job properly,
[21:15] ---
    I'll be demanding a discount
    on your fees later.
[21:17] ---
    You bastard!
[21:19] ---
    Your attitude is terrible.
[21:22] ---
    Can I beat this brat up?
[21:25] ---
    You can't do that!
[21:27] ---
    He's an important client!
[21:29] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[21:31] ---
    All right!
[21:33] ---
    Now that we're all here,
[21:35] ---
    let's head out to the Land of Calm Seas!

    I'll complete this mission.

[23:35] ---

[23:36] ---
