SIGN    THUNDER BURGER
[00:10] ---
    It's so good!
[00:12] ---
    Having a Thunder Burger
    after a while is the best!
[00:15] ---
    It really makes you feel
    like we're back home, doesn't it?
[00:20] ---
    I heard you went through a lot
    in the Hidden Mist.
[00:23] ---
    I'm surprised everyone was able
    to return safely
[00:25] ---
    from such a dangerous mission.
[00:27] ---
    Well, the captains gave it their all!
[00:29] ---
    I still have a lot to improve
    as a captain though.
[00:33] ---
    Anyway, how are things with the both of you?
[00:35] ---
    Any new missions?
[00:37] ---
    Uh...
[00:38] ---
    Shikadai was selected to go
    on a mission with a different squad,
[00:41] ---
    so we're just on standby.
[00:44] ---
    And we've got nothing else to do.
[00:46] ---
    Are you guys okay with that?
[00:49] ---
    Shikadai's gonna keep advancing
    further than you.
[00:51] ---
    But there's nothing we can do, right?
[00:54] ---
    That's right.
[00:55] ---
    The things that we can do
    as genin are limited.
[00:59] ---
    But if Team 10 doesn't accomplish anything,
[01:01] ---
    Shikadai won't be able
    to boost his reputation.
[01:04] ---
    A captain is responsible for
    his team's standing, after all.
[01:14] ---
    You think... if we weren't around,
[01:18] ---
    Shikadai would be able to accomplish more?
[01:21] ---
    Which would mean...
[01:23] ---
    we're holding him back, right?
[01:27] ---
    Team 7's teamwork is solid.
    And they've accomplished a lot.
[01:33] ---
    It might be better for Shikadai
[01:34] ---
    if he teams up with different
    and more talented shinobi.
[01:38] ---
    I've been looking for you guys!
[01:43] ---
    I have a new mission for you two.
SIGN    1\fad(480,1)\pos(520,222)}The Ultimate Recipe*
[03:18] ---
    We've received intel from the Sensory Team
[03:20] ---
    that someone wanted by the Hidden Cloud
[03:22] ---
    is hiding out in our village.
[03:25] ---
    The man's name is Jingo Kumano.
[03:27] ---
    He's a Rogue Shinobi and
[03:28] ---
    we've been told to take him
    into custody when we find him.
[03:33] ---
    Apparently, he's been procuring
    all kinds of weapons in the Hidden Leaf.
[03:36] ---
    There is a possibility
    he might start something.
[03:39] ---
    Mr. Shikadai has put together
    a team to investigate
[03:42] ---
    a gang of thieves who are after
    the village's top-secret data.
[03:46] ---
    Would it be too much to ask the both of you
[03:48] ---
    to take on this mission by yourselves?
[03:51] ---
    By ourselves?
[03:51] ---
    By ourselves?
[03:53] ---
    Is there a problem?
[03:55] ---
    Well, I'm just worried if
    we'll be okay without our captain...
[03:59] ---
    Why are you being such a drag?
[04:02] ---
    The village believes the two of you
    can handle this.
[04:07] ---
    We're counting on you!
[04:09] ---
    Okay!
[04:09] ---
    Okay!
SIGN    NINJA TOOLS
    
    
    
    
    TEN TEN TEN
[04:19] ---
    That's our guy, right?
[04:21] ---
    I guess that intel
    he was procuring weapons was true!
[04:27] ---
    It's too dangerous to cause
    a disturbance here.
[04:29] ---
    Let's wait for him in a less crowded area.
[04:31] ---
    'Course!
[04:32] ---
    Let's catch him and show 'em what we can do!
[04:48] ---
    Hold it right there!
[04:51] ---
    Wh-Who are you guys?!
[04:53] ---
    You're the wanted criminal,
    Jingo Kumano, aren't you?
[04:56] ---
    Could you please come with us?
[04:58] ---
    Huh? Huh?
[05:01] ---
    You're not getting away!
[05:06] ---
    Super Beast Scroll!
[05:11] ---
    Crash!
[05:13] ---
    S-Save me!
[05:16] ---
    Despite being a Rogue Shinobi,
    he's not much of a challenge!
[05:20] ---
    We're confiscating your belongings.
[05:22] ---
    Give those back!
[05:24] ---
    Those are important items!
[05:26] ---
    This is evidence of your crimes, isn't it?
[05:30] ---
    I knew it.
[05:32] ---
    How were you planning to use these tools?
[05:34] ---
    I think you should come clean
    about everything.
[05:37] ---
    That's a—!
[05:41] ---
    Hold on a second.
[05:42] ---
    What is it?
[05:43] ---
    Something smells good, doesn't it?
[05:45] ---
    Smells nice?
[05:49] ---
    D-Dried bonito?!
[05:52] ---
    Also, there's pork, dried sardines,
    and pepper?!
[05:58] ---
    Well...
[06:00] ---
    Truth is, they're ingredients for
    a ramen I've been working on.
[06:04] ---
    Ramen?!
[06:04] ---
    Ramen?!
[06:07] ---
    This bamboo tube contains shichimi.
[06:10] ---
    The shopkeeper only makes
    five of these a day,
[06:12] ---
    so it's pretty valuable.
[06:14] ---
    I went through a lot to get it!
[06:16] ---
    Shichimi? Ramen?!
    What are you talking about?
[06:19] ---
    Hey!
[06:23] ---
    Mr. Kohan?!
[06:25] ---
    I'm very sorry about what happened!
[06:27] ---
    Oh, it's fine.
[06:30] ---
    The Sensory Team's criminal database
    wasn't updated properly...
[06:34] ---
    and we were sent on a wild goose chase.
[06:36] ---
    Mr. Jingo was a Rogue Ninja,
[06:38] ---
    but he's been pardoned by his village.
[06:40] ---
    That was a long time ago.
[06:42] ---
    I had no talent for ninjutsu or taijutsu,
[06:45] ---
    so I ran away from the village.
[06:47] ---
    That's why you were caught so easily, huh?
[06:50] ---
    But now that I've been pardoned
    by my village,
[06:52] ---
    I'm the proud owner of
    my very own ramen shop.
[06:54] ---
    Then, why did you run away?
[06:56] ---
    Well, I was being chased,
    so old habits kicked in...
[07:00] ---
    Then, what's with that long knife?
[07:03] ---
    This is a tool I use to cut noodles.
[07:06] ---
    So, it's just a cooking tool...
[07:08] ---
    A chef's tools are his lifeblood!
[07:11] ---
    I have to have this with me
    at all times, or I'll get anxious.
[07:13] ---
    Man! We thought the knife was a weapon!
[07:17] ---
    We thought we could stop
    an incident by ourselves,
[07:19] ---
    but it turns out there was nothing to stop.
[07:21] ---
    It's kind of disappointing, isn't it?
[07:24] ---
    Oh!
[07:25] ---
    Also, I'm feeling a bit hungry.
[07:28] ---
    In that case,
[07:30] ---
    would you like to try my ramen?
[07:39] ---
    I knew it.
[07:40] ---
    You were after our data
    on Scientific Ninja Tools.
[07:43] ---
    Damn it!
[08:04] ---
    Damn it!
[08:07] ---
    Hey! Wait!
[08:10] ---
    What's with that guy?
[08:12] ---
    He didn't even apologize.
[08:14] ---
    Are you all right, Mr. Jingo?
[08:16] ---
    Yeah. Sorry about that.
SIGN    RAMEN JINGO
[08:28] ---
    This is my shop!
[08:37] ---
    It was great that I was able
    to open up a shop, but...
[08:41] ---
    I just don't get many customers.
[08:45] ---
    Is that why you were trying
    to create a new ramen?
[08:48] ---
    A ramen critic is supposed to be coming
[08:51] ---
    to the Hidden Leaf Village tomorrow.
[08:53] ---
    A ramen critic?
[08:55] ---
    Yeah, he goes undercover to eat
    at ramen shops around the village
[08:59] ---
    and writes magazine articles about them.
[09:01] ---
    If he's undercover,
[09:02] ---
    how do you know about that?
[09:04] ---
    Well, I ended up gathering some intel,
[09:06] ---
    a habit from my shinobi days.
[09:09] ---
    If I can get the critic to say
    my ramen is delicious,
[09:12] ---
    I'll get tons of customers
[09:13] ---
    and I might be able to recover this shop.
[09:16] ---
    But I'm not sure if I'll be able to create
[09:18] ---
    a new menu item by tomorrow.
[09:19] ---
    Mr. Jingo, why did you decide
    to open up a ramen shop
[09:22] ---
    in the first place?
[09:25] ---
    Long ago, I left my village and
[09:28] ---
    was wandering around without any money.
[09:30] ---
    When I was hungry,
SIGN    ICHIRAKU
[09:32] ---
    the old man at Ichiraku would
    treat me to his ramen.
[09:40] ---
    That ramen was so delicious
    and warm that it made me cry.
[09:45] ---
    After eating it, I decided I wanted
    to start over again
[09:48] ---
    from the bottom of my heart.
[09:50] ---
    The bowl of ramen that changed your life!
[09:54] ---
    That's a super awesome story, you know!
[09:57] ---
    You really are fond of stories
    that involve food, huh?
[10:02] ---
    That's why I want to create a ramen
[10:04] ---
    that can make people happy like that.
[10:08] ---
    But... no matter what,
    I can only do things half-way.
[10:12] ---
    I'm no good as a shinobi,
[10:13] ---
    and I can't make ramen good enough either.
[10:16] ---
    In that case, let's create a delicious ramen
[10:19] ---
    and make your shop a success, Mr. Jingo!
[10:21] ---
    We don't mind helping you out
    until tomorrow,
[10:23] ---
    since we caused you some grief
[10:24] ---
    with the Sensory Team's slip-up, after all.
[10:26] ---
    Is that all right, you two?!
[10:28] ---
    We can't just ignore someone
    who's trying hard
[10:31] ---
    to make something delicious.
[10:37] ---
    Where's that data?
[10:39] ---
    We definitely got it.
[10:44] ---
    What's going on?
[10:45] ---
    It's just shichimi!
[10:47] ---
    That's impossible!
[10:49] ---
    I definitely placed the memory card in there!
[10:58] ---
    That guy... back then!
SIGN    RAMEN JINGO
SIGN    BEAN SPROUTS
[11:05] ---
    The ingredients seem kinda ordinary.
[11:10] ---
    Maybe you can gather ingredients
    in a more shinobi-like way,
[11:12] ---
    since you used to be one!
[11:14] ---
    That's right!
[11:15] ---
    Unique and exceptional ingredients
    would be awesome!
[11:19] ---
    Unique and exceptional ingredients?
[11:38] ---
    Are they really up here?!
[11:41] ---
    People say
    there are legendary bamboo shoots
[11:43] ---
    at the top of this mountain!
[11:44] ---
    You need to risk your life
[11:46] ---
    if you want to make delicious menma pickles!
[11:48] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[11:50] ---
    See you at the top!
[11:51] ---
    Hey!
[11:54] ---
    These are the legendary bamboo shoots?
[11:57] ---
    Got 'em!
[12:18] ---
    Fire Style: Char Siu Flames!
[12:22] ---
    You need to carefully keep
    the heat to a gentle simmer!
[12:29] ---
    That kind of looked like ninjutsu,
    but it's not, is it?
[12:31] ---
    Attitude is important... the attitude!
[12:40] ---
    Your temperature control isn't good enough!
[12:42] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[12:51] ---
    Hmm, maybe they should be a little firmer.
[12:55] ---
    Water Style: Water Vortex!
[13:01] ---
    Now!
[13:04] ---
    Lighting Style: Thunder Egg Wave!
[13:09] ---
    The shells were neatly removed!
[13:13] ---
    With this much passion...
[13:15] ---
    It might just be possible to create
    the greatest ramen!
[13:20] ---
    It's just about time.
[13:23] ---
    I used a soup base of bonito flakes
    and dried sardines,
[13:27] ---
    then added wild pig tonkotsu broth
    to make it rich.
[13:30] ---
    The best ingredients and
    the best preparation methods!
[13:33] ---
    This should be perfect!
[13:44] ---
    How is it?
[13:45] ---
    It's really delicious!
[13:46] ---
    Really?!
[13:48] ---
    But...
[13:50] ---
    "But"?
[13:51] ---
    When I put it in my mouth,
    it doesn't have much of an impact.
[13:56] ---
    All of the flavors have
    melded together well, but...
[13:58] ---
    there's something missing.
[14:01] ---
    No way!
[14:03] ---
    It was supposed to be the perfect ramen!
[14:06] ---
    We don't have much time,
    but we can't give up!
[14:08] ---
    We need to find what's missing!
[14:19] ---
    What's missing, huh...?
[14:24] ---
    Oh!
[14:25] ---
    Sorry, I forgot my wallet.
[14:28] ---
    I'm gonna go back and get it.
[14:29] ---
    Hurry back, okay?!
[14:35] ---
    Who's there?!
[14:36] ---
    What are you doing?!
[14:44] ---
    Mr. Jingo's taking a while.
[14:48] ---
    Didn't you just eat ramen?
[14:50] ---
    Potato chips go into
    a different part of the stomach.
[14:52] ---
    Gotta switch up the taste!
[14:54] ---
    I borrowed this from Mr. Jingo.
[15:00] ---
    What?!
[15:03] ---
    Mr. Jingo?
[15:12] ---
    Something happened!
[15:13] ---
    Super Beast Scroll!
[15:22] ---
    If we follow the scent of the tonkotsu broth,
[15:24] ---
    we should find Mr. Jingo!
[15:25] ---
    We need to find him so he can create
[15:27] ---
    an absolutely delicious ramen by tomorrow!
[15:33] ---
    That's their hideout, huh?
[15:35] ---
    It's not just the Hidden Leaf...
[15:36] ---
    We've received complaints
    from other villages.
[15:39] ---
    Let's get back that top secret data
    they stole from us.
[15:42] ---
    Roger.
[15:48] ---
    That man...
[15:50] ---
    He's the one Cho-Cho and Inojin
    were pursuing.
[15:57] ---
    Those are Inojin's—!
[16:03] ---
    What's the matter?
[16:05] ---
    It's a message from Shikadai!
[16:06] ---
    Shikadai?
[16:07] ---
    He was going after
    that gang of data thieves, wasn't he?
[16:10] ---
    I know where Mr. Jingo is now!
[16:14] ---
    Where did you put the stolen data?!
[16:16] ---
    Data? What are you talking about?
[16:19] ---
    You had a small bamboo tube, didn't you?
[16:21] ---
    A bamboo tube?
[16:23] ---
    Are you guys shichimi thieves?
[16:25] ---
    I have shichimi in my shop!
[16:27] ---
    I'll give you as much as you want,
    so please let me go!
[16:30] ---
    Stop messing around!
[16:32] ---
    Where did you hide it?!
[16:35] ---
    I hope you didn't hand it over
    to the Hidden Leaf shinobi already!
[16:40] ---
    I don't know what you're planning,
    but I won't give up!
[16:44] ---
    I'm going to create
    some delicious ramen by tomorrow!
[16:50] ---
    If you don't talk, you're going to die.
[17:03] ---
    Human Boulder!
    Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!
[17:12] ---
    Super Beast Scroll!
[17:17] ---
    Are you all right?
[17:18] ---
    Yeah!
[17:20] ---
    Please save me!
[17:25] ---
    Do you know why the gang
    of thieves targeted you?
[17:28] ---
    Well, they kept going on about
    shichimi or something.
[17:32] ---
    I don't get any of it!
[17:34] ---
    Shichimi?
[17:35] ---
    Anyway, Mr. Jingo, we need to hurry up
    and complete your ramen!
[17:39] ---
    Ramen?
[17:40] ---
    This is bad!
[17:41] ---
    We don't have much time until morning!
[17:42] ---
    Shikadai, we'll talk to you later!
[17:45] ---
    Hey! Come back!
[17:49] ---
    No luck.
[17:50] ---
    We can't find the top-secret data
    that was stolen.
[17:54] ---
    Maybe Mr. Jingo has something
    to do with this, after all.
SIGN    RAMEN JINGO
[18:08] ---
    How is it this time?
[18:11] ---
    There's definitely something missing.
[18:14] ---
    It's not bad, though.
[18:16] ---
    You're making ramen?
[18:19] ---
    Shikadai?!
[18:21] ---
    Are you done with your mission?
[18:22] ---
    No, we're still missing
    the item we're looking for.
[18:25] ---
    Missing item, huh?
[18:27] ---
    We're missing something here too.
[18:30] ---
    Maybe we need a bit of heat...
[18:36] ---
    Shichimi!!
[18:41] ---
    What is this?
[18:43] ---
    That's—!
[18:45] ---
    That's the data stolen
    by the gang of thieves!
[18:48] ---
    No way!
[18:49] ---
    What was it doing here?
[18:53] ---
    This is hilarious.
[18:55] ---
    Inojin, Cho-Cho, thanks to you guys,
[18:58] ---
    we found the important data.
[19:01] ---
    We thought we were always holding you back.
[19:09] ---
    We thought that you would
    be able to accomplish more
[19:12] ---
    if you were paired with
    more talented shinobi.
[19:15] ---
    Getting a bunch of talented people together
[19:17] ---
    doesn't guarantee good work.
[19:18] ---
    As long as your individual flavors
    meld together,
[19:21] ---
    you can become the ultimate team.
[19:24] ---
    Just like Ino-Shika-Cho, right?
[19:26] ---
    Shikadai...
[19:27] ---
    I knew that was the case!
[19:30] ---
    Inojin, you were overthinking this.
[19:32] ---
    You should think a little more!
[19:36] ---
    As long as your individual flavors
    meld together,
[19:39] ---
    you can make something the ultimate...
SIGN    GALBI POTATO CHIPS
[19:44] ---
    I get it!
[19:45] ---
    I know what that ramen was missing!
[19:48] ---
    Consommé... seaweed salt...
    cheese... butter!
[19:54] ---
    With just an ordinary delicious ramen,
    you eventually get bored of it,
[19:58] ---
    but you can change the taste
    with your favorite potato chips, right?
[20:01] ---
    It becomes full-bodied,
[20:03] ---
    like when you throw in a tempura shrimp.
[20:04] ---
    And the sweetness from the potatoes
    makes it more delicious.
[20:07] ---
    On top of that, it packs a visual punch!
[20:09] ---
    Rather than having a "perfect" ramen,
[20:11] ---
    something with a sense of playfulness
    is attractive!
[20:15] ---
    Thanks for waiting!
[20:22] ---
    Delicious!
[20:23] ---
    The crispy texture is fun,
    and you won't get bored eating it!
[20:31] ---
    This could work!
[20:36] ---
    It's good!
[20:40] ---
    I see, I see!
[20:44] ---
    Thanks to you guys,
[20:46] ---
    my ultimate ramen is complete!
[20:49] ---
    Thank you!
[20:53] ---
    I heard you guys retrieved
    the village's top-secret data.
[20:57] ---
    You got a commendation
    from the village, right?
[20:59] ---
    Yeah, well...
    I guess that's just how good we are, huh?
[21:02] ---
    All you did was eat ramen, Chubs.
[21:04] ---
    Eating is an important mission!
[21:06] ---
    I knew something was up
[21:08] ---
    the moment Mr. Jingo was abducted
    by that gang of thieves.
[21:10] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[21:11] ---
    It's the truth!
[21:14] ---
    What a drag...
SIGN    RAMEN ROAD
[21:16] ---
    Anyway, let's go eat some
    super good ramen.
SIGN    ICHIRAKU MENU RANKING
SIGN    RAMEN JINGO
    IEKEI-STYLE RAMEN
    A PROMISING NEW SHOP
[21:20] ---
    I skipped breakfast especially for this!
[21:23] ---
    The shop is right over there.
SIGN    RAMEN JINGO
[21:30] ---
    What's this about?!
[21:34] ---
    What an incredible line!
[21:36] ---
    Are you serious?
[21:37] ---
    But I'm super hungry!
[21:39] ---
    I guess we have no choice but to lineup.
[21:48] ---
    Here you go!
[21:49] ---
    One Ino-Shika-Cho Ramen up!
[23:25] ---
    Lord Seventh is?
[23:26] ---
    He's going to guest star
    in a Kagemasa movie?!
[23:28] ---
    There was a request for him
    to appear as the Hokage.
[23:32] ---
    That's awesome!
[23:34] ---
    But circumstances prevent me from doing it.
[23:36] ---
    I made a promise to Himawari.
[23:38] ---
    She was looking forward to it,
    so she'll be sad.
[23:41] ---
    Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
SIGN    KONOHAMARU BECOMES
    THE HOKAGE?!
[23:45] ---
    "Konohamaru Becomes the Hokage?!"
[23:47] ---
    Hey, then how about I take on
    the role instead of Lord Seventh?
