[00:10] ---
    I am very pleased to once again
    welcome our newest students
[00:14] ---
    this year to the Academy.
[00:17] ---
    And now, a greeting from the Seventh Hokage.
[00:22] ---
    I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the Hokage.
[00:24] ---
    I want all of you to learn about
    a lot of things
[00:27] ---
    while you attend the Academy.
[00:29] ---
    I'm not just talking about
    ninjutsu and taijutsu.
[00:33] ---
    During the time you spend with your friends,
[00:35] ---
    I'm sure you each will discover
    something new, ya know.
SIGN    1\fad(810,500)\pos(523,238)}Kawaki Enters
    the Ninja Academy!*
[02:20] ---
    I can't believe the three of us
    were able to enroll together!
[02:23] ---
    Yeah! I didn't think this would
    happen during the trial session!
[02:26] ---
    Yeah! I was really looking forward to
[02:29] ---
    going to the Academy with the both of you!
[02:31] ---
    Hey, Mimi, do something!
[02:34] ---
    Show us a trick.
[02:35] ---
    That's impossible!
[02:39] ---
    Hey, Kawaki!
[02:41] ---
    Huh?
[02:42] ---
    It looks like we're gonna be
    in the same class!
[02:44] ---
    It's kind of a surprise,
    but I'm really happy!
[02:49] ---
    I didn't think things would
    end up like this, either!
[02:57] ---
    Huh?
[02:58] ---
    Why do I have to go to
     the Academy with little kids?

[03:01] ---
    You're the only one I can ask
    to take this on.
[03:04] ---
    It's a top-secret guard mission.
[03:07] ---
    You will be protecting Kae Yukiwari.
[03:10] ---
    She's the heir to the crown
    of the Land of Bamboo,
[03:13] ---
    a small nation that has friendly
    relations with the Land of Fire.
[03:16] ---
    She's transferred here to attend the Academy.
[03:19] ---
    That's only on paper.
[03:21] ---
    Her life is being targeted.
[03:25] ---
    By whom?
[03:26] ---
    Someone who will become
    the successor if she dies.
[03:30] ---
    That's why her father, the king,
[03:33] ---
    asked if the Leaf
    could protect her for a while.
[03:36] ---
    If that's the case, you should get
[03:37] ---
    a lot of people to protect the princess!
[03:39] ---
    Kae doesn't even know about this.
[03:43] ---
    She's genuinely looking forward
    to studying abroad.
[03:46] ---
    Her father wants her to be able to
    focus on school life
[03:49] ---
    without any worries
[03:51] ---
    before she returns to
    the rigidity of royal life.
[03:55] ---
    So, why me?
[03:57] ---
    Unlike Boruto, not a lot of people
    know you within the village.
[04:01] ---
    I believe that you'll handle this well.
[04:06] ---
    Also...
[04:08] ---
    I just want to protect her
[04:10] ---
    right here in the Leaf Village.
[04:13] ---
    I just have to do it, right?
[04:15] ---
    Thank you.
[04:17] ---
    So, how long do I have to
    pretend to be a student?
[04:20] ---
    Kae's father is looking into
    the leader of the assassins.
[04:24] ---
    You'll have to keep this up
    until that matter is settled.
[04:27] ---
    Try to be careful, okay?
[04:29] ---
    We were asked to keep those who
    know about this top-secret mission
[04:32] ---
    to a minimum.
[04:33] ---
    Even at the Academy,
[04:35] ---
    only Principal Iruka knows about this.
[04:37] ---
    Oh, one more thing!
[04:38] ---
    Himawari will be enrolling with you.
[04:41] ---
    She is?!
[04:42] ---
    Try to get along with her.
[04:44] ---
    Naturally, keep this mission
    a secret from her.
[04:49] ---
    Umm...
[04:51] ---
    I'll be your homeroom teacher
    from today.
[04:54] ---
    My name is Hana Kaka.
[04:56] ---
    Umm...
[04:57] ---
    Speak louder, Miss Hana!
[05:00] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[05:01] ---
    Well then, everyone, why don't we
    go around and introduce ourselves?
[05:06] ---
    I wonder if she's not used to teaching yet.
[05:09] ---
    This may be a bit presumptuous,
    but I'll start.
[05:12] ---
    My name is Eiki Fuuma.
[05:13] ---
    My father works in the Police Force
    and he's a Special Jonin.
[05:16] ---
    As an elite member of the Fuuma Clan,
[05:18] ---
    I intend to tackle my studies
    in a respectable manner.
[05:21] ---
    He seems confident.
[05:24] ---
    I've heard rumors that the Fuuma Clan
[05:27] ---
    produces talented individuals
    every generation.
[05:31] ---
    My name is Himawari Uzumaki.
[05:32] ---
    I had fun at the trial event,
[05:34] ---
    so I decided to learn about how to
    become a ninja at the Academy.
[05:38] ---
    Uzumaki?
[05:40] ---
    Could you be related to the Hokage?
[05:42] ---
    That's right. He's my dad.
[05:44] ---
    Wow!
[05:44] ---
    Wow!
[05:51] ---
    Humph.
[05:52] ---
    The Hokage's not that special.
[05:54] ---
    My name is Osuka Kamamura.
[05:57] ---
    My father is Gongoro Kamakura.
[05:59] ---
    My mother is Hibari Kamakura,
    the great actress.
[06:02] ---
    I'm sure all of you must have heard of her.
[06:04] ---
    I heard rumors that she's been
    called a child acting prodigy.
[06:09] ---
    Wow, amazing.
[06:12] ---
    There sure are a lot of people
    with strong personalities here...
[06:15] ---
    But the biggest deal is this girl right here.
[06:24] ---
    I've come from the Land of Bamboo
    as a special exchange student.
[06:28] ---
    My name is Kae Yukiwari.
[06:30] ---
    My favorite things are black tea and reading.
[06:33] ---
    This is my first time in
    the Land of Fire and this village,
[06:36] ---
    and so, I hope we can get along!
[06:39] ---
    She's so pretty!
[06:41] ---
    I heard rumors that
    she's the princess of that nation.
[06:45] ---
    A princess?! Amazing!
[06:48] ---
    A princess?!
[06:48] ---
    A princess?!
[06:49] ---
    Whoa...
[06:51] ---
    Are you serious?
[06:52] ---
    Princesses actually exist?
[06:55] ---
    Tsk! She's standing out more than me!
[06:59] ---
    Next up is Kawaki.
[07:03] ---
    Kawaki?
[07:05] ---
    Umm, can you hear me?
[07:07] ---
    Yeah.
[07:11] ---
    That big guy looks scary, doesn't he?
[07:13] ---
    He's definitely older than us.
[07:20] ---
    Just so you know,
[07:21] ---
    I'm not good at getting along with others.
[07:24] ---
    Don't worry.
[07:26] ---
    I'll teach you a way to get
    instantly accepted by your class.

[07:31] ---
    My name is Kawaki!
[07:33] ---
    My favorite food is taiyaki!
[07:35] ---
    Pleased to meet you!
[07:40] ---
    He's scary!
[07:42] ---
    He's got a dangerous air about him.
[07:44] ---
    Y-You must really like taiyaki,
    don't you, Kawaki?
[07:50] ---
    Damn it! "Instantly accepted"?
[07:52] ---
    He was just making stuff up!
[07:54] ---
    I don't get it.
[07:55] ---
    What's with that guy?
[07:56] ---
    S-Scary...
[07:59] ---
    I wonder if Kawaki is nervous.
[08:03] ---
    He's so unique!
[08:10] ---
    So, as a princess, do you live in a castle?
[08:14] ---
    Yes, I do.
[08:15] ---
    But right now, I'm living at
    our vacation villa in the Leaf.
[08:17] ---
    Hey, you said you like to read.
    What kind of books do you like?
[08:21] ---
    Well, I especially like romance novels...
[08:24] ---
    Oh, is that right?
[08:24] ---
    Oh, nice!
[08:26] ---
    Honestly, it's so noisy...
[08:30] ---
    Oh...
[08:33] ---
    You dropped this.
[08:34] ---
    Huh?
[08:36] ---
    Your handkerchief.
[08:39] ---
    Here you go.
[08:44] ---
    Th-Thank you very... much!
[08:48] ---
    S-So pretty!
[08:51] ---
    They're falling head over heels for her.
[08:53] ---
    Ugh, this is so annoying!
[08:55] ---
    Osuka, keep your voice down!
[08:58] ---
    And then I ended up eating
    too many hot cakes.
[09:01] ---
    You're such a big eater, Yuina!
[09:03] ---
    Yup, I am!
[09:06] ---
    First, you need to get close to the target
[09:08] ---
    by becoming friends with her.
[09:10] ---
    Friends?
[09:11] ---
    Well, why don't you start by
[09:13] ---
    inviting her out to eat something good?
[09:16] ---
    Something good?
[09:18] ---
    Like taiyaki?
[09:22] ---
    Hey.
[09:23] ---
    Huh?
[09:24] ---
    You're...
[09:26] ---
    I want to talk to you.
[09:27] ---
    Come with me for a moment.
[09:28] ---
    Huh?
[09:32] ---
    Didn't you hear me?
[09:35] ---
    Umm...
[09:36] ---
    Hold it right there! Can't you see
    that Miss Kae is in distress?
[09:40] ---
    What? Eiki?
[09:41] ---
    Leave this to me.
[09:44] ---
    Are you trying to pick a fight with Miss Kae?
[09:47] ---
    I've got no business with you.
[09:48] ---
    And I don't want to fight.
[09:50] ---
    So, are you hitting on her?!
[09:52] ---
    No. What does that even mean?
[10:00] ---
    W-Well...
[10:02] ---
    it's when you talk to someone
    you think is kind of nice
[10:04] ---
    with the intent of becoming closer!
[10:06] ---
    Then that's exactly what I'm doing.
[10:07] ---
    What?!
[10:09] ---
    Huh?
[10:10] ---
    Whoa, what a bold thing to do
    on the first day of school!
[10:13] ---
    Even though she's a princess?!
[10:15] ---
    Y-You're hitting on her?!
[10:17] ---
    Miss Kae is the princess of a nation!
[10:19] ---
    She would never bother with
    someone shady like you!
[10:21] ---
    Shut up.
[10:22] ---
    I don't need your permission.
[10:25] ---
    Will you be friends with me or not?
    What will it be?
[10:29] ---
    Umm...
[10:36] ---
    Hello, everyone.
[10:43] ---
    So, I was wondering if you'd
    like to get some taiyaki together—
[10:46] ---
    Hold on a second!
[10:47] ---
    You're not worthy of Miss Kae's attention!
[10:49] ---
    I wasn't asking you!
[10:52] ---
    Umm, everyone, I'm starting class,
    so please take your seats.
[11:03] ---
    He's definitely acting strange today.
[11:05] ---
    Umm, everyone?

[11:13] ---
    Good job on your first day.
[11:15] ---
    Was it tough handling a class
    for the first time?
[11:19] ---
    Yes...
[11:20] ---
    I wasn't expecting so many students
    with such strong personalities.
[11:23] ---
    I wonder if I'm cut out for this...
[11:26] ---
    Everyone feels that way at first.
[11:28] ---
    I struggled quite a bit myself
    back in the day...
[11:30] ---
    Ugh, my stomach.
[11:34] ---
    Well, you'll quickly get used to it.
[11:36] ---
    We all know how much of
    a hard worker you are.
[11:40] ---
    I sure hope so.
[11:43] ---
    I'm home!
[11:45] ---
    Welcome back!
[11:47] ---
    How was the Academy?
[11:48] ---
    It was really fun!
[11:51] ---
    There were all kinds of kids
[11:52] ---
    and I'll even get to study with a princess.
[11:55] ---
    Wow, that's amazing!
[11:57] ---
    There's the shiny new student!
[12:00] ---
    Huh? Shut up.
[12:02] ---
    I never thought you'd want to
    attend the Academy.
[12:06] ---
    What made you change your mind?
[12:08] ---
    I have my own reasons.
[12:10] ---
    Well, don't you worry about Team 7!
[12:13] ---
    We'll be sure to get things done
    while you're not around.
[12:18] ---
    Damn it, you have no idea
    what I'm going through.
[12:23] ---
    Oh, hey! There's something
    I want to ask you.
[12:25] ---
    I'm tired. Later.
[12:28] ---
    Did something happen?
[12:30] ---
    He was acting strange
    the entire time at the Academy.
[12:33] ---
    Maybe Kawaki's a bit nervous.
[12:37] ---
    You think so?
[12:41] ---
    The Leaf Village has been governed
    by seven Hokage throughout history,
[12:47] ---
    beginning with the first Hokage,
    Lord Hashirama Senju.
[12:51] ---
    In short, I just need a chance
    to get close to her...
[12:55] ---
    Maybe Kawaki can answer this one.
[12:58] ---
    Kawaki?
[13:00] ---
    Huh?
[13:01] ---
    Umm, tell me what you know about
    the Hokage throughout history.
[13:06] ---
    The Hokage...
[13:08] ---
    Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage
[13:10] ---
    is the son of the Fourth Hokage.
[13:13] ---
    He was the Jinchuriki of Kurama,
    the Nine Tails.
[13:15] ---
    His specialty ninjutsu is
    the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
[13:18] ---
    Wow!
[13:18] ---
    Wow!
[13:20] ---
    His favorite ramen is
    Ichiraku's miso char siu!
[13:23] ---
    Sometimes, he wears his shirts inside out!
[13:26] ---
    U-Umm, that's enough information
    on Lord Seventh.
[13:30] ---
    What about the other Hokage?
[13:31] ---
    Huh?
[13:33] ---
    I don't know anything about the other guys.
[13:35] ---
    What?
[13:36] ---
    You're joking, right?
[13:37] ---
    Is that even possible?
[13:39] ---
    Is he a fan of Lord Seventh?
[13:44] ---
    He really doesn't fit in.
[13:46] ---
    That Kawaki is a weirdo!
[13:48] ---
    Yeah, like the other day...
[14:04] ---
    It wasn't an enemy?
[14:06] ---
    That really startled me!
[14:08] ---
    Oh, b-but surprisingly...
[14:17] ---
    So good!
[14:18] ---
    He was eating a cute, packed lunch.
[14:20] ---
    Huh?
[14:20] ---
    Huh?
[14:22] ---
    Hmm, the mystery surrounding him thickens.
[14:25] ---
    People are talking about him again.
[14:27] ---
    If I'm not mistaken,
    he lives with you, right?
[14:30] ---
    Yeah, but from what I can tell,
[14:32] ---
    Kawaki's been acting
    a bit strange lately.
[14:43] ---
    Oh, could it be...?!
[14:47] ---
    Hey!
[14:50] ---
    I was wondering...
[14:51] ---
    Do you want to become friends
    with Miss Kae?
[14:53] ---
    Huh?
[14:55] ---
    Why don't you break the ice by
    talking about her favorite things?
[14:59] ---
    Miss Kae said she liked reading
    romance novels.
[15:02] ---
    Romance novels?
[15:04] ---
    Hey, why do you want to
    become friends with Miss Kae?
[15:07] ---
    Are you hiding something?
[15:10] ---
    It's nothing!
[15:11] ---
    You're lying!
    You're definitely acting strange.
[15:14] ---
    I can always tell with you!
[15:16] ---
    Mind your own business.
[15:18] ---
    This has nothing to do with you!

[18:47] ---
    See you later!
[18:47] ---
    Okay, bye!
[18:56] ---
    Damn it!
[18:57] ---
    I'm a member of the Fuuma Clan...
[19:00] ---
    I can't believe I'm sneaking into
    the storage room!
[19:04] ---
    But I need to protect Miss Kae
    from that shady Kawaki!
[19:10] ---
    He's abnormally strong.
[19:12] ---
    Is there anything here I can use
    to beat him?
[19:15] ---
    Huh?
[19:27] ---
    It's exhausting keeping up
[19:29] ---
    a princess-like facade for this long!
[19:31] ---
    The Academy is as fun as I expected,
[19:34] ---
    but I'm always surrounded by
    media or admirers...
[19:37] ---
    I hope I can make some friends!
[19:40] ---
    Honestly, I would have liked to have
[19:42] ---
    talked a bit more with that weirdo Kawaki.
[19:45] ---
    Hey.
[19:46] ---
    Huh?
[19:49] ---
    H-How long have you been there?
[19:51] ---
    Since before you called me a weirdo.
[19:54] ---
    Aw man!
[19:57] ---
    Is that what you're really like?
[20:00] ---
    That's right.
[20:01] ---
    Well, I guess I don't mind if you know.
[20:04] ---
    I don't think you'll go around
    telling everyone.
[20:06] ---
    Why are you keeping up the act?
[20:08] ---
    Well, everyone has expectations
[20:10] ---
    of what a princess should be like, right?
[20:12] ---
    And I'm kinda responsible
    for representing my nation.
[20:15] ---
    Sounds like being a royal is a real drag.
[20:18] ---
    Well, yeah.
[20:20] ---
    Also, if I don't do this, I'll—
[20:23] ---
    Huh?
[20:24] ---
    Oh, it's nothing!
[20:26] ---
    Well, anyway, it's fun here!
[20:29] ---
    Things are much more stifling
    back in my nation.
[20:33] ---
    These classes and everything
    are all new to me.
[20:37] ---
    Aren't you having fun at the Academy?
[20:41] ---
    I'm...
[20:43] ---
    By the way, what do you have there?
[20:45] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[20:47] ---
    This is a...
[20:51] ---
    Move away from him, Miss Kae!
[20:54] ---
    Eiki?!
[20:55] ---
    Taking Miss Kae
    to such a desolate location!
[20:58] ---
    What were you planning to do?!
[20:59] ---
    Huh? You've got the wrong idea.
SIGN    MONSTER
[21:04] ---
    No excuses!
[21:05] ---
    I shall defeat you with the power
    of this Summoning Scroll!
[21:08] ---
    A Summoning?!
[21:10] ---
    Stop! You can't use it unless you
    enter into a contract with it!
[21:12] ---
    Remember what we learned in class?!
[21:13] ---
    It's fine!
[21:14] ---
    I'm an elite member of the Fuuma Clan!
[21:24] ---
    Eiki!
[21:25] ---
    What did he think would happen?!
[21:36] ---
    Hold on tight!
[21:47] ---
    Amazing!
[21:55] ---
    Th-Thank you.
[21:57] ---
    Missions like this are so much easier for me.
[22:00] ---
    Huh?
[22:01] ---
    It's nothing.
[22:03] ---
    Kawaki... exactly, who are you?
[22:07] ---
    I just want to be your friend.
[22:11] ---
    Is this for me?
[22:14] ---
    You don't want it?
[22:16] ---
    Hmm...
[22:17] ---
    If you promise me that
    you won't reveal my true self,
[22:21] ---
    then sure, I'll become your friend!
[22:22] ---
    Tsk! Another secret?!
[22:27] ---
    Got it.
[22:28] ---
    Then I look forward to
    getting to know you, Kawaki!
[22:32] ---
    By the way...
[22:34] ---
    He should wake up eventually.
[22:39] ---
    Milady, are you satisfied with
    your time at the Academy?
[22:43] ---
    Yes, I'm enjoying myself!
[22:47] ---
    Did something good happen?
[22:50] ---
    Does it seem that way?
[22:52] ---
    To tell you the truth, I made a friend.
[22:54] ---
    I'm glad to hear that.
[22:57] ---
    This will be the last time I'll be free,
[23:00] ---
    so I want to enjoy myself.
[23:04] ---
    How's the mission going?
[23:06] ---
    There are no issues.
[23:08] ---
    I was able to get close to Kae nicely.
[23:09] ---
    Oh? Are you friends now?
[23:11] ---
    I'm only pretending to be,
    so I can protect her, right?
[23:15] ---
    Well, aside from the mission,
[23:17] ---
    there are a lot of things
[23:18] ---
    you can learn at the Academy, ya know.
[23:20] ---
    With those low-level training exercises?
[23:23] ---
    You'll get it eventually.
[23:34] ---
    A secret mission!
[23:36] ---
    So, that's what it was!
[23:40] ---
    A tea party, huh?
[23:41] ---
    What a drag, but I guess
    I just have to go along with it.
[23:44] ---
    Don't be like that!
[23:45] ---
    There are set things like manners
    that you have to follow!
