WRITTEN TEST
**[00:13] ---**
WRITTEN TEST
Okay, time's up!
**[00:14] ---**
WRITTEN TEST
**[00:15] ---**
WRITTEN TEST
Pencils down!
**[00:17] ---**
I'll be collecting your tests.
**[00:18] ---**
SHINOBI
**[00:21] ---**
That was perfect, Denki!
**[00:23] ---**
You saved my butt!
**[00:25] ---**
If you hadn't distracted Sensei,
**[00:28] ---**
I wouldn't have been able to steal
the test questions so easily.
**[00:31] ---**
Security's lax,
**[00:33] ---**
but there's always someone
in the teachers' lounge.
**[00:36] ---**
Is that what you guys were up to?
**[00:38] ---**
Isn't that cheating?
**[00:39] ---**
Are you serious?
**[00:42] ---**
A week ago, Shino Sensei…
**[00:45] ---**
*Check the exam questions*
**[00:46] ---**
*and figure out your strategy.*
**[00:48] ---**
…told us to!
**[00:50] ---**
Basically, he told us to
steal the questions
**[00:53] ---**
from the teachers' lounge
during that time, right?
**[00:56] ---**
They're testing our skills
as ninja to collect intel.
**[01:00] ---**
Though it's all a drag…
**[01:02] ---**
Is that what he meant?
**[01:03] ---**
I totally wasn't listening.
**[01:07] ---**
Are you gonna be okay, Boruto?
**[01:08] ---**
You took the exam without
doing anything, right?
**[01:11] ---**
It was easy!
**[01:12] ---**
I didn't even need to study
for a test like that.
**[01:16] ---**
You're awesome, Boruto!
**[01:17] ---**
But I'm not going to lose.
**[01:19] ---**
I'm going to go all out on
**[01:21] ---**
the practical application
exam tomorrow!
**[01:24] ---**
Uh… I'm starting to get
nervous right now.
**[01:27] ---**
I wonder what the practical
application exam is going to be about?
**[01:29] ---**
It's probably gonna be tough.
**[01:32] ---**
No need to get so scared.
**[01:34] ---**
A test isn't a big deal anyways.
**[01:36] ---**
In any case, it's probably not
going to be that hard.
**[01:38] ---**
Let's wrap this up and
become ninja already!
**[01:50] ---**
Boruto Uzumaki got a perfect score, eh?
**[01:53] ---**
He's quite a kid.
**[01:54] ---**
Lord Sixth! When did you—?!
**[01:56] ---**
Though… I think he's a bit
too confident.
**[03:33] ---**
*The Graduation Exam Begins!*
**[03:37] ---**
Coordinated Light Formation!
**[03:41] ---**
Oh…what?
**[03:42] ---**
What are you doing?
**[03:44] ---**
Oh, I was just testing
my Sealing Jutsu.
**[03:48] ---**
You're lacking enough chakra…
**[03:51] ---**
I guess I can't use it
during a real battle.
**[03:53] ---**
Denki!
**[03:56] ---**
Huh? Sorry, Iwabe!
**[03:58] ---**
Everyone looks pretty carefree…
**[04:04] ---**
Sh-Shino Sensei!
**[04:07] ---**
I'm going to explain the rules for
the final practical application exam.
**[04:11] ---**
First, tie this white bandana
around your head.
**[04:16] ---**
It represents your life.
**[04:19] ---**
If it's taken from you, you fail.
**[04:22] ---**
The exam will be conducted as
an actual combat situation.
**[04:25] ---**
The arena is this entire forest.
**[04:27] ---**
You will be battling us.
**[04:30] ---**
And the time limit is 24 hours.
**[04:34] ---**
By the way, this target is just
like your bandana.
**[04:39] ---**
If you destroy it,
**[04:41] ---**
we will not be able to fight.
**[04:43] ---**
What?
**[04:44] ---**
We have to fight Shino Sensei
and the others for the exam?
**[04:46] ---**
This is gonna be easy!
**[04:48] ---**
But don't we have to watch out
for Konohamaru Sensei?
**[04:51] ---**
Isn't he aiming to
become the Hokage?
**[04:53] ---**
Oh really?
**[04:54] ---**
Then it's not a big deal at all.
**[04:56] ---**
And these bandanas and
targets are only in the way.
**[05:00] ---**
Let's just fight regularly.
**[05:03] ---**
Then we can't use discretion, can we?
**[05:11] ---**
Lord Sixth!
**[05:13] ---**
Old Man Kakashi!
**[05:15] ---**
Hey, Boruto!
**[05:20] ---**
Call me Lord Sixth when
we're with the others…
**[05:24] ---**
I know it's a bother to do, though…
**[05:25] ---**
S-Sure.
**[05:27] ---**
What are you doing here,
Old Man Lord Sixth?
**[05:31] ---**
What am I doing?
**[05:33] ---**
Well, I'm the proctor.
**[05:35] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:37] ---**
Lord Sixth is the proctor?!
**[05:39] ---**
You're kidding, right?
**[05:40] ---**
You came to test how
strong I am, huh?
**[05:43] ---**
This is awesome!
**[05:44] ---**
The Hidden Leaf's famous
child genius
**[05:46] ---**
who became a jonin at age 12!
**[05:48] ---**
The Sixth Hokage who forged peace
after the Great Ninja War...
**[05:51] ---**
And he's going to be our proctor?!
**[05:52] ---**
I think this is going to
turn out to be a drag…
**[05:55] ---**
Calm down, guys!
**[05:57] ---**
Old Man Kakashi's already retired!
**[06:00] ---**
Like I said, call me, Lord Sixth.
**[06:02] ---**
He's not our enemy, ya know!
**[06:05] ---**
I know all about you guys too.
**[06:08] ---**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[06:10] ---**
I know that you're the group
of troublemakers.
**[06:13] ---**
That's why I became the proctor.
**[06:16] ---**
We can't let troublemakers
become shinobi.
**[06:20] ---**
Huh?
**[06:22] ---**
Let me repeat,
**[06:23] ---**
we don't need troublemakers.
**[06:27] ---**
I'll be watching.
**[06:28] ---**
Whether you have what it takes to become
a worthy shinobi or not.
**[06:33] ---**
Let's see... First…
**[06:38] ---**
If you can take this bell away
from me, you'll pass.
**[06:41] ---**
How's that?
**[06:42] ---**
By the way, headbands and targets
are only for clarifying decisions.
**[06:48] ---**
We don't want to go overboard
and end up killing someone.
**[06:54] ---**
Sounds like fun.
**[06:56] ---**
We'll show you what we're made of!
**[06:59] ---**
I'd like to ask a question…
**[07:03] ---**
There's one bell for
each participant, right?
**[07:05] ---**
Nope, there isn't.
**[07:07] ---**
I'm saying there just this one bell.
That's all.
**[07:11] ---**
Wait a second!
**[07:13] ---**
Does that mean you're only
gonna pass one person?!
**[07:16] ---**
You can quit if you don't like it.
**[07:19] ---**
Although that will be
an automatic fail.
**[07:21] ---**
In this day and age,
we have enough personnel.
**[07:24] ---**
It's not a big deal if
no one passes.
**[07:29] ---**
How can you do something
so messed up?
**[07:31] ---**
What's messed up about it?
**[07:34] ---**
That's because, in a real battle,
**[07:36] ---**
there's no way to predict what
you'll come up against.
**[07:40] ---**
Don't forget…
**[07:41] ---**
In the world that
you're striving to enter,
**[07:45] ---**
one mistake can mean death.
**[07:47] ---**
That's the reality.
**[07:49] ---**
The Sensei are being scary…
**[07:52] ---**
We will be acting as
Lord Sixth's bodyguards.
**[07:55] ---**
To get to Lord Sixth,
you must get through us.
**[07:59] ---**
We don't plan on making it
easy for you.
**[08:02] ---**
And there you have it.
**[08:04] ---**
We're not going to
hold back either...
**[08:05] ---**
so, come at us with
intent to kill.
**[08:10] ---**
Show us your resolve.
**[08:13] ---**
Are you sure what about you said?
**[08:16] ---**
Yeah, because there's no way
I'll lose to schoolkids
**[08:21] ---**
who just pal around and
refuse to grow up.
**[08:27] ---**
You have 24 hours starting now.
**[08:30] ---**
On your mark…
**[08:31] ---**
No need for that!
**[08:33] ---**
I'll settle this…
right now!
**[08:42] ---**
Good grief…
**[08:44] ---**
Like father, like son.
You're so impatient.
**[08:46] ---**
Never mind.
We start now.
**[08:52] ---**
What are we gonna do?
**[08:55] ---**
They're making fun of us!
**[08:56] ---**
Hey, wait!
**[08:58] ---**
Who just pals around?
Yeah right!
**[09:01] ---**
I won't let you get away!
**[09:10] ---**
I'm gonna become
a ninja this year, for sure!
**[09:12] ---**
I'm determined too,
and we're not gonna lose!
**[09:15] ---**
You two are great rivals!
**[09:18] ---**
I won't lose either!
**[09:27] ---**
Enko, they're going ahead.
**[09:29] ---**
Aren't we going after them?
**[09:31] ---**
You say that,
**[09:32] ---**
but you want to use Iwabe and
the others as a diversion,
**[09:35] ---**
to preserve your energy.
**[09:37] ---**
Well, that won't work. Houki!
**[09:39] ---**
What did you say?
**[09:41] ---**
Like I'd pull a cheap trick
like that!
**[09:43] ---**
We'll see about that.
**[09:45] ---**
Let's get after them!
**[09:47] ---**
Damn…
**[09:50] ---**
Wait, Doshu!
**[09:55] ---**
Going after Lord Sixth blindly
will only end badly.
**[09:58] ---**
We first have to figure out
a strategy to get the bell first.
**[10:02] ---**
But, but…
**[10:03] ---**
What do we do if someone gets
to Lord Sixth first?
**[10:07] ---**
There's only one bell.
**[10:09] ---**
That's…
**[10:11] ---**
Just think about that when
we come up against him.
**[10:15] ---**
Boruto!
**[10:16] ---**
It's just an exam.
**[10:18] ---**
Don't be so serious.
**[10:20] ---**
If it doesn't work out,
**[10:21] ---**
we'll just have to practice more
or take a make-up exam. That's all.
**[10:25] ---**
That's so like you, Boruto.
**[10:26] ---**
Mitsuki!
**[10:27] ---**
But it's a fact that from the moment
Lord Sixth said start,
**[10:30] ---**
everyone's gone off on their own.
**[10:34] ---**
Even Shikadai's not here.
**[10:37] ---**
It just may be the case that
we can't just do anything we choose.
**[10:42] ---**
You planted a GPS
on the Lord Sixth!
**[10:44] ---**
Good job, Shikadai!
**[10:46] ---**
It's a drag to use more energy
than necessary.
**[10:50] ---**
I feel bad for Boruto, but this time,
we've got to act on our own.
**[10:54] ---**
My mom and dad will nag if
I don't make it as a ninja.
**[10:59] ---**
That's why we just have
to go with what will work.
**[11:02] ---**
The Ino-Shika-Cho goes
back a long time, doesn't it?
**[11:05] ---**
Huh?
**[11:06] ---**
This is…
**[11:07] ---**
It's really close, huh?
**[11:09] ---**
Partial Expansion Jutsu!
**[11:20] ---**
A bug!
**[11:21] ---**
They got us.
**[11:22] ---**
This is bad.
**[11:24] ---**
We fell for the Sensei's strategy
to separate us.
**[11:34] ---**
Hey, something hasn't felt
right since earlier, huh?
**[11:37] ---**
You sense it too?
**[11:40] ---**
You're right.
**[11:41] ---**
I think I've seen
this giant tree before.
**[11:46] ---**
Such easy pickings
when they're scattered.
**[11:48] ---**
One genjutsu complete!
**[11:56] ---**
Guys, this is an individual exam.
**[11:59] ---**
And you're saying that…
**[12:00] ---**
because your aim is to
separate all of us, right?
**[12:04] ---**
At least in the beginning,
**[12:05] ---**
it's more effective if we work
together to get rid of obstacles.
**[12:10] ---**
And, Anko Sensei…
**[12:11] ---**
Sweets have nothing to do
with the exam.
**[12:14] ---**
Oh, but please let me
have the bell, okay!
**[12:16] ---**
This isn't time to talk
about that, chubs!
**[12:21] ---**
So, I'm gonna have to deal
with the weaklings?
**[12:24] ---**
They really underestimated me.
**[12:30] ---**
Anko Sensei's battling over there.
**[12:32] ---**
Yeah, we've gotta find Lord Sixth
as soon as we can.
**[12:34] ---**
Yeah, early bird gets the worm, right?
**[12:38] ---**
Yeah!
**[12:44] ---**
What was that?
**[12:53] ---**
The early bird gets
the worm or not…
**[12:56] ---**
Did you think you'd get past us
that easily, hey?
**[13:01] ---**
Anyway… Here comes
the second wave.
**[13:12] ---**
Big Bro Konohamaru!
**[13:14] ---**
Call me Sensei, hey!
**[13:28] ---**
You don't seem to understand
what Lord Sixth said!
**[13:33] ---**
I'll show you what
a real battle is like.
**[13:40] ---**
Hey! Wait, Boruto!
**[13:41] ---**
Where are you going, hey?!
**[13:43] ---**
As if I'd wait!
**[13:45] ---**
I don't waste time
on low-scoring points,
**[13:46] ---**
or troublesome word problems!
**[13:49] ---**
Don't you know the first thing
about exams?!
**[13:52] ---**
Are you treating me like
a word problem, hey?!
**[13:55] ---**
My target is only Old Man Kakashi
for the passing score!
**[13:59] ---**
Damn it. He really knows all
the tricks of the trade…
**[14:03] ---**
Well? Don't you need to go with him?
**[14:06] ---**
If it was the correct thing to do,
**[14:08] ---**
you wouldn't have allowed Boruto
to pass so easily.
**[14:11] ---**
Well, as expected,
**[14:13] ---**
you seem to understand better
than Boruto. But—!
**[14:16] ---**
Let's do this, Class Rep!
**[14:18] ---**
Right!
**[14:25] ---**
Hey, how are we gonna
find Lord Sixth?
**[14:28] ---**
I don't know, but right now…
**[14:31] ---**
I'm gonna search from
the top of the highest tree.
**[14:38] ---**
Wind Style: Breakthrough.
**[14:41] ---**
Whoa!
**[14:43] ---**
Lord Sixth is up ahead.
**[14:46] ---**
If you want to pass,
you must take me down first.
**[14:49] ---**
But it will be impossible
to reach him.
**[14:52] ---**
That's because, I—
**[14:53] ---**
Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!
**[14:58] ---**
Boruto, you go on ahead.
**[15:00] ---**
What?!
**[15:01] ---**
Leave this to me.
**[15:03] ---**
Are you sure?
**[15:05] ---**
Yes. I want to battle Sensei.
**[15:07] ---**
Okay, I'm going ahead!
**[15:11] ---**
Hey!
**[15:14] ---**
Let's do this, Shino Sensei.
**[15:21] ---**
All right, so where is Lord Sixth?
**[15:24] ---**
A very carefree
and simplistic method…
**[15:28] ---**
but searching from up high
isn't such a bad idea.
**[15:41] ---**
Shadow Clones, huh?
**[15:45] ---**
Too easy!
**[15:52] ---**
I'm ready, Old Man Kakashi!
**[15:55] ---**
I'm gonna pass the exam!
**[16:19] ---**
Snakes!
**[16:27] ---**
Just like a Special Jonin…
**[16:29] ---**
I guess you're not just some
middle-aged lady who loves sweets.
**[16:32] ---**
You only realized that now?
**[16:34] ---**
Goes to show you shouldn't take
middle-aged ladies for granted!
**[16:39] ---**
Damn it!
**[16:41] ---**
Shikadai!
**[16:47] ---**
Mud Wall!
**[16:55] ---**
When did you all—?
**[16:57] ---**
The genjutsu counter that
you taught us worked perfectly.
**[17:01] ---**
There's nowhere to run.
**[17:03] ---**
Guess you could call it
a reversal of fortune…
**[17:06] ---**
You kids are pretty tough…
**[17:12] ---**
I'm not letting you get past me,
Shino Sensei.
**[17:16] ---**
How unusual…
**[17:17] ---**
You've never shown this
much determination before.
**[17:20] ---**
I thought you weren't too interested
in exams like this.
**[17:23] ---**
That might have been the old me.
**[17:26] ---**
But now, through Boruto,
I've started to see many things.
**[17:31] ---**
At the very least…
**[17:33] ---**
I want to help Boruto,
**[17:35] ---**
pass the exam with him and
become ninja together.
**[17:39] ---**
And one more thing.
**[17:41] ---**
In the beginning,
**[17:42] ---**
I said there was nothing more
that I could learn from you.
**[17:45] ---**
Now I know that you are the one
I must challenge
**[17:47] ---**
with everything I've got.
**[17:49] ---**
It seems…
**[17:51] ---**
I'll need to get
a bit more serious here.
**[18:07] ---**
The Sharingan, huh?
**[18:09] ---**
So, you'd already awakened it?
**[18:11] ---**
But it looks like you still
haven't mastered using it.
**[18:14] ---**
Summoning!
**[18:18] ---**
What is this thing?!
**[18:20] ---**
Sarada!
**[18:22] ---**
Thanks.
**[18:23] ---**
Lightning Style!
**[18:27] ---**
Be careful!
**[18:28] ---**
Konohamaru Sensei's true power
is nothing like this.
**[18:32] ---**
Nue, huh?
**[18:33] ---**
It's much smaller than
the last time I saw it,
**[18:36] ---**
but it's still nasty.
**[18:38] ---**
Whether it's the Sharingan or Nue…
**[18:41] ---**
they're more troublesome
than I imagined, hey.
**[18:44] ---**
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[18:49] ---**
Did Naruto teach you
the Shadow Clone?
**[18:52] ---**
You think I'd ask for anything
from that stupid old man?
**[19:07] ---**
You used Substitution to
switch places with my clone?!
**[19:10] ---**
You and your father are so alike.
**[19:13] ---**
We are not!
**[19:28] ---**
You're pretty good.
**[19:37] ---**
I didn't think you'd get this far.
**[19:39] ---**
I must say, you are his son.
**[19:43] ---**
You say that,
**[19:44] ---**
but you still have your insects
that you haven't used.
**[19:48] ---**
Anyway, it makes no difference to me.
**[19:51] ---**
Well, I can't kill
my own student, can I?
**[19:54] ---**
Anyway, there's more to the exam.
**[19:57] ---**
Go on ahead.
**[19:58] ---**
Yes.
**[19:59] ---**
But Boruto might have
already settled this.
**[20:03] ---**
That's not possible.
**[20:05] ---**
The reason is because,
Lord Sixth is not lenient.
**[20:12] ---**
To have come this far before
even graduating from the Academy…
**[20:17] ---**
Even in my eyes,
you're a cut above the rest.
**[20:21] ---**
A real genius.
**[20:23] ---**
You finally get it?
**[20:25] ---**
But it's no good.
**[20:29] ---**
You are not suited
to become a ninja.
**[20:31] ---**
What?!
**[20:33] ---**
You lack one decisive element.
**[20:37] ---**
I don't wanna hear
a lecture from you!
**[20:42] ---**
If I take that bell from you,
I pass, right?
**[20:47] ---**
Of course.
**[20:49] ---**
Here we go!
**[20:50] ---**
Yeah!
**[20:51] ---**
– Wind Style! Gale Palm!
– Wind Style! Gale Palm!
**[20:53] ---**
– Take this… Lethal…
– Take this… Lethal…
**[20:54] ---**
Boruto Stream!
**[21:09] ---**
It's mine!
**[21:17] ---**
Not again!
**[21:21] ---**
You hid the real you underground,
to lure me out with clones…
**[21:26] ---**
You almost got the bell.
**[21:34] ---**
Taijutsu, ninjutsu…
**[21:36] ---**
You excel all around,
and are a cut above the rest.
**[21:39] ---**
You have the skills of a genin…
**[21:41] ---**
no, you have the skill level
of a chunin.
**[21:44] ---**
Ouch!
**[21:45] ---**
And that's the reason why,
this is the end of the line for you.
**[21:49] ---**
Damn it!
**[23:25] ---**
You can't just become a ninja.
**[23:27] ---**
That is, unless you have resolve.
**[23:29] ---**
How would you know
anything about me?!
**[23:32] ---**
I know plenty.
**[23:33] ---**
This year's Academy students
are horrible.
**[23:36] ---**
They underestimate what a ninja is.
**[23:37] ---**
It must be your influence on them.
**[23:40] ---**
That's—?!
**[23:41] ---**
Me?
**[23:42] ---**
Next time on Boruto
Naruto Next Generations:
**[23:46] ---**
"A Shinobi's Resolve"
**[23:48] ---**
I just can't acknowledge
this group as ninja.
