**[00:15] ---**
Do you want me to tell you
**[00:17] ---**
how to get out
of this situation?
**[00:20] ---**
You have to break
your own arm…
**[00:23] ---**
It's probably impossible for
**[00:25] ---**
someone who doesn't have
the motivation to become a ninja.
**[00:28] ---**
Motivation?
**[00:29] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[00:32] ---**
Motivation is well...
having resolve.
**[00:35] ---**
Whether it's for money, for praise,
or for the sake of your parents…
**[00:38] ---**
It doesn't matter.
**[00:40] ---**
But without it, you can't change.
**[00:46] ---**
Even I have…
**[00:49] ---**
You'll become a ninja with everyone
and then figure out something to do…
**[00:52] ---**
Was that right?
**[00:54] ---**
You call that resolve?
**[00:56] ---**
Then what about right now,
when you still haven't figured it out?
**[01:00] ---**
Would you be able to trample
over them to become a ninja,
**[01:03] ---**
just yourself?
**[01:05] ---**
It's hard to answer
a question like that, isn't it?
**[01:09] ---**
But things like that often happen.
**[01:11] ---**
And that's when what ultimately
sustains a ninja is born…
**[01:15] ---**
Resolve comes from motivation.
**[01:18] ---**
Sure, you're willing,
and you have the talent.
**[01:20] ---**
But that's just not enough.
**[01:23] ---**
And that's even more
so if you don't have resolve.
**[01:28] ---**
How would you know
anything about me?
**[01:31] ---**
I know plenty.
**[01:33] ---**
I got a good look at you up close.
**[03:14] ---**
*A Shinobi's Resolve*
**[03:16] ---**
*A Shinobi's Resolve*
You're—!
**[03:22] ---**
I just took a page from your book
and pranked you.
**[03:26] ---**
Anyway, this year's Academy
students are horrible.
**[03:34] ---**
What?
**[03:35] ---**
There are ones among you,
who more or less,
**[03:37] ---**
have some resolve,
but even so…
**[03:40] ---**
They underestimate what a ninja is.
**[03:43] ---**
It must be your influence on them.
**[03:47] ---**
The severity of being a ninja…
**[03:51] ---**
The unfairness that awaits…
**[03:54] ---**
You haven't even begun
to imagine it.
**[03:58] ---**
I just can't acknowledge
this group as ninja.
**[04:03] ---**
Because if you get
into a real battle,
**[04:05] ---**
you'll all be slaughtered.
**[04:07] ---**
I'll ask you again…
**[04:09] ---**
Can you break your own arm,
**[04:11] ---**
just so that you can find
a reason to become a ninja?
**[04:15] ---**
I guess no one passes this year…
**[04:19] ---**
There's no need for any of you
to return to the Academy.
**[04:23] ---**
Find another path.
**[04:31] ---**
Just think of it as part of the severity
in becoming a ninja…
**[04:35] ---**
Damn it!
**[04:41] ---**
Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!
**[05:11] ---**
They got me…
**[05:14] ---**
But what's your next move, Boruto?
**[05:33] ---**
I don't detect the Sensei close by.
**[05:36] ---**
I guess we were able
to get away for now.
**[05:38] ---**
Are you okay?
**[05:39] ---**
I-I'm okay,
so go take care of Mitsuki.
**[05:48] ---**
Don't worry!
**[05:50] ---**
Wasabi's really good
at Medical Ninjutsu.
**[05:52] ---**
Although they tell me
I'm not cut out for it.
**[05:56] ---**
Thanks, Wasabi.
**[05:58] ---**
Damn it…
**[05:59] ---**
So, this is the severe part
of being a ninja?
**[06:06] ---**
*Let's wrap this up*
*and become ninja already!*
**[06:10] ---**
Guys… I'm sorry.
**[06:13] ---**
This could be all my fault.
**[06:16] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[06:18] ---**
I thought that we could
all become ninja together,
**[06:22] ---**
then I could figure out
what I wanted to do.
**[06:25] ---**
But it seems that's just
not good enough.
**[06:29] ---**
Is that why you couldn't protest?
**[06:33] ---**
I-I…couldn't break my own arm.
**[06:37] ---**
Your arm?!
**[06:38] ---**
Old Man Kakashi said
our class was horrible,
**[06:41] ---**
and that it was all because of me.
**[06:45] ---**
Why you—!
**[06:46] ---**
Iwabe!
**[06:47] ---**
D-Don't fight…
**[06:50] ---**
W-What?
**[06:54] ---**
Turning on each other is exactly
what they're aiming for.
**[06:57] ---**
Shut up! I'm not picking a fight!
**[07:00] ---**
What the hell are you
going on about?!
**[07:02] ---**
We're weak because of you?
**[07:05] ---**
Quit looking down on us!
**[07:07] ---**
I'm saying this to you and Lord Sixth!
**[07:10] ---**
If it weren't for you, Boruto…
**[07:13] ---**
I'd still be in the corner
of the classroom,
**[07:15] ---**
expecting to stay back another year,
and sulking over it.
**[07:19] ---**
It's because of you,
that I got this far.
**[07:22] ---**
All that and you're still
looking down on me?!
**[07:26] ---**
I've made up my mind now.
**[07:28] ---**
I'm going to become a ninja,
no matter what.
**[07:31] ---**
You helped me get this far,
**[07:33] ---**
and I'm not going to give you
a chance to put me down!
**[07:35] ---**
Right?
**[07:36] ---**
Yup.
**[07:38] ---**
I wouldn't be here now,
if it weren't for you.
**[07:45] ---**
Me too.
**[07:48] ---**
If you weren't here,
**[07:50] ---**
I know I wouldn't be alive
right now either.
**[07:53] ---**
This time, I want to repay you,
and the others,
**[07:56] ---**
with my life and with my power.
**[07:59] ---**
That's why…
I'm going to become a ninja!
**[08:02] ---**
Our entire class…
is full of good people.
**[08:07] ---**
You have a big mouth,
but you put us first,
**[08:10] ---**
and did everything you could
to help us escape.
**[08:15] ---**
You're the nucleus of
this class, Boruto.
**[08:18] ---**
That's for sure,
even though I hate to admit it.
**[08:21] ---**
We all look up to you…
and you think that's bad?
**[08:27] ---**
But…I…
**[08:33] ---**
Mitsuki! Are you okay?!
**[08:36] ---**
I'll manage…
**[08:38] ---**
Sorry, Mitsuki.
**[08:41] ---**
Why are you apologizing?
**[08:44] ---**
I did this because I wanted to.
**[08:51] ---**
I actually did something
for someone else…
**[08:54] ---**
If I hadn't been observing you,
**[08:56] ---**
it would never have
crossed my mind.
**[08:58] ---**
And now that I have,
it's pretty fun.
**[09:01] ---**
And so what if I got hurt
in the process, it's no big deal.
**[09:05] ---**
Mitsuki…
**[09:11] ---**
You're strong.
**[09:14] ---**
You think so?
**[09:22] ---**
All right, I've made up my mind!
**[09:23] ---**
I…
**[09:25] ---**
I'm gonna become a ninja
so that we can stay together!
**[09:29] ---**
All right, let's do it!
**[09:31] ---**
Let's make Lord Sixth
take back everything!
**[09:33] ---**
But how?
**[09:35] ---**
Aren't we all out?
**[09:38] ---**
About that…
**[09:41] ---**
I was thinking it was strange…
**[09:43] ---**
Why is there a 24-hour time limit?
**[09:47] ---**
As long as we have
our bandanas,
**[09:50] ---**
shouldn't we be able
to keep trying, right?
**[09:53] ---**
Come to think of it,
**[09:55] ---**
we didn't get our bandanas
taken away when they got us.
**[09:58] ---**
Yeah, even when we all
lost consciousness.
**[10:01] ---**
And although we were wounded,
they didn't come after us.
**[10:05] ---**
Maybe everyone's still in…
**[10:08] ---**
I'm positive we're okay.
**[10:11] ---**
How can you be so sure?
**[10:13] ---**
This is a test of our "resolve."
**[10:16] ---**
But all the Sensei said
this isn't an ordinary exam.
**[10:20] ---**
We forgot because we focused
on the practical application part.
**[10:22] ---**
That's how trick questions work.
**[10:25] ---**
It's not the problem, but how we
choose to answer that's important.
**[10:29] ---**
This isn't an ordinary exam.
**[10:32] ---**
This is all for our sake…
**[10:34] ---**
The early bird gets the worm…
**[10:36] ---**
And…
**[10:38] ---**
There's one bell.
**[10:39] ---**
Which means…
**[10:41] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:42] ---**
We're all gonna pass together!
**[10:50] ---**
I wonder if Boruto and
the others will come?
**[10:52] ---**
Hmm…
**[10:53] ---**
We're making it so easy
for them to understand.
**[10:56] ---**
If they don't come to
rescue them, everyone fails.
**[10:59] ---**
Yes, you're right.
**[11:01] ---**
We'll stand guard over these students.
**[11:03] ---**
Lord Sixth, please go relax and
**[11:05] ---**
read "Make-Out Paradise"
or something.
**[11:07] ---**
I've read it so many times,
I've practically memorized it.
**[11:22] ---**
*It's probably a trap.*
**[11:23] ---**
*But since you're here too, Anko Sensei,*
*shall we indulge them?*
**[11:29] ---**
They're here.
**[11:37] ---**
Nue?!
**[11:38] ---**
Nue…
**[11:44] ---**
*First, we'll rescue everyone*
*and recoup our strength!*
**[11:51] ---**
– Uh-huh.
– Yeah.
**[12:06] ---**
*Metal and Wasabi,*
*you're the fastest in our class!*
**[12:10] ---**
*Distract them with your speed!*
**[12:14] ---**
Let's do this, Metal!
**[12:15] ---**
TORTOISESHELL
**[12:17] ---**
Ninja Art: Cat Cloak!
**[12:20] ---**
STRAY TABBY
**[12:28] ---**
Meow!
**[12:31] ---**
Leaf…Hurricane!
**[12:40] ---**
Pretty fast.
**[12:49] ---**
I knew it…
She was a clone.
**[12:52] ---**
*Namida, your jutsu will be*
*our secret weapon.*
**[12:55] ---**
*I know it'll work great!*
**[12:57] ---**
I don't have that kind of power!
**[13:01] ---**
Oh? What are you sneaking
around here for?
**[13:09] ---**
Nue!
**[13:21] ---**
Wasabi! I was so scared!
**[13:24] ---**
I barely missed getting hit with that!
**[13:28] ---**
Thanks for saving us!
**[13:30] ---**
Why wouldn't we?
It's just something you do!
**[13:33] ---**
So? How are Sarada and the others?
**[13:36] ---**
I'm sure they're okay.
**[13:47] ---**
There are two of you,
and that's all you've got?
**[13:57] ---**
Is that it, Boruto?
**[14:00] ---**
The Coordinated Light Formation, eh?
**[14:02] ---**
Cha!
**[14:13] ---**
Sorry, Denki.
**[14:15] ---**
Your opponent is Boruto's…
**[14:19] ---**
When did that happen?!
**[14:20] ---**
You were careless…
**[14:23] ---**
Big Bro Konohamaru!
**[14:27] ---**
Transformation Jutsu…
**[14:29] ---**
But how did my target get…?
**[14:34] ---**
Oh!
**[14:35] ---**
A genjutsu?!
**[14:37] ---**
Yes.
**[14:38] ---**
Although I wasn't sure
**[14:39] ---**
if it would work on you,
Konohamaru Sensei.
**[14:42] ---**
That's 'cuz you kept focusing on me.
**[14:47] ---**
You got me!
**[14:49] ---**
Leave it to the Sharingan,
**[14:50] ---**
and the craftiness you inherited
from Lord Seventh, eh.
**[14:53] ---**
Hey!
**[14:55] ---**
Since you're here, Tsuru,
I guess the guys pulled it off.
**[14:59] ---**
Yup. Everyone's looking
for Lord Sixth now.
**[15:03] ---**
All right!
**[15:04] ---**
Let's go get 'im together!
**[15:13] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting,
Old Man Kakashi!
**[15:16] ---**
Look, I told you to
call me Lord Sixth!
**[15:20] ---**
So, what is it this time?
**[15:22] ---**
You've got your Shadow Clones out…
**[15:24] ---**
I'm gonna do this!
**[15:28] ---**
Good grief…
**[15:36] ---**
I believe four was your limit, right?
**[15:41] ---**
Hey, hold it… hold it…
**[15:42] ---**
What is this?!
**[15:44] ---**
– It's now or never!
– It's now or never!
**[15:51] ---**
Transformation Jutsu?!
**[15:57] ---**
I see…
**[16:03] ---**
You did surprise me a little,
but it's still a childish trick.
**[16:07] ---**
It's just unexpected, is all.
**[16:16] ---**
You guys are still hopeless.
**[16:18] ---**
– We're not done yet!
– We're not done yet!
**[16:25] ---**
Did you guys listen to anything I said?
**[16:28] ---**
We get it!
**[16:29] ---**
No, you don't. Not one bit.
**[16:34] ---**
As it is, you're not compensating
**[16:35] ---**
for the differences in
your individual strengths.
**[16:37] ---**
You're still scattered.
**[16:40] ---**
Did you think all you had
to do to defeat me
**[16:42] ---**
was to attack at once?
**[16:45] ---**
Don't underestimate a shinobi.
**[16:47] ---**
You're the one
who's underestimating us!
**[16:49] ---**
I guess a crushing defeat
is the only solution.
**[16:54] ---**
Do it now!
**[17:01] ---**
A Sealing Barrier?!
**[17:03] ---**
It's a Multi-Coordinated Light Formation.
**[17:07] ---**
I see…
**[17:08] ---**
You lured me here as we fought.
**[17:11] ---**
You got that right.
**[17:13] ---**
Well?
**[17:14] ---**
Isn't it a pretty powerful Sealing Jutsu?
**[17:27] ---**
Hurry! Get the bell…
**[17:29] ---**
It won't hold any longer!
**[17:31] ---**
Boruto, please!
**[17:33] ---**
I know, ya know!
**[17:37] ---**
Uh-oh, this isn't good…
**[17:39] ---**
Purple Lightning!
**[17:46] ---**
I think I overdid it a little…
**[17:54] ---**
There's no way
I'm gonna sit back
**[17:57] ---**
while you look down
on my friends!
**[17:59] ---**
I'm gonna become a ninja!
**[18:02] ---**
Me too!
**[18:04] ---**
Same here!
**[18:06] ---**
Me too.
**[18:07] ---**
And me.
**[18:08] ---**
Same here!
**[18:09] ---**
Me too!
**[18:10] ---**
– Me too.
– Me too.
**[18:12] ---**
Lately, me too!
**[18:13] ---**
Of course!
**[18:15] ---**
Even though it's a drag!
**[18:17] ---**
I'm going to become the Hokage!
**[18:19] ---**
And I want to keep on
staying here too.
**[18:34] ---**
It's over…
**[18:59] ---**
All right. The genin exams are over.
**[19:03] ---**
You all pass!
**[19:08] ---**
– Huh?!
– Huh?!
**[19:09] ---**
What?
**[19:10] ---**
I said, you all pass!
**[19:12] ---**
What?
**[19:13] ---**
What?
**[19:15] ---**
What's with all the looks?
**[19:18] ---**
But…we didn't get the bell.
**[19:21] ---**
Oh, this?
**[19:23] ---**
It's okay, forget the bell.
**[19:26] ---**
You wouldn't have gotten it anyway,
**[19:28] ---**
even if hell froze over.
**[19:31] ---**
Then, what was that rule
all about anyway?
**[19:34] ---**
The ninja world is severe.
**[19:37] ---**
There are many rules and
laws in the real world.
**[19:40] ---**
And those who break
the rules are called scum.
**[19:43] ---**
But…if you don't value
your comrades,
**[19:46] ---**
you're worse than scum.
**[19:49] ---**
This year's students seem to
understand that very clearly.
**[19:54] ---**
The moment you joined together
and challenged me as one,
**[19:56] ---**
you passed.
**[19:58] ---**
Then, why didn't you say so
right then?
**[20:01] ---**
Well…
**[20:02] ---**
You used that Sealing Jutsu so well,
and I was so impressed…
**[20:06] ---**
I didn't want to stop you.
**[20:11] ---**
In this exam, you failed if
you abandoned your friends.
**[20:15] ---**
If you joined forces with your friends,
you passed.
**[20:18] ---**
That's because in a real mission,
you'll encounter many difficulties.
**[20:23] ---**
And in order to overcome them,
**[20:25] ---**
you must never let your bond
with your comrades waver…
**[20:28] ---**
That resolve is absolutely…
essential…but…
**[20:33] ---**
What's the matter?
I'm almost done here.
**[20:37] ---**
It's okay, Sensei. Keep going.
**[20:41] ---**
We're too tired to even talk.
**[20:44] ---**
Damn it, you guys…
**[20:46] ---**
Anyway, you did well.
**[20:50] ---**
Release!
**[20:53] ---**
You are now genin!
**[21:06] ---**
It's a little early to celebrate…
**[21:09] ---**
How were this year's graduates?
**[21:12] ---**
Well, they have potential.
**[21:16] ---**
They may not be polished,
but they seem to be gutsy.
**[21:20] ---**
That's good.
**[21:23] ---**
By the way…
**[21:25] ---**
you really got carried away
against the students!
**[21:28] ---**
Huh?!
**[21:29] ---**
You're always like that.
**[21:31] ---**
You don't know what moderation is.
**[21:33] ---**
Sorry…
**[21:34] ---**
You know, you should be
a little more considerate
**[21:36] ---**
toward the students…
**[21:37] ---**
Look, I said I'm sorry!
**[21:39] ---**
Listen! In the first place,
you always….
**[21:42] ---**
Did you not hear me say sorry?
**[23:25] ---**
So, what is a three-man squad?
**[23:28] ---**
I-It's a three-man team made
in order to fulfill missions!
**[23:32] ---**
You got half of it right!
**[23:35] ---**
A three-man squad is
a team of comrades,
**[23:36] ---**
who hold each other's lives
in their hands.
**[23:39] ---**
The reason is because
teamwork is the factor
**[23:41] ---**
that distinguishes
between life or death.
**[23:43] ---**
Next time on Boruto
Naruto Next Generations:
**[23:46] ---**
"Formation of the Three-Man Squad?"
**[23:49] ---**
I'll now present the match ups.
**[23:51] ---**
FORMATION OF
THE THREE-MAN SQUAD?
