[00:04] ---
    It's been one week since
    the Byakuya Gang incident,
[00:07] ---
    and things in the village
    have pretty much
[00:09] ---
    settled back down to normal,
    haven't they?
[00:10] ---
    Yeah, and it's all thanks
    to everyone in the village
[00:13] ---
    taking my words to heart.
[00:15] ---
    But the rumors that
    the Byakuya Gang started
[00:17] ---
    caused unrest in the village.
[00:20] ---
    Without a doubt, there are still
    those who are dissatisfied.
[00:22] ---
    I acknowledge that,
[00:23] ---
    and intend to take measures
    to address their concerns.
[00:26] ---
    During this incident,
[00:28] ---
    I understand that the genin
    performed admirably.
[00:32] ---
    Genin usually don't stand out,
    but this time,
[00:34] ---
    our efforts were aided by genin
    who were in the area.
[00:38] ---
    And I'm especially grateful to them.
[00:41] ---
    Oh, is that so?
[00:43] ---
    Why did you ignore my orders?
[00:46] ---
    You are suspended
    until further notice.
[00:48] ---
    So, it's thanks to those genin,
[00:50] ---
    that we have peace and security
    in Hidden Leaf Village?
[00:54] ---
    I finally got through without
    repeating a school year,
[00:56] ---
    and made it as a genin,
    but still…!
[00:59] ---
    And finally, you have news
    about the Chunin Exam.
[01:02] ---
    Yeah, this year's Chunin Exams will
    be held In Hidden Leaf Village.
[01:07] ---
    I want all genin
    to do their best
[01:10] ---
    so that they can participate
    in the Chunin Exams.
[01:12] ---
    The Chunin…Exams?
[01:16] ---
    Oh no! At this rate,
[01:18] ---
    I'll have to repeat again,
    as a genin this time!

    The Genin Documentary
    
    
    
    
    Having to now manage all
    the hamlets far from the village…
    
    
    
[02:55] ---
    your work has suddenly ballooned.
[02:57] ---
    You already have so much
    on your plate.
[03:00] ---
    Never mind me.
[03:02] ---
    How's Shikadai doing?
[03:04] ---
    What?! Why the sudden interest?
[03:06] ---
    Well... As usual, I don't know
    what he's thinking.
[03:10] ---
    But since the incident,
[03:12] ---
    he seems to be studying
    the art of war.
[03:15] ---
    He's starting to take after his dad,
    not just in looks.
[03:20] ---
    I-I'm happy,
    but with mixed feelings…
[03:25] ---
    But with all this going on,
[03:27] ---
    we have to prepare
    for the Chunin Exams…
[03:30] ---
    It's gonna be such a dra—
[03:32] ---
    Hey, c'mon…
[03:33] ---
    The genin are all hyped up
    about it,
[03:35] ---
    so we grown-ups shouldn't
    talk like that.
[03:40] ---
    You've got a point.
[03:44] ---
    NINJA REGISTRATION FORM
    
[03:47] ---
    In any case, we're really
    short-handed right now.
[03:51] ---
    The shortage of genin applicants
    is a serious problem.
[03:54] ---
    I guess, unlike the past…
[03:56] ---
    there are a lot of other career choices
    than being a shinobi these days.
[03:59] ---
    Hmm… I don't really agree with that…
[04:05] ---
    Excuse me.
[04:06] ---
    Oh, you're here, Udon!
[04:08] ---
    Yes.
[04:10] ---
    Your team's still on suspension, right?
[04:13] ---
    Y-Yes, I'm ashamed to admit it.
[04:16] ---
    Well, it's over as of now.
[04:20] ---
    I have the perfect mission
    for them.
[04:23] ---
    I swear…
[04:25] ---
    I'm gonna become a chunin!
[04:27] ---
    There's no way in hell
    I'm gonna repeat again!
[04:31] ---
    Actually, I don't think it's called
    "repeating" at this point anymore.
[04:34] ---
    Besides, the number of applicants
[04:36] ---
    for the Chunin Exam
    is limited every year.
[04:39] ---
    It's not embarrassing at all
[04:40] ---
    even if you don't make it
    the first or second time.
[04:44] ---
    Maybe so…
[04:46] ---
    But I've had it with
    being left behind!
[04:49] ---
    By you guys and the others!
[04:51] ---
    I get it.
[04:53] ---
    Denki!
[04:54] ---
    What do you want to do, Iwabe?
[04:57] ---
    Well…
[04:59] ---
    You have to be recommended by
    the sensei in charge of your team
[05:01] ---
    to be able to participate in
    the Chunin Exams.
[05:05] ---
    We became genin and
    earned our headbands,
[05:08] ---
    but we weren't able to help with
    the Byakuya Gang incident one bit!
[05:13] ---
    – Uh-huh.
    – Yeah.
[05:14] ---
    At this rate,
    we'll never get recommended.
[05:17] ---
    We have to show them
    how good we are, right?!
[05:21] ---
    I-I see…
[05:23] ---
    I-If we don't get to participate
    in the exam…
[05:27] ---
    we'll end up being
    called Team Repeater!
[05:33] ---
    A-Anyway, you guys,
    we're gonna go all out from now!
[05:36] ---
    – Yeah, right!
    – Yeah, right!
[05:39] ---
    JONIN - CHUNIN - GENIN
    INFORMATION & RECEIVING CENTER
[05:42] ---
    All right, Team 7,
    please deliver the items
[05:44] ---
    to the hamlet right
    outside the village.
[05:47] ---
    Gotcha! We'll do this real quick!
[05:50] ---
    Hey, don't make it sound so easy.
[05:53] ---
    But if we don't do this quickly,
[05:56] ---
    the villagers will suffer,
    won't they?
[05:58] ---
    But saying you'll
    "do this real quick" is kinda…
[06:02] ---
    This is different from
    the Byakuya Gang.
[06:04] ---
    We're gonna be helping people.
[06:09] ---
    All right! Let's do this!
[06:11] ---
    – Right!
    – Right!
[06:17] ---
    Hey, long time so see, you guys!
[06:19] ---
    How's your injury, Metal?
[06:21] ---
    Oh yes! I'm as good as new.
[06:23] ---
    I'm glad you've recovered.
[06:25] ---
    Hey, sorry for all the trouble.
[06:27] ---
    I'll do my best from today!
[06:29] ---
    It's your first mission in a while.
    Are you nervous?
[06:33] ---
    Maybe…
[06:34] ---
    We have to put
    our best effort into this.
[06:37] ---
    Hey, Udon!
[06:38] ---
    A mission already?
[06:41] ---
    Hey, Konohamaru…
    Looks that way.
[06:44] ---
    All right, here is your mission,
    Team 5.
[06:49] ---
    Enrollment in the Academy's
    ninjutsu curriculum
[06:51] ---
    has been dropping annually.
[06:52] ---
    So you are all to appear in
    a promotional documentary.
[06:56] ---
    A documentary?
[06:58] ---
    What's with that?
    Ms. Suika, I wanna be in it!
[07:02] ---
    As I said…
[07:03] ---
    Hey, you just said
    you're going to save people…
[07:09] ---
    We're going to set out
    on our mission.
[07:10] ---
    Huh? But…
[07:14] ---
    Fine…
[07:17] ---
    This is an unusual mission.
[07:20] ---
    J-Just to be sure...
[07:22] ---
    We're just coming off
    a suspension.
[07:23] ---
    Are we really qualified to do this?
[07:25] ---
    Yeah, since it's for PR,
[07:27] ---
    shouldn't it be a team
    that's distinguished itself?
[07:30] ---
    Oh, sorry!
[07:31] ---
    I didn't mean it like that…
[07:33] ---
    This is our chance, isn't it?
[07:36] ---
    If we can somehow shine
    in this video,
[07:38] ---
    our reputation's gonna skyrocket!
[07:41] ---
    Oh, I get it!
[07:42] ---
    This really could be our chance!
[07:44] ---
    You guys…
[07:46] ---
    Don't kick up your heels just because
    your suspension's been lifted.
[07:50] ---
    In fact, it's from now
[07:52] ---
    that your true worth as shinobi
    will be questioned.
[07:55] ---
    Of course! And we're going
    to show them with our actions.
[08:02] ---
    E-E-Everyone!
[08:04] ---
    Y-Y-You must not…s-slack off…!
[08:05] ---
    Cut! Cut!
[08:07] ---
    No, no!
[08:08] ---
    We're not filming a drama,
    so be natural. Be yourself!
[08:12] ---
    R-Right! I'm sorry…
[08:15] ---
    Damn it. I have to produce
    something cool here…
[08:19] ---
    Y-Yes, I guess so.
[08:21] ---
    Of course!
    It has to be flashy and cool!
[08:24] ---
    This documentary has to
[08:26] ---
    convey to potential applicants
    the "ideal image of the shinobi."
[08:30] ---
    Right!
[08:31] ---
    Flashy and cool!
[08:33] ---
    I'm counting on you. For real.
[08:36] ---
    Okay, let's roll!
[08:42] ---
    Oh, there you are!
[08:44] ---
    Look, this is gonna be a problem.
[08:46] ---
    What's the matter?
[08:47] ---
    I really don't want to say
    this to you, Captain…
[08:49] ---
    but is there another team
    you can introduce me to?
[08:52] ---
    Huh?
[08:53] ---
    You see, if they're so nervous,
    I just can't film them.
[08:57] ---
    Would you mind talking
    to Lord Hokage?
[09:00] ---
    This team was chosen
    by Lord Hokage personally.
[09:04] ---
    What?!
[09:05] ---
    Oh...
[09:07] ---
    But you know…
[09:10] ---
    They were just taken
    off suspension, right?
[09:14] ---
    I'm a little unsure about this.
[09:15] ---
    That's nothing to worry about.
[09:17] ---
    They're all exceptional shinobi.
[09:20] ---
    R-Really?
[09:21] ---
    Well, since you're their jonin instructor,
    and you say so…
[09:24] ---
    I'll continue filming a little more.
[09:27] ---
    You see, I originally wanted
    to become a ninja…
[09:30] ---
    I mean, jutsus are really cool,
    you know?
[09:37] ---
    Okay, let's try it one more time.
[09:40] ---
    THUNDER BURGER
[09:43] ---
    Hey, cut!
[09:45] ---
    You're still so stiff
[09:48] ---
    I wanted to shoot
    an everyday type of scene…
[09:51] ---
    You just don't seem to
    have that spark.
[09:55] ---
    Listen, can you three do something
    that's more ninja-like or flashy?
[10:00] ---
    O-Of course!
[10:02] ---
    Right?
[10:03] ---
    – Yes!
    – Yes!
[10:06] ---
    Earth Style: Mud Wall!
[10:13] ---
    Wow!
[10:15] ---
    Leaf Hurricane!
[10:18] ---
    Nice!
[10:22] ---
    Denki!
[10:28] ---
    Substitution Jutsu!
[10:31] ---
    Hey, hey…
    Now that's what I call ninja-like!
[10:34] ---
    This is what I've been looking for.
[10:37] ---
    Just a minute!
[10:40] ---
    You're scaring the people
    around you.
[10:48] ---
    Sensei, if you worry
    about things like that,
[10:50] ---
    I'll miss getting cool shots!
[10:53] ---
    A ninja has to be this dramatic
    and spectacular!
[10:57] ---
    This is what captures the eyes
    of potential applicants, right?
[11:00] ---
    I know… We should block traffic
    here for now and…
[11:05] ---
    I've decided we're not able
    to carry out this mission.
[11:08] ---
    I'm very sorry, but please let us
    withdraw from this.
[11:11] ---
    – Huh?
    – Huh?
[11:12] ---
    But that's—!
[11:13] ---
    Hey, you can't do this to me now.
[11:17] ---
    There are lots more scenes
    that I have planned.
[11:22] ---
    Do you guys think that cool shots
    are important for this film too?
[11:27] ---
    W-Well…
[11:29] ---
    If we want kids want to become ninja,
    it's important, right?
[11:33] ---
    That's why showing
    them ninjutsu is…
[11:36] ---
    We're withdrawing from
    this mission, after all.
[11:38] ---
    – Huh?!
    – Huh?!
[11:39] ---
    W-Why?
[11:40] ---
    Okay, fine!
[11:41] ---
    I don't know what
    you're so unhappy about…
[11:44] ---
    But I never wanted dull losers
    who've been suspended either!
[11:52] ---
    I'll request more suitable ninja
    and start over again from scratch.
[11:58] ---
    Seriously, what was
    Lord Hokage thinking?
[12:02] ---
    Selecting kids like you!
[12:03] ---
    We're leaving!
[12:20] ---
    I'll request more suitable ninja
[12:22] ---
    and start over again from scratch.
[12:24] ---
    I'm a ninja too!
[12:26] ---
    How can I keep doing
    stuff like this?!
[12:36] ---
    Damn it!
[12:44] ---
    No! Don't!
[12:47] ---
    D-Damn it...
    What are you doing?!
[12:50] ---
    The headband is the symbol
    that proves you are a ninja…
[12:53] ---
    To throw it away
    means you're quitting!
[12:55] ---
    During the Genin Exams,
    you swore over and over again
[12:58] ---
    that you'd make it as a ninja.
[12:59] ---
    Was that all a lie?!
[13:02] ---
    I haven't tossed it yet!
[13:04] ---
    Stop fighting, guys!
[13:06] ---
    Let go, Denki!
[13:11] ---
    Hold it right there.
[13:16] ---
    Damn it.
[13:18] ---
    You just came out of suspension…
[13:20] ---
    Do you want to go
    through it all over again?
[13:24] ---
    Shut…
[13:25] ---
    Huh?
[13:26] ---
    Iwabe!
[13:27] ---
    Shut up!
[13:29] ---
    How can a teacher
    who's always cool
[13:31] ---
    understand losers like us?!
[13:35] ---
    Cool?
[13:38] ---
    I see…That's right, you guys
    never saw me back then.
[13:44] ---
    Actually…
[13:46] ---
    I was a loser.
[13:52] ---
    The Academy was run
    differently then.
[13:54] ---
    I failed the graduation exam
    several times.
[13:58] ---
    You did, Udon Sensei…?
[14:00] ---
    Even when I became a genin,
    I kept messing up on missions…
[14:03] ---
    and I was a burden to
    Konohamaru and Moegi.
[14:06] ---
    I-I can't believe it…
[14:10] ---
    But…because I was that way,
[14:13] ---
    I realized something.
[14:15] ---
    Until you realize what it is too,
    no more missions.
[14:18] ---
    Okay, let's go and report.
[14:21] ---
    – Yes.
    – Yes.
[14:25] ---
    Do you guys think that cool shots
    are important for this film too?
[14:30] ---
    What did he mean by that?
[14:42] ---
    I was planning to do
    the action shots here,
[14:45] ---
    to bring it to a climax…
[14:47] ---
    But it's all for nothing.
[14:49] ---
    U-Um…
[14:50] ---
    Can we remove the Paper Bombs
    that we set up?
[14:53] ---
    No, it's all ready…
[14:56] ---
    Since it's a condemned building anyway,
[14:58] ---
    maybe we can get
    something usable.
[15:01] ---
    Let's blow it up,
    and get some shots.
[15:13] ---
    What was that?
[15:15] ---
    – What's that?
    – Huh?
[15:18] ---
    Huh?
[15:22] ---
    That was such a small explosion.
[15:26] ---
    Let's do it again.
[15:31] ---
    Just getting the smoke rise
    isn't good footage—
[15:36] ---
    Huh?
[15:38] ---
    H-Hey, look!
[15:45] ---
    Leaf Great Hurricane!
[15:49] ---
    Y-You're…!
[15:52] ---
    Are you hurt?!
[15:54] ---
    Are you okay?
[15:55] ---
    Denki, analyze the situation!
[15:57] ---
    I'm on it!
[16:00] ---
    I'm inside the building's system,
    activating cameras!
[16:04] ---
    Honing in on the center of the crack.
[16:08] ---
    It's not good!
    The roof is about to collapse!
[16:11] ---
    We have to hurry and evacuate!
[16:19] ---
    Iwabe!
[16:20] ---
    Right!
[16:29] ---
    Mister, stay down!
[16:33] ---
    Earth Style! Stone Brick!
[16:53] ---
    A-Amazing!
[16:58] ---
    Sensei! It's dangerous!
[17:00] ---
    We can't handle this.
[17:01] ---
    We have to hurry and get out…
[17:04] ---
    I'll show you
    an interesting jutsu right now.
[17:08] ---
    It's my specialty.
[17:10] ---
    But, just promise not to laugh.
[17:13] ---
    Ninja Art: Dripping Nose!
[17:37] ---
    Huh? What?!
[17:45] ---
    I-It's amazing…
[17:46] ---
    It's snot though…
[17:48] ---
    No, it doesn't matter what it is.
[17:51] ---
    You stopped all this rubble
    in an instant.
[17:55] ---
    Do you guys think that cool shots
    are important for this film too?
[18:00] ---
    I get it now.
[18:01] ---
    That's why Sensei…
[18:06] ---
    We should be okay now.
[18:08] ---
    Doing stuff just to look cool
    doesn't mean it is cool.
[18:12] ---
    What we were taught
    at the Academy
[18:14] ---
    wasn't for the purpose
    of looking cool.
[18:18] ---
    But all we tried to do was show off.
[18:22] ---
    That's so lame.
[18:23] ---
    Damn it… So you finally get it?
[18:26] ---
    It's a fact that the enrollment
    at the Academy
[18:29] ---
    has been steadily dropping.
[18:30] ---
    But you know…
[18:32] ---
    It's not the cool ones
    who become ninja.
[18:35] ---
    Only those with determination
    can become ninja.
[18:38] ---
    No matter how tough
    the training and lessons…
[18:41] ---
    Even if you're covered in
    mud and sweat, and look "uncool"…
[18:46] ---
    Despite all that,
    you want to become a ninja.
[18:48] ---
    That's the kind of student
    the Academy needs.
[18:51] ---
    Great job on the rescue
    back there, you guys.
[18:54] ---
    You put everything you practiced
    into action naturally,
[18:57] ---
    and did a flawless job.
[18:59] ---
    I finally understand why Lord Hokage
    selected this team for this mission.
[19:04] ---
    Huh? Is that—?
[19:08] ---
    Oh, Iwabe?
[19:10] ---
    Where's your headband?
[19:11] ---
    Huh?
[19:12] ---
    Hey, where did it go?!
[19:15] ---
    Don't tell me during that chaos…
[19:18] ---
    We'll find it, even if
    we have to look all night!
[19:21] ---
    No…
[19:22] ---
    It's okay, Metal.
[19:24] ---
    B-But…
[19:25] ---
    That's my punishment for
    trying to toss it earlier.
[19:28] ---
    Headband or not…
[19:31] ---
    It doesn't matter,
    you just have to go and do it.
[19:35] ---
    – Iwabe…
    – Iwabe…
[19:37] ---
    Um… I know I have
    no right to ask…
[19:41] ---
    But can I be allowed
    to continue filming?
[19:45] ---
    N-No, we're the ones
    who pulled out earlier.
[19:48] ---
    Are you sure you're okay with us?
[19:50] ---
    It just has to be your team.
[19:53] ---
    I promise to make it
    a great program.

    GENIN DOCUMENTARY
[20:03] ---
    Yes, right over there!
[20:10] ---
    I was a loser too.
[20:12] ---
    – Huh?!
    – Huh?!
[20:13] ---
    I failed my graduation exams
    several times
[20:16] ---
    and always got scolded
    by Iruka Sensei.
[20:18] ---
    N-No way, Lord Hokage…
[20:21] ---
    Th-That's hard to believe…
[20:23] ---
    You're Iwabe, right?
[20:26] ---
    Y-You know about me?
[20:28] ---
    Yeah.
[20:29] ---
    I heard there was
    an amazing repeater.
[20:36] ---
    Even if you had to repeat,
[20:37] ---
    you gave it all you had
    and became a genin, right?
[20:41] ---
    Guys like you, with the guts
    to stick it out, no matter what…
[20:45] ---
    That's who the Academy needs.
[20:47] ---
    So, I thought this mission
    was perfect for you.
[20:51] ---
    You've already made it,
    you're totally cool ninja.
[20:55] ---
    Genin or chunin, doesn't matter.
[20:58] ---
    Don't rush, and keep on
    getting stronger.
[21:04] ---
    Everyone looked for it.
[21:06] ---
    Don't lose it again.
[21:15] ---
    Th-Thank you very much!
[21:25] ---
    They were cool.
[21:28] ---
    I guess it was a pretty great show.
[21:31] ---
    I really question putting
    Dad in it though.
[21:35] ---
    But damn it,
    we should've been in it!
[21:39] ---
    That's right…
[21:40] ---
    We can't afford to lose!

    STUDIO LEAF
    LEAF TV
[21:46] ---
    Oh yeah, come to think of it…
[21:48] ---
    So many things happened and
    I never took the Chunin Exams,
[21:50] ---
    so I guess I'm still a genin.
[21:52] ---
    – Huh?!
    – Huh?!
[23:25] ---
    All we have left to get
    in our animal-capturing mission
[23:27] ---
    is the miniature monkey.
[23:28] ---
    Leave this to me!
[23:30] ---
    Shouldn't we figure out
    a strategy together?
[23:32] ---
    It's fine!
[23:33] ---
    Just stay quiet, Namida!
[23:35] ---
    But—!
[23:36] ---
    It's annoying when
    you start crying like that!
[23:38] ---
    Wasabi, you're so mean!
[23:40] ---
    I don't care anymore!
[23:43] ---
    Next time on Boruto
    Naruto Next Generations:
[23:46] ---
    "Wasabi and Namida"
    
    
[23:49] ---
