[00:04] ---
It's been so long
since we traveled on land.
[00:08] ---
Solid ground under
our feet feels great.
[00:11] ---
No doubt about it,
[00:13] ---
this hot blood of mine
is bonded to land.
[00:15] ---
Well, this is only until
we reach the next harbor.
[00:19] ---
About that,
can't we change plans
[00:21] ---
and go to the Land of
Lightning by land?
[00:25] ---
I doubt it.
[00:26] ---
We are presently in the territory
of the Land of Water.
[00:29] ---
The Land of Water is made up
of large and small islands.
[00:33] ---
So they are not connected
to the Land of Lightning.
[00:37] ---
Well…
[00:39] ---
Just the thought of
getting on a boat again…
[00:43] ---
So are we still far away from
the Land of Lightning?
[00:46] ---
Yes. We have a quarter
of a ways to go.
[00:52] ---
By the way, I overheard this
back at the harbor,
[00:56] ---
but it seems some imposters
may show up.
[00:58] ---
An imposter?
What kind of imposter?
[01:08] ---
Hey, hey, hey!
[01:09] ---
I have nothing against you.
[01:11] ---
Just call it a twist of fate.
[01:14] ---
I'm taking everything you own.
[01:18] ---
Who are you?
[01:21] ---
That headband?
[01:23] ---
That's right!
[01:25] ---
The great ninja who
kicked the Akatsuki out
[01:27] ---
of the Hidden Leaf Village!
[01:29] ---
Naruto Uzumaki, that's me!
[01:41] ---
Seems he just appeared.
[01:43] ---
Then that imposter
you mentioned…
[01:46] ---
That's right.
[01:48] ---
He's supposed to be Naruto?
[01:56] ---
He's the spitting image of you.
[01:58] ---
As if!
[01:59] ---
Hey, hey, hey!
[02:00] ---
How dare you ignore me!
What's so funny?
[02:03] ---
Damn it!
[02:04] ---
Hey, if you're Naruto Uzumaki
of the Hidden Leaf,
[02:07] ---
then who the hell
am I supposed to be?
[02:10] ---
Don't you know
your own name?
[02:16] ---
How come you have
Hidden Leaf headbands too?
[02:20] ---
Don't tell me…
[02:22] ---
I'm the real Naruto Uzumaki!
[02:25] ---
– No way!
– It's true!
[02:27] ---
Imagine that,
an imposter of Naruto.
[02:30] ---
I guess that's the price
you pay for fame.
[02:33] ---
And... Just who are you?
[02:35] ---
I'm…
[02:38] ---
Hold it now.
If I can beat him here…
[02:43] ---
All right then.
[02:46] ---
Let's fight, right here and now,
to see who is the real Naruto!
[02:50] ---
Quit talking nonsense!
[02:52] ---
Naruto, do your best.
[02:54] ---
If you lose, we'll make him
the real Naruto.
[03:00] ---
I guess I have no choice.
[04:40] ---
Naruto's Imposter
[04:47] ---
You're all talk!
[04:49] ---
That didn't even count
as a warm-up!
[04:51] ---
We'll be confiscating what you have.
[04:53] ---
But what'll we do with him?
[04:56] ---
We're in a hurry.
[04:58] ---
A guy like him…
[05:00] ---
Let's just toss him over there.
[05:01] ---
Are you sure about that?
[05:03] ---
If he gets away and
starts stirring up trouble again,
[05:05] ---
your reputation will take a hit.
[05:08] ---
That is a problem.
[05:10] ---
Hey wait, wait!
[05:15] ---
And who're you?
[05:17] ---
My name's Iggy and
I've been after this thief.
[05:21] ---
Him?
[05:22] ---
Yeah.
[05:23] ---
The only ones brave enough
to stand up to this guy are myself
[05:27] ---
and probably you.
[05:31] ---
This guy is the notorious thief
everyone is afraid of!
[05:34] ---
Naruto Uzumaki!
[05:35] ---
No! He is not Naruto Uzumaki!
[05:40] ---
How would you know
a thing like that?
[05:43] ---
Because I'm the real
Naruto Uzumaki!
[05:48] ---
What? You're the real one?
[05:50] ---
Damn it! What a jerk!
Using my name and robbing people!
[05:54] ---
If you're chasing the thief,
[05:56] ---
does that make you
an officer of the law?
[05:58] ---
W-Well, I guess you could say that.
[06:01] ---
Then let's leave
the rest in his hands.
[06:04] ---
We should be on our way.
[06:06] ---
Sounds good.
[06:10] ---
Hey buddy, can you manage him?
[06:13] ---
You don't look that strong.
[06:15] ---
What are you saying?
I may not look it, but…
[06:19] ---
I am the master ninja Iggy!
[06:25] ---
No kidding? Are you that strong?
[06:28] ---
Looks sure can be deceiving.
[06:30] ---
Well then,
please take care of things here.
[06:33] ---
Okay, let's go!
[06:38] ---
Damn it.
[06:39] ---
Sorry, partner.
[06:43] ---
You idiot!
[06:44] ---
What if you were killed?
Are you stupid?
[06:49] ---
I was going to beat him up.
[06:52] ---
But you heard, didn't you?
[06:53] ---
He was the real Naruto Uzumaki.
[06:57] ---
Yeah. Of all places,
I never expected to encounter
[07:00] ---
the real guy here.
[07:03] ---
You idiot! That's enough
of your excuses, Banna!
[07:07] ---
According to our plan,
you're the troublemaker
[07:10] ---
and I'm going to beat you up
and build up my reputation.
[07:12] ---
War's about to break out.
[07:14] ---
I have to do something like this
to build myself up!
[07:17] ---
By beating Naruto Uzumaki,
I'll make a name for myself!
[07:25] ---
I know that.
[07:27] ---
But isn't it time we stopped
dangerous stuff like this?
[07:33] ---
You jerk!
[07:34] ---
Did you forget what you owe me?
[07:37] ---
If it weren't for me,
you'd still be all alone,
[07:39] ---
crying your eyes out.
[07:40] ---
Isn't that right?
[07:42] ---
I-I'm sorry.
[07:44] ---
Iggy, you're my one and only friend.
[07:49] ---
Next time, let's find someone weaker
that even we can beat.
[07:54] ---
Why you!
[07:56] ---
"That even we can beat"?!
[07:59] ---
A Naruto Uzumaki or two would
be a piece of cake for me!
[08:04] ---
Forgive me, Iggy.
[08:11] ---
As long as you understand,
it's okay.
[08:17] ---
Is it true that Naruto Uzumaki is
robbing people in these parts?
[08:22] ---
Yeah, no doubt about it.
[08:25] ---
There have been
a number of victims.
[08:27] ---
He's supposedly a giant
with a reddish face.
[08:30] ---
But why would Naruto Uzumaki
stoop to robbery here?
[08:34] ---
Isn't he a hero who saved
his village?
[08:38] ---
I don't know the details,
but there are also rumors
[08:41] ---
that Naruto Uzumaki was
considered a nuisance.
[08:45] ---
Maybe he became a Rogue Ninja?
[08:47] ---
If he's a deserter,
[08:49] ---
then the Hidden Leaf
must be after him too.
[08:51] ---
If we capture him,
[08:52] ---
the Hidden Leaf will
pay us handsomely.
[08:56] ---
But can we do it?
[08:57] ---
After all, he's Naruto Uzumaki.
[08:59] ---
Don't panic.
From what I hear,
[09:02] ---
Naruto Uzumaki didn't even
pass the Chunin Exam.
[09:05] ---
The legend of him being a hero
is probably a big exaggeration.
[09:08] ---
I get it.
[09:09] ---
For Mercenary Ninja like us,
he means money, right?
[09:14] ---
Exactly.
[09:19] ---
Well, considering my strength,
[09:22] ---
I actually don't need to
resort to this stuff.
[09:26] ---
Come one, come all!
[09:28] ---
I preserve the peace for
the people and the world!
[09:33] ---
The great Iggy, that's me!
[09:36] ---
You're so cool, Iggy!
[09:38] ---
When you're serious,
you're really strong, Iggy!
[09:41] ---
You could fight in the war anytime!
[09:43] ---
Damned right I can!
[09:45] ---
Forget farming.
I'm going to be a war hero!
[09:50] ---
Here, put this on.
[09:53] ---
Then you'll be
Naruto Uzumaki again.
[10:04] ---
Hey look, Banna…
I mean, Naruto.
[10:09] ---
Here come our victims.
[10:11] ---
There's no way you can lose
to peddlers like them.
[10:13] ---
Nope.
[10:14] ---
All right! Here I go!
[10:24] ---
Hey, hey, hey!
[10:26] ---
I have nothing against you.
[10:28] ---
Just call it a twist of fate.
[10:32] ---
I, Naruto Uzumaki,
will be taking all your belongings.
[10:38] ---
Did you say Naruto Uzumaki?
[10:42] ---
Uh yeah…that's right.
[10:43] ---
So just put everything down and leave.
[10:49] ---
W-What the hell?
[10:51] ---
Aren't they peddlers?
[10:54] ---
This is perfect!
[10:55] ---
Naruto Uzumaki, eh?
[10:57] ---
Imagine, you coming to us.
[10:59] ---
W-What'd you say?
[11:01] ---
Capture him!
[11:02] ---
No way!
[11:12] ---
W-Wait! He's not Naruto Uzumaki!
[11:16] ---
He's just a petty thief named Banna.
[11:18] ---
What?
[11:19] ---
But he looks just like
how rumors describe him.
[11:22] ---
And he's wearing
a Hidden Leaf headband.
[11:25] ---
Well, that's because I…
[11:27] ---
Who are you?
Are you his partner?
[11:30] ---
Interfere and we'll get rid of you too.
[11:33] ---
No, I…
[11:35] ---
He's wrong!
[11:36] ---
I'm Naruto Uzumaki!
He's not my partner!
[11:40] ---
He's just a low-class farmer
from a mountain village!
[11:44] ---
He hates working the fields,
so he pretends to be a ninja!
[11:48] ---
He thinks my capture will
be his ticket to fame!
[11:50] ---
That's why he's hanging around!
[11:52] ---
Banna…
[11:53] ---
Sheesh, a ninja wannabe.
[11:56] ---
Well then, stay out of the way.
[11:58] ---
Or we'll take care of you too!
[12:10] ---
Let's go!
[12:18] ---
What do I do?
[12:20] ---
What do I do?!
[12:27] ---
Finally, I'm not hungry anymore!
[12:32] ---
Well, we'd better hurry.
[12:33] ---
Wait, wait, wait!
[12:34] ---
Please wait up!
[12:40] ---
Thank goodness I found you.
[12:43] ---
What's the matter?
[12:45] ---
Well, I hate to say this,
[12:47] ---
but some other thieves took
the thief you left in my custody.
[12:51] ---
What?!
[12:53] ---
I have to ask you a favor.
Please get that thief back.
[12:57] ---
I thought you were a master ninja.
[12:59] ---
Can't you get him back yourself?
[13:01] ---
A-Actually, I'm out of shape right now.
[13:07] ---
A ninja's always supposed
to be in shape.
[13:09] ---
Sorry, but we have
urgent business to attend to.
[13:12] ---
And besides, aren't you
an officer of the law?
[13:15] ---
Why don't you go back
to your headquarters
[13:17] ---
and get backup?
[13:19] ---
Well, that's…
[13:21] ---
So the thieves catch a thief.
[13:24] ---
I'd say they're birds of a feather.
[13:26] ---
You reap what you sow.
[13:28] ---
No, it's not like that!
[13:31] ---
He may've done wrong,
but he really wasn't that bad.
[13:37] ---
Because of his looks and size,
people didn't like him.
[13:42] ---
They were scared of him.
[13:43] ---
He was always such
a weakling and kind-hearted.
[13:47] ---
He's good at taking care of people.
[13:50] ---
You sure know a lot about him.
[13:53] ---
Well…
[13:55] ---
Are you really an officer?
[13:57] ---
I had my suspicions about you
from the very beginning.
[14:04] ---
All right. I'll be honest with you.
[14:06] ---
I'll tell you everything.
[14:14] ---
And that's it.
[14:15] ---
What were you doing?
[14:17] ---
How could you think of
something so stupid?
[14:19] ---
Please help me!
[14:20] ---
You're the hero who saved
the Hidden Leaf Village, right?
[14:24] ---
Hey, if you were his friend,
[14:26] ---
how could you let him
do such a thing?
[14:29] ---
If you were his friend,
[14:30] ---
why didn't you seriously think
about his well-being?!
[14:34] ---
Friend?
[14:36] ---
G-Give me a break.
He's not a friend.
[14:41] ---
He's stupid.
[14:42] ---
It was just convenient.
That's why we stayed together.
[14:46] ---
He's not a friend.
[14:49] ---
"Not a friend"?
[14:58] ---
What's the big idea?!
[15:00] ---
Then just what is he to you?!
[15:04] ---
You might have come this far
thinking he was just an idiot.
[15:09] ---
But haven't you two been
together since you were kids?
[15:14] ---
You've survived together!
[15:17] ---
Wouldn't you consider
that being friends?!
[15:22] ---
Naruto.
[15:29] ---
This is an order.
[15:31] ---
Okay, I got it.
[15:33] ---
If we had time,
we would want to help you.
[15:36] ---
But that's just not possible right now.
[15:39] ---
Right now, we cannot afford to have
[15:41] ---
our identities and
whereabouts known.
[15:44] ---
You must forget
you met us here too.
[15:47] ---
Let's go!
[15:52] ---
Wait!
[15:53] ---
Please! I can't do it by myself!
[15:56] ---
You heard us.
[15:58] ---
We can't help you.
[16:00] ---
That's…
[16:01] ---
Then what am I supposed to do?
[16:03] ---
It's your problem.
[16:06] ---
You figure it out yourself.
[16:14] ---
He's my friend?
[16:36] ---
Paper Bombs!
[16:37] ---
Who is it?!
[16:42] ---
Iggy? Why are you doing this?
[16:47] ---
You… I knew it.
[16:49] ---
You're his partner?
[16:50] ---
I'm not his partner.
He's not my friend either.
[16:55] ---
He's…
[16:56] ---
my best friend!
[16:58] ---
Iggy…
[17:05] ---
Why you!
[17:06] ---
Damn it!
[17:08] ---
They got away!
[17:09] ---
After them!
[17:16] ---
Banna, are you all right?
[17:18] ---
Why?
[17:20] ---
Damn it! You're hopeless!
[17:23] ---
If I didn't save you,
what'll happen to our next strategy?
[17:26] ---
Iggy…
[17:30] ---
All these years,
I've done nothing but use you.
[17:34] ---
That isn't true. Everyone hated me
and looked at me
[17:37] ---
like I was the devil himself.
[17:39] ---
But you became my friend.
[17:42] ---
You idiot.
[17:44] ---
Back then, the others bullied me too.
[17:48] ---
They told me that if I teased you,
they wouldn't bully me.
[17:52] ---
I know that. But…
[17:55] ---
Iggy, you became my best friend!
[18:01] ---
Come on out, Naruto Uzumaki!
[18:04] ---
We won't let you get away again.
[18:06] ---
Let's show them
our willpower once last time!
[18:10] ---
Yeah!
[18:11] ---
Wherever you go,
I'll follow you, Iggy!
[18:14] ---
Let's do it!
[18:15] ---
Right!
[18:20] ---
You novice.
[18:22] ---
You think you can beat us
with that skill level?
[18:25] ---
Take Naruto Uzumaki alive!
Kill the other one.
[18:29] ---
I'm sorry.
[18:30] ---
If I were strong like Naruto,
I could've protected you.
[18:34] ---
Banna…
[18:37] ---
Run!
[18:38] ---
Banna!
[18:40] ---
Thanks for calling me
your best friend.
[18:47] ---
Die!
[18:48] ---
Banna!
[18:53] ---
What?!
[18:54] ---
Damn it.
[18:56] ---
You two are something else!
[18:59] ---
Y-You guys…
[19:00] ---
Sorry, but we didn't
believe you back there.
[19:06] ---
So we decided to test you.
[19:09] ---
Test me?
[19:11] ---
Right now, I am totally moved!
[19:14] ---
You didn't abandon your friend!
[19:17] ---
You put your faith in friendship!
[19:20] ---
Hey, hey, hey!
[19:21] ---
Just who do you think
this person is?
[19:23] ---
This here is the hero who
saved Hidden Leaf Village,
[19:27] ---
the one and only Naruto Uzumaki!
[19:31] ---
Shape up!
You are Naruto Uzumaki.
[19:34] ---
Naruto…
[19:35] ---
That's right.
[19:36] ---
You're the hero of justice!
Naruto Uzumaki!
[19:42] ---
Naruto Uzumaki is going to
go on a rampage of a lifetime!
[19:54] ---
You can have your name back,
Naruto Uzumaki.
[19:57] ---
The weight of it is too heavy to bear.
[20:00] ---
Thank you, Naruto.
[20:02] ---
Don't mention it.
[20:04] ---
But what'll you do from now?
[20:07] ---
Do you really intend
to become ninja?
[20:09] ---
Nah, I'm going to forget about it.
[20:13] ---
If this is how scary it is,
it's not for me.
[20:16] ---
I'm going back to the country
and make an honest living.
[20:19] ---
I'll go wherever Iggy goes.
[20:22] ---
I see.
[20:25] ---
Stay best friends forever, guys!
[20:36] ---
– Naruto!
– Naruto!
[20:39] ---
Thank you!
[20:40] ---
Take care!
[20:42] ---
Those guys sure can yell.
[20:47] ---
Take good care of yourselves!
[20:51] ---
Best friends are the greatest.
[20:55] ---
We'll be like them too, someday.
[22:37] ---
Sand Jonin Temari,
you will accept my challenge!
[22:41] ---
Huh? What are you talking about?
[22:43] ---
My name is Konohamaru Sarutobi.
[22:45] ---
Grandson of the Third Hokage,
Naruto's favorite student!
[22:49] ---
Naruto's…?
[22:51] ---
Running away from this challenge
will mean that you fear me!
[22:56] ---
Next on Naruto Shippuden:
"Naruto's Favorite Student"
[23:00] ---
This should be fun.
I'll indulge you for a little bit.
[23:05] ---
Tune in again!
