[00:22] ---
    Scatter!
[00:24] ---
    Morale is high and everyone is
    ready to move into action
[00:27] ---
    as soon as the order is given.
[00:31] ---
    Good.
[00:35] ---
    All right. We can't just
    stand around either!
[00:40] ---
    Moegi, Udon… Let's go!
[00:51] ---
    – Now, Udon!
    – Right.
[00:53] ---
    Fire Style! Burning Ash!
[01:00] ---
    Hey, Konohamaru.
[01:03] ---
    You're overdoing it.
[01:08] ---
    Listen up. The village is
    getting ready for war!
[01:12] ---
    We have to be ready
[01:14] ---
    to answer the call to arms
    at any time too!
[01:17] ---
    We're still genin,
[01:18] ---
    so I doubt that we'll get
    to battle right away.
[01:21] ---
    Besides, aren't there still things
    that kids like us have to do?
[01:26] ---
    How can you be so relaxed?
[01:28] ---
    We've made progress since then.
[01:30] ---
    We have to distinguish ourselves
[01:32] ---
    and become the heroes
    of this village!
[03:09] ---
    Naruto's Favorite Student
    
    
[03:14] ---
    Anyway, the time has come
[03:16] ---
    for us to achieve
    great things for our village.
[03:18] ---
    But Konohamaru,
    how are we gonna do that?
[03:22] ---
    Yeah, it's easier said than done.
[03:28] ---
    How can we?
[03:36] ---
    That's it! The Leaf News!
[03:40] ---
    What do you mean?
[03:43] ---
    Say, I'm from Leaf News.
[03:46] ---
    We're going to collect data
    about the impending war.
[03:49] ---
    During the last incident,
    we helped everyone evacuate.
[03:54] ---
    Is there anything else
    that we can do?
[03:59] ---
    There sure is.
[04:01] ---
    Hold out your hands.
[04:04] ---
    There!
[04:06] ---
    Okay, carry those.
[05:18] ---
    Thanks a lot.
    That was a big help.
[05:21] ---
    Sakura, please wait.
[05:25] ---
    You didn't tell us what
    we can do to help in the war.
[05:30] ---
    We want to do something for
    the sake of the village.
[05:33] ---
    Yeah!
[05:36] ---
    You're already doing something
    for the sake for the village.
[05:40] ---
    This box contains medicine
    to be used by the ninja
[05:43] ---
    who will be fighting
    on the front lines.
[05:46] ---
    Not like that!
[05:48] ---
    We want to do something bigger
[05:50] ---
    like the kind of stuff
    Big Brother Naruto does, you know?
[05:54] ---
    What are you saying?
[05:55] ---
    War is not playtime.
[05:57] ---
    Many people will get hurt
    and they may die!
[06:00] ---
    Don't speak so lightly of
    distinguishing yourselves!
[06:04] ---
    Man! Looking down on us
    just because we're genin!
[06:10] ---
    But what Big Sister Sakura
    said is true.
[06:14] ---
    I guess we should just…
[06:16] ---
    Don't give up so easily!
[06:20] ---
    What's the matter?
[06:21] ---
    You look kind of upset.
[06:26] ---
    Big Brother Shikamaru!
[06:29] ---
    What do we have to do to
    get on the front lines
[06:31] ---
    and fight the Akatsuki?
[06:33] ---
    I brought down Pain.
[06:34] ---
    I'm a full-fledged Leaf ninja now!
[06:39] ---
    Well then, I have a question
    for you, full-fledged Leaf ninja.
[06:48] ---
    Define the King that
    you feel you must protect?
[06:55] ---
    "King"?
[07:08] ---
    If you don't know the meaning
    of what I'm asking,
[07:10] ---
    then I cannot acknowledge you
    as a full-fledged Hidden Leaf ninja.
[07:15] ---
    Here I go, talking big.
[07:18] ---
    Actually, I learned the answer
    just recently myself.
[07:21] ---
    Anyway, there's no need to
    push yourself so hard.
[07:27] ---
    I'll hear you out again sometime.
[07:42] ---
    Here.
[07:49] ---
    Ball?
[07:51] ---
    What does "ball" mean?
[07:53] ---
    You're so dumb!
[07:57] ---
    I wish everyone would stop
    giving us the run around!
[08:02] ---
    All right then.
[08:04] ---
    What are you going to do?
[08:05] ---
    Who are we going to
    interview next?
[08:08] ---
    We're not going to
    interview anyone.
[08:09] ---
    We're going to demand that
[08:11] ---
    we be allowed to
    take part in the war!
[08:15] ---
    You fool!
[08:17] ---
    Why?!
[08:19] ---
    I want to fight for our village
    on the front lines!
[08:24] ---
    There is no place for you there!
[08:26] ---
    I brought down Pain by myself!
[08:29] ---
    I am fully qualified to fight
    on the frontlines!
[08:37] ---
    You are interfering with my work!
[08:40] ---
    Get out!
[08:46] ---
    Konohamaru!
[08:48] ---
    Are you okay?!
[08:55] ---
    Damn it!
[08:58] ---
    Why?!
[09:16] ---
    Nawaki, happy twelfth birthday!
[09:22] ---
    Big Sister, is this?
[09:25] ---
    Yes. It's the First Hokage's,
    our grandfather's, necklace!
[09:30] ---
    I love you, Big Sister!
[09:40] ---
    Damn it.
[09:46] ---
    Oh, someone is coming.
[09:49] ---
    We'll get yelled at!
[09:56] ---
    This way.
[09:58] ---
    Lady Hokage is expecting you.
[10:00] ---
    Right.
[10:02] ---
    Hey, that's…
[10:04] ---
    Temari, the older sister to
[10:06] ---
    the Kazekage of
    the Hidden Sand Village.
[10:08] ---
    Kazekage?
[10:14] ---
    I have a good idea.
[10:17] ---
    What're you thinking?
[10:20] ---
    This is a secret letter from
    the Kazekage to you.
[10:23] ---
    Yes, thank you.
[10:26] ---
    I confirm that I have
    received it from you.
[10:28] ---
    What a long way for you to come
    during such a hectic time, just to deliver this.
[10:31] ---
    Not at all. I wanted to personally
    assess the situation
[10:34] ---
    in Hidden Leaf Village,
    a member of the alliance.
[10:38] ---
    It's been a while, hasn't it?
[10:40] ---
    The shadows of the past are gone,
    but please stay and rest.
[10:44] ---
    Thank you, but I must hurry
    back to the village.
[10:50] ---
    Please excuse me.
[10:56] ---
    Brother Shikamaru!
[10:58] ---
    What is it?
[11:00] ---
    Did you figure out
    the meaning of "King"?
[11:03] ---
    – Konohamaru's in trouble!
    – Konohamaru is… He's…
[11:07] ---
    What's wrong?
[11:08] ---
    SAND
[11:15] ---
    Hidden Sand Jonin Temari!
[11:21] ---
    You will accept my challenge!
[11:26] ---
    Move or you'll get hurt.
[11:28] ---
    I wonder which one of us
    will get hurt.
[11:31] ---
    My name is Konohamaru Sarutobi.
[11:33] ---
    Grandson of the Third Hokage,
[11:35] ---
    Big Brother Naruto's
    favorite student!
[11:38] ---
    Naruto's?
[11:39] ---
    Running away from
    this challenge will mean
[11:41] ---
    that you fear me!
[11:44] ---
    Say that again, you brat!
[11:51] ---
    Here I come!
[11:55] ---
    Fire Style! Burning Ash!
[12:00] ---
    First Star.
[12:18] ---
    How'd you do that?
[12:21] ---
    Hey, kid!
    You're just talk, aren't you?
[12:28] ---
    I'm not a kid! I'm Konohamaru!
[12:33] ---
    Kunai knives!
[12:35] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[12:38] ---
    Second Star!
[12:54] ---
    It seems the Sarutobi Clan doesn't
    have a decent heir left.
[13:01] ---
    I have no choice.
[13:07] ---
    Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[13:14] ---
    Here I go!
[13:34] ---
    Third Star!
[13:45] ---
    That's enough!
[13:47] ---
    You're a hundred years away
    from challenging me.
[13:53] ---
    You said you were
    Naruto's favorite student.
[13:56] ---
    What a disappointment.
[14:01] ---
    Well, I shouldn't have
    expected a guy like Naruto
[14:04] ---
    to have a decent student.
[14:11] ---
    Good job, Konohamaru!
[14:13] ---
    You're a hero in our village too!
[14:22] ---
    I don't care
[14:25] ---
    what you say about me.
[14:30] ---
    But I won't let you say anything
    bad about Big Brother Naruto!
[14:37] ---
    What?!
[14:41] ---
    What is that?
[14:46] ---
    – Rasengan!
    – Ninja Art! Wind Scythe—
[14:47] ---
    Shadow Strangle Jutsu!
[15:11] ---
    What?
[15:18] ---
    What is this?
[15:20] ---
    The jutsu passed on
    by Naruto himself…
[15:23] ---
    The Rasengan.
[15:26] ---
    That brat mastered
    a jutsu this powerful?
[15:31] ---
    Konohamaru…
[15:33] ---
    Are you all right, Konohamaru?
[15:38] ---
    Damn it!
[15:41] ---
    What are you doing?!
[15:43] ---
    If you had let me finish
    completing the Rasengan,
[15:45] ---
    I'd have won!
[15:51] ---
    What was that for?!
[15:54] ---
    Because…
[15:55] ---
    Because you keep talking about
[15:58] ---
    distinguishing yourself
    and winning, Konohamaru.
[16:01] ---
    It's like you're happy
    that war is coming!
[16:06] ---
    That's not…
[16:08] ---
    Konohamaru!
[16:10] ---
    Remember that day!
[16:14] ---
    That day, I got separated from you,
    so I headed towards District C.
[16:20] ---
    Then…
[16:32] ---
    Mommy, help me!
[16:36] ---
    He's in danger.
    I have to get help.
[16:44] ---
    I'm the only one around.
[16:47] ---
    I have to help him.
    I have to help him!
[17:15] ---
    Sota!
[17:17] ---
    Mommy!
[17:19] ---
    Sota!
[17:25] ---
    Fighting in a war isn't
    the only way to help the village.
[17:31] ---
    When war breaks out,
[17:33] ---
    all the jonin and chunin
    won't be in the village.
[17:37] ---
    What if the enemy attacks us?
    Then what?
[17:42] ---
    That's right.
[17:43] ---
    We have to take the place
    of those who are on the battlefield
[17:47] ---
    and protect the elderly and
    the children in the village.
[18:04] ---
    Define the King that
    you feel you must protect?
[18:19] ---
    I swear I'm gonna protect them.
[18:24] ---
    All the grandmas and the grandpas,
[18:27] ---
    and the children.
[18:37] ---
    Protecting the village is
    a huge responsibility too.
[18:43] ---
    But boy, were you lucky.
[18:46] ---
    If you had kept fighting,
[18:48] ---
    you'd have fallen to
    Temari's Wind Scythe Jutsu.
[18:52] ---
    Among all the kunoichi,
    she's known as the cruelest one.
[19:01] ---
    Still, you're something else,
    pushing me to that limit.
[19:08] ---
    I-I…I…
[19:11] ---
    I will report to Gaara
[19:14] ---
    that fine young ones are coming up
    among the Hidden Leaf.
[19:19] ---
    In a few years, I'm sure
    you'll be a good shinobi.
[19:27] ---
    Konohamaru…
[19:29] ---
    What'll we do from now?
[19:32] ---
    What else?
[19:35] ---
    This village is Grandpa's,
    the Third Hokage's, treasure.
[19:41] ---
    So I'm gonna protect it!
[19:44] ---
    Because I'm the grandson
    of the Third Hokage,
[19:46] ---
    who protected the Village Hidden
    in the Leaves!
[19:50] ---
    And because Big Brother Naruto
    promised me
[19:53] ---
    that one day, we'd fight
    for the title of the Hokage!
[19:57] ---
    I'm gonna train more until
    I can pulverize Big Brother Naruto!
[20:03] ---
    Because becoming
    the Hokage is my dream!
[20:10] ---
    Is that what Konohamaru said?
[20:14] ---
    I'm certain of it.
[20:17] ---
    I see. So Konohamaru
    said that, huh.
[20:25] ---
    Not just this necklace!
[20:28] ---
    This village is Grandfather's treasure.
[20:31] ---
    So I'm going to protect it.
[20:36] ---
    Because I'm the grandson
    of the First Hokage,
[20:38] ---
    who founded the Village Hidden
    in the Leaves!
[20:41] ---
    Such big talk.
[20:43] ---
    Remember, men don't go
    back on their word!
[20:45] ---
    I know!
[20:46] ---
    I'm gonna become like Grandfather
[20:48] ---
    and take on the title
    of Hokage one day.
[20:52] ---
    – 'Cause becoming the Hokage is my dream.
    – 'Cause becoming the Hokage is my dream.
[20:58] ---
    I wonder how he's doing.
[22:38] ---
    Getting a marriage proposal
    so quickly like that.
    
    
[22:40] ---
    Naruto, you're really popular!
    
    
[22:41] ---
    It's nothing like that!
    
    
[22:42] ---
    Just because Pervy Sage made
    some careless promise,
    
    
[22:44] ---
    I'm paying for it now!
    
    
[22:46] ---
    Well, we are heading to
    a secret a mission,
    
    
[22:49] ---
    so getting involved in any foolish
    disturbances will be problematic.
    
    
[22:51] ---
    We should avoid any
    unnecessary trouble.
    
    
[22:53] ---
    We should rest early and leave
    first thing in the morning.
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time:
    "The Kunoichi of Nadeshiko Village"
    
    
[23:01] ---
    Don't! Stop chasing me!
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
