**[01:30] ---**
*Naruto's Rival*
**[01:34] ---**
This is so annoying.
**[01:37] ---**
Orochimaru gets away when
he was almost within our grasp;
**[01:40] ---**
the Akatsuki's movements
are as suspicious as ever…
**[01:44] ---**
There's been no good news
at all lately.
**[01:46] ---**
Isn't there anything fun going on?
**[01:49] ---**
Well…
**[01:51] ---**
Oh, Konohamaru came to
the hospital yesterday.
**[01:56] ---**
What's fun about that?
**[02:00] ---**
His fists were terribly bruised
from his own chakra.
**[02:05] ---**
It seems Naruto is teaching him
the Rasengan.
**[02:10] ---**
Oh…
**[02:12] ---**
That's interesting.
**[02:14] ---**
What's your pick?
**[02:15] ---**
Huh?
**[02:17] ---**
Will he master it? Or not?
**[02:19] ---**
Lady Tsunade!
**[02:20] ---**
Come on…
**[02:22] ---**
It's just a diversion.
**[02:27] ---**
Hold it in, GUUUH it, and…
**[02:29] ---**
BAM!
**[02:31] ---**
– That's it!
– That's it!
**[02:33] ---**
I-I did it! All right!
**[02:36] ---**
I did it!
**[02:39] ---**
That was awesome, Konohamaru.
**[02:41] ---**
I can't just stand around here.
**[02:43] ---**
We have to find Big Bro Naruto!
**[02:46] ---**
Speaking of Naruto…
**[02:49] ---**
We haven't seen him around lately.
**[02:52] ---**
Oh, I heard he just returned
a little bit ago.
**[02:56] ---**
I overheard…
**[02:58] ---**
His last mission didn't go well.
**[03:02] ---**
Huh? Really?
**[03:03] ---**
If that's true…
**[03:05] ---**
We shouldn't bother him now.
**[03:09] ---**
Konohamaru.
**[03:11] ---**
No worries!
**[03:13] ---**
I know Big Bro Naruto!
He's not like that.
**[03:20] ---**
Kakashi Sensei,
have you seen Naruto?
**[03:23] ---**
Oh, he's over there.
**[03:29] ---**
Hey, you guys!
**[03:31] ---**
You were right.
He's more cheerful than I expected.
**[03:34] ---**
See! I told you so!
**[03:39] ---**
Sorry I didn't come around.
Lots of things happened…
**[03:44] ---**
I heard.
**[03:46] ---**
You weren't able to catch the spy.
**[03:49] ---**
Yeah. Turned out, there was
something bigger lying in wait.
**[03:54] ---**
Are you talking about Orochimaru?!
**[03:59] ---**
We found one of their hideouts,
and we also found Sasuke.
**[04:04] ---**
But…
**[04:08] ---**
I wasn't strong enough
to bring him back.
**[04:12] ---**
So, I have no choice
but to get stronger, right?
**[04:17] ---**
That's why you're training?
**[04:19] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:20] ---**
I'm just about to move on
to the next step.
**[04:23] ---**
This time…
**[04:28] ---**
I'll surpass Sasuke
with my Wind Chakra!
**[04:31] ---**
Awesome!
**[04:32] ---**
As expected, you're so cool Naruto!
**[04:35] ---**
That's why you're my rival!
**[04:38] ---**
And what about you, Konohamaru?
How're you doing?
**[04:43] ---**
Well, just watch me!
**[04:48] ---**
Here I go!
**[04:49] ---**
Hold it in, GUUUH it, and…
**[04:53] ---**
BAM!
**[04:57] ---**
S-Sir, what in the world going on?!
**[05:00] ---**
Hmm…I wonder…
**[05:05] ---**
How was that?!
**[05:07] ---**
Uh…yeah…
You did well…
**[05:09] ---**
I sense doubt in your voice!
**[05:12] ---**
Hey, I did it properly.
**[05:15] ---**
Yeah, you did, but…
**[05:17] ---**
Why are you using a Sexy Jutsu?
**[05:21] ---**
I'm just honoring
what you taught me…
**[05:23] ---**
and keeping it at
the utmost sexiness that I can.
**[05:24] ---**
What else?!
**[05:26] ---**
Sexiness?
**[05:29] ---**
The sensation of rotating chakra
can only be learned with your body…
**[05:34] ---**
And I already showed you
the importance of perseverance…
**[05:37] ---**
…and stuff like that, right?
**[05:39] ---**
I didn't understand one little bit!
Tell me in easy words!
**[05:43] ---**
Now I feel like I polished
an unnecessary skill!
**[05:47] ---**
Now, now…
**[05:49] ---**
Everything turned out okay.
**[05:52] ---**
Anyways, can I go on to
the next step in training?
**[05:56] ---**
Yes!
**[05:57] ---**
It's the final leg from here on…
For the third step…
**[06:04] ---**
Use this.
**[06:05] ---**
Wait a minute.
**[06:07] ---**
What now?
Just listen!
**[06:10] ---**
I can't do Shadow Clones…
**[06:16] ---**
Damn it…
**[06:18] ---**
Okay then,
we'll do Shadow Clones first.
**[06:20] ---**
Watch closely…
**[06:21] ---**
With Shadow Clones,
**[06:24] ---**
you go DOWAAH with your body…
**[06:28] ---**
…like so!
**[06:30] ---**
Okay? Think you can do it?
**[06:32] ---**
Not again.
So that's the entire explanation…
**[06:36] ---**
You have to master this in order to
go on with the training.
**[06:39] ---**
Do your best, Konohamaru!
**[06:41] ---**
I wouldn't take it easy
if I were you, Bro.
**[06:45] ---**
What do you mean?
**[06:46] ---**
We're both rivals,
working on a new jutsu.
**[06:52] ---**
So who's gonna master it first?
**[06:57] ---**
I challenge you!
**[07:01] ---**
How fun.
I accept your challenge!
**[07:07] ---**
Okay then…
**[07:08] ---**
Let's go, Moegi, Udon!
**[07:16] ---**
All right! I'm not gonna lose!
**[07:20] ---**
Go for it, Konohamaru!
**[07:29] ---**
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[07:34] ---**
I couldn't do it.
**[07:37] ---**
*I need more chakra…*
**[07:44] ---**
Hah!
**[07:47] ---**
Okay, next one!
**[07:48] ---**
Let's go!
**[07:52] ---**
Hah!
**[08:08] ---**
All right!
**[08:15] ---**
What is this?
**[08:19] ---**
Oh, octopus tentacles?
**[08:31] ---**
How about calling it a day?
**[08:34] ---**
Not yet!
**[08:36] ---**
I just need a little break.
**[08:39] ---**
– Konohamaru…
– Konohamaru…
**[08:46] ---**
Konohamaru…
**[08:50] ---**
He fell asleep.
**[08:54] ---**
Coming!
**[08:57] ---**
Oh, what's up?
**[08:58] ---**
We heard that you were making
food pills for Big Bro Naruto…
**[09:04] ---**
Please!
**[09:06] ---**
Can you teach us the recipe?
**[09:11] ---**
Sure.
**[09:13] ---**
All right!
**[09:17] ---**
I was just making some.
**[09:19] ---**
If you help, you can have some.
**[09:21] ---**
– Yes!
– Yes!
**[09:22] ---**
Okay, I need you to
mash up this and this.
**[09:25] ---**
– Okay!
– Okay!
**[09:28] ---**
I hear Konohamaru is training hard.
**[09:32] ---**
Yes…
**[09:33] ---**
He wants to beat Big Bro Naruto.
**[09:35] ---**
He's really working hard.
**[09:38] ---**
Almost too hard.
**[09:40] ---**
Then he'll probably stay out there…
Naruto's not going home either.
**[09:51] ---**
It's no wonder you want to help.
**[09:53] ---**
Uh-huh!
**[09:56] ---**
But…
**[09:58] ---**
But…
**[10:00] ---**
At the same time,
it makes me uneasy…
**[10:04] ---**
Maybe more like anxious…
**[10:07] ---**
Konohamaru is
chasing after Naruto…
**[10:10] ---**
and he's getting farther
and farther away from us.
**[10:13] ---**
You're afraid of being left behind?
**[10:15] ---**
– Huh?
– Huh?
**[10:17] ---**
I was like that
when I was your age.
**[10:20] ---**
I really wanted to catch up.
**[10:22] ---**
That's why I became
Lady Tsunade's apprentice.
**[10:24] ---**
I'm sure you'll find it too…
Your goals, your mentors…
**[10:29] ---**
And your rivals.
**[10:31] ---**
– Uh-huh!
– Uh-huh!
**[10:37] ---**
So gross!
**[10:39] ---**
Don't give up, Konohamaru!
**[10:41] ---**
Suck it up!
**[10:42] ---**
All right! Here I go!
**[10:46] ---**
All right!
**[10:53] ---**
I did it!
**[10:54] ---**
– Yay!
– Yay!
**[10:57] ---**
Congratulations, Konohamaru!
**[10:59] ---**
You made it!
**[11:00] ---**
– Yay!
– Yay!
**[11:03] ---**
Huh?
It disappeared?!
**[11:06] ---**
You're still having a hard time
sustaining them.
**[11:10] ---**
Big Bro Naruto!
**[11:14] ---**
Don't tell me you—?!
**[11:15] ---**
Too bad, Konohamaru.
**[11:18] ---**
I win this time.
**[11:20] ---**
No way!
I was almost there!
**[11:24] ---**
I won't lose next time!
**[11:25] ---**
I swear, you'll be so surprised,
you'll be speechless!
**[11:29] ---**
Okay do your best…
**[11:30] ---**
Anyway, I'm moving on
to my next training.
**[11:39] ---**
I see…
**[11:40] ---**
Contact those involved immediately.
**[11:45] ---**
Damn Akatsuki…
**[11:50] ---**
I saw it…
**[11:52] ---**
*Whoa!*
**[11:54] ---**
I saw what Big Bro Naruto
is training for.
**[11:57] ---**
He's working on an awesome jutsu
that'll be his alone!
**[12:01] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[12:04] ---**
You're here… Konohamaru.
**[12:06] ---**
Huh?
**[12:17] ---**
Asuma Sarutobi is…
**[12:51] ---**
Asuma…
**[12:53] ---**
Uncle Asuma…
**[13:00] ---**
*I see…Big Brother Naruto*
*has already decided…*
**[13:05] ---**
*But…*
**[13:09] ---**
*But I…*
**[13:12] ---**
Hey, where are you going?
**[13:14] ---**
I'm going to train.
**[13:18] ---**
Konohamaru…
**[13:20] ---**
If you're thinking about revenge…
**[13:23] ---**
I know!
**[13:25] ---**
I know it's impossible
for me right now.
**[13:28] ---**
But Big Bro Naruto
intends on going.
**[13:31] ---**
He'll probably perfect…
**[13:34] ---**
…his new jutsu in time.
**[13:36] ---**
– Wait up!
– Wait up!
**[13:40] ---**
I've got to catch up
to Big Bro!
**[13:46] ---**
Thank you for coming!
**[13:47] ---**
Thank you, it was delicious!
**[13:56] ---**
You're finally getting
the hang of Shadow Clones.
**[14:05] ---**
Let's go, Big Bro Naruto!
**[14:09] ---**
Sexy Onnanoko Tachi Jutsu!
**[14:11] ---**
Oh!
**[14:13] ---**
So that's what you've got!
**[14:17] ---**
I wasn't expecting a love triangle.
**[14:19] ---**
See! The sexiness paid off!
**[14:22] ---**
Hey Bro,
don't rest on your laurels, eh?
**[14:24] ---**
Maybe not.
**[14:26] ---**
But I'm still in the lead!
**[14:29] ---**
And I won't lose!
**[14:33] ---**
Are you ready? We'll start
step three of the Rasengan!
**[14:38] ---**
Okay!
**[14:42] ---**
Why're they making
Shadow Clones?
**[14:46] ---**
Rasengan is supposed to be
released by one person.
**[14:49] ---**
Well, Naruto is the teacher…
**[14:52] ---**
Still, aren't you happy,
Lady Tsunade?
**[14:55] ---**
Huh?
**[14:56] ---**
It seems you were right to
bet on him not mastering it.
**[15:00] ---**
U-Uh-huh.
**[15:02] ---**
Don't judge people arbitrarily.
**[15:05] ---**
The Rasengan is a damn hard jutsu.
**[15:10] ---**
Well, Lord Fourth
invented it after all.
**[15:15] ---**
And it was passed down to Jiraiya,
**[15:16] ---**
then Naruto and now,
to Konohamaru.
**[15:22] ---**
Life is worth living, after all.
**[15:25] ---**
And where will it take us next?
**[15:27] ---**
I hope we'll be around
to see it through!
**[15:31] ---**
The next generation, huh?
**[15:35] ---**
The passing of time
is interesting, isn't it?
**[15:42] ---**
You didn't forget anything,
did you?
**[15:44] ---**
You won't be coming home
for a while.
**[15:45] ---**
Don't worry. I'm packed and ready…
**[15:49] ---**
Hey, stop it!
**[15:51] ---**
Big Bro Naruto!
**[15:54] ---**
Hey, Konohamaru!
Did you come to see me off?
**[15:57] ---**
I have a complaint!
**[15:59] ---**
How can you leave
on a training journey
**[16:01] ---**
before I've mastered the Rasengan?!
**[16:04] ---**
It's your fault for dawdling.
**[16:08] ---**
Okay then!
**[16:09] ---**
I'll have it under my belt
by the time you get back
**[16:11] ---**
and I'll be real strong!
**[16:13] ---**
And I'm gonna be strong too!
**[16:17] ---**
By the way, I have a favor to ask.
**[16:20] ---**
What is it?
**[16:21] ---**
It's going to be a long journey,
**[16:23] ---**
so I want to entrust that thing
to you while I'm gone.
**[16:26] ---**
You mean your treasure, Big Bro?!
**[16:30] ---**
Shhh!!
**[16:32] ---**
How long are you going to
stand around and talk?!
**[16:34] ---**
Okay, okay. I'm going.
**[16:38] ---**
I'm counting on you, Konohamaru.
**[16:41] ---**
You got it!
**[16:46] ---**
Found it!
**[16:49] ---**
Now, I'll take this home and…
**[16:51] ---**
No…
**[16:53] ---**
I might as well…
**[16:57] ---**
I wonder how Big Bro is doing now.
**[17:02] ---**
He's probably training
with all his Shadow Clones.
**[17:06] ---**
Yeah, Big Bro has that option.
**[17:10] ---**
*I have to hurry and*
*perfect my Rasengan too.*
**[17:16] ---**
What was that?
**[17:23] ---**
The village is under attack…
**[17:25] ---**
Udon! Moegi!
**[17:27] ---**
We have to return to
the village now!
**[17:41] ---**
Everyone!
Hurry to the evacuation shelter!
**[17:50] ---**
You sure went at it, didn't you?
**[17:53] ---**
I will not forgive
a lowlife like you!
**[17:57] ---**
*Ebisu Sensei!*
**[17:59] ---**
*Get away now, Konohamaru!*
**[18:15] ---**
Big Bro Naruto…
**[18:19] ---**
We're rivals now!
**[18:22] ---**
One day, I'll duel with you
for the title of Hokage…
**[18:26] ---**
So look forward to that day,
Konohamaru!
**[18:35] ---**
Die…
**[18:46] ---**
Long ago I made a promise.
**[18:50] ---**
So I won't take the easy way out!
**[18:55] ---**
Because Big Bro Naruto won't be
waiting at the end of that road!
**[19:10] ---**
I bear the name of
the exalted Sarutobi Clan!
**[19:13] ---**
I am the genin known as
Konohamaru Sarutobi!
**[19:16] ---**
Remember me!
**[19:20] ---**
We did it!
We did it!
**[19:31] ---**
I heard, Konohamaru.
You took down one of the Pains!
**[19:36] ---**
I wasn't determined to catch up
to you just for fun, you know!
**[19:41] ---**
But that was nothing compared to
how you saved the entire village.
**[19:45] ---**
That's not true.
**[19:47] ---**
Besides, there were
many things I couldn't protect.
**[19:52] ---**
Big Bro Naruto…
**[19:54] ---**
There's something
I want to show you!
**[19:58] ---**
Hey!
**[20:00] ---**
Where are you going?
**[20:01] ---**
Just follow me!
**[20:05] ---**
Here!
**[20:07] ---**
Why'd you bring me to
the evacuation shelter?
**[20:09] ---**
We're going just up further!
**[20:17] ---**
The valuables warehouse?
**[20:19] ---**
And…
this is my family's storage space.
**[20:26] ---**
Tadah!
**[20:32] ---**
This…
**[20:33] ---**
…it's my jacket…
**[20:36] ---**
It's a precious treasure.
**[20:38] ---**
So I brought it here just in case.
**[20:41] ---**
I kept my promise!
**[20:43] ---**
Konohamaru… You're a great kid!
**[20:48] ---**
I know!
**[20:50] ---**
One day, I'm gonna challenge you
for the Hokage's seat!
**[20:54] ---**
So, from now on,
consider me your rival!
**[20:58] ---**
All right!
**[22:38] ---**
I can feel it clearly,
even from here.
**[22:41] ---**
The other half of
Super Gramps' power.
**[22:44] ---**
You cannot take me down.
I am essentially immortal now.
**[22:48] ---**
I have obtained eternity.
**[22:50] ---**
You idiot.
**[22:51] ---**
I ain't taking you down.
We will take you down.
**[22:57] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"To Rise Up."
**[23:00] ---**
Your time has come, Madara.
**[23:03] ---**
TO RISE UP
**[23:05] ---**
Tune in again!
