**[00:07] ---**
We are Fighting Dreamers aiming high
**[00:12] ---**
Fighting Dreamers
don't care what people think about them
**[00:16] ---**
Fighting Dreamers
follow what they believe
**[00:19] ---**
Oli Oli Oli Oh! Just go my way
**[00:23] ---**
Right here right now (Bang)
Hit it straight like a line drive!
**[00:26] ---**
Right here right now (Burn)
**[00:30] ---**
Down a difficult road
filled with endless struggles
**[00:33] ---**
Where do you think you are going
following someone else's map?
**[00:37] ---**
An insightful crow comes along
to tear up the map
**[00:44] ---**
Now open your eyes and
take a look at the truth (Yeah!)
**[00:51] ---**
There's nothing to lose,
so let's GO!!!
**[00:58] ---**
We are Fighting Dreamers aiming high
**[01:02] ---**
Fighting Dreamers
don't care what people think about them
**[01:06] ---**
Fighting Dreamers
follow what they believe
**[01:09] ---**
Oli Oli Oli Oh!
Just go my way
**[01:13] ---**
Right here right now (Bang)
Hit it straight like a line drive!
**[01:16] ---**
Right here right now (Burn)
We're gonna do it and do our best!
**[01:20] ---**
Right here right now (Bang)
Hit it straight like a line drive!
**[01:24] ---**
Right here right now (Burn)
We're gonna do it and do our best! BANG!
**[01:51] ---**
We’re almost at
the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
**[01:54] ---**
Is everybody here?
**[01:55] ---**
– Yes, sir! – Yes, sir!
**[01:59] ---**
Big Brother Omasa,
we’re missing one!
**[02:02] ---**
What? Who is it?!
**[02:06] ---**
It’s Idate! Morino Idate!
**[02:10] ---**
Darn, he's such a hopeless kid!
**[02:12] ---**
What should we do?
Shall we wait?
**[02:14] ---**
We have no choice…
**[02:17] ---**
What the--?!
**[02:18] ---**
Who is it?!
**[02:21] ---**
You people are from the Wasabi Family
of the Land of Tea, correct?
**[02:25] ---**
Who are you!
**[02:30] ---**
You should know your place.
**[02:33] ---**
Hooligans like you people
are no match for a Shinobi!
**[02:53] ---**
Please don’t worry.
I won’t take your lives.
**[02:56] ---**
If you’ve learned from this,
**[02:57] ---**
you should give up the race
at Todoroki Great Shrine.
**[03:06] ---**
Blast it!
**[03:09] ---**
I have to at least deliver this letter
to the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[03:34] ---**
OK! Mission! Mission!
I’m so eager to do it!
**[03:40] ---**
But Kakashi Sensei is not here.
**[03:43] ---**
Is he late as usual?
**[03:45] ---**
No, Kakashi will not be coming.
**[03:49] ---**
It's Old Lady Tsunade!
**[03:51] ---**
Don’t call me an old lady!
**[03:54] ---**
Excuse me… Lady Hokage…
**[03:57] ---**
What do you mean by
Kakashi Sensei will not be coming?
**[04:00] ---**
As you three already know,
**[04:03] ---**
most of the Jonin including Kakashi
are on different missions.
**[04:07] ---**
This time, the three of you will have
to execute the mission by yourselves.
**[04:12] ---**
This is a B-rank mission,
escorting an important figure!
**[04:16] ---**
Escorting an important figure…
**[04:19] ---**
Of course,
depending on the situation,
**[04:20] ---**
the mission has the possibility
of becoming an A-rank.
**[04:25] ---**
And, who are we protecting?
**[04:28] ---**
Don’t know…
**[04:29] ---**
What do you mean
“don’t know”?!
**[04:32] ---**
In the neighboring nation
of the Land of Tea,
**[04:34] ---**
they have a Dedication Ceremony
at the Todoroki Great Shrine
**[04:36] ---**
once every four years.
**[04:38] ---**
We’ve received a request
to escort the runner
**[04:39] ---**
who will be participating in
the race that will be held there.
**[04:43] ---**
But an assailant from the opponent’s side
**[04:46] ---**
attacked the messengers
before they arrived here.
**[04:51] ---**
Assailant?
**[04:52] ---**
Excuse me, but I still don’t
quite understand the mission.
**[04:56] ---**
Well, you should get the details
directly from Boss Jirocho.
**[05:01] ---**
Boss Jirocho?! Oh yeah!
The boss from that time!
**[05:06] ---**
That’s it.
**[05:08] ---**
Now that you three understand,
depart immediately!
**[05:10] ---**
Get to the Land of Tea by today.
Snap to it!
**[05:13] ---**
– Yes! – All right.
**[05:14] ---**
Okay!
**[05:14] ---**
Roger that!
**[05:19] ---**
I’m counting on you.
**[05:21] ---**
Mission! Help an Old Friend
in the Land of Tea
**[05:34] ---**
Hey Sakura, aren’t you hungry?
**[05:37] ---**
Well, a little bit…
**[05:39] ---**
Then it’s decided!
**[05:40] ---**
And perfect timing!
There’s a teahouse right over there!
**[05:45] ---**
Hey, Naruto.
**[05:55] ---**
You’re here…?
**[05:57] ---**
Aoi Rokusho has now arrived.
**[06:01] ---**
I had you go through
all that trouble,
**[06:03] ---**
but Jirocho of the Wasabi
does not know when to give up.
**[06:07] ---**
Is he still trying to take part
in the race at Todoroki Great Shrine?
**[06:11] ---**
That’s right.
**[06:12] ---**
And there’s new information
that they have also hired Shinobi.
**[06:17] ---**
I see…
**[06:19] ---**
Then next time, let’s beat them
to a pulp at the race…
**[06:29] ---**
Welcome!
**[06:30] ---**
Ma’am, I’ll have sweet bean soup.
**[06:31] ---**
Then I’ll have dumplings.
**[06:33] ---**
How about you, Sasuke?
**[06:35] ---**
Jelly…
**[06:36] ---**
All right, please wait for a moment.
**[06:46] ---**
Ninja from the Leaf…
**[06:47] ---**
I’m gonna work so hard!
**[06:50] ---**
Naruto, don’t take unnecessary action
by yourself.
**[06:53] ---**
Oh, okay.
**[06:55] ---**
Having sweet bean soup
when it's so nice outside.
**[06:58] ---**
The Ninja profession sure
is carefree!
**[07:01] ---**
What did you say?
**[07:04] ---**
Things must really be peaceful
for the Leaf Village.
**[07:07] ---**
Such a dense-looking
bunch of guys…
**[07:10] ---**
What?!
**[07:11] ---**
Hey! I didn’t know there was
such a cutie here.
**[07:15] ---**
I take back that previous comment!
**[07:17] ---**
Ah…pardon me.
**[07:19] ---**
I'm Idate Morino.
**[07:21] ---**
What’s your name, young lady?
**[07:23] ---**
Don’t you talk to Sakura
in such a familiar tone!
**[07:26] ---**
Sakura… That’s a good name.
**[07:30] ---**
Hey, even a chance meeting is due
to karma from a previous life.
**[07:33] ---**
Why don’t we talk about our future?
**[07:36] ---**
Huh? Talk about…the future?
**[07:40] ---**
I’m talking about you quitting
the Ninja life and becoming my bride…
**[07:45] ---**
Hey you! How dare you
hit on her all of a sudden!
**[07:48] ---**
Don’t be silly!
**[07:50] ---**
Just joking.
**[07:52] ---**
But hey, you fool!
**[07:54] ---**
Idate here hates Ninja!
**[07:58] ---**
If you wander around
the Land of Tea anymore,
**[08:00] ---**
there’ll be a price to pay!
**[08:01] ---**
That’s amusing! Bring it on!
**[08:08] ---**
Hey, Naruto!
**[08:10] ---**
Ridiculous! We don’t have time
to waste on a hooligan.
**[08:14] ---**
Be quiet, Sasuke!
**[08:16] ---**
I’m not going to forgive a guy
who makes fun of Shinobi!
**[08:19] ---**
I’m going to punish this guy…
**[08:21] ---**
Huh?
**[08:22] ---**
He’s gone…
**[08:24] ---**
Impossible!
I didn’t even notice…
**[08:29] ---**
Where did that guy run away to?!
**[08:31] ---**
Here, thank you for waiting.
**[08:34] ---**
Dang it!
**[08:36] ---**
Thank you for your patronage.
**[08:39] ---**
What? Two bills?
**[08:42] ---**
This is…?
**[08:43] ---**
Oh, that kid who was here left,
saying that you guys would pay.
**[08:48] ---**
That guy!
How dare he make fools of us!
**[08:52] ---**
The sound of footsteps is far off…
He has considerable speed!
**[08:56] ---**
He made us look like idiots!
**[08:58] ---**
I can’t stay quiet.
We have to chase him!
**[09:02] ---**
Missus, thank you very much.
I’ll leave the money here.
**[09:06] ---**
Thanks!
**[09:08] ---**
All the customers today
seem to be in such a hurry.
**[09:13] ---**
He has incredible speed.
He must have trained very hard.
**[09:17] ---**
Who is he?
**[09:18] ---**
Doesn’t matter, we’re definitely
going to catch up to him!
**[09:24] ---**
Stupid Ninja!
**[09:26] ---**
There’s no way
they can catch up to me!
**[09:41] ---**
Owww!
**[09:43] ---**
Darn it… Swift Runner Idate
makes a mistake of a lifetime!
**[09:51] ---**
Serves you right!
**[09:56] ---**
You have some nerve,
trying to run away from us.
**[10:02] ---**
I’m so sorry!
**[10:04] ---**
Huh?
**[10:05] ---**
I’m sorry…
**[10:06] ---**
I had my wallet stolen and was at a loss,
then you guys showed up.
**[10:11] ---**
So I did that…
**[10:15] ---**
You kinda feel sorry
after hearing his story.
**[10:17] ---**
Then you should have said that
from the start!
**[10:21] ---**
Ow! Huh…?
**[10:24] ---**
What’s this?
**[10:25] ---**
Don’t touch it!
**[10:29] ---**
This is mine!
**[10:32] ---**
Wh-What the…?!
**[10:35] ---**
On your mark.
**[10:38] ---**
Get set…
**[10:39] ---**
Go!
**[10:41] ---**
Weights?
**[10:43] ---**
Try to catch me now, you idiots!
**[10:46] ---**
Hey! He escaped again!
**[10:48] ---**
That guy!
**[10:51] ---**
He simply doesn’t get it!
**[10:56] ---**
Is he for real?
**[10:58] ---**
What a speed…!
**[11:02] ---**
No way!
Even we can’t catch up to him…?
**[11:09] ---**
That’s it. We don't have a chance
of catching up.
**[11:12] ---**
Dang it! He'll get it
when I see him next time!
**[11:23] ---**
All of you, thanks for coming.
**[11:27] ---**
Begging your pardon!
Begging your pardon!
**[11:30] ---**
I was born and raised
in the Leaf Village in the Land of Fire.
**[11:34] ---**
I was bathed in birth water
at “Ichiraku Ramen.”
**[11:37] ---**
My given name is Naruto
and the surname is Uzumaki.
**[11:39] ---**
People call me--
**[11:40] ---**
Loser!
**[11:42] ---**
Loser…? Nah, not that!
**[11:47] ---**
You’re funny as usual.
**[11:49] ---**
Boss Jirocho,
you're looking good yourself.
**[11:52] ---**
Hey, Naruto!
**[11:54] ---**
That's okay.
A boy should be this spunky.
**[11:59] ---**
The greetings seem to be done,
so I’ll get to the main topic.
**[12:03] ---**
The Fifth Hokage told us to get
the details of this mission from you.
**[12:08] ---**
Yes, in fact…
**[12:12] ---**
Do you know of the Dedication Ceremony
at the Todoroki Great Shrine?
**[12:18] ---**
To…Todo…what?
**[12:21] ---**
Well, make yourselves comfortable.
**[12:25] ---**
The legend goes…
**[12:30] ---**
A long time ago,
in order to subdue a storm,
**[12:33] ---**
Ryuko’s Jewels were dedicated
to the Todoroki Great Shrine
**[12:37] ---**
and the storm subsided.
**[12:42] ---**
It became a customary event
that happens once every four years.
**[12:46] ---**
At first, it was just to dedicate the jewels,
but several decades ago,
**[12:50] ---**
it became a festival in which
the first-place runner
**[12:52] ---**
became the man of the year.
**[12:57] ---**
In recent years, the festival has
taken on another face.
**[13:03] ---**
For ages now,
in this port town of Degarashi,
**[13:06] ---**
two families,
the Wasabi and the Wagarashi,
**[13:09] ---**
have controlled local operations
and policed the town.
**[13:13] ---**
It’s embarrassing,
**[13:14] ---**
but conflict between the two families
has never ceased and
**[13:17] ---**
there have been numerous skirmishes
over territorial rights.
**[13:22] ---**
As the struggle intensified,
**[13:24] ---**
the town residents became entangled
and even got injured…
**[13:30] ---**
In order to put a stop to the conflict,
for the first time,
**[13:33] ---**
there was talk of some kind of mediation
in the presence of the lord.
**[13:39] ---**
And it was agreed that the power holder
of the town
**[13:42] ---**
would be determined in a contest
rather than through brawls.
**[13:46] ---**
So that contest is…
**[13:48] ---**
It is the Todoroki Great Shrine
Dedication Ceremony
**[13:50] ---**
that is held every four years.
**[13:55] ---**
Four years ago, the Wagarashi
easily won by hiring a Shinobi,
**[13:59] ---**
and we have learned that
they've hired a Shinobi again this year.
**[14:04] ---**
In order to counteract that,
**[14:05] ---**
we sent messengers to
the Hidden Leaf Village with a request,
**[14:10] ---**
but they were ambushed and attacked.
**[14:22] ---**
I beg you guys!
**[14:25] ---**
Please lend us your power.
**[14:27] ---**
We cannot afford to lose this race
to the Wagarashi Family!
**[14:33] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[14:35] ---**
And, who do you want us
to escort?
**[14:38] ---**
Oh, so you’ll take this job?
**[14:44] ---**
Did you call for me, Boss?
**[14:55] ---**
Oh, you guys know each other?
Then that makes the story fast.
**[15:01] ---**
That might not actually
be the case…
**[15:07] ---**
Boss Jirocho is an important person!
**[15:10] ---**
By rights, he shouldn’t bow
his head to Ninja like you!
**[15:14] ---**
Even if he did bow his head,
I’d flatly refuse to escort a guy like you.
**[15:19] ---**
Oh yeah?!
**[15:20] ---**
As if I’d go with some guy who came
from who-knows-where!
**[15:25] ---**
"Some guy from who-knows-where"?!
**[15:28] ---**
I am the brilliant Ninja,
Naruto Uzumaki,
**[15:30] ---**
who will eventually inherit
the name of Hokage!
**[15:33] ---**
Hah! Hokage is no big deal!
**[15:35] ---**
Hah! The boss of hooligans
is even less of a big deal!
**[15:38] ---**
You idiot! Boss Jirocho is
a very honorable person!
**[15:42] ---**
The Hokage is a great Shinobi
**[15:44] ---**
who puts his life on the line
to protect the village!
**[15:47] ---**
Boss Jirocho is a very,
very, very honorable person
**[15:50] ---**
who always puts his life
on the line to protect the town!
**[15:53] ---**
Hokage is more, more,
more incredible!
**[16:11] ---**
Even though it’s a tourist resort,
everything seems so expensive.
**[16:15] ---**
Sorry about that.
lt sure is expensive, isn't it?
**[16:17] ---**
Oh no, I didn’t mean…
**[16:19] ---**
We actually don’t want to sell
at this kind of price,
**[16:21] ---**
but after the Wagarashi family
came into power…
**[16:25] ---**
P-Please forgive me!
**[16:27] ---**
How dare you?!
**[16:28] ---**
Do you know who you have
to thank to do business?
**[16:31] ---**
Are you actually thinking about turning
against the Wagarashi Family?
**[16:34] ---**
N-Not at all.
But I have to get paid…
**[16:38] ---**
You’re slow to understand.
**[16:40] ---**
– Hey! – Yes, sir!
**[16:42] ---**
P-Please stop!
**[16:45] ---**
Huh! First of all, we’ll destroy you…
**[16:49] ---**
Wh-Who are you?!
**[16:52] ---**
Get out of here before you get hurt!
**[16:55] ---**
– What?! – What?!
**[16:56] ---**
Please run away!
**[16:57] ---**
These people are from
the Wagarashi…
**[16:59] ---**
It’ll be fine.
**[17:01] ---**
– You punk! – Wise guy!
**[17:08] ---**
We’ll let you go for today!
**[17:10] ---**
If you’ve learned your lesson,
never defy us again, kid!
**[17:15] ---**
Or you’ll pay when
we see you next time!
**[17:22] ---**
– Y-You won’t get away with this!
– Y-You won’t get away with this!
**[17:25] ---**
Young man…
**[17:27] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[17:29] ---**
What a refreshing feeling!
**[17:32] ---**
We definitely need Boss Jirocho's
Wasabi Family to win the upcoming race.
**[17:37] ---**
Sasuke…
**[17:39] ---**
Yeah…
**[17:52] ---**
Boss…
**[17:53] ---**
Of all people,
did you have to ask the Leaf Shinobi?
**[17:58] ---**
Don’t sulk like that, Idate.
**[18:01] ---**
I'm not sulking.
**[18:03] ---**
It’s just that…
**[18:05] ---**
Idate…
**[18:06] ---**
I believe in you more
than anybody else.
**[18:10] ---**
The rest depends on you.
**[18:13] ---**
Why don’t you believe
in people a little?
**[18:24] ---**
Idate…
**[18:26] ---**
please run for this town.
**[18:29] ---**
I beg you!
**[18:31] ---**
Boss…
**[18:34] ---**
Okay.
**[18:35] ---**
Even in exchange for my life…
**[18:48] ---**
Wow, I didn’t think it was going
to be this big!
**[18:53] ---**
But what kind of race is it?
**[18:55] ---**
I’ll explain the course so
a dummy like you can understand.
**[19:00] ---**
The starting point is Degarashi Port.
**[19:03] ---**
After the start, you head for
Modoroki Shrine which is the midway point.
**[19:06] ---**
This is Modoroki Shrine…?
**[19:08] ---**
Yes… It seems the fastest way
to get to Modoroki Shrine
**[19:11] ---**
is to use a boat from here.
**[19:14] ---**
Then you take one of two Ryuko's jewels
from Modoroki Shrine and
**[19:17] ---**
dedicate that jewel at the
Todoroki Great Shrine on Ouzu Island.
**[19:22] ---**
That's the only rule
for the race.
**[19:25] ---**
So shortcuts, obstructions,
and secret maneuvers are all allowed.
**[19:30] ---**
So hiring a Ninja is not
a violation of the rule either.
**[19:33] ---**
Who are the Ninja that
the other side hired?
**[19:37] ---**
They’re hiding somewhere
and checking the situation.
**[19:40] ---**
Don’t be careless, Naruto!
**[19:41] ---**
R-Right!
**[19:43] ---**
You guys can just relax and watch.
Don’t follow me around!
**[19:47] ---**
What?!
**[19:48] ---**
I’m saying I don’t want
an impediment.
**[19:51] ---**
You!
**[19:52] ---**
Calm down.
Let’s join forces here.
**[19:54] ---**
– Not with a guy like this!
– Not with a guy like this!
**[19:57] ---**
They seem to strangely be
in harmony, these two.
**[20:01] ---**
All right, everybody!
**[20:02] ---**
The Todoroki Great Shrine Race
will start soon!
**[20:06] ---**
Wasabi Family's runner,
ldate Morino!
**[20:14] ---**
Idate…Morino?
**[20:17] ---**
Wagarashi Family’s runner,
Fukusuke Hikyakuya!
**[20:28] ---**
On your mark!
**[20:52] ---**
Start!
**[20:55] ---**
All right! We’re going too!
**[20:58] ---**
Wh-What the--?!
**[21:02] ---**
Is he running away?!
**[21:03] ---**
Where are you going, Idate?!
**[21:05] ---**
Hey, wait!
**[21:08] ---**
Wh-What is he doing…?
**[21:13] ---**
Wait!
**[21:19] ---**
I believe your promise,
its a true heart give me courage
**[21:24] ---**
Always I feel it
the precious time with you
**[21:28] ---**
On your still shoulder
**[21:33] ---**
I feel the wind that blows
towards tomorrow
**[21:38] ---**
The city lights are like pieces of stars
**[21:44] ---**
That hold us together
**[21:49] ---**
“Each one of us glows differently,”
**[21:58] ---**
you say laughingly
**[22:01] ---**
but you look most dazzling
**[22:07] ---**
Like a comet,
**[22:11] ---**
like the rainbow after the storm
**[22:18] ---**
You bring light into my heart
**[22:26] ---**
Being lost can be the answer
**[22:36] ---**
Let’s promise we won’t cheat
**[22:44] ---**
Uh... like a shooting star,
we do go ahead.
**[22:51] ---**
What the heck is he thinking?!
That idiot!
**[22:53] ---**
So fast. He's moving at
an incredible speed.
**[22:57] ---**
Darn it! The opponent's already
far out at sea!
**[22:59] ---**
This is bad!
**[23:00] ---**
If the distance between them gets
any greater, it'll be impossible to win!
**[23:03] ---**
That idiot!
**[23:04] ---**
– Kick it up a notch, Sakura!
– Right!
**[23:06] ---**
We're gonna bring him back at all cost
and make up the difference!
**[23:10] ---**
Next time: "The Race is On!
Trouble on the High Seas!"
**[23:15] ---**
Don't miss it!
