**[00:16] ---**
I want to try and gather
the unrestrained winds
**[00:21] ---**
I’ll run toward the horizon,
alongside the wave crests
**[00:26] ---**
I’ve made my decision,
**[00:29] ---**
even if there’s a long way to go
on that road.
**[00:31] ---**
I’ll continue towards the future I’ve planned
**[00:36] ---**
Time rushes us
The heartbeat speeds up
**[00:46] ---**
When I woke in the middle of a dream
I kept searching for that same light
**[00:56] ---**
Under the shining star-lit sky with
countless constellations and shadows
**[01:06] ---**
There was something beyond that…
What were you gazing at?
**[01:16] ---**
What were you gazing at?
**[01:43] ---**
It’s been a while since
I’ve eaten Ichiraku ramen!
**[01:47] ---**
Lately I’ve been away
from home on missions.
**[01:50] ---**
The bowl of ramen after
a mission…
**[01:53] ---**
it spreads to every muscle of the body
and becomes energy for tomorrow.
**[01:57] ---**
If you eat ramen
it drives fatigue away.
**[02:00] ---**
Ramen!
**[02:02] ---**
Ramen!
**[02:04] ---**
Ramen!
**[02:06] ---**
Ramen!
**[02:14] ---**
Temporarily closed…?
**[02:16] ---**
No, it can’t be…
**[02:19] ---**
I endured all the tough missions,
looking forward to Ichiraku ramen…
**[02:26] ---**
I can smell ramen!
**[02:28] ---**
What?
**[02:32] ---**
You're right!
**[02:33] ---**
Without a doubt…
Ramen is being made in there!
**[02:39] ---**
Ramen!
**[02:40] ---**
Mix it! Stretch it! Boil it up!
Burn Copper Pot Burn!
**[02:51] ---**
This smell…
**[02:53] ---**
It’s the smell of a soup
**[02:54] ---**
that’s never been on
the Ichiraku menu before.
**[02:57] ---**
Then… It's temporarily closed
to develop a new menu?
**[03:05] ---**
Who’s there?!
**[03:10] ---**
A large helping of miso char siu ramen!
With an egg please.
**[03:19] ---**
I see…
**[03:20] ---**
You were looking forward to
my ramen that much.
**[03:23] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[03:25] ---**
It’s okay to develop a new menu,
**[03:27] ---**
but I wish you’d do it
after the shop is closed.
**[03:35] ---**
Since you came all this way.
Give this a taste.
**[03:40] ---**
Could this be…
**[03:41] ---**
Ichiraku’s new menu?!
**[03:44] ---**
Let’s eat!
**[03:46] ---**
Wait a minute!
**[03:48] ---**
There are rules when you’re eating
a new ramen for the first time…
**[03:50] ---**
Rule ♪1!
**[03:52] ---**
Before you do anything,
**[03:53] ---**
you must first have
a sip to taste the soup.
**[03:59] ---**
– Delicious! – Delicious!
**[04:01] ---**
Next, you have to coat the noodles
in soup and eat.
**[04:07] ---**
Huh? It seems like something
is missing…
**[04:11] ---**
Let’s get to the point.
**[04:13] ---**
The noodles are outdone
by the soup!
**[04:17] ---**
This well-seasoned, rich soup
greatly surpasses
**[04:19] ---**
any of Ichiraku’s previous soups!
**[04:23] ---**
But! The noodles are
the same as always!
**[04:26] ---**
The balance is very bad.
**[04:29] ---**
I cannot give it a passing score!
**[04:31] ---**
That’s what I thought…
**[04:33] ---**
Oh… Don’t get so depressed…
**[04:37] ---**
Ayame, water! Water please!
**[04:41] ---**
Huh? Where’s Ayame?
**[04:43] ---**
With ramen like this…
**[04:46] ---**
I’ll never be able to get Ayame
back from the Ryonin.
**[04:53] ---**
Teuchi!
**[04:59] ---**
He’s just overtired.
**[05:01] ---**
I had him drink an energy drink,
so after a little rest he'll recover.
**[05:05] ---**
But… I think he should take a break
from the shop for a while.
**[05:11] ---**
He’s been using his arms
too much…
**[05:14] ---**
Look how swollen this is.
**[05:16] ---**
Come to think of it,
before he fell,
**[05:18] ---**
he said something about Ryonin
or whatever
**[05:21] ---**
did something to Ayame, I think…
**[05:24] ---**
Ayame is his daughter, right?
**[05:27] ---**
What’s Ryonin?
**[05:29] ---**
I don’t know…
**[05:30] ---**
Ryonin…
He’s referring to the Ninja Chef.
**[05:34] ---**
Ninja Chef?
**[05:37] ---**
Do you know about them, Choji?
**[05:39] ---**
I’ve heard rumors about them…
**[05:44] ---**
One of the problems Shinobi’s confront
on missions is the problem of meals!
**[05:50] ---**
Normally Food Pills were brought
with them,
**[05:52] ---**
but the main role of those
are to supply nutrients.
**[05:54] ---**
They have no taste.
**[05:55] ---**
If they could eat delicious food
while on missions,
**[05:58] ---**
would the success rate
of missions rise?
**[06:02] ---**
Based on that theory,
was born…
**[06:07] ---**
The Ninja Chef… Ryonin!
**[06:13] ---**
But what those Ninja Chef
have to do with Ayame?
**[06:18] ---**
They snatched her away…
**[06:20] ---**
What?!
**[06:21] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[06:23] ---**
Give us the details!
**[06:25] ---**
It was two weeks ago…
**[06:33] ---**
Ichiraku Ramen
**[06:35] ---**
Welcome!
**[06:37] ---**
The large serving,
here’s your order!
**[06:42] ---**
A good job as always, Teuchi!
**[06:46] ---**
Hakkaku!
**[06:48] ---**
His name is Hakkaku,
**[06:50] ---**
long ago we trained at
the same ramen shop…
**[06:53] ---**
He told me he is a Ninja Chef,
a Ryonin, these days.
**[06:58] ---**
Actually… I have a favor to ask you.
**[07:01] ---**
What is it? If it’s something I can do,
I'll cooperate.
**[07:05] ---**
The phantom recipe that
I heard you developed…
**[07:09] ---**
Please turn it over to me!
**[07:12] ---**
Ph-Phantom recipe?
What are you talking about?
**[07:15] ---**
To a chef, a recipe is
more precious than life!
**[07:19] ---**
I understand why
you want to hide it!
**[07:21] ---**
But… please! Give it to me!
**[07:25] ---**
I really had no clue.
**[07:28] ---**
But Hakkaku didn’t believe me…
**[07:34] ---**
Ayame. Let’s get to work
opening the shop…
**[07:38] ---**
What the… What’s this tray?
**[07:43] ---**
Ayame!
**[07:45] ---**
I have your daughter.
**[07:47] ---**
If you want her back,
hand over the “phantom recipe!”
**[07:52] ---**
Damn that Hakkaku!
**[07:55] ---**
Why didn’t you contact
the Hokage right away!
**[07:59] ---**
The Hokage could…
**[08:00] ---**
If I did that, I don’t know what
would happen to Ayame.
**[08:05] ---**
And he also wrote this
in the letter…
**[08:08] ---**
That if I can serve them
something impressive,
**[08:12] ---**
he’ll give up on the phantom recipe
and return my daughter safe.
**[08:16] ---**
But, you've got a way to win?
**[08:19] ---**
I don’t know.
**[08:20] ---**
But a chef’s challenged me
to a cooking match.
**[08:24] ---**
I have no choice but to do it.
**[08:25] ---**
So that’s why you’re developing
new ramen.
**[08:30] ---**
I was able to make the soup
exactly how I wanted to.
**[08:33] ---**
But…I just can't get the firm noodles
that go with the soup…
**[08:39] ---**
I can’t get Ayame back like this!
**[08:43] ---**
The cooking match is tomorrow…
What am I going to do?
**[08:53] ---**
I can’t imagine an Ichiraku
without Ayame.
**[08:59] ---**
Okay! Teuchi! We’ll help you.
**[09:03] ---**
We’ll make the best ramen…
**[09:05] ---**
And get Ayame back…
**[09:07] ---**
From the Ryonin!
**[09:13] ---**
You guys…
**[09:18] ---**
I'll teach you the basics
of making noodles.
**[09:22] ---**
Quickly mix the ingredients evenly.
**[09:25] ---**
If there are discrepancies,
**[09:26] ---**
there will be variations in
the taste of the noodles.
**[09:28] ---**
Next… Knead it.
**[09:30] ---**
If you don’t put this properly
the noodles won’t be firm.
**[09:34] ---**
Are you okay?
**[09:35] ---**
It's nothing. Don’t worry about me.
**[09:41] ---**
And…stretch the noodles!
**[09:47] ---**
It’s important for them to be
of a uniform thickness!
**[09:50] ---**
So there will be no differences
after boiling…
**[09:57] ---**
Try it.
**[10:01] ---**
It’s easy to say it…
**[10:03] ---**
but to actually make the noodles
is not so easy.
**[10:07] ---**
It takes five years to become
an accomplished chef in his own right.
**[10:10] ---**
To do it by the match tomorrow
is completely…
**[10:14] ---**
When it comes down to it,
**[10:15] ---**
I’ll have to give up this decrepit body
of mine to them.
**[10:20] ---**
Teuchi…
**[10:21] ---**
You’re not thinking about
when you lose, are you?
**[10:25] ---**
Th-That’s…
**[10:27] ---**
Because if we are doing this,
**[10:30] ---**
we’re doing it with the intention
of winning, believe it!
**[10:32] ---**
I absolutely don't forgive people
who hold a girl captive!
**[10:36] ---**
Cooking comes from the heart.
**[10:38] ---**
Technique and experience
aren’t everything!
**[10:42] ---**
No problem…
**[10:44] ---**
We’ll show them the real strength
of the Shinobi of Leaf Village!
**[10:56] ---**
Sorry to make you wait, Hakkaku!
**[11:02] ---**
The phantom recipe?
**[11:05] ---**
You can’t tell by looking at me?
**[11:08] ---**
I see. How foolish…
**[11:11] ---**
Let me tell you,
**[11:12] ---**
ramen like the stuff I ate at
your shop the other day can't win.
**[11:16] ---**
Is Ayame okay?
**[11:18] ---**
Father!
**[11:20] ---**
Ayame!
**[11:23] ---**
The emotional reunion comes
after the match.
**[11:26] ---**
I have a favor to ask.
Let me have some helpers.
**[11:29] ---**
I don’t think those kids are up
to the task, but…
**[11:34] ---**
Well… That’s okay.
**[11:36] ---**
Well, let’s start the cooking match!
**[11:44] ---**
Let’s see if you can satisfy
all of us Ninja Chef!
**[11:48] ---**
There are so many of them…
**[11:51] ---**
We don’t have time to stand around…
Let’s begin!
**[11:56] ---**
The preparation for the soup
is done!
**[11:57] ---**
I’ll prepare the ingredients
for the rest!
**[11:59] ---**
I’m leaving the noodles to you!
**[12:01] ---**
– Okay! – Okay!
**[12:02] ---**
Listen. Our noodles determine
whether Ayame will return or not!
**[12:08] ---**
We cannot fail!
**[12:10] ---**
Seems like he’s done a good job
with the soup…
**[12:13] ---**
The delicious aroma is
wafting over here.
**[12:15] ---**
Indeed, it’s whetting my appetite.
**[12:18] ---**
The noodles are the problem!
**[12:19] ---**
Can those kids really make noodles that
will go with that soup?
**[12:24] ---**
First, mix the ingredients!
**[12:27] ---**
They’re amateurs,
I thought so!
**[12:29] ---**
You can’t make decent noodles
with that hand movement!
**[12:33] ---**
We practiced making noodles
all night!
**[12:35] ---**
But, we didn’t make the noodles
we wanted to by morning…
**[12:39] ---**
Even so, we have to
make perfect noodles!
**[12:47] ---**
Hey hey. At least make us
something edible!
**[12:53] ---**
Quickly…
**[12:54] ---**
Uniformly…
**[12:55] ---**
Without discrepancies!
**[12:57] ---**
Next, knead it!
**[12:59] ---**
Hey, Sakura!
**[13:01] ---**
Look, it’s Kakashi Sensei.
**[13:03] ---**
Don’t play!
**[13:07] ---**
Oh…
**[13:08] ---**
Sakura…
**[13:14] ---**
Oww! Sakura, you just can’t control
your own crazy strength!
**[13:19] ---**
It’s your fault for playing around
at a time like this!
**[13:26] ---**
This is…
**[13:30] ---**
This is…
the last of the ingredients.
**[13:33] ---**
No problem. This time, let us
show you we’ll succeed!
**[13:39] ---**
Okay, I’m mixing.
**[13:40] ---**
Wait Choji! Leave this to me!
**[13:43] ---**
Naruto…
**[13:44] ---**
Hey, Sakura…
**[13:46] ---**
Huh?
**[13:47] ---**
We are Shinobi, right?
**[13:50] ---**
So then… Let’s show them
the Ninja way to make noodles!
**[13:56] ---**
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[14:09] ---**
Rasengen! “Ichiraku” version!
**[14:14] ---**
Wh-What?! Mixing ingredients
with Chakra?!
**[14:21] ---**
No, that way he’ll surely be able
to mix the ingredients uniformly!
**[14:27] ---**
And in micro units!
**[14:35] ---**
Sakura!
**[14:37] ---**
What?
**[14:39] ---**
Pervy Sage.
**[14:41] ---**
Naruto!
**[14:43] ---**
Cha!
**[14:51] ---**
Wh-What’s this crazy strength…?!
**[14:54] ---**
If she does that,
the noodles will become super firm!
**[15:01] ---**
Okay, Sakura!
**[15:03] ---**
Choji!
**[15:04] ---**
I, too…am a Shinobi of Leaf Village!
**[15:08] ---**
Partial Expansion Jutsu: Both Hands!
**[15:16] ---**
What?!
**[15:20] ---**
What outstanding noodles!
**[15:23] ---**
If those noodles are added to
Teuchi’s soup, this match would…
**[15:30] ---**
W-We cannot lose!
**[15:34] ---**
It’s for the future of the Ninja Chef!
**[15:37] ---**
Now they just have to be boiled, Teuchi!
**[15:40] ---**
Okay! Leave it to me!
**[15:42] ---**
Wait a minute!
**[15:46] ---**
When the ramen is done…
**[15:48] ---**
Who will you serve it to first?
**[15:51] ---**
Huh? Who…?
**[15:53] ---**
Th-That’s right…
That’s how it is!
**[15:56] ---**
That’s how what is?
**[15:58] ---**
Among the chefs…
**[15:59] ---**
there’s a cardinal rule
not to be forgotten.
**[16:02] ---**
The first guest to arrive is
the first guest served!
**[16:06] ---**
No matter how delicious
the food you make is…
**[16:09] ---**
if you break this cardinal rule,
you’re disqualified as a chef!
**[16:14] ---**
True, if a guy who came later
were eating before me,
**[16:17] ---**
then it would seriously pisses me off.
**[16:19] ---**
There are 100 Ninja Chefs here…
**[16:22] ---**
They all showed up at about
the same time!
**[16:25] ---**
So you have to serve ramen
to 100 people at the same time!
**[16:30] ---**
You’re four people…
**[16:31] ---**
Can you really serve at
the same time?
**[16:36] ---**
I said we’re Ninja, didn’t I?
**[16:39] ---**
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[16:44] ---**
What?!
**[16:55] ---**
Now! Lift them!
**[17:04] ---**
– Thanks for waiting. Here you go!
– Thanks for waiting. Here you go!
**[17:07] ---**
– Oh… – Oh…
**[17:09] ---**
Th-The taste is the issue!
lf you don’t satisfy us, you lose!
**[17:25] ---**
Delicious!
**[17:27] ---**
– Delicious! – Delicious!
**[17:31] ---**
I’ve never had ramen this delicious.
**[17:35] ---**
So then…
**[17:36] ---**
We win!
**[17:39] ---**
– We did it! – We did it!
**[17:42] ---**
The truth is…
**[17:43] ---**
We Ninja Chefs are at
the end of our rope…
**[17:47] ---**
End of your rope?
**[17:48] ---**
What do you mean by that?
**[17:51] ---**
We endeavored to make
delicious meals to eat during missions…
**[17:57] ---**
We thought to make delicious food,
to fill your stomach…
**[18:00] ---**
that can be eaten anywhere…
**[18:04] ---**
But we pursued taste too far.
**[18:07] ---**
It was too delicious, people were
compelled to overeat.
**[18:11] ---**
And as a result…
**[18:17] ---**
Ninja gained weight,
and it interfered with their missions.
**[18:22] ---**
And some people are now saying,
**[18:24] ---**
“we don’t need
the Ninja Chefs anymore.”
**[18:28] ---**
– Oh… – Oh…
**[18:29] ---**
For us Ninja Chefs
to continue,
**[18:32] ---**
we had to get our hands on
the “phantom” recipe out there
**[18:35] ---**
in the cooking world!
**[18:37] ---**
Recipe?
**[18:39] ---**
If we use this recipe,
**[18:40] ---**
we can improve the performance
of Shinobi without causing a burden.
**[18:44] ---**
There’s such recipe…?
**[18:47] ---**
I hear, it’s called
“the scum recipe.”
**[18:49] ---**
– The scum recipe?!
– The scum recipe?!
**[18:51] ---**
We've gathered information
from everywhere…
**[18:54] ---**
As a result,
**[18:55] ---**
we learned that the scum recipe
was at "Ichiraku" which Teuchi run.
**[19:00] ---**
– What?! – What?!
**[19:02] ---**
I-I don’t know!
**[19:03] ---**
There’s no reason something like that
should be at my shop!
**[19:05] ---**
There’s someone who heard it!
**[19:09] ---**
I've got "the scum recipe"
at my shop, so…
**[19:12] ---**
Oh… Teuchi…?
**[19:14] ---**
Oh. I might have that.
**[19:16] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[19:17] ---**
I thought so!
**[19:19] ---**
To be precise…
lt’s the “scum removal recipe.”
**[19:25] ---**
– Scum removal?
– Scum removal?
**[19:26] ---**
The trick to making delicious soup…
**[19:28] ---**
is how well you
remove the scum.
**[19:32] ---**
So I, too, studied a lot.
**[19:33] ---**
Eventually, I worked out a recipe
that can remove the scum effectively.
**[19:39] ---**
Usually it's called
“the scum recipe” for short…
**[19:43] ---**
I never thought that
this misunderstanding would arise.
**[19:46] ---**
That’s a pretty big omission.
**[19:49] ---**
Geez. That’s a stupid punch line…
**[19:53] ---**
We won the cooking match,
**[19:55] ---**
so keep your promise
and return Ayame!
**[19:58] ---**
That’s right! Where is she?!
**[20:01] ---**
Father!
**[20:03] ---**
Aya…me?
**[20:12] ---**
Ayame…is that you?
**[20:14] ---**
Can’t you tell by looking?
**[20:16] ---**
B-But Ayame is like…
**[20:22] ---**
The food they make is
so delicious, I overeat…
**[20:28] ---**
Did I gain that much weight?
**[20:30] ---**
Ayame!
**[20:36] ---**
Ichiraku’s new menu?
**[20:38] ---**
The thing we made
at the cooking challenge?
**[20:41] ---**
No, a diet ramen
that’s popular among girls.
**[20:44] ---**
Diet Ramen?
**[20:50] ---**
It’s super popular!
**[20:55] ---**
Oh, come on in, Naruto.
**[20:57] ---**
You’ve regained
your former shape…
**[21:00] ---**
It’s thanks to my father’s
diet ramen!
**[21:03] ---**
Huh? Where's your father?
**[21:05] ---**
Well… While he was joining me
in eating the diet ramen…
**[21:09] ---**
Hey… Naruto.
**[21:15] ---**
That’s a little too thin, believe it.
**[21:31] ---**
The wind blows, Ah…
**[21:34] ---**
The pain,
The memories won’t disappear
**[21:38] ---**
What should be brought along?
**[21:41] ---**
Assemble them into a piece.
**[21:44] ---**
There is no second chance, never
**[21:47] ---**
How foolish it is to throw away
**[21:50] ---**
Acting so innocently, Ah…
**[21:54] ---**
The images.
**[21:58] ---**
It probably will not end
**[22:04] ---**
It probably will not end
**[22:10] ---**
Burn that love-filled heart,
**[22:13] ---**
Sail across a thousand dreams
**[22:16] ---**
Running freely
**[22:19] ---**
To take hold of the world in hand
**[22:23] ---**
The clouds scatter
**[22:26] ---**
The sun sets yet again
**[22:29] ---**
The solo parade begins to move.
**[22:36] ---**
Adventure, Lucky Day, Heart Beat, Rising,
**[22:39] ---**
Decisive, Encounter, Life, Mutual Love
**[22:50] ---**
Does anyone have anything
to ask about this mission?
**[22:53] ---**
I’ve got a question!
**[22:53] ---**
Why should I have to go on
a mission with this group?
**[22:55] ---**
Okay, let’s move on.
Everyone ready?
**[22:57] ---**
Hey, I’ve got a question, believe it!
**[23:00] ---**
As for the mission details,
**[23:01] ---**
we’re to eliminate the Demon of the Ocean
in the Land of Oceans.
**[23:03] ---**
You guys are going to get
fired up for me
**[23:04] ---**
since you came to serve under me!
**[23:05] ---**
Just a minute.
Hey, listen to me!
**[23:07] ---**
Now, let’s get going!
**[23:08] ---**
Stop complaining and
just come with me!
**[23:11] ---**
Listen to me, I say.
Listen! Listen! Listen!
**[23:13] ---**
