Hey boys, listen up!
Humans aren't such a big deal
Who needs tomorrow anyway,
so don't hide your fists
You're not old enough
to sell your dreams away to uncertainty
Hey boys, you're the only ones
who can pull the trigger in your heart
All the kids said
We're living in this senseless, ridiculous,
awesome world right at this moment,
All the kids said
Don't forget every truth or lie
All the kids said
We're way too young to die
In this empty town lined with empty faces
All the kids took off
into this windless night
Because they want to change something
- Sumptuous meal! - Sumptuous meal!
I feel a little thrown off balance.
Let's regroup, everybody!
Go!
I'm itchy, Elder Brother.
Yeah, itchy...
Huh?!
My punches aren't having any effect whatsoever.
Naruto...
This doesn't look good.
Again!
Huh?
I It itches, Elder Brother.
Yeah... feels like I'm getting a rash.
D Damn!
I'm not done yet!
Stop it, Naruto!
It's futile...
- You won't swagger like that for long! - You won't swagger like that for long!
This feels so good!
What's up with those guys anyway?
You're an idiot brat as always.
You have it hard, don't you?
Having to go on a mission with that failure of a brat.
Don't you, Iruka?
Why, Mizuki?!
I'm asking you, please stop this kind of foolishness!
Are you intending to betray your comrades from the village again?
Comrades?
That's right! Your comrades from the Leaf Village
with whom you shared both pleasures and pain!
You can understand that, can't you?
Comrades... huh?
As usual, you are naïve, aren't you... Iruka?
What I believe in is power!
Don't think you can shackle me with such vague bonds like that of comrades!
Mizuki...
I will soon get my hands on the ultimate power!
Lord Orochimaru's power!
Orochimaru?!
Then I'll teach you a lesson!
About how meaningless it is...
that thing you and the other Leaf guys describe as camaraderie or whatever!
Mizuki...
You were an excellent Shinobi despite having committed that crime, you...
Don't talk so knowingly!
Damn! They're dodging all my attacks!
Iruka, if you insist so much, why don't you show me?
What degree of feeling you really have for your comrades...
I wonder whether you'll really be able to stop me?
Come!
Wait!
Naruto! Forget about these guys! Pursue Mizuki!
Damn...!
I'm gonna settle this later without fail!
Elder Brother, that guy went off.
They all went off, didn't they?
Elder Brother, could this be a game of hide and go seek?
Hide-and -go -seek! Hide-and -go -seek!
So does that mean we're "It"?
Those jerks!
Making us "It" without even deciding by scissors paper rock!
- Let's go, Raijin! - Okay!
A New Squad! Two People and a Dog?!
Over here... Iruka.
Hurry, Naruto!
Don't be fooled this time!
Shut up! It's 100 years too soon to be arguing with me!
I'm telling you,
if you dilly dally the situation's gonna get really troublesome again!
What?!
Found you!
Good job, huh, Elder Brother!
Yeah!
I don't have time to be dealing with these guys!
Elder Brother, hide and go seek is fun, but aren't you getting hungry?
You're really something, aren't you, Raijin?
Leave some for your Elder Brother!
Of course, I will!
Hey, you idiot brothers!
- Huh? - Huh?
This is no time to be eating!
I'm telling you, it's foolhardy to be fighting these guys!
I already know that!
Mizuki! Where are you?!
What's the matter... Iruka?
Weren't you gonna stop me?
Stop this foolishness, Mizuki!
Come on out, Mizuki!
Always be aware of an attack from behind...
For a Shinobi, isn't that a basic rule?
Nicely done, Iruka.
Pretty good!
Always read behind the surface of your enemy's bluffs...
For a Shinobi isn't that a basic rule?
That's my line!
What's that?
A Smoke Bomb?
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
- Come on over! Catch us if you can! - Come on over! Catch us if you can!
Elder Brother, they're increasing! They're increasing!
Raijin, this must be super hide and go seek, don't you think?
Yeah. That's right!
A decoy strategy, huh? You thought it through.
We can buy some time this way.
All right, now's our chance...
- Super, super hide and go seek! - Super, super hide and go seek!
There are, there are two Old Lady Tsunades!
You're talking about the idiotic strength, huh?
Haven't you come to your senses yet?!
Shut up!
Why are you so obsessed with power!
Because that, if anything, is everything!
Reconsider, Mizuki! It isn't too late yet!
You are naive!
Don't you understand the situation?!
What's the matter? Come on and attack, Iruka!
You're not my enemy!
You're my comrade from the same village!
I told you, I'm tired of that kind of song and dance!
And moreover... you're my colleague!
You're a member of the same family that inherited the same Will of Fire!
Will of Fire, huh?
Yes, that's right.
Therefore, please stop the foolishness, Mizuki!
It irks me most when you say things like that!
Mizuki!
Since we're old acquaintances I was gonna kill you quickly.
But now I've decided against that.
You're gonna have some fun...
I'll give you a taste of how it feels
to be killed slowly by your so called comrade!
Hey, Naruto... How long are you planning to be like that?
It's just a matter of time till those guys find you!
I found you!
What?! They found us!
All right! This is it!
Hide-and -go -seek!
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Elder Brother, super hide and go seek again?
I'm getting bored with this.
Shadow Clone again?!
As always, you have no new tricks, huh!
Just leave it to me!
All right! Go!
- Okay! - Go!
Wh What?!
What kind of game is this?
Wow, they're going so fast.
I see... Not bad.
I I feel sick... Elder Brother.
I'm woozy...
Now! Catch them!
Huh?!
You jerks...
What do you think you're doing?
The preparation's done!
Here it goes! You fatso Herculean brothers!
Concentrate... I must concentrate...
Stop putting on airs!
A guy like you, who's weaker than me!
Yeah! That's right, isn't it?!
You always excelled over anything I did, didn't you... ?
I was always being helped by you, wasn't I?
One year has passed already, hasn't it?
It's not so easy to laugh, hiding your sadness.
Your teacher told me that you are the center of the laughter.
I'm not sad at all!
It's an honor for Shinobi to die during their missions!
My dad and mom...
are heroes who protected this village from the Demon Fox!
And I am the child of those heroes.
That's why I'm not sad even though I'm alone...
These tears are from the happiness...
Enough already.
I'm always aware that you are feeling Ionely.
But you are not alone.
All of Leaf's Shinobi have the "Will of Fire."
"Will of Fire?"
It means the will to protect the Leaf.
As long as you have the Will of Fire,
you and people in this village are all family.
Iruka, I wonder if you have that.
Yeah.
Huh?
Who's that over there?
Mizuki...
What are you doing there?
Well, I heard that Iruka was depressed these days...
I was worried and came to look for him.
Everybody's... worried about you, Iruka.
Everybody's waiting over there. Come on and play with us!
It's all right... Go on.
The Mizuki that I idolized was kind...
And he was a guy who was more thoughtful of his friends than anyone else.
Yet...
Please remember! Mizuki!
You really are...
an idiot, aren't you?!
L Let go...
Here it goes...
S Stop please!
I I feel sick...
- Huh? - Eh?
What?
Elder Brother, don't tell me that you...
Sorry, Raijin... I squashed...
our lunch!
What?!
Stay still, guys!
Now take this...!
- Give us back our lunch! - Give us back our lunch!
What?!
H-He's done it, huh...
It doesn't look like you understand me, so let me explain.
The real reason I was kind to you...
Because it made me happy more than anything
to see you in your misery!
Hey, Iruka!
We're gonna go play soccer right now.
Come join us, Iruka!
Sure! Okay!
I wonder if Iruka's okay
after all those things that happened to him...
That's why we need to try to cheer him up!
Why...only him...
Everybody makes a fuss about him
just because of his parents getting killed by Nine Tail...
Serves you right...
Even Lord Hokage?!
Why...why is it?!
Who is it over there?
All right...
I'm gonna try to gain the favor of Lord Hokage too...
What are you doing over there?
Well, I heard that Iruka has been depressed recently so...
You're lying!
Treating a g uy who's weaker than oneself with disdain
is the most pleasurable feeling of all, Iruka.
You weren't that way in the past!
That's why I've been telling you... you're naïve!
That kind of naiveté leads to fatal mistakes on the battleground.
On the battleground, it's all about how many enemies you can kill!
If you throw a Kunai blindly in a bamboo grove,
all that will happen is that it'll bounce off and its path will be errant.
If you're gonna take aim... make it straight!
Don't think I'm gonna get fooled twice with the same bait!
Damn... I'm at a disadvantage if we fight in a place like this!
Mizuki...
You...
Mizuki!
I told you, it's useless...
If the path is going to be errant,
then one just needs to calculate the path of the Kunai when throwing it!
So you've finally gotten serious, huh?
Follow me!
Where is this?
Looks like you're finally conscious.
You jerk...
You ruined our meal...
Don't even think we're gonna let you leave here alive!
I'm going for his stomach!
I'm going for his head!
- One, two... - One, two...
- Three! - Three!
Huh?
Huh?!
Wh What is going on?
Gimme a break, what are you doing?!
Wh Who's that?
It's too much of a drag to tell you my name, however...!
The most powerful support squad assigned to this mission!
The most powerful trio from the Village Hidden in the Leaves!
We're Ino Shika Cho!
Crappy news pass us by
And you become speechless
My voice is way too soft
So you don't answer
You're crying Crying alone
What can I do? I'm crying too
"Let my lonely scream ring out through the night"
I'll thrash this confused era with my speed Yeah
And I'll thrash this confused night with my speed Yeah
I'll thrash them with my piercing guitar and my speed Yeah
This sinking world and its evil bastards, I'll kick their butt Yeah
What's with these guys?! They have super ridiculous strength!
To think they can resist
Shadow Possession Jutsu to this extent on sheer power!
If Shikamaru's Jutsu gets broken now, we'll be in a hairy spot!
Our only choice is to settle this right away.
Are you guys ready?
- Yeah! - Yeah!
Then let's go! This is our trump card!
Next episode, "A New Formation: Ino-Shika-Cho!"
