FIRE Today's the day of our new holiday!
THE LEAF VILLAGE'S NEW HOLIDAY PARENT AND CHILD DAY DEEPEN THE BONDS BETWEEN PARENT AND CHILD! "Parent and Child Day."
THE LEAF VILLAGE'S NEW HOLIDAY PARENT AND CHILD DAY DEEPEN THE BONDS BETWEEN PARENT AND CHILD! Have a great time everyone, ya know!
That's gonna air all over the village on Parent and Child Day, huh?
It is what it is.
This is just a part of the duties of a great Hokage.
The desire for a new holiday…
VILLAGE HIDDEN IN THE LEAVES PARENT AND CHILD DAY Back in the day, when we were shinobi,
VILLAGE HIDDEN IN THE LEAVES PARENT AND CHILD DAY the thought never crossed our minds, huh?
There are more non-shinobi citizens these days.
For shinobi, a holiday could mean a day without missions.
For others, it's an annual day of rest.
A day to deepen the bond between parents and children, huh?
Spend some time with your family once in a while, will you?
I bet that even if you go home,
you only sleep and rarely talk to your kids, right?
I'll do what I can to free up your schedule too.
Shikamaru…
Thank you!
P-Please don't push.
Lord Hokage, please sign this document!
No, please sign this one first!
Don't push and form a line!
Please sign!
You'll find time…right?
Y-Yeah… I think it will be fine.
Parent and Child Day!
Sounds good.
I'm definitely gonna make it home and make sure it's a great day, ya know!
Parent and Child Day
It's finally Parent and Child Day tomorrow, huh?
I wonder if Daddy will come home?
Well, today he said he'd be able to make it.
He must have a lot to do.
But he'll be home.
Yeah…
That's right!
All right, I'm going to visit Grandpa.
Dad should be home any time now.
Look after Hima, okay?
Yeah! Don't worry.
See you, Mommy!
I'll be going now.
Oww!
Ouch?
Damn it.
You're home, finally.
Boruto?
W-Well, today's Parent and Child Day, right?
I got inundated with requests from the merchants
for food stalls and eating contests and what-not…
I didn't sleep a wink.
Making excuses, cannot be excused!
Uh?!
Hima's been waiting.
I'm leaving it all up to you.
Hey, Boruto…
Aren't you joining us?
I'll be busy training!
See ya!
Well, train hard!
I'm…
home?!
This is what he meant by her waiting?
Hima…
Hey, you okay?
Oh, Daddy. Welcome home.
What are you doing sleeping here?
LEAF TOY STORE NINE-TAILED KURAA-MA I have a request for today!
A request?
Look at this!
Nine-Tailed…Kuraa-ma?
I wanted you to come with me to buy this today.
But…
You just came home now, right?
Uh…
Sorry.
Let me take a little nap.
But we'll go when I wake up.
Oh…
URGENT NEW ARRIVAL! LIMITED EDITION ITEM FOR PARENT AND CHILD DAY!
Okay, Daddy, get some sleep!
We can go together after.
You know, we should go quick ‘cuz they might sell out!
Hima, let's go now!
Uh-huh!
It's a toy of the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit and you take care of it.
And the fox is called Kuraa-ma?
At first, it's inside an egg.
And you pet it and say nice things to it to make it hatch out of the egg.
Oh.
A fox…hatches out of an egg?
And they get happy when you feed them stuff called Food Pills.
It hatches out of an egg, and you feed it…
This Kuraa-ma sounds just like a baby.
Hey, who are you calling a baby?
It's not about you, I'm talking about a toy.
Daddy?
Oh, it's nothing.
I was just talking to the real Kuraa-ma…
TOY STORE
Aren't they open yet?
Hey, I was here first! Don't cut in line.
All these people are here already?!
If it gets out that I'm here, there's gonna be an uproar…
‘Scuse me!
You're in the way!
No one recognizes you, Daddy.
NINE-TAILED KURAA-MA
They're all here to buy Kuraa-ma?
Hey, if it isn't Naruto!
Hey!
Kiba!
Never thought I'd see you here.
Well, I never thought I'd see you out with your daughter.
Are you out shopping with your dad today?
Um… Well…?
Oh, he and your mom were on Team 8 together.
He's Kiba, a Ninja Hound user.
With Mommy?
Don't you remember me?
I guess the last time I saw you, you were about Akemaru's size…
Oh, how cute!
The big one's Akamaru and the little one is Akemaru.
Hi, nice to meet you!
Seeing you here must mean… that you're after Kuraa-ma too?
Yeah, Hima wants one.
What about you?
Huh?
Uh, an acquaintance asked me to pick one up.
Actually, I wasn't asked.
But she saw the poster
and she was all, "The fox is so cute!"
I figured she'd be happy if I secretly got one for her…
So, it's a surprise present for your girlfriend?
U-Uh…
That's great!
Hinata would worry if you and Shino stayed all alone!
This has nothing to do with the old Team 8!
Kuraa-ma's really cute, so I'm sure she'll love it.
Think so?!
All right then! I'll totally get one!
Yeah!
See you later!
Hurry, Daddy!
Okay!
Akamaru, watch Hima!
Damn it!
It sold out…
Huh?
I wonder if Daddy got one…
All right!
Daddy, you bought one?!
Yeah. They had quite a lot on hand, so it was easy to find.
Hurry, hurry!
Okay, okay.
Here's the toy you waited so long for…
ONE-TAILED SHUKAA-KU Kuraa-ma!
Oh…
Oh man!
Huh? What's the matter, you two?
Hey, um Naruto, that's…
Shukaa-ku?
It's not Kuraa-ma?!
It's a lookalike made in the Hidden Sand Village.
I didn't get fooled.
Oh…
Even the dogs have had it with you!
D-Damn it!
Since it's come down to this…
Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Hey!
Wake up!
That's fewer than Big Brother…
And, they're asleep.
Damn it. I'll help you.
A-Are you sure?
How can we live with ourselves when she gives us that sad look?
I'll check the new section of town.
You search the old part.
Uncle!
Thank you, Kiba!
All good!
Okay, let's go guys!
Okay, let's go too.
Hurry and climb on.
Daddy's really fast, ya know.
Uh-huh!
Daddy never gives up!
I'll get you a Kuraa-ma without fail!
Okay!
You really thought… you'd find a Kuraa-ma here?
We checked so many shops, and couldn't find any.
And so, you came to a flower shop?!
I mean honestly!
Sorry to have bothered you at work.
Oh, Naruto!
Wait, wait!
This is for you, Himawari.
Thank you for all you did for Inojin back then.
Oh, it's so pretty!
You are so cute!
Here, I'll give you one more!
Thank you!
Those might get in the way if you hold them all day…
Want to stop by home to drop them off?
No, it's okay!
It won't be in the way now!
Ya put them there?!
Does it look good?
Yup!
Welcome!
I'm kinda hungry!
I want cotton candy!
Ahhh…
Ahh!
It's yummy! Give me more!
Don't rush!
You're an important part of my family.
What are you doing?
Oh, Boruto?!
O-Oh, this is called Kuraa-ma.
It's really popular with the kids, so I bought one too.
It's because it's like research to understand how a student feels.
Huh.
But…ultimately, it's just a kid's toy.
And it's not that cute.
It sure looked like you were doting on it…
Never mind already!
Why aren't you with Naruto and Hinata?
Huh?
I'm busy training, so…
See ya, Sensei!
Hmm…
Maybe kids at that age find it embarrassing to spend time with family?
Oh, I'm so sorry, I said you're weren't cute.
You're much smarter and cuter than Naruto's Kurama.
TEN TEN TEN
I can't believe how hard it is to find a Kuraa-ma.
Hey, Daddy…
How about this store?
Hm?
I coulda sworn this place is—
Is that you, Naruto?
Hey, Tenten… It's been awhile.
Don't tell me… Is that you, Himawari?!
Look how you've grown!
What about this?
What is it?
Since it's "Parent and Child Day,"
I stocked some kunai that looks like a parent and child.
But it hasn't sold at all.
The long one is the parent, the short one is the child.
See? Like a parent and child, right?
That's a bit of a stretch…
Anyway, do you have Kuraa-ma—?!
That's the fourth inquiry today.
I wonder if it's an omen…
That I should just close up an outdated ninja tool shop like this…
and open up a toy shop?
So…even you think that, Naruto?
Uhhh, I'll take this… parent-and-child-looking kunai set.
And for you, my lady…
How about something like this?
Damn it!
Not finding one even after all this searching!
This isn't good…
Hey, Naruto!
I got one!
A real deal Kuraa-ma!
Are you serious?!
I found it in a kiosk at the outbound Thunder Rail Station.
It was the last one they had.
But, are you sure?
Wasn't it a present for…?
I never told her I was gonna buy one,
so there's no harm done.
Kiba… Thank you.
Thank you, Uncle!
You're very welcome.
Well, Akamaru's holding on to it, so he should be here soon…
Now then, the toy you waited for!
That's…
…a hamburger, right?
What happened to Kuraa-ma, Akamaru?!
Hey, Kiba, isn't that—?
No way… You're kidding, right?
It got swapped?
What?
It's because I didn't feed you since this morning?!
Ninja Hounds get hungry too, so it can't be helped?
What?! You guys can't even eat this!
Kiba! Stay with Himawari!
Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
What?!
Fine, then…
Kurama!
Sorry, but will ya help me?!
Hey, Kurama?
Nope.
Huh? Why not?!
Mistaking me for that idiot Tanuki?
I'm so disgusted, I don't even wanna talk to you.
This isn't the time for that!
At this rate, Himawari will…
All the more reason, then!
Huh?
This is for your daughter!
Instead of relying on me, go the extra mile yourself, idiot.
You're totally right.
Huh?!
Lord Hokage!
You're not getting away now!
Huh? You're—!
You're the one I sent to investigate the state of affairs
in the borderlands, right?
How come you're—?
Daddy?
Why did you come out?
Wait over there!
O-Okay.
Lord Hokage!
Please forgive me!
I hadn't seen my son in a while and
he kept asking me for a Kuraa-ma, so I just…
What have I done?
Daddy!
Hima…
You shouldn't drop it.
Huh?
You bought it just for him, right?
Himawari?
Here.
You have to take good care of it.
Uh-huh!
Thank you, Big Sis!
Are you sure?
Uncle, I'm sorry…
After all that trouble…
Heh, don't worry about it!
As of today, I'm relieving you of your mission
to investigate the state of affairs in the borderlands.
Yes, sir.
You're assigned to security at the Aun Gate from tomorrow.
I'll let Shikamaru know.
Am I…being demoted?
Oh, no! Pardon me.
I'll do my very best at my new assignment!
Idiot! It means you won't have to be away from the village.
Take good care of your son.
Oh!
Thank you so much!
Bye-bye!
Sorry I couldn't buy you a Kuraa-ma.
I got to go to lots of places with you today, Daddy,
and it was so much fun!
I'm going to cherish
all the things you got for me today!
Hima…
So, thank you for today!
And also…
Keep up all the good work as the Hokage!
Looking closer, Shukaa-ku's kinda cute too.
Y-Yeah, right?
Shukaa-ku is way cuter than Kuraa-ma, ya know!
All right!
Let's run home fast!
Hey, could ya snap out of it already?
Me praising Shukaku was just a figure of speech!
Don't get all bent out of shape just because of that!
Hey, c'mon, ya know?!
Kurama?
Kuraa-ma!
Huh?!
You can find me wherever there's gourmet food!
Dad, let's enter the eating contest!
But Mom already hates me for being so lazy…
If I enter an eating contest, it'll make things even worse!
It's Parent and Child Day!
When Mom sees what an awesome role model you are for your daughter,
she's bound to fall in love with you again!
Next time on Boruto Naruto Next Generations:
"A Heaping Helping! The Eating Contest!"
You're right! I'll win the contest and win back Mom's heart!
A HEAPING HELPING! THE EATING CONTEST!
