Yeah, turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength
Even if you get lost, let’s start walking
One more time
Are you really happy
when you're always meeting to someone's expectations?
Even if you change to who you really wanna be
Will you always have a great smile?
Dreaming of only “the beginning,” I wake up
and someday, I'll live on my own.
Yes, precious things are never in shape
You never know what it is when you get it or lose it
Yeah, turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength
Even if you get lost, let's start walking
One more time
Hey! Geez.
Hey, Pervy Sage!
Weren’t you going to watch my training?!
I’m researching now.
Do it yourself!
All right, then I’ll summon a frog, a frog so big you’ll be shocked!
The Summoning Jutsu!
Hmm? What’s wrong? Did a frog appear?
W-Wait a minute!
What part of that’s a frog?!
If you don’t get serious, I won’t help you!
Shut up! I am being serious!
Then somehow find your Chakra as if your life depended on it!
That’s what I’m doing!
Huh?!
Sasuke…
Hey Sakura!
Huh?!
Sakura! It’s about time you wake and help me over here!
I’m not sleeping! I’m busy right now!
Yes, yes… Then when won’t you be busy?
Later!
I can’t believe it… Geez!
A Feeling of Yearning, A Flower Full of Hope
Some of you have probably already heard but…
Gekko Hayate’s corpse was found near Kikyo Castle…
What… Hayate?
No way…
That’s ridiculous!
Is the opponent Orochimaru?
No…we shouldn’t jump to that conclusion so easily.
The one Hayate was following was likely a Sound spy called Kabuto…
Well, it’s certain that Orochimaru is trying to do something but…
So…we’ll cancel Chunin Exam and go after Orochimaru…?!
No, he revealed his identity to Anko…
sending us a threat not to cancel.
Not to cancel the Chunin Exam
for which all of the Ninja of the Alliance have gathered!
What does it mean?
Orochimaru possesses enough power to take down a small Land on his own.
He’s a Ninja that probably every land has eyes on.
Moreover, he conveniently holds a grudge
against this Village Hidden in the Leaves.
Any Land would desire him.
So could it be…
that any Land in the Alliance would unite with Orochimaru
and betray the Village Hidden in the Leaves?!
Well, the Alliance Treaty is at the same level as a verbal agreement!
As was in the former Great Ninja War…
In any case,
there’s too little information right now.
Let’s end these unnecessary suspicions.
We’ve already dispatched Anbu,
the black ops to each Land to collect information.
It’s dangerous to act carelessly…
That could be what the enemy is aiming for.
And also…
I trust all of you!
When the time comes,
we’ll bring all the powers of Hidden Leaf Village together and simply fight!
At that time…
Be quiet about this bruise!
Should I have stopped him forcefully…?
No visitors…?
That’s correct. I’m sorry but…
I know he’s been hospitalized, but no visitors…?!
What’s going on?
We’re also not aware of the details so…
There’s no use worrying about it here.
Huh?
Should I bring get-well flowers?
So pretty.
Oh no!
Oh… How unusual for you to come by to buy our flowers.
N-Not really! Why would you care?
Besides, isn’t it unusual that you’re minding the shop?
I’ll choose quickly.
People don’t like flowers with roots when they’re in the hospital
since they don’t want to be “rooted” in the hospital…
So cut flowers are fundamental.
W-What are you talking about…?
Playing dumb won’t work.
You’re going to see Sasuke, right?
Mom! I’m going out for a bit!
I-Ino?!
I won’t let you be the first to visit! I’m going with you!
A get-well visit!
Shucks… Ino pig!
I’m taking this flower…
One “rose” of love!
That’s so cliché…
Then I’ll make mine this. “Narcissus”!
A noble flower that doesn’t succumb to the cold of the winter,
but hopes for the spring and waits with dignified presence…
with the wish for release from the hospital as soon as possible.
You’ve gotten pretty knowledgeable.
I told you I wouldn’t lose to you!
Oh, yes yes, so one narcissus, right?
Uh… I need two.
Why? One is fine.
No… One for Lee too.
More please!
– Huh?! – Huh?
Ten orders of kalbi!
You sure can eat. Just watching you makes me feel ill.
Here you are!
It’s here!
This is mine, all right? Don’t eat any of it, Shikamaru!
I won’t eat any!
What’s going on with you guys, barbecue in the middle of the day?
– Oh…? – Huh?
Ino and Sakura…
Shikamaru, shouldn’t you be going through some special training or something
to prepare for the final exam?
I am…
Every single day…
Asuma is so persistent.
Actually, Choji’s been joining us in the special training.
Really?
So you took it on?
Yup! In exchange, he’s treating me to as much barbecue as I can eat!
I see…
Oh, I shouldn’t have held on for the Final Round.
Don’t be ridiculous!
There are numerous people who want to participate, but can’t!
That’s right!
From what I’ve heard,
they’re doing some awfully difficult things
over at Guy and Kurenai’s team!
W-What’s that?
Even though we’ve made it this far,
to get totally thrashed wouldn’t be very cool…
Aw man, what a drag…
Whatever the circumstances,
we’ve exceeded a human being’s limits.
So I’ve used too much Chakra…
Neji, are you all right?!
Summoning Jutsu!
What?! A tadpole again?!
You haven’t made any progress whatsoever!
See how it’s bigger than the ones earlier?!
How the heck should I know?!
So you want to see Sasuke Uchiha…?
Just five minutes.
I can’t allow you to visit any longer than that.
His body still needs to rest…
Yes…
Sasuke. You have visitors…
Two cute young ladies…
Oh…!
– Huh? – Huh?
Sasuke, Sasuke?
His clothes are gone!
– What?! – What?
It’s terrible! He’s in no condition to be walking outside yet!
Doctor! Doctor!
Sasuke…
No way…
Sasuke will, without a doubt, desire me…
Sasuke… Where in the world have you gone…?
Could cliff-climbing be so taxing…?
Damn, my body is sluggish…
Will I make it in time…?
Open!
Huh?
Yo!
Huh… You finally made it here…
We’ll search for Sasuke on our end.
But if you happen to see him, please contact us.
– We will. – Yes.
And also…you wanted to see Lee, right?
– Yes. – Yes.
He’s also in no condition to move, so please make your visit brief.
Lee, you have visitors.
Two cute young ladies…
Oh?!
– Huh?! – Huh?!
Really… even Lee!
Lee! Lee!
Lee…
Huh?
Look!
Huh?
Lee…?!
Sakura, let’s go!
Okay!
200 one-armed pushups…
If I can’t do them, 100 one-legged squats…
190…!
Lee! Stop it! Lee! Stop it!
191…
Lee!
Please don’t touch me!
Don’t…interfere… with my training…
I need two…
Why? One is fine.
No… One for Lee too…
Speaking of which, Sakura, did you hear about that Lee?
What? Hear what?
Well, that Lee…
his injuries were serious and he can no longer…
continue as a Shinobi.
195…
196…
197…
198…
I’m…not finished…yet!
There’s no value in making an effort for someone
who doesn’t believe in himself!
One…one hundred…ninety…nine…
One… One more…
One more time…!
– Huh?! – Oh!
Lee…!
I’ll…go get the stretcher.
Please keep an eye on him.
Yes.
Hey…lno…
Huh?
Why do boys… have to push themselves?
Don’t ask me that. I’m a girl you know!
Sorry…
The Human…Boulder!
Ninja Art: Shadow Possession Ju…!
Darn it, I don’t have enough Chakra!
What’s the matter, Shikamaru?!
Have you hit your limit already?
Man! What a drag…
All right, Choji! One more time!
Who brought that…?
The rose I went to the trouble of bringing was a waste.
My narcissus too…
Oh… How boring.
Hey, Naruto!
The swimsuit gals have gone, so why don’t we call it a day?
What? Let’s stay a little longer!
Come on, a little longer… Just a little longer!
I’m hungry. And I’m pretty tired too.
You haven’t even done anything.
You should be thankful I hung out with you!
He’s getting ticked off at me.
All right, I got it… Sexy Jutsu!
Oh!
What, that’s it?
What I want to do isn’t the Sexy Jutsu, but Summoning Jutsu!
All right, all right… Then try it out.
Here goes--!
Summoning…Jutsu!
I did it!
You should die! You have no talent!
Take a careful look!
Huh?
See, it has rear legs!
You idiot! Conjure one up with hands, feet and ears!
Shut your mouth! Having legs is better than before!
One! First, Tyson jumps and slamdunks
Two! He kisses and hugs everyone randomly and says “I LOVE YOU”
Three! Masala masters Yoga but hates curry
Four! Sanchez is a lousy bullfighter. Ole!
All over the world, the sky’s smiling, so look up and smile too
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Fight! Fight! Fight!
One! Bodimahattaya-san devotes his time for digging black ships
Two! Peking Duck, Action Scene, Chen Lee speeds around on his bike
Three! Popo loves to polish his Coteka
Four! Japanese people, now lend me you hand!
All over the world, the sky’s smiling, so look up and smile too
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Fight! Fight! Fight!
All over the world, the sky’s smiling, so look up and smile too
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ichiraku's ramen is as good as usual!
If the training continues like this, I don't mind doing it forever!
Eat, keeping eating more because this will be the last…
What? Did you say something?
Do you like the food?
Hey master, one more bowl of ramen please!
Good. Just keep eating away so you'll have no regrets about your life.
Next time, "Live or Die: Risk it All to Win it All!"
Is this sage hiding something from me?
