Thank you

for

watching!

Try this jutsu again or not?

Can't you see I'm busy with my research?

Do it yourself.

Okay,

I will. And this time I'm going to summon a frog the size of a house.

Summoning jutsu!

Huh?

So how did it go? Did you get a frog to appear?

Some of you may not yet have heard the news.

The body of Hayate Gekko was found near Kikyo Castle.

What? Hayate?

He... he's dead?

Unbelievable.

It has to be Orochimaru doing... As likely as that may seem, let's not jump

conclusions yet. We think Hayate was on the trail of a sound village spy named

Kabuto. No doubt Orochimaru is up to something, but we don't know for sure

Or I say...

Cancel the tuning exams and go after Orochimaru.

No, I think not.

He revealed himself to Anko and sent a warning not to cancel the exams.

You see, these exams have brought together ninja from every allied nation.

What do you think it means?

There are two things we know about him. That he bears an abiding grudge against

our hidden leaf village. And that his power is great. Perhaps great enough to

crush a village on his own.

Certainly great enough that any village would prefer to have him on their side,

rather than against them.

Impossible! No village in the Alliance would betray another and join forces

that fiend!

Well, the Alliance treaty is only as binding as any verbal agreement.

As we found out during the last great ninja war.

In any case...

Until we're able to find out more, this is all just idle speculation.

We've dispatched Anbu Black Ops to every village to collect information.

We would be fools to act too hastily. That might be just what our enemy is

aiming for.

And besides...

I

have complete trust in every one of you.

When and if the time comes, we will gather the strength of the Hidden Leaf

Village and fight if we must.

Was I wrong?

Don't you even think of telling them about this, Mark.

Should I have stopped him by force if I had to?

What? No visitor? I'm afraid not. Sorry.

But why? He's not in critical condition or something, is he? Why can't he have

any visitors?

I'm sorry. I'm afraid I really don't have any more information.

Well, standing here worrying isn't going to do any good.

That's right. I should bring flour.

See you now.

Oh, no.

Oh, Sakura.

Poor thing. It's sad when a girl has to buy flowers for herself.

I'm not.

I'm, uh... Not that it's any of your business. I didn't expect to find you

minding the shop.

I'll make this quick.

Taking a planter to the hospital is like saying you expect the person to be

there forever.

Some cut flowers might be a better idea.

Hospital? What do you mean?

Don't play dumb with me.

You're going there to visit Sasuke, aren't you?

Hey, Mom!

I'm going out for a while.

Wait, what are you doing? Get real. If you think I'm going to let you be the

first one to get in to see Sasuke, you are so wrong.

Miss Eno Pig, are we butting in?

Think I'll bring him one red rose.

It's the flower of love.

Ha! How lame can you get?

Me? I'm going to bring him a single daffodil.

A noble flower that bravely endures the long months of winter, then blossoms

forth as a sign of spring.

Just like you will soon blossom again, Sasuke.

What are you, a botanist all of a sudden? I warned you I will not lose out

you! Whatever.

So are you going to pay for that daffodil?

I should get two.

Two? Why?

You trying to impress him?

One for him and another for Lee.

Man, you could put me off of food for good.

Just watching you makes me sick.

So, did you order the short ribs?

Ah, finally!

This is all mine, Shikamaru. Don't try stealing any.

Don't worry, I wasn't planning on it.

What the heck are you guys doing?

Hino, Sakura.

Shikamaru, shouldn't you be training for the final exam instead of sitting

around pigging out?

I have been training.

Every day, all day.

Awesome as a goddamn slave driver.

And it's not only Shikamaru. Choji's joined us for training as well.

What?

So you're going for it after all, huh?

Mm -hmm.

Yeah.

And in return, I get all the barbecue I can eat. Well, that would explain it.

Oh, man.

I wish I'd never signed up for this stupid final exam. I don't want to hear

There are plenty of people who'd give their right arm to be a part of it.

your sensei's right.

And besides, from everything I've heard, Guy and Kura and I's teams are training

their butts off. Yeah?

Well, what about it? After coming this far, you don't want them making you look

bad, do you?

Man,

this is such a drag.

I can't keep this up. No human being could.

Think I've used too much of my chakra.

This is ridiculous!

We're not getting anywhere!

Look! Can't you see it? This one's bigger than the last one!

Who cares? It's still a tadpole!

So you're here to see

Sasuke Uchiha.

Please keep in mind that he's still very weak. He needs his rest.

You'll have to keep your visit short. Five minutes, that's all I can give you.

All right.

Sasuke, may I come in?

You have a couple of pretty visitors here.

Sasuke?

Sasuke?

All of his clothes are gone. Huh?

This is terrible. He's in no condition to be walking around on his own.

Doctor! Doctor!

Oh, Sasuke.

Did he... At some point, he will come to me.

In search of power.

Oh, Sasuke. Where have you gone?

So much harder than it used to be.

Must be getting out of shape.

Time's almost up.

What's up, so you finally showed up

Well, we'll keep on searching for him here in the hospital.

But in the meantime, if you see him, please contact us immediately, will you?

Yes, of course.

Now, you wanted to see Rock Lee as well, right?

Yes.

He's in no better condition than Sasuke, so don't expect to have a very long

visit.

Lee, can we come in?

You have a couple of pretty visitors here.

Weird. Huh?

Look. Huh?

Lee?

Come on, Sakura.

Right.

200 push -ups, that was the deal. If you cannot finish them, it is 100 leg

squats, so come on. Here we go.

190.

I should get two.

Two? Why? You trying to impress him?

One for him, and another for Lee.

Sakura, speaking of Lee, you heard the news about him, didn't you?

Huh? What news is that?

His injuries were bad.

Really bad.

It means that he'll never... Well, his days as a ninja are over.

Help me out.

I am not through yet.

You're right. All the effort is pointless, if you don't believe in

Just one more.

Lee! Oh, no!

I'll get some orderlies out here with us, Gretchen. Stay with him till I get

back. We will, ma 'am.

Why, Eno?

Huh?

Why is it that makes boys like that?

They're always pushing things too far.

Why ask me?

I'm not a boy.

Right. Sorry.

Human boulder!

Shadow position, Jutes!

No way.

Haven't got enough chakra.

What's wrong, Shikamaru?

Don't tell me you've run out of gas.

This is such a drag.

All right, Choji. Same thing again.

What a

waste

of a perfectly good robe.

Yeah, my daffodil, too.

Oh, what a bore.

It's obvious our friends in the swimming suits aren't coming back, so how about

we call it a day, huh, Naruto?

But... You're supposed to be training me. Come on, please. One more time,

I'm tired and I'm hungry.

That's enough. We've been out here half a day.

But you haven't done anything.

You little squirt! You should be grateful I'm even hanging out with you!

Yikes, man.

This little coot's touchy.

Okay, wait. I know what you need.

Sexy jutsu!

Wait, that's it?

That wasn't very long.

Hey, I've already got that jutsu down, okay?

It's a summoning jutsu I want to work on. Okay, okay, okay.

Go ahead, give it another shot.

Right, here we go.

Summoning jutsu!

Mystery!

Hopeless, why do I waste my time with you?

What, are you blind?

Huh?

Just give it two arms and a brain and maybe I can train it.

Why do you have to be so negative?

You gotta admit, at least I'm making progress.

I give it for your laugh.

Huh? Oh, nothing.

So anything else you want? Well, I wouldn't mind another bowl of ramen.
