Thank you.

Looks like he released the chakra of the Ninetale Fox all on his own this time.

But still, I certainly can't say that he's proficient at it yet. He overdid it

with the chakra's power.

To have summoned him, of all things.

get to breathe some fresh air again, I find some weird kid tap dancing on my

head. Hey, Jiraiya, where are you, Jiraiya? Just what do you think you're

Well, this doesn't look good.

Even I'm not able to handle Gamabunta. I mean, he's a real handful.

It would be a pain in the neck if he found me out, so I'd better hightail it

of here while I can.

Hey, little snot.

Yeah? Where's Jiraiya hiding?

Huh? Who's this Jiraiya? I don't know any... Don't play dumb.

I'm talking about that lecher who calls himself the Toad Sage.

Now, where is he?

Well... Man, he's scary.

Look, I'm giving you an order, and if you can follow it, I'll... Even consider

making you my henchman.

So hurry up and answer me!

Okay, okay. If you're talking about the pervy sage, he's on the cliff up there,

Chief Toad.

Up there?

Um, can I ask you one question, Sir Toad, sir?

What is it?

What business do you have with that pervy sage anyway?

That's the very same question I want to ask that pervert.

I mean, what in the world is that fool want with me?

Summoning me to a date.

place like this. Oh, but, um... What now?

Well, actually, the funny thing is that I'm the one who summoned you. You see, I

fell off the cliff and I thought that maybe you could rescue me.

to summon up a being like me.

this little squirt like you, barely old enough to stand, and you dare to say to

Lord Gamabunta...

Looks like he reached the top thanks to Gamabunta.

Whoa!

That was awesome!

I hate to tell you this, you little snot, but even if I were willing to

that you were actually the one who summoned me, and trust me, kid, that's a

really, really big if. If you're the kind of guy who could fall off my back

easily, then... Then there's no way I could ever accept you as my master, you

got it?

Now,

since I'm back in the world, after such a very, very long time, if Jiraiya

doesn't need me, I'm going for a walk. No, wait!

Listen, why don't you just get out of here and go home?

Because it's clear you're...

if that's what you want, but don't think I'm going to go easy on you!

Getting pretty interesting.

Huh?

Sorry, Naruto.

I'd love to help you, but I'm afraid that I've got far too much work to do

Research. Yes, research!

Those guys are eating barbecue again, giving themselves a reward for training

hard, I guess.

Hey, I thought you were told not to let Gaara out of your sight, Konkuro.

Oh, don't worry. Even someone like him wouldn't dare to do anything in broad

daylight.

What about you? That guy Shikamaru, or whatever his name is, he's the first guy

you're fighting, right?

Shouldn't you be formulating a battle plan?

There's no way that I would lose to a guy who's at that level.

No way.

You blew it, didn't you?

What? If you had taken the exam one year earlier, then you would have made

Chunin easily, right, Tamari?

Don't say that.

What? What did you just say?

I'm going to have you three ninja, the best from the Hidden Sand Village,

participate in the upcoming Chunin exam.

But the reason that I'm having you do so is not for you to pass the tune -in

exam. We must use this chance so that we're able to crush the Hidden Leaf

Village. But why?

Why are we turning on the Leaf Village?

Didn't we sign the Treaty of Alliance with them?

Yes, we did.

And that treaty is the whole problem.

I don't get it. What do you mean?

You Genin aren't aware of all the details of this.

But when the Treaty of Alliance was signed, that idiot feudal lord who rules

used it as an opportunity to force military cutbacks on our village.

He also delegated to the Hidden Leaf Village matters that should have been

handled by us.

And even worse, he significantly cut our village's budget and slashed the number

of shinobi.

When the head of our country is weak, we the country's arms and legs suffer.

And so we took the only choice left to us. Improve the quality of every shinobi

to maintain our military strength.

That's why shinobi like you were created.

Gaara.

The land of wind's very existence is in danger. More danger than it's ever been

in before.

But still, that idiot feudal lord and all his incompetent advisors.

Aren't you blind to fear?

So the Kazekage who detected this weakening of the might of the Sand

joined hands with the Sound Village to show our feudal lord his stupidity.

By crushing the hidden Leaf Village and restoring our own, this needs to be done

to make that idiot aware of the importance of preparing for a - If

any more time passes, our Sand Village will be completely

drained of its ability to fight against the Leaf Village.

This is our only chance.

Now, Gaara, this mission depends entirely upon your skills.

Yes.

This path will certainly lead to war with the Leaf Village.

We'll be... we'll be going to war again?

We've spent so much time and sacrificed so much to achieve this alliance.

And now...

We're breaking it. So many will die.

But... but Tamari!

Harden your heart. This is the will of Lord Kazekage.

Lord Kazekage?

All shinobi are simply tools for fighting.

Accept that fact and you'll see that all the Treaty of Alliance does is nothing

more than jeopardize our very existence.

This is an A -plus ranked mission.

Make sure you succeed.

Okay.

Yes.

I'm bored. The day sure goes by slowly when you're not doing much of anything.

I guess.

What an obstinate little squirt.

Look

at

that. Seems like Naruto is in agony.

He must have exhausted most of his chakra when he used that summoning jutsu

bring Gamabunta here. Look at that. Isn't that rainbow pretty?

Yeah, it's gorgeous.

Oh, yeah, I'll say.

It's all gorgeous.

Good work.

Baki. Thank you, Lord Kazekage.

I successfully moved all three pawns to the final rounds as planned.

And the pact with the Sound Village has progressed as well? Yes, sir.

This scroll contains the details of the Sound Village's plan.

Is there something else?

Well... What?

Out with it.

Yes, sir.

I was wondering if you could position soldiers near the border under the

of a tactical exercise.

With just the four of us... The Hidden Leaf village isn't full of dimwits, and

the Anbu Black Ops are active in that area.

If we do what you ask, they'll see right through what we're planning.

Everything we work toward will be ruined.

But... With only our current military capability... That's why I've sent Gaara

and the others.

The restoration of Fan Village and Glory is in your hands.

Now, go.

Yes, sir.

Just a little longer! It's almost over!

Once that sun fully sets, I have...

Master! Ha!

Never! I didn't say I agreed to your deal, did I? I don't care! I'm not

off no matter what!

Stop!

That Naruto.

He's already way past his limit.

I wouldn't be surprised if he fell off any minute now.

I suppose that I could simply ignore that smart, but

even the thought of losing to him burns me up.

There's no way I'm going to let that happen.

All right, I'm going to bring an end to this once and for all.

Hey, snot! What is your name? What do they call you?

My name?

I told you, Naruto Uzumaki!

Well, listen up, Naruto Uzumaki.

I hope you won't hold it against me if you die!

Play fair, Gamabunta. This is a matter of pride for Naruto, too.

Even in the condition he's in, the kid is able to use more chakra.

Hmm.

And you almost made it, too.

Amazing. He could hold out so long against a tough opponent like Gamabunta.

Naruto the Magi, huh?

You scoundrel, Jiraiya. I am fully aware that this boy summoned me all on his

own. He is courageous.

It's the first time since the fourth Hokage that someone has dared to climb

my head. As may be expected after that battle, he looks completely drained of

energy. I don't mind giving him some of my power, but I believe that taking him

to a place of healing would be best.

Oh, yeah.
