Right here, right now, right here,

right now.

Bokutai shoku no karasu ga sore wo ubaitotte yasuritsuteta

Sa, kokoro no memi hiraise shikato ima wo michiwanberou

Uchinau mono nante nai sa, ita maiirou

We are fighting dreamers, aiming for the top, fighting dreamers, we're going to

the library, fighting dreamers, let's keep believing, let's go!

Right here, right now

What do you think, Aoi? What should we do?

I'll be accompanying Fukusuke at sea.

I want you three to go after Idate. Right.

Hey, Idate!

The ocean is the other way! Where the hell do you think you're going, you

You have to turn around!

You can forget about it. There's no way I'm turning around.

Let go.

Yes, sir.

What does that kid think he's doing?

It looks like the little fool is running away, sir.

Not surprising.

Idate has always been like that.

You know him?

I guess you could say that.

The race is on!

Trouble on the high...

I knew that little bastard would run away. I guess it really shouldn't have

as a surprise, knowing him as long as we have.

It was a mistake to let him run.

You idiots!

Idate is a better man than that!

Yes, boss!

I believe in Idate.

He must have some sort of plan up his sleeve.

Giorgio!

Chief Counselor.

So tell me, how will you settle this?

You've just turned this most hallowed tradition into little more than a farce

the presence of our feudal lord, no less.

Your Excellency, this race has only just now begun.

Do me the honor of seeing it through to the finish.

If you're that insistent, then you better win.

No matter what.

Because if you lose...

I'll feed to it. Your entire family is scattered to the wind.

You have a deal. I'm a man of my word.

If Hidate should end up losing, then you have free reign to do whatever you

wish.

That is so like you, Jirocho.

Stubborn as an ox.

I hope you're ready to pay up.

I'm counting on you, Hidate.

Hold on, boss.

Give me all your money!

Don't you move a muscle!

Well, a starving thief, huh?

Shut your mouth!

This is a grown -up's game, kid.

You couldn't even peel an apple with that thing, could you? Here.

Take it.

And remember, kid, the blade wasn't invented for the purpose of hurting

You live out on the street, don't you, son?

I'm Jirocho, the head of the Wasabi family in Port Degarashi.

Chirocho?

The wasabi?

How about it? Why don't you come stay with me?

Huh?

But... But why? When I was just trying to... When a man is starving, it's easy

for him to make a mistake like that.

It's of no concern.

Um, this is... Forget about it.

That was a gift.

Keep it.

But no more thieving antics.

Do we have a deal?

I wish to follow you. Make me your disciple.

I mean, please, boss.

What's your name?

Idate. Idate Moreno.

Shall we go then, Idate?

Have faith in me, boss. I promise I'll win this for you.

to him pretty soon.

But it's too late now.

He won't be able to win this far away from the fort. I don't know.

He might have planned to come this way from the very beginning.

Huh?

Well,

this was lucky.

Let's say we put an end to this right here.

It's funny, isn't it?

Yeah. Who'd have thought those three'd be escorting him?

Double lucky.

Now I can pay them back.

For the tuning exam.

You two go on ahead. I'll keep them tied up here.

You got it.

Gibbs, why the heck did you come this way?

You shut up.

It's none of your business anyway, kid.

What's with the attitude, pal?

I said shut up!

Watch out!

I don't think they've even noticed it. This is genjutsu. Are you gonna slow

or what?

I've already been here.

Great. I'm trapped in some sort of genjutsu.

In that case... Release!

Over there.

Huh? Hey! No, don't go that way!

What?

Huh? What's going on around here?

I'm out.

Oh, man, that was a close one.

Somebody set up one genjutsu on top of another.

That's not very easy to pull off. You idiot! If you had just stopped for two

seconds, we wouldn't be in this mess!

What did you say?

Hey, knock it off! Stop! Stop!

No! All of my ninja tools!

Look, I didn't need your help, okay?

You didn't need it? Hey, listen, you fathead!

Thanks for saving your life!

You only saved me because you're bound to by duty.

There's no need for me to thank you.

What did you say?

Stop it, Naruto.

He's absolutely right.

But look, if you don't want to wind up dead, then I suggest you stick close to

us. Hey, where are you going anyway?

What happened to Port Degarashi?

What about it? Forget the port. I'm heading north from here.

You are?

So does that mean it's faster that way?

That's right.

Yeah, maybe.

How do we even know if we can trust this guy?

That's the problem with all you ninja.

What? Look, at this time of the year, there are some pretty strong seasonal

winds blowing hard across the sea.

Back at the starting point, I noticed the clouds.

I could see the wind was blowing toward us.

On top of that, there's a port to the north where the ocean current flows

directly into Nagi Island.

That's what I was saying. You ought to use this a little more right here.

Hmm. Looks like it's going to get a bit rough.

Hey, let's not push our luck.

Get us turned more towards the south.

That'll eat up too much time. Just get to land.

There's no one on Earth who's faster than me. My victory is inevitable.

As you wish, Ben.

Hey, I can smell salt on the wind.

It's the ocean.

It's the halfway point.

Motoroki Shrine over on Nagi Island.

We can probably get ourselves there within an hour from here.

One sec.

Hey Gramps, it's me.

Idate of the Wasabi.

Hey there, I've been waiting for you.

It's going just as I thought it would.

I'm gonna need you to lend me that boat.

You bet. I have things all ready for you.

You can use that one right over there.

There isn't a faster boat around.

Thanks a lot, Gramps.

It's not a problem.

Jirocho has done a lot for me over the years.

Just make sure you don't lose to the Wagarashi.

I've had about all I can stand from them and the way they rule this land.

Don't worry about a thing.

I may be the underdog, but you're looking at the right -hand man of the

Leave it to me. I won't fail you. I promise.

Yeah, right, whatever.

We should be able to see the port at Nagi Island soon.

We get there before Fukusuke.

Hey, Naruto.

What do you think?

Hmm? What about?

About Idate.

I mean, he's not just some ordinary guy.

Hmm.

The level of... A beady one that is extraordinary.

He's probably received some sort of special training.

What kind of training?

It's possible he spent some time in one of the hidden villages.

Get real, that blockhead could never be a ninja. Look who's talking. Last time I

checked, you were the reigning king of stupid.

Well, yeah, but I mean, come on. I did make it to the final round of the tuning

exams, didn't I?

You didn't really make it to the final round, did you?

Yeah, that's right. And if I hadn't been interrupted in the middle of it, I

could have won the tournament and become a tuning.

Yeah, well, whoever your proctor was must have been a real pushover.

Sounds like the tuning exam has lowered its standards some.

I see.

So that means you were... I remember now.

Itate Morino.

Morino? Oh, yeah.

That's right. Wasn't he the proctor of the first exam?

All right, you baby -faced degenerates. Pipe down and listen up.

It's time to begin.

I am Ibiki Morino, your proctor. And from this moment, your worst enemy.

Ibiki Morino.

What'd you say?

My brother?

He's alive?

Yes. Well, of course he's alive. Why wouldn't he be? He threw such a

at me the tenth question in.

Seriously? He's really alive, then?

Ah, that's great. Now what?

It's an ambush.

How we doing?

See for yourself.

You're just up ahead.

All right, then. Let's get rolling.

Naruto and I will fend these guys off.

Sakura, you keep an eye on Idate. Maybe we should all just run.

It's too late for that.

Start working on these ropes.

I'll cover you.

Yeah, you got it.

Shoot, I'll have to cut these.

That's perfect.

I had to lose all my gear.

Hey, lend me that, will ya?

What? Come on, hand it over already.

Forget it, you imbecile. This is more precious to me than my own life is.

There's no way I'm giving it to you. Look, get over yourself. We don't have

for this right now. Get away from me, you idiot.

Hurry up already, you knucklehead.

Well, that was a piece of cake.

Don't worry, Sakura!

It's just a bunch of clones!

Only the real one can actually attack us! We're gonna be fine!

Sharingan!

Sakura! Naruto! Watch out! One of them isn't a shadow clone!

Be careful!

Just tell us where, Sasuke!

You'd better stay close to my side, Izate! No way! Why would I want any help

from a bunch of ninja?

Look around you, pal!

Beggars can't be choosers!

Naruto, behind you!

Naruto!

A clone?

Aw, crap.

Clone for clone!

Great! The real one got away!

Night work, Naruto!

That shadow clone kid is a handful.

Switch to plan B, Kagari.

Kill every last one of them.

Murder style.

Black Rain Jutsu.

Sasuke! They've changed into water clones!

I know!

It's looming?

Wait a sec.

I think this is oil.

Enough already.

I'll take them all out in one shot.

The tigers feel handsome.

Sasuke, don't!

Unlucky.

Don't be so sure.

Fire attack.

Nothing. I'm fine.

What are we going to do, Sasuke? The fire is out of control!

We dive into the ocean.

We're just going to have to swim to the port at Nagi Island.

You're right. It's our only option.

Idate, do you know how to swim?

Of course.

Okay, you go first, then. I can cover you. With all the smoke everywhere, we

shouldn't have any problem slipping away unnoticed.

You can forget about it.

What do you think, I'm stupid?

You three probably just want to use me as a decoy.

What are you talking about? You want them to focus on me while you guys get

hell out of here.

Stop talking nonsense.

I said forget it. I don't trust Ninja.

Get out of here already.

We don't need you getting in our way.

Get out of here. You'll only get in my way.

No, I won't.

Son of a... Get down!

You've got to trust me, Date.

I promise we'll protect you.

Suck it up.

Hurry, go on ahead.

I promise we'll be right behind you.

Uh -huh.

Well, shall we cut out?

Cut out?

We haven't even gotten to the best part.

They're surprisingly tenacious.

Yeah.

I should be okay now.

Long time no see, Idate. You.

You're the one who... Really, how many times do I have to teach you that you

can't trust anyone?

Such a fool you are.

Thank you.

unless you see it through to the end.

Your boss believes in you. If you've got all this time to stall things and act

like a big shot, then show me some guts while you're at it.
