Right here, right now.

Right here, right now.

Right here,

right now.

Thank you for

watching!

We are fighting dreamers. Let's aim for the top.

Fighting dreamers. No matter what happens, we're fighting dreamers. Let's

believing.

Right here, right now!

All right, guy.

We'll leave Sasuke in your hands.

Master Jiraiya.

Find the Lady Tsunade.

Bring her back to us. Don't worry. You can count on us. We'll have her back in

the village in no time.

Now, Ruto, nothing impresses me more than gut, kid. Come here, let me give

this.

Lee got stronger with this.

Really? What? What is it?

Check it out!

It's breathable, retains moisture, and offers complete freedom of movement all

in one sweet package.

If you wear it while you train, you'll notice a difference immediately.

They really grow on you.

Pretty soon, you'll be wearing them all the time, just like Lee.

I've got a bit of a thing for myself.

Oh, man!

If you're going to walk around carrying that thing, you ought to pack a hand

mirror or two, you idiot.

Pretty cool, huh?

Hmm?

Don't even think about it. I mean, look at that guy.

Huh?

Man, now that is goofy.

This is it.

Huh?

This is the biggest gambling hole in town!

I

know

that he's the one you're really after.

You're right.

Naruto is the prize that the Akatsuki are after.

And we will have him.

Hmm.

What's up?

So, Pervy Sage.

What exactly do those guys want with me anyway?

Hmm.

Come on out with it, Pervy Sage. You know, don't you?

Don't get the wrong idea.

It's not you they want.

It's what's inside of you.

What the hell is this thing, anyway?

Some horrible demon that terrorized the Leaf Village.

That's why everyone's so afraid of it, right? So why do these guys want it so

bad?

The Nine -Tailed Fox has appeared in times of consequence all through the

a ghastly spirit destroying all that lays in its path.

As powerful as any act of nature, men trembled before it.

As for what they would want with that malicious monstrosity, that's a hard

question to answer, Naruto. I honestly can't say.

I suppose with the nine tails sealed up inside you, They might be thinking of

somehow seizing control of that power, bending it to their will.

It's a bitter pill to swallow, knowing that those two will be after you now.

that is your fate.

Not to worry, though. After all, you will have me around.

Oh, well, I'll just have to hurry up and get stronger.

No other choice.

Hmm?

Tsunade woman you're talking about. So she can fix up Sasuke and we get down to

some serious training.

This kid's got a one -track mind.

A new training begin. I will be strong.

This place has the highest minimum in town.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Let's do this.

What now?

This beautiful woman that you've got us out here scouting around for.

Is she the Tsunade that you mentioned?

Hey, not bad, kid. You're pretty sharp, aren't you? Why? What's on your mind,

then? Well, you said she was one of the three legendary Sannin. The same as you,

right, Pervy Sage?

That's right.

What's your point already?

How old is she?

Same age as me.

Ugh, she's ancient.

Here's all my cash.

You think I could get some chips?

She's going all in.

Looks like a pretty big spender. Who is

this broad?

You're kidding. You never heard of her?

She's the one with the crazy nickname.

Nickname?

So, what's this do -not -a -lady like, anyway?

Ah, curious, are you?

Yeah.

What can I tell you?

Well, for one thing, she's kind of unpleasant.

Plus, I guess there's the fact that she's known far and wide as a die -hard

gambler and all.

Great! This should be a piece of cake then, if she's as famous as all that.

Oh, she's famous, all right. You might even call her legendary.

So, uh, what's this crazy nickname she's got?

The legendary.

Legendary?

Ow! Why are they all laughing?

Boink, boink.

The legendary... Sucker.

But as legendary a sucker as she may be, I doubt she's going to be all that easy

to find.

Why? What makes you say that?

She's not the type to grow old gracefully.

Probably using some kind of jutsu to mask her appearance.

She's actually 50 years old, but I'm sure she'll look more like she did in

20s. Huh?

That's not all. The word on the wind I hear of late is she started transforming

on the fly, going from her teens to her 30s or 40s, all so she can cut out on

any moneylender she's in too deep with.

That's awful! Ah, Mitch!

sounds like a charmer. Yeah, well, Tsunade's always loved gambling more

anything. Too bad she never had any luck. Or skill, for that matter.

She was made a sucker so many times the name just stuck with her. But then she

would just borrow money and skip out on her debts.

Ah, it brings me back, I tell ya.

Hey, we don't have time for nostalgia!

Come on, do you have a plan for finding her or what?

Not exactly.

We might have a little work ahead of us, but I'm sure you and I'll come up with

something.

So you don't even have the slightest idea how long this is going to take, do

you? Not a minute will be wasted.

Huh?

All our time on the road will be devoted solely to you.

To me?

We've got to get you stronger.

Time to train!

Okay! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on a second.

Look, I already told you, I'm not having that. I don't want to be seen walking

around with someone wearing that, that, that, that thing.

Come on, Burby Sage, what are we waiting for?

Let's start my training already.

All right, don't get ahead of yourself now.

I have to train you while we gather information on Tsunade. Otherwise, it's

going to mean anything to you.

Huh? Gather information?

In this town.

Whoa!

Oh, you ought to be great.

I've never seen anything like this before in my life.

Downtime is important, so have a little fun before we start your training.

This festival will be going on for a while. We'll hunker down here until it's

over. And then we'll start your training here, too.

All right!

Oh, baby, that is one fat frog you got. You're filthy rich.

Yeah, I've got a pretty big stash. I've been saving up bit by bit for my

missions.

Catch you later. Stop right there, Naruto.

I'm going to hold onto your wallet for you.

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Here, you can have this much to spend.

What? Only 300?

I don't want to hear it.

Honoring the Shinobi's three prohibitions is the duty of any

Three prohibitions? What are you talking about?

You're kidding. Don't you know? The three prohibitions are a trio of

that will bring a Shinobi to his ruin. Those three prohibitions are alcohol,

pretty women, and worst of all, money.

Yeah. Well, none of those things really apply to me all that much, so we're

cool. I mean, I'm underage, so I can't drink yet. I don't really get the whole

woman thing. And I work so hard to save all that money that I really don't feel

like spending a ton of it. You little fool!

Don't take money lightly! Once you start spending, you'll never stop!

Money possesses a frightful power.

This woman, Tsunade, that we're searching for has ruined herself with

pursuit of it.

Stop coming from someone so addicted to the lady.

I'm going to go see if I can gather some information.

Here, I want you to hold on to my bag for me, okay?

If you happen to get lost somehow, you can always rely on my tracker toad to

sniff out my scent.

Bitch!

I've got to keep reminding myself he's still just a kid.

Okay, the first thing I need is a little something to eat.

Can I get an order of octopus dumpling?

Sure thing.

Three potatoes with butter.

Coming up.

Six chocolate -covered bananas.

Okie dokie.

Six pieces of apricot candy.

Thank you. Three orders of okonomiyaki. Here you go. Syrup's on the side.

One extra large order of fried noodles, please.

You got it.

That sure is a lot of food you got there, son. You don't plan to eat all of

yourself, do you?

Huh? Well, that was kind of the idea.

Here you go.

I think I might have eaten too much.

I wonder how everyone is doing.

Kakashi -sensei.

Sasuke.

Sakura.

I'm going to train hard every day and come back to you even stronger.

Wait and see.

But first, I better work up all that food.

Last one!

Yeah!

All right!

Right on target!

Well, that shuriken training wasn't for nothing.

Man, kid, you stink.

Yeah, we'll see. Get a load of this.

Not so fast.

What?

Attention, Shinobi.

Ninjutsu strictly forbidden?

Thank you.

Careful,

kid. You shouldn't walk around with that mask on.

the Burby Sage's checkbook.

One, ten, one hundred.

Look! Look at all those zeros!

Geez, he should be treating me right now if he's this loaded for crying out

loud. Cheap old geezer!

Not much left.

One more stand and that'll be it for the day.

We've got to get you stronger.

Time to train.

Hey, how's it going?

I'd like to get two grilled squid, please.

Oh, and make one of those big enough for a grown -up. Okay, coming up. Got

setting a squid run, huh? Tell you what, I'll throw in the kids' thighs for

free. Thanks a lot, mister.

You're the man.

Oh, you think so, huh?

Well, you're getting half price on that other squid, too.

Wow, thanks!

Good grief. Where did he run off to?

Huh?

Was that Pervy Sage?

Hmm?

What can I say? I love the ladies.

Oh. Hey, kid. Had your fill of the festival already, huh?

Look what you did, you little punk.

Nick.

Huh? You stained the boss's brand -new designer suit, you street rat.

You're paying for that. $100 ,000 large.

What? You're telling me that suit cost $100 ,000? That seems a little bit of a

stretch, fellas. You expect us to believe that monkey suit is worth $100

You looking for trouble, old man?

You'll shut your yap if you know it's good for you.

The boss used to be a tuning from the hidden village of the stones. The

legendary dark ninja, beard across the land.

Ah, this I gotta hear.

The legendary what now? You're asking for it, pal! Just keep pushing!

Naruto? Huh?

This is perfect timing.

I have a new jutsu I want to show you. Now, pay attention.

Enough already!

I was holding back.

Oh, you guys are hardly worth the trouble.

Wait a minute.

You're the legendary... Sorry about that. I guess we kind of messed up your

stand.

Here.

This should cover it.

Ah, thanks a lot.

Now then, my good man, I'd like to buy every balloon you've got, including

balloons. How's that sound?

Time by me, I guess.

That was no ordinary hand move.

What the heck kind of jutsu was that?

Naruto! Huh?

Let's get going.

Time for you to train.

Yes, sir!

Alright! It's finally time to get down to business!

Here you go. Have a water balloon.

Huh? What the heck is this for?

Just think about it.

You saw the jutsu I performed, right?

Uh -huh. And how would you describe it?

You sent that guy spinning like a pinwheel.

Ah, he's not quite getting it. But I've got an idea.

Good. Spinning. There you go.

He's spinning water in that balloon without even moving his hand.

With the tree climbing exercise, you learn to gather and maintain chakra.

With the water walking exercise, you learn to release a steady amount of it.

Both of these you've mastered, correct?

With the water balloon exercise, you'll learn to create a stream of chakra,

spinning it, as you so aptly put it.

I'm supposed to create a stream of chakra?

Don't worry.

I'll go into more detail on how the jutsu works once you've gotten a handle

the basics.

First. Gather the chakra in your hand using the tree climbing technique.

Then release a steady stream of it using the walk on water technique.

And finally, use the chakra to push and churn the water inside of the balloon.

Wait a second. I get it. So what you're aiming for then is to spin the water

inside the balloon until it eventually pops.

Atta boy.

You're starting to catch on quicker.

Okay. We'll train until the sun goes down.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Talkin' about it

heart, kid.

You might just master it yet.

I think the water's starting to move.

The question is always, when is it going to pop?

Next time, keep on training.
