Fighting Prima! Aiming for the tatami!

Fighting Prima!

Don't care what you do!

Fighting Prima!

Believe in yourself!

Only, only, only you! Just go my way! Right here, right now! Super Strike

Rider! Right here, right now! Go!

Yeah!

Yeah!

We are Fighting Dreamers!

Right here, right now!

Unbelievable.

I never expected the fourth Hokage's jutsu.

Still, it's not like the real thing. Not coming from this little genin.

Tsunade's as strong as ever, I see.

I remember the time she gave me a shot that sent me flying 100 meters in the

opposite direction.

Ouch.

He shouldn't even try to take her on.

Naruto, are you all right?

Jiraiya, are you the one who taught this little kid the Rasengan?

Rasengan?

Well, of course I did. I'm his teacher, aren't I?

What of it?

You and the fourth Hokage are the only ones who can use that jutsu.

What's the point of teaching it to someone who can never master it, you old

fool?

Giving him false hopes like that, filling his head with stupid ideas,

think he could actually be Hokage someday.

I'll show you who's stupid!

Just wait! Just wait!

Give me just three days and I'll have that jutsu down flat!

Huh.

Watch what you say, kid.

I might just hold you to it.

I said it and I never go back on my word.

That's my Nindo, my ninja way.

Well then, care to make a bet on it?

A bet?

I'll give you one week.

If you can master that jutsu by then, I'll admit I'm wrong and that you're

worthy of becoming Hokage.

I'll even throw in my necklace.

Lady Tsunade, no.

No, you don't really mean that.

Ah, you can keep it. I'm not really into jewelry. You numbskull.

That necklace belonged to the first Hokage himself.

There are only two like it in the world.

Why, that little thing is worth three gold mines and the mountains on top of

them.

Lady,

you've got yourself a bet.

It's always money with this kid.

All right.

However, if you don't master it in a week, you lose and admit I was right.

get the money in froggy.

Dr. Alma, wait a second.

Lady Tsunade, what are you doing? How could you gamble with the necklace?

He hasn't a chance of winning.

Let's go, Shizune.

No matter how bad things got, she's never bet the necklace before.

Don't decide now.

But we'll expect your answer within the week.

Inheritance! The necklace of death!

What the... Who could that be at this time of night?

Okay, okay, I'm coming already.

Hold her... I know it's awfully late.

I'm sorry, but I must talk to you.

I want to get a good night's sleep because I'm going to start training

thing in the morning. That's just it.

Before you get into this, there's something you must know about the

And also about Lady Tsunade.

I couldn't care less about that crazy old bat. Don't say that. She's not the

type of person you think she is.

What right have you? You don't know anything about her.

Please forgive me.

I didn't mean to shout.

Lady Tsunade wasn't always like that.

She used to be so kind, dedicated to the village, but she's changed.

But ever since that day... Huh?

What day's that?

Talk already! Since what day?

The day she lost all she had.

Dreams, hopes, everything.

She had nothing left after that, except the necklace and all of its memories.

Please understand, that necklace is more precious than life for her.

It's not simply a piece of jewelry to be gambled away on a silly bet.

Look, a bet's a bet. Anyway, it was her idea, not mine.

You'll be sorry if you think it's something you'll be able to wear like a

trophy. This is not just any necklace.

It won't accept anyone else wearing it.

Only on Lady Tsunade does it remain safe.

When anyone else puts it on, they die.

Milwaukee, I can't believe you're 12.

Happy birthday.

Just because you're my sister, you don't have to give me presents. I'm not a

little kid anymore.

You know that? Oh, yeah?

You're still a kid as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, whether you are or not, go on and open it. I think you're definitely

going to like it.

Sister, is this what I think it is?

Yep. It belonged to our grandfather, the necklace of the first Hokage.

I love you!

I thought it made more sense for you to have it.

I know you've had your eye on it for a long time now.

Take good care of it.

Oh, I will, and not just the necklace.

This entire village meant a lot to our grandfather.

And I'm going to take good care of all of it.

Milwaukee?

After all, I'm the grandson of the Hokage who built the village hidden in

leaves.

Remember, like you always say, a man never goes back on his word. Right. And

give my word I'll follow our grandfather's footsteps and be just like

To be Hokage.

That is my dream.

Nowaki, take off your headband, just for a sec.

Huh? Go on, take it off. I have one more present I want to give you.

A magic charm to make your dream come true.

Oh, it's best if you don't look, Tsunade.

What difference can it make?

The condition the body's in.

She won't even be able to recognize her little brother. Silence, Orochimaru!

This is what happens in war.

Shinobi are just left on the battlefield to die.

There are no doctors or healers to help them.

It's too bad the boy was so reckless.

As if he thought he were invulnerable.

And the day after receiving such a lovely gift, too.

Oh, I will, and not just the necklace.

This entire village meant a lot to our grandfather.

And I'm going to take good care of all of it.

Therefore... I'm making this proposal for any four ninja squad that we send

harm's way.

If we make one member of each squad a trained medical specialist, it will not

only increase their survival rate, but will improve the chances of their

being a success.

I say we need to establish a teaching facility to train selected ninja in the

healing arts. And we need to do it now.

At once. We've lost too many shinobi already.

Ah.

Yes, there is much sense in what you say, Tsunade.

But at present we have no one with enough expertise in such things.

And we're in the midst of a great war.

Such an undertaking would require time and resources.

And our enemies won't sit back and wait for us.

So we do nothing?

We go on throwing their lives away? I agree. I say she's right.

If we can learn to save future generations of Shinobi, then those

perhaps this way their deaths will have meaning.

Thanks for that.

There's no need to thank me. What you said was right.

I was thinking.

It's getting late.

Would you like me to see you home?

Oh, but don't you... Isn't your house... Mm -hmm. The other way.

Don't bother, really.

Oh, it's no bother.

I wanted to talk to you anyway.

Besides, I love this walk and all its memories.

It's the way I used to go to pick my little sister up at the academy.

Used to?

Yes. That night a year ago, when the village was attacked, my sister was

So him too.

We're the same.

Tomorrow's another mission into enemy territory.

Whoever said it was a shinobi's duty to watch his comrades die one by one?

I know.

We're beset by death.

It's all around us.

I'd give my life to bring some order to this war -torn world.

I love this village and the people in it with all my heart.

I want to protect them.

I want to lead them in building a better world than this.

It's been my dream ever since my sister died.

It's all that's kept me going.

To be Hokage. That is my dream.

Don.

Take this.

I want you to have it.

Come, Don. You'll be all right.

You're not, eh?

I don't want to die yet.

There are so many things left to do.

Don't try to talk!

He's all torn up inside.

No one can help him now, not even one of the Sanin.

It can't be.

I can't die here.

Not this way.

Not yet.

Don't worry, Don.

Stop the bleeding.

Just save your strength.

You're going to be all right.

Thank goodness.

That's a relief.

Wait! Hang on!

No!

Help. Help me.

Come back.

Don't go.

Please don't go. Don't leave me. Don't go.

So you see, Naruto, that was the day.

Changed her.

She's been in torment ever since.

Where are you going?

Out. I need to start training.

Funny finding you here.

What the hell do you want?

Don't be that way.

You know you're glad to see me.

Master Jiraiya.

Shizune, would you mind leaving the two of us alone for a while?

It's been years since we've sat down together.

Bring me the house special over here and a drink.

Yes, sir. Coming up.

Thank you, Master Jiraiya.

Perfect. Just the thing.

I have to say, I never imagined that you'd still have that necklace after all

these years.

I just assumed you would have gambled it away long before now.

Guess it's all you have to remember them by.

Is he on your mind?

What do you mean?

Naruto, of course.

Not much.

I don't know. Taking on a young kid like that as an opponent, he'll never be

able to master that jutsu in a week, and you know it.

It's not much of a bet.

Why so glum, anyway?

Who's glum? I don't know what you're talking about.

When are you meeting Orochimaru again?

I can see it in Shizune's face.

I don't know what sort of deal he may have offered you, but think carefully

before accepting it.

Very carefully.

Remember the Hokage that have come before, and all they've accomplished for

Leaf Village.

It's only thanks to them that the village has survived, even prospered,

troubled times.

This was their dream, and they were all willing to gamble everything to achieve

it. Even their lives.

Betray that dream and you make all their sacrifices meaningless.

Why am I saying this? Could you do such a thing?

If I thought you could, I would stop you right here and now.

It has nothing to do with me anymore.

A person who feels nothing at the death of those close to him is no different

than a butcher.

But you're not like that.

There was no one who cared more for the village or felt its pain more deeply.

I remember the day.

Okay, that's enough of the lecture!

That dumb kid.

Why did you have to bring him here?

To be Hokage, that is my dream!

They're a lot alike.

They must be almost the same age.

It's not just that.

To be Hokage.

That is my dream.

You're always so reckless.

You want to kill yourself?

You're still just a genin, so if there's ever a real battle, you get out of

there fast.

Are you crazy? I'm never gonna run away!

They're more alike than you know.

There's no way.

I'm totally out of gas.

Just gotta try it again tomorrow.

Ugh, my head.

What a night.

That Tsunade always was a bad influence.

Huh?

Naruto never came in. Must have been training all night.

Little fool.

So, do we have a deal?

I'm offering to bring your dear little brother and your beloved back to life

with a forbidden jutsu that I have developed.

Come now, don't you want to see them again, dear Tsunade?

What do you plan on doing once your arms have been restored to you? This time

around. I'm going to grind the Hidden Leaf Village into dust.

My lady, think of your brother. Think of my uncle.

It would be a betrayal of them. A betrayal of yourself.

Have you forgotten all your dreams? I'll cut to the chase.

Tsunade, in all its wisdom, the village has come to the decision to name you as

the fifth Hokage.

Thank you.

me is

That's what gambling's all about!
