Right here, right now. Right here, right now.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Thank you for watching!

Right here, right now!

Ninja no more!

Atta boy, Akamaru!

You nailed it! Now that's aerial dynamic marketing!

Now try it while spinning!

Watch your aim!

Is that any way to walk a dog?

No, I think not.

I can't gather specimens this way.

Wow, it must be so nice to have something you're good at and that you

the three of you have.

You will find your strength someday too, Hinata.

Yes, maybe I will.

So, what is it?

There's something you want to tell me?

Using the clues I've given you, determine the quickest route from your

point to the target.

Begin!

Right.

Okay, listen up. I'm afraid that once again I'm going to have to dismiss class

early. But that problem is your homework.

getting the whole day off. That can't be good, you know.

I mean, sometime we're going to have to learn all this stuff. You're such a

goody -goody.

Isn't he, Konohamaru?

Ransom, we, uh... I said, where are you taking them? They belong to my

grandfather!

Uh, well, these things, they're just in the way, you see, so we thought it would

be best to put them somewhere safe.

What do you mean, just in the way?

You shouldn't even be touching that stuff! Who gave you permission?

Well, we have to make room for the next Hokage.

Uh, what?

Yeah, it's done.

The fifth Hokage has finally been chosen.

It's a big relief to the whole village.

Now the one that's been chosen is moving in, so we have to...

What am I doing here? Well, what are you doing here, you pesky little runt?

Who's a little runt?

I dare you to call me that again!

Oh, yeah?

So you're a glutton for punishment, huh?

You're a pesky little runt. I'm warning you if you call me that again!

Lady Tsunade!

Hmm?

You really should be going in now. The elders are waiting for you.

Oink. All right, Shizune, I'm coming.

You watch your step, little boy.

I wish you'd try and behave nicely. Because, of course, I'm the one

complains to.

Okay, okay.

Actually, she doesn't look that old, but she is. I've seen her all right.

Where is she? Well,

it's a long story.

I haven't got time to tell you. Now I've got to get her to the infirmary,

pronto! The infirmary?

Yeah, she's supposed to be some hot shot medical ninja.

Everyone's making such a big deal about her being Hokage.

Has she forgotten what she came for?

She's the fifth Hokage, you jerk!

There are seven birds within fifty meters of pillar number two.

What do you want, Tenten?

Neddy!

Hey, haven't you heard the news? Lady Tsunade's returned!

It's really her!

Don't you want to see her?

No, not really.

Not right now.

There were eight birds.

Listen carefully, Tsunade. We must send word to the feudal lord that the fifth

Hokage has officially arrived in the village.

All the preparations must begin at once for the installation ceremony.

Can't we just skip the ceremonies? They're such a bore.

Tsunade!

Okay, okay. It comes with the job, I guess.

One of the perks of being Hokage.

Genma! Here. Alba!

Here.

Send out the word.

Everyone in the village must be made aware that in a few days from now, we

officially welcome the fifth Hokage.

Okay.

I hate you, Grandpa.

Why did you have to go and die?

A new Hokage!

I hate all this. My body's sore and stiff.

All I want is to sit down and relax with a nice hot cup of tea.

Yes, but ladies... Not so fast, Grandma!

Before you start sucking down some tea, isn't there something you're forgetting

about?

What would that be?

Come on, are you kidding me? What about Takashi Sensei and Sasuke and Bushy

Brow? Oh, yeah, I did forget about them.

Well, if it isn't Naruto.

Shikamaru? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be somewhere stuffing your

face? How about you? You're usually still asleep this time of day.

Very funny. My dad asked me to come along with him, but don't ask me why.

Hey,

do they know each other?

Greetings, Lady Tsunade. It's been a long time.

You're that kid from the Nara family.

Hope you're still taking good care of the deer.

I made a lot of good medicine out of those antlers.

Oh, yes. The deer are fine.

Who's the blonde girl?

And why is she talking to my dad like she's his boss?

Didn't you hear? She's the fifth Hokage.

Huh?

And she's no girl. She's actually an old lady in her fifties. Huh?

I'll see you again soon, no doubt.

Yes, my lady.

So long. We're going to the infirmary.

I'll catch you later, Shikamaru. I'll show you the killer new technique I

up.

That's really the fifth Hokage?

Watch it, Shikamaru.

That woman is one of the strongest ninja you'll ever meet.

Don't let her good looks fool you.

Yeah?

After all, there's a reason she's the only female among the legendary Sannin.

Okay, but I mean a woman, Hokage?

Not to sound prejudiced or anything, but is that such a good idea?

Hmm.

Come on, you know what they're like. You can never figure them out. You never

know where you stand with them. The smallest things can put you on their bad

side. And always playing their little mind games with you, trying to get you

do what they want.

They're just a big pain, basically.

Listen,

Shukamaru. Keep in mind that without women, you and I wouldn't even exist.

And take my word for it, they make men better people than we'd ever be without

them. Unlike us, even the strongest of them isn't afraid to be gentle with the

man she loves.

It's funny to hear him talking like this.

Tied to Mom's apron strings the way he is.

Someday you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Oh, we better hurry up. Let's finish up our business here and get back.

You know how your mother will chew us out if we're late.

Come on, Shikamaru.

Well, if a woman has made him a better person, I'd hate to see what he was like

before.

May I come in?

Uh, who are you?

Whoever she is, she's beautiful.

Sakura! Sakura!

You'll never believe it. She's going to make everything okay again.

Don't worry.

Sasuke's going to be all right now.

Naruto.

Those flowers weren't picked the same day.

Looks like she's been visiting him for a while now.

You must be the one guy Sensei told me about.

Oh, please, if you can save Sasuke.

Well, I'll see what I can do.

The little tough guy has a soft spot, I see.

Huh? Come on, you're not done.

Ah, disgraceful.

To be taken completely out of the game by two low -life punks like that, I

thought you were supposed to be the best.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Okay, that's Kakashi -sensei. Now just one more and you're all done.

Rock Lee, he's right next door. Next door!

Lee!

Look who's here to see you. It's Lady Tsunade.

Is

this

one of your students, Guy?

Yeah! He's more than a student. He's like a son.

I see.

Naruto. Huh? Do you really have time to be dawdling around here?

You're right. I almost forgot I'm supposed to meet Iruka -sensei. Better

along. Right.

I'll let you take it from here.

All right.

Hey there.

Naruto? Finally, Iruka -sensei, where you been?

I'm late, sorry.

It's all the preparations for the fifth Hokage.

Well, okay, whatever.

There you go.

Ah, this was worth waiting for.

Naruto. Hmm?

You've sure come a long way since the time you were just a kid trying to earn

one of these.

I'll say.

I'm glad you noted.

Admit it, aren't you glad you gave me this headband?

It looks pretty darn good on me, don't you think?

I wouldn't be so cocky. You've still got a long way to go.

Be careful that you don't get a swelled head.

I want you to listen carefully.

The Leaf Village is up against the wall.

We lost the third Hokage, as well as many of our best shinobi.

Our strength down to less than half. But even so, we still have to carry through

with all the missions we're given. Why do you have to?

Turn them down if you don't have the manpower.

Use your head, Naruto.

If we started turning down missions, it would be the same thing as telling the

world that our village is weak.

So everyone has to pitch in. Even the walking wounded, like Kakashi -sensei.

That's too bad.

You're up against it, all right.

It concerns you too, hotshot.

You may be asked to carry out missions, too, and to fight battles you're not

ready for yet. I'm ready, but you can't expect me to fight well on an empty

stomach.

I guess you haven't changed that much.

I know you'll do your best.

I'll take another bowl!

Whoa, whoa!

You're kidding!

No one will hold it against you if you give up on being a shinobi.

But... but you're not serious.

You're exaggerating, right, Lady Tsunade?

His injuries have left numerous bone fragments embedded in his spinal column.

It's a miracle he can still move at all.

He's physically incapable of carrying out the duties of a shinobi.

It's some kind of test, right? You don't really mean that.

Even if I were able to operate... Don't listen to her, Lee!

That's not Lady Tsunade. It's an imposter. It's some kind of demon that's

transformed itself to look like her. Who are you? What do you want?

No chance?

It is hopeless?

No one but me could even attempt the operation.

But even with my skills, the risks would be enormous.

What risks?

The chances of it being successful are 50 -50 at best.

And if it should fail, he'll die.

I will never give up, Gai -sensei. I will be back stronger than ever.

This is horrible, Gai -sensei. Why are you making me eat this?

They're very rare Chinese herbal medicine balls.

I'm told that eating 100 or so should heal your injury.

Then I do not care what they taste like. I will eat them all, whatever it takes.

I don't think they met all of them in one day.

It's best if you give up being a shinobi find a different path

If I had known you were going to do this, I would have never let you see

Don't say that!

I understand your pain.

Believe me, I get no pleasure from this.

But he needs to know the truth, and to know it now.

A choice has to be made.

Putting it off won't make it any easier.

Thank you for

watching!

But love can be done, if you love

She told me no
