I don't know.

foreign

I see that the stories are true.

I'd always heard that the last of the great Uchiha clan was a hopeless loser

unworthy of his family name.

So, uh, you must be hungry, Sasuke. Is there something special you want to eat?

Well, I'll go pick something up for you.

To be honest with you, I don't know what to do.

With the final exam being suspended, it was the opinion of many that none of the

students should pass this time around.

And that includes you.

However, I hear that the third Hokage had nothing but the highest praise for

your match.

It seems he meant to recommend you for Chunin.

In fact...

All those who observed the fight and your proctors felt the same.

Though in this case, my opinion doesn't really matter.

From this day forth, I hope you will strive to achieve a level of excellence

worthy of that headband.

Congratulations. As of this moment, you stand attuning.

Wow!

You know, even a guy who's as lazy as you are somehow seems respectable all of

sudden.

It doesn't suit you.

It's not that funny.

Funny or not, let's have a toast and celebrate Shikamaru's outstanding

to tuning.

Yeah!

Let's eat!

Choji, hey!

Lay off of the meat. We're about to have a toast.

Oh, sorry.

I just didn't want it to get burned.

There's plenty of meat for everyone.

Dig in.

All right!

Go away.

You don't interest me at the moment.

Naruto is the one you're really after.

You're gonna end up in the hospital again, Choji.

I mean, haven't you ever heard of savoring your food?

Don't worry.

I figure the more bites I eat, the more bites I get to savor, right?

Come on, Choji. That's the last piece of meat, and I cooked it. The last piece

of meat. This bite shall be the most sacred bite of our entire meal and must

consumed with utmost care.

So back off, sister.

I'm not handing this morsel over to anyone.

Act like such an idiot!

Choji! Pulling ridiculous stuff like this is why everyone always makes fun of

you! You are such a fag! Eno, don't say that word.

And Choji, settle down.

A meal's not the same as a battle. Stop being such a pain. We're trying to relax

here.

Vulgar. Short -tempered.

Lazy.

I wonder if these kids are going to make it.

Particularly.

Choji, you've got to stop thinking about food. Do a little training for once.

Oh,

Choji.

You're so lucky that you don't have to worry about what or how much you eat.

Let me tell you, being on a diet can be pretty tough.

Well, then, why are you on a diet, Eno? We diet for one very important reason,

Choji. So we can look as cute as we can for the boy we like.

But what if the person that you like isn't into super skinny girls?

Well, in the first place, most boys aren't as fat. I mean, most of the boys

know like girls who look fit.

And that's true the other way around as well.

You might think about taking a little better care of your body, Chozy.

Or you won't get any girls.

He has no clue.

Despite what most women seem to believe, men don't always go for the skinny

girls. Most guys I know, they like girls with a little meat on their bones.

It just looks healthier.

Oh, yeah. And the reverse is true, too. You know?

I'd bet anything she'd be twice as popular if she'd put on a few pounds

of starving herself.

She should eat.

You're one hilarious guy, Shimaru. And you're kind of a genius, too.

Huh? That's right.

Just think about it. Even I can see that you're way more amazing than Sasuke or

that Neji guy could ever dream of being.

Hmm?

Huh. I never really thought about it like that before.

I'm just being me.

That may be so, but you're the only student who actually became a Chunin in

Chunin exam this time.

But I'm probably not as good a fighter as you are.

I mean, really. If I had been facing off against you, I probably would have

given up the fight.

But earlier you heard Sensei tell me that all I do is eat and that I should

training hard. Like I said before, I'm just being me. And you should just keep

being you. It's stupid to talk about all the things that you're not.

Huh? Hey, Asuma says a lot of things, but don't take him too seriously.

Just live your life, eat your food, and take things easy.

Hmm.

See you later. I'm heading home. My dad's been making me nervous talking

how he actually wants to teach me a new jutsu or something.

Shimano.

Hmm?

Well, what is it?

Um, just good luck with your training.

Later.

You're a good guy, Joji.

Naruto... The time is right.

Head for the Leaf Village.

Now.

I see.

You've made up your mind, then?

Yes. I have already been carrying out fitness training to prepare for the

surgery. I will return to action as soon as I can after I heal.

Lee.

Yes, ma 'am, what is it?

You can quit as a shinobi.

It won't kill you, you know.

What is it with you? Why are you so fixated on being a shinobi?

It is everything to me.

I must prove that with enough heart, even someone with my faults can become a

real ninja.

But it's important you realize there is still a chance that you could die.

Even so.

That's a promise.

It is my dream. What can I say?

Tell me, what makes you so touchy about Hokage?

It's because unlike you, that's my goal. Just watch, because someday I will be

the Hokage.

To be Hokage, that is my dream.

Such ambitious children seem to come from this village.

Sarutobi -sensei, I can see you were a magnificent Hokage.

The surgery is this afternoon. You should prepare yourself.

Let's go, Lee.

Are you ready for this?

Yes, ma 'am.

Look, I brought you some apple.

You like them, right?

Here, don't they look delicious?

That's weird. I wonder where I put that knife I had before.

It's right in front of you, Sakura.

Oh.

You're so lame getting all scatterbrained just because you're

do you have to come in here on a swing? Naruto.

Geez,

Naruto, will you knock it off already?

Sakuran.

I swear I'll protect you.

Okay, okay, don't hit me.

Sasuke.

Thank you.

I mean, you know, you protected me from the sand, right?

No.

It wasn't me who rescued you.

It was Naruto.

You don't have enough hate.

And you know something?

You never will.

Done. All peeled and ready. I'll cut it so it's easier to eat.

Here, want to try one?

You, Naruto.

Yeah, I'm listening.

I want you to fight me. Fight me now.

What? We're in a hospital. You just got patched up by Grandma Tsunade. What are

you talking about?

Shut up and fight!

Sasuke. Do you really think you saved me?

I don't care if she's the fifth Hokage.

You shouldn't have gotten her involved in this.

What?

After all, you did say you wanted to fight.

Well, now it looks like you've got your chance.

That is, unless you've chickened out.

Hey! God, Gate! Wait, don't do this!

Noriko, say something!

This is crazy!

Actually, this is... Perfect. I was just thinking about how I wanted to kick

your butt. Hey, why don't you guys talk about this? What do you think?

Follow me.

What's this weird feeling?

My lower belly's all tight.

I want to fight you too.

And I'm getting chills.

What's so funny?

I'm not laughing because it's funny. I'm just psyched.

Because I know that today is the day when I finally beat you.

You're right.

Naruto is the prize that the Akatsuki are after.

And we will have him.

What did you say? Don't talk nonsense, you inept loser.

I won't be such a loser after I win today, will I?

Go away.

You don't interest me at the moment.

You. An idiot like you has no business acting all high and mighty.

Ha! What happened to the comm control, Sasuke?

Am I making you nervous?

It looks like you picked a fight with me and now you're too scared to go through

with it. Is that it?

Let's just do this.

Put on your headband and we will.

I'll wait.

Not to worry. I don't need that thing. Just do it! Come on!

There's no reason to put it on.

Because you won't be able to make a scratch on my forehead.

That's not the point!

Come on, you know putting your headband on is a testament to fighting on equal

terms as a Leaf Shinobi.

There you go, acting all high and mighty again.

You don't honestly believe that we're equals.

Heck yeah, I do. All this time, I've never once thought that I was inferior

you in any way.

You're a complete embarrassment.

Only because next to me, you're embarrassed at how weak you are. Isn't

right, Sasuke?

Naruto!

Don't get cocky and let your guard down!

Naruto...

Fireball choo -choo!

No! Naruto!

How did he... What did you do with that?

Hidori! One thousand burns!

Please, stop this.

I'll win no matter what! I'm not finished with you yet!

Stop fighting!

Both of you, stop!

Thank you. Thank you.

Even though we had fights, we carried out our missions together.

But now, both Sasuke and Naruto have moved ahead, while I'm the only one left

behind.

Sasuke, even though you're this close to me, I feel like you're very distant.

No matter what happens, Sasuke, I can't see you.
