All language subtitles for Boruto Naruto Next Generations (Dub) Episode 48

It's been one week since the Byakuya
gang incident.

Things have finally settled back down to
normal, haven't they?

They have. It's all thanks to everyone
in the village listening and taking my

speech to heart. However, the rumors
that were started by the Byakuya gang

caused a lot of damage. I realize that
there are people who are still

dissatisfied, and I don't blame them. I
intend to address their concerns.

There's been a decrease in the number of
Genin applicants lately, but I heard

our Genin performed quite admirably.

Genin don't usually have an opportunity
to go on a mission like that, but the

ones in the area greatly helped our
efforts. I'm so thankful and especially

proud of them. How wonderful.

So why did you ignore your orders?

You're suspended for now, so go on home.

Thanks to those Genin, we have peace and
security in the Hidden Leaf Village.

I finally got through a school year
without repeating and made it as a

But Rattel...

And you also have news to share about
the upcoming tuning exam.

That's right. I'm very happy to report
that this year's tuning exam will be

in the Hidden Leaf Village. I want all
Gideon to do their best so that they can

participate in the tuning exam.

Tuning exam?

Oh, no!

At this rate, I'll have to repeat again!

At this time, I'm beginning!

Now that you're managing all the hamlets
far from the village, your work has

expanded big time.

And there were already enough things on
your plate to begin with.

You don't need to worry about me.

The one I'm worried about is Shikidai.
Why are you worried about him all of a

sudden? As usual, I have no idea what
he's up to or what he's thinking about.

However, since the incident, he seems to
be studying the art of war.

Sounds familiar.

He's starting to take after his dad, and
not just in looks.

Yeah. The question is, should I be happy
or sad about that?

As if we didn't have enough going on,
now we have to prepare for the tuning

exams at the same time. Man, what a
dr... I mean... All right, easy there.

Genin are getting pumped up about taking
the exam, so us grown -ups need to be

careful about what we say.

Good point.

Well, anyway, we're really shorthanded
overall right now.

The lack of Denning applicants is a
serious issue. It's not like it used to

Yes, there's a lot of other career
choices besides being a shinobi.

Hmm.

It really is becoming a problem, isn't
it?

Huh? Excuse me.

Oh, hello there, Udon. Good afternoon.

Your team is the one that's still on
suspension, isn't that right?

Ah, yes.

I'm ashamed to admit it. Well, let me
inform you that it's over as of right

I have the perfect mission for your
team.

I swear!

I'm gonna become a Chunin no matter
what!

There's no way in hell I'm gonna repeat
this year again, dammit!

Actually, I don't think it's called
repeating anymore at this point.

the number of applicants for the Chunin
exam is limited every year. So it is not

that big of a deal even if you do not
make it the first or second time.

Well, all that may be true.

I'm sick and tired of being the one
who's always left behind by you guys and

others.

I understand.

Genki! So then, what do you think our
team should do, Iwabe? Well, you have to

be recommended by the sensei that's in
charge of your team to be able to

participate in the Chunin exam.

We worked hard to become Genin, and we
earned these headbands.

But when the crucial moment came, we
weren't allowed to help with the Byakuya

gang incident one bit.

At this rate, We won't ever get
recommended.

We have to show everyone how good we
are.

Don't you agree?

Yeah, I see what you're saying. And the
worst part is, if we do not get to take

the exam, then we will totally end up
being called Team Repeater!

So, from now on, you guys, we have to
give 100 %!

Right!

Alright. Right, Team 7, here's your
assignment.

Please deliver these items to the hamlet
outside the village. Gotcha. We can get

this done super quick.

Wait a second. You might not want to
make it sound so easy.

But if we do not act on this quickly,
the villagers are going to suffer.

Yes, that's true, but saying we can get
it done quickly isn't necessarily

accurate. This is different from the
Byakuya gang's stuff, because we're

actually going to be helping people.

Yes, let's get to it. Right.

Long time no see, guys.

Is your arm all better now, Metal? Yes,
I am as good as new. I'm so glad to see

you've recovered.

Hey, sorry for all the trouble we
caused.

I promise to do my best.

It's your first mission in a while. Are
you feeling nervous?

Yeah, kinda. We have to put our best
effort into this.

Hey, hold on.

You got a mission already?

Oh, hey, Konohamaru. Yeah, it sure looks
that way.

All right.

Let's see what the assignment is for
Team 5.

Enrollment in the Academy's ninjutsu
curriculum has been steadily dropping

year, so you will all appear in a
promotional documentary.

A documentary?

We've never done that. I want to be in
the documentary, Ms. Suika. Pick me.

As I was saying.

Pull yourself together.

You were just talking about helping
people, remember?

We're going to set out on our mission.
But wait a second.

Fine.

I don't know, you guys. This is an
unusual mission.

Are you sure we are qualified to do
this? We are just coming off a

Yeah, since it's for PR, shouldn't it be
a team that's already distinguished

itself? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it
like that.

This could be our chance.

If we could somehow shine in this
promotional video, then our reputation

really skyrocket. Oh, yeah, that makes
sense. This really could be our chance.

You guys.

Huh? Your suspension being lifted
doesn't mean anything.

In fact, from now on, your true worth as
a shinobi will be questioned at every

turn. Of course. We'll just have to
prove ourselves with our actions.

You need to relax.

We're not filming a drama here, so you
need to settle down a bit. Just be

natural. Oh, uh, right. I am very sorry.

Damn it. I'm under a lot of pressure
right now to come up with some cool

footage. That's the director's job, all
right.

Don't be a smart aleck. This thing has
to be cool and flashy.

This documentary must convey the ideal
image of a shinobi so that it draws in

potential applicants.

Oh, right. We got it. We'll be cool and
flashy.

I'm counting on you. Let's go.

Rolling!

Oh, there you are.

Look, I really don't think this is going
to work out. What's the problem?

I didn't want to have to ask you this,
Captain, but do you think that there's

another team you could introduce me to?

The thing is, if they're going to act so
nervous, I just can't film them like

that. Would you mind talking to Lord
Hokage about getting another team?

I'm sorry, but this team was personally
chosen by Lord Hokage himself.

But you know... They're the same guys
who were just released from suspension,

right? I'm a bit worried.

You don't have anything to worry about.
They are all exceptional shinobi.

Oh, is that right?

Well, since you're their joining in
charge, maybe I should just listen to

and continue filming, right?

You know, I used to want to be a ninja
at one time in my life.

I mean, jutsus are like the coolest
thing, you know what I'm saying?

Okay, let's try it again.

Stop there, cut!

You guys still look tense.

I just wanted to get an everyday type of
shot.

But I guess you guys just don't have
that kind of spark, do you?

Guys,

listen up. Try doing something more
ninja -like, or at least something eggy.

We can definitely do that.

Right? Right!

Earth style mud wall.

Wow.

Hurricane.

Nice one.

Thank you.

Substitution jutsu.

Fantastic.

Now that's what I call ninja life. This
is what I've been looking for all along.

Just a minute.

You guys are scaring everybody in the
village.

But, Sensei, if we have to worry about
things like that, then I'm going to miss

getting all the cool shots.

A ninja's life has to be super dramatic
and spectacular.

That's what will capture the eyes of
potential applicants, right? I know. We

should block traffic, and that way we
won't have to scare anyone.

I've decided that we're not able to
carry out this particular mission. I'm

sorry, but our team must withdraw from
this project. Huh?

But that's... You can't just suddenly
decide to withdraw your team in the

of a production.

I still have many more cool scenes I was
planning to shoot.

What do you guys think? You think that
getting cool shots is important for this

film as well?

Uh, yeah, I guess so. If we want more
kids to become ninja, those kind of

might help, right?

It's important to show them ninjutsu.

We're pulling out from this mission now.

But why?

Fine, then. I have no idea what you're
suddenly so unhappy about.

But I'll tell you this.

I never wanted a bunch of wannabe ninja
losers who've been suspended to be in my

film in the first place.

I'll just have to make a request for a
more suitable ninja and start my film

over again from the beginning.

Seriously, what was Lord Hokage
thinking?

Choosing kids like you to be in this
film?

Let's go!

I'll just have to make a request for a
more suitable ninja and start my film

over again from the beginning.

I'm a capable ninja.

It's not fair.

Why does it always end up like this?

Damn it!

Stop! Do not do it!

Damn it!

What are you doing?

The headband is the symbol that proves
you are a real ninja.

If you throw it away, it means you are a
quitter. You swore over and over again

that you would make it as a ninja during
the gunning exam. So was that a lie?

I haven't thrown it away yet.

Stop! Please, guys, stop fighting! Let
go, Denki!

Stop right there.

Seriously.

You guys just got out of suspension.

Do you really want to go through it all
over again?

Shut up.

Iwobi, stop.

I said shut up. You can't understand
losers like us because you've always

the cool teacher who's never had to deal
with any of it.

You think I've always been cool?

Oh, yeah, that's right. You guys never
saw how awkward I was back in the day.

As a matter of fact...

I was a complete loser.

The academy was run differently back
then, but... I failed the graduation

several times.

Really, Udon -sensei? Even when I became
a genin, I messed up on my missions.

And I was a burden to Konohamaru and
Moegi, too.

I... I can't believe it.

But then, it was because I went through
all that that I realized something.

Until that's true for you, no more
missions.

Come on, let's go and report in.

Yes, sir.

What do you guys think? You think that
getting cool shots is important for this

film as well?

What exactly did he mean?

I was planning to do the action shots
right here, to bring the film to an

exciting climax.

Now it's all for nothing.

Oh, um, okay. Should we remove the paper
bombs that we set up earlier then?

Nah, it's already set up, and it's a
condemned building anyway, so maybe we

could still get some usable footage out
of it, huh?

Let's go ahead and blow it up and see
what kind of awesome shots we can get.

That was a really small explosion.

Let's do it again.

If we just get a shot of the smoke
rising, it really isn't going to be all

exciting. Huh?

Oh, it's coming from up there.

Great leaf hurricane!

What is that?

Did anybody get hurt?

You okay?

Thank you. Please give us your analysis.

Right.

I'm inside the building system,
activating the cameras.

I'm honing in on the center of the
crack.

It's not good. The roof is about to
collapse. We've got to evacuate.

You obey.

Right.

Got it! Huh?

First off, stone brick!

That was amazing.

Sensei, watch out!

It's way too dangerous now!

We've got to get out of here!

Just a second. I'm about to show you an
interesting jutsu right now.

Actually, it's kind of become my
specialty.

But you guys have to promise not to
laugh.

Ninja art. Dripping nose.

Incredible. It is not, though.

No. It doesn't matter what it is.

You stopped all this rubble instantly.

What do you guys think? You think that
getting cool shots is important for this

film as well?

I get it now.

That's why Sensei said that.

Everything's all right now.

Doing stuff just to look cool doesn't
necessarily mean it is cool.

And what we were taught at the academy
about being ninja had nothing to do with

whether or not we looked cool.

But all we were concerned with was how
we looked, so we tried to show off.

Oh, that was really lame.

Well, it seems that you finally
understand.

It's a fact that enrollment at the
academy has been steadily dropping.

But you know, it's not the cool ones who
become ninja.

Only those with determination can become
ninja.

No matter how tough the training and
lessons are, even if you're covered in

sweat, and look uncool, you still have
the strongest desire to become a ninja.

That's the kind of student the Academy
needs.

You three did great rescuing everyone
back there.

You put everything into practice, and
all of you did a flawless job.

I think I'm finally beginning to
understand why it is Lord Hokage chose

for this particular mission.

No way, he did?

Where's your headband?

Huh? Oh, no!

Where did it go?

You must have lost it during all the
chaos.

We will definitely find it, even if we
end up looking all night.

No. It's okay, Metal. What? But why?

It's my punishment for trying to toss it
earlier.

Besides, it's not about whether or not
you have a headband on. That's not what

makes you a ninja.

What really matters is the action you
take.

That is clearly what they... Um...

I realize I have no right to ask you
this, but if it's okay, do you think I

could continue filming your team?

No, it's our fault. We're the ones who
pulled out earlier. Are you sure it's

team you want?

I wouldn't want to do it with anyone
else.

I promise to make a great documentary.

I was a loser at one time, too, you
know?

Huh? I failed my graduation exams over
and over. And I always got scolded by

Iruka.

Lord Hokage?

That's hard to imagine.

Yeah, I cannot believe it. Your name is
Iwabe, right?

You actually know my name? I do. I heard
there was an amazing student this year

who was a repeater.

Even if you repeated, you gave it your
all to become a genin, right?

It's guys like you, with the guts to
stick it out, no matter what, that the

Academy needs more than ever.

So, can you see why I thought this
mission was perfect for you?

You've already made it this far. You're
a totally cool ninja.

It doesn't matter if you're gaming or
tuning.

Don't rush.

Focus on getting stronger.

Everyone helped to look for it.

Don't lose it again, okay?

Thank you very much.

They were cool.

That was well done. Yeah, I think this
film will be super popular.

I really question the choice of putting
Dad in it, though.

Dammit, we should have been the ones
starring in this documentary.

That's right. We can't afford to lose.

Oh yeah, come to think of it, I never
took the tuning exam, so I guess I'm

a game.

Thank you for

watching!
