[crickets chirping]

-This promises to be a challenging mission, Lee.

Are you ready?

-Yes, sensei!

I am always ready.

-Hahaha!

Spoken like a true protege!

Well, then, let's go!

-Lead on, Gai-sensei!

[ding]

-The subjects are moving out.

And from the size of those big packs they're carrying,

they ought to be gone for awhile, overnight, at least.

-What a break, to think we'd be lucky enough

to get the perfect opportunity right off the bat.

-Well, what we were waiting for you?

-You're right!

Commencing elite Operation Infiltration.

-Aaugh!

-Huh?

-Ahhh!

[thud]

-Hey, get off, idiot!

Aaugh.

There's the target!

Ripe for the plucking.

Hidden Leaf Village, here we come.

NARUTO: "The Appearance of Strange Visitors"

MALE SPEAKER: It worked!

We look just like them.

We're dead ringers.

-Yo!

-Of course it worked.

I mean, why do you think we spent all those months

perfecting our Disguise Jutsu?

-Their secrets will be ours for the taking!

-Mmm. [breaking wind]

-Right!

This mission will make us legends!

Not to mention the honor it'll bring our village.

-We'll be famous!

And they'll give us more missions!

[crowd cheers]

[laughing]

-OK, from now on, I'm not Bandai.

I'm Gai from the Leaf Village.

-And I'm not Pocha, I'm Rock Lee!

-Then let's go, Lee!

-Lead on, Gai-sense!

[shing]

[boinging]

-Now this is what I call a village!

-Ahh!

-Ew!

-Ugh!

-Look at that!

Everyone here's a ninja!

-Stop staring like that!

You look like a tourist.

[bonk]

-Now, listen.

They've got a thing in this village called a hokage.

He's like their chief, and wherever we find him,

that's where we'll find their secret documents.

-Right!

Got it.

-This guy's a big shot, so just look

for the biggest building in the village.

-Eh?

-Huh?

-Wait, there!

That's gotta be it!

-Something going on at the hokage's place?

-Dah!

-What's up?

-Nothing!

Nothing-- Nothing at all, really.

We-- we-- we're just standing here!

We're not after any secret documents or anything!

-Shut up!

[bonk]

-Heh, don't-- don't mind him.

-OK.

-Idiot!

-What're you trying to do?

Give us away?

-No.

Sorry!

-Anyway!

Hi, I'm Gai.

-And I'm Lee.

-Hmm.

You two don't look like yourselves.

Are you feeling all right?

-Yeah, fine.

Never better.

-There's something different about you.

I can't quite put my finger on it.

-Ahh!

Look there!

A flying monkey, eating an egg roll with his feet!

-Really?

Where?

[zooming off]

-Hey, are you guys pulling my leg, or-- Hmm, that's funny.

[labored breathing]

-Ooh, that was close!

That nosy ninja snuck right up on us!

-Yeah, but don't worry.

We fooled that sucker.

-You bet we did.

Our Disguise Jutsu could fool anyone.

-Yeah.

-Woo hoo hoo!

This is gonna be even easier than we thought!

-Yeah!

Who said the Leaf Village was so tough?

[laughing]

-Gai and Lee impostors, here in the village?

-Real ninja would have used transformation jutsu

to disguise themselves.

Who are these guys?

They sound pathetic.

[oinking]

-The village must be doing well.

The wackos are moving in.

-Not that I think these clowns pose much of a threat,

but I thought it was worth reporting anyway.

-No matter how harmless they seem,

we can't have intruders running around freely.

Should we run them out of town?

-Not yet.

Hold off a while.

-Huh?

-Who knows, it might be amusing.

We'll think of them as a sort of a training

exercise for the people of the village.

-But, are you sure?

-I wouldn't worry much about that.

I can't imagine anyone being dumb enough

to actually fall for these imposters.

[chuckles]

-Come on, Gai-sensei.

I'm beggin' ya.

Just this once!

Please, Bushy Brow?

Please?

Let me train with you once, just for today?

Please, please, please, please, please!

Oh, come on.

I won't get in your way, really!

-Hey!

What're we gonna do about this guy?

-He obviously knows them pretty well.

-Yeah, but he wants to train with us.

We don't know any training!

-Huh?

-Come on!

You know I've been dyin' to learn that taijutsu of yours!

I'll do anything!

Anything at all!

Name it!

Come on, please!

-We've gotta lose this kid.

-Sorry.

The answer is no.

-Heh?

Why not?

-Well, our training is difficult and dangerous.

And of course ultra, ultra top secret as well.

-Ultra, ultra top secret?

That's so cool!

I gotta have it, gotta have it!

Please?

Come on.

I won't tell anyone, I promise!

Please?

Please? [squealing]

-We said no!

Now go away!

-No, no, no!

-OK, you guys!

You asked for it!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

[gasping]

-This kid can make real clones!

-And now, Harem Jutsu!

[poof]

-Huh?

What the heck?

[coughs]

-What's going on here?

[laughing deliriously]

-Oh, say yes, please!

[kissing noises]

-Ha!

Sure, why not?

-Doh!

[poof]

-What the--

-Why'd you say yes?

Now we're stuck with this kid!

-OK, OK, I know.

Let me think.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Hey, Gai-sensei, Lee!

-Wha--

-What's going on?

Where do you think you're going?

-Huh?

-We're supposed to be helping that farmer today!

-Farmer?

-Don't tell me you forgot!

We promised we'd help him.

Come on, he's waiting.

-Oh, uh--

-Wait!

Wait!

-Hey, is this part of our training?

-Uh, well, uh--

-We promised to plant all these rice paddies for you?

We must have been out of our minds!

-Whoa.

That's a lotta rice.

-Can't tell ya how much I appreciate

you boys lendin' a hand.

-Oh, don't give it a thought.

-They love nothing more than helping people in need.

So long!

[splash]

-What kind of stupid training is this?

Wait a second!

Yeah, that's it!

Back-breaking labor combined with incredible boredom!

It's some kind of endurance training!

Hey, I love it!

Don't worry.

I could do this all day!

-There's something not quite right about that kid.

-Ugh.

This is not how I pictured Elite Operation Infiltration.

-Ah, shaddup.

Let's just hurry up and finish this.

-OK, OK.

Nngh.

Ahh!

[splash]

-Watch where you're steppin', will ya?

-Heh, sorry about that.

-Huh?

-What's that thing?

Ugh!

-Pocha!

--[chuckling] Oops, forgot to mention the flyin' leeches.

Might want to keep an eye out for 'em.

-F-- f-- flying leeches?

Ahh!

-[chucklng] Yup!

They'll suck the life right outta ya,

quicker'n you can spit.

-Ugh.

[splash]

-Ahh!

Pocha!

Hang in there, I'm coming!

Aaugh!

[slapping]

-Nngh.

And I thought it was gonna be boring!

Man, this taijutsu training really keeps you on your toes!

[labored breathing]

-Hoo!

That was a good work-out!

-Are we done yet?

Thought I was gonna die.

-All righty!

Ready for the next?

-Huh?

-What do we do with it?

-I need you spread it out in that field over there.

-Nngh.

What's this training for?

-Man, this stuff is heavy and it stinks!

-This definitely isn't according to plan.

-Guh!

-Augh!

-You guys look a little beat.

What's the matter?

Can't you eve walk in a straight line?

--[growling] Sure, but any idiot can do that!

We're trying to practice our dodging

and weaving to avoid enemy fire!

-Oh, evasive action!

I get it.

Uh, is this the idea?

Whoa, you're right!

It's a lot harder to carry when you dodge and weave.

-Aw, what a jerk!

-Man, it's great how you guys can turn the simplest

thing into a training exercise!

It's really impressive!

-Hey!

You wanna watch where you're swingin' that thing?

-Huh?

What thing?

-Ahhh!

[splat]

-Ahhhhh!

[water flowing]

-Nngh.

[splash]

-Ahh.

-This is a nightmare!

-Hey, look.

What do you say we just lose this kid and get on with it?

--[sniffing] No offense, but I think you missed a spot.

-Just shut up!

-Who asked you?

-Gai-sensei, Lee!

There you are!

-Sakura!

Hi!

-Oh, Naruto.

What are you doing here?

-Well, you see.

These guys are teaching me all their ultra

top-secret techniques by letting me train with them!

-Really?

-So, is there something you need us for?

-Oh, uh, no.

Not you.

But you two-- there's something I really need your help with!

-Huh?

-What?

You lost your laundry?

-Not lost, exactly.

The wind caught it and blew it way up there.

-Sorry.

Love to help, but right now we're

really busy with all our training.

-Please?

You're the only ones I can trust!

Can't you think of it as training?

Please!

I love that laundry.

-Nngh.

-I don't know what all the big fuss is about,

but if it's really that important,

I can get it for you, Sakura.

[boff]

-Ugh!

-You'll do it for me, right, Gai-sensei?

Right?

-Right!

-It-- it sure is high.

And steep!

A straight fall to the bottom!

-Exactly!

One false step and forget it.

-Huh?

Forget what?

-Ahhh!

-There!

Up there.

See it?

[wind blowing]

-I think we'll take a pass.

-Yeah, right!

Good one!

With your chakra control, Gai-sensei,

going up that cliff's just like a walk in the park!

-He's amazing, isn't he?

I've always felt we're so lucky having

an awesome ninja like you around.

-Oh, well-- [laughing nervously]

-Well, ready to go?

-Uhh.

-Oh brother.

[wind rushing]

-I don't believe it!

How did we get into this?

-We're gonna die!

We're gonna die!

-Ahhh!

-Is there something I'm missing here?

How come you guys are doing it that way?

Why don't you use your chakra?

-Argh, because that'd be cheating, you numbskull!

We're building up our physical strength!

-So that's your plan!

Man, you guys never do anything the easy way, do ya?

Always pushing yourself to the limit!

I'm really learning a lot training with you, sensei!

-You believe this kid?

-We're gonna die.

-Up we go!

-Ahhh!

-Sorry about that!

Whoops!

Whoa, that was a close one!

-You can say that again!

[wind gusting]

-Nngh.

We made it!

-Aaugh!

-Don't look down, you idiot!

Now come on, let's grab this stupid thing

and get out of here!

Guh.

Come here.

Got it!

Ugh.

It's stuck.

-Well, what're you waiting for?

-Nngh.

[wind gusting]

-Hang on!

-You hang on!

-Hyah!

-Nngh!

-What're you doing?

Use your chakra control!

-Chakra schmakra!

-Ack!

I gotcha!

-Uh oh.

-Whoa!

-Ahhh!

Bushy Brow!

Gai-sensei!

-Ahhh!

[thud]

-I've had it.

-Sensei!

Bushy Brow!

-Huh?

-That was totally awesome!

And without even using your chakra!

I'm completely blown away.

-So were we.

-Ah, there you are!

Perfect.

-Huh?

-It's Grandma Tsunade!

-I've been looking for you two.

I need your help.

-Nngh!

-It's my dear friend.

She hasn't been feeling very well.

-You want us to what?

-You see, she's caught a cold or something.

-Your friend's one heck of a big slug!

She's kinda like Pervy Sage's big toad, Right

-Yeah.

Something like that. [clearing throat] Anyway,

I want you two to look after her until I can move her.

I know how sensitive and caring you can be.

-I'm sorry to be so much trouble.

[earth-shaking coughing]

-Whoa!

-Aaugh!

-Forget it!

This is where I draw the line.

-But if we give up now, we'll never

be able to steal their secrets!

-Yeah, you're right.

-What is this?

-Huh?

What the devil are you grumbling about?

[click]

[earth crumbling]

-Auugh!

-I don't believe it.

Are you two seriously considering

disobeying the orders of your hogake?

MALE SPEAKERS: That's the hokage?

[splash]

-Oh, man!

I never thought the hokage would be so scary!

-Listen, we're taking care of her precious

and dear friend, right?

It's a perfect way to gain her trust.

Then we can steal her secrets!

-I dunno.

-So even summoning animals get sick too, don't they?

GIANT SLUG: Itchy nose, scratchy throat, achy all over?

Yes, it's just a very light cold.

-A cold towel on your forehead oughta bring the fever down!

-Thank you so much!

-OK, hold it steady now.

-Ah-- ah-- sorry, I'm gonna have to--

[earth rumbling]

-Ahh!

-Achoo!

-Oh boy!

[splash]

-Nnngh!

-Ahhh!

-What is it, acid?

-Hey, watch where you're blowin' that stuff, will ya?

-I'm so sorry, but I couldn't help myself.

Ah-- ah-- achoo!

-Ahhh!

-Achoo!

-Aaugh!

-Gai-sensei, what's wrong with you?

Why don't you get out of that snot storm

before you're burnt to a crisp?

-Oh, shut up, you little squirt!

It's all part of the training.

We're just, uh, working on our reflexes

and keeping calm under fire!

-Ah!

I should have known!

Everything's part of their training,

even something like this!

Look at Bushy Brow!

Even with his butt on fire, he's still training!

And I thought I was tough.

[slap]

-Now I get it!

All right, Gai-sensei!

Don't worry, I'm on guard, I'm with ya!

OK, hit me with your best snot!

-Oh dear!

I have such an aching in my joints,

and a splitting headache.

-What the-- What do you mean, joints?

Slugs don't have joints!

-Ahhh!

-Hey, hey, watch where you're going!

[thud]

-Ahhh!

-This village is hell.

We're in hell.

I don't think I'll survive another minute in this place.

Ugh.

-I say we quit.

-Yeah, fine.

Nngh.

-Huh?

-Explain yourself!

Who are you?

-And why are you dressed like my protege, Rock Lee?

-OK, that does it!

I'm sick of this game!

-Ahhh!

Super Mega Extra Hyper Attack!

-I have no idea what this is, but I

think we are under attack!

-So it would appear.

Are ya ready, Lee?

-Our new technique?

BOTH: Double Dynamic Entry!

[thud]

-I've forgotten.

Why did we ever do this in the first place, I wonder?

-If I never see the Leaf Village again--

BOTH: It'll be too soon!

[ting]

-Look, fireworks!

-I don't know where they came from or what they were after,

but I doubt we'll see them again anytime soon.

-You certainly seemed to be enjoying yourself.

You even summoned Katsuyu.

-Hmm.

Well, it wasn't just me.

It was a team effort, wasn't it?

-Well, now that all the fun and games are over,

you should really be getting back to work.

-[sighing] Yes, ma'am.

-I wonder.

Do you think Naruto really fell for them?

-Naw, no one could be that dumb.

Not even him.

-What was all about?

Very peculiar!

-Very!

-Hey!

-Naruto!

Did you see those two imposters?

-There you are!

So you're both all right?

I thought I lost you!

-Hmm?

Gai-sensei, I gotta admit, I used

to think you were kind of a lightweight,

but now I take it all back!

-The way you always push yourselves to the limit

and never let up?

I think I'm ready for that kind of commitment.

I want to continue my training!

-What training is that?

-Yeah, good one!

So when do we get to the taijutsu and all that?

-Uhhh.

-Huh?

CROW: Moron!

Moron Moron!

[theme music] see

[theme music] see

NARUTO: Ghost hunting?

That's no job for a ninja!

Besides, ghosts don't even exist!

SAKURA: Stop complaining!

A mission is a mission!

NARUTO: The ghost of some dead warlord!

Yeah, right!

Gimme a break.

SAKURA: They say he appears in the dead of night,

wearing his gleaming white armor!

NARUTO: Ooh, scary!

That's so stupid!

SAKURA: Naruto!

Behind you!

NARUTO: What, where?

SAKURA: Ha ha!

So it's stupid, huh?

NARUTO: Next time, "The Cursed Warrior!"
