Original subtitles

This is so annoying.

Orochimaru gets away when he was almost within our grasp,

and the Akatsuki's movements are as suspicious as ever.

There's been no good news at all, lately! Isn't there

anything fun going on in the world?

Well, your tea's ready now, at least.

Oh, that's right, I forgot to tell you: Konohamaru came

into the hospital yesterday.

Yeah? And what's so fun about that?

He had to come in because his hands had become

terribly bruised from his own chakra.

It seems that Naruto is teaching him how

to do the Rasengan.

Oh?

How interesting...

What's your pick?

Uh?

Your bet! Will he master it or not?

Lady Tsunade!

Oh, come on, loosen up!

It's just a little fun!

Hold it with a, "guh" and...

Boom!

Yeah! Yeah, you did it!

Yeah! [chuckle] Yeah!

I did it! Yeah!

That was totally awesome, Konohamaru.

Well, I can't just sit around here doing nothing!

We gotta go find Big Brother Naruto and tell him!

Uh, actually, speaking of Naruto...

We haven't seen him around at all lately.

But I heard that he'd returned to the village just

a little while ago.

I heard rumors...

People are saying his last mission didn't go very well.

What? Really?

If it's true...

Maybe we shouldn't bother him right now, Konohamaru.

Hey, where are you going?

No worries!

I know Big Brother Naruto, and, trust me, he isn't

gonna be like that.

Kakashi Sensei, have you seen Naruto anywhere?

Yeah, he's over there.

Oh! Hey, Guys!

I guess you were right. He's way happier than I thought.

See? I told you so!

Sorry I didn't come around to see you guys. Lots of

stuff happened since last time.

Yeah, we heard about it.

You weren't able to catch the spy, huh?

Yeah. But as it turns out, there was something even

bigger that was lying in wait for us.

Wait, do you mean, Orochimaru?!

[shocked gasp]

[chuckle]

We found one of his hideouts, and

we also found Sasuke.

But...

I wasn't strong enough to bring him back.

So now, I have no choice but to get stronger!

Is that why you're training so hard right now?

Yeah!

And I'm just about to move on to the next step, too.

Next time, with my Wind Chakra...

I'll be able to beat Sasuke!

So awesome!

How cool, Big bro Naruto!

And that is exactly why you're my rival!

So, how's your training, Konohamaru?

[chuckle]

Just check this out!

Here I go!

Hold it in, "guh" it and then...

Boom!

What in the world's going on, Kakashi Sensei?!

Uh, I don't know..

So how was that, huh?!

Uh, it was good...

Hey, what's the deal?! I can hear doubt in your voice!

I know that I did it properly!

You did it just fine, but...

Why are you bothering to use a Sexy Jutsu for this, anyway?

I'm doing what you taught me and maintaining the highest

level of sexiness I can.

What else?!

Sexiness?

The sensation of rotating chakra can only be learned

by feeling it in your body.

And I already talked to you about the importance of

perseverance and stuff like that, right?

I didn't understand one bit.

Just explain it in simple terms! Ugh, I feel like I

spent all this time polishing this skill for nothing!

Take it easy!

It all turned out okay, right?

Ugh! Never mind! Look, can I just move on to

the next step, already?

Hm. You've now made it to the final leg

of this training!

All right, for the third step...

You'll use this.

Wait just a minute!

What's wrong now?! Just listen, okay?!

It's just, I can't do Shadow Clones.

Damn it! Well, all right, then.

We'll do Shadow Clones first.

Now pay close attention. I'll show you how it's done.

You haveta go " Hooah!" with your body.

Just like that!

Okay? Think you got it?

Not again! Another non explanation, explanation...

You have to master this in order to continue the

training for the Rasengan.

Do your best, Konohamaru! See ya!

I wouldn't take it easy if I were you, Big Brother!

What's that mean?

The two of us are rivals, and now we're both working

really hard on mastering a new jutsu.

I wonder which one of us will be able to

master theirs first?

So I challenge you!

Sounds like fun. I accept your challenge!

Let's see who's first!

Okay, then! Great!

Let's go, Moegi, Udon!

All right! I'm not gonna lose to Big Brother!

Go for it, Konohamaru!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Didn't work.

What I need is more chakra.

[power yell]

Right!

Come on, let's try again!

All right!

Hmph!

[power yell]

[power yell]

Aw, come on!

[power yell]

What's happening?!

[scream] Octopus tentacles?

Hup!

What do you say we call it a day?

No way, not yet! I just need a little break.

Konohamaru!

Poor Konohamaru...

He fell asleep!

Coming!

Oh! What's up?

Big Sis Sakura. We heard that you were making food

pills for Big Brother Naruto, and we

wanted to come by.

Please!

Can you please teach us the recipe?

[chuckle]

Sure!

-Great! -All right!

I was just making some, in fact.

If you help, you can have some.

-Cool! -Yeah!

Okay, just start mashing everything up!

Okay!

I hear Konohamaru's been busy training hard.

That's right! He's determined to beat Big

Brother Naruto!

He's been working so hard. Almost a little too hard!

Then he'll probably stay out there. Naruto's not going

home, either.

It's great that you wanna help him.

Yeah...

But...

Hm?

It's just...

I'm really proud of Konohamaru, but I feel uneasy, too.

Maybe more like anxious.

By chasing after Naruto, Konohamaru has been getting

farther away from the two of us.

Are you guys afraid of being left behind?

Huh?

I was like that at your age. I wanted to catch up, too.

And so I became Lady Tsunade's apprentice.

I'm sure you'll find what you need, too. Your

aspirations, your mentors, and your rivals!

Yeah!

Gross!

Don't give up now, Konohamaru!

Yeah, just suck it up!

All right! Here I go!

Alright, here we go! Hah!

I did it!

I did it! All right!

-So cool! -Nice one!

Congratulations!

You did it!

Yeah!

Yeah! [chuckle] Oh!

It disappeared?!

You're still having trouble sustaining them, huh?

Big Brother Naruto!

[giggle]

Don't tell me-!

Too bad, Konohamaru!

It looks like I win this time.

Aw, no way! I almost had it, too!

I won't lose the next time!

I swear, you'll be so surprised that you'll be speechless!

Okay, do your best! Well, I've gotta go. I'm moving on

to my next training.

[laugh]

I see.

Notify everyone else regarding the funeral services.

Damn Akatsuki...

I saw it...

Aghh!!

I saw what Big Bro Naruto is training to do.

He's working on an awesome jutsu, and it's

gonna be his alone!

Are you serious?!

Konohamaru. There you are...

Huh?

Wha-?

Asuma Sarutobi...

Asuma...

Uncle Asuma.... [whimper]

Huh?

I get it Big Brother Naruto has already

made up his mind.

But...

[gasp]

But I...

Hey, where are you going?

To train.

But Konohamaru...

If you're actually thinking about getting revenge.

I know!

I know it's impossible for me, right now.

But Big Brother Naruto is planning on going.

And he's probably gonna perfect his new

jutsu before then!

Hey! Wait up!

No matter what, I have to catch up to him!

Much obliged!

Thanks, Sensei!

Huh!?

Shadow clones, huh kid? It's about time...

Okay Naruto, it's on!

Sexy jutsu. Onanoko-tachi Jutsu!

Awgh man! That's your new move?!

I wasn't expecting a twosome!

You see? The sexiness paid off!

You can't simply rest on your laurels,

you know, Big Brother!

Maybe not. But still!

I'm the one who's in the lead for now!

But that's gonna change! I won't lose! [chuckle]

Then, if you're ready, I say that it's time for us to

start step three of learning the Rasengan!

Okay!

I don't get it. Why are they creating Shadow Clones? The

Rasengan is supposed to be done by only one person!

Well, Naruto is the teacher...

Then again, doesn't that make you happy, Lady Tsunade?

Hm?

I just mean it seems that you were right to bet on him

not being able to master it.

I wouldn't be so quick to pass judgment just yet.

Because the Rasengan is one damn hard jutsu to master.

You're right about that.

Well, Lord Fourth did invent it, after all.

Yes, and it was passed down to Jiraiya, and then to

Naruto, and now to Konohamaru.

Seems life is worth living, after all.

I wonder where it'll take us next.

I just hope we'll be around to see it!

The next generation, huh?

The passage of time certainly is interesting, isn't it?

You didn't forget anything, did you? You won't be home

for a while.

Don't worry. I'm all packed and ready to-- Agh!

Hey, come on, stop it!

Big Brother Naruto!

Huh?

Hey, Konohamaru! Did you come down here to see me off?

No, I came here to complain!

Huh?

How can you even consider leaving on a training

journey before I've mastered the Rasengan?!

Hey, it's your fault for taking too long!

Okay fine! I swear I'll have it under my belt by the time

you get back. I'll be really strong then, you'll see!

I'm gonna be really strong, too, you know! Huh?

Uh, by the way, I actually have a little favor to ask.

What's up?

This is going to be a really long trip, so I wanna

entrust that "one thing" to you while I'm gone.

Hey, wait! Do you mean your treasure, Big Brother?!

Shh!

How long you going to stand around gabbing?!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm coming!

Okay. You got it, Konohamaru?

Don't worry, I'm on it, Naruto!

Got it!

[chuckle] Now, I'll take this home and- No...

Maybe I should--

I wonder how Big Brother is doing right now.

He's probably busy doing all kinds of cool training with

his Shadow Clones.

That's always a possibility with Big Brother!

I have to hurry up and perfect my Rasengan, too!

What's that?!

[gasp]

I think that someone's attacking the village!

Udon! Moegi!

We gotta go back right now!

Everyone!

Quick, get to the evacuation shelter!

Seems you've gotten too used to having your own way.

Well, that ends right here!

I have no mercy for thugs like you!

Ebisu Sensei!

Go. Get out of here, Konohamaru!

Naruto...

From now on... We're rivals!

Challenge accepted, and one day we'll fight for the

title of Hokage!

Until then, let's both look forward to that day, Konohamaru.

Die.

Long ago...

I made a solemn promise.

Huh?!

So I'm not choosing an escape route!

Because Naruto won't be on that shorter path!

I'm a Genin, honored with the name of this village! My

surname is Sarutobi, and my given name is Konohamaru!

You will remember me!

[cheering]

I heard what you did, Konohamaru. You took down

one of the Pains all by yourself, huh?

Well, I wasn't so determined to catch up to you just for

fun and giggles, you know!

But still, that was nothing at all compared to how you

were able to save the whole village.

No, that isn't true!

Besides, there were still a whole lot of things

that I couldn't protect.

Hey, Big Brother.

Oh! Hold on! There's something I really wanna

show you! [chuckle]

Hey, what-!

Where are we going?!

Just follow me!

We're here!

The evacuation shelter?!

We just have a little farther to go now...

The valuables warehouse?

This is my family's storage space.

[chuckle]

Tadah!

This is... it's my jacket.

It's a precious treasure, right?

I thought I should bring it here just in case. You see?

I kept my promise to you, Naruto!

Wow, Konohamaru.

Thank you! You really are a great kid!

I know! But thank you.

But one of these days, I'm still gonna be challenging

you for the title of Hokage!

So don't forget!

I am and always will be your rival!

Yeah!

I can feel it clearly, even from here. The other half of

Super Gramps' power.

You can't possibly take me down. I've essentially

become immortal now. I've obtained eternity.

You idiot. I'm not the one who's gonna be taking you

down. We are the ones who're gonna take you down.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "To Rise Up"

Your time has come, Madara.
