Original subtitles

(Hokage) Iruka.

(Iruka) What is it Lord Hokage?

[growls]

(Hokage) I know how you feel.

You grew up just like Naruto, without knowing the love of a mother and father.

Hmm?

Now who could that be at this hour?

(Iruka) Mizuki Sensei?!

What? What is it?

You need to come to Lord Hokage's.

It's Naruto! It seems he's pulled a prank and stole the sacred scroll!

No!

It's been over half a day since the Scroll of Sealing was taken. Bring Naruto here at once!

Naruto!

You've gotta hurry up and give the scroll to me!

Mizuki's coming to take it!

[grunts]

[grunting]

[groaning]

It can't be. Naruto?

How'd you know I wasn't Iruka?!

[laughs]

Because I'm Iruka.

Uh!

Naruto's one of a kind. Works hard, puts his whole heart into it.

Sure, he messes up sometimes, and everyone jumps on him.

But his suffering only makes him stronger.

(Iruka) So you're wrong, he's nothing like the Nine-Tailed Fox.

He's Naruto Uzumaki of the Village Hidden in the Leaves!

A dream?

(Konohamaru) Huh?!

What's this all about, anyway, Iruka Sensei?

Do you remember that congratulatory message that you recorded me delivering before?

Huh? Oh yeah. You mean that boring message without style or enthusiasm?

C'mon, now, don't say that! Can't you just use that one for your video?

But you told me that you wanted to redo it.

So I've been waiting around this whole time for you to come up with something else!

I'm sorry about that.

But the more I think about it, the less sure I am about what I should say to Naruto.

But you held out for so long, and now you're the only one who hasn't finished theirs!

Look, don't over-think it.

Just make up your mind and send him a cool, heartfelt message, okay?!

Please forgive me. Tell you what, I'll treat to you some ramen next time, okay?

Hey! Tsukune, Sansho, Mibuna!

(Iruka) You messed around with the Third Hokage's statue again, didn't you?!

I can't believe it's almost here! Naruto's wedding is next week!

So, Iruka, are you going to give a congratulatory speech?

Uh. Oh no. That's Lord Hokage's job! I'm pretty sure he's gonna be taking care of that.

(Ayame) Hey, Iruka!

Huh? Oh, Ayame!

Is something the matter? You haven't been around much at all lately.

Oh, I just wanted to hold off until I figured out what to say...

for the message that Konohamaru asked me to record.

I'm trying to practice some self-restraint.

Oh! So did you get your message all finished up, then?

Uh, well, uh.

I'll stop by again in just a little while. Please say hello to your dad for me!

(Kid) Oh, come on! That's too easy!

All right, can you jump this far?!

[leaping yell]

[grunts]

Ha! I knew it! Oh, boy.

(Kid) Shut up! I still beat you at fence jumping!

(Naruto) It's all thanks to you, Iruka Sensei.

That night, you acknowledged me. Do you remember?

It was the first time ever!

And that's the reason why I'm here today.

(Naruto) Your words changed me.

Naruto was able to express his feelings so clearly and directly to me. What am I doing?

[grunting]

[groans] I really shouldn't do things I don't know how to do!

Hmm?

Yes?

Oh!

(Iruka) Naruto?!

Uh, hey there, Iruka Sensei.

Um, is something the matter?

No, it's nothing. It's just, um.

Well, I was just thinking about you.

And so I thought that I'd stop by here to you know, see if you were still alive!

What the hell does that mean?

The thing is, I'm gonna be getting married soon, and with you still being single...

and all, I was worried about you being alone. Anyway, I'm gonna come on in!

Hey, wait! I'm in the middle of...

What happened here?!

It's really nothing at all, just some stuff.

But more importantly, what about you? What's going on?

Oh, uh, well, uh.

Oh yeah! Ramen! Do you want to go and get some ramen with me?

Some ramen? Actually, I was just in the middle of making dinner right now.

Oh, that explains this crime scene.

Uh, yeah.

You really should hurry up and find someone to get married to, Iruka Sensei!

Oh, shut up! What about you? Should you be neglecting Hinata right now?

What are you talking about, "neglecting?"

Besides we aren't even married yet, so don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it?

You heard me! My single days are numbered! I gotta have all the fun I can till...

You stupid fool!

Are you kidding?! Do you even have a clue about exactly how hard...

Hinata has been working to prepare for your wedding?!

Hey, what's the matter, Iruka Sensei?

Hmm. It seems there are a lot of things I failed to teach you...

about how to be a good human being!

I take full responsibility for that!

Come with me! I'm gonna knock some sense into you!

(Naruto) Where are we going, Iruka Sensei?!

(Iruka) To Hinata's!

(Iruka) I'm gonna have to apologize to her for raising you...

as such a thoughtless, inconsiderate man.

C'mon stop! Please, if Hinata's around I can't tell you what I wanted to say!

What exactly did you wanna say?

That's why I thought that you and I could have some ramen, and then, while we're still out...

you could maybe have a drink or two and we could have a nice conversation and...

you know, have a little fun!

(Iruka) Enough.

[sighs]

I guess that I didn't need to spend as much time as I did mulling it all over.

Thinking what to say and how to congratulate you.

I have a favor to ask.

A favor?

Do you think that you might be willing to take on the role of my father at the wedding?

Naruto?

(Iruka) Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?!

You can leave it to me!

[happy chuckle] Iruka Sensei!

Thank you.

Come on, what are you talking about, Naruto? That's my line! Thank you!

[chuckles]

Okay, that's enough of that! I'll see you later, Iruka Sensei!

All right!

[choked up crying]

Hey, good evening!

Oh, hi!

Hey, there!

Welcome back!

So, what's going on?

Are you wrestling with some kind of problem again?

Huh? Oh, no.

I was just thinking about how truly glad I am that I chose the profession I did.

Oh, I see! Well, what can I get for you today?

Uh. A large miso char siu ramen topped with naruto fishcake, please.

(Teuchi) One large miso char siu ramen!

(Ayame) You got it! Coming right up!

(Iruka) Hinata!

Huh? Iruka Sensei!

How are all of the preparations coming along?

They're good! Now, we just have to wait for the big day.

Well, I'm very glad to hear that! Anyway, I have something to say.

I'll just dive in. It's about the wedding ceremony.

Oh, you've accepted Naruto's request to attend as his father, haven't you?

So you already knew about that, huh? Yeah, of course you would! [laughing]

I think it's something that's been on Naruto's mind for a long time, now.

There's no doubt that you're Naruto's teacher, Iruka Sensei.

But he didn't really think of your bond as just a...

student-teacher or mentor relationship.

[taken aback]

(Iruka) Thing is...

I kinda feel like this shouldn't be coming from the point of view of a teacher to his student.

Naruto was thinking the same thing as I was!

And so his answer to what he was thinking was to ask me to attend as his father, huh?

That's right. I hope that you'll continue to support him just as you always have, Father!

[gasps]

Uh, yes, of course!

[chuckles] But it's kinda embarrassing to be asked so formally!

[giggles]

Anyway.

I don't get it. What is this?

It isn't very much, but please put it toward the cost of the wedding.

What?!

Naruto asked me to stand in as his father, so I have to!

If I tried to give it to him, he wouldn't take it.

I'm not going to take it either! Listen, please! Don't worry about that!

Oh. I see.

Guess I don't have much of a choice...

but to accept your answer and wait for the big day to arrive.

I wish that I could've done something fatherly to help you out more, though.

[giggles]

Uh! What is it?!

[giggling] With that expression on your face, you look just like my father!

So in a way, you are acting like the father of the groom.

Really? You think so?

[laughing]

(Konohamaru) Three, two...

One! And we're rolling!

Naruto, Hinata, congrats on your wedding day!

Naruto.

[chuckles]

What's the matter now, Iruka Sensei? You at a loss for words again or something?

No, sorry, sorry. Don't worry, I'll do it right, I promise!

Can I start over again, just one more time?

[weary sigh]

Naruto and Hinata! Congratulations on your wedding!

Please create a home that is as bright as the morning sun!

May you always be happy!

Cheers!

Congratulations!

Do your best!

Don't eat too many tasty homemade meals!

Congratulations.

Yeah, congrats!

Congratulations to you both, Mr. Naruto and Miss Hinata!

Congratulations on getting married!

Stop by once in a while for ramen, okay?

Congratulations, you two.

Congratulations!

Naruto, Miss Hinata, a lot's happened, but congratulations.

Big Brother Naruto, you did it! And I'll do my best, too!

Naruto Uzumaki, congratulations.

Dear Naruto, do your best.

Yeah!

Naruto, Hinata, congratulations on your wedding!

Be there for each other, and may you have everlasting happiness!

Naruto! Hinata! Congrats on your wedding!

Hinata, as you know, Naruto's absentminded and reckless. He's gonna need all your support.

So I ask of you: please take good care of him!

Naruto, I just have this to say.

You'd better do everything to make Hinata happy!

[mild chuckle]

That was great! I'd even say it was perfect, Iruka Sensei!

[relieved sigh] It went off without a hitch, huh?

Great.

Could you get the receiving desk set up, too?

Lord Kakashi!

[groans] Like I said about a hundred times, drop the "lord" part.

The Lords Kage have just arrived in the Village.

Huh? They're here already?!

Shall I escort them in, then?

Yes. It's rude to keep them waiting.

Hmm? Hey, Kazekage entourage!

We're here from the land of Lightning, delivering our wedding blessings.

Let's forget the past and all be friends till the last!

Yes, of course! I don't feel like fighting like little brats anymore.

Yo, now direct your eyes, see my gift and be surprised. Even the couple will be rapturized!

(Raikage) Enough!

[grunts]

(Shizune) The reception desk is now open. Please come and sign the guest book...

Hey, where's Temari run off to?

I haven't seen her since we got here.

Between you and me, how much are you giving them, Ebisu Sensei?

Well, etiquette says that working adults are supposed to give about.

Huh?!

You can give that little? Man, I put five bills in my envelope.

What?! Did you say you put five in?!

Oh, no! I'll lose face as a teacher!

Oh, this is the gift table! Hold on a second. Here's our gift!

No, dad, not that one!

Oh, yeah. Good catch. This one!

Oh, seriously!

Now listen up, Lee! When we honor people, we hone our mind and spirit.

That's what a wedding celebration is for!

What you are saying is to never forget to train, even when at a party!

[grunts] Naturally!

Look, people are starting to stare, so will you cut it out already?!

We'll start with dumbbell juggling!

Yes, Guy Sensei!

Hah!

What a day! What a joyous day this is!

This training especially so!

You have way too much joy in your heads!

(Kurenai) So? Did you get ahold of the honey wine?

(Kiba) Of course!

And we're gonna tell Naruto all about the history of the Senju Clan along with this!

Are you really well versed enough in their history to be able to do that?

Huh?! Well, kinda. I, uh...

I'll tell you what, why don't you run it by me first?

Oh, uh, thanks, but...

(Mirai) Giddy up!

Run! Go!

What are you doing, Mirai?

I'm playing horsey-back!

Akamaru is a dog. You can't ride a dog and call it horsey-back riding.

Then I'm doggie-back riding!

That's true, it is doggie-back riding. But Akamaru looks a little tired now.

So why don't you just come on down from there? The reason is...

No! Wanna ride!

I guess there's no choice.

We'll go Shino-back riding, then.

That seems new to me. Was Shino always this good with the little kids?

He seems to think that he might be suited to teaching in the future.

Just what are you smiling about?

What? Who ever said that I was smiling?

Yeah, whatever.

I know what the deal about weddings is.

Men go to them to meet single friends of the bride, isn't that right?

That's not it! Man, this is such a drag. Come on, let's go over there.

[gasps] So sweet!

It's definitely going to be sweet.

How long has that been going on? When did those two get together?!

Just who do you mean?

Shikamaru and Temari.

Did you know they were like that?

M-hm.

Anyway, you know that everyone's probably thinking the same thing about us right now.

[sighs]

[gasps]

[gasps]

Sasuke.

Hey, what's the matter, Iruka Sensei? Is there something that's still worrying you?

Well.

It'll all be fine.

Thanks to you we have enough shinobi to cover guard duty and anything else we might need.

Oh no, all of that was really your doing, Kakashi.

[chuckles] No, I hardly did anything at all.

Maybe I managed to help things along a little.

(Kakashi) But it's really all thanks to the bonds that Naruto forged.

Everyone's here today, all because of Naruto.

I'm sure that he's going to make Hinata very happy.

So what exactly are you worried about?

Well, I never really got around to preparing my toast for the reception.

Huh?! [laughing]

Big Brother Neji. I'm about to get married.

(Hanabi) Elder Sister! It's time!

Right!

Wow! You look so beautiful!

Don't you think so, Father?

Okay, are you ready?
