Press down hard on the gas

That’s right, there’s no compromise

We'll slip through the night

At the final moment push hard

That's right, all the way to zero,

Until we wipe away the days

Gently open your heart

If you pull it close to you

It will reach you, without a doubt

It will come, closer

Now

We’re speeding through life, squeezing it for all of its worth

Our feet are tied

But we still keep going farther

Even if I take it back, and grasp it

If you’re not the one

There will be no meaning

And so we’ll go far off into the distance.

Tenten vs. Temari

The fifth battle…

Tenten, Temari…come forward!

Seeing that made me all fired up, too!

Now…The second one from the Land of Sand, huh…

Do your best!

– Tenten! – It looks like it's going to be interesting.

Begin!

Killer Kunoichi and a Shaky Shikamaru

Go for it, Tenten!

Believe in your own strength, Tenten!

We’re behind you, Tenten!

Knock her with all your strength!

That’s good!

Cheer her on more, more, more with passion, Lee!

Yeah!

These guys are noisy!

That spacing is just what I’d expect from Tenten,

not too close, not too far.

Attacks or defense, she can respond to either one.

What happened?

Please begin.

Are you planning to wait out and see how I make my move?

Let me just tell you,

once I start my attack you’ll be over in a second.

You’re trying to be cool and see what I do first…

A hundred years too early!

It doesn’t matter to me, come first.

You said it…

Well, I won’t hold back.

They missed?

That’s impossible!

What happened? ls that a warm-up?

Or are you scared and your aim is off?

I thought I would enjoy it a little bit more,

but evidently it’s not promising.

No way!

I can’t believe Tenten’s attack missed!

It’s unbelievable indeed.

Tenten’s weapons...

always hits the mark ten out of ten times.

There no reason for them to miss.

That’s right... She didn’t miss.

She was made to miss.

As always, she’s being disagreeable.

How foolish…

How disgraceful!

Huh?

Sand wins again.

We don’t know that yet.

We know.

How? How do we know?

Explain it so I understand!

Stupid... As if I'd do such a bothersome thing.

Shikamaru said it so, surely that’s how it is.

These guys are hard to understand.

Calm down…

Don’t let her get to you…

One.

Two.

Three…

If it’s gonna get dodged,

I just have to make it impossible to!

So she’s measuring the spacing, next one is going to be the big attack.

I get it…

So, that fan is the secret.

If so…

How about…this?!

No way!

My flying weapons!

Is there a secret mechanism in the fan…?

This is…

the first star.

There are two more.

When the third star appears,

you will lose.

Tenten!

Don’t be taken in by your opponent, be calm!

Be calm!

I know…

Lee, I really intended to use this in the main battle,

not the preliminary round--

but it looks like I can’t do it that way.

She’s already going to use it?

Pulling out two scrolls?

What does she intend to do?

Hah! No matter what you do, it won’t work.

Rising Twin Dragons!

Even if you increase the amount, it’s still the same!

Second star!

I’m not done yet!

Did I do it?

Third star.

She disappeared!

Where is she?

I’m over here!

Darn--!

Ninja Art!

Wind Scythe Jutsu!

Tenten!

Chakra is enfolded in that wind.

Huh?!

Tenten fought well…

But she won’t be able to escape from that twister.

T-That’s awful.

Tenten…!

How boring... really.

To think she completely intercepted Tenten’s weapon attacks.

This is ridiculous!

What’s going on with her…?

It’s just like Shikamaru said, it’s the Sand’s win.

That’s why I said it.

There’s no reason for us to lose here.

The Land of Sand is to be feared…

Temari wins the fifth battle.

Oh no!

Nice catch.

What are you doing?!

Is that something you do to an opponent who fought to the utmost?!

You’re annoying!

Take that trash away already!

Stop! Lee!

Leaf Hurricane!

What?!

You’re just like you look…

You’re dull too.

What did you say?!

Stop! Lee!

Guy Sensei!

Temari.

Come up quick, you’ve been declared the winner.

Don’t keep company with that awful-looking guy and his chaperone forever.

What…?!

That’s enough, Lee.

Gentlemen of Sand…

I wonder if I may give you a word of warning.

This kid is strong.

You should prepare yourselves.

Picking a fight with the Sand…

I absolutely wouldn't want to do it with those guys.

T-They’re all awesome guys…

Don’t lose to those guys!

Naruto!

S-Sakura.

Sakura… Are you okay already?

Never mind that, you should worry about yourself!

Huh? Me? I don’t have an injury or anything.

That’s not what I mean.

If you lose here, it’s a point of dishonor.

You’d be ashamed to face Sasuke!

Y- Yeah.

And…

Thanks for earlier…

No!

Sakura!

You did your hardest to get here!

You’ll disgrace women if you lose to that Sasuke-obsessed girl!

If it weren’t for your stupid cheering at that time…

I would have been soundly beaten by Ino.

Yeah, that's right.

Y-You!

Okay, hurry hurry! Me next!

Next! Next is my turn!

Shikamaru Nara vs. Tsuchi Kin

Darn!

It’s me.

Shikamaru, don’t lose!

– Show us that you’re a real man! – All right, all right.

Get her with the 16 combo, go!

– Win Shikamaru! – Ino’s become super energetic.

You go for it!

That guy manipulates shadows.

Be careful of the shadows…

I won’t be beaten by a stupid technique like that.

Shikamaru!

Bash that one around! And while you're at it...

Man, what a pain.

Furthermore, my opponent is a woman… lt's hard to get to it.

If that’s what you think, I’ll end this quickly.

Go, go! Shikamaru!

Well, you could say that I know these guys’ raw power

from that incident from the second test…

I don’t know anything about this one’s Jutsu.

On top of that, she’s seen my Jutsu…

– The sixth battle. – That being said, for me…

Shikamaru versus Kin!

Begin!

I can only do this.

One trick pony, huh…?

Shut up!

Ninja Art, Shadow Possession Jutsu!

That Jutsu!

It’s nothing if I just pay attention to the movement of your shadow!

Bells…?

Heh, that’s a classic.

Next, you’ll throw Senbons with bells

and Senbons without bells at the same time, right?

I’ll respond to the sound of the bells, intending to dodge them.

But I won't notice the quiet Senbons, and, ouch.

Is that right?

You’re a chatty guy!

So in order to not get caught by the shadow Senbons…

I'm alert to the trick and look closely…

What?!

Behind?!

String?

Darn it!

Too late!

Shikamaru!

He took that pretty bad.

It wasn’t tat bad, look closely.

Huh?

F-For the moment I dodged a fatal hit.

Now it’s my turn!

That’s not going to happen.

W-What’s this?

That happens to anyone who hears my bell.

The sound vibration of this special bell

reaches the brain directly from the ear drum.

And then it will make you hallucinate.

It’s useless!

You can’t avoid the sound of my bell by doing...

that... that... that... that... that...

Shoot! Which one? Which is the real one?

You can’t do anything, can you?

Your shadow, which was your faint hope, doesn’t even know where to stretch to…

Well… I’ll cook you slowly.

Taking me lightly…!

This time it’s five, next time seven…

I’ll continue until you become a hedgehog.

Y-You’re lying, you brat!

Huh?!

You’d end it soon…

That’s what you said in the beginning, isn’t it?

I see, you can’t endure the pain and want to be eased.

Well, I’ll finish it here.

It’s your death warrant.

W-What?!

M-My body…

At last, Shadow Possession Jutsu is a success.

W-What are you saying?

No way! Your shadow isn’t anywhere...

You don’t realize it yet?

I-It can’t be…

It's just that, you fool!

A thread at this height can’t have a shadow.

I can stretch and shrink my own shadow.

The shadow is gradually getting thicker.

This wasn’t the shadow of the thread…

That's right. I stretched my shadow and made it narrow,

so it looked like the shadow of a thread and stuck it on you.

But… How do you win with that?

I’m just gonna move the same way as you.

Annoying.

Be quiet and watch.

Stupid!

If you continue like this and attack…

You, too, will be wounded!

I know that.

No way! You're...!

We’re gonna throw shuriken at each other.

How far will we go…?

Fool, stop it!

You're only talk...

And that one's a goner.

If you’re a shinobi,

you have to grasp the situation and the layout when you battle.

Even though we made the same movements…

the distance of the walls behind each of us was different.

I just used the shuriken and

called attention away from the wall behind us.

Winner! Shikamaru Nara.

Good job Shikamaru!

Cool!

Me next…

Me next… Me next…!

That guy’s dull and plain, but that was kinda cool.

Shoot!

I’m the only one left.

And the next match.

The people left are one Sound ninja,

me, Hinata, Naruto, Choji, Neji and Lee.

And that Sand guy…

Just please spare me from that guy.

This year’s rookie looks quite challenging…

Naruto Uzumaki vs. Kiba Inuzuka

It’s here, it’s here, it’s here!

What we’ve been waiting for!

It’s finally my turn!

Yeah! Lucky us!

If it’s this guy we’ll absolutely win, Akamaru!

Yahoo!

– If I’m not next, Sakura will despise me... – I'm gonna do it!

– and call me Bushy Brow. – I'm gonna go for it!

– If I’m not next. Sakura will... – Just watch me! Yay!

This Lee kid, he’s just like Guy was in the past…

Do your best, Naruto.

Leave it to me.

Well Naruto, show us…

how much you’ve grown.

I’m going to do it!

Hey, can you hear it?

The clear, blue sky goes on and on

The ocean spans limitlessly

Please keep that smile on your face forever

Or else I’ll cry

You won't have to search around you

It’s all ok now.

Everyone is inside this hand

when you want to cry, and you want to run away

When you forget what happiness is

Just sing.

Light is born, and darkness was born

The two are one

Harmonia, feel the telepathy

Hey, can you hear it?

Darn that Kiba!

I hold back a little bit and he rides my brain.

Yap, yap, yap, yap, it’s annoying! Believe it!

Just quit talking tough, and use your dog or whatever, and come at me!

I don’t know what kind of training you’ve done,

but I’m the man who’s going to become Hokage.

You’re the one who’s going to get his butt kicked.

Next time: “Akamaru Unleashed! Who’s Top Dog Now?”

Don’t take me lightly!
