Fighting Dreamers don't care what people think about them

Fighting Dreamers follow what they believe

Oli Oli Oli Oh! Just go my way

Right here right now (Bang) Hit it straight like a line drive!

Right here right now (Burn)

Down a difficult road filled with endless struggles

Where do you think you are going following someone else's map?

An insightful crow comes along to tear up the map

Now open your eyes and take a look at the truth (Yeah!)

There's nothing to lose, so let's GO!!!

We are Fighting Dreamers aiming high

Fighting Dreamers don't care what people think about them

Fighting Dreamers follow what they believe

Oli Oli Oli Oh! Just go my way

Right here right now (Bang) Hit it straight like a line drive!

Right here right now (Burn) We're gonna do it and do our best!

Right here right now (Bang) Hit it straight like a line drive!

Right here right now (Burn) We're gonna do it and do our best! BANG!

– Good-bye, Sensei. – Yay! School's out!

Good-bye, Iruka Sensei!

Good-bye!

Make sure you practice what I taught you today, Transform Jutsu!

And tell your family about tomorrow’s inauguration for the Fifth Hokage!

– Okay! – Okay.

Konohamaru!

What is it, Iruka Sensei?

Well…it’s all right.

See you tomorrow!

Okay… Goodbye, Iruka Sensei!

It looks like he got over it.

Hey, Lee!

On your way back from rehabilitation?

Um…yes…

I hope you get better soon.

Thank you very much.

To activate each and every cell all at once…

If it were just one by one, it’d be a snap,

but all of them together is gonna be tough.

Still…

The Leaf Village is in great trouble right now,

so we must do our best!

I think if you had Lady Tsunade take a look, you'd get better very quickly.

It's better that you give up being a Shinobi and look for a different path.

Sensei and Student: The Bond of the Shinobi

Clone Jutsu!

Transformation Jutsu!

Hey, young kid…

The medal of youth is one of passion, with no looking back!

If you work hard at it,

I’m telling you, son, you will become a fine Shinobi! Yay!

Who is he? He is pretty overbearing.

Son, be ambitious! Bloom of Youth…

Well then, adieu.

That was the first time I met Guy Sensei.

And then…

Today, you have all become Genin.

I want to hear what your goals are for the future.

I don’t want to answer.

I-I…!

I'd like to prove that I could become a splendid Ninja,

even though I can’t use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu!

That would be the ultimate for me!

Those are good serious eyes…

You! What's so funny?!

I'm serious!

I will become a respectable Ninja even only with Taijutsu!

Don’t you realize that if you can’t use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu,

you’re not a Ninja in the first place?

Don’t you remember being told that you’re the first person

to graduate from the academy who’s only able to use Taijutsu ?

It’s not because you’re so good; it’s just that you’re unusual.

W-Why--!

Listen up! If you have passion, it’s not necessarily so.

If you act with passion,

compete with good rivals and lift each other up,

you can all become great Ninja!

But you know, you have to work hard!

Passion…

I…was inspired by Guy Sensei.

By his words…and his deeds.

You’re late! 17 minutes and 32 seconds late!

Let’s not do it today, all right?

Each of us has 48 wins!

With a win today, one of us will pull ahead!

I guess you won't give up even if I say I wouldn’t want to do it.

It’s my turn to choose the event, right?

Right! What’s it gonna be?

A Taijutsu battle? A 100-meter dash?

Holding our breath under water?

I don’t care, we could even have an eating contest…

Please…

Okay, then…

Wh-What?!

Rock, paper, scissors!

Rock, paper, scissors? That’s what you choose?

They say that your luck is one part of your skill, don’t they?

Plus, it’s a great competition for testing your observational reflexes…

R-Right.

Do you get the feeling Kakashi’s just playing around with Guy

‘cuz he can't be bothered?

That’s what it looks like to me.

I accept the battle. There’s no way I’m gonna lose!

If I do, I’ll walk around the Leaf Village 500 times on my hands!

There you go again…

I promise!

Here we go…

Another one of your special, self-imposed rules.

He can’t do that.

That’s ridiculous. He’s acting like a kid.

Yeah, that’s impossible, even for Guy Sensei.

Impossible? Reckless, I’d say!

– Rock, paper…! – Rock, paper…!

Here you are.

Guy Sensei?

How did you know I was here?

I know everything about you.

I heard that you skipped out on rehabilitation these past two days?

You can’t be doing that!

When I first became Genin…

this is where I revealed my dream, my aspiration.

Neji laughed at me then, but I meant what I said.

I'd like to prove that I could become a splendid Ninja

even though I can't use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu!

That would be the ultimate for me!

At that time, you told me…

If you act with passion, compete with rivals,

you can become a fine Ninja.

And that…

In order to do that, it’d take “effort.”

I was happy to hear that.

– Transform! – Transform!

Because while at the academy…

no one, not one friend or teacher, said that kind of thing to me.

You put me at ease…

You opened up a path just when I was unsure of myself.

I realized all I had to do was try my best.

And when I complained that

all my efforts couldn’t match the others’ natural talents,

you told me that I had a natural talent for effort.

That was when I learned the importance of believing in my own strength.

The chance of a successful surgery is probably 50%, at best.

But…this is one time… even if I try my best…!

and even if I believe in myself, there’s nothing in the world I can do!

Guy Sensei… Please tell me…!

Please tell me. Can I become like you?

Why did this kind of thing happen only to me?

Because I have my own Way of Ninja to follow,

my own dreams and aspirations that I have to protect and

prove to the world even if it means dying for…

What should I do?!

The Eight Inner Gates…

Is this the Forbidden Jutsu that will destroy the body of the practitioner?

Please tell me!

I’m prepared for the worst.

Please teach me that Forbidden Jutsu!

Everything is…for my dream!

That means everything to me!

You tried to become a great Ninja relying only on Taijutsu…

Until now, that’s all you had.

It must be so painful for you…

Now that it seems that your dreams

and all your wishes are being cruelly taken away.

It does not matter what his wishes are, he should give up on becoming a Shinobi.

Lee…

If you want to be free of that pain, you have to prepare yourself!

Does it mean… to prepare to give up my dreams?

If you lose your dreams,

you will undergo pain even greater than what you feel now.

Neither you nor I would be able to go on living if we lose the Way of Ninja.

What fools we are…

Lee! Have the surgery!

How’s it going with Cell Activation Jutsu?

It’s all about the Chakra, but…

There are so many kinds of cells…

skin cells, internal organ cells, muscular cells…

You know, it’s just a tad difficult to activate all of them at once.

What’s that? “Just a tad,” you say?

Are you testing me?

Oh no!

I’m declaring my trust in you.

I don’t know why, but just a while ago…

I was remembering the time when you and Kakashi Sensei

were competing with rock, paper, scissors.

At that time, Kakashi Sensei said

that your luck is one part of your skill, right?

This surgery is also fifty-fifty, live or die…

But…

it’s not a game of rock, paper, scissors!

Do you remember what happened after that, Lee?

500 times around… lt’s a promise! Yay!

What's he doing?!

Shoot!

If I lose, I’ll walk 500 times around the Leaf Village, on my hands!

It's a promise!

He can’t do that! That’s stupid. He’s acting like a kid.

Hah! This is nothing!

Wh-What are you doing here, Lee?

Why are you doing this?

Kakashi Sensei is not here. ln fact, no one is watching.

When a man stands cool with a Nice-guy pose in front of others,

he should keep his promise, even if it kills him!

It’s a promise!

What?

Why do you always do that?

Whenever you’re about to start doing something,

why do you always come up with some kind of crazy rule.

Good question, Lee.

You really know how to get to the point.

OK, I’ll tell you. But remember, you can’t tell anyone else.

What’s the answer?

Making self-rules is nothing less than a practice which brings me victory!

S-Self-rules…?

Are you ready?

The point of these rules is that, when you’re going after something,

they push you into a real tough spot…

It’s about chaining yourself down.

For example, on the other side of the hellish rule that

“If I lose at rock, scissors, paper, I’ll do 500 laps” is the idea that

“If I do 500 laps,

there’s no way I won’t be able to beat Kakashi next time.”

They hold power, the potential of the heavens.

Y-Yes…

By being chained down to doing 500 laps,

it makes you get serious.

Even about things like rock, paper, scissors competitions,

which are so trifling otherwise.

And, even if you lose, walking around the village 500 times

give you the benefit of extremely intense training.

I see!

OK, I’ve gotta do a little more. Here we go!

I’m going with you! I have my own “self-rule” which is--

Hey! Hey! Don’t push yourself, Lee.

If I can’t keep up with you, I'll…

try even harder!

That is, I’ll aim to be like you.

And if I keep trying, I’ll be able to become a great Ninja!

All right! If that’s the case, then I have an addition to my rule!

If you can’t keep up with me all the way to the end…

I’ll put every ounce of my being into training you!

If I train you with all my being, you’ll be able to turn into a fine Ninja!

I promise!

Huh, that’s right.

That was the first time you told me about the "self-rule," wasn’t it?

Your surgery will be a success

because you have worked hard all the way through.

You have the power to bring your own future in the heavens.

And in the one in a thousand…

no, one in a million chance that something goes wrong…

I will die with you!

Ever since I met you,

my Way of Ninja has been to nurture you into a fine Ninja.

I promise you!

Neither you nor I would be able to go on living if we lose the Way of Ninja.

What fools we are…

G-Guy Sensei!

OK, let’s go, Lee!

Yes, sir!

Lady Tsunade!

From this day forward,

I am the ruler of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, the Fifth Hokage!

I believe your promise, its a true heart give me courage

Always I feel it the precious time with you

On your still shoulder

I feel the wind that blows towards tomorrow

The city lights are like pieces of stars

That hold us together

“Each one of us glows differently,”

you say laughingly

but you look most dazzling

Like a comet,

like the rainbow after the storm

You bring light into my heart

Being lost can be the answer

Let’s promise we won’t cheat

Uh... like a shooting star, we do go ahead.

Darn! He has no hole in his defense.

Being impatient won't do any good, Naruto.

Let's utilize the next mission.

That's right. The next mission requires an overnight stay.

– Our chance will be at the inn. – Roger that!

Once we get to the inn, we'll wait until he's defenseless…

– and then… – and then…

– unmask him at once! – unmask him at once!

Next time: "Gotta See! Gotta Know! Kakashi Sensei's True Face!"

'Cuz we're really curious!
