All right, everyone.

SHINOBI From today, you'll start practicing with shuriken.

You're all beginners. But that's okay.

That's the reason why you're students at the Academy.

Be extremely careful so you don't hurt yourselves

or end up hitting your classmates.

Whoa!

All right!

No one's listening…

I just can't get it right.

It would be more worthwhile if I just drew pictures.

Well, we've been forced to practice this sort of thing at home.

Since I secluded myself in the woods and immersed myself in training,

my shuriken is perfect!

– He's pretty good. – Yeah.

Sh-Shikadai and everyone are watching!

Oh, my hand kinda slipped! That's weird!

Move outta the way!

This is how I do this…

Oh!

H-Hey, isn't that dangerous?!

Demon Wind Shuriken!

Let's go!

Such an unsteady shuriken.

With my kick, I'll—!

Metal!

L-Leaf Hurricane!

Are you all right?

Y-Yes.

You're Metal, right? I'm sorry!

Is this one of your pranks again?

Where did you get it?

You aren't supposed to be able to use a Demon Wind Shuriken yet.

Well, I found it in the lockers, so…

Hey!

That's my Demon Wind Shuriken. You can't just take it!

Oh, it belongs to you?

You guys…

All of you, come to the teacher's office after class.

What?

No "whats."

What? Why do we have to go too?

We haven't done anything.

It's called collective responsibility.

This kind of thing should've been a piece of cake.

But I couldn't… When I get nervous, I mess up!

Metal Lee Goes Wild!

I've pulled my share of pranks when I was young,

so it's not that I don't understand.

That aside, you guys fool around too much.

There was only a certain someone who was fooling around.

Hmm…

Well, you're setting a bad example for the other students.

Anyway, I'm ordering you to do volunteer work outside of class.

M-Me too?!

Me too?

You two will supervise everyone else. Got that?

Why me?

To begin with, it's against the rules to bring unauthorized weapons to school.

Oh, this…

The one you crashed into and damaged.

All right! I've been waiting for you!

You're the students from the Academy, right?

Shino Sensei told me about you.

These repairs require extreme care and attention,

just think of it as part of ninjutsu training and do your best!

Right!

– Looking forward to working with you! – Looking forward to working with you!

Aw man! Isn't there some ninjutsu to fix it all at once?!

By all rights, you should be doing this all by yourself.

This must be more of a pain for you, Class Rep…

It's okay, I like construction work.

Besides, working on the Hokage's Great Stone Faces is a great honor.

You got that right, Miss Class Rep!

R-Repairing the Great Stone Faces… I just can't mess this up.

I can do this alone!

Wait, Boruto!

Wha—?!

Don't go charging in all by yourself!

CONTINUE GAME OVER

We were on a roll too.

Boruto, you ruined it!

Sorry…

Everyone!

Please keep your breaks short.

Sorry.

Let's finish this up quickly!

Yeah!

Most of the work's done.

It's only your side that's left, Metal.

Whoa, hey! Metal!

Metal!

Huh?

Huh?

Come over here quickly!

Huh?!

Huh!

Huh?!

Are you okay, Miss Class Rep?

Yes.

Uh-oh, not again.

Man, I'm tired.

Today was rough.

And whose fault was it anyway?

Oh yeah, how about stopping for some burgers?

I have some discount coupons.

Cheer up, Metal!

You can just wing something like that…

The Seventh's face isn't all that perfect in real life anyway.

B-But…

You know, Metal, just working really hard doesn't mean it's all right.

Sometimes, you end up creating more work

and skimming over the essentials.

When you get nervous, you always make mistakes, right?

How did you know?

You think it wasn't obvious?

Anyway, even with stuff like that, you're too honest to a fault.

I'm too honest?

No matter how hard you train by yourself in the mountains,

unless you overcome that nervousness, it's completely useless!

Oh man, I didn't…

Anyway, I'm over this way, so…

Metal…

Shikadai, was that any way to talk to him?

You're one to talk.

I think Metal tries harder than everyone else.

Oww!

Just what did you do in school today?!

N-Nothing. It was all Boruto…

I just happened to get caught up in it!

Why are you making excuses? It's so unmanly.

Mo— Ow!

I'm home.

Oh, what's up?

Got into trouble, Shikadai?

No, Dad.

I didn't do anything.

Please talk to him.

He keeps getting into trouble at the Academy.

At this rate, you won't become a great ninja.

Well, that's how you go about learning at the Academy.

Just consider getting scolded as part of becoming a great ninja.

There's no such thing as a perfect kid.

When you get nervous, you always make mistakes, right?

Anyway, even with stuff like that, you're too honest to a fault.

So, I guess my son is just like the others…

He'll get scolded and lectured, and mature.

Otherwise, he'll become someone who's rotten inside,

someone who won't feel remorse when he's wrong or be able to say sorry.

Shikadai, was that any way to talk to him?

Yeah, you're right, Dad…

Don't worry, Temari!

He gets it.

Anyway, I'm hungry. Let's eat soon.

You're too easy on him. That's why Shikadai gets into trouble…

Huh? I'm the one getting scolded here?

I'm saying this for the sake of the Nara family.

And you give me this attitude?

– W-What a drag… – W-What a drag…

Both of you were just thinking, "what a drag," weren't you?

Well, no dinner for both of you tonight!

Damn it Dad, learn to read the situation, will you?

You already know that when she's like that,

she doesn't budge.

Oh man, I didn't…

I didn't know he was so sensitive about it.

I totally said too much, didn't I?

I guess I'll apologize tomorrow.

What a drag…

Damn it. You don't have a care in the world…

Huh?

Oh!

Metal! About yesterday…

That's…

It's like that time with Denki…

Metal?!

Wait up!

Shikadai?!

Hey, Metal!

I wanna talk to you…

Metal?

H-Hey, Metal?!

I'll show you my true strength and what I'm really like…

when I'm not nervous.

Metal, so you were mad about yesterday.

H-Hey wait!

I don't blame you for getting upset.

I was a little…

No, I was way too harsh.

Oh man… If I get hit I could really die.

Now, fight me.

Shikadai, are you okay?!

He's fighting Metal?

I don't get it, but he's not himself.

If you're going to get in the way, I won't show you any mercy either.

Metal…

It has to be…

What's wrong, Boruto?

Can't you guys see that?

What are you talking about?

Never mind that!

Metal's lost it…

What do we…?

Something terrible will happen unless we do something…

He threw it perfectly.

When he's not nervous, he's amazing.

– Yikes! – Yikes!

Hey Shikadai, he's strong!

Do you have a strategy?!

Calm down. I'm thinking!

In any case…

Run away!

Come on out! It's useless to hide.

H-He's scary!

Shh! Quiet!

We can't just keep on running away.

You're the one who told us to run!

It's okay!

I've figured it out this time…

Let's counterattack.

Listen, Boruto.

If you don't want it to be game over, don't go charging in all by yourself!

Huh?

Even if your opponent is strong,

pooling our strength makes victory possible.

That's what makes games fun.

Where are you?

Shadow Paralysis Jutsu!

You're not getting away!

You were close!

Shadow Paralysis Jutsu,

a ninjutsu that renders anyone who touches that shadow immobile.

But I see there's a limit to the distance it can reach.

Ninja Art

Super Beast Scroll!

What? But he didn't move!

And the shadow hasn't touched me.

Shadow Paralysis Jutsu, complete.

W-What's going on?!

It's the Transformation Jutsu.

W-What?!

Then what was that shadow?!

It's a snake that I made.

I will never forgive you… for tricking me!

What's with this strength?!

If this keeps going, the jutsu won't hold!

Sorry, Metal…!

Boruto!

Knock Metal out!

Knock him out? How?

Do anything! Punch him or whatever!

Huh?!

Punch him?

Hurry up!

Want me to do it?

Damn it!

I'll do it, all right?!

Go!

– Huh? – Huh?

Huh?

Metal?!

Hey! Are you okay, Metal?!

– Oh… – Oh…

What did I…?

Oww…

Thank goodness!

Looks like you're back to normal.

I'm so sorry about yesterday!

I didn't mean to belittle you!

Huh?

No, it's okay…

You had every right to be angry.

I'm really sorry.

Your power when you're not nervous…

is really awesome.

Shikadai…

I think you should train a little more seriously.

And especially you, Boruto.

Me?!

That's pretty blunt.

Oh, class is going to start!

Come on, everyone, let's go!

Oh well…

Guess I'll take class seriously then.

Yeah, me too.

Everyone, let's hurry!

Yeah, yeah…

I'm home.

Big Brother, welcome home!

Hi, Himawari!

Welcome home, Boruto.

You're just in time for dinner.

I seriously paid attention in class today,

so I'm really hungry!

Just today?

I mean… We had lots of hard stuff to learn today, so…

Big Brother, let's play after dinner!

Hmm?

Well, I gotta study afterwards.

By the way, Mom… The thing with your eyes…

It's called the Byakugan, right?

Hmm?

Yes. I…

your uncle…

and the entire Hyuga Clan have that ability.

What about it?

Oh, nothing.

Just wondering if you can see all sorts of things with it.

Well… You can see long distances, through things…

as well as other people's chakra.

Chakra?

Was that thing chakra?

So, uh Mom…

Huh?

I'm home.

Daddy!

You got to come home early today.

Yeah… Finally finished an all-nighter.

Dinner's ready. What do you want to do?

Thanks… But I'm going straight to bed.

All right.

Good night.

He's not even gonna eat the meal that Mom prepared?

That stupid old man…

I'll get you again!

That's good, Boruto!

Inojin, finish 'em!

Leave it to me!

I wondered where you were…

And here you are, fooling around!

I'm reporting this to the teacher.

Hey, Metal, did you know this game helps improve your teamwork skills?

Not only that, it helps you relax.

So maybe it'll help you get rid of your nervousness.

Huh?

Here you go…

BORUTO SHIKADAI INOJIN BORUTO ATTACK RETREAT DEFENSE NINJUTSU

KING OF HELL SNAKE'S ATTACK BORUTO'S ATTACK

Okay!

Now, Metal!

Okay, now it's up to you!

Huh?!

You can do it. Go!

– All right, finish him! – All right, finish him!

If you say things like that, I'll get nervous!

Nooo!

My game!

I'm sorry…

– When I get nervous, I… – What are you gonna do?!

He is way too honest.

Yeah…

But at least he'll never turn rotten inside.

Damn it, everyone's such a drag!

I'm buying the last yakisoba bun.

Normally, if you were really a man, you'd let a girl have it.

Well, that's if you were a normal girl…

What does that mean?

Stop right there! Let me prepare a fighting ring.

Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:

A Ninjutsu Battle of the Sexes!

All right! Let's do this!

A NINJUTSU BATTLE OF THE SEXES!
