（うずまきナルト）うん
Yeah. Ichiraku hasn't changed a bit!
一楽も全然 変わってないってばよ
Mm... This aroma... It's whetting my appetite.
（ナルト） う～ん この匂い そそる～
All right!
よし
ちわーっす
Hiya!
Welcome!

Old man... Do you remember me?
おっちゃん 俺のこと覚えてる？
Naruto...
ナルト…
It's you, isn't it, Naruto?!
ナルトじゃねえか
ハハッ 忘れるわけねえだろうが
No way could I forget you!
久しぶり
Long time no see!
Huh? Naruto-kun?
（アヤメ）えっ ナルト君？
You sure got big!
大きくなったわね
姉ちゃんも久しぶり
Long time no see, Nee-chan!
What'll you have? You're hungry, right?
なんにする？
腹減ってんだろ？
Yeah, I'm starved!
（ナルト） ああ ペコペコだってばよ
ようし じゃあ きょうは俺のおごりだ
All right then, today it's on me.
好きなもん注文しな
Order whatever you like!
やったあ
All right!
No...
（うみのイルカ）いや （ナルト）ん？
It's on me today.
きょうは俺に おごらせてくれ
（イルカ）やっぱり ここにいたな ナルト
I knew you'd be here, Naruto!
Iruka-sensei!
イルカ先生
サクラは？ 一緒じゃなかったのか？
Sakura isn't with you?
え… はあ
イルカ先生が おごって くれるって分かってたら
If I'd known you were going to treat, I'd have brought Sakura-chan, too...
サクラちゃんも連れてきたのにな
ん？
Maybe I should've let him treat me to half a ramen.
（春野はるのサクラ）ラーメン…
半分だけでも おごって もらったほうが よかったかしら
ん
白玉あんみつ お代わり
Can I get some more rice-flour anmitsu?!
Oh!

（砂の里の忍）風影様の砂だ
Wow! Look at the size of the shield he made!
（砂の里の忍）すごい
こんな大きな盾を作るなんて
（バキ）さすが 風影だ
Just what I'd expect from the Kazekage.

I wonder if he's okay...
He did it! You're amazing, Kazekage-sama.
（砂の里の忍） やった すごい 風影様
Ooh!
フッ 我愛羅の絶対防御が その程度で破れるものか
Gaara's Total Sand Defense can't be broken that easily.
Baki-sama! The preparations for attack have been completed!
（砂の里の忍）バキ様 攻撃準備 完了しました
All right! Attack all together when I give the signal!
よし 合図と共に一斉攻撃だ
（デイダラ）さすが 特別製の砂は ガードが速いな うん
I'd expect no less...
His specially-created sand sure got some quick defense...
However...
でも…
That's just what I want.
（デイダラ）おいらの思いどおり

はっ！

My left hand was crushed...

（デイダラ） その隙に お前の砂を食って 起爆粘土を混入させてもらった
However, I used that opportunity to eat some of your sand...
and mix it with my bomb clay.
You were doomed the instant you used that sand to defend yourself.
その砂をガードに使ったのが お前の運の尽きだ うん
That being said, I planned it that way!
と言っても おいらが そうするよう仕組んだんだがな
（我愛羅）ええ！

Here's an extra-large special serving of our ramen!
ラーメン大盛スペシャル お待ち
（ナルト）おお～！
It's the real-deal Ichiraku ramen...
本物の一楽のラーメン
修行中に何度 このラーメンを夢見たことか
I dreamed about this ramen so many times during my training...
さあ 冷めないうちに食べとくれ
Now, eat up before it gets cold!
Right.
（ナルト）ああ！
Thank you!
いただきます
（幼いナルト） 先生 お願い あんだけど
By the way, can I ask you a favor, Sensei?
You want seconds?
お代わりか？
ん～ いや
Let me wear your Leaf Headband.
木ノ葉の額あて ちっとやらして
ああ これか
Oh, this?! No way.
ダメダメ
This is proof that you've graduated from the Academy
これは学校卒業して 一人前と認められた証しだからな
and have been acknowledged as a full-fledged Ninja, you see!
Wait for yours until tomorrow!
お前は あした
（幼いナルト）ん～ ケチ！
You cheapskate!
- Naruto... - Huh?
（イルカ）ナルト （ナルト）ん？
You've sure grown a lot compared to the time
これを欲しがってたときとは 比べものにならないほど成長したな
when you wanted this...
やっぱし？ やっぱし そう思う？
Have I?! Have I?! Do you think so?
This Headband you gave me,
イルカ先生に もらった この額あて
it looks perfect on me now, doesn't it?
もう俺 完璧 様になってるだろ？
フフッ
何 図に乗ってんだ
Don't be getting carried away! You've still got a long way to go.
お前なんか まだまだだよ
You've still got to do better and better!
もっともっと活躍しないとな
ふん
（イルカ） すっかり大きくなっちまって
You've gotten so big...
Man, this is good!
うんめえ
Sure enough, Ichiraku Ramen is the greatest!
やっぱ 一楽のラーメンって 最高だってばよ
Isn't it, though?
そうだろう そうだろう
But...
（ナルト）でも…
Hm?!
ん？
（ナルト）１つ不満があるってばよ
There's one thing I'm not quite happy with.
Naruto... We meet for the first time in ages
ナルト てめえ 久々に会ったと思ったら
and the first thing you do is find fault with my ramen?! Huh?!
いきなり うちのラーメンに ケチつけようってのか？ ああ！
ああっと 違うってば
It's... It's not like that.
I don't have a problem with the ramen.
ラーメンに不満が あるわけじゃねえって
じゃあ なんだ
Then what is it?!
な…
I... thought the next time Iruka-sensei would treat me to ramen
俺 次にイルカ先生に ラーメンおごってもらうのは
would be after I'd become a Chunin...
中忍ちゅうにんになったときだと思ってたから
あ… ナルト
Naruto...
All of my classmates have become Chunin,
同期の連中は みんな中忍になったのに
and I'm the only one who's still just a Genin.
俺だけ まだ下忍げにんだもんなあ
はあ
You don't need to worry about whether you're a Genin or a Chunin.
（イルカ）下忍 中忍って そんなに ひがむなよ
After all, Jiraiya-sama trained you personally...
お前なんか あの自来也じらいや様に ジキジキに教わってんだから
（ナルト）そら そうなんだけど
I know, but...
But listen, that Pervy Sage is really merciless!
でもさ でもさ 容赦なしだってばよ エロ仙人ってば
The cloth on the precious Headband you gave me got all tattered.
せっかくイルカ先生に もらった額あてだって
布がボロッボロになっちまってよ
The same with my clothes, too.
服もボロボロだったから
So I got this cloth newly made along with my new threads!
ついでに この布も 新調してもらったんだから
But thanks to that intense training, you've gotten quite strong, haven't you?
でも そのすごい修行のおかげで ずいぶんと強くなったんだろ？
You should be happy about it.
よかったじゃないか
Yeah. I feel like I've gotten another step closer
ああ また１歩 火影ほかげに 近づいた感じだってばよ
to becoming the Hokage!
Ooh, sounds like you've got quite the confidence!
（イルカ）おお なかなか 言うようになったな
Yeah! Speaking of which,
（ナルト） ああ そう言えば 砂隠れの我愛羅は もう風影になったっていうし
I heard Gaara of the Hidden Sand has already become the Kazekage!
Oh... That kid's kind of special, so.
（イルカ）ああ
あの子は またちょっと 別格だからな
What do you mean by special?
（ナルト） 別格って なんだってばよ
Huh?!
ええ？
You don't become the Kazekage just by being special.
（ナルト）それだけじゃあ 風影にはなれねえ
I can tell...
俺には分かるんだ
I bet... he worked incredibly hard...
あいつ きっとムチャクチャ 頑張ったんだ
He worked really hard, everyone acknowledged him...
頑張って 頑張って みんなに認められて
and then he became the Kazekage!
あいつは風影になったんだ
What the hell happened...?
一体 何が起ったというのだ？
G-Gaara...
が… 我愛羅
（デイダラ）フフフッ
Gaara!
（カンクロウ）我愛羅！
Tsunade-sama.
（シズネ）綱手様
Have you decided on the first mission for Team Kakashi?
（シズネ）カカシ班の初任務ですが もう決まりましたか？
（綱手）ナルトもサクラも ２年半 修行の日々だったからなあ
Naruto and Sakura did nothing but training
for two and a half years, after all.
（綱手）これまでの分も みっちり働いてもらうぞ
I'm going to have them work off those two and a half years!
おっ これは どうだ？
Oh, how about something like this...?
A VIP escort in the Land of Rice Paddies...
田の国の要人警護
（シズネ）ああ… （綱手）Ｂランク任務かあ
This is a B-rank mission, huh...?
But Naruto-kun hasn't been on a mission in quite awhile.
でも ナルト君は任務に就くのも 久しぶりですし
Wouldn't an easier mission be better to start...?
最初は簡単な任務のほうが よいのでは？
ああ あ… ほらこれとか
Look, how about something like this...?
ん？ 犬の散歩 Ｄランクじゃないか
Dog-walking...?
This is a D-rank mission!
Sakura's a Chunin,
サクラも中忍だし ナルトも力をつけている
and I'm sure Naruto is much stronger now.
I can't send them on a mission like this.
こんな任務やらせられるか！
However... there's the issue with the Nine-Tails to consider.
しかし 九尾の件もありますし
I don't think it's wise to imprudently send him out of the village too much...
あまり不用意に 里から出すのは危険かと…
That's why I teamed them up with Kakashi.
そのためにカカシをつけているのだ
それは 分かりますが…
I... understand that, but...
We can at least give them this mission.
（綱手）最低でも これだ これ以下は譲れん
I'll concede no further.
金塊輸送の護衛 Ｃランクですか
A gold bullion transport convoy... A C-rank mission...?
それでも恐らくナルトは むくれるぞ
Naruto will probably still get miffed. He'll say it's too easy.
簡単過ぎるとな
Oh!
んあ？
ああ ごめん おっちゃん
Sorry about that, old man!
Don't worry about it.
（テウチ）いいって いいって
んー もったいねえってばよ
Man, what a waste.
（砂の里の忍）ああ 風影様！
Kazekage-sama!
It-It can't be! Gaara's Ultimate Defense has been...
バ… バカな 我愛羅の絶対防御が…
何を やりやがったんだ
What the hell did he do...?
（デイダラ） 至近距離で爆発を起こせば お前は おいらの手を潰した
I cause an explosion at point-blank range...
and you're forced to use
your speedy gourd sand you crushed my hand with to defend yourself...
スピードのある ひょうたんの砂を ガードに使うはず
However... then I'm down to my last attack...
ただ こっちの攻撃もラスト１回
I had to create an opening
確実に お前の至近距離で 爆発を起こすには
in order to cause a sure explosion at close range...
隙を作り出す必要があった
そのために 里にオハコを 落としたって訳だ うん
I dropped my "specialty" on the village for that very purpose.
あっ
回収するか うん
I guess I'll go retrieve him.
（我愛羅）あ… ああ
（デイダラ）ああ！
ん
フッ なるほどな
I get it.
Wh-What's happening...?
（バキ）こ… これは
He's draining his last remaining strength
（カンクロウ） 最後の力を振り絞って 砂を 里の外に運び出そうとしてるんだ
in an attempt to move the sand outside the village...
He wants to make sure the village isn't damaged!
里に被害が及ばないように
I'd expect no less from the Kazekage...
さすがは風影
そのまま里に落としちまえば 楽なのによ
Even when it'd be easier just to drop it on the village.
G-Gaara...
が… 我愛羅
（バキ）ええい 何をしている！
Hey, what're you guys doing?! We must protect Kazekage-sama!
風影様をお守りする
Commence attack!
攻撃開始だ
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
（砂の里の忍たち）はっ
Fire!
（砂の里の忍）撃て！
ああ
Your attacks are futile.
ムダな抵抗だな うん
Fire!
撃て！
Your attacks are futile, I'm telling you!
ムダな抵抗だって 言ってんだろ うん
ああ
少しは工夫してきたか
They got a bit creative, huh...?
My man Sasori will be ticked off if I keep him waiting too long.
あんまり待たせると サソリの 旦那の機嫌が悪くなるな うん
Is he going to keep me waiting forever?
（サソリ）いつまで待たせる気だ
Hang in there, Kazekage-sama!
（砂の里の忍） 頑張ってください 風影様
（デイダラ）んん
我愛羅 もう少しだ 頑張れ
Gaara! Hang in there just a little longer!
He did it!
やった
フフフッ
（イルカ）今度はナルト お前が頑張る番だな
Now it's your turn to work hard, Naruto.
ん… でも相手は風影
But my opposition's the Kazekage...
俺は まだ下忍のままだし
I'm still just a Genin...
But your training with Jiraiya-sama wasn't for nothing, right?
（イルカ）でも 自来也様とムダに 修行してきたわけじゃないだろ
聞いたぞ
I heard you and Sakura were able to take the bells away from Kakashi.
カカシさんから 鈴を奪ったそうじゃないか
サクラと２人で
アッハハ
案外 楽勝だったってばよ
It was more of a cinch than I thought!
今じゃ俺ってば イルカ先生より強いかもね
I might even be stronger than you, Iruka-sensei!
何 言ってんだ まだまだ 俺だって負けやしないぞ
What're you talking about?!
I'm a long way from being outdone!
それは やってみなきゃ 分かんねえってばよ
We won't know unless we try!
（イルカ）アハッ おいおい
Oh, come on!
In any event, starting tomorrow,
まあ でも あしたからは カカシ班の一員として働くんだろ
you'll be working as a member of Team Kakashi, right?
Good luck!
頑張れよ
Right!
うん
俺だって 将来 火影ほかげになるんだ
I'm going to become Hokage in the future, after all...
No way will I be outdone by the likes of Gaara!
我愛羅なんかにゃ 負けてらんねえってばよ
Gaara!
我愛羅
Rescue the Kazekage-sama!
風影様をお救いしろ
It was harder than I thought not to kill him...
殺さないようにってのが わりと難儀だったけど
ああ！
Mission cleared.
ノルマクリアーだな うん
Gaara!
我愛羅！

Missions are fundamentally carried out in three-man squads,
units of three Shinobi with a leader who is ranked Chunin or higher.
