Come on!
Running like a fugitive,
Being chased by something
Inside my heart is pounding
My throat dry like it's withering
For no single one,
To none does belong,
This time is ours, right now...
Unraveling the pain,
Unraveling our hearts,
Unraveling shadows
Stifling our breath,
Reaching for beyond,
Tearing through the dark
In fighting and in love
To the distant light above,
Yes, we are on the way
I wanna rock...
Rockin' my heart
Sasuke here at Point B.
Sakura here at Point C.
Naruto here at Point A.
You're slow, Naruto!
Okay, Team 7.
The target is on the move!
After it!
Alright, he's over there.
What's the distance from the target?
Five meters. I'm ready to go.
I'm ready too.
Me too.
Okay.
Go!
I got you!
Does he have a ribbon on his right ear? Is it our target, Tora?
It's the target, for sure.
Alright, operation "Capture the lost pet Tora" Completed.
Isn't there a more exciting mission we can work on?!
Important mission!
Heading to the Country of the Wave!
Important mission! Heading to the Country of the Wave!
Ohhh! My cute Tora-chan! I was worried to death!
The wife of the country of Fire's Feudal lord
Madame Shijimi & Tora
Serves him right, that stupid cat.
No wonder he ran away.
Now then...
The next mission for Kakashi's Team 7 is...
Babysitting Yojyu-sama's boy. Grocery shopping in the neighboring town.
Digging for potatoes.
Nooooo!
No thank you to all of that!
As for me, I want to do a more exciting mission!
Give us something else!
He's got a point.
Geez, he's troublesome.
I thought it was about time for him to do this.
You idiot! You're still bottom newbie!
At the beginning everyone starts with the easy missions to gain experience!
But, But! It's been nothing but dumb missions so far!
Knock it off.
Naruto!
It looks like I need to explain to you what a mission is.
Listen. A lot of clients come to this village every day.
Requesting things from babysitting to assassinations.
On the request list, a large variety of request are listed on it.
They are separated into A, B, C, and D ranks in order of difficulty.
In the village, everyone below me is divided up by ability in the order of Jounin, Chuunin, and Genin.
Hokage
(Leader)
Jounin
(Elite)
Chuunin
(Commoners)
Hokage
(Leader)
Jounin
(Elite)
Chuunin
(Commoners)
Genin
(Cadets)
Academy
(Candidates)
Request
We at higher levels distribute the requests as missions to Ninja who have the appropriate abilities.
Mission
Jounin
Chuunin
Genin
And, if the mission is successful we receive a fee from the client.
Still, you guys have just become Genin so D rank is about the best you can do.
I had tonkotsu ramen yesterday, so today I'm going to eat miso ramen.
Listen!
I-I'm sorry.
You're always lecturing me, geezer.
But I'm not that little kid who used to pull pranks anymore!
I'm going to get yelled at later.
The kid who could only express himself with pranks.
Okay, I understand!
If you insist.
I'll allow you to take a C-rank mission.
You'll be escorting a certain someone.
Really?!
Who? Who?
The feudal lord?! Or a princess?!
Don't get so hasty.
I'll introduce him now.
Could you please come in?
What's this? It's just a bunch of damn kids!
Particularly you, the small one with the idiotic face.
Are you really a Ninja?
Who's the small one with the idiotic face?
I'm going to kill him!
Don't kill the old man you're supposed to escort, you idiot.
I'm Tazuna, a veteran bridge builder.
Once we have returned to my country, I'll have all of you protect my life with yours while I complete the bridge.
All right!
We're off!
What are you so excited about?
Because I've never been outside of the village before.
Hey, will a brat like him really be okay?
I'm a Jounin. I'll be watching him. There's no need to worry.
Will a brat like him...
This geezer is the worst client ever.
I'll tell him a thing or two.
Hey, geezer!
Don't underestimate Ninja! I'm an amazing Ninja!
I'm an elite Ninja who will one day receive the title of Hokage.
The name is Uzumaki Naruto.
Remember it!
The Hokage is the village's number one Ninja, right?
You sure doesn't seem like you could become one.
Shut up!
I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to become the Hokage!
Then you'll have no choice but to acknowledge me!
I'll never acknowledge you, brat.
Even if do you become the Hokage.
I'll kill you!
I told you to stop, idiot.
No, no! At least let me have one shot.
Say, Tazuna-san...
What is it?
Your country is the Land of Waves, right?
What about it?
Say, Kakashi-sensei. Are there also Ninja in that country?
No, there aren't any Ninja in the Land of Waves.
While cultures and customs of other countries may be different, hidden villages and Ninjas exist there.
To the many countries that exist on this continent.
The existence of Shinobi villages is equal to the country's military strength.
In other words, that is how they're able maintain their relationships with neighboring countries.
Even so, the villages are not under the control of those counties.
They are equal in rank.
On a small island like the Land of Waves where it's difficult to be influenced by other countries.
There is no need for a Shinobi village.
Among the respective nations that possess a Shinobi Village.
The five countries of "Fire," "Water," "Lightning," "Wind," and "Earth".
Country of Fire
Hidden village of Konoha (Leaf)
Country of Water
Hidden village of Mist
Country of Lightning
Hidden village of Cloud
Country of Wind
Hidden village of Sand
Country of Earth
Hidden village of Rock
Due to their large territory and immeasurable power, they're called the "Five Great Shinobi Countries."
Konohagakure of the Land of Fire.
Kirigakure of the Land of Water.
Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning.
Sunagakure of the Land of Wind.
Iwagakure of the Land of Earth.
Only the leaders of these Hidden Villages is allowed the name of "Kage".
The Hokage, Mizukage, Raikage, Kazekage, Tsuchikage, also know as the "Five Kage",
are Ninja that reign over the tens of thousands of Ninjas that exist in their respective countries.
Hokage-sama must be incredible!
I wonder if that old geezer is really as incredible as he says he is.
Sounds fishy.
It must be a lie.
Hey.
You guys just doubted Hokage-sama, didn't you?
Well, don't worry.
There are no Ninja battles in C-rank missions.
Then there's no worry about meeting a foreign Ninjas.
Of course not.
What?!
W-What?
The first one!
K-Kakashi-sensei!
Second one...
It won't come off.
Wow.
He's coming...
I have to do it, have to do it!
Get back, old man!
Yo.
Kakashi-sensei! He's alive!
Show off.
Then, that was...?
So, Kakashi-sensei... used substitutions.
Naruto.
Sorry I didn't help you right away.
You got hurt.
I didn't think you'd be incapable of moving.
I was saved, somehow.
Anyway, Sasuke, good job.
You too, Sakura.
I... couldn't do anything.
But, Sasuke... It was his first real battle.
He wasn't afraid at all?
He saved me like it was nothing and without getting any dirt on his clothes.
Yo.
Are you hurt?
Scaredy cat?
Sasuke!
Naruto!
These guys have poison on their claws.
We need to hurry and take out the poison.
What?!
You have to open the wound and drain the poisoned blood.
Don't move so much or the poison will spread.
By the way, Tazuna-san...
W-What is it?
I need to talk to you.
Chuunins from Village Hidden in the Mist...
These Shinobi are known for continuing to fight no matter the cost.
How were you able to detect our movements?
It hasn't rained for days and it's sunny today, so a water puddle shouldn't exist.
Why did you let the kids fight when you knew that?
If I felt like it I could have killed these guys in the blink of an eye.
But... I needed to know.
Who the target of these two was.
What do you mean?
In other words...
What I mean is, I had to know if it was you.
Or one of us Shinobi who was being targeted.
We haven't heard anything about you being targeted by Shinobi.
The content of the request was supposed to be protection from gangs, thieves and such.
This mission is a B-rank or higher.
The request was for support and protection until you finished building the bridge.
If our enemies were to be Ninjas, the mission would've been an expensive B-rank mission.
It looks like you have your reasons, but it only troubles us if you lie in your request details.
This wasn't a part of our mission.
This mission is too soon for us.
Let's quit.
We need anesthetic to open Naruto's wound to get the poisoned blood out.
We have to return to the village and take him to a doctor.
This sure is a burden.
Let's go back to the village, and treat Naruto's wound.
Why am I so different?
Why is it always me.
Damn it!
Naruto, what're you doing?
I should be getting stronger.
I've accomplished lots of missions, and I've practiced techniques every day.
I'll never get into another situation from which I'll have to be rescued.
I'll never be afraid, or be a coward.
I won't lose to Sasuke.
I swear on the pain in my left hand!
I'll protect you, geezer... with this kunai!
The mission continues!
Naruto.
It's good you got rid of the poison yourself.
But, any more than that and you'll bleed to death.
It will be bad if you don't stop it soon, seriously.
No, no, no, no!
I can't die like this!
Show me your hand.
Nooo! Help me!
Naruto.
You're really self-abusive.
That's called masochism.
The wound is...
Already starting to heal.
Say, say...
Am I okay? You look awfully serious.
Well, you should be okay.
Is this... the power of the Kyuubi?
Failed you said?!
I paid a lot of money to hire you guys because you said you were skilled Ninja!
Stop your damn complaining.
I'll use this decapitating "knife" and kill that guy.
Are you sure you'll be okay?
It seems that the enemy has hired some good Shinobi.
Since the Demon Brothers failed their assassination they'll be more cautious, so it won't be easy.
Just who do you think I am?
He who is called the Demon of the hidden Village of Mist.
