Are you really happy,
when you're always meeting to someone's expectations?
Even if you change to who you really wanna be
Will you always have a great smile?

and someday, I'll live on my own.
Yes, precious things are never in shape

Turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength

Disqualified?! Danger! Moving ahead of Schedule!
The Main Tournament with Troubles!
Disqualified?! Danger! Moving ahead of schedule!
The main tournament with troubles!
He... He did it!
What...?
I didn't expect that fox kid to fight like that.
Yeah!
He still has the energy to run around.
Geez, he's got a lot of stamina.
Naruto is getting stronger and stronger.
He's pretty good.
Yeah, he's pretty strong.
And he might be sort of cute.
I'm a little envious of you.
When I see you fight, it makes me think that I should try my best, too.
That's an amazing thing.
He won.
Are you serious?
I thought that he was in the "not-so-cool group" like me.
Not-so-cool group?
He's getting all those cheers, which make him a member of the "cool group".
Actually, I probably can't beat him.
I'm in deep trouble.
Now I feel down.
He can extract the power of the Kyuubi without losing himself.
Yeah, everyone from Konoha is surprised.
When did Naruto learn to control the powers of the Kyuubi like that?
I'm the best!
When captured birds grow wiser, they try to open the cage with their beaks.
They don't give up, because they want to fly again.
You lose this time.
Father...
You're okay, there is no damage to your internal organs.
It looks like you've used up most of your chakra.
You're not the only special guy here.
Why do you try to fight against your fate that hard?
Because...
you called me a dropout.
Those who become Hokage are born with that fate.
So what?!
Hyuuga-sama.
I am sorry, but could you please leave us alone for a moment?
B-But...!
I won't take too long.
Sir!
What do you want?
That day...
I came to tell you the truth of that day.
That day?
Back then, I was planning to die.
What are you...
What are you saying?!
That time, my father was killed in your place!
This has the truth of that day written in it.
It just has excuses convenient for the head family written in it, right?
You should be old enough to understand it, now.
This writing is...
Neji, I only have a short amount of time left.
There is something I want to tell you with that limited time.
Something he wanted to tell me?
The Country of Lightning's head ninja, who tried to kidnap Hinata-sama,
was killed by Hiashi-sama.
But the Country of Lightning did not admit the kidnap attempt took place...
They focused only on the fact that their head ninja was killed, and demanded unreasonable compensation.
It cannot be helped.
If my life can save this village...
Wait, Hiashi.
Do not jump to conclusions.
Hyuuga's Kekkei Genkai is this village's important trump card.
The head family's job is to forever protect it.
But before serving in that capacity,
we will get this village involved in a hopeless war...
I know that.
That's why...
That's why the branch family exists.
We will hand over Hizashi's body in your place.
Hizashi has already consented to it.
However, they seek the Byakugan's secrets...
In Hizashi's case, the ability will seal itself when he dies.
I do not believe that the Country of Lightning will be satisfied with that...
That may be what they're truly after, but their demand was to hand over Hyuuga Hiashi's body.
We will pretend that we've agreed to their demand, and hand over your look-alike, Hizashi, and...
They will not be able to pursue the matter very easily.
B-But...
Hiashi.
The time has come.
This was how our predecessors have protected the ability of the Hyuuga.
Even if he is a sibling, you must have the heart to accept this.
That is...
the fate of the head family.
And this...
This is the destiny of those born a Hyuuga.
Where did the usually resolute Hiashi-sama go?
This is a special case!
I cannot just say yes...
Hizashi... you...
Please, let me go.
You have Neji...
Why do you wish to choose death for the head family...?
That is not it.
I hated the head family.
To be honest, I still hate it.
That is why I wish to protect you.
Not because you are a head family member, but because you're my older brother.
With my death, it will be the first thing I have chosen to do myself.
I have only shown Neji my ugly side.
But now that I am in this situation, I have finally discovered my own will.
So please tell Neji this...
I am not going to die to protect the head family...
I chose death with my own will to protect Neji, my siblings and my family, and our village.
You're saying that choosing your own death is freedom?
Brother...
Just once, I wanted to go against the destiny of the Hyuuga.
I got the urge to choose my own destiny.
That is all.
Overcome destiny, Neji.
Destiny... Has to be taken by your own hands.
Father...
That is the truth.
I am sorry!
Please raise your head.
Father, is destiny like a cloud that floats in a predetermined current?
Or is it able to get on the current that is chooses for itself?
I still don't understand.
Either way, we might just end up in the same place.
But if it is the latter,
people are able to try hard to move toward their goals in life.
I think I have finally found out in this battle that those who possess that will are the truly strong ones.
And, Father,
I have only one goal.
I want to become stronger.
So that I won't lose to anyone.
That's what I think right now.
Father, there are a lot of birds flying today.
They fly like they enjoy it.
The crowd sure is noisy.
That was a nice battle.
Yes. That too, but...
But the next match is something the head ninja, and the feudal lords are highly anticipating.
By the way,
I did not see him at the opening ceremony,
but he is already here, correct?
Yes...
We still have not located Sasuke.
And there's the Orochimaru issue.
Perhaps we should disqualify him before everyone causes an uproar.
What are you doing?!
Start the next match!
How long are you going to make us wait?!
We don't have all day, you know!
What happened?
Is Sasuke-kun here for the next match?
Sasuke-kun...
What's that guy doing?
Is he planning to not come?
A wise man keeps away from danger.
He made a good decision.
What are you talking about?
He'll definitely come.
But, what is he doing?
He's going to get disqualified at this rate.
I have no choice...
Sasuke is disqualified.
Sir!
Uchiha Sasuke,
disqualified?
I have no choice.
What are we going to do?
If he doesn't come, our plan is going to...
Isn't this bad?
Back then, did he...?
Where are you going, Gaara?
I'm going to go confirm my existence.
Damn it.
Gaara better not have killed him.
Sasuke, one more time.
What is it?
Your location is obvious with that intense bloodlust of yours.
Come out.
You, eh?
Hokage-dono, can you hold on before disqualifying Uchiha Sasuke?
Pardon the interruption, but those who think lightly of time as a ninja...
have no right to become Chuunin, no matter how elite they are.
Unless there is a clear explanation that will convince the head ninja and feudal lords here...
there is no reason to wait for him.
I see.
Then there is a good reason.
Including me,
I can say that most of the head ninja and feudal lords here came to watch this particular match.
But...
He is a survivor of the Uchiha, after all.
The Country of Wind wishes for him to fight our Gaara.
Hokage-sama.
There is no guarantee that Sasuke will come...
Very well.
We will put this match on hold, and wait for him.
Hokage-sama, are you sure...?
Tell the examiner.
Sir.
But it was rare for you to say that much, Kazekage-dono.
I can think of no other opponent besides an Uchiha to show our village's ninja's quality to the feudal lords.
It is a chance for us.
I understand.
Ladies and gentlemen...
An examiner for the next match has not arrived just yet.
Therefore this match will be delayed, and we will begin the next match first.
What is Sasuke doing?
I'm so glad! Sasuke-kun won't be disqualified.
That was close.
Does that mean my match is coming up faster?
Next match up,
Kankuro and Aburame Shino.
Come down.
My match isn't important!
Damn it!
Besides, I don't want to show the enemy Karasu's hidden weapons before the plan.
Examiner!
I'm giving up!
What?
I'm giving up!
Go to the next match.
Kankuro has given up, therefore Aburame Shino wins by default.
You are?
It's my turn, right?
Looks like you want to do this.
Okay,
we're going to start the next match.
Hey!
The other one!
Get down here.
Hey now, why are you guys getting excited?
Actually, why do I have to be the one who gets his match-ups changed so frequently.
Nara Shikamaru, it's your turn.
Damn, I should just copy the guy and give up...
All right! Go get her, Shikamaru!
Damn Naruto...
One! First, Tyson jumps and slamdunks
Two! He kisses and hugs everyone randomly and says "l love you"
Three! Masala masters Yoga but hates curry
Four! Sanchez is a lousy bullfighter. Ole!
All over the world, the sky's smiling, so look up and smile too
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Fight! Fight! Fight!
One! Bodimahattaya-san devotes his time for digging black ships
Two! Peking Duck, Action Scene, Chen Lee speeds around on his bike
