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 (Bang) Hit it straight like a line drive!
Right here right now (Burn) We're gonna do it and do our best! BANG!
We're off now, Gai.
Take care of Sasuke for me.
Jiraiya-sama.
Please find Tsunade-sama and bring her back...
We'll find her and bring her back here for sure!
Naruto-kun, I like kids with guts like you.
Here is a gift.
Lee became strong with this.
What? What?
This!
It's splendid at maintaining moisture and allowing air to pass through...
It is also designed for maximum movement,
is perfect in form, and has beautiful curves.
Wear it during your training, and you'll be able to tell the difference right away.
You'll become addicted to it.
And then, you'll want to wear it all the time like Lee.
I wear it all the time, as well!
If you carry something like that all the time, carry a mirror with you too, stupid!
Will it look good on me?
Don't.
Look at the guy in front of you.
It looks really creepy.
Okay, we'll go here.
This is the town full of gambling places...
So you're after Naruto after all.
It is an urgent order by our organization, Akatsuki, to take Naruto-kun with us.
What's wrong?
Hey, Ero-sennin...
Why did they come after me?
You know why, right, Ero-sennin?
They're not really after you.
They're after the thing inside you.
What is this thing anyway?
This guy is the monster who attacked Konoha, right?
That's why everyone fears it...
So, why do they want such a thing?
It's true that the Kyuubi has appeared periodically in history...
A mystic beast that destroys everything in its path.
That's why people in the past feared the Kyuubi as a natural disaster.
I'm not exactly sure what they're planning to do with the Kyuubi.
But as long as the Kyuubi is sealed within you...
perhaps they wish to put its power under their control.
It may be a cruel thing to have those guys after you, but that's fate.
Still, I'll protect you, so don't worry...
Then I need to become stronger!
All right, let's find this Tsunade person, have her save Sasuke, and start training!
I expected to hear something like that from him.
Training Commences
I Swear I'm Going to Become Stronger!
Training commences, I swear I'm going to become stronger!
This place has the highest wager requirement...
賭 = Gamble
Don't get so scared like that.
Let's go.
Please wait!
What is it?
Is the really beautiful lady that you want to interview that Tsunade person?
You're pretty sharp.
What about it?
She's one of those Sannin things that you're part of, right, Ero-sennin?
So what about it?
How old is she?
The same as me.
She's an old lady, then...
She's...
Can you convert all of this money into chips?
She's going to do it...
Who is this lady?
You don't know?
This person has a nickname...
Nickname?
So what kind of person is this Tsunade person?
Interested?
Yes.
Let's see...
In a word, she's unpleasant.
Also, she likes to gamble a lot, and she's well-known in various countries.
Then we can find her easily since she's famous.
It's true that she's famous...
since she's the legendary...
Croupier, what is her nickname?
The Legendary...
Legendary?
Everyone's all happy.
The Legendary...
Sucker.
But even if she's the Legendary Sucker, we probably can't find her immediately.
Why?
She doesn't like aging, so she has probably changed her appearance with some special Jutsu.
She's in her fifties, but she likes to look to be around twenty or so.
On top of that, according to some rumors...
she changes her appearance to look like she's in her teens, twenties, thirties, forties...
depending on the situation to run away from moneylenders.
What's up with that? Sounds horrible.
Tsunade has liked to gamble ever since she was young.
But her luck and skills just plain suck.
She's known by that name since she's been duped out of her money by everyone.
And she borrows money and runs...
That brings back memories...
Stop enjoying your old memories!
So how are we supposed to find her?
I'm not sure.
We'll probably have to take things slowly, but there are many ways of doing it.
Then we don't know how long it'll take...
We won't waste time, though.
I'll use my time on you as we travel.
On me?
The time to make you strong... Training!
Okay!
Wait, wait, wait...
Don't wear that, come on...
I don't want to walk with a guy wearing something like that.
Hey, Ero-sennin, let's start the training.
Don't be so hasty.
This journey will be pointless unless we ask around for information on Tsunade as we train.
Ask around for information?
At this city.
Wait!
Wow.
I've never been to a place like this.
Playing is important, too. Get plenty of rest and then we can move on to training.
The festival is going to last a while...
so we're going to stay here while it goes on.
We're going to do our training here, too.
All right!
You're pretty rich!
You're as rich as a millionaire!
I have a lot of money, since I saved up little by little with my missions.
Bye!
Wait, Naruto!
I'm going to keep your wallet.
What are you doing?!
You can use this much.
What? Only 300 ryou?
Don't "what" me.
You know that there's something called the three taboos of a ninja, right?
Three taboos of a ninja? What are those?
You don't know?
The three taboos of a ninja are the three desires that make a ninja go bad.
The three desires are alcohol, women, and money.
Then it doesn't have much to do with me.
I'm not twenty, so I can't drink alcohol.
And I'm not really sure about this desire for women.
And it took a lot of effort to save up money, so I don't want to use a lot of it.
Fool!
Don't take the desire for money lightly!
Once you start using it, you'll begin to use more!
The magical power of money is quite scary.
The person we're looking for, Tsunade, has nearly ruined her life because of it.
Ero-sennin, you're easily tempted with the desire for women.
I'm going to go ask around now.
Take my pack for me.
Even if you get lost, a pursuing-purpose frog summon will follow my scent.
He's still a kid.
Okay, I'm going to eat something first.
Old man! Takoyaki, please!
Potato with butter!
Coming right up!
I want a chocolate-coated banana.
I want apricot candy, too!
Okay.
I want an Okonomiyaki, too!
Okonomiyaki - meat or seafood in a vegetable pancake
Here you go. It's hot, so be careful.
Old man, one big yakisoba!
All right!
You seem to have bought a lot there, kiddo.
You're not going to eat all that by yourself, are you?
I'm going to eat it all myself.
Here you go.
I ate too much...
I wonder how everyone is doing.
Kakashi-sensei.
Sasuke.
Sakura-chan.
I'm going to train every day, and return home strong.
You just wait.
But before that, I have to work off the food.
Last one!
All right! Perfect!
It's thanks to the shuriken training.
Kid, you suck.
Damn, just you watch...
Hey, now!
To Ninjas!
The use of
Ninjutsu
is prohibited!!
To ninjas... The use of Ninjutsu is prohibited?
Thank you.
You shouldn't walk with the mask on.
Ouch...
Checkbook
It's Ero-sennin's checkbook.
One, ten, hundred, thousand...
There are a lot of zeros!
He could've treated me to something if he had this much.
Cheapskate!
I only have a little left...
I guess the next stand will be the last.
The time to make you strong... Training!
Old man, give me two grilled squids.
And make one a large adult size.
Kid, buying something for your parents? Good boy.
I'll give you the kid size for free!
Thanks a lot, old man! You're great!
Right? Okay! I'll give you 50 percent off on the adult size!
Thanks!
Geez, where did he go?
Is that Ero-sennin's voice?
I just love the young gals.
Oh, Naruto. Did you enjoy all of the festival already?
Say all of the three taboos of a ninja to yourself again!
You broke all three in one go, you idiot!
Wait, Naruto...
I'm not going to wait!
You used all of the money I worked hard to save!
You stupid stupid stupid stupid...
Stop...
I'll pay you back...
You made my frog wallet flat!
What the hell?! Whatcha doing, fool?!
You put a stain on Bro's brand-name suit!
Pay for it!
Get 100.000 ryou!
Clothes like that cost 100.000 ryou?
That stupid looking thing costs 100.000? That's a little on the high side, don't you think?
What? Are you trying to pick a fight?
You shouldn't for your own sake.
Bro is a former Chuunin from the Hidden Village of the Rock...
He's the killer ninja who was feared as a legendary Yaminin.
Legendary? What?
It looks like you wanna get hurt!
Naruto.
This is a good opportunity to show you a Jutsu.
Watch carefully.
Bastard!
W-Wow!
I went easy on you, but you guys sure are weak.
Are you the legendary...
I'm sorry I broke your stand.
Take this for repairs...
Thanks.
Pops, I'm going to take all of the water balloons and regular ones too, is that okay with you?
I don't mind...
That wasn't just a palm thrust.
What was that Jutsu?
Naruto, come with me. We're going to train.
Yes, sir!
We're finally in training mode.
Here, it's a water balloon.
What about it?
You watched that Jutsu carefully, right?
Yes.
What kind of Jutsu did it look like?
I think the enemy was rotating a lot...
He wasn't looking at the right place, but I guess that's good enough.
Yes, rotation is involved.
He's rotating the water inside the balloon without moving his hand?
With the tree climbing exercise,
you accumulated and maintained a certain amount of chakra in a needed area.
With the water walk exercise, you released a constant amount of chakra.
You did those two previously, correct?
This time, for this water balloon exercise, you're going to create a flow with chakra.
Simply put, a rotation.
Create a flow with chakra?
I'll tell you the details of this Jutsu once you're able to complete the basics.
First, you accumulate and maintain chakra in your hand like the tree climbing exercise.
Next, you release a constant amount of chakra like in the water walk exercise.
Finally, you push and rotate the water inside the water balloon.
These are the things you must do in this exercise.
I get it now!
This training is to create a fast rotation inside the water balloon to pop it, right?
You're getting sharper.
Okay, we're going to train until night.
Yes, sir!
A cycle of hardship, right?
Inside, we were crying, right?
But the one thing we won't give up is the dream we've chosen, right?
It's a secondary role,
a role in the shadows
But in reaching for that dream,
let us stay centered, let us stay true
Over and over, we hung on without giving up
Over and over, we kept coming back up
Over and over, we believed and dreamed
Over and over, we've seen fools
Over and over, we've stood in the shadows of others
Now, it's our turn... Let us bask in our dreams
