All right!
The water inside is rotating.
I think I'll be able to pop this easier than I thought!
Then I'll rest for a while until you pop it...
with this to accompany me.
Hey! What is that?
I need it to kill time.
Then I'll take a nap.
At this rate, you won't even have a chance to nap.
Do you really think so?
Wake me up when you pop it, then.
You just wait.
I might master the move today if I can keep this up.
Guts!!!
Pop, water balloon!
Guts!!! Pop, water balloon!
Geez...
Why doesn't it pop?!
Oh, were you able to do it?
Gulp.
Well, how should I explain...? I didn't quite do it, but...
Looks like I had a nice long sleep instead of a short nap.
Hey, hey...
How do I do this so that it'll pop?
I told you that I can't give you any details until the balloon pops.
Fine.
Normally, you are supposed to find out the trick by testing different methods over and over...
and master the know-how of the Jutsu on your own...
And? And?
But I'll give you a little tip for this Jutsu.
Try rotating the water.
Okay.
Clockwise or counterclockwise.
Which direction did you imagine rotating the water?
Um... counterclockwise.
Come here for a second.
Okay.
Just as I thought.
What?
You are a clockwise rotation type.
Clockwise?
To mold chakra, you need to mix two energies...
Chakra
S p i r i t
E n e r g y
B o d y
so everyone unconsciously rotates those energies and molds chakra.
Clockwise
Counterclockwise
During that process, the direction of the rotation, clockwise or counterclockwise,
differs amongst people.
So, for this exercise,
if you imagine the rotational direction opposite of what is within you inside the water balloon...
the flow of chakra will branch and repel, so the rotation doesn't speed up.
You're supposed to figure that out from your senses normally...
But, but how did you find out I was a clockwise-type?
The whorl of hair on your head.
If your whorl is clockwise, then you're a clockwise-type.
If it's counterclockwise, you're a counterclockwise-type.
Easy, isn't it?
So my whorl is clockwise.
Yeah.
So when you imagine the rotation, imagine a clockwise rotation.
I was never concerned about such a thing before, so...
But this Jutsu is very suited for you.
You don't have to form any seals. You only need chakra...
so there's no need to remember any tedious seal formations.
Even an idiot can do this.
I'm not an idiot!
I'm the man who's going to become the Hokage one day!
This is going to be easy now that I know the trick.
I can master this Jutsu in three days, now!
Three days, eh?
This is a Ninjutsu that the Fourth Hokage left.
It took three whole years for the Fourth to complete this Jutsu.
This Jutsu's difficulty is ranked second highest out of six levels.
It's an A-rank super-high Ninjutsu level.
To master this Jutsu, you need to go through a three-step training regimen.
This water balloon popping exercise is the first step.
The genius ninja, the Fourth...
took three years?
But then again, there's no point in explaining any more to a guy
who can't even complete the first step.
You try on your own, now.
I'll go back to the city.
I have to gather some information.
What will you do?
A-rank difficulty to master...
The Ninjutsu that the Fourth left...
I won't go back yet.
Later, then. Don't overwork yourself.
Now, what will happen?
It worries me a bit...
Mister.
Would you like to come in?
This month, we're offering special service.
Special service?!
Just come in and you'll benefit from the hot deal.
Here's the stamp card.
Stamp card
We'll service you plenty.
I'll go, I'll go!
Hey, Shun! We're going down.
Hey, hey... Where's the toilet?
I don't have time to waste three years.
All right!
I'm going to work hard on my training today!
Pop... Pop. Pop, pop, pop!
Why isn't it popping?
Jira-chan, you pervert!
Men are all perverts!
Damn it!
It's been three days already since I heard the trick from Ero-Sennin.
The rubber is stretching out a lot, but why isn't it popping?
What am I doing differently than Ero-Sennin?
Very nice. Very nice.
Oh...
Smells like alcohol.
Time to eat.
Huh?
What the...
Geez!
Damn it, why?
...so there's no need to remember any tedious seal formations.
Even an idiot can do this.
Even if I don't have to form any seals...
That's...
That's not your toy.
This is it!
Wake up already.
Hey, Ero-Sennin!
Good...
Good timing. Bring me some water.
Water?
I've cleared the first step.
Cleared?
Then show me.
All right.
Watch closely.
He's using his left hand?
Go!
All right!
See? See?
He's sleeping!
Sorry, sorry...
I'm tired from the information gathering I've been doing these past few days and nights.
That's really doubtful...
He still smells like alcohol.
But... I'm impressed he came up with the idea of holding the water balloon in his left hand...
and hitting it with his right hand multiple times to rotate the water inside.
It's a weird idea, but interesting.
Yes, yes... Good job for coming up with the idea.
It's all thanks to me.
It's thanks to him.
I saw him playing with the water balloon, and noticed something.
Since he hit it with his front legs so many times...
the water inside was rotating in multiple directions.
Then an idea struck me.
What kind of idea?
I remembered that when you first popped the balloon for me,
the water balloon had a lot of bumps on it.
Until now, I've been rotating the water in only one direction.
I realized that your water balloon became bumpy because...
you were rotating the water inside in many directions, Ero-Sennin.
So, after thinking up some ideas, it popped.
It looks like he still can't make his chakra rotate randomly with one hand...
but he thought of a good idea.
I rule.
You've completed the first step for now.
All right!
Do you want me to show you again? Again?
Overuse of chakra must be hurting his chakra circulatory system now.
But the next step won't be so easy.
Okay, now we'll start with the second step.
Yeah!
I can finally do some real training, now!
Here.
A rubber ball?
Another boring exercise?
This time, you have to pop this.
It's about 100 times tougher than the water balloon.
It's tough...
The first step emphasized rotation.
The second step emphasizes power.
Since there's no water inside, it's hard to imagine the rotation of chakra...
so it's difficult to rotate your chakra.
That's true.
Keep that in mind.
I need to find out the trick for it again?
Now then, I'll go gather some information.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Let's train together, since we haven't done that in a while!
You can take a nap here.
Don't demand attention like that.
Maybe you have the wrong idea here.
I said that I would teach you a Jutsu,
but I have no obligation to teach you one on one.
If you can't do it yourself, that's it for you.
Stop acting like a kid, and act more like a professional ninja!
Then... Then...
Can you at least teach me the trick again like before?
Money.
"Act more like a professional ninja"?!
You're just a dirty and greedy grown-up yourself!
You're not a professional ninja at all!
This is way harder than when I did it with the water balloon.
And...
my hands and arms hurt.
Damn it...
How many days have I been repeating the same thing over and over?
This Jutsu's difficulty is ranked second highest out of six levels.
Don't demand attention like that.
Maybe you have the wrong idea here.
Damn it...
Hey, Naruto.
Why did you come here?
Buy me some food down at the city.
What? Why me?
You're a trainee learning a Jutsu from me, you know.
Here you go.
Thank you, old man.
He teaches me nothing, but he acts like a teacher at times like this.
Dad, dad, buy me ice cream!
I want this one! The one that breaks in two!
Here.
What? I can eat both.
No.
Mom is waiting at home with the meal she made.
Okay!
Hey...
Can you supervise my training just a bit today?
I don't have time for that. I have to head for the city right after this.
If you don't think and grasp the trick on your own...
you'll never master this.
I told you three weeks ago...
Don't seek attention like a kid.
You're a ninja.
I don't need you to remind me of that, I already know!
I just asked on a whim.
Leave already, Ero-Sennin!
Oh, Jira-chan, you!
You lie!
Don't be silly. It's all the truth!
Damn it! It won't pop no matter how much I try!
I'm only leaking out chakra like this.
Also,
the more chakra I transfer into the ball, the more pain I feel.
This thing won't pop unless I make the chakra explode in the blink of an eye!
That's it.
I can tell how much chakra is flowing because of the pain.
Then...
I'll bear with the pain until it's unbearable and make it...
Not yet... Not yet...
Not yet...
Keep storing the chakra...
Now!
This hurts like hell!
Oh? Looks like you made some progress.
I only made a hole in it, and it didn't pop like a balloon.
Don't act so tough.
Here.
Good job coming this far on your own.
This is good.
Yes.
I know, let's try something.
Try what? What?
Show me your right hand.
What's this?
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
