Konoha Hospital
Sasuke-kun...
My arms!
Are you okay, Orochimaru-sama?
You must take your medicine, quickly.
I just came back, and I need to clean the room already?
Please take your medicine.
I don't need your useless medicine.
It's the medicine I made.
It should ease your pain a little.
This burning pain in my arms...
I didn't think it would be this painful.
It is the last curse of Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, after all...
Shut up with your explanations.
More importantly, have you found "that person"?
Yes.
It seems "that person" is in a place called Tanzaku City.
Tanzaku City...
I see...
But that person is one of the legendary Sannin.
It isn't going to be so easy...
The best medicines are the bitter ones.
Look.
It's the same mark, but how is this going to help?
You're the type of guy who got scolded for not being able to concentrate, right?
That doesn't matter now.
Look at this piece of paper.
I looked at it.
Okay, look at it again.
What about it?
It's not something I should go to great lengths to explain...
but when you looked at the plain white piece of paper, you just glanced at the entire sheet, right?
Probably.
Then where did you look when I showed this?
You most likely stared at the dot here.
When humans look at a plain white sheet...
they don't know where to look...
and their eyes wander.
But, if you put a dot in the middle, a person concentrates on that area.
It's called focusing on a dot.
When a person concentrates on something, his mind stabilizes...
and he is able to extract unimaginable power.
When you opened a hole in that rubber ball...
you should've been desperately accumulating as much chakra as possible in your right hand.
Yeah! Yeah!
When you concentrate, you extract more power.
But it's hard to concentrate without some sort of mark.
This is where this thing comes in.
Listen up, Naruto.
When you try to accumulate chakra in your palm try to concentrate your mind on that mark.
Concentrate...
Okay, I'll do it!
The Konoha mark and forehead protector
The Konoha mark and forehead protector.
Concentrate...
This won't do.
It needs to go "pop"!
Concentrate...
Excuse me, I want to ask you something.
Damn it.
Concentrate...
It's not working...
Damn it...
What does it mean to concentrate?
Curse you, Sarutobi!
I'll be going now. I have to go gather information again.
But you just got here.
I don't have any time to waste.
Hey, hey!
Isn't there going to be any master-apprentice bonding over a game of catch-ball?
Damn it!
Strike!
There, catch-ball is over.
See you later.
I'll just forget about Ero-Sennin and work hard on my own.
Naruto, you have to do this training alone.
You have the potential to become like the Fourth. Figure out the trick by yourself.
Never seen her.
Really...
I'm sorry to have bothered you.
I've seen her...
and I know where she is right now.
I'll buy you a drink.
No need.
We made a fortune off of her.
Just what we expected from the Legendary Sucker!
She lost again?
She lost badly, so she said she was going to go somewhere else.
Where to?
Tanzaku City. One of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade-sama, is staying there.
I can finally do something about these arms...
Although, she may be good medicine, she's going to be more than bitter.
Don't worry.
Tanzaku City
Seven, seven, seven...
Seven! Seven, seven...
Seven, seven, seven...
Seven... Seven...
Jackpot!
Congratulations, patron!
Number 44 is on fire right now!
Now, please win more!
Unusual things do happen, Tsunade-sama.
I got three sevens?
That's incredible, lady!
Yes, very impressive.
I want some of her luck.
Again!
She got another one!
Hurray! You are hot!
I'm winning so much...
I have a bad feeling about this.
I also know a little about Tsunade-sama.
I was part of the medical squad, after all.
I know that she was the first one who came up with the proposal...
to have a medical specialist in a four-man squad.
That was a landmark in history.
What would happen to a combat squad if there was no one to administer emergency treatment on the battlefield?
The result is quite obvious.
The countless wars...
brought about many advances.
They were made possible by the many sacrifices.
When a person loses something, he is able to realize its importance.
And what created one of the Legendary Sannin, who has been praised as a medical specialist...
were the sacrifices.
It's not working...
I need to concentrate more.
Concentrate, concentrate.
Concentrate!
Concentrate...
Concentrate on one point.
Strike!
That idiotic, perverted face keeps coming up! I can't concentrate!
Well, well...
Looks like some gal is talking about me somewhere.
Pachinko - Pinball Parlor
Tsunade-sama, please wait.
What happened? It's like a miracle for you to win this much, Tsunade-sama...
but you look so gloomy.
This city...
I have a bad feeling about this place.
We're going to leave.
What? But this place is a tourist resort.
Let's go look at the castles and enjoy the place...
Then go take a look so we can leave quickly.
Wait, Tsunade-sama!
Orochimaru-sama!
Let's finish this business quickly...
even if we have to get a little rough.
I have to do this...
Ouch!
Ow...
I can't mold any chakra with this pain...
Is he at his limit now?
A little more...
I'm going to rest a little more.
Hey!
Class is still in session!
You idiots!
You guys... You guys lack concentration!
You can't become excellent ninjas at this rate!
I can't just stay put at a desk.
Right, Akamaru?
I'm hungry...
Sensei, please keep your lecture short.
You guys...
I'm going to have an after school class to improve your concentration!
What?
What's this?
What you're about to do is what generations of Konoha ninjas have practiced to hone their concentration.
This exercise is to concentrate all of your energy on the leaf on your head...
and mold up chakra.
It's an old tradition to concentrate on just the leaf so that your mind doesn't get distracted.
Only those who've worked hard on their concentration can become excellent ninjas.
The Konoha (Leaf) emblem on the head protector comes from that.
That sounds fake.
Are you lying to try and motivate us?
It's not fake! It's true.
Are you able to become an excellent ninja just by working hard on your concentration?
An excellent ninja is one who's strong.
That makes sense.
This is what I think of this...
Goodbye, Sensei!
Hey, wait up, you guys!
Yeah right!
Don't have time to do that!
Hey!
You ungrateful idiots!
This is the same thing...
I should've listened to Iruka-sensei more.
I'm such an idiot.
Reflecting on my actions won't change anything.
Okay, I'll do this!
Concentrate, concentrate.
Concentrate!
Wow!
Tanzaku Castle is impressive!
I can see why it was classified as a cultural landmark.
Don't be so carefree.
We're leaving the city.
Tsunade-sama, please take a closer look at it. It's free to look at.
Tsunade-sama?
What's this chill I feel?
Now!
What a guy.
He accumulated chakra to the point that it burned his hand...
This guy is full of surprises.
It popped.
Okay, it looks like the second step is complete.
Let's start the third step...
That will have to wait.
We're going to meet Tsunade now.
That's...
Orochimaru!
I found you.
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
