Oh

foreign foreign

Oh, why are you asking me all the way?

You sure you want me to take your picture like that? Just do it. Come on

already. Come on. Come on.

Don't blame me later.

Hey, cheese.

My name is Kunahamaru.

At first, you know, I couldn't figure out exactly how to do it.

It took me like three hours to work it out. But, finally, I got it. Like, an

project on my face. Only cooler.

Take it again.

No way!

We can't accept this photo.

Yeah? Well, I'm not doing it again!

That's the sexy jutsu, you say?

Very tricky.

Much too tricky. Don't do it again.

And where is your headband, Naruto?

You're supposed to be wearing it.

Oh, I'm not putting it on until the orientation.

I don't want to mess it up. So, you want your headband nice, but your photo,

which is supposed to identify you, makes you look like a clown.

It's for ninja training and missions, which is the key to your future.

Look at this picture. You can't even tell who it is.

Well, fine.

How am I supposed to know all this complicated stuff anyway?

Oh, man!

I challenge you!

I'm going to defeat you!

My grandson, another headache.

Something tripped me!

Are you okay, honorable grandson?

And by the way, there's nothing here for you to trip on. It's pretty flat.

Who is this shrimp?

It's that kid!

The nine -tailed fox.

Of course, he's the worst kind of troublemaker.

You tripped over your own feet, dork! Hey, you! Take your hands off of him

now! He's the honorable grandson of the honorable Third Hokage!

Hmm?

That's doctrine.

Just like all the rest.

Ha! Now that he knows who I am, he won't dare lay a finger on me.

What's the matter, huh? I thought you were gonna hit me, tough guy!

Afraid cause the Third Hokage is my grandfather?

I don't care if he's your grandmother!

This is not looking good.

Listen carefully.

You are the honorable grandson of the honorable third Hokage.

You cannot let riffraff like this draw you into a fight, even though he

it.

You see, he's far beneath you. You mustn't stoop to his level. As your

ninja trainer, I am never wrong, which means I'm always right. I'm far above

other trainers, so heed my every word.

Your goal is to become the next Hokage, and I can teach you the best way to do

it. Indeed, due to my great skill, I can take you quickly and easily to the top.

But you must always stay close to me.

You understand me? Right, Honorable Grandson?

Where'd he go now?

I think he followed Naruto, but I have no idea where they're going.

He's with Naruto?

That's a disaster!

Honorable Grandson!

How did he grow up to be like that?

My grandson's quite determined.

That was his 20th sneak attack today.

And if he starts running around with Naruto, he's sure to get even worse.

Naruto wouldn't teach him anything really bad, would he?

me, so just give it up.

That's so obvious it's pathetic.

Saw through my disguise, huh? The rumors about you are true. You're good.

All right.

I'll be your apprentice, and you'll be my trainer.

Huh?

And afterward, you've got to show me how to do that sexy choo -choo thing you

did on Grandpa Hokage.

This is some kind of joke, isn't it? No, I need a new trainer. Please, boss.

Huh?

Boss? Yeah, you're the boss.

Boss, boss, boss.

Well, how can I refuse?

Listen, you want to be a master ninja? Then believe it. You've got to learn to

control your catra. Your catra?

A cat?

I said your catra.

Boss, I think you're talking about chakra.

Don't question me. Real ninjas say catra.

Really? I didn't know that. That's cool.

He believes anything I say.

Listen, I'll explain what chakra is. Chakra is the elemental life energy that

used to perform jutsu. Huh?

The ninja arts combine physical energy from each cell in the body with mystical

energy which is intensified through training and experience.

When these two chakra mix, special hand signs allow the ninja to focus this

combined energy for advanced jutsu.

Know -it -all, you were just reading that whole thing!

Yo, you can blab all you want about how to do ninja technique, but it really

comes down to one thing.

What is it?

Just plain hard work and guts.

That's two things, but okay, I'm with you.

All right. I'm going to throw some really big challenges at you now. Are

ready? I'm ready, Bot!

Good. Then let's do it. Show me a transformation.

Huh?

Believe it. Show me what you can do, and I'll take you to the next level.

All right, sure, but what do I transform into?

Uh... Hmm... Hmm...

Right, you can transform into her.

No problem. Here I go, boss.

Transform!

Well, do I look like her?

Uh, look close.

Kind of look like her.

That looks like me?

Now, now, honorable grandson. Next time you transform into me, make me a little

cuter, okay?

Ta -da!

Gary. You did it. Why am I the one that gets whacked around?

All right.

Next, we do some research on female beauty.

Female beauty. Right, boss.

This is not a library, Naruto!

White setback.

Now, this is the last stop, so give it everything you've got, okay?

Everything, right...

Do they only whack me?

Sorry. Huh?

It's cause I'm the grandson of a Hokage.

Hey, don't worry about it.

Huh?

I prepared you, so now you're ready to learn the sexy jutsu.

Believe it, you're just gonna need to practice.

Practice! Alright, boss!

Now the trick is to get all the curves in the right places.

You ready?

Gotta make her skinnier.

Skinnier, right, boss?

Aye. How's that?

No, no, curvier.

Curvier, right, boss? How's that?

Naruto,

what has he done with the honorable grandson?

What's his evil plan?

Where did they go?

I am a jounin, the highest ninja level.

And I'm an elite trainer of future Hokage. Any parasite that leeches onto

student will be squashed.

What's up with this obsession you've got with your grandfather?

My grandfather named me Konohamaru.

After the ancient name of the village.

So it should be easy to remember.

But no one calls me that name. Not one person in the whole village.

That's because when they look at me, they don't really see me. All they see

the honorable grandson of the Lord Hokage.

No one knows who I am.

I can't stand it anymore.

It's like I'm invisible.

Like I don't exist.

I hate that.

That's the reason I've got to become a Hokage now so people know who I am.

Get real.

You think people are going to accept a squirt like you?

A kid can't just turn into a Hokage after a day or two.

What?

It's not that simple.

You keep saying Hokage, Hokage.

To really be a Hokage, you know what you'll have to do?

What? What is it?

You're gonna have to defeat me in battle!

Lord Hokage!

I've been looking for you.

For what purpose?

It's about Naruto.

Did he resubmit his ninja ID photo?

Hmm. You know, I gave him a big lecture the other night at the ramen shop.

But he's still beaming because he became a genin, a ninja trainee. He thinks

that'll change things. That people will stop looking down on him now.

I fear his dream may not come true.

People don't change that easily.

Huh?

The nine -tailed fox is within him. Not everyone knows that, of course. Only

those who fought the beast twelve years ago know the truth.

I decreed that no one could speak about this. Even those who whispered it were

punished severely.

So the children of today know nothing about Naruto's connection to the beast

that ravaged our village and nearly destroyed us all.

As long as the children are unaware of this, Naruto has some hope of being

accepted. That was the wish of the fourth Hokage.

Before he sacrificed himself to save us, he asked that when Naruto grew up, he

should be regarded as a hero.

A hero?

The fourth Hokage defeated the fox by sealing its spirit in a newborn baby

umbilical cord had just been cut.

By containing the fox spirit within his tiny body, Naruto saved the village.

That's why he's a hero.

Unfortunately, many of the villagers don't understand this.

People are driven by fear.

Many think the beast could take over Naruto's body.

Some think he is the beast now.

And their children feel their fear and hatred, and they turn against Naruto as

well.

You know what the ancients said about such things, Iruka?

What's that, sir?

When the people reject someone's very existence and then look at that person,

their eyes become cold. Cold as an ice storm in the deepest winter.

I found you!

The nine -tailed fox.

That icy stare.

They all look at me that way.

So, honorable grandson, time to go home. No way! I'm learning how to beat my

grandfather so I can get the title!

Hokage! Now don't get in my way!

A Hokage is more than just a fighter. He must know virtue, honor, wisdom, and he

must be skilled at a thousand jutsu. You don't even know one jutsu.

Transform!

Huh?

Hi there.

Like my jutsu?

Hey,

he's not defeated.

What kind of scandalous technique is that?

Such tasteless vulgarity can never influence me. I am far above it.

Honorable grandson, stop this right now.

Naruto's turning you into a delinquent. Only my special training can put you on

the fast track to becoming a Hokage.

I'm not impressed.

I'm a Jonin, an elite ninja warrior.

I'm not some lightweight like Mizuki.

Watch how a real ninja defeats him upstairs.

Gotcha! With my harem jutsu!

He's combined shadow cloning with his own invention, the sexy jutsu.

What a foolish ninja technique.

And he could probably get me with it, too.

Really think it's that easy?

Huh?

To be a Hokage, you have to be the greatest of all ninja.

You have to prove yourself so everyone believes in you.

Look at me.

I've been through a lot already.

I've been ignored, pushed away, and treated like I had the plague or

And after all that, I found one person who believes in me.

To find that one person, I had to get knocked down a lot.

So you better make sure that you're ready.

For what?

For lots of sweat and tears while you're learning to be a ninja.

By the way, there is no easy way to becoming Hokage.

Believe it.

If you really want to be a Hokage...

You're gonna have to defeat me in battle!

Ha! Who do you think you are anyway, giving me a big lecture like that?

That's it. I'm not going to be your apprentice anymore.

From now on, we're rivals.

Well,

I can't be your trainer anyway, because tomorrow I'm... I start my advanced

ninja study.

But I accept your challenge, and someday we'll fight for the title of Lord

Hokage.

So let's both look forward to that day, Konohamaru.

He's finally started down the path to becoming a true ninja.

Make them all realize I'm in the mountains.

Never coming down. Breaking through the content.

Never falling down.

My knee is too shaken.

Like I was thrown.

Sneaking out the classroom.

By the back door.

I'm all right. Let me try some.

But I didn't care.

Quitting is wasting.

For people like me.

Don't cry.

Don't try with face of fear, cause you will hate yourself in the end.

Don't try to look so white, don't cry cause you're so right.

Don't try with face of fear, cause you will hate yourself in the end.

Don't try to look so white.

Don't try to feel so white.

Don't try...

Not Sasuke!

I can't stand him! Why do I have to be in his groove?

Sakura keeps calling his name.

Sasuke! Sasuke!

She won't even look at me!

Hey, I know! I'll play a trick on him and fake him out. Hey, Sasuke!

Let's see how cool Sakura thinks you are after that.

Next time, Sasuke and Sakura, friend or foe?
