Oh

Thank you.

Who do you think you are?

Good morning, everyone.

Here.

Oh, thank you.

Naruto's not here.

Looks like he was out all night again.

He's gone completely crazy. He's out climbing trees in the dark.

He could be dead by now. You know, from using up too much of his chakra.

Well, I certainly hope he's okay.

A child spending the night in the woods alone.

There's nothing to worry about.

Naruto's a goofy kid, but he's also a full -fledged ninja.

He can handle himself.

Sakura's right.

Naruto's such a loser.

He's probably lying out there dead somewhere.

i'm going for a walk but we just started eating

You'll catch cold if you sleep here. Wake up.

Who the heck are you?

Oh, uh, uh, I mean, hi there. Where did you come from? You know, what

are you doing out here and all that?

I'm gathering herbs.

Herbs?

Yeah, that's right.

They're for treating illnesses and healing wounds.

You start work early, huh, sis?

I like it early. It's calm, but I didn't think I'd find anyone sleeping out here

in the woods.

I'm training.

So are you a ninja?

Because I noticed that headband you're wearing.

Or are you just making a fashion statement?

You noticed that? All right.

Only super cool ninja can wear these.

Oh, really?

I see. That's very impressive.

But does that mean you're training for something dangerous?

I'm just developing my skills so I can get stronger.

You seem very strong now. Isn't that enough?

No, no. I need to get stronger and stronger. I have to keep practicing.

How so?

Why is it so important?

So I can become the best ninja in my village.

Then everyone will know who I am and they'll all respect me.

There's also a certain person, a kid, that I have to prove something to.

So are you doing it for this certain person?

Or are you doing all this training for yourself?

Huh?

What are you laughing about? What's so funny?

Is there someone who's precious to you?

Someone who?

What are you saying, sis? What do you mean precious?

What's she thinking?

You see, when a person has something precious that they want to protect, then

they become genuinely strong.

Hmm?

Hmm.

This is our village, so we've got to do everything we can to help.

I'll protect you with my life.

All of you.

If you ever lay a hand on my sensei.

I'll kill you.

Yeah, I hear you. I know exactly what you're saying.

You will get strong.

Very strong.

Goodbye. We'll meet again sometime.

Oh, by the way, I'm a boy.

weird things in my life before, but this one takes a kick.

Ow! Hey, what did you do that for? Hey, Torb. Cut it out! Did you just forget

about breakfast?

You're such a loser.

Naruto?

Knowing Naruto, he could be anywhere.

And Sasuke hasn't come back either. I wonder where they are.

Whoa. Naruto can climb that high now using his chakra?

That's great.

What do you think? High enough for you guys?

I mean, it's a long way down, huh?

You guys really fell for it!

We were worried about you, Naruto!

I'm gonna strangle you!

You dork! Why do I think this is going to end badly?

Naruto. Hmm.

Naruto Uzumaki, huh?

You're recovering quickly.

Just a little longer, Haku.

Yes.

Let's go back.

All right.

Now they're both late. I wouldn't have expected that from Sasuke.

What have you been up to? You look like something the cat dragged in.

We both made it. We climbed all the way to the top.

Good.

Now we move on.

Starting tomorrow, you're both bodyguards for Tazna.

All right!

You were such a loser.

In a few more days, the bridge will be finished.

I have you to thank for that. You've all done great, but you've still got to be

careful.

I've been meaning to ask you this, but I haven't had the chance until now.

Why did you stay and protect me, even after you found out I lied to bring you

here? Those who stray from the path of justice have no courage.

But under the wing of a strong leader, cowardice cannot survive.

Huh?

That was a quote from the first Hokage.

If you care about something, keep trying. Protect it with both arms.

Inari, don't cry.

But why?

What'd you say?

All this... Stupid training is just a waste of time.

Kato's got a whole army. They'll beat you down and they'll destroy you.

These cool things you all say, they don't mean anything.

No matter what you do, the strong always win and the weak always lose.

Just speak for yourself.

It won't be like that for me. You got that? Why don't you be quiet? Just

at you makes me sick.

about this country, you're just butting in.

Always laughing and playing around.

You don't know what it's like to suffer and be treated like dirt.

Listen to yourself whining and complaining like some sorry little

You can whimper all day for all I care.

You're nothing but a coward.

Naruto, you went too far.

Can I talk to you?

Naruto can be a little harsh sometimes, but he doesn't hate you.

Your grandfather told us what happened to your father.

You probably don't know this, but Naruto also grew up without a father.

In fact, he never knew either of his parents, and he didn't have a single

in our village.

Still,

I've never seen him cry, sulk, or give up.

He's always eager to jump in.

He wants to be respected.

That's his dream.

And he'll put his life on the line for that, in a heartbeat.

My guess is he just got tired of crying and decided to do something about it.

Even though he's young and still learning, he knows what it means to be

Like your father did.

I think he knows better than any of us what you're going through.

What Naruto told you earlier?

As cruel as it sounded, he's probably told himself that a thousand times.

Okay, I leave Naruto in your hands.

He's pushed his body to the limit, overdoing it as usual, so he may not be

to move today at all.

What about you? You're still recovering yourself.

Why, do I look wobbly? I'll be okay. Come on, let's go.

Still wasting time licking your wounds? I hired you to do a job, you know!

Are you listening, Zabuza?

Hey!

Haku, you ready?

Yeah.

Oh, Naruto.

Your sensei wanted to let you rest. You got the day off.

I knew it! They ditched me!

See ya!

They could have woken me up!

What the heck is this?

What happened?

Someone was here. Someone got to them.

Could it be?

Sasuke, Sakura, get ready.

I knew he was still alive.

He just couldn't wait for round two.

Kakashi -sensei, it's Zabuza, isn't it? This is his hidden misjutsu.

Sorry I kept you waiting, Kakashi.

I see you've still got those brats with you.

That one's still trembling.

Pitiful.

I'm trembling with excitement.

Go on, Sasuke.

Ooh,

so you could see they were water clones, huh?

The breath's improving.

Looks like you've got a rival, Haku.

So it seems.

mountain, never coming down, breaking through the content, never falling down.

My knee is too shaken, like I was proud, sneaking out the classroom, by the back

door, a moral of me tried so, but I didn't care, quitting is wasting, for

like me, don't try.

Okay,

so I slept late. Don't think I'm going to miss the action because of that.

Whoa, Inari, look at you.

You're getting brave, partner.

Well, your dad was a big hero, so maybe it's your turn now.

Wait a minute.

And survive this one, I'll have to kick butt like never before!
