And now I'll tell you what your mission is going to be.

Okay, Team 5, you will transport a plate that's been designated as a national

treasure.

We're going to deliver that?

Whoa, this is making me super nervous.

Jeff, leave it to me.

Hey,

uh, what's that you're wearing?

Oh, you mean this?

It is an arcane necklace that cures anxiety.

With this, you can wave goodbye to nervousness.

Now, let us go, guys!

How many times have I lost sight of myself, lost in the days I've been lost

the days I've been

lost

We're gonna do it.

You're back already?

The same second I handed it to him, he got all nervous.

And right away, he dropped it on the ground.

I am sorry.

Then that thing didn't work at all.

It did not happen because of anxiety!

My hand just slipped, that is all!

But why did you even start wearing it in the first place, Metal?

Oh, it is just that I have some important training coming up. And I

cannot be nervous during it. So I bought this to help me with that.

You're saying that you seriously believe something like that is going to work

for you?

Eight inner gates. First gate of opening.

Let us begin.

Opening the eight inner gates allows you to remove all of your limits and

acquire enormous power.

There are eight places, or gates, that control the chakra flowing inside your

body. What you just witnessed is the result of opening the first of these

It is the only technique I can pass on to you, since I have no ninjutsu.

I thought it was time to teach you.

So this is it? The ultimate taijutsu technique?

I will finally be learning it?

But remember, as I told you before, the more gates that you open, the greater

the toll this technique takes on your body.

My own master, Guy Sensei, sustained grave injuries over his whole body from

technique's effects.

But understanding this technique will not just be about enduring the harshest

training. You will also have to face the very core of your being.

Are you truly prepared to do that?

Just hold on a minute. I leave it to you. What is wrong?

Oh, yes, of course I am.

Hmm, what is that necklace that you are wearing?

Oh, you mean this?

It is just something that cures anxiety.

Anxiety? I absolutely cannot afford to become nervous while undertaking this

training, so I found this online.

It makes me feel really great.

Ah, Metal.

Perhaps you are not ready.

I am postponing the Eight Inner Gate training.

It seems that it is a little too soon for you.

But why?

Until you yourself realize why.

There is nothing at all that I can teach you.

Papa?

Why did Papa say that to me?

All right, then. I must do something about my anxiety.

It's still morning, and the power of youth is ablazing you.

Sorry,

sorry. I was doing my rehab when I saw you looking troubled.

Guy Sensei?

Is that you, Metal?

Wow, look at you. You're all grown up. Uh, yes.

Uh, but Metal, what's the matter?

What's with the long face?

Well, uh, you see... I see.

So it's the eight inner dates, huh?

Yes, sir.

I messed up.

Papa's disgusted at how I always get nervous so fast.

Yes, I understand.

Hey, Metal.

If you're free, I'd like you to come and hang out with me today.

Huh? Come along.

I'm on my way to teach at the academy right now.

And maybe you'll pick up a hint or two about your issue.

So, let's go.

Uh, sure.

Hmm?

Curious, huh?

I am sorry. It is just... No, it's fine.

Thanks to all the help I've been getting, I've been able to focus on my

And now I can move even better, though only for a short time.

And yet here I am, worrying about my anxiety.

You truly are amazing, Gai -sensei.

Amazing! You certainly train well. Of course I have! The least I should be

capable of!

If I am ever going to have any hope of mastering the eight inner gates!

We are running

late because of my anxiety.

Maybe one of these necklaces is not enough.

I think that I had better go buy another one.

I still can't believe it. Guy, he's a war hero.

Getting to hear him talk is going to be unbelievably exciting.

Why are you here even though you are not students anymore?

He will be a big fan of Guy in case you couldn't tell.

Hey, hold up, Becky.

Don't you want to hear him talk too?

Yeah, I do. Of course I do.

You haven't changed a bit, Iwabe.

Now then, you remember the difference between ninjutsu and taijutsu?

Yeah, sure I do.

Ninjutsu goes boom!

I mean, you know, it has force, and then... Good grief.

Often, ninjutsu is viewed as the most essential skill for shinobi. But in

reality, taijutsu is just as important.

That's because... Without relying on chakra or seals, one can swiftly counter

against an enemy.

Isn't that right?

Correct.

The truth is, I'm not all that great at Taijutsu. That's why I want to learn

more about it. And that's why I came.

I like your spirit.

I'm sure that just listening to my lecture will make you stronger.

Yeah, I'll listen real close.

And I am hoping that I will learn some kind of hint that will help me conquer

anxiety.

Of course, Ninjutsu is important.

However... Because I worked hard to hone my Taijutsu, I was able to fight side

by side with Naruto during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Without a doubt, we

facing the strongest foe that we ever faced.

And his name was... It was... I

forgot! Of course, I did suffer some losses.

But still, we were able to protect what we valued the most.

So in the end, I have no regrets.

Gai -sensei, thank you for your inspiring lecture.

All right, do any of you have any questions?

Um, really? You don't have any regrets at all?

Nope, none.

It may sound funny to say, but it's thanks to these legs that I can still

persevere. Instead of lamenting the way things are, confronting the truth and

embracing it makes people become even stronger.

I truly believe that.

Okay, how about a Taijutsu demonstration?

Can he really do that?

Please don't worry.

Now then, I'm going to ask you two to volunteer.

Two of us against you, Mr. Guy?

Are you sure about that? With your leg?

Of course. You heard me earlier. I'm more agile now than ever before.

All right.

Honestly, two against one is nothing.

Now, let's get started.

They're all staring!

It depends on him.

That's the match. The winner is Gai -sensei.

Wow, amazing.

He did that all on one leg.

Wow, war heroes truly are incredible.

What's the matter, Metal? You seem kind of depressed.

Gai -sensei, you are so awesome.

Hmm?

You faced up to your handicap, and in doing so, you conquered it. Compared to

you, I... I am just not able to conquer my anxiety.

And I am certain that is why my papa is disgusted by my weakness.

That's not true, Metal.

Huh?

I'm sure you know just what Lee's intention truly was.

Huh?

Consider this. How does one go about facing the truth?

I suggest you think about that once again.

Eight inner gates.

The first gate.

Consider this. How does one go about facing the truth?

I suggest you think about that once again.

So then this is... No, unless I have this, I cannot control my anxiety.

I have to have this.

Lee.

Guy Sensei.

Metal has been in a constant state of worry lately.

He's experiencing the springtime of his youth.

Yes, I must apologize.

I am very sorry you got involved in all of this.

It's me you're talking to here.

You don't have to be so formal.

But seriously, what do you plan on doing with him?

Well, I cannot simply keep depending on you, Gai -sensei.

From here on, I will have to face Metal in my own way somehow.

I can't believe it. And we were so close to capturing the thief, too.

I am sorry.

It was my fault.

Yeah, you got that right.

There's no doubt it was because of you.

The way those things jangled, it was like we were just telling everyone right

where we were.

I know.

That may be true.

But if I do not have them... Metal!

Papa?

What is going on?

Metal, I hereby challenge you.

You're challenging him?

Tomorrow morning, the academy training grounds.

Just hold on a second.

This is so sudden. If you wish to master the eight inner gates, accept the

challenge. But be aware that I am inviting people to watch.

Why?

What is it? Too nervous to try?

If you cannot do it, then give up now.

If you are not able to face this challenge, you ever mastering the eight

gates is inconceivable.

Oh, and if you can manage to hit me just one time, then you will win.

That's quite a predicament you're in.

Gai -sensei.

What now? What do I do?

Look, Mantle, does your anxiety really scare you that much?

The fact of the matter is, you're simply someone who gets anxious.

I believe that's the real and true you.

And facing up to what your true self is, the person that you are now should be

able to figure out what that means.

You think metal's coming?

Metal.

You did not run away from this challenge.

I misjudged you.

Gai -sensei is... He's confronting himself.

by going through his rehabilitation.

I, however, I relied on a ridiculous necklace and tried to run away from my

anxiety.

But now I see that what is important is not to get rid of my anxiety, but to

confront it and accept it.

And that is why I will not run away from it anymore.

I made an oath to myself.

So right here, right now.

I will prove my oath!

So let us do this right now!

You finally understand it.

Very well, then. Let us put to the test just how well you can do battle when you

acknowledge your anxiety.

like me could not possibly master the eight in our case.

Is that right?

But still, one thing I can do is prove I

will not run from my anxiety!

Yes, Bethel.

That's it.

You're so... I will not go easy.

Those movements, they're from...

moves are so erratic i cannot

I am going to begin my training all over again.

One day, I am sure that I will be able to master the eight inner gates you have

started. That hit you landed was so strong because you opened the first

Huh? I bet that extreme anxiety you felt produced an absolutely unbelievable

amount of adrenaline.

And that allowed you to open the first gate.

And to mess with your opponent the way you did.

You're moved.

They were just so unpredictable.

I sure kept Lee off balance.

Seems that I was right after all.

Huh?

Yes. That facing yourself makes you strong.

Gai -sensei!

You guys, now this is the spirit of you!

This feels so nostalgic, Gai -sensei!

All right, you two. Now it's time for us to do 3 ,000...

Hey,

wait.

It's gone. What did you do with that weird necklace you had?

Oh, I do not need that thing anymore.

Now I know the anxious me is the genuine me.

Well,

a lot of stuff happened.

It was amazing, huh?

All right, Team 5. Your mission is to deliver this vase a national treasure.

Please do your best not to break it this time.

Just calm down, okay?

Just stay calm.
