Original subtitles

THIRD HOKAGE (VOICEOVER): Iruka.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): What is it, Lord Hokage?

THIRD HOKAGE (VOICEOVER): I know how you feel.

You grew up just like Naruto, without knowing

the love of a mother and father.

Because of the Nine-Tails attack most people

won't even look at him.

That's why he gets into so much trouble all the time.

So that people will be forced to notice him.

He just wants his existence to be acknowledged,

no matter what form it takes.

The final wish that the Fourth Hokage

made before he sacrificed himself to save our village

was for Naruto to one day be seen as a hero.

[cheering]

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): Lord Third, Lord Fourth,

[cheering]

MAN: Naruto!

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): There is a hero right before our eyes.

-Yeah!

-Hip-hip-hooray!

WHITE ZETSU (VOICEOVER): I never imagined that someone

as powerful as Pain would be defeated.

BLACK ZETSU (VOICEOVER): We've gotta tell Tobi about this.

Let's go.

OMOI: What do we do?

-Oh, come on.

What are you kidding me?

You're getting tired already?

We only just left the village.

-Not that.

I was thinking about how Lord Raikage was when we left.

-Listen.

We shall rescue Bee no matter what.

We will save him!

-Lord Raikage.

-What if Lord Raikage is still crying even now,

and his tears are dripping down, and creating a pond,

and then making it larger and larger until it becomes

a big lake, and what if when we return to the village,

it becomes all wet like the Hidden Rain?

What do we do then?

-Ugh.

Come on.

Give it a rest, would you?

Something like that is impossible, and you know it is.

Tears can't create a lake, no matter how hard somebody cries.

-Maybe for normal person, but we're

talking about Lord Raikage.

Just think of the awesome amount of power he has.

He could cry himself a lake in no time.

Actually, let's forget I even mentioned a lake.

I bet that he could cry up an entire ocean.

And if a giant wave from that ocean swallowed us

up, what do we do then?

What are we gonna--

-Shut up!

Stop!

Listening to you go on and on completely wears me out.

OMOI: I could understand Samui getting tired because

of the way that those gigantic breasts of hers--

but how are you tired?

You have no breasts.

-Shut up!

-Look.

Enough of this, you two.

We're just starting out on our mission here.

It'll be days before we reach the Leaf Village.

Do you really plan on keeping this up all day?

We can't afford to keep wasting time like this.

Now let's move out.

-Right.

[theme music]

IRUKA: Such devastation.

-Guess you'll be teaching outside for a while.

-Let's see if we can salvage anything.

Something for the class.

-Yes.

That's a good idea.

-All right.

Let's spread out then.

Scatter.

-This place is a wreck too.

But this tree- it survived.

-Here goes!

Bombs away!

Hahaha!

Bullseye!

Operation Red Nose Hokage is complete!

Woohoo!

-He's incorrigible.

IRUKA: Lord Hokage, please, I need to think about this.

I don't know about becoming Naruto's teacher.

-As you know, nearly every single person in this village

is troubled by Naruto's mischief,

and his irksome pranks are becoming

more and more troublesome each and every day.

No one wants to take him on as a student.

I believe that a teacher's job is

to enhance each student's inherent virtues.

Now listen, if Naruto is not able to graduate from

the Academy, he cannot become a ninja.

He'll remain an outcast in this village

for the rest of his life.

-Surely someone else is a better fit.

-If he cannot find a teacher, then I'll have no other choice

but to expel Naruto from the Academy.

Just forget about it.

No one's going to blame you for how you feel.

And even if we do have to kick him out,

it certainly wouldn't be your fault.

-Please, wait.

-What's that?

Then you've decided to take the job?

-Uh-- well fine.

-Oh.

Excellent.

That's really good to hear.

You've no idea how much good this will do Naruto.

-And keep wiping until every speck of that graffiti is gone.

-Look.

It's that-- that kid.

-Why do they even let that boy stay in the village anyway?

-Lord Hokage should have more consideration for us.

-Shut up!

-Hey!

Come back here.

-I'm not "that kid."

I'm Naruto Uzumaki.

And-- and I'm going to be Hokage one day.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): It was just a dream.

[yawn]

-What?

Oh yeah.

That's right.

I almost forgot I start a new class today.

Well, you never get a second chance

to make a good first impression.

I gotta give him the greeting that he deserves.

[giggling]

-Another day, another chance to raise some hell!

KIBA: Come on, Akamaru.

Hey.

Where you going?

Come on.

-Iruka-sensei.

So you volunteered to be Naruto's new teacher, huh?

-That's right.

The Third Hokage asked, so I couldn't say no.

-It looks like you got the short end of the stick, I'm afraid.

-Frankly, I've been feeling a bit lost.

I don't how to do this.

-Well, he sure is a handful.

Listen.

Take my advice.

You don't have to give him the same attention

you give your other students.

-What do you mean?

-Just don't make a big fuss about it every time he acts up.

I've found that if you can ignore them,

bothersome kids tend to go away all on their own.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): All right.

I'll take your advice.

-Who did this?

Of all the juvenile pranks!

Whoa!

[giggling]

-I got you!

That eraser was nothing but a decoy!

And you totally fell for it, too!

-Naruto!

-You don't have to give them the same attention

you give your other students.

-Naruto.

-Yeah.

I know.

Go stand in the hallway.

-No.

Go and take your seat.

-Huh?

-What a letdown.

I was sure he'd get yelled at.

I was kind of looking forward it to to tell you the truth.

-This place is so boring.

-Good morning.

First allow me to introduce myself.

Starting today, I'm your new homeroom teacher, Iruka Umino.

My favorite food is each Ichiraku Ramen,

and my least favorite food is mixed rice.

I was born on May 26th, so I'm a Gemini.

My hobbies include going--

IRUKA: Therefore, a person's chakra

is greatly influenced by that person's mental energy.

-Just don't make a big fuss about it every time he acts up.

-Hold on.

Sensei, isn't it already time from class to be over?

-What?

-Just look.

See for yourself.

-Oh.

I didn't realize it was so late.

Well then, that's everything for today.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[giggle]

-I knew he'd fall for that old trick.

That makes break number three.

Boy, that smarts.

But how did you figure it out so quickly?

-Just return to your seat, and we'll continue.

All right, everyone.

Instead of just introducing yourselves, I want each of you

to demonstrate your skill with ninjutsu.

[whining]

-Don't worry.

You're not going to be graded on this.

It's merely so I can assess where you are in your studies,

and plan how to proceed with our lessons.

OK.

We'll start off with a basic Clone Jutsu then.

And the first up is Sasuke Uchiha.

Wanna give it a shot?

[girls cheering]

-Hmph.

Using Clone Jutsu is even easier than child's play.

-Why do you always have to act so smug all the time?

It's so annoying!

-Just shut up, you loser.

-Leave Sasuke alone.

You'll break his concentration.

-Yeah.

That's right.

You're just in the way, loser.

-Aw, come on.

Not you too, Sakura.

IRUKA: OK, Sasuke.

Give it a try.

-Ha.

Clone Jutsu.

-Wow.

SAKURA: Amazing, Sasuke.

It's a perfect Clone Jutsu.

I can't tell which one's real and which one's fake!

NARUTO: Oh, please!

It's totally obvious to me!

This one!

-Wrong, as usual.

-Huh?

What?

-Blockhead!

Back off.

That's the real Sasuke!

-Hey!

Get away from him.

SASUKE: Looks like you picked wrong again.

-Oh, Sasuke.

-That's amazing.

Two clones at once, while the real Sasuke moved away unseen.

-So what?

I can do Clone Jutsu too.

Watch this.

Clone Jutsu!

[laughter]

-That kid can't do anything right.

-Listen.

I don't know what your problem is, loser.

But just stay away from me.

You got that?

SHINO: All you're doing is interrupting our lesson.

You're wasting the time of everyone

here and becoming an annoyance.

-What?

-He's right.

But you're not just becoming an annoyance.

That's all you've ever been, or will be.

-Hey.

That's cruel, Hibachi, but sometimes the truth hurts.

-What?

Why you!

-Listen up!

Stop ganging up on Naruto.

-Sensei.

-Leave him alone.

Just ignore him.

All right, everyone.

Come on.

We still have a class to finish.

CLASS: Yes, sensei.

KIBA: Come on, Akamaru.

BOY: Naruto's such a drag.

[sigh]

NARUTO: I'll show them.

I'll show them all.

I'm just as good as they are!

Clone Jutsu!

Damn it!

OK.

One more try.

[groaning]

HINATA (VOICEOVER): Oh.

Naruto.

-What's the matter, Naruto?

-Oh.

It's nothing.

-I see.

Want some ramen?

-I can't pay.

-Just pay me back when you're rich.

Besides, the stove's still on.

-You really mean it?

-You bet.

-Yes!

You're the best!

TEUCHI: You seem kind of down.

Is something wrong?

NARUTO: It's nothing.

Really.

I'm the same as always.

-All right, kids.

Today we're hands-on with Shuriken Jutsu.

First, let's have someone demonstrate it for us.

Let's see.

Um--

NARUTO: Oo!

Oo!

Oo!

Me, me me!

KIBA: Leave it to me!

I can do it in one try.

I know it!

NARUTO: Sensei, I'm right here!

Oh come on.

Why won't you look?

-Shino, you go ahead.

SHINO: Iruka-sensei, I'm afraid you've

chosen the wrong person for this.

The Shuriken Jutsu is not something

the Aburame Clan practices.

For all forms of warfare, we rely almost exclusively

on parasitic insects.

We house them inside our bodies, and--

-OK, Shino!

That's enough.

Come on, Sasuke.

-Please just show us the basics.

[girls cheering]

-Way to go, Sasuke!

-He's so full of himself.

Since when does acting stuck up make you popular?

GIRL: Yeah!

Way to go!

-IRUKA: Well done, Sasuke.

Excellent example.

[girls swooning]

GIRL: Sasuke, you are so cool!

So cool!

-Hah.

Stuck up and a showoff.

I could do that too, if I wanted to, you know.

-All right.

Then I guess you're up next, Naruto.

-Sweet.

I'll show you how it's done.

Get ready to be amazed.

Hmph.

[gulp]

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): I gotta do it in one throw too.

That'll make everyone stand up, and finally take notice.

-Go!

[laughter]

-What a joke!

That's the worst attempt I've ever seen!

[chuckling]

-Yeah.

I was just fooling around, you guys.

[wind blows]

-Sensei, you just gotta let me try one more time.

You just gotta!

I can do this.

-No.

That's enough.

OK.

Which one of you wants to give it a shot next?

-Hey, Shikamaru.

Do you want to go to the candy store with me after class?

-No way.

I mean, if you get caught you'll be OK, because your mom's nice.

But if my mom found out that I had a snack before dinner

and ruined my appetite, boy, would I ever get it.

-Hey.

Did you know that everyone in the Uchiha Clan was killed?

-Yeah.

I heard my father talking about it a while ago.

-Sasuke's the only one who survived.

[theme music]

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): The Nine-Tails sealed inside

of Naruto is responsible for my parents deaths.

I'm fully aware that Naruto is not

to blame for what occurred back then, whenever I look at him,

I can't stop thinking about the Nine-Tails that's

hiding deep inside of him.

I don't think someone like me can make Naruto open up.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Next time on Naruto Shippuden-- Iruka's

Ordeal.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): The Third Hokage

sure made a bold decision.
