Scatter!

Morale continues to remain high.

Everyone is ready to leap into action when the order is given, Lady Tsunade.

Good.

You guys, we can't just stand around doing nothing!

-Huh? -Huh?

(Konohamaru) Moegi...

(Konohamaru) Udon...

Alright! Let's do this!

Hiya!

[grunting]

No, Udon! There!

Fire Style: Burning Ash!

-Woahhh! -Woahhh!

[coughing]

Hey, stop Konohamaru!

Yeah, you're really overdoing it.

Look guys, the entire Village is gearing up for war as we speak!

And everyone has to be ready to answer the call to arms when it comes, including us!

We're still Genin, so I doubt they're gonna send us into battle right away.

And besides, aren't there still things kids like us are supposed to be doing Konohamaru?

How can you guys be so relaxed!? We're not just kids! We've grown up a lot!

The time's come to make our mark and become heroes of the Village like Naruto!

[groans]

[determined grunt]

Anyway, now it's our turn to achieve great things for the Hidden Leaf.

But, Konohamaru, how are we gonna do that?!

That's right. It's way easier said than done.

Uhhh... Lemme think...

Hmm... Huh?!

Oh! That's it! We'll just use the Leaf News!

Huh?

What do you mean?

(Konohamaru) We're from the Leaf news, and we're collecting--

(Konohamaru) --data about the coming war, so we can figure out how we can help!

During the last major incident, we just helped everyone evacuate.

But do you think there's anything else we can do to help out?

There is! Hold out your hands...

[groaning]

Okay! Take those to the storage room.

[groaning]

Thanks a lot! That was a big help!

Yeah, but Sakura!

...hold on!

Hm?

You didn't tell us what we can do to help during the war!

We really wanna do our part!

Yeah! We wanna do something big to help out the Village!

Mhm!

Hm, [gasp] but you're already doing something big to help the village out!

-huh? -huh? -huh?

All these boxes! They contain medicine for the ninja who will be fighting out there!

No! That's not what we mean!

We wanna do something really important!

Like the kinda stuff Big Brother Naruto does!

What are you saying!? War isn't a game you know!

[gasps]

A lot of people out there could get hurt or die!

So don't speak lightly of it!

Man! I can't believe she was looking down on us just because we're still only genin!

But what Big Sister Sakura said really is true!

Mhm.

Listen, maybe we should just stick to--

No way! We are not gonna give up that easily!

(Shikamaru) What's the matter? You sound kind of upset.

(Konohamaru) Big Brother Shikamaru!

How do we get on the front lines and fight the Akatsuki!?

I brought down Pain! And that means I'm a full-fledged Leaf Ninja now!

(Shikamaru) Tsk...

Alright, I have a question for you, full-fledged Leaf Ninja...

Uh, okay.

What's the identity of the King that you must protect? Answer that.

The King...?

Heh...

If you don't know the answer to what I'm asking...

...then I'm afraid I can't acknowledge you as a "full-fledged Hidden Leaf Ninja."

Heh, look at me talkin' all big.

I only got the answer recently myself.

Anyway, there's no need to push yourself so hard.

We'll talk again some other time.

Here!

What's that?

Why'd he write the symbol for "ball?"

It's "king!"

(Konohamaru) I wish everyone would just stop giving us the run-around!

Fine. If that's the way it is.

What now?

Who are we gonna interview?

No one...

We're gonna demand to be allowed to take part in the war!!!

(Lady Tsunade) You fool!!!!!

Why am I a fool!? I just wanna fight for our Village on the front lines!

That's no place for you, trust me.

I brought down one of the Pains by myself!

I am fully qualified to fight in the war!

[groan]

You're interfering with my work!!!

Get out!

Woahh!!

Konohamaru!

Are you okay!?

Ugh!!!

Why is this so hard!?

[sigh]

(Young Tsunade) Nawaki, I can't believe you're twelve! Happy Birthday!

[gasp]

Sister, is this what I think it is?

Yep! It's grandfather's!

That necklace belonged to the First Hokage!

I love you!

[sigh]

Damn... Ugh!

-Hm? -Hm?

(Moegi) Someone's coming!

We'll get yelled at!

Ahhhhh!

This way. Lady Hokage is expecting you.

Thanks!

Hey, don't we know her?

Temari, the older sister of the Sand's Kazekage.

Kazekage!?

Oh...

I've got a great idea!

What are you thinking about?

Here's the secret missive from the Kazekage.

Yes, thank you. I confirm receiving it.

What a time! To come this far, just for that?

Not at all! It's to assess the situation here as well.

I mean, we're both in the same alliance after all.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

The past shadows are gone, so please stay and rest.

Thanks, I would...

...however I have to get back to the Hidden Sand Village as soon as possible.

Excuse me,

[panting]

Brother Shikamaru!

What's going on you guys?

Did you finally figure out who the King is?

Uh, no! Konohamaru's in big trouble!

Hm? What is it?

(Konohamaru) Hidden Sand Jonin Tamari!

You will accept my challenge to fight here and now!

Huh!? Get lost... or get hurt!

Will I get hurt..? Or you!?

My name's Konohamaru Sarutobi! Lord Third's grandson!

And Naruto's favorite student!

Naruto's what!?

Running away from this challenge will mean that you fear me, and you'll be known as a coward!

Say that again, brat!

Okay, let's do this!

[grunt]

Alright! Fire Style: Burning Ash!

First Star...

[grunt]

[screaming]

[coughing]

How'd you manage to do that!?

(Temari) Give it up, kid! You're all talk!

Just admit it!

[growling] I'm not a kid! I'm Konohamaru!

(Konohamaru) Shuriken!

Now! Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Second Star...

[grunt]

[gasp]

[grunt]

Hmm, it seems that the Sarutobi Clan doesn't have any decent heirs left!

[growl] You give me no choice then!

Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Now, here we go!

[charging grunt]

[dying gasps]

Third Star!

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Had enough!?

You're a hundred years away from being a challenge to me!

Thought you were Naruto's favorite student?! But you're only a dissapointment.

Of course, I shouldn't have expected a guy like Naruto to have a decent student anyway.

[grunt]

You did a good job, Konohamaru! You're a hero of the Hidden Leaf too!

[giggling]

That's it!

You can say whatever you want about me....

...but I won't let you say anything bad about Big Brother Naruto!

What!?

(thinking) What is that!?

[attack cry] Rasengan!!!

Ninja Art! Wind Scythe Jutsu!

Shadow Strangle Jutsu!

[shouting]

What?

What was that Jutsu?

(Shikamaru) The one he learned from Naruto.

It's the Rasengan.

That brat's managed to master a Jutsu this powerful?

Konohamaru!!!

Are you alright, Konohamaru?!

[grunt] Damnit! What do you think you're doing!?

If you'd just let me finish the Rasengan I would have won that fight no problem!

[gasp]

Ow! Hey! What was that for?!

Because... because...

...you keep going on and on about distinguishing yourself and winning!

Konohamaru! It's like you're happy war is coming!

No... That's not...

(Moegi) Konohamaru...

...do you remember the day that Pain attacked!?

Huh?

(Moegi) I got separated from you, so I headed towards District C...

(Moegi) But then...

[gasp]

[crying]

(thinking) He's in big trouble! I have to get help!

(thinking) I'm the only one here... I have to help him!

(thinking) Somehow... I have to help him!

(Child) [crying]

[gasp]

Huh?

[panting]

Huh!? Sota!

Mommy!

Sota!

[crying]

Going to fight on the front lines isn't the only way we can help the Village!

When war breaks out for real, all the Jonin and Chunin will have to leave to fight...

...but what happens if the enemy attacks the Village itself?!

(Udon) She's right...

We will have to take the place of the ninja who are out on the battlefield...

...and protect all the elderly and children at home.

[gasp]

What's the identity of the King that you must protect? Answer that.

I swear... that I will protect them...

...all the grannies and the grandpas...

...and the children too. All of them!

Hm.

(Shikamaru) Protecting the Village is a huge responsibility too.

But boy, are you every lucky.

If you'd kept on fighting, I have no doubt that you would have fallen to Temari's Wind Scythe Jutsu.

Among all the Shinobi, she's probably the cruelist one you'll ever meet.

[gasp]

Heh. But still, kid, you're really somethin else making me have to go as far as I did...

Uh, I... thanks!

Now I can report back to Gaara that there are some fine young ninja coming up in the Leaf.

In a few years, I'm sure you'll be an incredible Shinobi.

Heh!

Well, Konohamaru...

What do you think we should do now?

What else...?

This Village was my grandpa's... the Third Hokage's greatest treasure!

I'm gonna protect it!

'Cause I'm the grandson of the Third Hokage, who kept the Village hidden in the Leaves safe!

And because Big Brother Naruto made me a promise...

...that we would fight for the title of Hokage!

(Konohamaru) I'm gonna train harder than ever, until I can pulverize Big Brother Naruto!

Because my dream is to become Hokage!

Huh, really? Konohamaru actually said that?

Yes, those were his exact words.

I see. I'm glad to hear it.

I'll take care of it! And not just the necklace...

...the entire Village meant a lot to our grandfather!

I'm gonna take good care of all of it!

After all, I'm the grandson of the Hokage who built the Village Hidden in the Leaves!

[laughing] Remember, like you always say, a man never goes back on his word!

That's right!

And I give my word I'll follow in our grandfather's footsteps and be just like him!

To become the Hokage! That is my dream!

I wonder how he's doing right about now...

(Guy) Ha! A marriage proposal just like that!? You're quite popular Naruto!

(Naruto) It's not like that! I'm telling you!

(Naruto) Just because Pervy Sage made some careless promise I have to pay for it now!

(Yamato) We are on a secret mission. We can't get involved in any foolish distractions!

(Aoba) We must avoid unnecessary conflict.

(Aoba) So let's go to bed early and leave first thing in the morning.

(Naruto) Next time on Naruto Shippuden: The Kunoichi of Nadeshiko Village.

(Naruto) Stop following me! Leave me alone!
