[stretching yawning]

Huh!?

Wha?!

Agh!

What the hell is this?!

Huh?

[Naruto] [mischievous chuckle]

Naruto Uzumaki, that's me!

One day, I'll be Hokage!

Hey!

-Get back here! -Get him! -Don't let him get away!

Damn! It's that kid again!

Thanks to him, we have another big mess to clean up!

Yeah, and he doesn't even have any parents that we can go and complain to about it!

What'll we do? Who's going to pay to get all of this cleaned up?

Ha ha ha ha! Hee hee hee hee!

Who can we complain to, you know?

It was him again, wasn't it?

Yeah, the boy we're not supposed to talk about.

That kid's a nuisance.

He's so unpleasant.

More like useless.

Mmhh...

[door opens]

See you later!

Huh?

Wait! Your lunch!

Oops! Thanks!

What did you put in there for me, anyway?

I said I wanted an omelet!

Well, good, 'cause that's what I made you both!

Yeah! Yeah!

You be careful!

-Okay! -Okay!

[door opens]

May I come in?

Here's this month's allowance.

Make sure you spend it wisely.

Hold on.

Hmm?

Tell me about them. Tell me all about my mom and dad.

Hmm.

I'm certain that I told you before.

Although it was quite some time ago.

I don't mean that!

You're talking about when the Nine Tailed Fox ran amok, aren't you?

I already know plenty about how it attacked the Village and killed tons of people, including my parents.

But that stuff isn't what I'm asking you to tell me about now!

What I want to know is...

Just who were my parents, really?

What kind of people were they?

There's no use in asking such questions.

It won't bring back the dead.

Now... for the next lesson.

Instead of just introducing yourselves,

I want each of you to demonstrate your skill with ninjutsu!

[kids] Awww!

Okay, don't worry, we're just gonna start with a basic Clone Jutsu.

And the first up:

Uh, is Sasuke Uchiha.

[giggles]

You ready?

Whoa, he's from the Uchiha clan?!

Yeah! He's an elite among elites.

Heheheehe! Sasuke~!

Hmph.

Why do you always have to act so smug?! It's annoying!

If you think that you're so hot, then prove it!

[Sasuke] I just did.

Hmm??

When did--?!

Wow. Impressive.

"Ooh, Sasuke's so great!"

Bah! With this jutsu, if you attack the real one!

Huh??

Yauugh...

Ugh. He's hopeless.

Ahh! Hnggh!

[kids laughing]

Damn!

Today I'll get him!

Dagh!

[girls cheering]

Hmph.

Damn it!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it damn it damn it!

Hmph.

[girls shrieking]

Oh man! Come on!

Aaaggh!! Choji, too?!

Hmf.

Hm.

Hmph.

Damn it! Today is gonna be the day I beat him, for sure.

Definitely! Definitely! Definitely!

I will beat him!

[Iruka] Next up, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha!

You've got this, Sasuke!

You're totally going to win, I'm sure of it!

Damn it! Why does he get all the attention?

Let's go! I'm gonna win!

[Iruka] Begin!

Whoa! He's so cool!

Oh, Sasuke, you rock!

Ahh!

Sasuke.

That look in his eyes.

It's the same look that everyone gives me.

No.

No, it's stronger than that.

Wait...

...it's not for me.

Man, he pisses me off!

Hm.

- Hey! - Not him again! - Get back here! - You gotta be kidding!

Hee hee hee hee hee!

Damn it!

Where'd that little brat run off to this time?!

There!

- Hey over there! - We found 'im! - Let's go!

Hee hee hee! Serves you right!

Huh?

[panting]

I have acted like the older brother you desired for one reason:

Because I wanted to discover how powerful you were.

[gasp]

Huh?

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.

[yawn]

Today's the day! I finally get to wear this!

Hee hee hee!

Looks perfect!

All right! Starting today, I'm a genin!

Alright, why don't you introduce yourselves. One at a time.

Okay, I'll go first! My name's Naruto Uzumaki!

I like instant ramen in a cup!

I really like the ramen that Iruka Sensei got for me at Ichiraku.

But the thing I hate is waiting until the ramen is done.

And my future dream is,

to be Hokage!

Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody!

Somebody important!

Hobbies?

Huh? Hmm.

Playing pranks.

Last one.

My name's Sasuke Uchiha.

I hate a lot of things.

And I don't particularly like anything.

My dream... isn't really a dream at all, because I'm going to make it a reality.

I'm going to restore my clan,

and destroy a certain someone.

[Kakashi] Good! you're each unique and you have your own ideas.

We'll have our first mission tomorrow!

Hup! What kind of mission are we going to have?

It's a task that the four of us are going to do together.

What? What?

A survival exercise.

I'll be your opponent, but it's not just a drill.

And the chance that you'll fail is at least 66 percent.

Hey, wait up, Sasuke!

Wanna walk home together?

No, thanks.

I finally made genin, and there's no way that I'm going to get dropped now.

I'm going to train by myself.

Yeah... Guess that makes sense...

That jerk! Always acting so cool!

All right!

If Sasuke's going to train by himself, then so will I!

I've had enough! I'm not going to lose to him anymore!

Now grade this, Professor Kakashi!

Yahhh!

I'm gonna become a genin, no matter what!

Damn it!

I had to get stuck in a three-man cell with Sakura and that loser, of all people!

I will pass, all on my own!

I just have to stay focused on my goal.

[Kakashi] Here we go. It's set for noon.

Hmm?

Your assignment is very simple.

You just have to take these bells from me. That's all there is to it.

If you can't get 'em by noon, you go without lunch.

At least one of you will end up tied to a post and ultimately disqualified for failing to complete the mission.

That one goes back to the Academy.

Rrrgh!

Get ready.

Annnd...

start!

You n' me, right now, fair and square!!!

Let's go!

Fool.

I'm gonna crush youuu!

Aaaaaggh!!

Rrrgh! I'm not going to let it end like this!

I'll attack from the water!

Uuagh!

Whooa!

Yah! Uagh! Hey!

Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Sensei said that no bell means no lunch.

But if I eat it right now, then there's nothing he can do!

It's chow time!!

Hi there.

I was just... joking sensei.

Nice try.

[alarm]

[stomach growl]

It's too late now, but if all three of you had come at me,

you might have been able to take them.

Mmmmhh.

All right. I'm going to give you one more chance.

But I'm going to make it much harder on you. You'll have three hours to get a bell.

Eat lunch now to build up strength.

But, Naruto doesn't get any.

It's your punishment for breaking the rules and trying to eat by yourself.

And if anyone tries to feed him, that person will immediately fail.

I make the rules, and you follow them. Got it!?

[stomach growl]

This is no big deal. I can go without eating for days. For weeks!

Unnhhhh...

I have to get one of those bells from Kakashi Sensei.

But as much as I hate to admit it, I can't do it alone.

What's the best move?

Combine the strength of three into one.

Here.

What! No, Sasuke, you can't do that! You heard what the Sensei said.

Kakashi's gone. We need to get those bells as a team.

If Naruto's hungry, he'll be weak and ineffective.

That would hurt the entire team and jeopardize the mission.

[gulp]

Sakura!

[chuckle]

Thanks.

Yahhh!!!

You pass.

[chuckle]

Huh!?

Huhhh!?

In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum.

But, those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.

The exercise is over. Everyone passes!

Okay, it's picture time! Look sharp, everyone!

Yeah, but I still don't understand why I have to be in the same picture as this guy!

Hmph. I should be asking that, you loser.

Say that again!

[Kakashi] Come on, you guys, quiet down. This is a tradition!

[Kakashi] Squad seven starts its first mission tomorrow!!

What!?

Do it!

Ahh!

[gasp]

Kakashi Sensei!

Ah! Ahhh!

Now, it's your turn.

Whoa. Cool.

Ahhh!

[Naruto] Kakashi-sensei used the Substitution Jutsu.

I was useless! And Sasuke was so cool! On our first mission!

Didn't he feel scared at all? He looks so calm. Not a scratch on him.

And I was so lame; he had to come and save me! Why can't I keep up with them?

Hey.

Yeah!?

You're not hurt are ya? scaredy-cat?

Rrrgh!

Why am I so different!?

Why am I always... Aaagh!

Damn it!

Ngh!

Huh??

[gasp]

I'll never back down again and let someone else rescue me.

I will never run away.

Upon this wound, I make this pledge!

[Sasuke] Listen, if you really don't want to owe me anything,

Then just become stronger than me.

...Loser.

[Naruto] Agh! I'm gonna catch up to him in no time.

And then I'm gonna become even stronger than he is! Just you watch!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Rivals. The story of how Sasuke and I got started continues.

[Sasuke] When did he get this good?
