1
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:34,950
Squad Seven
2
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:40,700
Regarding the next group of genin
that you'll be in charge of…
3
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:42,160
Me? Again?
4
00:01:42,620 --> 00:01:44,620
Now don't look so upset.
5
00:01:45,370 --> 00:01:46,950
Guy has already formed his squad
6
00:01:46,990 --> 00:01:49,330
and has gone out on missions
with them.
7
00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:53,240
Aren't you eager to set out with
your own apprentices?
8
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,780
Well…
9
00:01:55,530 --> 00:02:01,490
I'm sure this new batch of genin
will hold your interest.
10
00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:06,700
Where are we?
11
00:02:07,870 --> 00:02:09,780
This is Naruto Uzumaki's house.
12
00:02:10,950 --> 00:02:12,410
Lord Fourth's orphan.
13
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:15,240
So that child is a genin.
14
00:02:17,490 --> 00:02:19,780
Are you a little interested now?
15
00:02:22,830 --> 00:02:24,620
So this is where Naruto lives.
16
00:02:25,740 --> 00:02:26,530
Yes.
17
00:02:32,950 --> 00:02:36,870
This milk is way past
its expiration date.
18
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,620
Minato Sensei was so meticulous.
I can't believe this is his son.
19
00:02:45,580 --> 00:02:47,450
He's a bit of a fool,
20
00:02:47,490 --> 00:02:49,870
but it would be best if
you looked after him.
21
00:02:50,030 --> 00:02:51,830
You have good instincts.
22
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,200
That Uchiha boy, Sasuke, is
also on your squad.
23
00:03:00,370 --> 00:03:01,700
I wish you the best of luck.
24
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:03,910
Understood.
25
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,740
What have I gotten myself into?
26
00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:13,450
Next up is a kunoichi—
27
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,450
Welcome, Lord Third!
And Kakashi Sensei as well!
28
00:03:24,490 --> 00:03:26,830
Our Sakura, will be under
your supervision!
29
00:03:26,870 --> 00:03:28,490
Come in and
have some tea!
30
00:03:28,870 --> 00:03:30,700
I'll hurry and get it rea-tea!
31
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,450
I couldn't resist saying that!
32
00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:37,330
Oh, stop! You're so silly!
33
00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:44,580
I'm here unofficially.
34
00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:47,780
So if I accept an invitation for tea
at a student's home,
35
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:51,530
other parents might frown upon it.
36
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:53,990
Oh, please don't be so formal.
37
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,700
Yes! Thanks to you,
38
00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:58,870
we live in peace and have nothing
to worry about, Lord Hokage!
39
00:03:58,910 --> 00:04:01,330
No one would dare complain.
40
00:04:01,870 --> 00:04:03,160
Please, you too, Kakashi Sensei!
41
00:04:03,580 --> 00:04:06,830
After all, you're going to be
our daughter's sensei.
42
00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:09,280
So please come in!
43
00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:11,490
This is really not looking good...
44
00:04:16,910 --> 00:04:19,870
The last up one is…
Sasuke Uchiha's house.
45
00:04:25,910 --> 00:04:30,160
At one time, the Uchiha lived in
a special autonomous district.
46
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,120
Now, only Sasuke remains…
47
00:04:36,830 --> 00:04:41,160
Sasuke's father Fugaku Uchiha
was very strict.
48
00:04:41,410 --> 00:04:43,660
Seems the boy is very disciplined.
49
00:04:47,740 --> 00:04:50,910
His older brother Itachi was
very meticulous as well.
50
00:04:51,450 --> 00:04:53,030
Yes, I remember.
51
00:04:53,330 --> 00:04:56,080
I assigned him under you.
52
00:04:56,780 --> 00:04:58,950
Look after the younger one as well
53
00:04:58,990 --> 00:05:02,780
I'm asking in place of
their father, Fugaku.
54
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,740
I didn't have to teach Itachi a thing.
55
00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:11,080
His Sharingan was far
more effective than mine.
56
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:19,030
Regardless, you are the only Leaf Shinobi
who possesses a Sharingan now.
57
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:23,370
We don't know yet if Sasuke
will be able to activate his…
58
00:05:23,910 --> 00:05:26,870
but if he does,
you must be there for him.
59
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:27,870
Yes…
60
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:36,450
Obito, you—!
61
00:05:45,870 --> 00:05:46,780
This is where…
62
00:05:47,620 --> 00:05:49,410
I'll protect my friends!
63
00:05:51,530 --> 00:05:52,450
Obito…
64
00:05:59,830 --> 00:06:01,080
Kakashi…
65
00:06:18,740 --> 00:06:19,780
Rin…
66
00:06:22,780 --> 00:06:25,370
The shadow of tragedy
trails this eye.
67
00:06:27,910 --> 00:06:31,700
It might be best not to activate
the Sharingan at all.
68
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:33,410
But…
69
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:38,660
But for better or for worse,
70
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:42,200
this eye holds a key into how
I feel about my comrades.
71
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,950
If one thinks that there is a downside
72
00:06:44,990 --> 00:06:46,740
to having these kinds of feelings...
that it attracts tragedy…
73
00:06:47,830 --> 00:06:50,490
then I must see to it that
they treasure their comrades,
74
00:06:50,530 --> 00:06:52,830
in order to prevent that
from happening.
75
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,370
It seems your judging criteria
remains unchanged this year.
76
00:07:04,530 --> 00:07:05,490
Still…
77
00:07:05,530 --> 00:07:07,950
This room is quite a contrast
from Naruto's.
78
00:07:12,490 --> 00:07:13,240
Why?
79
00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:14,830
Why what?
80
00:07:15,410 --> 00:07:18,370
Why did you put me in charge
of those three?
81
00:07:22,330 --> 00:07:28,780
Well, there's a hopeless fool,
a skilled protégé and a clever kunoichi…
82
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:32,120
I'd say it's much like
Minato's old team.
83
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:34,700
S-So you chose me on purpose?!
84
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:38,450
Listen Kakashi, I am the Hokage.
85
00:07:38,910 --> 00:07:40,660
I would never base
my personnel decisions
86
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:41,830
on personal preference!
87
00:07:42,330 --> 00:07:43,780
It's all about the right man
for the right job…
88
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:46,990
I carefully consider each of
these assignments…
89
00:07:47,870 --> 00:07:52,240
Separately from what the teachers
at the Academy believe.
90
00:07:52,870 --> 00:07:55,240
Sasuke and Naruto will be
on the same squad?
91
00:07:55,910 --> 00:07:56,740
That's brilliant!
92
00:07:56,780 --> 00:08:00,080
Sasuke graduated at the top of
his class out of 27 students…
93
00:08:00,490 --> 00:08:02,080
Whereas Naruto was last in class.
94
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:05,330
It seems you did that to keep
the squad balanced!
95
00:08:09,950 --> 00:08:12,370
These are times when
a squad's composition greatly affects
96
00:08:12,410 --> 00:08:16,910
shinobi and their actions,
and subsequently, their success rate.
97
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,160
It is the duty of those who govern
98
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,530
to maintain special teams that
possess a variety of skills.
99
00:08:24,780 --> 00:08:28,280
For example, Guy's team that
was formed last year.
100
00:08:29,780 --> 00:08:31,580
It certainly doesn't
have the kind of balance
101
00:08:31,620 --> 00:08:33,200
the instructors at
the Academy recommend.
102
00:08:33,530 --> 00:08:37,030
It's a squad that specializes largely
in taijutsu.
103
00:08:37,870 --> 00:08:38,530
You're right.
104
00:08:38,910 --> 00:08:41,700
This year, they have really
come into their own.
105
00:08:43,740 --> 00:08:45,530
I also intend to organize
106
00:08:45,580 --> 00:08:48,530
specialty military squads
that utilize Secret Ninjutsu.
107
00:08:50,490 --> 00:08:51,780
From that perspective,
108
00:08:51,780 --> 00:08:54,240
Naruto is the Jinchuriki
of the Nine Tails…
109
00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:58,530
and Sasuke has the potential
to activate the Sharingan…
110
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:00,870
As I mentioned earlier,
111
00:09:00,910 --> 00:09:05,410
you are the only one who can
advise Sasuke with his Sharingan.
112
00:09:07,780 --> 00:09:09,910
Looking ahead, it is imperative
113
00:09:09,950 --> 00:09:14,950
that Sasuke awaken his Sharingan
that can control the Nine Tails…
114
00:09:15,450 --> 00:09:18,620
That night's tragedy
must never happen again.
115
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,080
I understand that those two are special.
116
00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:23,830
But what about the girl Sakura?
117
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,830
Well, I believe she has
the potential to be a good kunoichi.
118
00:09:29,870 --> 00:09:33,870
Right now, she's average. However…
119
00:09:46,580 --> 00:09:48,330
Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!
120
00:09:50,830 --> 00:09:54,740
He's already picked up
one of my jutsu!
121
00:09:57,580 --> 00:09:58,990
Good one, Orochimaru!
122
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:05,910
I can do that too!
123
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,330
What? You too, Jiraiya?
124
00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:16,620
Shu…Shuriken…
125
00:10:17,830 --> 00:10:19,740
Whatever Jutsu…!
126
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,530
Talent attracts people…
127
00:10:26,660 --> 00:10:28,870
Men notice women…
128
00:10:28,910 --> 00:10:31,330
And rivalry matures both…
129
00:10:31,370 --> 00:10:32,700
So they say.
130
00:10:34,580 --> 00:10:35,740
Go get 'em!
131
00:10:35,780 --> 00:10:36,830
Do it!
132
00:10:41,410 --> 00:10:44,700
So you've even considered how
the squad will develop?
133
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,620
That's right.
134
00:10:49,530 --> 00:10:50,870
Without a doubt…
135
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,870
Obito was desperate for Rin
to acknowledge him.
136
00:10:55,950 --> 00:10:56,780
But…
137
00:10:59,410 --> 00:11:00,740
I understand your logic
behind this Lord Third.
138
00:11:01,830 --> 00:11:06,870
But…I failed twice with squads
that you organized.
139
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,990
I don't think I'm cut out
to be a jonin leader.
140
00:11:12,830 --> 00:11:15,830
Did you fail them because of
your own personal feelings?
141
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,030
No…
142
00:11:18,830 --> 00:11:21,160
It was unfortunate for them.
143
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,370
But this is the strict world of shinobi.
144
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:27,160
It's better that they learn this
when they're young.
145
00:11:27,410 --> 00:11:31,530
Ultimately, this will prove to be
a valuable lesson for them.
146
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:35,280
But it wasn't planned.
It just happened to work out.
147
00:11:35,740 --> 00:11:36,830
Perhaps.
148
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:40,740
But I had faith that
it would work out.
149
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,450
I trusted you.
150
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,240
Lord Hiruzen…
151
00:11:45,870 --> 00:11:47,780
It was the same with Minato too.
152
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,200
Minato Sensei?
153
00:11:54,530 --> 00:11:56,740
Judging from only
the practice reports,
154
00:11:56,780 --> 00:12:00,370
it would seem that
Kakashi acted arbitrarily.
155
00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:02,620
Kakashi is leagues ahead
of the other graduates
156
00:12:02,660 --> 00:12:04,870
in terms of skill and intelligence.
157
00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:08,910
It's exciting just thinking about
this genin's development.
158
00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:13,990
Perhaps due to the incident
with Sakumo, he's very headstrong.
159
00:12:14,740 --> 00:12:18,530
But I have faith that he'll realize
the importance of teamwork.
160
00:12:19,490 --> 00:12:20,700
Faith, huh?
161
00:12:21,580 --> 00:12:23,330
Yes, you're right.
162
00:12:24,450 --> 00:12:28,240
I shall have faith in your faith.
163
00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:33,370
Minato Sensei knew all along
164
00:12:33,410 --> 00:12:35,740
about my selfish and
shallow strategy.
165
00:12:36,780 --> 00:12:40,490
But he had faith that one day,
I would realize it...
166
00:12:44,780 --> 00:12:47,370
To believe in one's student
and to watch over them…
167
00:12:47,410 --> 00:12:49,950
is also part of being a teacher.
168
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:06,830
Father... I spent my life denying you…
169
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,450
I believe that the White Fang
was a true hero.
170
00:13:14,370 --> 00:13:16,830
Sure, in the world of Ninja,
171
00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:20,530
one who breaks the rules and
regulations is regarded as trash.
172
00:13:21,620 --> 00:13:27,830
But…those who abandon their comrades
are worse than trash!
173
00:13:42,870 --> 00:13:43,870
But…
174
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:50,780
I can't repeat that tragedy again
with a new generation.
175
00:14:02,370 --> 00:14:04,490
Are you going to be our Sensei?
176
00:14:04,740 --> 00:14:06,410
I'm Naruto Uzumaki!
177
00:14:06,450 --> 00:14:08,080
And I'm going to be the Hokage!
178
00:14:09,870 --> 00:14:13,780
Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi,
Ino Yamanaka!
179
00:14:13,780 --> 00:14:14,700
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
180
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,830
I'm the jonin leader of
your squad, Asuma Sarutobi.
181
00:14:19,530 --> 00:14:20,950
We're going to have a meeting now.
182
00:14:21,830 --> 00:14:22,740
Follow me.
183
00:14:24,660 --> 00:14:25,530
See ya!
184
00:14:25,830 --> 00:14:26,580
So long!
185
00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:28,450
See you again, Sasuke!
186
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,700
Get lost, Ino Pig!
187
00:14:32,830 --> 00:14:36,280
What? He's their sensei?
188
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:39,580
Well, the next one will be ours!
189
00:14:39,780 --> 00:14:42,870
Nope, it'll be our sensei next!
190
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,410
Right, Akamaru?
191
00:14:50,740 --> 00:14:54,490
Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame,
Hinata Hyuga…
192
00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:58,700
I'm Yuhi Kurenai and
I'll be your leader.
193
00:14:59,530 --> 00:15:00,240
Nice to meet you all.
194
00:15:03,410 --> 00:15:06,830
The loser squad gets
a loser sensei too!
195
00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:14,080
- He's late!
- He's late!
196
00:15:19,780 --> 00:15:22,280
Have you been waiting for me, Tenzo?
197
00:15:26,370 --> 00:15:29,200
Stop calling me "Tenzo," Senpai.
198
00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:32,700
Then drop the "senpai."
199
00:15:33,450 --> 00:15:35,160
You'll always be my senpai.
200
00:15:35,660 --> 00:15:38,870
That will never change,
even if you're no longer ANBU.
201
00:15:39,330 --> 00:15:40,830
So what do you want?
202
00:15:40,870 --> 00:15:42,240
I've heard the rumors
203
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,740
that it's been very difficult
trying find my replacement.
204
00:15:45,830 --> 00:15:49,700
Or did you come all this way
to laugh at me, the genin babysitter?
205
00:15:50,410 --> 00:15:51,370
Not at all!
206
00:15:51,830 --> 00:15:53,700
But that was such a long time ago.
207
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:55,740
You haven't changed a bit, Senpai.
208
00:15:57,030 --> 00:15:59,120
Sorry, but I'm busy today.
209
00:15:59,740 --> 00:16:01,490
I can't stand around and chat.
210
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:08,120
It's way past the time you were
supposed to meet your genin.
211
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,580
Well, see you later.
212
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:20,660
"See you later," huh?
Maybe he did change a little.
213
00:16:21,660 --> 00:16:24,240
For someone who was fixated
on the past and present...
214
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,910
to hear him say,
"see you later..."
215
00:16:40,740 --> 00:16:42,160
A silly prank…
216
00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:45,910
Still, if this prank was
the result of teamwork…
217
00:16:47,830 --> 00:16:49,530
He fell for it!
218
00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:51,410
So Naruto's the perp.
219
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,870
I'm so sorry, Sensei.
I tried to stop him, but Naruto…
220
00:16:56,490 --> 00:16:59,330
Sakura makes excuses and
tries to protect herself…
221
00:17:01,410 --> 00:17:03,160
Sasuke minds his own business…
222
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,620
He probably doesn't consider them
as comrades.
223
00:17:06,450 --> 00:17:08,410
There's not even a shred of teamwork…
224
00:17:09,910 --> 00:17:11,830
There are two bells here.
225
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:14,870
Your task is to take these bells away
from me by noon.
226
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:19,910
The one who fails to take
a bell gets no lunch.
227
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,740
This exercise is to try
to split the team.
228
00:17:24,950 --> 00:17:26,280
I hope you figure it out.
229
00:17:26,990 --> 00:17:30,830
And failing the exercise means
failing the mission.
230
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,120
In order words, at the very least,
231
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,490
one of you will be returning
to the Academy.
232
00:17:39,580 --> 00:17:40,740
Let's get started.
233
00:17:41,030 --> 00:17:43,370
Ready… Start!
234
00:17:44,620 --> 00:17:46,780
Considering the prank
in the classroom…
235
00:17:46,830 --> 00:17:49,450
I doubt if they'll work
as a team to attack me.
236
00:17:58,910 --> 00:17:59,830
I knew it.
237
00:18:04,450 --> 00:18:05,490
Well, guys!
238
00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:09,410
I'm going to give you
one more chance.
239
00:18:09,910 --> 00:18:13,410
However, the afternoon scramble
for the bells will be much more difficult.
240
00:18:13,780 --> 00:18:15,830
If you accept the challenge,
eat your lunch.
241
00:18:15,870 --> 00:18:19,240
However, don't let Naruto eat.
242
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:19,780
Huh?
243
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,830
That's your punishment
for breaking the rule
244
00:18:21,870 --> 00:18:23,620
and attempting to eat lunch alone.
245
00:18:23,870 --> 00:18:25,490
If you give Naruto any food,
246
00:18:25,530 --> 00:18:28,580
you will be
immediately disqualified.
247
00:18:30,740 --> 00:18:32,370
I am the law here.
248
00:18:33,330 --> 00:18:34,580
Understand?
249
00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:46,870
Minato Sensei had faith in me…
250
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:50,030
So should I have faith in them too?
251
00:18:51,780 --> 00:18:54,950
But what if I'm wrong
to begin with?
252
00:18:55,910 --> 00:18:58,910
Don't you have any kindness
in your heart?
253
00:18:59,370 --> 00:19:01,780
All you ever think about are
rules, rules, rules! It's annoying!
254
00:19:02,910 --> 00:19:04,830
That's right.
255
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,910
I'm still trying to stick to my rules…
256
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:12,240
Come on, let's go, Captain.
257
00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:17,620
Obito…
258
00:19:18,370 --> 00:19:22,700
For the sake of the team,
you walked over to me that day…
259
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:28,910
If only I had accepted
the friendship you extended…
260
00:19:30,530 --> 00:19:33,030
If I had embraced
that little sign you gave me…
261
00:19:33,780 --> 00:19:34,660
Here.
262
00:19:50,870 --> 00:19:52,950
Obito, did you see that?
263
00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:57,830
I'll never forget you or Rin.
264
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,160
Kakashi.
265
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,080
Kakashi.
266
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,330
Kakashi.
267
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:21,530
You!
268
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:24,700
Pass.
269
00:20:25,870 --> 00:20:30,870
But I think I'm going to move forward
with some new comrades.
270
00:20:31,410 --> 00:20:34,200
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura…
271
00:20:34,660 --> 00:20:36,700
I'm going to believe in you.
272
00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:40,910
And Obito, Rin…
I'll make a promise.
273
00:20:41,870 --> 00:20:45,660
I'll believe in my comrades
and I'll never let them die!
274
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,580
That ends the survival exercise.
You all pass.
275
00:20:49,620 --> 00:20:52,620
Squad Seven will start
its mission tomorrow!
276
00:20:54,910 --> 00:20:58,950
Huh?! Hey, untie me!
277
00:22:38,780 --> 00:22:40,780
I couldn't keep my promise
to you.
278
00:22:41,530 --> 00:22:45,490
I'm trash. But you're a hero
of the Leaf.
279
00:22:45,780 --> 00:22:47,910
You don't have
to become trash too!
280
00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:53,530
Obito, your once strong will
is still alive today, right next to me!
281
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,950
What the current me can do is...
282
00:22:56,450 --> 00:22:59,200
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Kakashi's Resolve."
283
00:23:00,490 --> 00:23:02,740
...protect the current Naruto!
284
00:23:02,780 --> 00:23:04,830
KAKASHI'S RESOLVE
285
00:23:04,910 --> 00:23:06,740
Tune in again!
