Those bastards who failed me at the Academy don't know anything!
I’ll show them how strong I am!
Damn it, what a drag, first thing in the morning…
Who is that?
He kinda reminds me of you, Iwabe.
Don’t group me in with him.
Hey, if it isn’t Mr. Iwabe.
I heard you lost to that runt and turned over a new leaf…
Oh, shut up.
You used to suck up to me all the time.
What?!
I’m not the same as I was yesterday!
Whoa... That was close!
Huh?
It’s the same, like the time with Metal…
Leave him alone.
The grown-ups will take care of him soon…
It’s back again.
Hey, Boruto!
Wha—?
You’re mine!
Lemme at him next!
Whoa!
I won’t let him get away, ya know!
Hold it!
I don't really care either way…
…but this town is pretty rowdy, isn’t it?
Who are you?
THE MYSTERIOUS TRANSFER STUDENT!
Let me introduce our new transfer student.
He’ll be studying with us from today…
His name is Mitsuki.
Be good to him.
He’s the guy from this morning…
It’s that showoff!
My name is Mitsuki.
I’m from Hidden Sound Village.
It’s only natural that you are all surprised.
Hidden Sound Village was established by a shinobi
whose goal was to destroy the Hidden Leaf.
However, that was all in the past.
It is now being reconstructed as a new shinobi village.
Mitsuki’s come to our village to represent our new harmonious relationship.
Hey, Boruto, you know that transfer student?
Yeah, I sorta met him this morning.
There was an idiot stirring up trouble in town, he stopped him first.
So that means he’s pretty skilled?
What sort of jutsu does he use?
I dunno.
I’d like to test him to see just how strong he is.
Are you guys listening?
He’s pretty good-looking!
Yeah!
Well, he’s really not my type.
That’s so stupid…
E-Everyone, please be quiet during homeroom!
Anyway, hurry and take a seat, Mitsuki.
Can I sit next to you?
S-Sure!
I’m Boruto Uzumaki.
Nice to meet you, Mitsuki.
Yeah, same here, Boruto.
Anyway, you can ask me anything, okay?
Anything?
Yeah, anything at all!
Well…
Why is it that we’re the only ones without a classroom?
Oh, well…that’s…
We’re having classes outside, thanks to a certain someone.
He’s always dozing off in class, so how does he know that?
He’s got a knack for it.
Heheh…
That was a simple problem for me.
It’s correct…
However, figure it out using the formula I taught you.
No, this way is much faster and more accurate.
Never mind that! Give us something we can sink our teeth into!
Oh?
Fine, I’ll give you something with more meat to chew on.
Do what you just did and answer this problem, Boruto.
You’re such a poor loser, Shino Sensei, ya know!
You calculate it as an equation of motion.
This way, you can calculate the air resistance.
See? Easy, huh?
Oh, I get it!
Mitsuki…
I didn’t tell you to solve it.
But Boruto was having a hard time.
We’re supposed to teach each other anything when we don’t understand, right?
But it’s meaningless if they can’t solve it themselves.
All right, that’s enough. Go back to your seats, both of you.
Mitsuki’s kinda weird…
Huh… Looks like I won again this time!
You’re mine!
Lame!
Stop right there!
This match is over.
That’ll show you.
Oww…
When it comes to brute strength, no one comes close to you, Iwabe.
Okay, next…
Fight me next.
Nothing I’d like better, new kid.
Go for it, you two.
All right, no holds barred.
Are you sure about that?
All right, Iwabe…
Here I come.
Wait, Mitsuki!
I didn’t give the signal yet!
You’re nasty…
I don't really care…
Why you—!
You’re too weak!
What’s with those movements?
He’s like a snake.
Hey, hey…
Release him. We’re done.
Let him go!
Come on! Stop it!
Mitsuki!
We’re done!
Are you all right, Iwabe?!
Why did you stop me?
I was on the verge of winning.
Anyways, just apologize to Iwabe!
Why?
He said no holds barred, so I…
It doesn’t matter. You overdid it!
I don’t like guys who fight like that!
You don’t?
Of course!
I see.
I don’t want you to dislike me.
I guess I went a little too far.
I’m sorry.
Not just “kinda”…
He’s really weird.
ODEN
Sorry, it’s so sudden.
It’s all right. I’ve had so much time on my hands since retiring.
Anyway, I heard about the transfer student from the Hidden Sound.
I hear he’s quite peculiar…
Yes.
You’ve already got a few worrisome ones in your class.
You have all the luck.
Perhaps I’m not suited to teach.
The reason is because…
What are you saying?
Everyone in the village knows you’re not suited for teaching!
Even so, I think you’ve been working your hardest, all this time.
You think so?
Whether one is suited or not isn’t what counts.
You can’t just give up over something simple like that.
You just have to interact with your students in your own way.
Don’t give up…do it in my own way…
Pops, I’d like another order of fish cake!
Yeah, it’s me.
Yeah, I’m fine.
Everything’s going smoothly.
Things are quite interesting, that’s for sure.
Him?
Yeah, we’ve met.
We haven’t talked much though.
I can’t wait.
I’ll soon find out…if he’s my sun.
Morning, everyone!
H-Huh?!
S-Sensei?
What’s with that get-up?
Okay, let’s start!
WELCOME MITSUKI WELCOME TO THE ACADEMY
HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS TO HAVE GOOD FRIENDS.
Today, we’ll use our morning homeroom time to give Mitsuki a welcoming party!
HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS TO HAVE GOOD FRIENDS.
What is this?
Oh man, he went overboard.
So Aburame Sensei made all this?
I think his effort is misguided though.
All right! Let’s deepen our friendships, everyone!
Hey, what do we do?
Um…
I don’t understand it, but he went through all this trouble, so let’s have fun!
Hey, so what kind of place is the Village Hidden in Sound?
During yesterday’s practice session, your defensive moves were awesome!
Do you know special ninjutsu?
Well…
I’m pretty good at a few escape jutsu.
Wow!
And Wind Style, and Lightning Style.
Huh?
The Hidden Cloud specializes in Lightning Styles, not the Hidden Sound…
Quit bluffing.
But it’s true…
I was worried at first, but this welcome party is going well.
Yeah, thanks to Aburame Sensei.
This is great!
Mitsuki is starting to blend in as I hoped!
Kurenai Sensei, it’s just as you said…
I’ll win over my students in my own way.
Are you all right, Aburame Sensei?
W-What makes you say that, out of the blue?
Well, you’ve been working your hardest for Mitsuki… No, for everyone.
I’ve never been good with words.
But I didn’t end up a loner because of the Academy…
and because of the many friends I made here.
So, this is kind of my way of repaying the village, by becoming a teacher.
HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS TO HAVE GOOD FRIENDS. Okay, for the finale…a present from me!
It’s moving!
Wow, amazing!
Way to go, Aburame Sensei!
How is he doing that?
It’s different from my Super Beast Scroll…
Huh?
That’s right… Shino Sensei’s ninjutsu is…
How cute!
Oh, wait!
Don’t touch it!
Huh?
No!
Bugs?!
Hey! Stay away from my snacks! Shoo! Shoo!
This is the worst!
This is really disgusting!
I-It wasn’t supposed to be like this…
So, these are the Aburame Clan’s famous Parasitic Insects
that I’ve heard so much about…
S-Someone, do something!
You want me to do something about the bugs?
Yeah, anything!
Then…
Wind Style… Immense Breakthrough.
What are you guys doing?!
I-I’m sorry!
Please get it together, Sensei!
Oh, Aburame Sensei…
I am so sorry…
Hey, hey…
Do you understand—
What are we gonna do about all of this?
—we are repairing your school!
What happened to that guy?
Don’t call him “that guy.”
Even though he’s like that, he’s still our teacher.
Oh, really?
Didn’t you know?!
But is there anything he can teach us at this point?
Well, he’s supposed to have been amazing in the past.
Well, compared to other teachers, he’s not that dependable.
He’s got a weak presence…
Yeah, it’s almost like his shadow is stronger.
Don't say stuff like that, guys.
Sensei welcomed Mitsuki.
Welcomed? Me?
Didn’t you have fun, Mitsuki?
Fun?
Uh… Aburame Sensei isn’t feeling so well, so first period will be study hall.
What?
I guess calling them “disgusting” was rude.
Hey, what do we do?
It’s a drag, but I think we should go apologize later.
Yeah, we should.
Mitsuki, you’re coming with us, aren’t you?
Huh? Where’s Mitsuki?
Hey!
What?!
I don’t know, not again…
I’m gonna take a look.
Hey, Boruto!
Count me in too!
What a drag.
We’re coming too.
Huh? Why?
I’m worried about the school store!
Huh?
That was close!
It’s a guy who was here to repair the school.
You keep getting in the way of repairs.
How long is gonna take to finish?
Boruto!
Is it the same as the last time with Metal?
What’s going on anyway?
First, we have to stop him.
Let’s go!
So you can see it, after all!
Hey, how did you—?
That’s right, yesterday too…
No way…
Is he the one who’s making everyone act strangely?
What are you doing?
I’m going after him!
Wait!
Let’s break straight through!
C’mon.
Huh? Aren’t we going to go?
I saved the potato chips from the school store, so I pass.
When did you—?
At this rate, I’ll destroy it completely, so you won't need to repair it anymore!
Hey! Don’t be so reckless!
Do your best Sarada!
Ugh! So distracting.
Don’t get so carried away, kid.
Is that enough time, Shikadai?
Yeah…
You did great…
Lady Sarada.
Game’s over now.
Boruto didn’t get a turn.
You kids…
It didn’t work?!
Don’t get carried away!
Take him down, now!
Yeah!
You almost died.
You shouldn’t overdo it.
Y-Yeah…
Is it over?
Uh-huh.
He’s…
What?
Huh? Nothing…
Looking forward to working with you, Mitsuki.
Yeah… Same here, Boruto.
What a mess…
Just because I missed class, my students were put in danger…
…and the school was damaged again.
It just doesn’t work out.
Nothing works…
I’m very sorry, Principal!
As expected… So, your class is hard to handle…
Well, you’ve got a few problem kids,
in addition to the transfer student from the Hidden Sound.
If it’s too hard on you, Shino, I can ask Anko Sensei.
What do I have to do, to get Boruto and the others to seriously listen to me?
Or are they already beyond listening to anything I say?
I understand now…
Why was I so worried all this time?
This is the place, right?
It should be…
Why would Shino Sensei call us out so early in the morning?
And isn’t it strange to call just the three of us for extracurricular lessons?
Hey, Shino Sensei!
You’re late, ya know—!
Sorry to keep you waiting, Boruto, Shikadai…
and Mitsuki.
Sensei…?
Now, let’s begin our final lesson…
I’ve had enough of not being taken seriously by my students,
or having all my hard work backfire.
It almost seems like everything I was worried about was a lie.
I’ve been liberated!
Even Shino Sensei’s acting weird!
Yeah, it’s just like what happened to Metal!
I’ve given up on teaching you anything more…
