I've finally found you.
It took quite a while…
Lord Toneri Otsutsuki.
You've finally appeared, Celestial Being.
Why stand on formality? We're from the same clan…
I thought that the fate of the Otsutsuki Clan would end with me.
Quite the contrary…
The main family of the Otsutsuki Clan doesn't feel that way.
The main family?
If they exist, why did they forsake us for a thousand years?
We saw it all.
The incident with the woman with the Byakugan was quite unfortunate.
You endured such humiliation,
and yet, you still risk your life for that planet…
I must hand it to you.
However, this means that you're betraying the clan.
You may believe that you made the first move
by doing something to that woman's son…
But that was very hastily prepared.
You speak as if you know everything.
But you never made yourself known until today.
What would you know about that planet?
Yes…we don't.
That is why we were dispatched.
"We"?
Well, let's leave it at that.
I'm up for the fight…
A Time Freeze?!
I'm not authorized to kill a member of the clan.
Well…don't worry…
Just enjoy the Palace of the Dragon King for the next 10,000 years.
All right.
Time for me to reel in a big catch.
Stop!
Don't!
Boruto's not strong enough…
right now.
Boruto!
What are some of your thoughts when you look back on Himawari's Birthday
the Fourth Great Ninja War?
Yeah…there were a lot of casualties
– It's Lord Hokage! – in that battle.
I think there are a lot of ninja now who don't know about that.
Dad?
The most important thing is to communicate properly
everything that's happened up to now, you know?
You're right.
As the Seventh Hokage, Naruto just said…
peace was reached after the many wars of the past.
But we must never forget that this peace was made possible
through the sacrifice of many, many shinobi.
We must make sure we teach this history to the youth,
to the next generation, to preserve peace…
You could say it's our responsibility to do so.
I get it already.
I've heard this so much, it's a drag.
It's even in our text books.
Now, turning our attention to the Chunin Exams,
which for the first time,
the five villages have agreed to sponsor together…
Mr. Naruto, do you have any advice for the genin who will be taking part?
Remember these three things!
Three things?
Teamwork…and perseverance!
And…well… Good luck to everyone!
That was just two things…
Anyway, thank you for your inspiring comments.
Thanks for joining us live today.
Thank you very much, Mr. Naruto.
Sure!
It seems Lord Hokage is as busy as ever.
He had his Shadow Clone do the interview on TV.
Lord Hokage is so amazing!
At this rate…
I won't be able to change a thing.
I never even thought about becoming a ninja…
And here I am, a chunin.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
You can celebrate when you pass.
Oh yeah, we still have the exams.
Hey Boruto…
Don't do anything stupid until we get our recommendation letters.
Pranks are off-limits for a while, huh?
About that…
I really could care less about it.
– Huh? – Huh?
Chunin, jonin… That's sorta like a license, right?
Why should we get so hung up on rules
that people from a long time ago came up with?
Instead, we should just go for it and become even greater ninja.
What do you mean by "even greater"?
Well…
Like Mr. Sasuke.
Huh?
You mean Sarada's dad?
He doesn't take orders from anyone,
but he battles powerful enemies on his own terms.
Ninja like that exist.
Rumors say he's mysterious too!
That's what's cool about him.
It's way cooler than going on TV and rambling on and on.
Why are you making things complicated at this point?
I'm not.
I got into the Academy and
decided to become a ninja with all you guys.
That's for real.
And that's why, I'm thinking about how I can be even cooler.
I'm just doing things my own way.
You know…
Only guys who want to stand out say things like that.
That's not it.
Then what is it?
Like I said, I'll do things my way.
Later!
Damn it.
He's such a drag.
I've brought the applications for this year's Chunin Exams.
That means we'll get official recommendations, right?
Well, yeah.
Your work has been recognized, so I can breathe easy.
Well, there were quite a few instances of chaos…
Damn it. They sure work us genin to the bone.
The hell?!
If you don't want it,
I can always take the recommendation back!
No! I never said we weren't going to take the Exams!
Right, Cho-Cho?
Huh?
Did you say something about being patient with your triglycerides?
I'm talking about the Chunin Exams.
Maybe you've got fat stuffed in your ears?
Mm… Like a sausage pizza, nice.
You're not listening!
…with pawns, anything is possible.
To be or not to be… It's all up to you.
– What? – What?
It's nothing.
Anyway, let's get this thing over with and become chunin.
Taking exams over and over again is such a drag.
I agree!
Taking exams will only interfere with the springtime of my youth!
Hey, Chubs… Spring will never come for you.
Huh?
Why don't you come and take a look?
Maybe you've got fat blocking your eyes!
Sorry…
You've been sending your clones out nonstop
due to the Zetsu incident.
I'm okay.
The Chunin Exams are coming up. I have to manage somehow.
Oh, Katasuke.
What's up?
Well, as the head of the Scientific Ninja Tools department,
I have a request to make, Lord Seventh.
What is it?
WIND For the upcoming Chunin Exams,
WIND we would like your authorization to the use
WIND the Scientific Ninja Tools developed by our team!
That's right!
I read the report that they've made considerable progress recently.
Yes, they are battle-ready now!
That's a Wind Style jutsu.
That's actually pretty interesting.
Isn't it?
You just change the cartridge, and you can use a jutsu at will.
I see.
Then the genin won't have to go through harsh training
and they can widen the scope of their individual ninjutsu!
What do you think?
Their performance will also be more elaborate.
Thanks, Katasuke.
But I can't approve it.
Huh?
The Chunin Exam is not a performance.
Its purpose is to nurture shinobi.
All the more reason then!
The Scientific Ninja Tool was invented for the modern shinobi.
Taking the easy way out on a test to measure their skills
will only end up shortchanging them.
That's true…
I understand.
But there's a school of thought that the masterful use of copied jutsu
like the Sixth Hokage is also the mark of an outstanding ninja.
Sure, if one derived that power from himself.
However, the purpose of the Chunin Exams is to measure
a genin's strength that they have cultivated to this day.
I see…
Excuse me.
Do you think I was rude to him?
Don't worry about it.
You were absolutely right.
Okay…
SCIENTIFIC NINJA TOOL RESEARCH LAB
When will Lord Seventh understand?
Technology must be used efficiently.
What's wrong with that?
The Young Lord understands this much more clearly.
No, no…
I should know better.
I am a scientist. I must remain optimistic.
That's right.
The Young Lord asked me for some game data.
THUNDER BURGER
Yes!
I stopped the boss attack with an instant kill!
What?
Your character is super strong today.
I'm ready.
Just waiting for you, Boruto.
S-Sorry…
BORUTO SHIKADAI INOJIN
Hey, what's up with this level?
You used something, didn't you, Boruto?
Yeah, so?
If I use this, it makes it easy to beat the boss.
I'll send you the data too.
Yeah… this is a cheat.
Although your level is impressive.
Yeah but… This is only fun because I have to sneak away
from my mom to level up.
That's so boring! Isn't that a drag?
What's the point if you can't win?
SHINOBI ASPIRATION CHUNIN
So, you're an expert at video games too?
I brought the applications.
Look, Mitsuki.
I already told you I'm not going to enter.
Oh, is that right?
I see.
Damn it. Are you still saying stuff like that?
If that's how you feel, it doesn't really matter to me anyway…
But are you sure you're all right with that?
Of course it's not okay!
I was worried, so I came here, and what do I hear you say?!
I can't rely on Mitsuki!
Listen, Boruto!
My dream is to become the Hokage!
I know that!
I can't waste time being a genin.
I'm going to pass the Exams as soon as possible.
Like it's gonna be so easy.
Right?
What is it?
Are you going to get in my way?
I have no intention of doing that.
You can go ahead and do whatever you want.
Huh?!
Were you even listening to the teachers?
A three-man team is required to take the Exams.
You can find someone else.
It's too late at this point!
There's no way I can find someone that easily!
She's right.
Our teamwork didn't come together overnight.
That's true.
I don't care.
You've been acting so weird lately, Boruto.
Why are you being so stubborn?
Whatever.
Hey, Boruto.
Huh?
You just want to hear your father say you're great,
more than anything…right?
Oh…
What would you know about me?
I know…
Because you're my sun.
So that's it…
You're such a kid, Boruto.
I heard that.
Listen, Boruto.
The way you're acting is pretty uncool.
Is this the real Boruto Uzumaki?
Come on, Boruto!
Let's show Lord Hokage
just how awesome we are in the upcoming Exams!
Huh?
It's our chance.
You'll be able to show your dad and all of the spectators
just how amazing you are.
And I can pass the exam too!
Me too.
I guess I have no choice!
Okay already… I get it.
Seriously, I guess you guys just can't do anything without me.
Three-man team or whatever… just leave it to me.
He's so easy!
You really know how to manipulate Boruto, Sarada.
I can hear you!
A man doesn't go back on his word, right?
Well, yeah…
I could care less about being a chunin.
But I'll just ace the exam and wow everyone…
and make them see Boruto Uzumaki is finally here!
Big Brother!
Oh, Hima!
Hey, Himawari!
But before that, there's something important I have to do…
– Huh? – Huh?
It's a man-to-man promise.
We're back!
Big Brother is home!
Oh, welcome home.
Daddy!
We're back, we're back…
– So, you remembered. – we're back!
Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home!
He remembered.
So, you remembered our promise.
Well, yeah…
Then we're even.
I can put up with it. I'm a man.
But if you had made Himawari cry, I was gonna let you have it.
So we're even now.
I'll forgive you for today!
Thank you.
As long as you get it.
Daddy!
Dad, everything's ready!
Okay!
All right!
Everything's ready!
Yes!
Here comes the cake!
Whoa!
It's so big!
Himawari's birthday party is about to start!
A Shadow Clone…
Big Brother, I…
That damned…
It's Himawari's birthday! What the hell does he think this is?!
Boruto!
Let me go, Mom!
I'm gonna beat that loser up!
Boruto!
Your father has to work very hard for the people of the village.
And what about us?! Aren't we part of the village too?!
So when you're the Hokage, it's okay to ignore your own family?!
It doesn't mean he's forgotten about the two of you.
I've heard that so many times already, ya know!
I'm sick and tired of that excuse!
Boruto…
When Dad was a kid,
Grandpa Hokage wasn't even alive!
Which means he grew up not knowing
how fun it's supposed to be with your family, right?
No wonder he doesn't care!
Boruto!
Why did my dad have to be the Hokage?!
He just sits at his desk all day and acts bossy!
Anyone can do that!
I understand it's hard
not having your father around on important days.
But it's different with you. You have a father who's actually here.
Boruto…
Mommy…
I'm sorry, Himawari.
I'm so sorry.
It's so dirty…
and torn up…
But it's different with you.
You have a father who's actually here.
This is so uncool!
So uncool…
Dad is…
and so am I.
So you've decided to come home… stupid old man?!
I-I'm sorry, I thought you were my dad…
You're Naruto's son?
What's your name?
Boruto…Uzumaki.
What's going on, Boruto?!
Is that really you…Sasuke?
Is Naruto here?
I think he's still at the Hokage's office…
I see…
Sorry to bother you.
He's…
Sasuke…Uchiha.
Mr. Sasuke, please make me your student!
I wanna take down my dad!
Why are you rebelling so much against your father?
He broke a sacred man-to-man promise,
and he keeps treating me like a kid.
Can you do the Rasengan?
Next time on Boruto Naruto Next Generations:
"Sasuke and Boruto"
That's a piece of cake! I'll go master it right away!
SASUKE AND BORUTO
