Why do we have to eat ramen for breakfast?
What's wrong? It tastes great!
I can't eat this stuff first thing in the morning!
Besides, we had the same thing last night!
It's not the same.
Today, we're having salt.
Yesterday, we had miso, ya know!
That's not the point…
Fine then!
I'll have ramen for breakfast…
but don't you have any different flavors?
Like Dynamic Hot Chili…
Or Red Avocado?
What are those?
You don't even know about them?
You're so behind the times…
It's like you've wasted half your life, not having tasted those flavors.
Seriously?
Okay then! I'll let you taste them.
Whoa! What are you putting in there?!
This and this… Whatever, I'll add this too!
How about this?
It's ready!
Oh man…
My pristine salt ramen…
Yeah, it's good!
It's gotta have a bit of bite to it!
Just humor me a little and try it.
Are you sure about this?
So spicy!
But…
It's good in its own way!
See?
You understanding how good this tastes means
we're gonna get along just fine.
How long are you gonna be here in the village?
I don't know. My master has stuff he needs to do,
so he told me to take it easy for a while.
Our captain Kakashi isn't here either,
so we don't have any team missions.
I guess it can't be helped!
As your monitor, I'll show you around the village!
LEAF JUNJO SHOPPING STREET Genin, Assemble!
This is the best diner in town.
The lady that owns this flower shop here is always taking a nap.
This bookstore's run by a pervy old man.
The village seems totally different.
Hey, this month's issue is out!
That's right!
Sasuke was a kid during this time too.
Hey!
Hmm?
Introduce me to your teammates. You have 3-man cells, right?
Like Sakura, the one from yesterday, and the other—
It's impossible right now.
Why?
The other one's away from the village.
Like on a mission? When's he coming back?
I don't know.
What's that supposed to mean?
He'll return someday.
Or, more like, I'll make him return.
But, he's not here right now.
Just when I thought I'd meet Sasuke when he was a kid.
Okay!
Let's keep moving!
Big Bro Naruto!
Who's this lil' shrimp?
I'm not a shrimp!
Hey, I'm Big Bro Naruto's rival
and I'm gonna become Hokage!
Rival?
And that, "hey"!
Hey, shrimp are—?
Who're you calling shrimp?!
I am the grandson of the Third Hokage!
The future Hokage, Konohamaru Sarutobi!
Hey, don't mess with me!
No way!
Big Bro Konohamaru was seriously like this?
What's up, Konohamaru?
I thought I'd show you how far I've gotten with training.
What?!
I challenge you, Big Bro!
Sexy Jutsu!
Huh?
Boom… Chicka… Boom!
Hey, Big Bro, what do you think?
It's hard to praise something like that.
Watch and learn!
This is what you call a real Sexy Jutsu!
How's this?
Konohamaru, you don't have enough charm!
Damn it!
I didn't train hard enough.
You're still too naïve!
What was the challenge to begin with?
Konohamaru, be more diligent.
This guy has a pretty good Sexy Jutsu too.
What?! For real?
Mm…
Well, my Sexy Jutsu is a lot cooler than yours.
Hey, then show me!
I guess I have no choice.
I'll show it to you!
Although, it's not as good as mine.
You idiot!
Big Bro!
What the hell do you think you're doing,
first thing in the morning?!
Sakura's scary!
Stop it! You violent woman!
Huh?
What did you say just now?!
– I'm sorry, Big Bro Naruto! – H-Hey!
S-Sakura, hold on…
S-Sakura, please calm down!
Seriously, if you would just stop acting like an idiot.
Right, Hinata?
Huh?
Mom?!
Ouch!
It makes things difficult for me
when I have an idiot like you for a partner. Got it?
Um, Sakura…
Let's leave it at that.
Humph!
Mom seems really different in the past!
You're a lifesaver!
Thanks, Hinata.
Oh…
What's the matter? Are you feeling okay?
Oh…
No, I'm fine.
Watching them is sorta embarrassing.
You guys, what are you doing around here?
Hey, Neji!
This guy is Uncle Neji?
I was just passing by and Naruto was up to his stupid antics,
so I was telling him to cut it out.
Who are you?
Oh, I'm…
He's a street performer and…
Neji! Here you are!
What's up, Lee?
He looks… just like him!
Oh, Naruto, Sakura and Hinata.
And…
You must be the traveling performer Lady Tsunade was talking about!
I'm monitoring him right—
Hello!
Hmm…
Nice to meet you!
Likewise!
That's right, Naruto.
I've been looking for you per Lady Fifth's special direct orders.
Direct order?
Lady Fifth ordered me earlier to assemble all available genin.
Are you guys all going?
Of course!
You come too. You're free, right?
Hmm…
I can't train if Pervy Sage is away…
And keeping an eye on him is getting boring.
All right then!
Don't be late!
I know.
All right, Naruto. See you later.
Yeah.
Okay then, let's get going.
Huh?
I'm going too?
Of course!
I'm tired of monitoring you,
but I still have to keep an eye on you, right?
Anyway, let's finish up our tour of the village.
Oh man… What are you doing?
Are you okay?
Y-Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm so sorry, Big Bro!
Hey, what are you doing?
Yes, I'm sorry!
It would all be so easy if you had the Thunder Train.
Thunder Train? What's that?
A kind of vehicle.
A giant vehicle that carries people and things.
And it circles around the village.
Stop talking nonsense and let's go.
A giant vehicle that moves people and things?
Hey, Kaminarimon!
Quit dawdling or we'll be late!
R-Right!
Hey, how come there's no Great Stone Face of Lady Fifth?
Oh, Granny Tsunade became the Hokage just recently.
It's gonna get carved pretty soon.
Hmm…
I'm gonna be the Hokage one day too,
and I'll have my face carved over there.
Dad seriously wanted to become the Hokage
ever since he was a kid…
Hokage, huh?
What? Don't you dare say it's impossible.
No…
I was just thinking you probably could.
You get it!
Well…
I did say you can, but maybe, you won't be able to.
W-What did you say?!
Becoming the Hokage is my dream!
Okay, okay.
BATH HOUSE MEN WOMEN
According to Lady Fifth's special orders,
this is the spot where we're supposed to assemble, right?
Yeah, there's no mistake.
What are we gonna do here?
I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
I see everyone's here.
I've been assigned to coordinate the special orders,
though it's total drag…
Huh? Are you the observer Naruto mentioned?
Y-Yeah!
Shikadai and Uncle Shikamaru are totally identical!
Shikamaru, what are Lady Fifth's special orders?
Yeah, about that.
We have to clean this place up.
Huh?! What's up with that?!
An acquaintance of Lady Fifth has some connection to this bath house,
and she's in a position where she can't turn this down.
Why can't she turn it down?
I don't know.
Anyway, she was insistent,
and she didn't offer any explanation why.
Aunty Ino and Uncle Choji haven't changed at all either.
Lady Fifth's acquaintance must be the Pervy Sage.
She has to clean up after him because of last night, after all.
If people find out, I'll totally get beaten up!
Why are you so pale?
I-I'm not, you know!
Really?
You've been acting strange since earlier.
I'm fine!
I'm gonna go get the cleaning supplies!
Hmm?
You kind of look like Naruto.
No way, ya' know!
Hinata! What are you guys talking about?
C'mon, we'd better go too.
Oh, right.
See you!
Yeah!
Hinata, you're usually so shy,
I'm surprised you spoke to someone you just met for the first time.
Huh? Oh…
For some reason, I didn't feel nervous with him.
It sounds like there's something there!
WOMEN I-It's nothing!
WOMEN Cut it out, Ino.
WOMEN Just kidding! Just kidding!
I just can't get into this.
Too bad.
It's a direct order from Lady Fifth.
We're still only genin!
Consider it a part of training!
I get it, but to be called up just for clean-up duty?
Maybe that person from the bath house has something over Lady Fifth?
Something over her?
Should we investigate later?
Who cares about that!
C'mon, let's hurry and get this cleaning over with!
Ordinarily, you'd be complaining the loudest.
Not true!
Okay, let's go! Shadow Clone Jutsu!
– Let's finish this quickly. – Let's finish this quickly.
Even as a kid,
he could do the Shadow Clone Jutsu better than me, huh?
– Okay, let's do this, ya know! – Okay, let's do this, ya know!
– All right! – All right!
You really are full of energy…
Wow… No wonder he's the future Hokage.
Who's the future Hokage?
Like I'd let Naruto steal the spotlight!
Let's go, Akamaru!
Man-Beast Transformation Combo!
Soapy Fang Over Fang!
Hey, you're overdoing it, Kiba!
This place is full of suds!
So, this is what the guy who united all of the hopes of the village is like.
Who are you talking about?
I'm talking about Kiba.
He's just saying that stuff.
He's not the one who united all of the hopes of the village, it's because I—!
What are you saying?
Huh? What?
I will not be outdone!
Huh?
Bathhouse cleaning is training!
Here I go!
Why are you lathering it all up again?
Hey, rinse it off first!
R-Right.
It's Water Style Jutsu!
Why you!
Take this!
H-Hot!
Hey, quit spraying hot water!
You can't get me.
Why you—!
Over here, over here!
Why you!
Hey, you guys! Quit making this more of a drag!
S-Sorry, Shikamaru.
The changing rooms are done now.
You guys!
– Huh?! – Huh?!
BATH HOUSE MEN WOMEN
What's all the noise?!
Ouch!
Choji! What's the big idea?!
You again, you peeping brat!
Peeping brat?
Huh? Uh!
Damn it.
The special order was to just clean up after your mess?
I told you, it was Pervy Sage's fault!
You're so annoying!
Sakura, don't say that!
Where did you learn taijutsu?
Huh?
At kind of like a school where a teacher taught me.
I see. Your movements weren't bad at all.
But I saw slight inefficiencies in your movements.
Did your teacher ever call them out?
Uh, not really.
Your teacher was careless.
That teacher was you!
You're a street performer, right?
If you can move that well, you could be a ninja.
Your instincts were great.
You might surpass Naruto right away!
No way that'll happen!
It makes sense.
I think you can be battle-ready immediately.
How about it?
What, you need people that badly?
Well, we had a deserter just recently.
– Well, what do you think? – Hey, Kiba!
Oh.
Huh? Don't tell me the deserter is—!
Sorry, forget about what I just mentioned.
I'm kinda hungry…
Oh…
How about you, Choji?
Yeah, I'm starving.
Aren't you always?
You're correct!
Okay, we're excused for the day.
I didn't sense Urashiki in the vicinity.
But, he could appear anytime.
Has Karasuki awakened at all since?
He hasn't come out of his shell.
What's the matter?
What were you doing during this time, Sasuke?
Why do you ask?
I asked Dad and the others about you,
but they all said you were away.
Granny Tsunade mentioned it too,
about a genin who deserted the village.
It was you, wasn't it, Sasuke?
Why?
Back then, I saw no other choice.
I know that you're the Sasuke you are now
because of this past right now.
So…why can't the you right here, say anything then?
It's impossible.
But—!
We're here to protect Naruto from Urashiki.
We can't stir up anything else in the past.
So, go back to Naruto.
Hey, mister! Where have you been?
I've been in the village the whole time.
Then you should have shown your face!
It's my job to keep an eye on you two.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Anyway, I wonder where Pervy Sage is?
He promised to train me today.
Well now…
My plans really went off-kilter.
I guess I'll have to hunt down the annoying insects.
I've been wanting to meet you, Mr. Naruto Uzumaki.
Who are you?! Do you know me?
Of course! You're very famous, after all.
I've come to take your Nine Tails.
I'm not gonna let you!
I'm going to distract Urashiki.
I leave Naruto to you, Boruto!
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
"The Power of the Nine Tails"
We'll protect you, Dad!
