Big Brother is really happy that
you're attending the Academy every day, Kawaki!
Keep this mission a secret from Boruto, got it?
If I wasn't on a mission to protect a princess,
I wouldn't be going to the Academy.
Well, I enjoyed the tea party the other day,
and I get to see my friends every day,
so it's just been one good thing after another!
I can't be friends with kids.
Come on...
Hana Sensei was so relieved that you made some friends,
since you were having trouble fitting in!
That's none of her business.
Hana Sensei cares about her students.
I think she's kind and a great teacher.
She's always flustered,
and it seems like she doesn't have any confidence.
I can't tell what her abilities are,
and I haven't seen her be teacher-like in any way.
That's not true!
I'm sure that her ninjutsu abilities are amazing!
You think so?
If you want to learn ninjutsu,
the special instructors coming today might be better.
Bloom, Hana! The Teacher's Gifts
I wonder who the special instructors are?
I've heard rumors that they're up-and-coming rookies
who even handle S-rank missions.
They handle S-rank missions even as rookies?!
Since they're special instructors, they must be amazing, right?
I plan on taking this opportunity
to make them acknowledge my abilities during this class
so I can go on missions with them someday.
Wow!
You're thinking that far ahead, Ehou?
Networking in the Academy will decide your life as a shinobi.
If you don't get into a good team,
you may not get to become a jonin or even a chunin.
Ehou's really gotten it together since he's come to the Academy.
"Networking" when he's just a student?
So obnoxious!
There's no need to say that.
Good morning, everyone!
Good morning!
Today, I've invited some special instructors
to teach an extracurricular lesson.
Really?! Who could they be?
Please come in.
Hey!
Gah! It's you guys?!
B-Big Brother?!
It's Team 7!
It's Boruto and his friends!
They're so cool!
They're all here!
I'm in Team 7 too, you know!
Everyone, we're not used to teaching,
but I hope we get along today.
Nice to meet you!
I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
Ahem! Uh, Kawaki?
Huh?
Make sure you listen to what your teachers say!
You're the last person I want to hear that from.
Rasengan!
I wanna use ninjutsu like that!
Amazing! Can I do that too?
Me too!
Well, this isn't easy to do.
What?
He's your big brother, right?
He's amazing!
He's being a little overenthusiastic,
so it's kind of embarrassing...
Oh, Kawaki!
What is it?
As your teacher,
I'm really glad that you chose to enroll into the Academy, ya know.
Despite already being a genin,
you felt the desire to properly learn the basics, right?
Well... I guess so.
Next let's have Miss Sarada show us an example of—
But I don't want anyone here to know I'm a genin,
so don't blab about it.
I understand!
I'll give you my full support
so you can become a splendid shinobi!
You idiot! Stop interfering with my mission!
You should be teaching the other students, not me.
You don't have to be so shy with your teacher!
No... what I'm saying is...
you're standing in my way!
That was dangerous!
What was that for?!
You bastard! You think it's okay for a teacher to attack a student?!
You're the one who attacked your teacher!
Hey, you two! We're in the middle of class!
Why are you guys fighting?!
But—!
In the end, this is what always happens.
Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
Everyone, don't get too close. It's dangerous.
Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!
That's amazing!
Amazing!
Please, everyone!
It's dangerous! Please get back!
Sensei! What was that for?!
I-I'm sorry!
I thought you all were in danger!
Please make me your student!
Me too!
Please teach me too!
Everyone looks so happy.
I guess flashier ninjutsu are better, aren't they?
I can't do anything like that.
I wonder if Hana Sensei's doing all right.
It must be tough being compared to Boruto and the others...
She's sincere and scored well on the employment exam,
so I hope she'll be able to display her true abilities.
Now then, everyone,
we'll be ending this morning's lesson shortly.
I was trying so hard and it made me so hungry!
Me too!
But we were told not to bring a lunch today,
so I don't have anything.
Sorry to keep all of you waiting, ya know!
Sensei?
There aren't enough for all of us.
That's right.
We're now going to battle for these Thunder Burgers,
so you can get a feel for actual combat!
Battle for them?!
During actual missions,
there are times when you won't get to eat when you want
and you'll have to fight on an empty stomach.
We're going to do some training
to help you deal with situations like that, ya know.
The students with a ball will get a burger
if they're able to keep it for a certain amount of time.
If someone steals it, the burger goes to them instead.
So, at the end, if you don't have a ball...
you don't get lunch?
That's right.
You're allowed to help each other out,
and you're also free to fight alone.
You can use any ninjutsu,
but if you leave Academy grounds, you'll be disqualified.
Now, begin!
Give me the ball!
Hand it over!
You're not gonna get it!
Huh?
Hey, wait!
Isn't my drone awesome?!
I've got you now!
Hand it over!
No way!
Are you sure these rules are all right?
I'm worried because those kids aren't used to fighting.
It'll be all right!
This should make the students more desperate.
After everything's settled,
they'll realize that they can share their Thunder Burgers...
and they'll learn about caring for their friends, ya know.
If you split a burger in two, everyone can eat.
I sure hope that's the case.
Mimi!
Why are you eating a candy bar at a time like this?!
This is more than enough for me.
I don't want to take away anyone's food,
and I hate conflict!
That defeats the point of the challenge!
Give it!
Oh!
Ouch!
Pets aren't allowed here!
What are you doing to my friend?!
Stop it!
Focus on the challenge!
I'm gonna keep this candy bar!
Hold on! Give that back to Mimi!
Stop it, Soul!
I'm taking this challenge seriously!
If Mimi eats this candy bar,
that'll defeat the point of this challenge!
You don't get anything at all!
There weren't any rules against eating candy bars!
Aren't shinobi supposed to
read the hidden meanings behind hidden meanings?
That's right!
There's nothing wrong with having a candy bar!
What the heck is this?
Big Brother, bad news!
There's a fight over a candy bar!
A candy bar?!
You guys, forget about the candy bar!
Let's split these Thunder Burgers in two,
so we can all eat as friends.
That would defeat the point!
What?
This is a serious competition!
Right! I think people who don't think about their friends
have no right to eat.
What did you say?!
Wanna fight?!
What are you gonna do?
Ehou...
Soul...
See you later!
Things sure were rough yesterday.
I hope the two of them make up soon.
Well, they're all kids.
I'm sure they'll forget about everything
after a good night's sleep.
Miss Kae! Where is everyone?
The thing is... no one's here yet.
What?!
We'll then, please excuse us.
No matter how much we try to reason with them, it's no use.
I can't believe the other students are also boycotting class.
No one wants to see anyone from the opposing group.
This lesson might have been a little too advanced
for students who haven't learned about teamwork yet.
Are you really sure this plan is okay?!
Just leave it to me.
This is guaranteed to succeed!
There's no problem that Team 7 can't solve, ya know!
What did you want to see us about?
You guys, stop fighting already...
and have fun playing this!
X Cards?!
Like I said, Lord Fourth is Lord Seventh's father,
so this one is more rare!
Lord Sixth was Lord Seventh's sensei,
so this one is definitely more rare!
KAKASHI HATAKE
MINATO NAMIKAZE
You guys...
I figured this is what would happen.
Huh?
Kawaki!
Boruto...
you don't understand how kids think at all.
Leave the rest to me.
You have a good idea?
If you want to make up, there's only one thing...
Taiyaki!
What?
I bought every flavor they had!
The truth is, I don't really like taiyaki
because it doesn't have a good balance of bean jam.
I prefer obanyaki!
Obanyaki?! What the heck is that?!
I'm surprised.
I prefer taiyaki.
I don't get it,
but if you eat them, it's all the same right?
Why is this happening?
My student's preferences...
I knew it!
This is the only way to reason with those two!
Hana Sensei!
No matter how many times you talk to us,
I refuse to study in the same class as Ehou and his friends.
I understand how you feel, Soul.
But what would your hero, Might Guy, do?
Huh? Huh?
That unshakable man who mastered the secrets of taijutsu...
Are you referring to Master Might Guy?!
That's right!
How do you know that I like him?
As your homeroom teacher, it's only natural.
Sensei!
Mr. Guy was a rival of Lord Sixth Kakashi,
but they maintained a friendly competition.
I'd like you to learn alongside your rival as well.
So you can become like your hero, Mr. Guy.
What is this?
This is Might Guy's favorite design.
Don't be shy!
It's not that I'm being shy...
I don't admire his clothes...
R-Really?
Also, I'd never want to go to the Academy wearing this.
Did you make this yourself?
I suppose my first time sewing didn't go too well.
Oh, I know.
Could you at least accept this?
I'll be waiting for you.
What is this?
ICHIRAKU RAMEN
GOOD FAST CHEAP
Hana Sensei...
Why did you call me out here?
It's no use trying to reason with me.
Ehou, since you admire the Hokage,
I figured this was the best place to listen to what you have to say.
Thank you for waiting!
Let's talk over some food.
Don't be shy!
Well, I just ate dinner before I got here...
R-Really?!
I'm really no good at this, am I?
I'll eat that ramen for you.
We can't talk like this.
They took the time to make this,
so it would be a waste to leave anything behind.
Umm... could you at least accept this?
I'll be waiting!
Maybe I'm not cut out to be a teacher, after all.
But right now, I must do whatever I can for my students!
I hope everyone's here!
I guess not...
I wonder if we won't be able to study with everyone anymore?
We can't exactly drag them here by force.
It looks like we've got study hall again today.
Look!
They'll come, they won't come, they'll come, they won't come...
Everyone!
What's going on?
Sensei! Why are you so late?
You're the one who told us to come here!
Everyone!
Thank you!
What's with that large bundle of stuff?
Oh! I'm sorry.
I still haven't told any of you,
but I'm cancelling today's lesson,
so we can have a cherry blossom viewing party together.
A cherry blossom viewing party?!
But there aren't any cherry blossoms anywhere.
Everyone, stand under this tree and close your eyes.
You can open them now.
Wow!
Amazing! Cherry blossoms!
So beautiful!
Are you serious?
They're just pieces of paper.
So pretty!
Amazing!
Soul and Ehou, you came back to the Academy!
No matter what Hana Sensei does, she never quite gets things right!
But I've never had a teacher who was so sympathetic.
So, I figured I'd just show up for some flower viewing.
She's really clumsy!
But seeing her trying so hard
made me feel silly for getting so angry.
Since it was just flower viewing, I thought I'd go.
Since Soul was going, we figured we'd go to the Academy as well.
Uh-huh.
Everyone!
"Trying so hard," huh?
Now, everyone, let's all have some lunch!
Yay!
Ugh. Hana Sensei... This is...
Ugh!
Sorry, I tried hard to make this, but I'm just the worst at cooking.
What?!
Well, I guess it's fine.
It's Hana Sensei we're talking about here...
These are sweets that we make at my family's shop.
Thank you very much!
Thanks!
So good!
This bean jam... has such a refined sweetness.
Do you use a special kind of sugar?
That's right! Leave it to the princess to know!
Even I could tell that much!
You made all of this,
but what would you have done if no one showed up?
Huh?
I guess... all I could do was believe in them.
If I don't believe in my students, I can't call myself a teacher.
Is that how it is?
And Kawaki, I heard you tried to reason with the two of them.
I... only did it because I was asked to.
It looks like things are back to normal.
I'm relieved, ya know.
Hana Sensei has further improved as a teacher.
And it seems she's established trust with her students.
I guess things worked out in the end.
And so, we'd like you three
to come back to the Academy as special instructors...
What?!
Well, I'm kind of done with being a teacher, ya know!
Everyone knows about it...
One of the Seven Mysteries of the Academy!
The mirror by the stair landing that drags you into the underworld!
S-Something like that doesn't exist!
It's the era of Scientific Ninja Tools!
Then let's investigate the Academy at night!
What?!
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
THE SEVEN MYSTERIES INVESTIGATIVE TEAM FORMS!
"The Seven Mysteries Investigative Team Forms!"
We're going to make our way to each of the Seven Mysteries!
