Naruto Shippūden (ナルト 疾風伝)

THIRD HOKAGE (VOICEOVER): Iruka.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): What is it, Lord Hokage?

THIRD HOKAGE (VOICEOVER): I know how you feel.

You grew up just like Naruto, without knowing

the love of a mother and father.

Because of the Nine-Tails attack most people

won't even look at him.

That's why he gets into so much trouble all the time.

So that people will be forced to notice him.

He just wants his existence to be acknowledged,

no matter what form it takes.

The final wish that the Fourth Hokage

made before he sacrificed himself to save our village

was for Naruto to one day be seen as a hero.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): Lord Third, Lord Fourth,

Naruto!

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): There is a hero right before our eyes.

Yeah!

Hip-hip-hooray!

WHITE ZETSU (VOICEOVER): I never imagined that someone

as powerful as Pain would be defeated.

BLACK ZETSU (VOICEOVER): We've gotta tell Tobi about this.

Let's go.

What do we do?

Oh, come on.

What are you kidding me?

You're getting tired already?

We only just left the village.

Not that.

I was thinking about how Lord Raikage was when we left.

Listen.

We shall rescue Bee no matter what.

We will save him!

Lord Raikage.

-What if Lord Raikage is still crying even now,

and his tears are dripping down, and creating a pond,

and then making it larger and larger until it becomes

a big lake, and what if when we return to the village,

it becomes all wet like the Hidden Rain?

What do we do then?

Ugh.

Come on.

Give it a rest, would you?

Something like that is impossible, and you know it is.

Tears can't create a lake, no matter how hard somebody cries.

-Maybe for normal person, but we're

talking about Lord Raikage.

Just think of the awesome amount of power he has.

He could cry himself a lake in no time.

Actually, let's forget I even mentioned a lake.

I bet that he could cry up an entire ocean.

And if a giant wave from that ocean swallowed us

up, what do we do then?

What are we gonna--

Shut up!

Stop!

Listening to you go on and on completely wears me out.

I could understand Samui getting tired because

of the way that those gigantic breasts of hers--

but how are you tired?

You have no breasts.

Shut up!

Look.

Enough of this, you two.

We're just starting out on our mission here.

It'll be days before we reach the Leaf Village.

Do you really plan on keeping this up all day?

We can't afford to keep wasting time like this.

Now let's move out.

Right.

Such devastation.

-Guess you'll be teaching outside for a while.

-Let's see if we can salvage anything.

Something for the class.

Yes.

That's a good idea.

All right.

Let's spread out then.

Scatter.

This place is a wreck too.

But this tree- it survived.

Here goes!

Bombs away!

Hahaha!

Bullseye!

Operation Red Nose Hokage is complete!

Woohoo!

He's incorrigible.

Lord Hokage, please, I need to think about this.

I don't know about becoming Naruto's teacher.

-As you know, nearly every single person in this village

is troubled by Naruto's mischief,

and his irksome pranks are becoming

more and more troublesome each and every day.

No one wants to take him on as a student.

I believe that a teacher's job is

to enhance each student's inherent virtues.

Now listen, if Naruto is not able to graduate from

the Academy, he cannot become a ninja.

He'll remain an outcast in this village

for the rest of his life.

-Surely someone else is a better fit.

-If he cannot find a teacher, then I'll have no other choice

but to expel Naruto from the Academy.

Just forget about it.

No one's going to blame you for how you feel.

And even if we do have to kick him out,

it certainly wouldn't be your fault.

Please, wait.

What's that?

Then you've decided to take the job?

Uh-- well fine.

Oh.

Excellent.

That's really good to hear.

You've no idea how much good this will do Naruto.

-And keep wiping until every speck of that graffiti is gone.

Look.

It's that-- that kid.

-Why do they even let that boy stay in the village anyway?

-Lord Hokage should have more consideration for us.

Shut up!

Hey!

Come back here.

I'm not "that kid."

I'm Naruto Uzumaki.

And-- and I'm going to be Hokage one day.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): It was just a dream.

What?

Oh yeah.

That's right.

I almost forgot I start a new class today.

Well, you never get a second chance

to make a good first impression.

I gotta give him the greeting that he deserves.

-Another day, another chance to raise some hell!

Come on, Akamaru.

Hey.

Where you going?

Come on.

Iruka-sensei.

So you volunteered to be Naruto's new teacher, huh?

That's right.

The Third Hokage asked, so I couldn't say no.

-It looks like you got the short end of the stick, I'm afraid.

-Frankly, I've been feeling a bit lost.

I don't how to do this.

Well, he sure is a handful.

Listen.

Take my advice.

You don't have to give him the same attention

you give your other students.

What do you mean?

-Just don't make a big fuss about it every time he acts up.

I've found that if you can ignore them,

bothersome kids tend to go away all on their own.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): All right.

I'll take your advice.

Who did this?

Of all the juvenile pranks!

Whoa!

I got you!

That eraser was nothing but a decoy!

And you totally fell for it, too!

Naruto!

-You don't have to give them the same attention

you give your other students.

Naruto.

Yeah.

I know.

Go stand in the hallway.

No.

Go and take your seat.

Huh?

What a letdown.

I was sure he'd get yelled at.

I was kind of looking forward it to to tell you the truth.

This place is so boring.

Good morning.

First allow me to introduce myself.

Starting today, I'm your new homeroom teacher, Iruka Umino.

My favorite food is each Ichiraku Ramen,

and my least favorite food is mixed rice.

I was born on May 26th, so I'm a Gemini.

My hobbies include going--

Therefore, a person's chakra

is greatly influenced by that person's mental energy.

-Just don't make a big fuss about it every time he acts up.

Hold on.

Sensei, isn't it already time from class to be over?

What?

Just look.

See for yourself.

Oh.

I didn't realize it was so late.

Well then, that's everything for today.

I'll see you tomorrow.

-I knew he'd fall for that old trick.

That makes break number three.

Boy, that smarts.
