Anna Karenina

Namida, stay back and protect our clients!

R-Right!

Sumire, Wasabi, let's go!

– Right! – Yes!

Damn it!

Namida, retreat for now!

I-I can fight too.

Just go!

Oh, Wasabi!

Your jutsu is amazing, Namida!

Y-You really think so?

I get worried since it affects everyone around me!

I wonder if the merchants are okay?

Your jutsu is amazing, Namida!

But we protected their merchandise,

so they'll forgive us, won't they?

Your jutsu is amazing, Namida!

Sumire! Wasabi! Hanabi Sensei!

Don't tell me…

FIRE Blood, Sweat, and Namida

JONIN CHUNIN GENIN Blood, Sweat, and Namida

JONIN CHUNIN GENIN

Namida!

Everyone's okay!

The doctor says we just need to give it some time,

and we'll be fine.

Thank goodness!

Hey!

I heard you captured the Garakuta Gang.

They're the gang of deadbeat shinobi

who target antique art pieces, right?

H-Hey! Are you listening?

Huh? What did you say, Boruto?

Huh? I can't hear at all.

What's going on?

Everyone's lost their hearing because of my jutsu.

Oh…

Well, your jutsu is very strong, Namida.

Huh? Which new TV show is good?

Yeah, that place has really good desserts!

No! We're talking about how strong Namida's jutsu is!

Huh? What did you say?

I said—!

They're like a bunch of old ladies talking…

Anyway, I'm so glad they're going to get better!

But if this always happens, it might affect your missions.

One wrong move and you could end up killing your allies.

Huh? What did you say?

What shop are you talking about?

So, I said—!

Your voices are so low, I can't understand you!

– You're right. – What shop are you talking about?

– I think… – Which TV show?

That shop?

– For everyone's sake… – Huh? Speak up!

– I won't cry anymore! – Yeah, it's really good!

I'm going to start training with a new jutsu!

Huh?

Huh? What did you say, Namida?

Water Style: Raging Waves!

Who knew Namida could use Water Style?

But it doesn't have the power to bring down an enemy.

I think you should re-evaluate how you can use your Crying Jutsu.

That won't work.

I have to get stronger with a new jutsu!

That's why I wanted to ask Sensei how I can do that…

The problem is with chakra control.

Chakra control?

Sumire.

Water Style: Suireiha!

Wow, amazing.

By focusing your chakra into one point, you increase power.

But Namida, when you're scared,

you immediately start to cry and let your emotions take over.

That ends up being the factor that disrupts your focus.

Like I thought, being such a crybaby is…

Hanabi Sensei!

What should I do?! Please teach me!

Oh! This is rare to see you so determined, Namida!

That kind of determination is critical for concentration!

R-Right!

Hey, c'mon!

Where's that spirit you showed earlier?

Focus your chakra!

It's impossible!

Well, infusing chakra while you're moving

strengthens your ability to control it subconsciously.

Byakugan!

C'mon.

You're not focusing your chakra around your mouth.

If you have time to cry, focus!

Please, can we just call it a day?!

– I didn't know Hanabi Sensei – I'm not gonna go easy on you!

– was so strict! – We're not done yet!

Next up is distance!

Make it reach the very top of this park.

All right, Namida!

R-Right…

Is it really possible to reach that far?

It's totally impossible.

No!

You have to keep doing it until you can!

You're the one who asked for this.

You will see this through to the end!

And she's unusually hyped up.

You know that when you slightly plug up a hose,

you can increase the force or the distance the water travels, right?

Visualize that and focus your chakra at your mouth.

A hose?

Finally, let's work on power!

Keep launching your Water Style until you knock over that log.

Namida. Be aware of your control and direct it to one area!

Right!

Until I knock this over?

Hey, no stopping!

Keep on hitting it!

This not only strengthens your power, it will build up your stamina!

She's enduring all this strict training

in order not to cry anymore, for our sake!

Well, I think she's crying on the inside…

We should train too!

So that we don't give her a reason to cry during a battle!

Yeah! You're right, we have to get strong too!

It's sore right around here.

I think I pulled a muscle.

Well, it's because you don't normally use that area!

I can't do this anymore.

Namida, we'll train with you from tomorrow!

Huh?

We'll support you, so let's do our best together!

Yeah, let's get stronger together!

Wasabi! Sumire!

I can take this pain, for you two!

I'm gonna do my best!

Summoning!

Still no good! Next!

It's my turn!

Right!

Here I come!

C'mon!

Oops! Sorry, Namida!

I-It's okay… I'm not done yet!

That's more like it!

Namida's really giving it everything she's got.

Hanabi Sensei…

I didn't know you were so strict!

I've heard before,

that your family's the strongest in Hidden Leaf Village.
