Naruto Shippuden

RECORDING

RECORDING Naruto, Hinata, congratulations on your marriage!

Huh?

Oh!

What're you doing, Sai?

Where's your congratulatory message?!

Well, I don't think I can say it well.

You're a former Team 7 member!

You're gonna do this!

RECORDING

RECORDING Naruto, Hinata, congratulations on your marriage!

RECORDING Hey, you're being too stiff…

RECORDING Naruto, Hinata, congratulations on your marriage!

RECORDING Uh, act more natural.

Like I told you before, I don't think I can say it well.

Naruto! Hinata!

To the both of you... Have a hot, hot, hot married life!

Brother Lee, you're way too close…

When you say it, it doesn't sound like a congratulatory message…

Something's missing!

SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH

SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH Guy Sensei!

SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH My dear Lee…

Think if your hot-blooded wish will permeate through the lens

and be conveyed 100% to Naruto and Hinata

when your message is played.

It needs something symbolic on-screen.

I know! The sunrise!

The sun rising over the horizon

to mark the beginning of their married life together!

Give your message with the sunrise in the background…

and you'll increase the impact of your hot-blooded feelings by 300%!

Don't take them too seriously.

RECORDING

RECORDING Hi Naruto and Hinata! I hope you're well!

RECORDING What's up with that?

RECORDING Of course, they're well.

RECORDING Hey, enough with the wisecracks!

RECORDING Tadah!

Hey Naruto! Hinata!

How ya doin'?

Hey Kiba! Don't butt in!

– Isn't there anyone who's a friend of – I heard you were making

– Big Brother Naruto who'll let me – a congratulatory video!

– get a proper message? – I searched for you all over town!

RECORDING

RECORDING Uh, Naruto, Hinata… congratulations on your marriage....

Iruka Sensei, you're too nervous, c'mon!

Sorry, sorry! I'm not good at these sorts of things.

Just say what you feel.

If he hears his mentor, Iruka Sensei, speaking from his heart…

Big Bro Naruto's gonna cry!

His mentor? That's going a bit too far.

Okay, let's go for a comment that's deeply moving! Here we go!

Ah… Um… Well…

I can't think of anything so suddenly, so can we do this later?

Since Naruto's getting married…

Naruto's Wedding

Naruto, Hinata…

Naruto! Hinata!

Congratulations on your nuptials…

That's too stiff!

Iruka Sensei!

Big trouble!

Look at what they did to the memorial statue!

THE THIRD HOKAGE Look at what they did to the memorial statue!

What do we do?

Now, Sadoru Sensei, you just became an instructor recently,

so I understand how upsetting this is.

But this sort of thing is quite minor…

Hey!

Tsukune, Sansho, Mibuna!

So, this is your doing, after all.

How'd you know we were here?

I know exactly what you're thinking.

We were just playing hide-and-seek!

Don't go off and treat us like criminals!

Don't lie!

I bet you enjoyed seeing Sadoru Sensei having a hard time, didn't you?

No!

You don't even like, have any proof. So, stop jumping to conclusions!

I see.

So, you guys didn't do this graffiti…

For a prank, it looked pretty cool, so I figured it was you guys…

Hey, you've got a good eye!

To tell you the truth, I'm really proud of it!

Shh!

Make sure you clean it up completely!

– Yes, sir… – Yes, sir…

You're amazing, Iruka Sensei!

Compared to Naruto's antics, this is cute.

Naruto?

You mean, Naruto Uzumaki?

Were you his teacher?

Huh? Well, yes…

– No way! – No way!

Naruto Uzumaki, the super-famous Naruto Uzumaki, right?

He's on a completely different level!

There's no way an ordinary teacher

– like you taught him, Iruka Sensei! – Ordinary…teacher?

You're just trying to inspire us…

by saying that even Naruto Uzumaki was a bad kid,

so us bad kids should try our best, right?

Yeah, like, don't make up stories if you want to send us a message.

I-I see…

Well then…

While you're at it, rake the yard and clean the toilets!

– What?! – What?!

– No fair! – No fair!

"I really did teach Naruto."

Even if I said that, students now wouldn't believe me.

Naruto is a super-hero to them.

Oh, there you are!

Iruka Sensei, do you have a minute?

Yes?

Vice-principal? Me?!

You've been here a long time.

And you're popular among your colleagues.

You would be perfect person for the job.

TEAM 5 TEAM 6

Lord Kakashi, I've brought you some tea.

Can you drop the "lord"?

Is anything the matter, sir?

You seem quite perturbed.

And don't be overly formal.

I'm not used to it.

Anyway, the date for Naruto and Hinata's wedding is set, right?

I'm thinking of a way for everyone to be able to attend.

I see…

If everyone attends the reception,

we won't be able to fulfill any missions on that day…

let alone handle any emergencies.

Their close circle of friends are all significant jonin now, right?

It would be a problem if all of them are unavailable.

RECORDING

RECORDING Naruto, it's been awhile.

RECORDING I hear you're getting married—

That's right!

The previous Hokage, Lady Tsunade,

had a rule in case of emergencies like this.

Huh?!

"One: when there is a marriage among shinobi,

the gift that each shinobi will present will be assessed

to determine who shall attend," it seems…

Huh?! What's up with that? It's got to be a joke.

It seems like a joke, but it's right here.

You're right!

But this is like eliminating people by the size of their gift.

Perhaps so, but it's the rule.

No one would agree to something

that measures friendship like that.

I'll be called the worst Hokage in history.

I understand how you feel,

but it's more important to fulfill the responsibility

that's right before you, as the Hokage.

Welcome!

I'll have ramen.

Make mine a super-size ramen!

Oh! Iruka Sensei!

Did you come up with a congratulatory message?

Uh no, sorry, I forgot…

An advancement exam?!

One of the board officials recommended I take it to become vice-principal.

W-Wh…? Why only Iruka Sensei?

Does that mean I'm not among the candidates?!

No, that's not right!

What's the matter, Ebisu Sensei?

N-No, nothing's the matter.

But this is a great opportunity!

Oh?

His mentor is being promoted…

This will make Naruto's wedding even more auspicious.

Then we'll have to start calling you Vice-Principal Iruka.

Oh, please stop.

I haven't even decided if I'll take the test or not.

Huh?!

You're not going to pass up a chance like this, are you?!

Ebisu Sensei, you look sorta glad.

I admit I'm grateful for the chance to be promoted. Besides…

Naruto Uzumaki, the super-famous Naruto Uzumaki, right?

There's no way an ordinary teacher like you taught him, Iruka Sensei!

I know I should strive to get ahead.

But there's a part of me that wants to continue teaching kids one on one.

Of course!

You shine in the classroom, Iruka Sensei. You really do!

I still think you seem a little too happy…

What's up?

Lord Kakashi…

Could you drop the "lord" part?

How long have you been there? I didn't notice you at all.

Well, you were all going on about Iruka Sensei…

So, I didn't want to interfere.

Lord Kakashi…

I mean, Kakashi…

Is something going on with you as well?

Oh, no…

But what's going on with you, Iruka Sensei?

He was asked to take the advancement exam for vice-principal!

Vice-principal?
