Naruto (ナルト)

kaki narase sonzai wo

rock away your existence

koko ni iru to

shouting that you are here

arata na tabi ga ima hajimaru

a new journey begins now

kawari yuku kisetsu no naka wo ikinuku tabi ni bokura

as we survived through the changing seasons

chie to tsuyosa wo te ni ireta kedo JUST LOOKS LIKE SURVIVAL GAME

we gained knowledge and strength (just looks like a survival game)

nagareteku jikan no naka ni

but the forgotten memories

okizari ni shita omoi wo

of the feelings abandoned within the flows of time

wasureta koto sura wasurete ita

have also been lost

kuzure kaketa toki kodoku wo shitte

when sinking down we learned loneliness

deaeta bokura hitori ja nai

but now we've met each other we are no longer alone

sarake dase kanjou wo banjou no omoi wo

unveil your feelings those high emotions

namidame ga unmei wo kaete yuku

those tears will change your fate

yami ni uchi narase kodou wo

pound your heartbeat against the darkness

kitto aeru yo onaji itami no hata no moto de

we're sure to meet under the same flag of pain

Wait, Naruto!

I won't wait.

I told you not to be acting on your own.

Then you're saying to leave Sumaru be?!

Sumaru just now seemed quite upset...

He's definitely intending to get revenge on Akahoshi.

Now that he's been tarred with the reputation of Rogue Ninja,

he'll have no place to go throughout his life

if he raises a hand against the village leader.

Hokuto?

Mother!

I finally...

I finally got to meet you...

Mother.

The Star Shines Brighter

What're you doing?

Don't be acting on your own anymore.

But, something's strange.

This number of Ninja is indeed something serious.

It seems they've mobilized all of the village Ninja.

Anyway, we should see how things go for a little while.

Byakugan!

Sumaru's inside the training room...

Hey, what about Sumaru's mom?

Damn it!

Sumaru...

Do we really have to do away with him?

He's still a kid. Wouldn't it be okay to let things slide?

At this moment, he's a dangerous element.

No good would come of letting him live.

But Sumaru's been the most effective Genin in the village.

We have more than enough materials...

We can just train more...

Materials...?!

I won't stand for it anymore! Leave it to me!

— Forget about it. — Let go of me!

I'm going to kick that Akahoshi jerk's butt.

This is a Star Village issue.

Village issues have to be resolved by those in the village.

Isn't there something we can do for him?

That's right.

Let's charge on in and box Akahoshi's ears...

What're you saying?

That'd be the same as Naruto!

Are you saying we must remain idle spectators

even when things have gone this far?!

That's right!

As long as there's no commission from the village to kick Akahoshi's butt,

there's nothing we can do.

Archer unit! Forward!

Fire!

Until now, I felt resentment towards you, Mother, for leaving me behind.

But... I understand clearly now.

I understand why you had to do that.

Akahoshi... I will never forgive him!

Sumaru...

What a pitiful mother and son, eh?!

What're you talking about...?

I buried them both together... There is no greater happiness.

Incredible Chakra!

Wait!

This jerk's an enemy... He suddenly attacked.

You're Leaf Shinobi, right?

I can tell even if you give me the runaround...

The people from other lands are all after the star.

If you have that power,

you can stand above all of the Hidden Villages.

Is your awesome Chakra also the power of the star?

If they had that star,

would everyone have the same Chakra as you?

No! The more tremendous the power,

the more hard work is required to control it!

I'll work hard, work hard, work hard!

I'll become the Hoshikage!

Yeah! I look forward to working with you at that time!

I'm also going to become the Hokage someday!

You're a strange guy.

Really?

That red star sure is pretty...

Natsuhiboshi...

It watches over me all the time...

Are you still gonna say I should bear it after all this?

Sumaru!

Sumaru...

Listen, everyone.

If you continue the star training, you'll all die.

Sumaru's mother is the one who took away the star.

She did that in order to protect everyone's lives!

Lord Akahoshi?

Is it true that we'll die?

Are you going to believe such nonsense?!

Being unable to withstand the star training

is because the heart that loves the village is weak!

Those who really love the village can become true Shinobi

and can also surpass the Hidden Villages of the Five Great Nations!

Hokuto or Lord Akahoshi... Who's telling the truth?

Mizura?!

In that condition...! It's reckless!

Wait, everyone!

There's... There's something I want everyone to see.

Mizura...

What's that?

What's going on?

Is that the effect of the training?

How awful.

Lord Akahoshi... I take pride in the Hidden Star Village.

Even though it was painful,

I endured it and continued the star training...

Even so, were my feelings for the village still not enough?

Mizura!

I don't think there could be lies in that child's words... and body.

Yes. So that's why the Third Hoshikage prohibited

the star training for a long while.

We adults got carried away with our feelings for the village

and may have made the wrong choice...

You loser!

Do you intend to mislead everyone and crush the village?!

What're you doing, Akahoshi?!

They aren't traitors.

They're children of our village!

Protect Hokuto and Mizura.

Are you going to betray the village?!

I can't go along with your way of doing things, Lord Akahoshi!

Me, too.

Me, too!

Me, too.

Me, too.

Death to those who betray the village!

Execute them all!

Are you insane, Akahoshi?

If we lost all the children, there'd be no future for the village!

Hey... You're taking things too far, Akahoshi.

Take everyone's feelings into consideration and yield for now.

Shut up! What're you doing talking nice now?

We've long since dirtied our hands.

Stop! What're you going to say?

Akahoshi, what do you mean?

There's a star in this village that no other villages possess.
