Anna Karenina

FIRE Today's the day of our new holiday!

THE LEAF VILLAGE'S NEW HOLIDAY PARENT AND CHILD DAY DEEPEN THE BONDS BETWEEN PARENT AND CHILD! "Parent and Child Day."

THE LEAF VILLAGE'S NEW HOLIDAY PARENT AND CHILD DAY DEEPEN THE BONDS BETWEEN PARENT AND CHILD! Have a great time everyone, ya know!

That's gonna air all over the village on Parent and Child Day, huh?

It is what it is.

This is just a part of the duties of a great Hokage.

The desire for a new holiday…

VILLAGE HIDDEN IN THE LEAVES PARENT AND CHILD DAY Back in the day, when we were shinobi,

VILLAGE HIDDEN IN THE LEAVES PARENT AND CHILD DAY the thought never crossed our minds, huh?

There are more non-shinobi citizens these days.

For shinobi, a holiday could mean a day without missions.

For others, it's an annual day of rest.

A day to deepen the bond between parents and children, huh?

Spend some time with your family once in a while, will you?

I bet that even if you go home,

you only sleep and rarely talk to your kids, right?

I'll do what I can to free up your schedule too.

Shikamaru…

Thank you!

P-Please don't push.

Lord Hokage, please sign this document!

No, please sign this one first!

Don't push and form a line!

Please sign!

You'll find time…right?

Y-Yeah… I think it will be fine.

Parent and Child Day!

Sounds good.

I'm definitely gonna make it home and make sure it's a great day, ya know!

Parent and Child Day

Parent and Child Day It's finally Parent and Child Day tomorrow, huh?

I wonder if Daddy will come home?

Well, today he said he'd be able to make it.

He must have a lot to do.

But he'll be home.

Yeah…

That's right!

All right, I'm going to visit Grandpa.

Dad should be home any time now.

Look after Hima, okay?

Yeah! Don't worry.

See you, Mommy!

I'll be going now.

Oww!

Ouch?

Damn it.

You're home, finally.

Boruto?

W-Well, today's Parent and Child Day, right?

I got inundated with requests from the merchants

for food stalls and eating contests and what-not…

I didn't sleep a wink.

Making excuses, cannot be excused!

Uh?!

Hima's been waiting.

I'm leaving it all up to you.

Hey, Boruto…

Aren't you joining us?

I'll be busy training!

See ya!

Well, train hard!

I'm…

home?!

This is what he meant by her waiting?

Hima…

Hey, you okay?

Oh, Daddy. Welcome home.

What are you doing sleeping here?

LEAF TOY STORE NINE-TAILED KURAA-MA I have a request for today!

A request?

Look at this!

Nine-Tailed…Kuraa-ma?

I wanted you to come with me to buy this today.

But…

You just came home now, right?

Uh…

Sorry.

Let me take a little nap.

But we'll go when I wake up.

Oh…

URGENT NEW ARRIVAL! LIMITED EDITION ITEM FOR PARENT AND CHILD DAY!

Okay, Daddy, get some sleep!

We can go together after.

You know, we should go quick ‘cuz they might sell out!

Hima, let's go now!

Uh-huh!

It's a toy of the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit and you take care of it.

And the fox is called Kuraa-ma?

At first, it's inside an egg.

And you pet it and say nice things to it to make it hatch out of the egg.

Oh.

A fox…hatches out of an egg?

And they get happy when you feed them stuff called Food Pills.

It hatches out of an egg, and you feed it…

This Kuraa-ma sounds just like a baby.

Hey, who are you calling a baby?

It's not about you, I'm talking about a toy.

Daddy?

Oh, it's nothing.

I was just talking to the real Kuraa-ma…

TOY STORE

Aren't they open yet?

Hey, I was here first! Don't cut in line.

All these people are here already?!

If it gets out that I'm here, there's gonna be an uproar…

‘Scuse me!

You're in the way!

No one recognizes you, Daddy.

NINE-TAILED KURAA-MA

They're all here to buy Kuraa-ma?

Hey, if it isn't Naruto!

Hey!

Kiba!

Never thought I'd see you here.

Well, I never thought I'd see you out with your daughter.

Are you out shopping with your dad today?

Um… Well…?

Oh, he and your mom were on Team 8 together.

He's Kiba, a Ninja Hound user.

With Mommy?

Don't you remember me?

I guess the last time I saw you, you were about Akemaru's size…

Oh, how cute!

The big one's Akamaru and the little one is Akemaru.

Hi, nice to meet you!

Seeing you here must mean… that you're after Kuraa-ma too?

Yeah, Hima wants one.

What about you?

Huh?

Uh, an acquaintance asked me to pick one up.

Actually, I wasn't asked.

But she saw the poster

and she was all, "The fox is so cute!"

I figured she'd be happy if I secretly got one for her…

So, it's a surprise present for your girlfriend?

U-Uh…

That's great!

Hinata would worry if you and Shino stayed all alone!

This has nothing to do with the old Team 8!

Kuraa-ma's really cute, so I'm sure she'll love it.

Think so?!

All right then! I'll totally get one!

Yeah!

See you later!

Hurry, Daddy!

Okay!

Akamaru, watch Hima!

Damn it!

It sold out…

Huh?

I wonder if Daddy got one…

All right!

Daddy, you bought one?!

Yeah. They had quite a lot on hand, so it was easy to find.

Hurry, hurry!

Okay, okay.

Here's the toy you waited so long for…

ONE-TAILED SHUKAA-KU Kuraa-ma!

Oh…

Oh man!

Huh? What's the matter, you two?

Hey, um Naruto, that's…

Shukaa-ku?

It's not Kuraa-ma?!

It's a lookalike made in the Hidden Sand Village.

I didn't get fooled.

Oh…

Even the dogs have had it with you!

D-Damn it!

Since it's come down to this…

Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Hey!

Wake up!

That's fewer than Big Brother…

And, they're asleep.

Damn it. I'll help you.

A-Are you sure?

How can we live with ourselves when she gives us that sad look?

I'll check the new section of town.

You search the old part.

Uncle!

Thank you, Kiba!

All good!

Okay, let's go guys!

Okay, let's go too.

Hurry and climb on.

Daddy's really fast, ya know.

Uh-huh!

Daddy never gives up!

I'll get you a Kuraa-ma without fail!

Okay!

You really thought… you'd find a Kuraa-ma here?
