Yeah, turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength
Even if you get lost, let's start walking
One more time
Are you really happy
when you're always meeting to someone's expectations?
Even if you change to who you really wanna be
Will you always have a great smile?
Dreaming of only "the beginning," I wake up
and someday, I'll live on my own.
Yes, precious things are never in shape
You never know what it is when you get it or lose it
Yeah, turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength
Even if you get lost, let's start walking
One more time
Sakura!
It was worth teaching you Genjutsu in survival training
during the Genin Exam.
You truly have a talent for it.
Huh?
Release the Genjutsu and wake up Naruto and Shikamaru!
Naruto will be delighted.
He'll be getting a mission after such a long while.
What do you mean by a mission?
Be careful...
It's the first A Ranked mission since the Land of the Waves.
Village in Distress. A New A Ranked Mission!
Sensei! What do you mean by A Ranked mission in the condition we are in?!
What do we have to do?!
Sasuke is chasing Gaara and company of the Sand Village.
Sakura...
Release the Genjutsu on Naruto and Shikamaru,
and go after Sasuke.
I feel uneasy... about that unusual Chakra.
But then,
we should wake up Ino and Choji and go in a large group.
There may already be quite a large number
of Sand and Sound Shinobi who have infiltrated this village.
Actions lose quickness when there's more than the fundamental four in a squad...
and it becomes difficult to hide from the enemy.
You learned that in the Academy's patrol practical training, right?
Oh, I see! Then four means that you'll come with us...
No, I must not leave here.
Summoning Jutsu!
As for the rest, this Pakkun will track down Sasuke by scent!
C -Could it be... the one other member is this puppy?!
Hey! Little girl! Don't you be calling me a cute puppy!
I didn't say...cute.
Okay, Sakura! Release the Genjutsu on Naruto and Shikamaru!
Okay!
Release!
What is it... Sakura?
Get down!
I'll tell you later! Just stay down!
Shikamaru... you were... from the beginning...
Owwee!
You were able to release Genjutsu, too!
Why were you pretending to be asleep?!
Humph! I don't want to end up getting involved!
Heck no... I could care less about Sasuke!
Owwee!
W What's going on...?
Naruto! Behind you!
F-Fast...
Not just fast...
Guy Sensei!
Now, I'll announce the mission!
As soon as you've heard what the mission is, go through that hole.
Track down Sasuke, join up and then stop him!
Then await next orders in a safe place.
Huh? Did something happen to Sasuke?!
I'll tell you the reason en route!
Let's go
Jeez... Why me?
Hey, boy!
Huh?
If this mission is a success,
as a reward I'll let you touch my paw-pads.
So don't sulk like that!
Huh?
See?
They're soft and supple!
Su... pple...?
Yes, very...
Soft and Supple!
Let's just go!
H Hey!
Will it be okay with just them?
They'll be okay. Pakkun is with them.
As long as they don't pursue too far...
To think I'd be able to fight you again...
This barrier can't be broken unless it's from the inside.
If Lord Hokage would just take out one of those four,
we could help...
Hey, it's gonna start soon.
Put up a barrier on the inside, too!
Sure!
Hm... It doesn't look like I'll be able to get out this easily.
You don't really mean that.
It'd be tougher for you if someone came in and got in the way, right?
Ninja Art: Tile Shuriken!
That's too easy!
Striking Shadow Snake!
With such a weak technique...
It sucks to get old, eh, Sarutobi Sensei?
Substitution?!
Earth Style: Great Mud River!
Is this it?
I don't think so!
Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bomb!
Fire Dragon Bomb!
He's combined Earth and Fire!
Excellent, Lord Hokage!
Stop the stupid act, Orochimaru.
Very good...
Really, I've been grossly underestimated.
Did you think you could kill me with that level of Jutsu?
Humph... A hateful fellow as usual!
Don't say that.
A high maintenance student is cute. Right, Sarutobi Sensei?
Something's strange...
All of the Academy's classes doing self study.
And that smoke...
That's coming from the direction of the exam arena.
Isn't there some disturbance to the east?
I wonder if something happened...
This is definitely strange!
But sudden self study is sure a smack in the eye!
It's been like this for a while!
Yeah. Iruka Sensei and everyone are late...
Aren't they, Konohamaru?
Konohamaru?
Yikes!
Jeez, what is this?!
And Mom just bought this for me!
I'll loan you my colored pencil.
What're you saying?! This color is this spring's new color!
Aww, what'll I do?
That is...?
I wonder if Naruto and the others went to stop Sasuke?
Those brats?
But surely, some Genin won't be able to make any difference...
Hm? Is this the data of that kid back there?
You give him too much credit.
Think again!
You'll trip up if you underestimate him.
Teachers Office
There is information that several units have already infiltrated the village...!
We should evacuate the students to a safe place right away!
Yes... And without causing panic among the students!
Then let's evacuate the students
as soon as possible under the pretense of an evacuation drill!
Isn't it about time we stopped playing around?
This isn't an Academy class, so...
You have a point.
Did you foresee your final moments?
I won't go easy on you just because you're doddering.
I look forward to it.
Depending on your Jutsu,
I might have to have you start over at the Academy!
Please don't disappoint me too much!
W Wow...
What Chakra?!
Yeah... It seems the air is bearing down within the body!
Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Summoning Jutsu. Reanimation!
That technique!
One!
He is using a Summoning Jutsu as a shield.
And this dead person is...
Two!
I must stop the third one at any cost...!
Three!
It looks like the third one was no good. Oh well...
It looks like I stopped the third one.
Now, this is where it gets tough...
He summoned those two of all people...
I It can't be! Those personages are...!
Those personages are?
Now, what will you do, Sarutobi Sensei...?
No...
Lord... Third Hokage
Okay! Everyone, please move quickly!
Oh, what a day!
My favorite colored pencil didn't have to break like that!
Lousy evacuation drill... Self study was better.
Konohamaru's been quiet, hasn't he? I wonder what's wrong?
Huh? Yeah.
After the whole school does a long self study,
the whole school does an evacuation drill.
This is too strange!
Okay! Stop! Get in line!
That look on Iruka Sensei's face...
Something's definitely going on here!
And also...
Okay, everyone! Don't go off on your own.
That rainbow... It's been bugging me for a while!
What's that, Old Man? There's a strange rainbow!
It's an unusual rainbow!
Do you like rainbows, Konohamaru?
Yeah! And I've never seen such a pretty rainbow!
I see, I see. But, Konohamaru...
Hmm?
Rainbows used to symbolize snakes...
And it's said that they bode evil.
Such a pretty thing? That's a lie!
I see, I see.
Symbolizes snakes... Is something happening?
Long time no see... Saru.
Oh, it's you... You've gotten old, Sarutobi.
I never thought I would meet the great brothers in this manner...
It's regretful.
This is bad.
That Summoning Jutsu...
Who in the world are they?!
Please prepare yourselves...
Lord First Hokage...
Lord Second Hokage!
That's right...
The one with the black hair is the First Hokage.
The one with the white hair is the Second Hokage.
They are both reputed to be the highest Shinobi
and they are the Hokages who built the today's Leaf Village!
Reanimation, huh?
This youth summoned us with the Forbidden Jutsu, then?
He's something else...
Then, Sarutobi!
Does this mean we must... fight you?
Let's stop the old people get together talk...
Shall we get started?
There's always fighting... no matter when you live.
You like that, don't you?
No good will come by deriding the dead and playing around with time!
I get it! So that's what happened!
That Sasuke, getting all impatient!
So, why am I pulled into this?! This is such a drag!
It can't be helped! It's Kakashi Sensei's order.
This way!
That brat, huh...
Let's go
Everyone makes mistakes It's nothing to be ashamed about
Don't let this scar be for naught Walk with a smile
Yes, breathe in the air Lift your face to the sky and jump
If it rains, take a break Go where the wind takes you
So many regrets Don't let this scar be for naught
Let's go carve the badges in our chest Yes, it's Show Time, life begins now.
Everyone makes mistakes It's nothing to be ashamed about
Don't let this scar be for naught Walk with a smile
Transform sadness into the wind and continue to forge on
Forge on strong
