Hey boys, listen up!
Humans aren't such a big deal
Who needs tomorrow anyway,
so don't hide your fists
You're not old enough
to sell your dreams away to uncertainty
Hey boys, you're the only ones
who can pull the trigger in your heart
All the kids said
We're living in this senseless, ridiculous,
awesome world right at this moment,
All the kids said
Don't forget every truth or lie
All the kids said
We're way too young to die
In this empty town lined with empty faces
All the kids took off
into this windless night
Because they want to change something
It's so quiet, isn't it?
Peace is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
Being able to... drink sake tranquilly like this...
Please, this isn't the time to be drinking sake!
Especially at a time when the village is enjoying peace...
you should hurry up and finish up your work!
Why is it that work never seems to cease?
That's because you never bring a single thing to completion, Lady Tsunade!
There's disquiet among the Kamizuru Clan?
That's a communiqué from the ANBU Unit
stationed in the Land of the Earth, isn't it?
That's a name one rarely hears.
The Kamizuru Clan are the insect handlers of the Hidden Stone Village.
Long ago, they were so famous as to be extolled
as equals of the Aburame Clan...
But they've died out and hardly anyone remembers their name...
I see...
It says there's been some disquiet, but there can't be many of them left.
It's really nothing to worry about...
What's the difference? Don't All Insects Look Alike?
Wow... There are so many insects...
This is truly a paradise for insects...
We won't get stung, will we?
Almost none of these insects will cause bodily harm to humans.
I do have some of the Aburame Clan's secret recipe insect repellant...
but I would prefer not to use it, if at all possible.
Because it would also repel the Bikochu.
Then you shouldn't have brought it out in the first place.
There's no mistake...
That kid in the lead...
he's a member of the Abarame Clan, after all.
I never imagined that we'd bump into them in a place like this.
Is their objective the Bikochu, Jibachi?
Anyone who wants to get their hands on a Bikochu
has to come to this place during this particular period.
The restoration of the Kamizuru Clan rests on the outcome of this mission...
We need to get our hands on a Bikochu, no matter what!
This is a female bikochu.
Pound its characteristics into your heads.
Okay!
Got it.
Hey, I've seen this thing before...
Hey, really?!
Where did you see it, Naruto?
That was...
When I inadvertently leave some food out, they start coming out of nowhere.
A whole deluge of them...
So those were Bikochu...
If it's those things, they should be easy to catch.
Hey...
Naruto...
Those are called... cockroaches.
Huh? Cockroaches?
You're comparing apples to oranges.
This thing is completely different!
They look exactly identical to me...
- They're not! - They're not!
Depending on how one looks of it, this could be an opportunity.
What do you mean, Suzumebachi?
It's been ten days since we came here...
we haven't been able to get any leads on the Bikochu.
However, that kid from the Abarame Clan might...
That makes sense!
You mean they might be able to catch a Bikochu...
From their appearance, it seems they're all Genin.
If they're able to catch a Bikochu...
we'll just take it from them.
All insects look alike.
Insect Summoning Jutsu!
There aren't any... here...
This thing here is different too, huh...
Huh?
Don't be a burden to everyone...
This mission is something that I suggested...
so I will find it without fail!
Byakugan!
Just as I thought...
it's difficult to perceive things as small as insects.
Huh?!
Shino! Kiba!
Hinata... Did you notice too?
So... you did too?
I guess... they think they're hiding...
Unfortunately for them,
we have a whole array of specialists in detecting enemies.
What should we do, Shino? You're the leader of this mission.
If we end up in a battle, there's the danger of involving the insects...
and injuring the Bikochu.
As long as they don't make a move, we'll just watch them closely.
Got it.
I wonder if... Naruto noticed.
If he had noticed, he would have raised a big clamor.
I don't want to stir things up. So don't tell him.
Okay...
Hey, Shino! Shino!
I found it! I found it!
I'm telling you, I found a Bikochu!
He found it already?!
That's impossible!
When we spent ten days searching and couldn't find one...!
Awesome, Naruto...
Are you sure, Naruto?
Let me see it.
See... this is it, right?
It's exactly like the photo, right?
I might be an insect hunting genius.
Huh?
Does it look the same to you?
Huh?
That's called a goliath beetle...
Huh?! It's not the same thing
Bikochu aren't active at night.
Which means that...
Let's call it a day then.
Shino... Shino!
I found one! This time there's no mistake!
It's probably a completely different insect again.
Naruto...
Yeah! There's no mistake!
Over here! Over here!
If you don't hurry, it'll fly off somewhere!
Hey, didn't you bring it with you?
I found one that's resting in a tree.
The shape of its feelers is certainly the same as Bikochu.
And all the characteristics match.
They do, don't they? There's no mistake it's this thing, right?!
B-But... Naruto...
This thing is different after all, isn't it?
Why is that?
It's not only size! How would you make this one sniff scents?!
Like this!
This thing is called a Fake Bikochu.
It has an extremely violent temperament...
It gets angry if one touches its nose and sometimes even eats humans...
What?
Huh?
Hey, Shino! Didn't you say there weren't any dangerous insects!
Almost none... but not zero.
Kurobachi... Jibachi...
Do you really think they'll be able to catch a Bikochu?
- That might be difficult... - That might be difficult...
Unless I control my Chakra more perfectly
I won't be able to find something as small as an insect!
To come all this way and continue training...
That's quite admirable...
The air pressure has changed.
That's a sure sign that the weather will change.
Yeah, I realize that.
A wind charged with moisture has started blowing...
This means there's gonna be rainfall.
When it's such good weather?
But I can see clouds off in the distance...
Hinata...
We need to hurry.
Because it's said that the Bikochu only lays an egg when it rains
and larva emerges from the egg the following morning.
In other words,
if it rains today, it'll become a mature larva tomorrow morning.
In view of the season, this may well be our last chance.
If this chance slips by,
it will become impossible to search for Sasuke using a Bikochu...
Sasuke...
It'll be fine. I'll find it without fail!
Don't rain... Don't rain yet!
Damn! Where is it?!
Please come on out before it rains!
Naruto...
What are we gonna do...
if those guys don't find a Bikochu, Suzumebachi?
It was the Aburame Clan
who was the catalyst in the downfall of the Kamizuru Clan...
In order to avenge our clan's longstanding grudge...
we will finish them off!
Those guys... They haven't made a move yet.
They must know that we're searching for the Bikochu.
Which means that they must be waiting for us to find one.
I see... So their plan is to steal it from us once we've found one...
What cheapskates...
Rain...
Not this one either!
Damn! When I told it not to rain!
There's no more time...
Don't be a burden to everyone...
So ultimately... I contributed nothing.
There's still plenty of time!
Naruto...
I will not go back on my word... That's my Way of Ninja!
That's right...
This mission is something I suggested!
When Naruto hasn't given up, what's up with me giving up?!
Hinata!
This rain may be very advantageous to you.
What do you mean?
When the surrounding temperature cools,
living creatures become easier to discern.
Naruto, I won't give up either!
Byakugan!
I have to... I have to concentrate more...
I need to... I need to... control my Chakra!
I can see them! So those are insects!
That insect...is wrong...
This insect is wrong too.
That's...!
There it is!
Naruto! On the side of that tree! There's a Bikochu there!
I caught it!
We did it...!
I did it! I caught it!
There's no mistake. It's a female Bikochu.
- Yes! I did it! - Cripes...
Your tenacity amazes me, Naruto!
That's so great, Naruto!
Hinata! It's thanks to you!
Naruto... is... hugging me!
What's the matter, Akamaru?
All right! It's an egg!
It laid an egg, huh...
Really?
It will emerge by tomorrow...
So then we should make it recognize Sasuke's scent, right?!
Sasuke... I'll find you without fail!
It looks like they finally found one...
The time has come, hasn't it?
Yeah...
That Naruto... He suddenly...
pressed his face so close to mine...
So... you were able to dodgerthat one just now.
That was pretty well done for a Genin.
They're the ones who've been trailing us all this time...
However, I wonder if you'll be able to escape from this attack?
Ninja Art... Honey Jutsu!
Bees?!
No... that's!
It looks like you've noticed, huh. That's honey.
Honey that adheres like a bonding ag ent!
I used up all my Chakra earlier...
That thing is a real bee.
Naruto...
What do you think, Akamaru?
I see...
I was convinced that those guys would make some kind of move.
There hasn't been any sign of them since earlier on...
There's a possibility that we've overlooked something.
Hey, Naruto!
Huh?
Where's Hinata?
She said she was gonna go wash her face.
Hmm...
But it's been quite some time. I wonder what she's doing?
Could it be that...?!
Huh? What?
- Naruto! - Wha?!
A letter on a Kunai?
Huh?!
We are holding the Kunoichi brat hostage.
If you want to get her back,
it'll be in exchange for the Bikochu.
Come to the top of the eastern hill later tonight.
Damn! So that was their move!
Hinata...!
Crappy news pass us by
And you become speechless
My voice is way too soft
So you don't answer
You're crying Crying alone
What can I do? I'm crying too
"Let my lonely scream ring out through the night"
I'll thrash this confused era with my speed Yeah
And I'll thrash this confused night with my speed Yeah
I'll thrash them with my piercing guitar and my speed Yeah
This sinking world and its evil bastards, I'll kick their butt Yeah
