04x36 - Please, Mr. Postman!

[bunniefuu]

I want to try and gather
the unrestrained winds

I'll run toward the horizon,
alongside the wave crests

I've made my decision,

even if there's a long way to go
on that road.

I'll continue towards the future I've planned

Time rushes us
The heartbeat speeds up

When I woke in the middle of a dream
I kept searching for that same light

Under the shining star lit sky with
countless constellations and shadows

There was something beyond that...
What were you gazing at?

What were you gazing at?

I'm exhausted!

Important solo mission, my butt!

They just didn't have enough manpower
for the castle restoration.

That's not the job of a Shinobi.

Ow ow... I won't hold up if
I don't rest somewhere.

Oh!

I'll take a bath.
Here I go!

Hey...
I'm sounding like an old man.

Wh What?!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Thank you.

Who the heck are you, mister?

I'm a Delivery Ninja!

Please, Mr. Postman!

, , ...

...

No mistake...

Thanks to you Mister Naruto,
all of the postal articles are safe.

By the way, what's a Delivery Ninja?

We are postal professionals
who risk our lives

to deliver the important parcels
our customers have left with us.

In other words, you're a postman.

I am a Delivery Ninja!

Ordinary postmen don't risk their lives.

So you're an awesome postman, huh?

That's right.

Oops, I must not keep
my customers waiting.

Then, I'll be on my way...

Mister! What's your name?!

I'm .

A zip code...?!

Anywhere would be fine
if I can get in a hot spring...

Cripes...
Here it's still day time and...

That voice...

My, you're a strange one, Jira chan.

Am I?

Ah, Pervy Sage!

What?! Who's a Pervy Sage...?!

What's the meaning of this,
Pervy Sage?!

Hadn't you left the village
on an important mission?

That's why I was being patient
about you training with me!

If you've got the free time to be
doing something like this,

help out with my training right now!

W Wait, Naruto.
There's a reason for this...

You probably have some glib lies
about gathering information or something.

You're wrong, you're wrong.
It's data collection, data collection...

You see...

It's my final spurt

for the manuscript of the final volume
of "Make Out v*olence."

What about the mission...?

Well, you see, I'm on a mission.

So don't worry...

What kind of mission?

As it happens, I received information
that a member of the Akatsuki Organization

will be visiting this town
the day after tomorrow.

The Akatsuki Organization!
Then, that Itachi will be...?

I don't know that.
And the same goes for their purpose...

But that's a matter until
the day after tomorrow.

And so, I'm making effective use
of the free time!

Then it's perfect.
Give me some training!

Well... you see, they're so insistent
about the manuscript.

I ended up promising the publisher
that I'd send it today or tomorrow.

Come on! It's a long awaited chance
for training.

If my manuscript were
to be completed early,

I might be able to take
some time for training.

Oh, my shoulders are stiff!

There, there.

Oh, I'm thirsty!

Here you go.

Hot!

Hey, the ideas I just about had
have blown away!

Enough!

I'm taking a bath!

What a hard Sensei to please...

I bet he's going to say
this is data collection, anyway.

We must deliver that secret document

to the feudal lord of the Land of Fangs,
no matter what the cost...

It seems this is where
the Delivery Ninjas always stay.

Oh, they could...

Delivery Ninja?

I can see them now.

This is all I need for
my writing desire to well up...

I'm not getting... inspired with this...

Imagining with your head
is a writer's job, isn't it?

I'm a writer rooted in realism!
Getting a picture is important.

So I wonder if you'd do that for me.

Can you write if I do that?

I'll write, I'll write!

Sexy Jutsu:
Steam Bath Harem Version!

- Master Jiraiya. Jiraiya!
- This is great!

Won der ful!

What a hopeless guy!

He hasn't been able to write at all!

Address, check!
Zip code, check!

Ow ow ow...

Oh, the sealed documents...

Please take extra care with this.

I will take it for you.

Ow ow ow...

Excuse me, can I also ask you
to take this for me?

Oh! Mister Naruto.
Thank you for helping me out yesterday.

Oh! Mister!

I am .

It's hard to remember!

More importantly, I want to ask you
to take care of this!

Hmm... This goes in a different direction...

Have a heart. Please.

Oh, perfect timing.

Huh?! Is this a Shadow Clone?

He is - .

This area should be in your jurisdiction.

It is.

Then I leave it to you...
What was it again?

I am .

Hurry, okay?

Wake up...

Whoa! I fell asleep!

Pervy Sage, let's start training!

What're you talking about?
I must complete the manuscript...

You don't need to worry
about that.

I wrote the manuscript and
sent it to the publisher!

So now you can devote
yourself freely to training...

Right, Pervy Sage!?

You idiot!

Huh?

If something like this were read,
it'll be the end of my writing career!

Ah... Oh... I'm sorry.

You said you sent it to
the publisher, right? How?

I gave it to a Delivery Ninja
in the inn...

D-Delivery Ninjas.

You mean, the one that delivers any
parcel to the addressee, no matter what...

not influenced by any land or institution...
that iron organization?!

After him, Naruto.

We'll chase down the Delivery Ninja,
no matter what...

and retrieve your manuscript
at any cost!

If he's going to the publisher,
he should definitely take this path.

Now what's left is how to
close the time gap...

I hear the leg power of Delivery Ninjas
is extraordinary, though...

Pervy Sage!

Slow down the pace a little, man.

Naruto! This is also training!

To be straight, you're short on leg power!

A Ninja must apply oneself,

connecting this with training,
no matter what the situation!

Excellent, Pervy Sage.
Now you're talking!

It's just like a maze!

We're totally lost...

If we had Hinata's or Neji's Byakugan
at a time like this...

Byakugan! I didn't think of that!

That's the Rasengan, isn't it?!

I'm sorry!

Uh, no, you see...!

This isn't the time to be drooling!

There he is!

After him, Naruto.

R-Right!

Thieves!

Hey, wait!

There's no fool who'd wait
after being told to wait!

As it happens,

the parcel this person here
left with you this morning is a slip up!

That's right!

I have no knowledge of that.

The rule for us Delivery Ninjas

is to deliver parcels once left
with us to the destination,

even if we have to risk our lives!

My life as a writer is also at risk!

Don't look at me.

This is trouble!

Sorry.

To do that to someone
who's doing honest work...

Shut up! When you get right down to it,
it was you who...

Huh?! What's this?!

This isn't the thing you wrote!

Oh!

That time! It got switched with
my manuscript!

Say what?!

This is... a secret document directed

to the feudal lord of the Land of Fangs
from the Land of Claws...

Let me see...
According to the information I've gotten,

the Fang and the Claw could go
to w*r at any moment...

This is a secret document for peace!

They've decided on peace?!
It's written here.

That's a good thing, isn't it?!
w*r is no good!

You! You idiot! The fact that
this secret document is here means

the manuscript you wrote is being taken
to the Land of Fangs!

What'll happen if they read it as
a secret document

from the Land of Claws?

This is bad! No doubt, w*r will begin!

We're going to the Land of Fangs!

R-Right!

This time for sure we'll take back
the manuscript!

Postal thieves...
my customer's important parcel...!

This is bad!

This is . This is !

A postal robbery has occurred!

The thieves are a pair,

a large man with a perverted look
and a kid!

"They appear to be after - 's parcel."

"Members in the area are assigned
to protect - !"

"Stop the thieves in the name
of the Delivery Ninja!"

The only way to get to the Land of Fangs
is to go up this river.

More than likely they will also go
by boat.

Then depending on our speed,
there's a chance we'll catch up.

I'm the one who's got it rough.

You don't have enough physical strength!

Consider this also as training
and apply yourself!

That again?!

Who're those guys?!

It appears reinforcements
have been summoned.

Hurry, Naruto!

Naruto! Switch places!

Rasengan!

Rasengan!

Somehow... the Rasengan looks like
a really cheap Jutsu...

It's for the sake of preventing a w*r!

Our mission of peace is at stake!

- Right!
- Switch.

Huh?

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Rasengan!

Rasengan!

Rasengan!

That's it!

Hey, wait! It's a slip-up!
This is the real one!

They got switched during the commission!

Delivery Ninja old man,
it's the truth!

I'm sorry.

According to our rule,
we are never to look inside

a customer's parcel we have taken on,
no matter what.

If that passes over to the Land of Fangs,

there will be w*r!

Even if that were the case,
I must not break the rule.

You're impossible!

It's the Land of Fangs!

All we do is carry out our duties!

Then... we'll take it away
by force if we have to.

- Postal delivery!
- Postal delivery!

Naruto! Do you know which one it is?!

No, I don't!

I am .

I know! It's !

Where is he?!

Up there!

Naruto, you hold back the front!
I'll rout the rest!

Got it!

I won't let you go past here!

In the name of the Delivery Ninja,

I will not let anyone interfere!

You're an impressive old man...

I too, in the name of the Leaf Ninja,

will take away the manuscript
with a Jutsu!

Let's go!

Harem Jutsu! Riverside Mad Dance!

Mis ter De li very Nin ja.

No, no! This isn't the time to be
doing something like this.

Now, to get cracking with my delivery.

Deliver...

I will deliver.

Hey, where are you going?
Play with me.

No, no! Not that way.

I'll do my best!

Guys! Give me a hand!

- Right! Yeah.
- Okay!

P-P-Postal delivery.

Okay, good work.

This guy's iron will is the real deal...

We're too late, huh...?

Is w*r going to start?!

Th This is!

It's a manuscript of the latest issue
of the Make Out series!

That Land of Claws feudal lord...!

To think he'd know I was a big fan
of the Make Out series!

Everyone!

Stop the fighting!

Send a messenger to
the Land of Claws!

Don't let anybody in...

I kind of don't really get it, but...
with this, there'll be no w*r?

No w*r is fine...

But does this mean my writing power
is the same as Naruto's scribbling...?!

Now then!

Today's the day the Akatsuki Organization
guy comes!

We'll capture him no matter what
and get information about Sasuke...

Pervy Saget?

Sorry, Naruto. There was a development
while you were sleeping.

I will pursue
the Akatsuki Organization as is.

I've been had!

Well... I suppose it made for
some good training...

The wind blows, Ah...

The pain,
The memories won't disappear

What should be brought along?

Assemble them into a piece.

There is no second chance, never

How foolish it is to throw away

Acting so innocently, Ah...

The images.

It probably will not end

It probably will not end

Burn that love filled heart,

Sail across a thousand dreams

Running freely

To take hold of the world in hand

The clouds scatter

The sun sets yet again

The solo parade begins to move.

Adventure, Lucky Day, Heart b*at, Rising,

Decisive, Encounter, Life, Mutual Love

All right, everyone, follow me.

Wait.

We're heading for
the Village Hidden in Stars

on a mission to protect
a mysterious star.

Naruto!

Man, I'm getting fired up.

We all need to work together here.

Now, let's all unite and show
the boundless power of the Leaf.

Hey, don't be following us like
it's matter of course, Naruto.

You're not listed as
a member for this mission.

Next time:
"Encounter! The Boy With a Star's Name"
