02x57 - The Reason I Can't Lose

[bunniefuu]

Damn it!

Watch closely.

Shuriken Jutsu isSarada's specialty!

After all, she's got the Uchiha Clan'sbloodline, Mr. Sasuke!

Boruto, if that's your reasoning

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Shouldn't this jutsube your specialty?

Probably

That's Dad's special jutsu!

No more excuses

Naruto can do overa thousand clones.

I swear I'll play an active role in the Second Round!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

You barely managed four.

Just who do you think you are?

Huh? What do you mean?

Just us isn't enough?

Exactly.

Hey, newbie.

You're being way too arrogant.

Huh?

All clones are equal.

No they're not!

Yeah, I've given it my all here

“ Damn it! A thousand “ We have history, ya know!

No, I'll make ,.

That's impossible.

It's absolutely impossible.

Don't say impossible!

Damn it!

The Reason I Can't Lose

You're late.

You were both too early,that's all.

So? What did you wantto talk about?

I was att*cked.

It was on the way toHidden Leaf Village.

There should have been a barrier placed

Oh, you mean that thin paper-like thing?

You must be the one

who att*cked the Eight Tails.

Eight Tails?

Oh, my superiors did that.

I understand you once had one inside of you, too.

Wasn't it called the One Tail?

I got you.

Hmm How very primitive.

What's that called? Willpower?

Honestly, it's not very effective.

Why you !

Well, no matter.

Lord Kazekage! What happened?!

Huh?! Who are you?!

Oops.

Oh well, I got what I was fishing for

So, I'll excuse myself now.

It was probably the Otsutsuki Clan.

The same as Kaguya's clan?

The scroll that I retrievedfrom Kaguya's palace

is being deciphered right now.

He was already aware that Shukakuis no longer inside me

I see

I guess there's no choicebut to postpone the Chunin Exams.

But the Feudal Lords, who wereonce bitter foes in the past,

are also joint sponsors.

These exams haveimportant significance.

Yes.

The current climate of uncertainty isprecisely what they're targeting,

so to postponethe exams now will

seriously damage the reputationof the Land of Fire

as well as the Hokage's.

And, should that happen,

the hardliners in my village willalso try to exert their power.

I'd like to try and avoid that.

Governing is so annoying.

Then, it's all the more reason

to hurry with the decipheringof the scroll

What a headache

If only we could b*at ground zero like Sasuke.

Perhaps you're right.

How is your injury?

Don't misjudge me, Mizukage.

It takes much more to hurt me.

This is nothing.

I understand

The Second Round consistsof capturing the flag.

You must guard your own flag

while attacking enemy territoryto seize their flag!

Do you understand?

This is a team battle,three against three.

Which means that half the teams herewill be disqualified.

All right, teams go toyour territories!

Begin!

I can't move

One down

Too bad!

Chocho!

I got it!

Watch out, you two!

There are so many jutsuwe've never seen!

Huh?!

"Scooped" it fromright under your noses.

We also scooped the poolwith time to spare, by the way.

If you like the way that sounds,feel free to use it.

Denki!Get a hold of yourself!

What is this jutsu?

We can't let it end here

Please just don't disappoint me.

Not yet. It's just begun!

No, we're done.

You lost when you got caught upin my provocation,

and forgot about the rules.

That's ”!

Looks like most ofthe matches are over.

There's just

one team left.

I don't see the enemy

I wonder if it's okay.

I'm guarding the flag.

So relax, and att*ck!

I won't forgive you,if you let it get taken!

Who do you think you're talking to, ya know?

If we're going to showLord Hokage how strong we are,

we just have to make it throughthe Second Round!

We're counting on you, Boruto.

You don't have to remind me!

Hey triplets!

Your surprise att*ck failed.

As you can see,it's five against three.

So, you know who hasthe edge, right?

Who did you say has the edge?

Sure, I know

Since it's nine against five.

Sarada! You go on ahead!

I'm going back right now!

Ah Nine to five isn't gonna work.

If we only had a thousand

After all, four was allhe could call up.

Okay, reverse!

Hold it!

CHUNIN

CONGRATULATIONS ON PASSINGTHE FIRST ROUND!DO YOUR BEST INTHE SECOND ROUND! ” FROM DAD.

I can't lose here!

That's right!

I have to passthe Chunin Exams and

proceed on the path tobecoming the Hokage!

I'm not gonna let you!

WATER

Water Style b*llet:

Orca!

There's no water here,

but he can releasea Water Style of this caliber?!

It's over!

He can even use

Lightning Style?!

We're good here.

Boruto! Are you all right?!

Were you saying that to me?

What? You got hit earlier.

We're good here!

Sarada, go for the flag!

I'm on it already!

All right!

We got it!

Looks like we managed somehow.

With just enough to spare.

You're something else, Boruto.

You're the shinobi who'll becomethe Hokage, after all.

I'm the one who got the flag!

I didn't see him weave the signsfor the Water Style

Impressive.

To weave signs fasterthan the eye can see

I guess he's the Hokage's son,after all.

Okay, we've got our four teams.

We're done.

He passed the Second Round.

It seems he used it this time.

I see

So he used it at last.

Did you get the footage?

Of course!

Boruto!

This means Lord Seventhwill finally get to see

how strong we arein Round Three!

Y-Yeah

You're right!

Hey

What is it?

H-Hey c'mon.

I thought so.

Y-You thought so?

Your eyes

are even bluer thanLord Seventh's.

Huh?

You think?

They are! I'm sure of it!

Hmm You pay close attention,don't you?

Yeah!

Ask him andtake a close look next time.

Lord Seventh is nice,so he wouldn't say no.

I can't stand the suspense!

Uh yes

I'm impressed.

About what?

Boruto and his team.

They passed the Second Round.

I see

Okay, see you.

You came here just to tell me that?

Well, it's important.

By the way, Shikadai's teammade it too.

Round Three consists ofone-on-one combat.

We might just get to seea showdown between our sons!

Yes!

Here, I'll let you have one

Thanks!

If you'd passed

Denki!

Are you okay, Denki?

Huh? Yeah.

I've gotten stronger sinceentering the Academy.

I see.

That's good

Hey, worry about us too!

Oh, sorry.

Just kidding.

Looks like you guys won.

Yeah.

Yup.

We did terribly.

We got our butts kicked.

I didn't get nervous!

But I couldn't do a thing.

Me too

I held back everyone.

What's done is done.Don't sweat it!

We probably weren't ready for this.

For sure, there were jutsuwe never saw before

And we knew nothingabout our enemies.

Maybe we were just lucky.

You think so?

Fortune favorsthe bold and hungry.

Okay, you put inan extraneous word there.

Anyway !

Don't lose, you guys!

That is right!

Yup. We'll be rooting for you.

Yeah!

Uh-huh!

Right!

Just don't get too carried away.

“ You'll get it if you lose! “ I'm so hungry!

I'm home.

Welcome home!

Congratulations, Big Brother!

It's only the Second Round.It's not a big deal.

Are you okay?

Did you get hurt?

I'm perfectly fine. It was easy!

Well

I'm exhausted.

I'm going to my room and sleepuntil dinner's ready.

Boruto?

Sorry you made a wasted trip.

I've ordered a rush ondeciphering the scroll,

but it seems they need more time.

I see I'll come back later.

Sasuke

I understand you're training Boruto.

Did Boruto tell you?

No, I heard it from Konohamaru.

I see

He came to me, and askedto be my student.

So you're his teacher.

Maybe you were right, after all.

The soul of a shinobinever changes

even if the world changes.

That's what I believe.

Sarada passed too.

And, so?

At least look a little happy.

I knew from the startthat she would,

so what's there to celebrate?

This thing really is amazing!

As long as I have this

Huh? Is it dinner time?

What ?

Dad!

Hey!

So, uh

I mean today's

Chunin Exams The Second Round

I heard you passed.

Huh?

Y-Yeah

What?

If it's nothing, can you just go?

You

You did great.

Well, see you later.

You came in here,just to say that?

Well

I-It's important

This is something really important.

Oh, and by the way

What?

Don't lose to Shikadai.

Like I'd lose!

I'll be watching.

See ya!

If that's all you had to say,you could have just emailed me.

Stupid old man!
