JONINCHUNINGENINRECEPTION - INFORMATION DESKI will now announce your mission.

We're going to transport this?

This is kind of nerve-wracking

Leave it to me!

Hey, what's that?

Oh, this?

It's a secret item thatcures anxiety!

With this I can wave goodbyeto anxiety!

Okay, let's go!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! The Other Side of Anxiety What? You're back already?

The Other Side of Anxiety

The moment I handed it to him,he got nervous

And he dropped it on the spot.

I-I'm sorry.

That thing didn't work at all.

It wasn't because of anxiety!

My hand slipped, that's all!

Why did you start wearing itin the first place?

Oh, this?

I have important training coming upfor which I cannot get nervous!

I bought it just for the training!

He seriously believes somethingthat like will work?

Eight Inner Gates!First Gate of Opening

Open!

Let us begin.

The Eight Inner Gates allows youto free all your limits,

and acquire enormous power.

. GATE OF OPENING. GATE OF REST. GATE OF LIFE. GATE OF PAIN. GATE OF CLOSING. GATE OF JOY. GATE OF SHOCK. GATE OF DEATHThere are eight places that controlthe chakra flowing inside your body.

. GATE OF OPENING. GATE OF REST. GATE OF LIFE. GATE OF PAIN. GATE OF CLOSING. GATE OF JOY. GATE OF SHOCK. GATE OF DEATHWhat you just witnessed,

. GATE OF OPENING. GATE OF REST. GATE OF LIFE. GATE OF PAIN. GATE OF CLOSING. GATE OF JOY. GATE OF SHOCK. GATE OF DEATHis the result of openingthe first of these gates.

It is the only technique that I,being unable to use ninjutsu,

can pass onto you.

I figured it was timeto teach it to you.

The ultimate taijutsu techniquethat you mastered

I'll finally be learning it?

I told you before,the more Gates you open,

the greater this technique takesa toll on your body.

My master, Guy Sensei,

sustained grave injuriesthroughout his entire body

due to the effects ofthe Eight Inner Gates.

And in order to master this technique,above all else

your resolve to face the truth willbe tested to the limits.

Do you have that resolve?

H-Hold on a minute!

Please!I leave it all to you!

What's the matter?

Yes Of course!

What's that necklace?

Oh, this?

It's something that cures anxiety!

Anxiety?

I absolutely cannot afford to get nervousduring this training,

so I found it online!

It really makes me feel great!

Damn it you're so

I'm postponingthe Eight Inner Gates training.

Seems it's a little too soon for you.

H-Huh? Why?

Until you yourself realize why,there's nothing I can teach you.

P-Papa?

Why did Papa say that?

I must do somethingabout my anxiety!

It's still morning and the powerof youth is ablaze in you!

Huh?!

Sorry, sorry!

I was doing my rehab whenI saw you looking troubled!

YOUTH

Gu !

Guy Sensei?!

Is that you Metal?!

You've grown up!

Y-Yes!

But Metal

What's with the long face?

W-Well, you see

I understand

The Eight Inner Gates, huh

Yes

I'm sure my dad's disgusted

at how I always get nervousright away

Hmm

All right, I understand.

Metal, if you're free, hang outwith me today.

Huh?

I'm on my way to teachat the Academy.

Maybe you'll pick upa hint or two.

Let's go!

Uh okay!

Hmm? Are you curious about it?

Oh, I'm sorry! It's just

It's okay.

Thanks to this, I've been ableto focus on rehab.

I can move even betterthan before,

if it's a limited amount of time.

And here I am, worrying about my anxiety.

You're amazing, after all, Guy Sensei!

Amazing! You've trained well!

O-Of course!

This is the least I shouldbe able to do

if I'm going to masterthe Eight Inner Gates!

We were late all becauseof my anxiety

Is just one not effective enough?

I'd better buy one more.

Mr. Guy is a great w*r hero!

Getting to hear him talk is

So exciting!

H-How come you're herewhen you're not students?

Iwabe is a great fanof Mr. Guy's.

What, Denki?

Don't you want to hear him talk?

S-Sure, I want to hear him. I do!

You haven't changed, Iwabe.

Now then, do you rememberthe difference

between ninjutsu and taijutsu?

Of course!

Ninjutsu goes boom! I mean,it has force, and then

Seriously

Ninjutsu is often viewedas essential to a shinobi,

but taijutsu is just as important.

That's because

Without relying on chakra or seals,one can swiftly counterattack

against a foe, right?

Mmm-hmm.

I'm not good at taijutsuso I want to learn more about it.

That's why I came.

I like your spirit!

Just listening to my lecturewill make you stronger!

Yes! I'll pay close attention!

And I'm going to find hints that will help me conquer my anxiety!

Ninjutsu may be important.

However, because I honedmy taijutsu,

I was able to fight side by sidewith Naruto

during the Great Ninja w*r.

And without a doubt,

he was the strongest foewe've ever faced.

His name was

“ His name was “ His name was

I forgot!

Of course, there were thingsI lost as well.

However, we were able to protectwhat we valued the most.

I have no regrets.

Guy Sensei, thank you foryour inspiring talk.

All right, does anyone haveany questions?

Um

You really don't haveany regrets?

Nope, not at all!

Thanks to these legs,I can still persevere!

Instead of lamenting abouthow things are,

confronting the truthmakes people even stronger.

I truly believe that.

H-Huh?!

All right, please demonstrateyour taijutsu.

Will you be okay?!

Don't worry.

Now then

I'm going to ask you twoover there to volunteer.

Huh?

Two of us against you, Guy Sensei?

Are you sure?With that leg?

Of course, you heard me earlier.

I'm more agile than before.

All right.

Two against one is nothing.

Okay, let's begin.

They're all paying close attention!

I can't depend on him.

The match is over!

The winner is Guy Sensei!

Wow! Amazing!

He did it all on one leg

w*r heroes are truly amazing

What's the matter, Metal?You seem depressed.

Guy Sensei,you are really awesome!

Huh?

You faced up to your handicapand conquered it.

Compared to you, I

I'm just not able to conquermy anxiety.

That's why my dad's disgustedwith my weakness.

That's not true, Metal.

I'm sure you've realized whatLee's real intention was.

Huh?

How does one reallyface the truth?

I suggest you thinkabout that once more.

The Eight Inner Gates

The First Gate

How does one really face the truth?

I suggest you think about that once more.

So this is, after all

No, unless I have this,I can't control my anxiety.

Hey, Lee

Guy Sensei

Metal is deeply troubled

When this should bethe springtime of his youth.

I'm very sorry you got involvedwith this.

It's me you're talking to.

Don't be so distant.

Anyway, what do you planon doing with Metal?

Well

I can't keep on dependingon you, Guy Sensei.

From this point on,I'll face Metal in my own way.

We were so close tocapturing the thief

I'm sorry It's my fault.

Yeah, that's true.

There's no doubt that it wasall because of you.

The way those things jangled,

it was like we were announcingwhere we were!

That may be so, but

Without these, I

Metal!

P-Papa?

W-What's going on?

I challenge you!

“ A challenge?! “ A challenge?!

I will be awaitingtomorrow morning

at the Academy training grounds.

Hold on a second!

Th-This is so sudden !

If you want to masterthe Eight Inner Gates,

accept the challenge!

However, I'm inviting people to watch.

Why?

Would that make you so nervous,that you couldn't do anything?

If you can't do it,then just give up now.

It's inconceivable that you canever master the Eight Inner Gates

if you can't facethis challenge head on.

Oh, and

If you manage to hit me just once,you win.

That's quite a predicament

Guy Sensei.

What should I do?

Metal

Does your anxiety scare youthat much?

You're someonewho gets anxious.

I believe that's the realand true you.

Facing up to your true self

The person you are now should beable to figure out what that is.

I wonder if Metal's coming?

He's here!

Metal

You didn't run awayfrom this situation

I prejudged you.

G-Guy Sensei is confronting himselfthrough his rehabilitation.

Whereas I relied on a necklace

and tried to run awayfrom my anxiety.

What's important is notto get rid of the anxiety,

but to confront my anxietyand accept it.

That's why, I won't run awayfrom my anxiety anymore.

I made an oath to myself!

So right here, right now

I will prove this oath to you!

O-Okay

Let's do this!

So, you finally understand

Okay, let's test just how wellyou can battle

when you acknowledgeyour anxiety!

They're laughing at me!

Someone like me,

can't possibly masterthe Eight Inner Gates, huh ?

But!

The one thing I will do,is to prove that

I won't run away frommy anxiety again!

Metal! You're so ”!

I won't go easy on you!

Right here!

There are so many people watching!

What?!

Those movements! They're from ”!

They're laughing at me again?!

They were all laughing earlier,but now,

they're paying close attention!

His moves are so erratic, I can't read them clearly.

Hang in there!

He's pushing past it! Go!

L-Leaf!

Hurricane!

Amazing!

The match is over!

And the winner is

Metal Lee!

I w-won?!

Well done, Metal!

P-Papa?!

This being the result of youconfronting your anxiety

I'm impressed!

I-I'm going to start my trainingall over again

And one day for sure,

I will masterthe Eight Inner Gates!

You're on your way

That hit just now was all from youopening the First Gate

Huh?

Probably that extreme anxietyyou felt

produced an unbelievable amountof adrenaline

Leading you to openingthe First Gate.

And to toy with your opponentwith your unpredictable moves

which no one else can imitate,

I was right, after all.

Huh?

Yes!

That facing yourselfwill make you strong.

“ G-Guy Sensei! “ G-Guy Sensei!

You guys That's the spirit of youth!

This feels so nostalgic!

So this is the springtime of life!

Right, this is the springtime of life!

All right, now it's time forthree thousand pushups!

Oh!

“ Huh? “ Huh?

What did you dowith that necklace?

Oh, I don't need it anymore.

An anxious me is the genuine me.

W-Well A lot of things happened

I-It was amazing, huh?

Team , your mission is to deliver

this very valuable vase.

Please, do not break it.

Calm down!

“ I just can't! “ Hey, you'll drop it!

Hey, youngster!Show me around the Leaf Village.

What is up with this geezer?

Are you the hero ofthe Great Ninja w*r,

Ohnoki the Fence-Sitter?!

But the Five Kage Summitis happening right now

I don't care about that!

Take me toa dumpling shop quickly ”

Oh! My back!
