05x222 - The Night Before the Final Round

Post by bunniefuu »

The final round will be a one-on-one battle.

In other words, you'll have to fight each other.

A one-on-one battle?

Only the winners will get to become a chunin.

This means only half of you will become chunin.

No way!

Just when we thought we'd become chunin,

they're gonna make us fight each other.

There's no way we'd let you become a chunin that easily, right?

Damn it! What a cruel way of doing things.

I have one question.

Are you going to tell us today who we'll be going up against?

Are you planning to analyze your opponent?

The final round...

...has already begun.

In this round, you will be judged on your ability to

adapt the situation and formulate an appropriate response.

Your opponent will be announced on the day of your match.

You're free to spend tomorrow resting or training.

Prepare in any way you like.

The Night Before the Final Round

I have failed!

Are you all right?

Man, I thought I was gonna be a chunin today.

Well, I had a feeling that it wouldn't be over yet.

Anyways, I can't afford to do anything uncool from this point on.

Also, this is starting to feel kind of fun.

What do you mean by that?

I've been through all sorts of experiences.

I want to show my dad and everyone else

how much I've matured since the last Chunin Exam.

And that I've become more than strong enough.

Such confident words!

Then how do you feel?!

It's true, the Chunin Exam is important.

But this is just one of many milestones ahead of us.

My goal is to become Hokage, after all.

What about you, Mitsuki?

And don't just say, "I don't care either way."

I won't say that.

Because either way isn't fine.

Both of you are aiming to become chunin,

my goal is also to pass the chunin exam.

If Team has to fight each other, don't hold back.

That goes without saying!

No hard feelings if you lose to me.

Though, it would be great if we all become chunin.

Yeah, let's give it everything we've got.

Where are you going so early in the morning?

I'm training with Mitsuki in preparation for tomorrow.

The Chunin Exam, was it?

Is Sarada going to train too?

Sarada said she was going to get advice from Mr. Sasuke.

That's not fair, is it?

Mr. Sasuke is my master!

You seem really worked up.

Of course I am.

Everyone's been training just for tomorrow.

Want to come along, Kawaki?

No thanks.

I don't quite understand what's going on,

but just don't embarrass yourself.

Shut up!

Of course I won't, ya know!

So, it's just the two of us today, as expected.

There's no way I could invite Metal.

He was so depressed yesterday.

Yeah, he was.

Anyway, there's only one thing we can do right now.

Pass the exam, right?

We can't afford to lose, for Metal's sake.

You two are late!

Metal?! What are you—!

Please allow me to assist.

I need at least one of you to pass the exam tomorrow!

Thinking about that is making me feel kind of nervous!

Please make sure you pass tomorrow!

Thank you, Metal.

Anyway, we don't have much time, right?

Let's go!

Okay!

TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY

Hello!

Ah!

Why if it isn't Denki...

...and the rest of Team !

Sorry for always using your resources.

What are you talking about?

I welcome any requests from the young researchers of the Leaf!

My researcher's spirit is all fired up!

I'm preparing a testing room as fast as I can.

Come, I'll help you prepare the item!

It's fine, I'll do it.

According to the rules,

I'm limited to Scientific Ninja Tools of my own creation.

I see...

But please be sure to allow me to watch your test.

Please!

I never thought you would be using "that" in the Chunin Exam.

I absolutely can't let this opportunity pass me by.

Denki...

Since Scientific Ninja Tools are allowed now,

even though I'm less skilled in combat skills than everyone else,

this greatly increases my chances of becoming a chunin.

It seems that all that research you did was worthwhile!

This is a one-in-a-million opportunity.

I have to do whatever I can to win!

It's rare seeing you this worked up.

One can never be too enthusiastic.

That is because only the best genin in the Leaf remain in this round!

That sounds pretty convincing coming from someone who failed.

Please do not mention that!

– Oh man! – Sorry, sorry.

The only question is who I'm going to fight...

Well, there are some guys you just don't want to fight,

like Team .

Inojin and Chocho of Team

aren't too far behind Team in terms of accomplishments.

Yeah, they're all strong opponents.

What about Wasabi's team?

We've got a better record than they do...

Can you honestly say that

after seeing Miss Tsubaki's Snowstorm Slash?

Isn't there anyone else?

Well, there's Houki from Team .

Aside from the fact that he takes on

ANBU Black Ops missions under Mr. Sai,

I don't know anything about him.

He is quite unsettling.

All right, fine!

At any rate, there's no point in fretting about this!

We just have to throw ourselves headfirst into this!

Well, we should adjust our fighting style

based on our opponent...

The testing room is ready.

Metal, would you like to act as my practice opponent

for the final round?

Of course!

There are no easy opponents in tomorrow's match.

Even though this is a test run,

I want you to come at me with everything you've got.

Everything I've got?

Please do not blame me if something happens!

This is—!

The one most likely to pass might be Denki.

BARBE-Q

This isn't like you... inviting us out to eat, Shikadai.

So good!

Well, I figured I should do this once in a while.

Ever since my dad was a kid,

this has been the place to discuss important things.

Honestly, you're thinking too much about it.

So good!

Hey, stop eating and say something.

Well, we're going to split the bill,

so I need to get my money's worth.

Your money's worth?

It's mostly just been you eating.

That's the issue, right there.

Huh?

You haven't eaten anything at all.

You're acting calm,

but it's clear that you're super nervous about tomorrow's exam.

That's not true!

You're no match for Chocho.

Here, this is ready.

You should eat too, Inojin.

That's right!

Thanks.

Hey, Old Man!

more orders of salted beef tongue with green onions!

Sure thing!

You idiot! Are you planning on spending

your entire month's paycheck on meat?!

Like I said, we're splitting the bill...

Splitting the bill is a battle.

In battle, one must use any means necessary.

Shikadai...

...look after my body.

This is the only way to stop Chocho...

when she's serious!

The only way?

Are you going to—?!

Ninja Art!

Mind Transfer Jutsu!

You won't be able to eat now.

Honestly, what a ridiculous thing to do.

As a result of my training,

the success rate of my Mind Transfer has gone up.

Now Chocho won't be able to—

What?!

What's the matter?

Her body...

is reflexively—!

This is...

no different from before!

Ah, that was really satisfying.

I probably don't need to eat barbeque for a while.

How weird.

I haven't eaten anything at all, but I feel totally full.

DESSERT JUICE COLA OOLONG KIMCHI RICE VEG SOUP GUKBAP BIBIMBAP LOIN HEART SKIRT OFFAL

Our parents have brought us here, ever since we were little, huh?

Of course. We've been together since we were born.

That's right.

Because of that, we even had matching pajamas.

I didn't like that, though.

Come to think of it, you're right.

Should we get the bill?

Thanks to someone, I'm sure it's gonna be ridiculous.

I got it today.

What?! Are you sure?

As a chunin, this is the last time I'll be able to treat you as genin.

From tomorrow, we split the bill.

Shikadai was totally acting cool.

Did you notice it?

The vest?

That was the vest Shikadai got when he became a chunin.

Of course I did.

Even though he became a chunin,

he never wore it.

I heard from Mrs. Temari that he just left it hanging in his room.

He won't come out and just say it,

but he just wants the three of us to wear matching vests together.

Damn it, Shikadai's so cool, isn't he?

We can't afford to lose tomorrow.

Yeah!

This is where you were.

At first, I was thinking of giving you some advice, but...

Anyways, Hako and Renga, it's a shame you didn't make it.

There's no need to worry.

Houki will become a chunin for us.

You're quite confident, aren't you?

You've taught us

the fighting style of the Anbu Black Ops.

If you're no match in power, there's no need to att*ck head-on.

It doesn't matter if you lose a challenge

as long as you win the match.

I've hidden all unnecessary pride and emotion beneath my mask.

These are all things you've taught us, Mr. Sai.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow!

Do your best!

Let's stop here for today.

I can still keep going!

If we keep going, you'll be exhausted tomorrow.

That's... not true...

Wasabi!

You've done everything you could.

All that's left is the battle with yourself.

You say that, but it's a one-on-one battle.

I honestly don't want to go up against Boruto or Sarada.

Being discouraged is not allowed, Wasabi!

Tomorrow, I'll be cheering you on louder than anyone else there!

That makes it sound like you're the one fighting.

Let's lighten the mood by going to Thunder Burg—!

Tsubaki?

It's from the Land of Iron.

You said that's a letter from the Land of Iron...

So, what's going on?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

What's the matter?

Is it bad news?

No...

In fact, it is good news.

I'm so relieved!

So? What's happening?

The truth is, it concerns me.

I will be returning home!

And as a candidate for a leadership position

in the Land of Iron!

By leaving the team,

I'll be causing the both of you a great deal of trouble...

But, my long-standing wish has come true!

Congratulations! That's amazing!

You came here to help revive the Land of Iron, after all.

I feel kind of proud we got to be a part of that!

It was well worth the effort to come here to study.

This is all thanks to the both of you!

I lost my composure there.

The Land of Iron is a place rich in tradition,

but it is also constrained because of them.

I shall use what I have learned in the Leaf

to transform it into a nation that is more wonderful than any other.

I was able to take that first step!

When will you be... going back home?

Once the Chunin Exam is over.

I want to succeed in the exam before I depart.

I want to give hope to everyone in the Land of Iron.

I'm sure everyone will be happy!

I cannot afford to lose tomorrow.

What's wrong with you guys?

Why are you spacing out like that?

Don't tell me you're scared about tomorrow's match.

What are you talking about?

We're just relaxing, considering how easy this is gonna be!

I feel bad, so I'll lend it to you some time.

Huh? What are you gonna lend me?

My chunin vest.

You probably won't ever get a chance to wear one anyway.

What did you just say?!

Try saying that once more!

Please stop!

I'll say it as many times as you like!

Stop it, you two. We're inside a restaurant.

What did you do today?

We were testing a Scientific Ninja Tool.

We've been inside the lab all day.

I see...

I wanted to get some advice from you, Dad.

I see.

You're far more skilled as a shinobi than I was at your age.

That's not true.

I told Boruto this as well...

if there's one thing I can say...

It's that a shinobi must always be prepared.

Prepared?

I was always prepared when I went into battle.

During that recent battle...

I lost the Rinnegan, a big source of power for me.

But I have no regrets.

Is it because you were always prepared?

I'm prepared as well.

How unusual.

Oh, it's you, Sarada.

I never expected to see you training by yourself.

Well, um, this is...

There's no need to be embarrassed.

That's true.

I work hard despite the talent I was born with.

I'm the perfect lady!

That's right! That sounds like you!

I can't let Shikadai continue being the only chunin, right?

I'm kind of jealous.

Ino-Shika-Cho just feels special, you know?

It makes me a little frustrated.

True. Ino-Shika-Cho is special.

We're like family, or something along those lines.

But they're also my biggest rivals.

I may rely on them, but I'll never take advantage of them.

If I keep going at this rate,

I'll just end up taking advantage of Shikadai.

Chocho...

Look at me. What am I babbling on so passionately about?!

I think it's great...

That part of you.

Well, you're the only one I can talk to

about these kinds of things, right?

Let's make sure we become chunin together tomorrow!

No one can stand in our way!

Nope!

CELEBRATION CHUNIN EXAM

All right, let's begin...

All right, I'll announce the first match.

The first match: Inojin Yamanaka vs. Houki Taketori!

To think I'd be going up against Inojin.

Just because you're Sai's son, doesn't mean I'll be holding back.

I'll win.

Houki Taketori, huh?

He's in the ANBU right?

But you know, I'll win this.

Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:

"Inojin vs. Houki"

INOJIN VS. HOUKI
