01x01 - Boruto Uzumaki!

[bunniefuu]

The age of the shinobi is over.

I didn't think you'd go this far, Kawaki!

I'll send you where I sent
the Seventh Hokage, Boruto.

Was this
the only possible outcome?

Yes, that's right.

The age of the shinobi…is over!

I'm…

Still a shinobi!

The story goes back in time
several years from this point.

BORUTO UZUMAKI!

What the—?

Hey!

Wait up, Boruto!

Is it that bad?!

Yeah, it's bad. Really bad!

What kept you so long, Lord Hokage?

HOKAGE'S OFFICE What kept you so long, Lord Hokage?

HOKAGE'S OFFICE There's hardly any time left.

It's tomorrow, huh…

Please hurry,

or you're not going to get things done
in time for the entrance ceremony.

Guess I'll be here all night again.

THUNDER


I made it just in time.

The limited edition
green chili hamburger!

Who would've thought today
was the last day.

Why do I have to be the one
to keep you company?

– You're not gonna eat it?
– 'Course I am!

– Spicy!
– Spicy!

What is this stuff?!

I don't believe this.
You're impossible.

But man, this train
is so convenient.

I don't have to walk now
that we've got this.

The Hidden Leaf Village is
getting more and more modern.

Hmm…

But we still have to attend

that old-fashioned Ninja Academy
starting tomorrow.

Oh, is it from tomorrow?!

There's a lot of stuff to get ready.
Don't you know that?

Oh…

Didn't your dad tell you?

Sort of…

Boruto, don't go doing stuff
to embarrass your dad, okay?

'Cuz it's probably gonna reflect
on me too.

What?

Your mom always tells me…

to watch out for you.

My mom does?

Well, you see…
It's like the train.

Huh?

As long as it stays on the tracks,
it'll get to its destination easily.

So just sit tight until you get there.

What're you talking about?

I'm saying just behave.

See ya.

Don't be late on the first day!

Shut up!

Dad can just mind his own business.

I'll show you one day!

Hey kid! Who're your parents?

Don't you know that's dangerous?!

Sorry, sorry!

Whoa…!

Denki, is this all you have?

Isn't that enough?

Well, yeah…but…

Right?

Yeah, I want to have some fun too.

Huh?

Yeah…

What the—?!

Sorry, my hand slipped.

This sucks!

Are you crazy?
You wanna get hurt?

Take that back now.

And I'll let this slide.

Huh?

Hey you, come down here.

– Shadow Clones?!
– Is this guy a ninja?!

Damn it, you making fun of us?!

I don't care about ninja…!

Here.

Y-You…

Don't be such a wuss.

Hey, aren't you done yet?

W-What are you doing?!

Uh-oh, let's get out of here!

W-Wait!

Hey, you okay?!

I'm not okay!

Now more of them are gonna
come after me tomorrow!

That was just spare change for me.

Listen…

Doesn't it piss you off?

Teach 'em a lesson!

I'm not strong like you.

Huh?!

You know ninjutsu, right?

Do you attend the Academy?

No…

Well, I will from tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Same as me then.

Oh, yeah?

Nice to meet you.

It was my father's wish.

He said that if I'm going
inherit his company,

I need to learn ninjutsu
as well as academics.

Is that so?
What's the name of the company?

The Kaminarimon Company.

A BRIGHTER FUTURE THROUGH
THE THUNDER RAIL
TOGETHER WITH THE LEAF VILLAGE
THE KAMINARIMON COMPANY That's the biggest enterprise in the land!

Can I put in a pre-order
on the next release?

S-Sure…

Still, what's the big deal
about learning ninjutsu?

My father is a former shinobi

who credits his achievements
in the Fourth Great Ninja w*r

for his company's success.

So, he has great faith in ninja.

Do you want to become a ninja?

Not really…

Then don't pay any attention to him.

I've never disobeyed my dad.

Well, that's fine.
At least he comes home.

My stupid old man thinks only
about work and ignores his family.

Is that so?

So even if I disobey my dad,
I don't get punished!

Who cares about your dad?

Just teach him a lesson!

Teach him a lesson?

That's what I do.

I'm in the middle of
my super plan.

But keeping it a secret
from my mom is tough.

What time is it?

About seven…

No way! I'm gonna get it
from my mom!

Huh?

I thought there's no punishment
from disobeying.

Mom's different.

She's really scary
when she gets mad!

See ya!

Don't let 'em pick on you!

Just teach 'em a lesson.

O-Okay.

Just teach 'em a lesson.

I'm home!

Boruto, you promised to be home
for the celebration.

Sorry, Mom.

Shikadai wouldn't let me go.

Well, Shikadai has a good head
on his shoulders.

You, on the other hand,
tend to get into trouble.

– Trouble!
– Whoa!

What's for dinner?

You know what?
I helped make it today!

Oh, I can't wait!

Boruto, make sure you
wash your hands!

Okay!

– Oh!
– Wow!

You start at the Academy
from tomorrow.

I got to know your father
at the Academy.

I've heard that
so many times, ya know.

He was always causing trouble,

so people treated him
like a problem child.

But he was actually very cool.

I've heard that
so many times too.

I thought your father would
be home tonight…

That's nothing new.

He just keeps ignoring
you and Himawari.

Don't complain.

This village is safe because
your father and the others protect it.

Let's eat.

But there's no enemy
to protect us from.

Boruto…

Fighting isn't the only duty
of a ninja.

There are many things
the Hokage must do

to ensure that the people
can live safely in peace.

You're going to learn that
starting tomorrow at the Academy too.

It's something very important.

So uncool.

Denki, you are the heir to
the Kaminarimon Company!

A general curriculum is…

Dad…

I…

How pitiful…

Seems you fought with
some hoodlums again today.

What are you going to do?

You definitely need the training
at the Academy.

I…

Who cares about your dad?

Just teach him a lesson!

So, I just have to be strong?

If I can prove that I'm strong…

That's right.

If I prove that,

I can study whatever I want?

Yes, if you're strong.

Strength…

I don't have that kind of strength.

I just have to prove it, right?

My strength.

ENTRANCE CEREMONY


Oh no, oh no, oh no!

This is bad!

You're late!

I know that!

Will you make it in time?

No worries!

Yeah right!

Sleeping until the last minute,
then riding the train to school!

My leisurely life at
the Academy's about to begin.

Yup…here comes the train.

That's the guy from yesterday.

What is that?

He's gone!

Aha… He's riding the train too.

I think we're gonna get along.

What did you wanna talk about, Denki?

You plan to get back at us?!

You called us out.
So, what's up?

Oh, lucky!

Hey…

There's some over here too.

This looks sketchy.

So what?
Let's just take what we can.

Won't hurt.

Yeah.

What?!

You guys are so simple.

Denki…

Why that—!

What're you thinking?!
Stop this!

What's going on?!

Don't you know?
This is one of our company's prototypes.

Several problems were found with it, so…

This one's defective.
Just like you guys.

What're you saying?

We were just having
a little fun with you.

A little…?

Do you see that?

I put another defective car
on the same rail.

There's no one on it.

You get it now?
Just a little collision of defective goods.

A little one…

Y-You're kidding, right?

Stop this.

Why are you here?

I just happened to see you.

Aren't you going to
the entrance ceremony?

Who cares about that?

I'm going to prove to
my father that I'm strong.

Haven't you gone far enough?!

No…

I have to…

I have to prove that I'm strong.

It's happening again.

Stop it already!

Then make me.

Oh, the first rail switch back is coming.

Are you guys going to be okay?

Wha—?!

Damn!

Too bad.

What happened to you?!

My father's word is absolute.

Huh?

I need his approval.

Or else I…

You don't need his approval!

You can't do anything without worrying
about how people would take it?

Make your own decisions!

What's wrong?!

Hey!

What're you doing?
Look out front!

It's coming!

The train's here!

Why did I…do this?

Leave it to me!

THUNDER


Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Let's do it!

– Right!
– Right!

Denki!

Boruto!

Nice one, Denki!

I can't hold on!

Huh?!

Just a little longer!

You can do it! Denki!

We're okay!

Give me a break!

That was fun.

– No, it wasn't!
– No, it wasn't!

Don't get mad.
I was just kidding.

What do we do?!
It won't hold.

Let's jump onto the other one.

Let's go!

You're right.

Let's run!

– Go!
– Go!

Come on!

Sorry, we've got somewhere to go.

That's right.

Staying on the tracks isn't for us!

Chocho Akimichi.

Here.

Wasabi Izuno.

SEVENTH HOKAGE Wasabi Izuno.

SEVENTH HOKAGE Here!

Boruto Uzumaki.

Boruto Uzumaki!

He's not here?

Uzumaki?

That Uzumaki?

That Boruto…

Even I made it on time.

That's so like him.

Are you listening, Sarada?

You stay put.

You have to make a nice,
warm speech soon.

We made it.

Boruto Uzumaki…

is here, ya know!

B-Boruto…

Amazing…

Amazing…

That guy…

Talk about doing
something embarrassing.

Don't just stand there.
Clear the students out!

Time out! Time out!

Sorry, Big Bro Konohamaru.

You don't even look sorry…

And from today, call me Sensei!

Huh?

That's sorta creepy.

What do you mean by creepy?

Hey! Denki, are you okay?

We made it in time for
the entrance ceremony!

Wha—?!

You got another kid involved?

So what? We're fine.

What's "fine" about all of this?

Yeah, yeah.

You are so…!

– Boruto Uzumaki, you're…
– Stop talking Big Bro Konohamaru!

I'm not gonna call you Sensei.

What is with your attitude?!

Boruto, just try listening sometime!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Taking a prototype for
the thunder rail and running amok,

causing damage to
the Hokage's Great Stone Face.

No one was hurt so everything
is okay but…

Sorry…

Well, this is from the president
of Kaminarimon Company.

They will pay for all the repairs
for the damages in town.

It seems Boruto stuck up
for his classmate.

Despite all that's happened,
he's quite grateful.

He says his son has changed.

I see…

I wonder what's gonna happen
to my easy life at the Academy?

Hey, long time no see!

'Morning, Boruto.

My suspension's finally over.

I should've been the one
who was punished.

Why did you cover up for me?

Huh? Oh yeah?

It's no big deal.

O-Okay.

But I made in time for
the entrance ceremony.

Thanks!

No, I should be thanking you.

What?

Nah, it's nothing.

I wonder what that was.

Oh, good morning.

Morning…

Huh? I wonder who that was…

Who knows?

Mr. Kaminarimon should be more careful.
Stupidity is contagious.

So you…

I got into the ninjutsu program.

For your dad?

No, I just think ninjutsu is awesome.

I'm gonna study new ninjutsu

and try to incorporate it
with machinery and science.

Really?

That's great, if that's what you want.

Denki…

Can I see your homework?

Sure.

It's okay with me,
but what do you do at home?

Did you just ask me that?

Is that something
you would ask a lady?

Whatever path I choose,

it's got nothing to do with Dad.

I'll walk my own path.

'Cuz this is my story!

I'm going to be
the star from today on!

Riding on the Hokage's coat tails, huh?

Oops, did I just say that out loud?

I know you've been like this
for a long time,

but why are you so sarcastic?

Oh, sorry.

If it touched a nerve,
I take it back…but…

Next time on
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:

"The Hokage's Son!"

THE HOKAGE'S SON! I don't even consider you
worth my trust.

THE HOKAGE'S SON!
