01x49 - Wasabi and Namida

[bunniefuu]

FIRE PARK

OFFICE

Wasabi and Namida

Wasabi and Namida You don't have to
talk to me that way,

just because we were
a little late.

Well, it's all because
you lost the map… Seriously!

We should've let
Sarada lead the way.

I said I was sorry!

Stop ganging up on me,
you guys!

Hey, Class Rep!

I'm not
the class representative anymore.

Oh, yeah.

Anyway, are you heading over
to Ms. Suika's?

Yeah.

We just finished our mission.

Although, thanks to someone,
it took a lot longer than it had to.

I already said sorry.

You call that an apology?

You two get along so well!

– How?
– How?

There, you see?

Our mission is to capture animals?

Yes.

To capture the animals that
escaped from Fire Park.

That's the request we received.

Locate the animals
and capture them…

That's a perfect mission
for our team.

You think so?

I love animals!

It sounds like fun.

Right, Wasabi?

Yeah, it does!

Wow! It's been so long

since I got a happy reaction
after announcing a mission.

Usually it's…

What?! Don't you have somethingmore exciting?!

Aw man, what a drag…

But…you all just made my job
so worthwhile!

So anyway, here are
the details of the mission.

Someone stole the keys,

and opened the cages
in the animal enclosure…

is what it says.

What's the reason?

That's still a mystery.

I see…

All the animals that escaped were
born and raised in the park.

It will be difficult for them
to adjust to the wild.

Then we have to find them
as soon as possible!

Yes, please do!

This is the list of
the escaped animals?

At first glance,

I don't see any dangerous animals
on the list.

So you can deal with this
on your own.

– Huh?!
– Huh?!

"Deal with this on your own"?

What about you, Hanabi Sensei?

I want you three to
complete this mission.

I think you're ready
to do it alone.

– Huh?!
– Huh?!

It will be all right.
You guys can do this!

– Right!
– Right!

Listen…

Of course, skill and technique
are important in a mission,

but the most important thing is
the trust you have in each other.

– Understood!
– Understood!

Sai!

How are things with Team ?

Or rather, Sumire Kakei?

Yes.

She's gotten used to missions,
and she's doing her best.

Wasabi Izuno.

Yes!

Sumire Kakei.

Yes!

Namida Suzumeno.

Yes!

You three are Team !

Uh…

If you're gonna cryover something like this,

I dread what lies ahead.

I'm Hanabi Hyuga,captain of Team .

Looking forwardto working with you!

– Yes!
– Yes!

Back then,
you had faith in Sumire

and brought her back
to the Academy.

I think that was
really good for her.

Yeah, but the Gozu Tennou
hasn't been completely extinguished.

Caution must still be exercised.

Yes.

By the way,
what about the other two?

Do they know that it was Nue
from the other incident?

No, I don't think
she's told them yet.

Do you think…

I should talk to
the two of them?

They'll soon realize
the meaning

of working together as
a team on missions.

Maybe for a little while longer,

you should just stand by
and watch over them.

All right…

I think you'll do fine.

Huh?

Please continue to look
after Team .

Trust in each other, huh?

There's something
I haven't told them.

I guess…I should be completely honest
with them…but…

No! I have to focus on
the mission right now.

And do whatever I can…

to help.

Yup!

So far, there've been
no animal sightings.

So, they must be hiding
around here.

Yeah!

I've been to Fire Park a lot.

There were so many
cute animals!

No wonder you know so much
about the place.

But who would release
all the animals?

That's such a nasty prank.

Like Hanabi Sensei said…

We have to find the animals quickly,
the poor things!

Umm…

Huh? What is this?

Well…

This is supposed to erase
the smell of humans, so…

If we wear this…

It will be harder for animals
to sense us?

Then, wouldn't transformation
be faster?

Oh! Y-You're right, but…

It's cute though.

I guess it wasn't such…
a good idea…

I…

Don't tell me you…
made these yourself?

U-Uh-huh.

There wasn't much time,

so they didn't turn out
too well, though.

Hmm…

I think it'll work…

Yeah, yeah!

Really?

Okay! Let's go catch
those animals ASAP!

Six Taiko Tanuki.

One, two, three, four, five, six…

Yup, they're all here.

We caught a lot!

We're getting this done
pretty fast.

I think it's thanks to this.

I'm glad it came in handy.

Shh!

Um…

Found it. It's this one.

The Pseudo Hare.

Oh, there it is!

The female usually…

Damn it!

I'll get the male…

You go catch the female.

Hey, wait!

That's not the way—!

All right!

Wasabi!

Are you okay?!

Oww…

Female Pseudo Hares instinctively
protect the males.

That's why you have to
catch the female first.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I meant to…

But something caught me
off guard and—

Besides, you didn't listen
at all, Wasabi!

And you just jumped out…

Uh…uh…

H-Hey, why don't we take
a break?

I made us lunch.

I-I made…a lot so…

So please have some…

Thank you! I'd love some!

How about it, Wasabi?

Um…

Hey! All we have left to catch
is the Miniature Monkey.

Oh…

That one seems pretty intelligent,
so it could be difficult.

We'll have to be coordinated and–

Huh?

My omelet is gone!

I was so looking forward to eating it…

Namida, I bet you ate it!

I-I did not!

Then why's it gone?!

How would I know?!

H-Hey, hold on you two…

Huh?

Oh!

The Miniature Monkey!

Let's go after it!

– Yeah!
– Yeah!

I wonder where it went?

That thing is fast.

Leave this to me.

SIAMESE Ninja Art…

Cat Cloak!

PERSIAN SIAMESE TORTOISESHELL

The scent of the Miniature Monkey…

This way!

Wait!

Where is it?

Found it!

I can't…

I'm…at my…limit.

Are you okay?!

Did you find it?

Oww…

I almost had it…

I need a cat who's a little faster…

TORTOISESHELL

TORTOISESHELL All right!

Listen, shouldn't we figure out
a strategy together?

It's fine.
Just stay quiet, Namida!

But…

Jeez! Just shut up!

It's so annoying when
you start crying like that!

Wait! Don't fight.

We're not fighting…

It's just Namida, having one
of her crying fits again.

Wasabi, you've been
so mean since earlier.

I don't care anymore!

Namida!

Who knew there was another list!

I hope they're doing okay…

It's the Miniature Monkey…

I have to let Sumireand Wasabi know…

It's annoying whenyou start crying like that!

Never mind… Forget Wasabi!

Yes! I got you!

A Giant-Maned Wolf?

Hey, um, Wasabi?

What is it?

You're thinking we shouldn't fight
over trivial things, right?

Hmm… Well, yeah…

Well, Namida always chokes up
at the most important times.

Wasabi, the three of us have to…

Namida!

Let's go!

Wasabi?

I'm going on ahead, okay?

Humph!

Sumire!

Are you okay?

Yeah, but I think this is bad!

I have to do something!

Summoning!

Nue! Absorb the chakra!

Nue!

Nue! Nue!

Nue! Nue!

Nue!

Nue!

I'll help too.

It didn't hit!

Quit hesitating!

Wasabi?!

I'll lure it in and mark it…

So, bring it down with your jutsu!

O-Okay.

I won't be able to hold him
for long, so do it quickly!

Got it!

Nue!

Hang in there a little bit longer!

Nue!

Huh?

Isn't Nue—?

TORTOISESHELL Ninja Art! Cat Cloak!

Here I go!

Meow…

Meow…

Meow!

Now!

Cry as hard as you can, Namida!

Okay!

Here I go!

Calling Upon Tears Jutsu!

– We did it!
– We did it!

Namida… I'm sorry about earlier.

I…

No… I'm sorry.

Me too…

– Huh?
– Huh?

I'm sorry too.

– Huh?
– Huh?

You saw earlier, didn't you?

You saw Nue.

I'm the one…
who summoned Nue just now.

Nue…

I made Nue att*ck
the village back then.

We knew.

Huh?

We figured you'd tell us in time…

We were just waiting
for you to tell us.

You guys…!

Oh, come on!
Why are you crying too, Namida?

Because, Wasabi—!

Good job!

Looks like the mission
is accomplished.

– Hanabi Sensei!
– Hanabi Sensei!

When did you get here?

Just a little while ago.

The Giant-Maned Wolf
was left off the list,

so I got worried and
observed you.

But I guess I worried
about nothing!

– Huh?
– Huh?

What? You're mean, Sensei!

It was really scary, you know!

It was super dangerous!

Of course, if you needed me,
I would have jumped in to help.

But there was no need for that, right?

Your teamwork was awesome!

You're really getting into sync!

– Yes!
– Yes!

Now then…

Team , your animal-capturing
mission is now complete.

Now then, I know it's sad,

but you're gonna have
to return to the park now.

So cute!

Sumire is going to be just fine…

Sai.

DUMPLINGS

Feels like I've come back to life!

But we can't relax just yet.

The Chunin Exams are right
around the corner.

Yikes!

What do I do?

Oh well, it will all work out.

You think so?

I hear becoming a chunin
is really tough…

I heard you guys brought down
a Giant-Maned Wolf.

U-Uh, yeah!

I assume it was tough…

It was a piece of cake!

Oh?

I'm thinking Big Sis Hanabi
probably handled it, right?

Nope! Our team has
Sumire's Summoning

and Wasabi's Cat Cloak Jutsu!

Plus, Namida has her wailing!

A Giant-Maned Wolf's got
nothing on us!

O-Oh…

Nothing's more fearsome than
a woman's tears…I guess.

W-Well, hang in there!

You guys too!

Huh?

My dumplings are gone!

Mine too!

Mine are gone too!

What's going on?

– Not again!
– Not again!

The Chunin Exams…

where a genin's future
hangs on the line.

We need to make sure
they meet the qualifications,

so they can be a good fit.

Well, this year's rookies are
the most problematic ones

we've had in recent years.

When there's an incident,

Boruto Uzumaki is always
at the center of it all!

That's—!
