02x60 - The Hidden Leaf vs. The Hidden Sand

[bunniefuu]

All right!

Sarada!

I'm passing onthe role of heroine

to you today!

Thank you!

Sorry for getting intothe finals before you.

It's fine, I'll be right therewith you soon.

Don't get carelessand let him slip you up.

Be extra careful aroundthat Araya guy!

He doesn't even blink ifan expl*si*n goes off near him.

His composure shows he's gonethrough considerable training.

That guy's not normal.

Who do you thinkyou're talking to here?

I'm going to become the Hokage!

I won't let it end here.

The Hidden Leaf vs. The Hidden Sand

Hey

Good job, you guys,you were all so close too!

Well, no use getting depressedabout it.

You guys experiencedthe same thing, right?

Let's just cheer for them andgive them our full support.

“ Yeah! “ Right.

It's starting!

The match twoof the semi-finals

Sarada Uchiha of the Hidden Leafversus Araya of the Hidden Sand.

Begin!

Go!

You're keeping calmand just observing?

In that case,I'll do that too!

I can't keep up with my Sharingan!

Sarada is amazing!

She's using her Sharingan toanticipate her opponent's moves!

But that Araya guy iscountering everything!

As expected, the Uchiha's Sharinganis quite something.

You can talk?

You've been so quiet,I thought maybe you couldn't!

Nonsense!

Watch out!

It's not over yet.

Sarada!

Did Sarada try to use genjutsuto stop her foe's moves?

Yeah

But it seems likeit didn't work out.

That's impossible!

Surprise att*cks don't even faze him

Genjutsu don't even work

What's going on?!

Is he really human?!

Why won't genjutsu work on him?

My timing was perfect. But still

As one would expect for a Sand Shinobi.

Is he just stronger than me?!

No, it can't be!

At the very least, someone who isn't affected when faced

with a Sharingan-based genjutsu for the first time would

Doesn't the Hidden Sand Village ”?

If this continues,it's gonna be bad

Sarada!

Move away from him!

Seems you can still move,even with that wound.

But it's useless.

I've done my research onthe shinobi of the Hidden Leaf.

I know you're really smart too.

It'll be a drag ifthis gets drawn out,

so why don't we wrapthis up quickly?

Did you use upall your strength?

Well then

Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!

Leaf Hurricane!

Where was she aiming at?

No

Look.

What the hell?

Thank you, Metal!

That was nothi ”!

Everyone!

“ Uh it's not ah! “ What's going on?

SARADA UCHIHAvs.ARAYA

SARADA UCHIHAvs.ARAYAAll right.

SARADA UCHIHAvs.ARAYAYou can't run away anymore.

There's someone allthe way up there!

Wha ”?!

Huh?

What? A twin?

No way!

You're the real one, aren't you?

You Puppet User!

What?!

Did she say puppet?

W-When did you f-figure it out?

I sensed something wasn't rightfrom the very beginning.

No matter how disciplined,

when something suddenlyhappens before your eyes,

humans react unconsciously.

But you definitely didn't

Also, your almost inhuman,machine-like movements that

my Sharingan couldn't keep up with,that were unaffected by genjutsu

That's when I remembered.

That the Sand Village possessesan outstanding puppet technique.

I-is t-that all?

Oh, and one more thing.

When I was at a disadvantage,you rushed to finish the fight.

Don't you get it?

If you did research on me,

you should know aboutthe Sharingan's weakness

The Sharingan consumesan enormous amount of chakra.

So Sarada's weakness is

“ Stamina, huh? “ It's stamina.

If you intended to b*at me,the wisest move would've been

to prolong the battle andforce me to run out of chakra.

Instead, you tried to end it all at once.

And that's what convinced me that

you were afraid of a long,drawn-out battle, weren't you?

Because if I were toobserve you carefully,

you wouldn't be able tokeep your secret hidden.

Those Chakra Threads you useto control your puppet!

Hey! If a challenger leavesthe battle arena,

isn't that a disqualification?

Sure, if you leave inthe middle of a match,

you're disqualified.

If you weren't there fromthe very start,

there's no causefor disqualification.

Right, Lord Kazekage?

Do you have a complaint?

We need to amend the rules,you know.

He hasn't moved for a while.

What's he after this time?

No

He's trembling.

W-What am I s-supposed to d-do?

I-I don't like being the c-center of attention

Is he nervous becausewe're all looking at him?

He's just like Metal.

A-Am I like that?

No wonder he usesa puppet to fight!

There's his bad habit

Araya

Shinki ?

I-It's too late!

You can't turn the tide in the condition you're in!

I wonder about that.

Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!

The match ends here!

The winner is Sarada Uchiha!

You didn't do enough research!

We're progressing every day!

Don't you dare underestimateLeaf Shinobi!

You did it, Sarada!

Yeah well

Those were amazing jutsu!

I haven't mastered it yet,

so I can only use it againstsomeone coming directly at me.

But never mind me.Mitsuki, you're up next.

You know, right?

The finals will bebetween Team , okay!

Mitsuki, in the next one,show 'em how serious you are!

We will now move on to match three of the semi-finals.

MITSUKIvs.SHINKI Mitsuki of the Leaf versus Shinki of the Sand!

MITSUKIvs.SHINKI Begin!

MITSUKIvs.SHINKI

Amazing

Wind Style: Breakthrough.

I've got you.

Interesting magic trick.

What will you pull out next?

A pigeon?

I can only produce snakes.

You use unusual jutsu as well.

How do you manipulateIron Sand like that anyway?

It's probably the same type oftechnique that Uncle Gaara uses.

That's right

He's the adopted son ofthe Kazekage, isn't he?

Well, he may have the Kazekage,but we have guts!

Mitsuki!

My father personallytaught me this jutsu.

Although you couldn'tpossibly understand.

Hmm

I see Well, I don't reallycare either way.

Wind Style: Wind Scythe.

It's pointless.

Dodge it, Mitsuki!

Snakes again Was it a clone?

Striking Shadow Snake as*ault.

That's what I callan impenetrable iron wall

But how about this?

Striking Shadow Snake Burial.

Hey, c'mon

I know a battle's a battle, but

he might die.

Yeah, you're right.

I felt no resistance in my hands.

An Iron Sand Clone?!

Damn it

I thought he had him!

To think that surprise attackhad no effect on him!

I've taught Shinki everythingI know.

His true skills aremuch greater than this.

You didn't even takea step until now,

and you resorted to a clone?

So, did I surprise you a little?

Yeah.

But Father taught me tonever let my guard down,

especially in a situationlike this.

He said his former rivalslong ago were like that.

That's what he taught me.

What about you, Mitsuki?

Show me more of your strength!

Mitsuki, go for it!

Cheap tricks won't affect him anymore.

What would Boruto do in a situation like this?

Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!

Damn it, he got him!

He deliberately let Mitsukidestroy his Iron Sand wall

and made him think he hadan opening to att*ck.

Yeah, in that situation,anyone would have done that.

He's using a considerable amount of jutsu.

He only has a slight amount of chakra left!

What are you going to do, Mitsuki?!

Is this it?

I know you have somethingmore up your sleeve

I understand whereyour complacency comes from.

I'm going to make you show me.

With that att*ck earlier,

I placed an Iron Sand Markingon you.

I take it that you know aboutthe properties of the Iron Sand.

Magnetic force.

That's right.

My inescapable spear willpierce right through you.

It's true, I have no choices left in this situation.

For me to defeat him,

I'll have to undergo Sage Transformation

Now, show me!

That power!

I give up.

Did I hear you correctly?

You heard me correctly.

I just said, "I give up."

Mitsuki, what did you just say?

I submit.

But !

It's fine this way.

I understand.

MITSUKIvs. SHINKI The winner,Shinki of the Sand!

What?

What happened to Mitsuki?

Did he get injured somewhere?

Don't ask me! I don't know!

Wait!

Damn you, why?

If we had continued any further,it might inconvenience my parent.

It's because I wantto stay here longer

Compared to that desire,

I don't really care aboutthe outcome of this match.

It seems I wastotally wrong about you

Well

I still don't know if I would've won

even if I actually got serious.

What are you doing, Mitsuki?!

Did you get hurt somewhere?

W-What is it?

Sorry!

“ Huh? “ Huh?

No, that's not right.

It's more like I look forward to workingwith you from now on?

Yup. I have a feelingit's gonna be like that.

What happened to him?

The finals will be held tomorrow.

They are Shinki of the Sand,

Sarada Uchiha of the Leaf,

and also from the Leaf,Boruto Uzumaki.

Finalists! Please bringyour absolute best to the matches!

“ Sir! “ Sir!

BARBE-Q

What is this?

I brought you here

because you saidyou were craving barbecue

Sure, it's too bad that you lost, but

you guys put your all into itand I'm sure everyone saw that.

The meat is so thin.

Huh?

Well, it can't be helped.

Payday hasn't rolled around yet!

Moegi Sensei

Are we lacking something?

Well

You know, you don't have toknow the answer to that yet.

Just now, were you thinkingof how to b*at Boruto in a rematch?

Okay then.

Your training for the next Chunin Examshas already begun.

And from tomorrow,we'll begin special training again!

Right!

Thanks for waiting!

Yay!

Our special combo platter

“ servings! “ The meat's here!

Huh?!

W-What's the meaning of this?

I think you have the wrong table!

You guys were deepin conversation,

so I went ahead andordered for us.

Well, we can't let it go to waste.

Let's eat.

Hey Cho-Cho Don't you want some?

You guys!

“ And here's your bill! “ Cho-cho, give me some meat too.

Don't you want any?

If you don't want any,

“ I'll eat it for you! “ Hey, don't eat it!

Are you okay, Sarada?

Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore.

You were pretty recklessout there.

Well, I am your daughter,after all.

Seriously!

So, when did you learnthe Fireball Jutsu?

I asked Dad to teach me.

I can't do it that well yet, though.

Hey, Dad's not coming hometonight again?

He should just relaxat home since he's back.

It's fine this way for him.

And besides, he comes hometo sleep late at night once in a while

when you aren't aware.

Your father's been helpingLord Seventh all this time,

and the work he doesis very difficult.

It's hard, but his work is forthe benefit of this world.

Hmm

That's very brave of you, Mom.

Hey, don't tease your mother!

Okay!

Chidori!

Amazing!

That's Old Man Kakashi's jutsu, huh?!

Hey, teach me that jutsu!

I can't.

Aw, meanie!

This jutsu comes into being

only when you have the visual insightof the Sharingan.

Then why didyou show it to me?

Your chakra hasa strong Lightning Nature.

Work to improvethe precision of seals

that configurethe Lightning Style.

In time, you'll be able touse powerful techniques.

Start off by trying the basics.

Yes sir

So, you're telling meif I work hard at it,

I'll be able to use techniqueslike the Chidori, right?

I got it.

There once was a man whorefused to heed the words of others,

and sought power regardlessof the method

and tried to changethe world all by himself.

Yeah?

And what happened to him?

He paid for it dearly.

However, in the end,a friend saved him.

So, in short,friends are important, right?

I'm all good when it comes to that.

I have great people all around me!

I see.

And now, we'll begin the finals!

My jutsu's good for facingmultiple opponents simultaneously.

I'll take you two onat the same time!

Do you want to join forces for this?

It would be disgraceful fortwo Leaf Shinobi to lose.

We can't letthe Five Kage see that!

I can't lose either!

All right! It's official,we're teaming up!

Next time on BorutoNaruto Next Generations:

"The Iron Sand User: Shinki"

I'll show you that you can't destroymy impenetrable Iron Wall!
