Huh? Uh... Ex. Cuse me...
Return of the Morning Mist
My mother and my father... They didn't have to die.
Because I didn't have strength, the whole clan was destroyed.
Everyone was killed...
Darn it...
Morning training is over!
Once I've eaten breakfast
I'll get back to rigorous training!
Old man...
Konohamaru...
Yo! Konohomaru.
Naruto.
Have you already resumed studies at the academy?
N No, not yet.
The school buildings are damaged, so we're all repairing them.
Is that so?
How about you, Naruto? You're already training?
Sort of.
Wh What?
What is it?
N -No, it's nothing...
- Hey um...! - Hey um...!
So what is it...?
You too, Naruto, what is it?
Nothing... really...
I don't feel Ionely.
Huh?
There's no time to be feeling Ionely.
Everyone is working really hard to rebuild the village right now.
Konohamaru...
Right now, I must work for the village even just a little bit.
So Naruto, you work hard at your training too.
If you don't, I'll become Hokage before you.
Fool, I will absolutely become Hokage
Besides... you have to graduate from the Academy first.
Oh, that's right...
Oh, here it is.
Here, it's for you.
A free ramen ticket from Ichiraku...
Is it okay?
I already have one, so I'm giving one to you.
Thank you, Naruto.
Oh! Konohamaru.
Good morning.
I'm going to go.
We'll work hard again today.
- Yep! - Yep!
Today we're fixing the blackboards.
I brought paint.
Well! Once I've eaten ramen at Ichiraku, I'll continue training.
This is it.
Th This is...
Alot of time has passed since the death.
It's probably before the Chunin Exam began.
I see, so that's it...
That Orochimaru!
After the murder of Lord Kazekage,
Orochimaru... or someone like Kabuto played Kazekage...
How thoughtless we were...
That darn Sarutobi...
Well, it's not that easy.
The one who was your opponent was the renowned Hokage
deemed to be strongest of all five great nations.
However... you've done well. Two out of the five Kages...
Stop...
Stop giving me words of sympathy.
I will kill you!
Of course, I didn't mean to...
It's true that we didn't succeed in bringing the village down...
On the other hand, another objective of this plan, Sasuke Uchiha...
Your leash is now on him.
In exchange for these arms and all of my Jutsu...
If we could have gotten our hands on that Itachi Uchiha from the beginning,
it wouldn't have been a problem.
However that's a dream that can no longer come true.
He is stronger than I am.
That is why... I pulled myself out from that organization...
Kakashi, huh?
What does he want?
Breakfast, breakfast!
Wait for me, my ramen.
Do you already know his whereabouts?
Yes.
In that case, it will be easy...
Let's go.
Here it comes, here it comes.
Oh goodie, it's just like I thought.
Hidden Leaf Village... has a high average score.
You're still doing such a ridiculous thing?
Well yes, this is my research.
Old Man Homura and Koharu Sensei, huh?
I wonder what you advisers want from me.
Surely, you know...
without our telling you, don't you?
You don't have to make such scary faces.
I heard that the talks with Sand Village have been settled without problems.
The Hidden Village in the Sand announced that
everything was Orochimaru's handiwork.
In addition, at the moment of their complete surrender to us, the Leaf Village,
that wasn't a very important issue any more.
Leaf Village has no choice but to accept their surrender and proposition
in order to restore national power.
However, the current strength of Leaf Village has dropped drastically.
Under these conditions,
our top priority must be to prepare for any unpredicted crisis.
We don't know when any of the neighboring nations
will come out in a bold move.
Therefore, we've decided that until the village gets its strength back,
we should assemble the top few men from each troop,
and form an emergency executive committee to handle this.
But first...
we need a strong, trustworthy leader.
You can find the seeds of trouble rolling around everywhere these days.
It's not just Orochimaru.
You didn't have to go through the trouble of informing me that.
Well... I'll continue gathering materials.
I'm going to tell you the basic plan.
We need the Fifth Hokage right away.
And yesterday at an emergency meeting with the feudal lord of the Land of Fire,
we decided it would be you, Jiraiya.
I'm sorry, it's not my nature.
It has been decided.
Besides, if a Shinobi like you, renowned as a Sannin, is not...
then who is?
If you want a Sannin, there is one more left...
That Tsunade.
Certainly that child probably has that capability, but...
However, no one knows where she is.
I'll find and bring her back. If I do that there's no problem, right?
But...
A wise one like Tsunade is meant to be Hokage more than I, with no motivation.
What do you want to do?
All right. We'll give it urgent consideration.
However, we'll have three members from Anbu Black Ops to accompany you
as the search unit for Tsunade.
Don't worry, I won't escape from this. The guards are not necessary.
However...
There is one guy that I want to take with me on my trip.
I've found an interesting egg...
What? That is absolutely strange.
Sorry, but if you don't have a ticket, there's no ramen.
No, wait a minute! I absolutely had one more.
Huh?
The one that I gave Konohamaru, was it the last?
Welcome!
Hey, my ramen!
"Racy Violence"
Yo, you two!
You seem to be getting along well.
Fool, Anko asked me to buy rice dumplings. That's all.
What are you doing here?
While I'm here to buy offerings, I've made plans to meet here...
with Sasuke.
Huh, it's rare that you wait for people.
Is the offering to Obito?
Obito?
Well... that's about right.
Kakashi, it's strange for you to be here first.
Well... once in a while.
I don't do natto (fermented beans) And sweet things.
Oh... Is that so?
What?!
This is absolutely positively strange!
You guys aren't from the village... Why in the world did you come?
I haven't seen you for a while Asuma, Kurenai.
If you know about us, are you former Leaf Shinobi?
- Huh?! - Huh?!
Y You are?!
Humph, without a doubt...
Itachi...
Uchiha.
You are acquaintances of Itachi?
If so...
I'll introduce myself as well.
I'm Kisame Hoshigaki.
Hereafter, I hope to be familiar with you.
Never mind later, I'm going to beat you now!
Itachi...
It seems you're pretty unpopular in the village too.
I know you, too.
Kisame Hoshigake,
originally a Shinobi of Hidden Village in the Mist.
Suspected of national covert activities and of killing a feudal lord,
a Rogue Ninja from Land of Water, on the wanted list in all nations.
You're a major S rank criminal listed in the Bingo Book.
Itachi, you have some nerve coming back to this village
after causing that awful incident.
Asuma... Kurenai...
Don't interfere with me.
I don't intend to kill you.
That's not a line for you, who killed your comrades.
I know there's no way you'd come here
without any clear purpose in those suspicious appearance.
What are you after?
This guy is pretty annoying. Should we kill him?
It doesn't look like we are able to leave the village so smoothly...
But don't overdo it, your techniques tend to stand out.
They're done for then.
This is...
Genjutsu.
Pressing down with the tip of his sword... What strength.
My large sword, Shark Skin...
doesn't cut, but lops it off!
Kurenai... You're late.
With this...
it's over!
Genjutsu of that level doesn't work on me.
This is...Genjutsu Reversal?
Kurenai!
There's no time to look away.
That's what's expected from you, Kurenai.
But...
"But this is as far as it goes...
for you.
What?!
Water Style!
- Water Shark Bomb Jutsu! - Water Shark Bomb Jutsu!
The same Jutsu as me?!
Why have you shown up too?
Well... I asked you to take care of them earlier.
But I kinda felt uneasy, you know.
Shadow clones.
Kakashi...
Hatake.
Cripes... So much fuss for nothing.
I...
I put it under my headband
in order not to drop the important ticket during morning training.
Okay, that's fine... Eat well and do your best.
Hmm?
You're going to do it again after this, right? Training?
Of course! I'm full of motivation.
Good! Here you go.
Another serving for free! Go for it!
Thank you, sir!
Welcome.
Just like I heard... I had to come and see it.
It seems that you really are just eating ramen.
Oh, Pervy Sage!
A cycle of hardship, right?
Inside, we were crying, right?
But the one thing we won't give up is the dream we've chosen, right?
It's a secondary role,
a role in the shadows
But in reaching for that dream,
let us stay centered, let us stay true
Over and over, we hung on without giving up
Over and over, we kept coming back up
Over and over, we believed and dreamed
Over and over, we've seen fools
Over and over, we've stood in the shadows of others
Now, it's our turn... Let us bask in our dreams
Itachi Uchiha...
who became a leader of Anbu Black Ops at the age of thirteen
and who destroyed the Uchiha clan single -handedly.
I don't know why he has suddenly appeared after all this time...
But I don't think we will allow him to leave so easily.
What is your purpose?!
Next time: "Sharingan vs. Sharingan!"
