Enter the chapter that continues from Episode 1.

 

Ken: I found you.

[Hatake Ken, 16 years old]

 

Ken: The blood knife killer, Missing-nin from Kirigakure.

 

Ken: He doesn’t look easy to catch… seriously?

 

 

 

 

Man: A straight attack? And you’re all by yourself? Is this kid looking down on me?

 

Man: Hmm…. Konohagakure’s Shinobi?

 

Man: If you came alone then it means you’re either stupid or very skillful.

Ken: Of course I’m skillful.

 

Prove it!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ken: Woah. The information I got was right. This man is so brutal. He’s pretty muscular and really fast as well.

Man: Oh. You dodged my attack. You’re good.

 

Man: I think it’s time to fight seriously.

Ken: What? Are you saying you just played with me?

 

 

Ken: Wait, wait. This is considered cheating!

Man: So what? You’re not as cocky as in the beginning from our fight.

 

 

 

Man: You’re almost as fast as me.

Ken: Stupid! I am better than you!

 

Ken: There’s a chance I’ll be killed if I don’t do something right now.

 

Man: HA! What happened? Where is that arrogant behavior of yours now?!!

 

Ken: Jezz!!

 

Man: HAHAHA!

Ken: Damn it! He ran away again!!

 

Ken: Do you want to play a game?

 

Ken: Maybe I should summon my Niken and…. No, he’s way too fast. I can’t risk it.

 

Ken: Well… Let’s play a game. Who will be the lucky one.

 

 

Man: Using your clones to find me? Stupid.

Ken: You never know what will happen.

 

 

Ahh!!

 

Ken: That way!!

 

 

Man: Haha! You’re lucky… clone? How long can your luck last…

Ken: Shit! So fast.

 

Ken: If he doesn’t approach me, I cannot catch him. But it’s too dangerous if he comes near me.

 

Ahh!!

 

Ken: Missed it! I wasted my clones!

 

Man: Unbelievable. You’re a lucky man. Left the real one here? Honestly, I thought I would have more fun with you.

Ken: Damn!!

 

Man: Die!!

 

 

 

 

Ken: Lightning Mesh!!

 

Man: Y..you… changed yourself to a weapon!?

 

Man: All of them were…clones? …You planned this from the beginning?

Ken: Woah! He’s so stubborn. Can’t you accept your defeat?

 

Ken: Oh, it’s not like that… I’m not good at preparing a plan because I never follow it directly …actually, I had to change my plan in the middle of the fight because I didn’t think you would be this fast.

 

Man: So…. This is why Konoha only sent you to get me…?

Ken: Sorry not sorry. I am a genius.

 

Ken: But most importantly, I don’t underestimate my opponent.

 

Ahhh!!!

 

Ken: Don’t worry. You won’t die, just wanna make sure that you won’t wake up before we reach the village.

 

Ken: Sigh…why do I always get such hard missions lately? Why isn’t the Seventh Hokage giving me missions to protect cute girls?

 

Naruto: A single person cannot do the escort mission, idiot. You need to have a team. Do you want to do it?

Ken: Well..Then let me pass…

 

Naruto: There are a few more arrests on the thief mission. If you’re going to leave the village again, take this one as well. Otherwise, it will be a long time before you will come back to the village.

Ken: I’m not going anywhere yet. My dad would kill me if I don’t spend some time at home.

 

Naruto: I don’t want to be fussy but Kakashi-sensei doesn’t want you to go anywhere. You should spend some time in the village, you know?

Ken: …I know.

 

 

Ken: If I could, I would stay at home but I’m trying to hide from my friends. They would find me when I stay at home…

 

Ken: Mom, I’m back.

Mina: Ken-chan, welcome back!

 

Mina: Wait, why did you get the wound?

Ken: Come on, just a little, mom. It’s not a big deal.

 

Kakashi: Yo, you’re back?

Ken: You’re already home, dad? Ever since you stepped down as Hokage you have had a lot more freetime, right?

 

Ken: Now that you’re free we can finally take that trip together that we talked about. Should we pick a day and place?

Kakashi: Oh, that’s a good idea but the Chunin Exams are coming up soon. Don’t you want to watch?

Ken: Eh, that’s right!

 

Kakashi: You won’t go on another mission before the Chunin Exams start, right?

Ken: Naruto-sensei has a mission that he wants me to do.

 

Kakashi: …….

Ken: I haven’t received it yet. I promised you that I would stay at home for a while… I’m not going anywhere.

 

Ken: I’m going to change my clothes first. I’ll come down when dinner is ready.

Mina: Okay, I will let you know.

 

Mina: I don’t want to tell him that Tsukune-kun and Mibuna-chan have been looking for him ever since he decided to take those missions. I’m afraid he will run away again when he gets assigned to another mission.

Kakashi: Yeah, I’ll talk to him.

 

Kakashi: He’s been running away since that day. I think it’s time for him to open up and talk to his friends clearly.

 

[Ken has always been straightforward but sometimes he can’t do that and that’s why he runs away.]
