Episode 11: The Land Where a Hero Once Lived

Release Date: December 12, 2002

  • Naruto wakes up in Tazuna’s house, stretching.

  • He looks around and mutters, “Man, this place feels gloomy…”

  • Tsunami serves breakfast kindly.

  • Naruto grins, “Thanks for the food!”

  • Inari eats silently, glaring at Naruto.

  • Naruto tries to lighten the mood, “Cheer up, kid. We’ll protect you all!”

  • Inari slams his chopsticks down, “You don’t understand anything! You’ll just get killed like everyone else who stood up to Gato!”

  • Naruto stares at him angrily, “What’s your problem?!”

  • Inari runs off upstairs, upset.

  • Sakura frowns at Naruto, “You didn’t have to yell at him.”

  • Naruto crosses his arms, muttering “Tch… brat.”

  • Later, the team gathers outside.

  • Kakashi, still weak, leans on crutches.

  • He says seriously, “We’ll be facing Zabuza again. You need training.”

  • Naruto’s eyes light up, “Yes! I’ll crush him next time!”

  • Sasuke smirks, “Don’t drag me down.”

  • Kakashi explains chakra basics, drawing diagrams on the ground.

  • Sakura listens carefully, “So chakra is physical energy plus spiritual energy…”

  • Kakashi nods, “But controlling it is the hard part.”

  • Naruto scratches his head, “Uhh… sounds complicated.”

  • Kakashi hands them leaves, “Stick these to your forehead using only chakra. That’s your first step.”

  • Naruto slaps the leaf on his head, shouting, “Easy!”

  • It falls off instantly.

  • Sasuke calmly focuses his chakra, and the leaf stays in place.

  • Naruto yells, “No way! How’d you do that?!”

  • Sasuke smirks, “Because I’m not an idiot.”

  • Naruto grits his teeth, determined.

  • Meanwhile, Inari sits by the water, remembering the past.

  • He recalls a man named Kaiza, a hero who once protected the village.

  • Inari’s memory shows Kaiza treating him like a son, smiling warmly.

  • But the memory darkens—Kaiza was captured by Gato’s men and executed in front of everyone.

  • Inari sobs in the memory, “Why… why did you have to die?”

  • Back in the present, Inari clenches his fists, whispering “Heroes always die. Naruto’s just like Kaiza… he’ll end up dead too.”

  • Naruto keeps struggling with the leaf exercise, sweating.

  • He yells at himself, “I’ll prove them wrong! I’ll be the hero who never gives up!”
