Synopsis

Following Orochimaru's assault, Naruto, accompanied by two jonin and the venerable "Eternal Genin," embarked on a patrol of the Land of Fire's border. Several uneventful days passed before a band of enemy ninjas breached the defenses. The Eternal Genin displayed considerable courage in the ensuing engagement, and recalling teachings imparted by the Second and Third Hokage, recognized striking resemblances between Naruto and his father.
