第267話: 学校劇の稽古中にカワキの正体が露見し、暗殺未遂事件が発生

267

The class acts out a reenactment of the history of the village. Himawari gets to play her grandfather, Minato and Kawaki ends up as Katsuyu, while Kae plays Tsunade and Eiki plays Jiraiya. Kawaki has a heart-to-heart with Kae, and how the play has affected her. She wants to stay with her friends forever, something which she found out Orochimaru couldn't do after his exile years ago. Meanwhile, Eiki learns that Kawaki is a genin and attempts to steal his real headband for the play, with the help of one of his classmates. During the play rehearsals, Eiki makes his move. Unfortunately for everyone else, he accidentally ruins the stage, forcing Kawaki to step in and save everyone. He makes Eiki see the consequences of his rash actions and he finally apologizes. Together, the class fixes the stage, but Kawaki loses his headband. Osuka finds it and returns it, having overheard Eiki with their classmate earlier in the day. Eiki comes up to Himawari and Kawaki, apologizing again. He shows them a note he received anonymously, which reveals Kawaki's identity. Kawaki hurries off to Kae's aid, who was about to be murdered by an assassin sent by the Minister of her country, who has conspirators aiming to get her younger brother on the throne, instead of her.
