Ep. 261: Kawaki se matricula na Academia Ninja para proteger a Princesa Kae Yukiwari

261

Himawari and Kawaki attend the academy entrance ceremony, where Iruka and Naruto welcome them. In reality, Kawaki was entrusted a top-secret mission to guard Kae Yukiwari, the princess of the Land of Bamboo, a small neighboring country. Assassins aim to kill her, so that the king of the land would be forced to choose another successor. Only Iruka knows about Kawaki's mission at the academy. After class introductions, Himawari and her friends get to know Kae better. Following Naruto's advice to become friends with Kae to guard her, Kawaki invites her to eat taiyaki, and everyone misunderstands it as him hitting on her. Kawaki's efforts prove fruitless, but Himawari advises him to talk about romance novels, as Kae loves them. Kawaki trails Kae to the rooftop afternoon, and they begin to connect. Eiki Fuuma, the son of police chief Koutarou, keeps trying to impress Kae and prove that Kawaki is dangerous, so he steals a summoning scroll and tries to "protect" Kae from Kawaki. Eiki loses control of the summoning and is knocked out, but Kawaki defeats it and earns Kae's friendship. Back home, Himawari overhears Kawaki reporting his mission progress to Naruto.
