Inari's Courage Put to the Test

Years ago, after Team 7 completed their first mission and bid good bye to Tazuna and his grandson Inari, Naruto runs back to pick up a ramen coupon he left behind with Sasuke chasing after him. Meanwhile, Inari finds the coupon and runs off to find Naruto before he runs into bullies as they are all captured by Gatou's subordinates who intend to renew their criminal empire once the ninja have left. The boys are able to escape from the hideout, but the kidnappers follow with Inari luring them away so the boys can reach the village. Luckily, Naruto and Sasuke find signs of the struggle and save Inari at the last second while Gatou's subordinates were all captured, though Inari lost the coupon during the chaos. In the present following Nagato's defeat, Naruto and Sakura see Tazuna and an older Inari as they and Inari's former bullies are aiding in the rebuilding the Hidden Leaf Village.
