English
I'm turning this around, aiming for nothing less than first place I Can Feel it as long as I always believe in the light

I remember the dream I hold dear almost slipped away His gentle smile makes my heart grow bigger than ever My chest is on fire, I am taking tomorrow into my hands I am not afraid of the unknown, Come on, Let's try and believe in the future! All of our tears will fall and form a rainbow for sure Will I someday be able to Hold this uncontainable sorrow?

When my heart begins to ache I will embrace tomorrow with all my might And clench my small trembling fist again I am turning this around, aiming for nothing less than first place I Can Feel It as long as I always believe in the light

Trivia

 * The sequence features an unusual mix of ukiyo-e, sumi-e and modern anime style for the presentation, with the characters being mostly in the native style of the series while their surroundings and actions (such as Kakashi's lightning) are in the traditional styles, especially in stills. It revolves around doors/viewscreens that give a peek on the various characters, as well as the twelve hand seals. The most common door is one that states.
 * At the beginning of the opening, Sasuke is depicted with his normal Mangekyō Sharingan as opposed to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. This is however corrected in all the subsquent episodes after the opening's debut.
 * During the sequence featuring Hagoromo, his staff is pointing in the incorrect direction. The side representing the sun is directed towards Sasuke when it should be pointing towards Naruto, while the side representing the moon is directed towards Naruto when it should be pointing towards Sasuke.
 * While Naruto is portrayed with the Six Paths Sage Mode, the new power he received from Hagoromo, Sasuke is not portrayed with his unique Rinnegan. This is however corrected in all the subsquent episodes after the opening's debut.
 * Naruto's eyes when in Six Paths Sage Mode is depicted with the pigment that usually appears in Naruto's normal Sage Mode.
 * During the fight between Madara and Guy, Madara has both his Rinnegan, even though he actually gets his other Rinnegan later on.
 * Both Naruto and Madara are missing their Truth-Seeking Balls behind their backs while portrayed in their new respective modes.
