Debriefing

Debriefing is the third chapter of Season One, as well as the series as a whole.

Plot
Tsunade introduces herself to Matt and welcomes him to the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Matt is quite perplexed at everything that has happened, and Tsunade agrees that she will answer his questions. Matt first asks if his mother knows he is safe, and Tsunade confirms that she does. She hypothesizes that Saisho Teki came after Matt in order to recruit him. Matt insists that he would provide no use to Saisho, and Kakashi Hatake states that he feels this way because Matt does not know what he really is. Tsunade reveals to Matt that he is a Shinobi, explaining to him that he possesses Chakra within him. She tells him that he was separated from the Hidden Leaf, but Matt corrects her, stating he has lived in Roaring Falls his whole life. Tsunade then posits that he must be descended from a Shinobi that immigrated to the United States. She explains that this is a common occurrence, and she directs to Shizune, who tells him that hundreds have done so just from the Hidden Leaf. Tsunade then briefly discusses the Shinobi World, the Hidden Villages, and the number of Shinobi that exist.

As Matt processes all of this, he thanks them all for saving him before asking if he will not return to Roaring Falls. Tsunade and Kakashi tell him that this is not the case. When they inform him that he will need to stay in the Hidden Leaf for a time, Matt resists this, insisting that no one will prevent him from returning to his family. He and Tsunade get into a heated argument over the issue, and when both Kakashi and Shizune fail to ease the tension, Tsunade firmly informs him that they will forcibly keep him in the Leaf if necessary. Shizune intervenes, stating that they may not be able to save Matt from Saisho a second time, and that he shouldn't worry his mother by putting himself in danger. Matt considers this, eventually agreeing to stay. He and Tsunade reconcile, and she tells him to get rest before his training begins the next day. Kakashi takes him, showing him to his residence in the Leaf. Telling Matt to find him at the hospital if he needs anything, Kakashi departs and leaves Matt alone. Matt goes into his house, the events of the day weighing on him, and he eventually falls asleep.
