**[00:20] ---**
Halt!
**[00:26] ---**
Are you a shinobi
of the Hidden Leaf?
**[00:28] ---**
Yes, I'm Kakashi Hatake
of Hidden Leaf Village.
**[00:32] ---**
Our Lady Hokage sent me here.
**[00:35] ---**
I have a joint letter from the Hidden Leaf
and the Hidden Sand.
**[00:40] ---**
Then I will accept it.
**[00:42] ---**
No… I've been ordered to
present it to your leader,
**[00:45] ---**
Hanzo of the Salamander himself.
**[00:49] ---**
Is that a part of your plan
to get close to Lord Hanzo?!
**[00:54] ---**
Threatening me is the same as
threatening the Hidden Leaf and Sand…
**[01:00] ---**
Is that what you really want?
**[01:05] ---**
All right…
**[01:07] ---**
I'll let them know.
**[02:41] ---**
*The Chunin Exams Begin!*
**[02:56] ---**
Lord Hanzo will see you now.
**[02:58] ---**
Surrender all of your weapons,
and then enter.
**[03:02] ---**
*As rumored, the immigration inspections*
*are extremely strict.*
**[03:13] ---**
*So his security is airtight.*
**[03:16] ---**
Kakashi Hatake…
**[03:18] ---**
Nice of you to come.
**[03:20] ---**
Put the message you brought
over there.
**[04:06] ---**
The Leaf has brought an invitation
to the Chunin Exams
**[04:08] ---**
jointly sponsored by them
and the Sand.
**[04:11] ---**
It's probably just a ploy to gather
all the villages and spy on them.
**[04:18] ---**
Hanzo sent many of the genin from
this village for the last Chunin Exams.
**[04:26] ---**
Then send a few teams
to keep them happy.
**[04:31] ---**
Let them keep believing that
Hanzo is the leader of the Hidden Rain…
**[04:35] ---**
In the meantime, we'll gather intel
about the Jinchuriki.
**[04:39] ---**
Understood…
**[05:11] ---**
Is everyone here?
**[05:18] ---**
A letter has arrived from Hanzo of
the Salamander
**[05:22] ---**
from the Hidden Rain Village.
**[05:28] ---**
Well, well… He's sending genin to
join the Hidden Leaf and Sand…
**[05:35] ---**
Does this repudiate the rumors
surrounding the Hidden Rain then?
**[05:41] ---**
No…
**[05:42] ---**
Sending genin could simply be
a ruse to hide the truth…
**[05:49] ---**
Then…
**[05:51] ---**
Keep a close watch
**[05:52] ---**
on the Hidden Rain genin
who are sent here.
**[06:19] ---**
I am so bored…
**[06:29] ---**
Fuu! Lord Shibuki wants to see you.
**[06:33] ---**
Oh no! Did I do something?
**[06:39] ---**
WATERFALL
**[06:45] ---**
Lord Shibuki, I've brought Fuu.
**[06:48] ---**
Hey, Fuu!
**[06:52] ---**
What's up, Chief?!
**[06:55] ---**
What were you thinking?!
**[06:56] ---**
Requesting an application for
the Chunin Exams
**[06:59] ---**
from the Hidden Leaf?!
**[07:00] ---**
Shouldn't I have?
**[07:02] ---**
Then can you recommend me?
**[07:05] ---**
What?!
**[07:07] ---**
And what will you do if it leaks out
that you're a Jinchuriki?
**[07:11] ---**
Well then…
I guess I'll go on my own.
**[07:13] ---**
Huh?!
**[07:15] ---**
H-Hey wait!
**[07:17] ---**
Wait, Fuu!
**[07:19] ---**
I want to see the outside world!
**[07:22] ---**
If you won't acknowledge me,
I'll just leave the village!
**[07:25] ---**
A-All right!
**[07:29] ---**
You never give up once
you make up your mind.
**[07:31] ---**
Will you forgive me?
**[07:35] ---**
Then listen to me.
**[07:41] ---**
The Chunin Exams aren't
your run-of-the mill tests.
**[07:45] ---**
It's a battle where you
put your life on the line
**[07:46] ---**
for your dreams and
the pride of the village.
**[07:49] ---**
In the past, the Village Hidden
in the Waterfalls
**[07:51] ---**
was nowhere near the scale
of the Hidden Leaf or Sand,
**[07:55] ---**
but we were feared
**[07:56] ---**
as a shinobi village that produced
skilled jonin, one after another.
**[08:01] ---**
That's why although we are
not part of the Five Great Nations,
**[08:04] ---**
we are allotted a Tailed Beast.
**[08:07] ---**
The Chunin Exam is the ideal opportunity
to make a name for us
**[08:10] ---**
and impress the Feudal Lords
who hire Hidden Villages,
**[08:12] ---**
and other shinobi leaders as well.
**[08:15] ---**
It's our chance to restore
our past glory.
**[08:19] ---**
As long as you're going
to participate,
**[08:21] ---**
go out and fight to make
the Hidden Waterfall known.
**[08:25] ---**
All right! Got it!
**[08:27] ---**
I'll rile up a storm!
**[08:29] ---**
However!
**[08:30] ---**
Don't let anyone find out…
**[08:32] ---**
…that you are a Jinchuriki…
**[08:34] ---**
Okay!
**[08:39] ---**
Kegon, Yoro…
**[08:41] ---**
Hide your jonin status
and guard Fuu.
**[08:42] ---**
Right!
**[08:43] ---**
– Right!
– Right!
**[08:47] ---**
He's beyond my control now.
**[08:51] ---**
Does this mean…
**[08:53] ---**
the Hidden Waterfalls will
send one team of three?
**[08:58] ---**
It's almost terrifying
in its brevity,
**[09:02] ---**
but it is an official application.
**[09:04] ---**
Let's close
the application period soon!
**[09:08] ---**
Oh!
**[09:08] ---**
What is it?
**[09:09] ---**
W-We forgot to solicit
Hidden Leaf entrants!
**[09:14] ---**
What?!
**[09:22] ---**
Are you actually going
to supervise?
**[09:25] ---**
Yes. I'll oversee the finals
of the second round.
**[09:30] ---**
It's so that no fatalities
occur during the test.
**[09:32] ---**
What will you achieve
by smoking out the rebels?
**[09:35] ---**
It's not like that…
**[09:36] ---**
Then what?
**[09:38] ---**
Why would you go so far
as to face danger head on?
**[09:42] ---**
My feelings haven't changed
from that time.
**[09:46] ---**
Don't tell me…
you want to bond with the rebels?
**[09:50] ---**
That's impossible!
**[09:52] ---**
Even if you're up to it,
they won't listen!
**[09:56] ---**
He is…
**[09:57] ---**
Naruto is working hard,
to forge bonds with others…
**[10:03] ---**
So I won't give up either
until the day comes
**[10:05] ---**
when I can share suffering,
sadness, and happiness with others.
**[10:10] ---**
I consider this my first test,
**[10:12] ---**
as the Kazekage of
the Hidden Sand.
**[10:16] ---**
*Once he makes up his mind,*
*he won't listen… Damn it!*
**[10:22] ---**
The Hidden Sand will send
the same as last time…
**[10:25] ---**
Nine teams, 27 shinobi.
**[10:27] ---**
The Hidden Rain will have fifteen.
**[10:29] ---**
And Hidden Grass is sending six.
**[10:32] ---**
The Hidden Waterfall sent word
**[10:34] ---**
that they are also sending
a team of three.
**[10:38] ---**
The Hidden Cloud and
Land of Water sent polite regrets,
**[10:43] ---**
but our invitation was sent back
by the Land of Earth.
**[10:47] ---**
As the host village,
**[10:49] ---**
we'll have to enter the same number
as the last exams.
**[10:55] ---**
I want all of you to list
the genin under you
**[10:58] ---**
and turn in your recommendations.
**[11:22] ---**
Are you stupid?
**[11:23] ---**
That's barely cooked.
**[11:26] ---**
Meat tastes best when
there's still some red left.
**[11:31] ---**
Hey, Asuma Sensei…
**[11:33] ---**
So what's going to happen
to our team
**[11:36] ---**
in the upcoming Chunin Exams?
**[11:38] ---**
Considering your skills now,
it's only natural I recommend you.
**[11:44] ---**
But Shikamaru is already
a chunin, so he can't enter.
**[11:49] ---**
So we're one member short.
**[11:53] ---**
Currently, Team Asuma is
captained by Shikamaru.
**[11:58] ---**
If I'm to find a replacement…
**[12:01] ---**
It's going to be difficult
**[12:02] ---**
to be a stand-in for only
the Chunin Exams.
**[12:05] ---**
Umm… I have someone in mind.
**[12:11] ---**
Someone who rivals Shikamaru
in intelligence?
**[12:17] ---**
CIPHER CORPS
**[12:27] ---**
Is there anyone like that?
**[12:29] ---**
She's probably not
as smart as Shikamaru,
**[12:31] ---**
but she may just
be tougher than him.
**[12:41] ---**
You'll be fine now.
**[12:52] ---**
Me? Join Team Asuma?
**[12:55] ---**
Both Sasuke and Naruto
are missing from Team 7, right?
**[12:59] ---**
Y-Yeah…
**[13:02] ---**
So you need to
join a three-man team
**[13:04] ---**
in order to take
the Chunin Exams, right?!
**[13:07] ---**
Yeah…
**[13:09] ---**
So you'll join, right?
**[13:12] ---**
But…
**[13:14] ---**
I know your strength
better than anyone.
**[13:19] ---**
At the last Chunin Exams…
**[13:21] ---**
I got a good taste of your power.
**[13:28] ---**
Still…I can't.
Please find someone else.
**[13:32] ---**
Why?!
**[13:34] ---**
We know that you've trained hard
under Lady Tsunade for two years.
**[13:39] ---**
You've grown so much.
**[13:44] ---**
If you're just going to wait
for Naruto and Sasuke…
**[13:48] ---**
If you do that,
**[13:49] ---**
you'll never be able to grab
opportunities that come around!
**[13:52] ---**
It's not that…
**[13:54] ---**
If you add me onto your team now,
I'll probably be a nuisance.
**[13:58] ---**
That's not true! Please!
**[14:14] ---**
*Cha!*
**[14:22] ---**
*Your movements are getting better!*
**[14:25] ---**
*By the way, do you remember*
*the first thing I taught you?*
**[14:29] ---**
*Of course.*
**[14:30] ---**
*Medic Ninja must never*
*get themselves killed.*
**[14:33] ---**
*Thus they must never force*
*their way forward.*
**[14:36] ---**
*That is true…*
**[14:38] ---**
*However, that does not mean*
*that you don't have*
**[14:40] ---**
*to learn jutsu necessary*
*to fight on the frontline.*
**[14:44] ---**
*And…*
**[14:46] ---**
*What I'm teaching you now…*
**[14:48] ---**
*Keep it buried in your heart*
*and train. Understood?*
**[14:53] ---**
*Yes!*
**[15:07] ---**
*While I'm training,*
*I'll only be a burden to others.*
**[15:13] ---**
*But…*
**[15:22] ---**
How did it go?
What did Sakura say?
**[15:27] ---**
She turned us down.
**[15:29] ---**
Aww… We're short one,
and she's short two.
**[15:34] ---**
I thought it would
have been perfect!
**[15:37] ---**
What did Sakura say?
**[15:39] ---**
She doesn't want to
be a burden on us.
**[15:45] ---**
What a lame excuse.
**[15:48] ---**
But… I haven't given up yet!
**[16:15] ---**
Excuse me.
**[16:18] ---**
Oh…sorry.
**[16:21] ---**
Please…
**[16:22] ---**
Thank you!
**[16:30] ---**
Excuse me.
**[16:31] ---**
May I ask you to take a look
at these and put your seal on it?
**[16:34] ---**
Shizune, do you want to kill me?!
**[16:38] ---**
It's been a while since
we had the Chunin Exams
**[16:41] ---**
and nothing moves forward
without your seal of approval.
**[16:46] ---**
Damn it…
I didn't expect all this work.
**[16:50] ---**
Oh, Sakura was here.
**[16:53] ---**
What?
**[16:53] ---**
If she needed something,
why didn't she just come in?
**[17:07] ---**
*What would Naruto do…*
*if he were in my place?*
**[17:14] ---**
I'm going to attack you now…
**[17:16] ---**
and it'll be for real.
**[17:19] ---**
Come at me seriously,
as if I'm your enemy.
**[17:26] ---**
Got it!
**[17:35] ---**
LEAF HOSPITAL
**[17:46] ---**
What's wrong?
**[17:48] ---**
Sakura!
**[17:49] ---**
He got caught under
a landslide during a mission.
**[17:53] ---**
His condition is grave.
**[17:57] ---**
He needs emergency surgery
right away.
**[17:59] ---**
Take him to the ICU immediately!
**[18:01] ---**
Right!
**[18:02] ---**
ICU
**[18:08] ---**
I'm beginning treatment.
**[18:15] ---**
*I can't keep running behind*
*Naruto and Sasuke forever.*
**[18:19] ---**
*I have to surpass my limits*
*on my own.*
**[18:46] ---**
*It's no good.*
*I don't have enough chakra!*
**[18:49] ---**
*I need to concentrate*
*more chakra for the surgery…*
**[19:02] ---**
*More…more chakra!*
**[19:05] ---**
What? Sakura is?!
**[19:07] ---**
Yes. We just got word
from Leaf Hospital…
**[19:11] ---**
This is not good.
**[19:12] ---**
What?
**[19:13] ---**
But Sakura is skilled enough
to do a surgery like this…
**[19:19] ---**
If this was our usual Sakura…
**[19:21] ---**
We have to go.
**[19:43] ---**
ICU
**[19:50] ---**
Sakura!
**[19:57] ---**
The Jutsu Ritual using chakra
was completed without incident.
**[20:01] ---**
The surgery was a success.
**[20:03] ---**
Leave it to your student.
She did an outstanding job.
**[20:07] ---**
I see.
**[20:10] ---**
*You are truly a disciple of Tsunade,*
*one of the Legendary Sannin.*
**[20:15] ---**
*At this point,*
*you should be capable*
**[20:17] ---**
*of overcoming any hardship*
*that comes your way.*
**[20:21] ---**
Okay, with the team of
Ino, Choji and Sakura…
**[20:24] ---**
our participant list is complete.
**[20:27] ---**
It's not as many as the 29 teams
we had the last time…
**[20:30] ---**
But it's a decent list of participants.
**[20:32] ---**
Yes.
**[20:34] ---**
The time has finally come.
**[22:37] ---**
The Chunin Exam!
**[22:39] ---**
It's been a while
since they last held them!
**[22:40] ---**
It's been two years.
**[22:42] ---**
I see, so this means
Big Brother Naruto's coming back!
**[22:45] ---**
Huh? Naruto?
**[22:47] ---**
He's coming back to
take the Chunin Exam, right?
**[22:49] ---**
He's not coming.
**[22:50] ---**
What?
**[22:51] ---**
Who knows where or how
he's training right now.
**[22:54] ---**
His whereabouts are still unknown…
**[22:56] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
**[22:58] ---**
In Naruto's Fuutsteps ~ The Path Traveled
"The Three Questions"
**[23:00] ---**
Does this mean they're going to proceed
without including Big Brother Naruto?
