    The Three Questions
    
    
    
[01:40] ---
    Big Brother Shikamaru,
    what's going on?
[01:43] ---
    Hmm?
[01:44] ---
    The first round of the Chunin Exams
    will be held here,
[01:47] ---
    so we're just making
    a few upgrades.
[01:49] ---
    The Chunin Exams!
[01:51] ---
    It's been a while
    since they last held them!
[01:54] ---
    It's been two years…
[01:56] ---
    That means we get to participate!
[01:58] ---
    We can be chunin!
[02:01] ---
    You guys are
    still Academy students.
[02:04] ---
    You're not even genin,
    you can't participate.
[02:08] ---
    That's kind of a disappointment,
    but also a big relief…
[02:12] ---
    I see, so this means
    Big Brother Naruto's coming back!
[02:16] ---
    Huh? Naruto?
[02:17] ---
    He's coming back to take
    the Chunin Exams, right?
[02:20] ---
    He's not coming.
[02:21] ---
    What?
[02:25] ---
    Who knows where or how
    he's training right now.
[02:27] ---
    His whereabouts are still unknown.
[02:30] ---
    I don't know if he even
    got the news
[02:31] ---
    that we're holding
    the Chunin Exams.
[02:35] ---
    Does this mean
    they're going to proceed
[02:36] ---
    without Big Brother Naruto?
[02:38] ---
    It's not like the village can plan
    things to fit his schedule.
[02:45] ---
    Big Bro's going to be left behind.
[02:48] ---
    Our leader's going to
    get disqualified!
[03:07] ---
    We're representing the Hidden Sand,
    so we have to become chunin, okay?
[03:11] ---
    It's too soon to get
    all worked up.
[03:14] ---
    Calm down, Yukata.
[03:22] ---
    Seems like Shikamaru
    will be a proctor.
[03:26] ---
    That's not surprising.
[03:28] ---
    It's because he's already a chunin.
[03:31] ---
    Then let's buckle down and
    get promoted to chunin too! Right?
[03:43] ---
    Looking forward to
    doing this with you!
[03:44] ---
    - Let's kick some butt.
    - Yeah!
[03:47] ---
    All right, so the three of you
    are taking the exams, correct?
[03:50] ---
    You've been signed up.
[03:52] ---
    There's no trick this time,
[03:53] ---
    like preventing us from submitting
    an application is there?
[03:56] ---
    The exam is up to
    the proctor in charge.
[04:00] ---
    Okay, pull lots.
[04:08] ---
    Three?
[04:09] ---
    Two?
[04:11] ---
    One?
[04:12] ---
    Return the lots and please proceed
    to the classroom that you picked.
[04:17] ---
    They're so polite,
    it's almost creepy.
[04:20] ---
    Did Shikamaru plan this?
[04:22] ---
    What is he thinking?
[04:24] ---
    Next, please.
[04:32] ---
    You're the entrants from
    Hidden Waterfall Village.
[04:35] ---
    The name's Fuu.
[04:36] ---
    All right, please pull a lot.
[04:40] ---
    We've waited so long for this,
[04:42] ---
    so we have to make it
    and become chunin!
[04:46] ---
    You're so loud!
[04:49] ---
    Is this where the Chunin Exams
    are being held?!
[04:55] ---
    Hey! I'm back.
[04:58] ---
    Naruto!
[05:02] ---
    No way…
    Is that you, Naruto?!
[05:04] ---
    Are you real?
[05:06] ---
    I'm real!
[05:07] ---
    You really haven't changed much.
[05:11] ---
    Sure, I have! Want to see
    the results of all my training?
[05:21] ---
    Sexy Jutsu!
[05:23] ---
    How's that?
[05:25] ---
    Here! There!
[05:27] ---
    He's as stupid as ever…
[05:29] ---
    And that's why Naruto is Naruto.
[05:32] ---
    Byakugan!
[05:36] ---
    All right, I'm going to take part
    in the Exams too.
[05:40] ---
    But you need a team of three.
[05:42] ---
    I just came home and
    there's no one left,
[05:45] ---
    so I'll just ask them to
    make an exception.
[05:49] ---
    Huh?!
[05:53] ---
    What's the big idea?
[05:55] ---
    Don't get mad at Konohamaru!
[05:58] ---
    Are you all right, Konohamaru?
[06:01] ---
    It's all for Big Brother Naruto.
[06:04] ---
    Naruto?
[06:06] ---
    Because Big Brother
    can't take the exams.
[06:10] ---
    It's because he won't be able
    to be a chunin.
[06:13] ---
    So you tried to take it
    for him instead…
[06:15] ---
    A stand-in test taker…
[06:19] ---
    You don't need to worry
    about him.
[06:23] ---
    Naruto's is someone who'll
    keep striving to become Hokage
[06:25] ---
    without getting hung up on
    the details like becoming a chunin.
[06:28] ---
    He's right.
[06:30] ---
    And when he returns,
    we'll welcome him with a big smile.
[06:36] ---
    I got it.
[06:40] ---
    Next in line.
[06:46] ---
    One.
[06:47] ---
    Three…
[06:48] ---
    Two…
[06:50] ---
    Okay, leave the lots and
    go to your assigned rooms.
[06:53] ---
    Room One is
    the classroom up ahead.
[06:56] ---
    Rooms Two and Three
    are up the stairs.
[06:59] ---
    Huh? We're being separated?
[07:00] ---
    We're on our own?
[07:03] ---
    I'm in Room One.
[07:17] ---
    Oh!
[07:18] ---
    Big Brother Neji!
[07:26] ---
    Why were we separated
    from our teams?
[07:28] ---
    I have no idea.
[07:36] ---
    Huh?
[07:42] ---
    It won't open.
[07:43] ---
    I wonder what's happening?
[07:45] ---
    Isn't the proctor coming?
[07:47] ---
    They're planning something…
[07:49] ---
    Heh, bring it on!
[07:52] ---
    There's a stack of papers here.
[07:53] ---
    You shouldn't go around
    carelessly touching things…
[07:56] ---
    Uh…Ahem!
[08:00] ---
    I am Shikamaru Nara,
[08:02] ---
    the proctor for the first round
    of the Chunin Exams.
[08:05] ---
    Participants, take one sheet from
    the stack on the teacher's desk,
[08:08] ---
    then take any seat.
[08:11] ---
    Round One is a written test,
    after all.
[08:15] ---
    Oh good, it's the same as usual.
[08:31] ---
    Is everyone seated?
[08:34] ---
    This is a drag,
    so let's get right to it.
[08:37] ---
    This is a drag for him?
[08:38] ---
    We're serious about this!
[08:40] ---
    You guys are lucky.
    I'm in charge this year.
[08:44] ---
    He might be right.
[08:46] ---
    Why?
[08:47] ---
    He won't do anything unreasonable.
[08:51] ---
    Round One is a written test.
[08:53] ---
    Read the questions carefully.
[08:55] ---
    Three questions…
[08:57] ---
    The three questions are worth,
    from the top:
[09:01] ---
    30 points, 40 points,
    and 50 points.
[09:04] ---
    A perfect score is 120 points?
[09:07] ---
    Not 100?
[09:08] ---
    Each of you will answer
    just one of three questions.
[09:13] ---
    Your team's total points
    will determine pass-fail.
[09:16] ---
    If your team total exceeds 100,
    the team is disqualified.
[09:21] ---
    That's crazy!
[09:23] ---
    Then, for example…
[09:26] ---
    If the three have…
    30, 30, 50 for 110 points…
[09:30] ---
    30, 40, 40 for 110 points…
[09:33] ---
    or 40, 40, 40 for 120 points…
[09:36] ---
    These totals will
    disqualify them, right?
[09:39] ---
    Then we'll take the average
    of the teams who remain…
[09:41] ---
    and teams who score below
    the average will be disqualified.
[09:45] ---
    Those over the average will pass.
[09:48] ---
    An average score?
[09:50] ---
    Of the teams' totals…?
[09:53] ---
    Just a minute.
[09:54] ---
    How are we supposed to…?!
[09:55] ---
    The exam starts now.
[10:02] ---
    Which question should I solve?
[10:13] ---
    I don't understand
    this question at all!
[10:17] ---
    The question isn't just about
    solving the questions…
[10:22] ---
    Please don't say things that
    will confuse me even more!
[10:25] ---
    The three questions aren't that hard.
[10:29] ---
    Unless you're really dumb,
[10:31] ---
    anyone can solve
    the 50-point question too.
[10:33] ---
    Don't underestimate me!
[10:35] ---
    I won't run! I'll take the exam!
[10:37] ---
    I don't care if I get stuck as
    a genin for the rest of my life,
[10:39] ---
    because I'll be Hokage someday,
    no matter what!
[10:45] ---
    Come to think of it…
[10:47] ---
    there was a guy
    who was really that dumb…
[10:49] ---
    He couldn't solve a single question
    in the first-round exam,
[10:51] ---
    but he passed.
[10:54] ---
    Which means…
[10:55] ---
    They're not testing
    our problem-solving skills.
[10:57] ---
    It's the same as the last time!
[11:04] ---
    Now then…
[11:05] ---
    100 points is either…
    30, 30 and 40…
[11:10] ---
    Or 50, 50 and 0.
[11:15] ---
    What's the whole point
    of this first-round exam?
[11:18] ---
    The point of it is to think about
[11:20] ---
    how your other two
    team members will score.
[11:23] ---
    Or rather, how to make your two
    team members get a certain score.
[11:27] ---
    That gives an advantage to teams
    who know jutsu to contact each other.
[11:35] ---
    If that's the case, that's fine.
[11:38] ---
    All it means is that those teams
    that have those skills will get 100 points.
[11:43] ---
    And the rest have to suck it up
    and figure something out, huh?
[11:47] ---
    The first-round test in
    the last Chunin Exams
[11:49] ---
    was just like this, wasn't it?
[11:52] ---
    The point count isn't what's important.
[11:54] ---
    The Chunin Exams shine
    the light on who is captain material.
[11:58] ---
    If the point was to test strength,
    I wouldn't be a chunin.
[12:02] ---
    I guess so.
[12:04] ---
    What? No snide comeback?
[12:33] ---
    It's been sealed off.
[12:37] ---
    Big Brother Neji?
[12:49] ---
    Double paned windows, huh…
[12:51] ---
    They made sure that
    we couldn't contact our teammates.
[12:53] ---
    Should you be moving around like that?
[12:56] ---
    We were told a few rules,
    but no one's cautioned us yet
[13:01] ---
    NO UNAUTHORIZED FIGHTING
    
    
    for talking like this.
[13:02] ---
    I see…
[13:06] ---
    So, they don't care if
    we cheat or not.
[13:09] ---
    That's right…
[13:10] ---
    Last time, the first exam
    was all about cheating.
[13:19] ---
    It won't open…
[13:21] ---
    Leave it to Shikamaru…
    This is a difficult problem.
[13:24] ---
    If you can contact your teammates,
    you gain an advantage for this exam…
[13:31] ---
    But nobody on my team
    uses such ninjutsu.
[13:34] ---
    I wonder if Shino has any ideas…
[13:38] ---
    The only thing left is to try to guess
    which question my teammate will solve.
[13:43] ---
    If we choose the number
    we each picked…
[13:45] ---
    the point total will be over 100.
[13:49] ---
    Going over 100 points
    means immediate disqualification.
[13:51] ---
    We have to avoid that at all cost.
[13:55] ---
    If one of us scores zero points,
    we'll avoid going over 100, right?
[14:00] ---
    But there's no guarantee
[14:01] ---
    that the other two will each answer
    the 50-point question.
[14:05] ---
    And if the point total is too low,
[14:07] ---
    there's a good possibility of
    being dropped for a low average.
[14:12] ---
    If all of us solve the 30-point question
    and get 90 points,
[14:16] ---
    we'll lose to the team
    that has 100.
[14:20] ---
    If many teams score 100 points,
[14:23] ---
    and raise the average score,
    teams with 90 points will be disqualified.
[14:32] ---
    I guess finding
    a loophole seems impossible.
[14:36] ---
    The choices are 30, 30, 40
    or 0, 50, 50 to score 100 points.
[14:42] ---
    So the question is…
[14:44] ---
    figuring out which question
    each team member will solve.
[14:47] ---
    How should I know what
    questions Ino and Sakura will pick?
[14:52] ---
    What would Shino and Kiba do?
[14:56] ---
    Those two are probably wondering
    the same thing right now.
[15:00] ---
    Got it! I finally figured it out!
[15:03] ---
    Huh? You did?
[15:05] ---
    Yes!
[15:06] ---
    I solved the 50-point question!
[15:09] ---
    Oh…I see.
[15:11] ---
    I'm not going to show you.
[15:12] ---
    I won't look.
[15:13] ---
    I don't have to look.
[15:34] ---
    Who are you?
[15:36] ---
    You don't seem to be
    an Insect User, but…
[15:40] ---
    I hate to say this,
    but if Naruto were here,
[15:42] ---
    this first-round exam
    would be easy.
[15:45] ---
    Huh? Why?
[15:47] ---
    I mean, he'd score zero for sure.
[15:51] ---
    I think even Naruto could
    solve this 30-point question.
[15:55] ---
    Definitely not.
[15:57] ---
    Leave it to Naruto…
[15:59] ---
    It would be much simpler if Lee
    on our team was as obviously dumb.
[16:04] ---
    Umm… Excuse me.
[16:06] ---
    Yes?
[16:08] ---
    Can you tell me just what
    we're supposed to do
[16:10] ---
    for this first-round exam?
[16:12] ---
    That's what we're trying
    to figure out!
[16:15] ---
    You too, huh?
[16:16] ---
    These questions are
    really hard, aren't they?
[16:20] ---
    Well…yeah.
[16:27] ---
    Wouldn't you think
    the safest thing to do
[16:29] ---
    is for each of us to choose
    the 30-point question?
[16:32] ---
    Didn't he say something
    about the average score too?
[16:36] ---
    I see… We have to score 100 points,
    no matter what.
[16:40] ---
    I can't even figure out
    how to get 100 points.
[16:46] ---
    And time keeps on ticking away…
[16:54] ---
    I've trained hard… I'll try it.
[16:59] ---
    First, I have to sense those two.
[17:15] ---
    Hey, you two, please listen…
[17:20] ---
    Is that you, Fuu?
[17:23] ---
    All right.
[17:29] ---
    What're you up to?
[17:32] ---
    My teammates…
[17:40] ---
    Sensory Jutsu!
[17:44] ---
    Four…? I see…
[17:52] ---
    I don't get it.
[17:53] ---
    Choji…
[17:54] ---
    Huh?!
[17:56] ---
    I'll solve the 40-point question,
    so Choji, you do the 30-pointer.
[18:00] ---
    Oh, okay. Okay!
[18:03] ---
    I'll get Sakura to do the 30-pointer too.
[18:08] ---
    Hey, Gennai! Inaho!
[18:10] ---
    Can you hear me?!
[18:13] ---
    Tanzo, Minoji!
[18:15] ---
    It's me!
[18:16] ---
    – It's me!
    – Hey! It's me!
[18:18] ---
    – What are you trying to do?
    – Can you hear me?
[18:20] ---
    At this rate,
    no one's voice will be heard.
[18:28] ---
    Do you hear something?
[18:30] ---
    Is someone yelling?
[18:33] ---
    That's right!
[18:34] ---
    If they can hear me
    on the other side…!
[18:36] ---
    Hey!
[18:38] ---
    Can you hear me?!
[18:46] ---
    I can hear something.
[18:47] ---
    Someone's yelling.
[18:49] ---
    A lot of people are yelling.
[18:51] ---
    I see.
[18:52] ---
    Hey!
[18:54] ---
    Komugi, Gennai!
[18:58] ---
    Yahoo!
[18:59] ---
    Yahoo!
[19:08] ---
    Shouldn't we stop them?!
[19:10] ---
    If I stop them,
    this exam would be meaningless.
[19:16] ---
    Now then,
    who's doing to do what?
[19:19] ---
    I'll do the 50-point question!
[19:21] ---
    I'll do the 40-point one!
[19:23] ---
    It's so noisy.
[19:25] ---
    Who can hear over all this?
[19:28] ---
    There's shouting in
    the other classes too.
[19:31] ---
    Everyone's voices are
    blending together
[19:33] ---
    and nothing can
    be communicated.
[19:36] ---
    Nothing can be communicated, huh?
[19:39] ---
    Just watch…
[19:41] ---
    Sand Letters!
[19:50] ---
    
"I'll do the 40-point question."*
[19:54] ---
    It's Sajin!
[19:56] ---
    He wants us to do the 30-pointer.
[20:00] ---
    With that we'll total 100 points.
[20:03] ---
    Those fools…
[20:06] ---
    Lady Hinata…
[20:09] ---
    Let's continue your lesson here.
[20:11] ---
    What are you saying,
    Big Brother Neji?
[20:14] ---
    There's something I want to try.
[20:18] ---
    All right.
[20:23] ---
    Perform the Eight Trigrams:
    Air Palm…
[20:26] ---
    with all your might.
[20:34] ---
    – Eight Trigrams: Air Palm!
    – Eight Trigrams: Air Palm!
[20:39] ---
    W-What the—?!
[20:51] ---
    Hey…
[20:53] ---
    You guys…
[20:54] ---
    What the hell are you guys doing?!
[20:59] ---
    Showing you the answer
    to the question.
[22:39] ---
    What's the answer
    that you prepared?
    
    
[22:42] ---
    This question wouldn't exist
    if I wasn't the proctor.
    
    
[22:45] ---
    That's why there is no point
    in me answering that question.
    
    
[22:50] ---
    What are you quibbling about?
    
    
[22:53] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "One Worthy As A Leader"
    
    
[22:58] ---
