[01:30] ---
    One Worthy as a Leader
    
    
    
[01:37] ---
    Any idiot can solve
    a question like this.
[01:41] ---
    – Huh?
    – Yeah, he's right.
[01:45] ---
    So what question
    are you going to solve?
[01:48] ---
    Why should I tell you?
[01:50] ---
    Everyone is in a dilemma
    because they don't know…
[01:53] ---
    which one to solve.
[01:56] ---
    It's because they don't know
[01:58] ---
    which ones their teammates
    will choose.
[02:00] ---
    Neji is planning something.
[02:03] ---
    But why would he tell the others
    what he plans to do?
[02:09] ---
    The method he plans
    to use probably necessitates it.
[02:14] ---
    Do you know?
[02:16] ---
    I don't know about
    my teammates either.
[02:19] ---
    What is that supposed to mean?
[02:21] ---
    But if there's a way to let them know
    how many points I'll get,
[02:25] ---
    I can solve the question.
[02:28] ---
    That's if you can let them know.
[02:29] ---
    I'll communicate the number
    to the next room with vibration.
[02:34] ---
    I'll send four vibrations
    through the wall.
[02:36] ---
    I'll relay the information without
    leaving the room or destroying it.
[02:40] ---
    But will just hitting the wall
    get your message across?
[02:47] ---
    How would you interpret
    four bangs on the wall?
[02:49] ---
    If I should hear four signals…?
[02:56] ---
    That wouldn't mean the other person
    and I should score 40 points.
[03:01] ---
    If two takes 40 each,
    that's 80 points.
[03:04] ---
    Then if the one
    who signaled takes 50,
[03:06] ---
    40, 30, 0 points…
[03:11] ---
    None of the combinations
    totals 100.
[03:16] ---
    So it can be interpreted that the one
    who signaled will take the 40-pointer.
[03:22] ---
    And the other two
    can take the 30-pointers.
[03:28] ---
    – I see.
    – That makes sense.
[03:30] ---
    I wonder if Gennai and Inaho
    will think the same way.
[03:33] ---
    I hope Minoji and Tanzo
    are okay.
[03:36] ---
    Each village selected three genin
[03:39] ---
    to make up their teams
    for the Chunin Exams.
[03:42] ---
    Everyone just has
    to trust their teammates.
[03:46] ---
    But why would you teach this
    to all of us?
[03:50] ---
    If I suddenly pounded
    on the wall four times,
[03:52] ---
    what would you think?
[03:54] ---
    Well… Naturally, I'd get suspicious.
[03:57] ---
    You would, right?
[03:59] ---
    And I didn't want you guys
    to do something and interfere.
[04:03] ---
    I figured I'd come clean
    and let everyone in on this,
[04:07] ---
    and we can all pass
    this stupid paper test.
[04:11] ---
    All of us?!
[04:13] ---
    So that's his plan.
[04:14] ---
    Everybody passes…
    He really got you there, Mr. Proctor.
[04:18] ---
    Well, I've gotten a good look
    at his leadership skills.
[04:26] ---
    All of us?
[04:29] ---
    I see… You're right.
[04:32] ---
    But how about letting me pass on
    the info to the other classes?
[04:38] ---
    Sure, but why?
[04:40] ---
    I can't let the Hidden Leaf
    do all the work.
[04:43] ---
    I'll take the blame if
    the classroom is damaged.
[04:45] ---
    I just have to send vibrations, right?
[04:47] ---
    Yes.
[04:54] ---
    One!
[04:57] ---
    Two! Three!
[05:01] ---
    Four!
[05:10] ---
    Hey, that was five!
[05:12] ---
    What're you doing?
[05:14] ---
    Everyone passes?
[05:16] ---
    You've got to be kidding.
[05:19] ---
    What's the sense of having a test
    unless someone's eliminated?!
[05:22] ---
    W-Why you…!
[05:24] ---
    – What a jerk!
    – What's going on?
[05:28] ---
    It's too late now.
[05:29] ---
    If you send four vibrations again,
[05:31] ---
    you'll only add
    to the confusion.
[05:33] ---
    It doesn't matter
    if it's five times.
[05:35] ---
    What?
[05:36] ---
    Three times is fine too.
[05:38] ---
    As long as I get
    the message out, any one will do.
[05:41] ---
    Any one? Three, four, or five…
    They're all the same?
[05:46] ---
    Yes. Well, it's slightly different.
[05:50] ---
    The question I pick will change.
[05:53] ---
    Huh?
[05:59] ---
    I see…
[06:04] ---
    That was a signal of some sort.
[06:06] ---
    It's definitely more efficient
    than yelling something out.
[06:10] ---
    But why five times?
[06:12] ---
    Five times must mean
    the 50-point question.
[06:15] ---
    So what are we supposed to do?
[06:18] ---
    I get it…
[06:20] ---
    To get 100 points using
    a 50-point question,
[06:23] ---
    two members need
    to solve the 50-pointer
[06:25] ---
    and the third member
    needs a zero.
[06:27] ---
    Whoever signaled
    won't solve the 50-pointer.
[06:31] ---
    That's what the message
    is telling us exactly that.
[06:35] ---
    What does that mean?
[06:36] ---
    I'm saying the remaining two
    would have to select
[06:38] ---
    the 50-point or 0-point question,
[06:40] ---
    with no way of knowing
    which to choose.
[06:42] ---
    So he's signaling both teammates
    to both solve the 50-point question.
[06:46] ---
    So whoever signaled
    will get zero points?
[06:50] ---
    Exactly, hoping that each teammate
    will think about the other
[06:54] ---
    and figure it out.
[06:56] ---
    So who sent the message?
[06:59] ---
    I don't know,
[07:01] ---
    but whoever sent it got everyone
    in that classroom to agree.
[07:05] ---
    Otherwise, it would've been impossible.
[07:08] ---
    So, everyone in that classroom
    that signaled will take zero points.
[07:13] ---
    It's because this message
    is signaling
[07:15] ---
    the remaining two members
    to choose the 50-point question.
[07:20] ---
    So that's what it means.
[07:22] ---
    Still, opting to get zero points
    is pretty gutsy.
[07:25] ---
    Even with three times,
[07:26] ---
    my intention
    would have been communicated.
[07:29] ---
    In that case,
    I'd take the 40-pointer.
[07:34] ---
    How can you tell?
[07:36] ---
    If the grouping is 30, 30,
    and 40 for 100 points,
[07:41] ---
    whoever sent the signal
    won't take 30.
[07:44] ---
    Because that'll leave
    the remaining two
[07:46] ---
    to decide between 30 and 40 points,
    and that won't work.
[07:49] ---
    So whoever signals takes
    the 40-pointer,
[07:52] ---
    leaving the 30-pointer
    to his two teammates.
[07:55] ---
    Damn you.
    Why didn't you explain that earlier?
[08:00] ---
    I made it clear, didn't I?
    That I didn't want any interference.
[08:04] ---
    I was concerned that jutsu users
[08:05] ---
    who can communicate silently
    with their teammates
[08:07] ---
    would foil my plan for everyone
    to pass this round.
[08:12] ---
    You can, right?
[08:23] ---
    No one will get in my way.
[08:33] ---
    Well, you're not getting in my way!
[08:39] ---
    NO UNAUTHORIZED FIGHTING
[08:41] ---
    Proctor, are you going
    to allow fighting?!
[08:45] ---
    If you don't reply,
    I'll assume you are.
[08:49] ---
    You want to fight?
[08:50] ---
    Mr. Proctor, give us permission!
[08:55] ---
    I made it clear that Round One
    is a written exam.
[08:57] ---
    Fighting is prohibited!
[08:59] ---
    Stop that racket and answer
    the question before the time's up!
[09:02] ---
    You heard him.
[09:07] ---
    That Neji…
    He even forced a hint out of me.
[09:11] ---
    In that warning you just issued?
[09:13] ---
    Until now, there was a possibility
    that the others would think
[09:19] ---
    I was the one who
    pounded five times.
[09:23] ---
    I warned them to keep quiet just now,
    thus raising the possibility
[09:27] ---
    that it was someone in
    a classroom who made those sounds.
[09:29] ---
    And in truth, it was.
[09:31] ---
    So every team will score 100 points?
[09:34] ---
    No, not necessarily.
[09:54] ---
    If they rationalize it calmly,
    they'd agree with Neji…
[09:59] ---
    But just how calm can they remain?
[10:01] ---
    How much faith they have
    in their teammates
[10:04] ---
    is another problem all together.
[10:06] ---
    What's the answer
    that you prepared?
[10:09] ---
    You're asking me?
[10:10] ---
    If you were one of
    the test takers over there.
[10:13] ---
    I'd use my Shadow Possession Jutsu…
[10:16] ---
    But this question wouldn't exist
    if I weren't the proctor.
[10:21] ---
    That's why there is no point
    in me answering that question.
[10:25] ---
    What are you quibbling about?
[10:28] ---
    Anyway, it all boils down
    to thinking carefully
[10:30] ---
    about your teammates
    and the situation.
[10:33] ---
    Still, there's bound to
    be many who pass.
[10:37] ---
    And that'll make
    the Second Round a pain.
[10:39] ---
    I won't make trouble
    for the Hidden Sand.
[10:42] ---
    There's another part to this exam.
[10:49] ---
    Time's up.
[10:51] ---
    Everyone, flip your sheets over.
[10:57] ---
    Continuing to the second part
    of the exam.
[10:59] ---
    – What?!
    – Huh?!
[11:00] ---
    Question.
[11:01] ---
    Your team is on a mission
    and the enemy spots you.
[11:04] ---
    In order to shake off
    their pursuit,
[11:06] ---
    one teammate must stay behind
    as a decoy.
[11:08] ---
    Who will you choose…
[11:10] ---
    knowing that the decoy
    faces certain death?
[11:14] ---
    Write down your answer on
    that reverse side of your sheet.
[11:17] ---
    In order to pass,
[11:19] ---
    all three members on the team
    must have the same answer.
[11:22] ---
    And the member named as
    the decoy will be considered killed
[11:25] ---
    and eliminated from the Exams.
[11:29] ---
    You have three minutes for this.
[11:33] ---
    Begin!
[11:45] ---
    How does he expect us to choose…?
[11:49] ---
    Sand Letters…
[11:58] ---
    So we'll go with Mijin?
[12:01] ---
    Me?!
[12:07] ---
    Damn it…
[12:12] ---
    MIJIN
[12:16] ---
    In our old Team 7,
    it would have been Naruto.
[12:20] ---
    Because he would probably
    write his own name down.
[12:24] ---
    Sakura! Sasuke!
[12:25] ---
    I'll be the decoy,
    so you two make a run for it.
[12:29] ---
    So my answer is…
[12:31] ---
    NARUTO
[12:32] ---
    NARUTO NARUTO
[12:33] ---
    NARUTO NARUTO
    ME
[12:35] ---
    You idiot!
[12:37] ---
    Shut up!
[12:38] ---
    *And thanks a lot, you two,
    for naming me the decoy?!
[12:41] ---
    NARUTO
    
    What about you writing down "Me"?
[12:43] ---
    NARUTO
    We figured you'd choose yourself,
    so Sakura and I wrote "Naruto."
[12:49] ---
    ME NARUTO
    Like we were supposed
    to know you'd write "Me"!
[12:52] ---
    You're mean, both of you!
[12:54] ---
    Shinobi who don't value
    their comrades are scum!
[12:58] ---
    The answer isn't Naruto.
[13:00] ---
    My teammates now
    are Ino and Choji…
[13:02] ---
    So…
[13:04] ---
    Sakura!
[13:05] ---
    What'll we do?
    I can't choose either of you!
[13:09] ---
    What is Shikamaru thinking?
[13:12] ---
    Ino, please relay this to Choji too.
[13:14] ---
    The answer is…
[13:17] ---
    Huh?! But that's…!
[13:31] ---
    I'll be collecting your papers.
[13:33] ---
    Wait in your classrooms
    until the papers are graded.
[13:36] ---
    Those who passed will be
    called out to the schoolyard.
[13:46] ---
    You rarely visit.
    To what do I owe this pleasure?
[13:49] ---
    There's something you need to know.
[14:02] ---
    You don't need Hidden Leaf proctors
    for the Second Round?
[14:07] ---
    The Hidden Sand would like
    to handle everything ourselves.
[14:10] ---
    And the reason for that?
[14:11] ---
    The site of the Second Round
    is known as the Demon Desert.
[14:14] ---
    It's extremely dangerous even for
    those of us familiar with the terrain.
[14:17] ---
    For the sake of security,
    we ask for your understanding.
[14:21] ---
    For whose security, may I ask?
[14:26] ---
    Naturally, for the participants.
[14:29] ---
    The jonin in charge of the entrants
[14:31] ---
    will accompany them
    to Hidden Sand Village.
[14:33] ---
    That is not open to negotiation.
[14:36] ---
    Yes, that's fine.
[14:45] ---
    What do you think?
[14:46] ---
    Sounds suspicious.
[14:47] ---
    Yes, they are hiding something.
[14:50] ---
    But the Sand are not the only ones.
[14:54] ---
    How have the Hidden Rain responded?
[14:57] ---
    Danzo asked to see us earlier.
[15:02] ---
    Even though he's confined
    under house arrest,
[15:04] ---
    he still has his connections.
[15:10] ---
    You are aware that I helped
    Hanzo of the Salamander,
[15:13] ---
    the leader of the Hidden Rain?
[15:18] ---
    That was when you were
    in charge of the Foundation.
[15:22] ---
    I continued to communicate with him
    secretly even after I was ousted.
[15:28] ---
    Danzo, you didn't…?
[15:31] ---
    But Hanzo abruptly
    stopped contacting me.
[15:35] ---
    If he stopped trusting me,
[15:37] ---
    he would've lured me out
    and killed me
[15:39] ---
    since I know so many secrets.
[15:41] ---
    But he didn't.
[15:43] ---
    Something has happened to Hanzo.
[15:46] ---
    Like what?
[15:53] ---
    I believe there's been
    an incident in Hidden Rain Village.
[15:59] ---
    In the worst case,
    he's no longer in this world…
[16:02] ---
    How can that be?
[16:03] ---
    On the outside, Hanzo is still
    the leader of the Hidden Rain.
[16:07] ---
    Please warn Princess Tsunade
[16:09] ---
    to be extremely wary of the entrants
    sent by the Hidden Rain.
[16:18] ---
    Well, you have been warned.
[16:21] ---
    Danzo of all people asked you this?
[16:24] ---
    He may be called a hardliner
    and the darkness within shinobi…
[16:28] ---
    But there is no doubt
[16:30] ---
    that he operates all for
    the sake of the Hidden Leaf.
[16:35] ---
    The Hidden Rain, eh…
[16:37] ---
    We must increase surveillance.
[16:40] ---
    There's also the Sand to think of.
[16:44] ---
    I will inform the jonin in charge
    of the entrants about this.
[16:47] ---
    Just the jonin of the teams
    who pass the first round?
[16:51] ---
    Yes.
[17:02] ---
    Damn it…
[17:06] ---
    Well…
[17:08] ---
    Those of you here have passed
    the First Round. Congratulations.
[17:13] ---
    Neji, you sent that signal, right?
[17:16] ---
    Thanks to you, we made it.
[17:18] ---
    Truth be told,
    that guy from the Sand did it.
[17:22] ---
    How come all three of you made it?
[17:25] ---
    Didn't the decoy get disqualified?
[17:29] ---
    The rule said all three had
    to have the same answer.
[17:32] ---
    We didn't choose anyone.
[17:34] ---
    What?!
[17:35] ---
    We all turned in a blank sheet.
[17:37] ---
    Blank? All three of you?!
[17:40] ---
    There's no way we'd sacrifice
    a comrade.
[17:44] ---
    Take a look…
[17:45] ---
    at how many teams passed
    with all three members.
[17:54] ---
    I'm sorry I couldn't figure out
    the question.
[17:58] ---
    It's okay!
[17:59] ---
    We coordinated things
    with that in mind.
[18:02] ---
    I know!
[18:02] ---
    I trusted you two and
    didn't write anything.
[18:05] ---
    More like couldn't, right?
[18:07] ---
    You guys!
[18:09] ---
    We passed Round One!
[18:13] ---
    You can transfer thoughts,
    but that backfired on you, eh.
[18:17] ---
    Well…
[18:19] ---
    Thinking about letting a teammate die
    was already the wrong answer.
[18:25] ---
    Why you…
[18:28] ---
    I'm Temari of the Sand.
[18:30] ---
    I'm in charge of Round Two
    of the Exams.
[18:32] ---
    Too many teams passed
    the first round,
[18:34] ---
    so we're going to narrow it down
    some more.
[18:37] ---
    Hey, what do you mean
    "narrow it down"?!
[18:39] ---
    First off, Round Two is also
    a team battle.
[18:42] ---
    Any team without its third member
    will be disqualified!
[18:45] ---
    What?!
[18:46] ---
    Furthermore, Round Two will be held
    in the Village of the Hidden Sand.
[18:51] ---
    We will meet at
    the Demon Desert checkpoint.
[18:53] ---
    Although there is a clear route
[18:55] ---
    between the Hidden Leaf
    and Hidden Sand Villages,
[18:57] ---
    it will take a shinobi three days,
    no matter how fast he or she may be.
[19:06] ---
    A messenger hawk has been sent to
    the Hidden Sand with these instructions.
[19:10] ---
    "After the first 30 arrive,
    all who follow are to be disqualified."
[19:17] ---
    Finally, as in Round One,
    fighting is prohibited en route.
[19:21] ---
    You can fight to your heart's content
    in Round Two.
[19:24] ---
    That is all.
[19:25] ---
    Lee, Tenten…
[19:29] ---
    He's quick to assess a situation,
    after all.
[19:33] ---
    What's wrong?
    You're dismissed!
[19:37] ---
    Ino, Choji!
[19:43] ---
    Oh, I get it!
[19:45] ---
    The elimination race has
    already begun!
[19:50] ---
    Couldn't you at least
    have said, "ready, set, go"?
[19:53] ---
    This is the Chunin Exams.
    Not the Academy.
[19:57] ---
    Huh?
[19:57] ---
    – Hey, Yukata!
    – Get moving!
[20:02] ---
    Maybe next time, we should stick
    to an ordinary scholastic test.
[20:09] ---
    Let's get there first!
[20:12] ---
    There's no advantage
    to being the first to arrive.
[20:22] ---
    Byakugan!
[20:26] ---
    There's one team ahead of us.

[20:50] ---
    Round One of
    the Chunin Exams is over.
[20:54] ---
    The participants are now heading
    towards the Hidden Sand Village.
[20:58] ---
    I see.
[21:02] ---
    Get ready for Round Two.
[22:37] ---
    The people targeting you
    are stepping up their efforts.
    
    
[22:40] ---
    If you casually go out there,
    you'll be playing into their hands!
    
    
[22:42] ---
    I already know.
    
    
[22:45] ---
    But if I quit because of that,
    
    
[22:46] ---
    it would be like declaring that
    I caved in under pressure.
    
    
[22:50] ---
    The Chunin Exams are the beginning
    of everything for me.
    
    
[22:55] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Night Before the Second Exam"
    
    
    
    
[22:59] ---
    I'll show them by making sure
    these Chunin Exams proceed successfully.
