[00:09] ---
    C'mon!
[00:17] ---
    Running like a fugitive,
[00:20] ---
    Being chased by something
[00:24] ---
    Inside my heart is pounding
[00:28] ---
    My throat dry like it's withering
[00:32] ---
    For no single one,
[00:36] ---
    To none does belong,
[00:41] ---
    This time is ours, right now...
[00:48] ---
    Unraveling the pain,
[00:49] ---
    Unraveling our hearts,
[00:51] ---
    Unraveling shadows
[00:55] ---
    Stifling our breath,
[00:57] ---
    Reaching for beyond,
[00:59] ---
    Tearing through the dark
[01:03] ---
    In fighting and in love
[01:11] ---
    To the distant light above,
[01:14] ---
    Yes, we are on the way
[01:22] ---
    I wanna rock...
[01:26] ---
    Rockin' my heart
[01:46] ---
    You're an embarrassment
    to our village.
[01:49] ---
    Why do you think we came all
    the way here to Leaf Village?
[01:52] ---
    P-Please listen to me, Gaara.
[01:55] ---
    T-They lashed out first…
[01:58] ---
    Shut up!
[02:02] ---
    I'll kill you.
[02:03] ---
    U-Understood, I was wrong.
[02:07] ---
    I-I'm sorry…
    I'm really sorry.
[02:10] ---
    I'm sorry about that…
[02:14] ---
    This guy…has a nasty look.
[02:18] ---
    To think he was able to hit
    that Kankuro
[02:20] ---
    with a tiny rock with great ease.
[02:23] ---
    This guy's…good.
[02:30] ---
    Let's go.
[02:32] ---
    We didn't come here
    to play around.
[02:34] ---
    I know.
[02:36] ---
    Hold it!
[02:39] ---
    What is it?
[02:40] ---
    Judging from your headbands,
[02:41] ---
    you're Ninjas from the Village
    Hidden in the Sand, right?
[02:46] ---
    Without question, the Land of Fire and
    the Land of Wind are allied nations.
[02:49] ---
    But the arbitrary coming and
    going of Shinobi
[02:51] ---
    is supposed to
    be prohibited by the treaty.
[02:53] ---
    State your purpose!
[02:55] ---
    Depending on circumstances…
[02:56] ---
    Hmph! So this is what they mean
[02:59] ---
    by the darkest place being
    under the candlestick.
[03:00] ---
    Don't you know anything about it?
[03:03] ---
    My permit!
[03:05] ---
    As you say, we're Sand Village Genins
    from the Land of Wind.
[03:11] ---
    We came to this village to
    take the Chunin Exam.
[03:15] ---
    Chunin Exam…?
[03:17] ---
    Identify Yourself:
    Powerful New Rivals
[03:24] ---
    What is the Chunin Exam anyways?
[03:27] ---
    You really don't know
    anything, do you?
[03:30] ---
    Bro, if you pass the exam,
    you can become a Chunin from a Genin!
[03:36] ---
    I see! Then, maybe I'll try taking them!
[03:39] ---
    Heh!
[03:40] ---
    Hey! You there…
[03:43] ---
    What's your name?
[03:45] ---
    Huh? M-Me?
[03:47] ---
    No! The gourd next to you!
[03:52] ---
    I'm Gaara of the desert…
[03:55] ---
    I have an interest in you as well…
[03:58] ---
    What's your name?
[03:59] ---
    Sasuke Uchiha.
[04:08] ---
    Say! Say! What about me?
    What about me?
[04:12] ---
    Not interested.
[04:17] ---
    Heh! Things have gotten interesting.
[04:21] ---
    Konohamaru, do I look weak?
[04:24] ---
    Compared to Sasuke, yes...
[04:29] ---
    Sasuke, I won't lose to you!
[04:31] ---
    What's gotten into you,
    all of a sudden?!
[04:33] ---
    What do you think?
[04:34] ---
    I don't think they're anything special.
[04:37] ---
    But the black-haired one from Leaf Village
    and the gourd from the Sand Village…
[04:40] ---
    those two need to be checked.
[04:44] ---
    Now then, in conjunction
    with beginning the Chunin Exam,
[04:49] ---
    let us first have those in charge
    of the rookie Genin come forward.
[04:55] ---
    Kakashi and Kurenai and Asuma…
[04:59] ---
    So? Are there any Genin from
    your squads
[05:02] ---
    you wish to recommend
    for these exams?
[05:07] ---
    It goes without saying,
[05:09] ---
    but if it's a Genin who has carried out
    eight or more formal missions,
[05:13] ---
    you can recommend them
    for the exams if you wish.
[05:17] ---
    Well, as a general rule,
[05:19] ---
    having carried out more than twice
    that amount of missions is appropriate.
[05:23] ---
    There's no need to hear this…
[05:25] ---
    It's too soon for them.
[05:28] ---
    Then, you first Kakashi.
[05:31] ---
    The Kakashi-led Group Seven...
[05:33] ---
    Sasuke Uchiha. Naruto Uzumaki.
    Sakura Haruno.
[05:38] ---
    I, Kakashi Hatake, recommend these
    three for the Chunin Exam.
[05:45] ---
    Huh?
[05:47] ---
    The Kurenai-led Group Eight...
[05:49] ---
    Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka,
    Shino Aburame.
[05:53] ---
    These three, I, Kurenai Yuhi,
    recommend the same.
[05:58] ---
    The Asuma-led Group Ten...
[06:01] ---
    Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara,
    Choji Akimichi.
[06:06] ---
    These three, I, Asuma Sarutobi,
    recommend the same.
[06:10] ---
    All three recommended…
[06:12] ---
    To think rookies will be
    in the Chunin Exam…
[06:14] ---
    Hasn't it been five years
    since that's happened?
[06:16] ---
    Hmm…
[06:17] ---
    Wait a minute!
[06:19] ---
    What is it, Iruka?
[06:21] ---
    Lord Hokage, please let me
    say one thing.
[06:23] ---
    This may be presumptuous,
[06:25] ---
    but as for the nine names
    that were given,
[06:28] ---
    I was in charge of them at the Academy.
[06:30] ---
    Admittedly, they were all students
    with ability,
[06:33] ---
    but it's too soon…!
[06:35] ---
    They should be tested after
    having gained more experience!
[06:39] ---
    I became a Chunin when I was
    six years younger than Naruto is now.
[06:44] ---
    Naruto is different from you!
[06:47] ---
    Is it your intent to crush Naruto?!
[06:49] ---
    They always do nothing but complain
    about important missions…
[06:53] ---
    Teaching them a lesson
    once would be fun.
[06:56] ---
    Trying to crush them
    would be interesting, too.
[06:58] ---
    W-What did you say?!
[07:00] ---
    Well, joking aside…
[07:04] ---
    Iruka Sensei...
[07:06] ---
    I understand what you want to say.
[07:09] ---
    It's aggravating, I know.
    However…
[07:12] ---
    Kakashi...
[07:13] ---
    Don't do it.
[07:15] ---
    Stay out of this!
    They're not your students anymore!
[07:19] ---
    Now they're my subordinates!
[07:24] ---
    Man…troublesome people.
[07:32] ---
    B-But the Chunin Exam
    is also known as…
[07:35] ---
    Iruka…
[07:37] ---
    I understand your point.
[07:40] ---
    Master Hokage...
[07:42] ---
    Therefore, I have decided to conduct
[07:45] ---
    a special preliminary exam
    for these rookie Genins.
[07:48] ---
    P-Preliminary exam…?!
[08:01] ---
    Say! Say! Say!
[08:02] ---
    Why is it that he's the one who
    always calls us out,
[08:04] ---
    and then makes us wait?!
[08:06] ---
    That's right! That's right!
[08:07] ---
    What's he going to do about
    the feelings of a maiden
[08:09] ---
    who accidentally overslept and resigned
    herself to no blow-drying?!
[08:12] ---
    I overslept, so I haven't washed my face
    and didn't brush my teeth.
[08:17] ---
    Y-You…That's dirty.
[08:21] ---
    Why're these guys so hyper
    first thing in the morning?!
[08:28] ---
    Hey, good morning, folks!
[08:30] ---
    Today, I got a bit lost on the path of life…
[08:33] ---
    Right! That's a lie!!
[08:36] ---
    Uh, well…
[08:38] ---
    This is sudden, but I recommended
    you guys for the Chunin Exam, so…
[08:42] ---
    Here, these are your applications.
[08:45] ---
    Chunin Exam…
[08:47] ---
    That being said, the recommendations
    are not compulsory.
[08:50] ---
    You guys are free to decide whether
    you take the Exam or not.
[08:53] ---
    All right! I love you, Kakashi Sensei!
[08:56] ---
    Hey, cut it out. Get away already…
[08:58] ---
    Only those who want to take the Exam,
    sign that application and
[09:02] ---
    come to Room 301 of the Academy
    at 3:00 p.m. five days from now…
[09:06] ---
    That's it!
[09:10] ---
    Chunin Exam! Chunin Exam!
[09:17] ---
    Chunin Exams, eh…
[09:20] ---
    I bet lots of strong guys would be there…
[09:24] ---
    For example, that guy!
[09:27] ---
    And this guy!
[09:34] ---
    Okaaay! I won't lose to
    anybody no matter what!
[09:40] ---
    If I take the first place, the path to
    the Hokage is right there!
[09:44] ---
    Sure enough, it's decided that Naruto
    will be the Hokage…
[09:48] ---
    I'll just retire my elderly self at once.
[09:51] ---
    Yaaaay!
[09:55] ---
    I might be able to fight him.
[10:06] ---
    I...don't want to…
[10:09] ---
    Here I can't…
[10:10] ---
    keep up with Sasuke,
    and not even with Naruto…
[10:13] ---
    The Chunin Exam, no way…
[10:38] ---
    Oh, Brother Naruto! Let's play!
[10:41] ---
    Sure. I don't have any missions today,
    so I'll play with you guys!
[10:46] ---
    Yaaay!
[10:48] ---
    Oh!
[10:54] ---
    Leader! Konohamaru!
[10:57] ---
    What're you going to do with Moegi?!
[11:00] ---
    Hey, you! Let Moegi go!
[11:05] ---
    Darn!
    Let's follow them, Konohamaru!
[11:08] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[11:09] ---
    W-Wait!
[11:22] ---
    Chunin Exams, eh…
[11:26] ---
    Yo.
[11:27] ---
    S-Sasuke, what's up?
[11:30] ---
    How about we go for a little walk?
[11:32] ---
    No way! For real?!
[11:38] ---
    Well well... So you can keep up
    at this speed, eh?
[11:42] ---
    Wait for me! Moegi!
[11:48] ---
    Bro, where'd you go?
[11:50] ---
    I think we are lost.
[11:53] ---
    Nooo! Let me go!
[11:57] ---
    Even the strongly fortified
    Village Hidden in the Leaf…
[11:59] ---
    is mine if I slip in the
    middle of Chunin Exam's ruckus.
[12:03] ---
    Hmm?
[12:05] ---
    That was fast…
[12:07] ---
    Hey! You fat old man!
[12:09] ---
    What're you going to do with Moegi?
[12:11] ---
    What am I going to do, you ask?
[12:14] ---
    You want to know?
[12:16] ---
    Wha--?!
[12:17] ---
    Don't move!
[12:18] ---
    If you do,
    the brat's dead meat!
[12:20] ---
    Y-You. Why're you doing this?!
[12:24] ---
    I want the first Hokage's
    Scroll of Sealing!
[12:26] ---
    If you bring it to me,
    I'll return the brat!
[12:29] ---
    Scroll of Sealing…
[12:33] ---
    Umm…
[12:35] ---
    Sasuke…
[12:37] ---
    What's up, all of a sudden?
[12:39] ---
    Sakura…
[12:40] ---
    Give up on the Chunin Exam…
    lt's too early for you.
[12:45] ---
    Is it…?
[12:47] ---
    I thought so…
[12:49] ---
    The Chunin Exam is
    a gathering of top dogs…
[12:52] ---
    You might die if you're not careful…
[12:55] ---
    Sasuke…
[12:56] ---
    So you're worried about me, right?
[12:59] ---
    Yeah…kind of…
[13:03] ---
    What a display of affection, eh?
[13:05] ---
    Get lost! If you don't want to die.
[13:07] ---
    Don't talk as if you know everything!
[13:11] ---
    Don't make me angry!
[13:13] ---
    Sasuke!
[13:16] ---
    Don't take me lightly!
[13:22] ---
    Sasuke!
[13:37] ---
    Sasuke?
[13:39] ---
    Sasuke!
[13:40] ---
    Sasuke!!
[13:46] ---
    What're you doing?
[13:47] ---
    Hurry up and bring me
    the Scroll of Sealing!
[13:49] ---
    What'll happen…if I say, heck no?
[13:53] ---
    You don't care what happens
    to this brat?
[13:55] ---
    Heh, I'm fine with whatever happens
    to that bunch of straw, I say.
[14:00] ---
    Wha--?!
    When did he do that?!
[14:04] ---
    I've taken Moegi back from you,
    thank you!
[14:07] ---
    As expected great leader!
    Moegi respects you.
[14:10] ---
    Darn it! The Clone Jutsu, huh…?
[14:13] ---
    You don't know when to give up!
[14:20] ---
    Naruto!
[14:21] ---
    Hey! You're late, Konohamaru!
[14:24] ---
    Konohamaru, I was scared.
[14:26] ---
    Oh, there-there…
[14:29] ---
    Leader, did you catch him?
[14:32] ---
    Yup, as you can see!
[14:34] ---
    Huh? What?!
[14:36] ---
    Oh, it's the Substitution Jutsu!
[14:38] ---
    Dang it! When did he switch?!
[14:41] ---
    I see…
[14:48] ---
    If you don't want to turn out
    like this,
[14:49] ---
    you'll give up on
    the Chunin Exam, too.
[14:52] ---
    Sasuke, don't die…!
[14:55] ---
    Big mistake if you think
    I'd say that.
[14:59] ---
    I was aware of this Genjutsu
    right from the start!
[15:01] ---
    What?!
[15:02] ---
    The real Sasuke wouldn't do
    something like
[15:04] ---
    invite me to go for a walk!
[15:07] ---
    Don't make me say
    such frustrating things!
[15:09] ---
    That kind of elementary Genjutsu
    won't work on me!
[15:14] ---
    Did you say elementary…?
[15:16] ---
    That's right!
[15:16] ---
    Incidentally, I've seen through that
    you're also an illusion
[15:19] ---
    and aren't really here!
[15:23] ---
    I don't know about…
[15:25] ---
    that!
[15:31] ---
    See?
[15:34] ---
    Just what I'd expect of
    Kakashi's subordinate.
[15:36] ---
    However, this will become reality
    in the Chunin Exam!
[15:40] ---
    I wonder if you can endure that…?
[15:42] ---
    I'm not scared!
    I'll take them on anytime!
[15:46] ---
    The Chunin Exam isn't...
    The Chunin Exam isn't…!
[15:51] ---
    I'm still not sure if I can do it…
[16:01] ---
    That was a stupid thing to do…
[16:11] ---
    How was it?
[16:13] ---
    We went to the trouble of having
    a special preliminary exam,
[16:15] ---
    but all nine of the rookies passed.
[16:21] ---
    As you say, it appears their skills
    have definitely improved.
[16:26] ---
    Well, the actual Chunin Exam
    won't just end at this, but...
[16:33] ---
    Hey, have you heard?
[16:35] ---
    Rookies are going to be
    in the Chunin Exam
[16:36] ---
    for the first time in five years.
[16:39] ---
    No way.
[16:40] ---
    It's probably just a Jonin battle of wills
    or something anyway.
[16:44] ---
    No…
[16:45] ---
    The story is that three among them
    are that Kakashi's unit.
[16:49] ---
    That's interesting…
[16:51] ---
    Well, be that as it may…
[16:56] ---
    That's a sad story…
[17:01] ---
    Sakura, you're late!
[17:05] ---
    Yeah…sorry…
[17:14] ---
    Morning, Sasuke.
[17:16] ---
    Yeah…
[17:18] ---
    Something's strange about Sakura.
[17:28] ---
    So, are you sure you're going
    to attempt taking
[17:30] ---
    the Chunin Exam with that skill?
[17:32] ---
    May it'd be best if you runts quit.
[17:35] ---
    You're green-assed brats, after all.
[17:38] ---
    Please let us through.
[17:46] ---
    That's…mean…
[17:48] ---
    What did you say?!
[17:50] ---
    Listen!
    We're being nice to you!
[17:53] ---
    The Chunin Exam is a high hurdle.
[17:56] ---
    Many times have we seen
    people quit Shinobi
[17:58] ---
    as well as people who were
    disabled for life
[18:01] ---
    just because they took this Exam.
[18:04] ---
    Also, a Chunin is at the level
    of a unit leader.
[18:08] ---
    Mission failures,
    death of subordinates,
[18:10] ---
    it's all part of the
    responsibilities of a leader!
[18:13] ---
    A brat such as this a Chunin?
[18:16] ---
    What's so bad about weeding out
    those who won't pass anyway?!
[18:21] ---
    A just argument.
[18:23] ---
    However, you will let me through.
[18:27] ---
    And could you also immediately
    undo this barrier created with Genjutsu?
[18:31] ---
    I have business on the third floor.
[18:34] ---
    What's this guy talking about…?
[18:36] ---
    I don't know…
[18:37] ---
    – Well, well…
    – So you noticed, eh?
[18:42] ---
    How about it, Sakura?
[18:43] ---
    You should've been
    the first one to realize it.
[18:46] ---
    Huh…?
[18:47] ---
    Your analytical strength and
    Genjutsu know-how
[18:49] ---
    has improved the most in our squad, so...
[18:53] ---
    Sasuke…
[18:56] ---
    Thank you…
[18:57] ---
    Of course. I realized it ages ago!
[19:00] ---
    You see, this is the second floor!
[19:03] ---
    Yup!
[19:06] ---
    Well, not bad…
    But all you've done is to catch on.
[19:12] ---
    Right?!
[19:24] ---
    H-He's fast!
[19:25] ---
    This person…
[19:26] ---
    He's a different person from
    when he was getting punched before!
[19:30] ---
    He stopped my kick…
[19:32] ---
    What's with that Chakra in his arm?
[19:35] ---
    Hey, this isn't what you promised.
[19:38] ---
    You were the one who said
[19:39] ---
    you didn't want to carelessly
    attract attention and be watched.
[19:42] ---
    But…
[19:44] ---
    Oh boy… This again…
[19:48] ---
    This guy…
[19:49] ---
    The marks where he was hit
    are disappearing.
[19:52] ---
    Was he faking?

    My name's Rock Lee.
    Your name's Sakura, right…?
[20:01] ---
    Huh?
[20:03] ---
    Please go out with me!
    I'll protect you until I die!
[20:09] ---
    Absolutely…not.
[20:12] ---
    Huh?
[20:15] ---
    You're... too intense.
[20:19] ---
    Hey, you there.
[20:22] ---
    Identify yourself.
[20:25] ---
    Dang it! Again?
[20:26] ---
    It's always about Sasuke!
[20:28] ---
    When asking someone his name,
    give your own name first.
[20:32] ---
    You're... a rookie, right?
    How old are you?
[20:36] ---
    I'm not obliged to answer.
[20:38] ---
    What…?
[20:41] ---
    Cute.
[20:47] ---
    Too intense, huh…
[20:50] ---
    Uninterested, huh…
[20:52] ---
    Now then!
    Sasuke, Naruto, let's go!
[20:57] ---
    So those are Kakashi and
    Guy's treasured brats.
[21:01] ---
    Well, for the time being,
    their applications will pass.
[21:05] ---
    Yeah…
[21:08] ---
    It appears this year's test-takers
    will be amusing…
[21:12] ---
    For us proctors too, eh.
[21:17] ---
    Good grief…
[21:18] ---
    This Chunin Exam…
    is full of monsters.
[23:08] ---
    Bowl-cut, fuzzy eyelashes
    and bushy eyebrows.
[23:11] ---
    Oh! It's you!
[23:12] ---
    You're the overly intense guy
    who just got rejected by Sakura.
[23:14] ---
    What's with your bizarre
    green jumpsuit?
[23:17] ---
    What? You want to challenge me,
    bushy-browed bumpkin?
[23:20] ---
    I'll teach you that it's a million years
    too soon to be doing that.
[23:25] ---
    Next episode:
     "Chunin Challenge: Rock Lee vs. Sasuke!"
[23:29] ---
    As for me,
    I'm going to kick butt once again!
