**[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?
**[19:56] ---**
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?

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!
