[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,
[00:40] ---
    This time is ours, right now...
[00:47] ---
    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
[01:45] ---
    Hey, you there.
[01:48] ---
    Identify yourself.
[01:49] ---
    I'm not obliged to answer…
[01:51] ---
    What…?!
[01:54] ---
    Cute…
[02:00] ---
    So those are Kakashi and
    Guy's treasured brats…
[02:04] ---
    Well, for the time being,
    their applications will pass.
[02:08] ---
    Yeah...
[02:10] ---
    It appears this year's
    test-takers will be amusing.
[02:14] ---
    For us proctors too, eh…
[02:17] ---
    Now then!
    Sasuke, Naruto, let's go!
[02:21] ---
    Don't pull.
[02:29] ---
    Sasuke… Sasuke Uchiha, eh.
[02:37] ---
    Does that kid concern you?
[02:40] ---
    Hmph…
[02:47] ---
    Lee, let's go.
[02:48] ---
    What're you doing?
[02:50] ---
    You guys go on ahead.
    I have something I want to check out.
[02:57] ---
    What's that about?
[02:59] ---
    Why should I know?
[03:06] ---
    You, with the unpleasant look.
    Wait a minute!
[03:11] ---
    Huh?
[03:17] ---
    – Oh! – Yikes!
[03:20] ---
    What is it?
[03:22] ---
    Why don't you fight with me
    here now?
[03:25] ---
    Chunin Challenge:
    Rock Lee vs. Sasuke!
[03:32] ---
    A fight here now…?
[03:35] ---
    Yes.
[03:43] ---
    My name's Rock Lee.
[03:46] ---
    When asking a person their name,
[03:48] ---
    I'm supposed to give
    my own name first, right?
[03:50] ---
    Sasuke Uchiha…
[03:52] ---
    Hmph… So you knew?
[03:57] ---
    I want to fight with you!
[04:00] ---
    I want to test out how effective
    my techniques will be
[04:04] ---
    against the descendant of the
    clan reputed for genius Ninjas.
[04:08] ---
    Also…
[04:14] ---
    Sakura. Love.
[04:17] ---
    Noooo!
    Those lower eyelashes are awful!
[04:23] ---
    The hairstyle is awful, too!
[04:24] ---
    Those bushy eyebrows,
    just too intense!
[04:27] ---
    Everything is...!
[04:29] ---
    You're an angel!
[04:33] ---
    Noooooo!
[04:38] ---
    You are good at it.
    Then, how about...?
[04:59] ---
    Really... That was super close.
[05:01] ---
    You! Don't throw strange stuff!
[05:04] ---
    I was dodging for my life!
[05:08] ---
    You don't have to resent me that much.
[05:11] ---
    It's Sasuke again!
    Darn it! Darn it!
[05:14] ---
    To be honest, you're a naive one,
[05:17] ---
    knowing the name of Uchiha
    and challenging me.
[05:22] ---
    Do you want to realize
    what this name is , Bushy-Brow?
[05:28] ---
    I insist.
[05:30] ---
    I'm lucky...
[05:31] ---
    to be able to have a bout with
    the number one rookie right away.
[05:36] ---
    And, I'll prove it to you, Guy Sensei!
[05:40] ---
    Wait!
[05:50] ---
    I AM going to take out
    the Bushy-Brow. Believe it!
[05:54] ---
    Hey, you…!
[05:56] ---
    Big deal.
[05:57] ---
    I'll be able to take care of him
    in just five minutes!
[05:59] ---
    The one I want to fight isn't you…
    lt's Uchiha.
[06:05] ---
    All these people…
[06:07] ---
    keep saying Sasuke, Sasuke.
    How annoying!
[06:23] ---
    Darn it!
[06:26] ---
    Leaf Whirlwind!
[06:34] ---
    As I thought, he's strong…
[06:39] ---
    I declare. You are absolutely
    no match for me.
[06:43] ---
    Because…
[06:46] ---
    among the Leaf Village Genin,
    I'm the strongest now.
[06:57] ---
    He stopped my kick…
[06:59] ---
    What's with that Chakra in his arm…?
[07:04] ---
    Interesting. I'll do it.
[07:10] ---
    Oh…
[07:13] ---
    Stop! Sasuke!
[07:15] ---
    There's less than thirty minutes
    until the 3:00 registration.
[07:20] ---
    Don't worry.
[07:23] ---
    It'll be over in five minutes.
[07:26] ---
    Here he comes!
[07:27] ---
    I'm sorry, Guy Sensei.
[07:30] ---
    I may end up breaking the taboo.
[07:32] ---
    I may end up using…
    that technique!
[07:38] ---
    Leaf Hurricanes!
[07:43] ---
    I can't get completely out
    of the way…
[07:44] ---
    Guard!
[07:47] ---
    What…?!
[07:49] ---
    Sasuke!
[07:59] ---
    W-What's going on?
[08:02] ---
    But…he did guard himself
    just now, no mistake.
[08:07] ---
    He got around my guard.
[08:10] ---
    What is it?
[08:11] ---
    Is it Ninjutsu…?
    Or is it Genjutsu…?!
[08:14] ---
    As I thought, he's going to get up!
[08:17] ---
    Hmph… That's okay.
[08:20] ---
    If that's the case,
[08:21] ---
    this is a good opportunity
    to get used to THAT.
[08:24] ---
    I'll do it.
[08:32] ---
    Huh?! C-Could that be…?
[08:37] ---
    Sharingan!
[08:38] ---
    Sasuke, when has he...
    Why is that in his eyes…
[08:44] ---
    And in both eyes…!
[08:46] ---
    Is that the Sharingan?
[08:56] ---
    Sasuke's awesome, after all!
[08:59] ---
    If this is the same Kekkei Genkai
    as Kakashi Sensei's…
[09:03] ---
    he can read Bushy-Brow's Jutsu!
[09:05] ---
    Genjutsu or Ninjutsu…
[09:07] ---
    It's some kind of magic either way…
    I'll reveal that!
[09:15] ---
    It feels like Sasuke's rapidly
    getting stronger.
[09:21] ---
    That's to be expected
    of the Uchiha clan.
[09:26] ---
    That's right…
    Sasuke should not lose to a guy like this.
[09:35] ---
    Huh?!
[09:36] ---
    The Sharingan…!
[09:38] ---
    To not be able to discern the Jutsu
    with the Sharingan…
[09:41] ---
    Could it be…that his technique is…!
[09:45] ---
    That's right…
[09:46] ---
    My technique is neither
    Ninjutsu nor Genjutsu.
[09:54] ---
    S-Sasuke!
[10:02] ---
    That's right!
[10:04] ---
    My technique is
    mere Taijutsu…Sasuke.
[10:11] ---
    You may not be able to
    believe it just like that, but…
[10:13] ---
    Punk!
[10:17] ---
    It's said that the Sharingan has
    the ability to spot
[10:20] ---
    all Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu.
[10:25] ---
    Make no mistake,
[10:27] ---
    the Sharingan reads Ninjutsu
    and Genjutsu that
[10:29] ---
    require the principle of building up
    Chakra and weaving Signs,
[10:32] ---
    and can most surely handle such Jutsu.
[10:35] ---
    However, only Taijutsu is
    a little bit different…
[10:38] ---
    W-What do you mean?!
[10:41] ---
    Even if you can spot my movements
    with the Sharingan,
[10:44] ---
    your body is not equipped with
    the speed to respond to my Taijutsu.
[10:50] ---
    In other words, even if you understand
    with your eyes,
[10:53] ---
    there's nothing you can do if your
    body can't keep up.
[10:58] ---
    Do you know?
[10:59] ---
    There are two types of strong people,
    genius-types and effort-types.
[11:04] ---
    If your Sharingan is
    a genius-type drawing Uchiha ability…
[11:08] ---
    I'm an effort-type who has
    patiently mastered only Taijutsu.
[11:14] ---
    In a manner of speaking,
[11:15] ---
    your Sharingan and my ultimate
    Taijutsu have the worst compatibility…
[11:20] ---
    Guard!
[11:33] ---
    Huh?! Dancing Leaf Shadow…!
[11:35] ---
    And I shall prove it with this technique.
[11:40] ---
    Prove that effort exceeds the genius.
[11:43] ---
    W-What's he going to do…?!
[11:46] ---
    It's my victory!
[11:56] ---
    Huh?! Dancing Leaf Shadow!
[11:58] ---
    And I shall prove it with this technique.
[12:03] ---
    Prove that effort exceeds the genius.
[12:06] ---
    W-What's he going to do…?!
[12:09] ---
    It's my victory!
[12:12] ---
    Huh?!
[12:16] ---
    – Huh? – Huh?!
[12:17] ---
    That's…!
[12:19] ---
    That's as far as it goes! Lee!
[12:27] ---
    W-What is it…?
    What's going on?
[12:30] ---
    Sasuke!
[12:40] ---
    Sasuke was beaten?!
[12:42] ---
    What happened while
    I was knocked out?!
[12:49] ---
    Are you okay?! Sasuke.
[12:52] ---
    He's agitated…
    To think he couldn't fall properly.
[12:59] ---
    Y-You were watching…?
[13:01] ---
    Lee! That technique just now
    is prohibited, you know!
[13:06] ---
    W-What's with that turtle…?
[13:09] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
    I didn't mean to…
[13:14] ---
    He's…getting scolded or something…
[13:17] ---
    Could that be…Bushy-Brow's teacher?!
[13:27] ---
    B-But, of course,
[13:29] ---
    I didn't even remotely have
    a mind to use the Hidden technique…
[13:34] ---
    There's no mistake!
[13:37] ---
    – Huh? – Huh?
[13:38] ---
    Hey-hey.
[13:40] ---
    What…?
[13:42] ---
    That thing… It's a turtle, right…?
    Right?
[13:45] ---
    Isn't it obvious?!
[13:47] ---
    Say! Say! Can even a turtle
    become a Ninja teacher?
[13:51] ---
    I don't know!
[13:53] ---
    Fool!
[13:55] ---
    You think such subterfuge will work?!
[13:59] ---
    You should know very well what
    it means
[14:01] ---
    for a Shinobi to give away
    his technique!
[14:06] ---
    I…I know.
[14:10] ---
    To think I lost to someone so flippant…
[14:18] ---
    Have you prepared yourself?
[14:20] ---
    Y-Yes sir…
[14:23] ---
    All right, if you will, Guy Sensei!
[14:29] ---
    Man! Life treating you good, huh?
[14:33] ---
    Huh?!
[14:36] ---
    Whoaaa! An even more
    intense guy has appeared!
[14:41] ---
    Yo, Lee!
[14:44] ---
    Super intense.
    The extreme bowl cut...
[14:47] ---
    T-Those are some incredibly
    raging brows…
[14:50] ---
    I've never seen anything like that
    in my life.
[14:54] ---
    H-Hey! You guys!
    Don't mock Guy Sensei!
[14:58] ---
    Shut up!
[15:01] ---
    I'm at a loss for a reaction because
[15:02] ---
    of those bizarre things appearing
    one after another!
[15:04] ---
    What?!
[15:05] ---
    Hey, Lee! Drop it!
[15:09] ---
    Yes, sir…
[15:14] ---
    Idiot!
[15:28] ---
    Lee, you…you…
[15:31] ---
    S-Sensei…!
[15:34] ---
    L-Lee…
[15:37] ---
    Sensei…I…I…
[15:41] ---
    Enough, Lee!
    Don't say anything!
[15:45] ---
    Sensei!
[15:47] ---
    Lee!
[15:53] ---
    I lost to a guy like that…
[15:55] ---
    Yes…this is adolescence!
[15:58] ---
    Sensei!
[16:03] ---
    That sort of tone's kind of nice, too.
[16:07] ---
    I-Idiot! That's dangerous!
    Very dangerous!
[16:11] ---
    It's okay, Lee!
[16:13] ---
    Mistakes come with adolescence.
    Don't worry about it!
[16:17] ---
    You're so kind…Sensei!
[16:20] ---
    Now then, take a hundred laps around
    the Training Field toward that setting sun!
[16:25] ---
    Yes! Sensei!
[16:40] ---
    Let's go!
[16:41] ---
    Yes, sir!
[16:43] ---
    Hey, wait a minute.
[16:45] ---
    We're still in the middle
    of the conversation!
[16:47] ---
    What're you going to do
    about the Chunin Exam?!
[16:49] ---
    There's no time!
[16:51] ---
    Huh? Oh, that's right…
[16:56] ---
    Lee, you will be punished for attempting
    to break the prohibition on top of fighting…
[17:01] ---
    in principle, after
    the Chunin Exam.
[17:05] ---
    Okay!
[17:06] ---
    Five hundred howls of adolescence!
[17:09] ---
    Yes, sir!
[17:14] ---
    Idiots…
[17:15] ---
    Say! Say!
[17:16] ---
    By the way, what's with that turtle?
[17:20] ---
    If I'm not mistaken, those kids are…
[17:22] ---
    Kakashi's…
[17:25] ---
    Oh! No, he's looking this way!
[17:28] ---
    You guys…how's Kakashi Sensei?
[17:31] ---
    You know Kakashi…?
[17:33] ---
    I know him all too well.
[17:37] ---
    People call us…
    eternal rivals.
[17:43] ---
    Sounds like a lie!
[17:44] ---
    What're you saying?!
    Guy Sensei really is…
[17:47] ---
    That's fine.
[17:49] ---
    "Action speaks louder than words"
    anyway.
[17:56] ---
    Huh?!
[17:59] ---
    By the way, my record is fifty wins
    and forty-nine losses.
[18:03] ---
    Huh?!
[18:04] ---
    This guy…
[18:06] ---
    When did he...?
[18:08] ---
    One thing, I'm stronger than Kakashi…
[18:14] ---
    N-No way…
[18:16] ---
    He's fast! He's faster than Kakashi!
    ls he human…?!
[18:21] ---
    How about that?!
    Guy Sensei is awesome, isn't he?!
[18:24] ---
    Darn it…
[18:26] ---
    This time around,
    Lee caused the trouble.
[18:28] ---
    Out of consideration for my face,
    forgive him.
[18:31] ---
    Out of consideration for
    this pleasant face.
[18:34] ---
    He's better than that Kakashi…?
[18:37] ---
    Darn it! He's…
[18:41] ---
    not just all talk…
[18:43] ---
    You guys and Lee should probably go
    to the classroom pretty soon.
[18:56] ---
    He...!
[19:01] ---
    Then, do your best, Lee!
    Farewell!
[19:04] ---
    Yes, sir.
[19:05] ---
    What?!
[19:09] ---
    Sasuke…
[19:11] ---
    I have one last thing to tell you.
[19:14] ---
    I actually came here to
    verify my own ability.
[19:22] ---
    I lied before.
[19:24] ---
    The strongest man of the
    Leaf Village Genin might be on my team.
[19:34] ---
    I'm entering in order
    to defeat that person.
[19:38] ---
    And, you are one of my targets.
[19:42] ---
    Please prepare yourself for the Exam!
[19:55] ---
    Sasuke…
[19:58] ---
    Ha! So…
[20:00] ---
    I guess Uchiha clan's not all that, huh?
[20:03] ---
    Naruto!
[20:06] ---
    Shut up!
[20:08] ---
    I'll knock him flat next time!
[20:11] ---
    Ha! That from someone
    who just got whipped.
[20:13] ---
    Hey…what's your problem?!
    Naruto, you!
[20:21] ---
    You saw it, didn't you? His hand…
[20:29] ---
    That Bushy-Brow probably did a heck
    of a lot of special training.
[20:32] ---
    Day after day…
[20:35] ---
    More than you have…
[20:39] ---
    That's all it is.
[20:47] ---
    Sasuke…
[20:59] ---
    Interesting…
[21:02] ---
    Hmph!
[21:04] ---
    It's starting to get interesting…
    the Chunin Exam!
[21:09] ---
    What's next?
[21:13] ---
    Yeah!
[21:14] ---
    All right!
[21:17] ---
    Let's go, Naruto! Sakura!
[21:21] ---
    Yeah!
[23:04] ---
    Whoaaaa!
    There are tons of people here!
[23:07] ---
    Are they all here to take
    the Chunin Exam?
[23:09] ---
    Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba,
    Shino, Hinata and Rock Lee?
[23:13] ---
    So you're all here, too?
[23:14] ---
    Yeah, I'm pumped, pumped, pumped!
[23:17] ---
    Open up your eyes and watch me
    become the Hokage!
[23:22] ---
    Next episode:
    "Genin Takedown!
     All Nine Rookies Face Off!"
[23:25] ---
    As for me,
    I'm going to kick butt once again!
