[00:09] ---
    C'mon!
[00:16] ---
    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] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[01:46] ---
    I'm Ibiki Morino, proctor for
    the first test of the Chunin Exam.
[01:58] ---
    You, from Hidden Sound Village!
[02:00] ---
    No doing as you please
    before the Exam!
[02:04] ---
    You want to be failed
    at the get go?!
[02:08] ---
    Sorry. It's our first time taking the Exams,
    so we flipped out... despite ourselves.
[02:14] ---
    Hmph. This is a good opportunity,
     so I'll say this.
[02:19] ---
    There will be no battles,
    competitions and the like
[02:20] ---
    without the permission
    of the proctors!
[02:23] ---
    And even if you get permission,
[02:24] ---
    actions that could lead to the death
    of an opponent will not be permitted.
[02:29] ---
    Any pig that screws with me
    will be disqualified immediately.
[02:33] ---
    Got it?!
[02:37] ---
    This Exam looks to be easy!
[02:44] ---
    Now then, we will start
    the first test of the Chunin Exam!
[02:48] ---
    Turn in your applications,
[02:50] ---
    take one of these number cards
    in exchange,
[02:52] ---
    and sit in the seat
    matching that number!
[02:56] ---
    After that, we will hand out
    the paper for the written test!
[02:59] ---
    Written...? Paper...?
[03:02] ---
    Paper...
[03:07] ---
    A paper test?!
[03:10] ---
    Start Your Engines:
    The Chunin Exam Begins!
[03:28] ---
    Everyone's seats are all scattered...
    What should I do?
[03:35] ---
    He's deflated, deflated...
[03:37] ---
    It's the worst type of test for Naruto...
[03:41] ---
    Naruto...
[03:44] ---
    Oh! You are Hinata...!
    Since when have you...?
[03:50] ---
    L-Let's both do our best.
[03:53] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[03:56] ---
    I didn't notice her at all.
[03:58] ---
    Hinata has no presence at all...
[04:02] ---
    There are several important
    rules to this first test.
[04:09] ---
    I will take no questions,
    so listen well accordingly!
[04:14] ---
    Rules? No questions will be taken...?
[04:17] ---
    First off is the first rule!
[04:20] ---
    You are given ten points
    each from the start!
[04:25] ---
    The written test has
    ten problems in all!
[04:27] ---
    Each problem is one point.
[04:29] ---
    And, this test is a
    point deduction system.
[04:33] ---
    You are deducted one point for
    each problem you get wrong!
[04:36] ---
    If you get three wrong,
    you'll have seven points!
[04:40] ---
    If I get ten wrong,
    I'll have zero points...
[04:44] ---
    The second rule.
[04:45] ---
    Pass or failure will be determined
[04:47] ---
    by the total points of
    the three-person teams.
[04:55] ---
    W-Wait a minute!
[04:57] ---
    What do you mean...
    total points of the teams?
[05:00] ---
    Shut up!
[05:01] ---
    There's a perfectly
    good reason for this!
[05:03] ---
    Shut up and listen!
[05:05] ---
    Reason...?
[05:06] ---
    If you've got it,
    here is the most important next rule!
[05:09] ---
    Those who are deemed by
    the sentinels
[05:11] ---
    as having committed an act of
    cheating or something similar to that...
[05:16] ---
    will have two points deducted
     for each act.
[05:22] ---
    What...?
[05:23] ---
    Oh!
[05:24] ---
    In other words...
[05:25] ---
    there may be those who will be
    dismissed during this test
[05:28] ---
    without waiting for test grading.
[05:35] ---
    This means they're deducting points
[05:36] ---
    from things other
    than the written test problems.
[05:39] ---
    Know that those who
    commit awkward cheating...
[05:42] ---
    will bring ruin upon yourselves.
[05:45] ---
    I'll check you anytime.
[05:49] ---
    If you aspire to become
    a Chunin at all,
[05:51] ---
    know that Shinobi should act
    like exemplary Shinobi.
[05:56] ---
    Relax...! Yes... yes!
[06:00] ---
    Naruto aside,
    Sasuke and I are okay!
[06:03] ---
    Even if Naruto gets zero points...
    if we cover that...
[06:08] ---
    And, in the case of even one person
    on the team getting zero points...
[06:12] ---
    Everyone on that team will fail!
[06:16] ---
    Wha--?!
[06:16] ---
    What did he say...?!
[06:20] ---
    I feel two menacing stares...
[06:23] ---
    Naruto?
[06:25] ---
    By the way, the last problem will
    be given forty-five minutes
[06:29] ---
    after the start of the test!
[06:31] ---
    The time for the test is one hour.
[06:37] ---
    Begin!
[06:47] ---
    Could it...
[06:48] ---
    Could it be that,
    the fat is really on the fire now...?
[06:50] ---
    Naruto...!
    Just don't get zero points!
[06:56] ---
    Naruto isn't getting jitters
    from the get go, is he...?
[07:01] ---
    This is bad...
[07:07] ---
    As if!
[07:08] ---
    I know I've cleared many obstacles
    like this before...
[07:12] ---
    At times like this, one should
    look at all the problems
[07:15] ---
    without feeling pressed
    or making a fuss!
[07:16] ---
    And then with utmost effort
[07:18] ---
    I should tackle the problems that look
    easy to understand!
[07:21] ---
    Let's see, the first problem...
    is a code text, eh...
[07:25] ---
    Excellent, I say!
[07:30] ---
    Next! Next!
[07:31] ---
    Let's see... the second problem...
[07:33] ---
    The parabola B in the diagram illustrates
    the greatest possible distance
[07:37] ---
    Enemy Ninja A can throw his Shuriken
    from a tree seven meters high...
[07:43] ---
    Predict and answer the Enemy Ninja's
    character inferred
[07:46] ---
    from the ellipse this Shuriken forms,
[07:49] ---
    also answer the longest firing range
    in battle on flat ground
[07:52] ---
    and explain your basis.
[07:56] ---
    T-This is an... integrated problem based
    on predictions
[08:00] ---
    of uncertain conditions and
    dynamic energy analysis application...!
[08:05] ---
    There's no way
    Naruto can solve this!
[08:08] ---
    I mean...
[08:09] ---
    hardly anyone except me
    can solve this problem!
[08:16] ---
    Okay, next! Next!
[08:22] ---
    These other problems...
    are nothing but difficult ones.
[08:34] ---
    I see...
[08:36] ---
    I don't... understand even
    one of these problems.
[08:43] ---
    Oh, no, this is bad!
[08:45] ---
    For real! For real!
[08:47] ---
    What should I do?
    What should I do? What should I do?
[08:59] ---
    If about ten of all fifty-one teams
    are able to pass,
[09:04] ---
    it will be bad if I didn't stretch myself and
    get a considerable amount of points.
[09:08] ---
    It's like a system inviting cheating...
[09:12] ---
    I hope Sasuke and Naruto
    won't panic and cheat.
[09:17] ---
    It's okay...
    Naruto's not that much of an idiot...
[09:21] ---
    I know that...
[09:26] ---
    Don't panic...
[09:27] ---
    For now, all there is to do is to be
    very, very cautious...
[09:30] ---
    and cheat without being found out!
[09:38] ---
    No! No! I can't, that's no good,
    no good!
[09:40] ---
    I can't tread on such thin ice!
[09:44] ---
    At any rate, this elaborate fuss...
[09:46] ---
    It's like a trick assuming
    that we're going to cheat.
[09:51] ---
    They probably check with that paper...
[09:57] ---
    Somebody got nailed.
[09:59] ---
    Cheating deducts two points.
[10:03] ---
    Two-point deduction, huh...
[10:07] ---
    Ordinarily, it'd be failure the moment
    the cheating was discovered...
[10:18] ---
    Know that those who
    commit awkward cheating
[10:21] ---
    will bring ruin upon themselves.
[10:24] ---
    Shinobi should act like exemplary Shinobi.
[10:29] ---
    I see, so that's how it is, eh.
[10:32] ---
    This wasn't just an achievement test!
[10:35] ---
    The real aim was...
[10:38] ---
    a test to see the ability
    for intensive information collection
[10:40] ---
    with the full use of deception
    and concealment techniques.
[10:47] ---
    "Shinobi should read
     the double bluff," eh...
[10:50] ---
    In other words, the true intention
    of the proctor is...
[10:52] ---
    if you're going to cheat,
    not "awkward cheating,"
[10:56] ---
    but "like exemplary Shinobi",
    don't get caught.
[11:01] ---
    Viewed in this light, the extraordinariness
    of the point deduction system,
[11:04] ---
    the lenience of only deducting two points
    for each discovery of cheating makes sense.
[11:11] ---
    In other words,
[11:12] ---
    what's being tested here is how
    we can gather the correct answers
[11:15] ---
    without having our cheating detected
    by the proctors or
[11:19] ---
    by the one being cheated on.
[11:23] ---
    Realize it quick, Naruto!
[11:25] ---
    It'll turn into a fatal mistake!
[11:27] ---
    Realize it!
[11:35] ---
    This is bad. Believe it...
[11:40] ---
    If the purpose of this test is seeing
    the ability to gather information...
[11:47] ---
    then there should be someone
    in this classroom somewhere...
[11:51] ---
    who knows the answers
    to the problems!
[11:59] ---
    So Gaara has also started, eh...
[12:02] ---
    Hmph... I'm counting on you, Crow.
[12:18] ---
    Yahoo, good boy, Akamaru!
    Next is problem four!
[12:35] ---
    Judging from this rhythm...
[12:36] ---
    The stroke order...
    and the number of strokes...
[12:41] ---
    I see.
[12:59] ---
    Okay! Please tell me.
[13:06] ---
    Eight, huh.
[13:18] ---
    Lee, if you can see it,
    wear your headband!
[13:41] ---
    Time is rapidly going by!
[13:44] ---
    Oh, man! I'm afraid all there
    is to do is cheat...
[13:48] ---
    But, if I'm discovered,
[13:50] ---
    it'll be trouble for Sakura
    and Sasuke.
[13:54] ---
    On the other hand,
    if I get zero points...
[13:56] ---
    Sakura and Sasuke will be
    my companions in failure.
[14:00] ---
    Naruto...
[14:03] ---
    I'll show you... my test.
[14:08] ---
    Huh...?
[14:10] ---
    What is Hinata saying...?
[14:13] ---
    W-Why would she do
    such a thing for me?
[14:17] ---
    Could it be... some kind of trickery?
[14:24] ---
    But Hinata is not one to do
    something like that...
[14:28] ---
    No... But she might've been coaxed into
    attempting to trap me by Kiba and others...
[14:33] ---
    Hinata, let me ask you one thing!
[14:36] ---
    Huh?!
[14:37] ---
    Why would you show me?
[14:43] ---
    Uh... uh... actually...
[14:48] ---
    I...I...
[14:55] ---
    I don't want you, Naruto...
    to leave at this stage...
[15:05] ---
    Y-You see...
    the nine of us are the only rookies...
[15:09] ---
    and I have many anxieties about
    what's to come, so!
[15:14] ---
    I get it now! I was kind of
    strangely suspicious of you!
[15:22] ---
    Anyhow! This is crazy lucky, I say!
[15:26] ---
    Thank goodness I'm next to Hinata...
[15:39] ---
    W-What was that?
    I was about to turn...
[15:47] ---
    W-What was that for, sir?!
[15:49] ---
    You made five mistakes. You fail!
[15:53] ---
    N-No way...
[15:55] ---
    His two buddies, both of you get out
    of the classroom, right now.
[16:12] ---
    ♪ 23 fails!
[16:14] ---
    ♪ 43 and ♪27 fail!
[16:17] ---
    Noooo!
[16:20] ---
    Hey, hey! Do you have proof that
    I cheated five whole times?!
[16:26] ---
    Really, are you guys properly checking
    this number of people...?
[16:33] ---
    Listen up...
[16:34] ---
    Even among us Chunin, we're elite
    who were selected for this Exam.
[16:41] ---
    We don't overlook you blinking once...
[16:44] ---
    In a matter of speaking,
    this strength is the proof.
[16:53] ---
    Naruto...?
[16:56] ---
    Hurry... Look...
[17:17] ---
    Hinata... You don't get it, do you?
[17:21] ---
    What...?
[17:23] ---
    An awesome ninja like me
    won't cheat. Believe it!
[17:28] ---
    N-Naruto.
[17:30] ---
    B-But...
[17:36] ---
    Also, if something went wrong,
[17:38] ---
    you'd be in a hot spot for
    helping me cheat, right?!
[17:42] ---
    \What?!
[17:43] ---
    Naruto...
[17:48] ---
    I'm... sorry...
    I-I did something uncalled for...
[17:53] ---
    Nah, it's okay.
[17:57] ---
    I...went and acted big.
[18:00] ---
    What should I do?
    I'm extremely stupid.
[18:09] ---
    Byakugan!
[18:13] ---
    Sharingan!
[18:15] ---
    I'll copy all his movements!
[18:19] ---
    My hand is moving fluently...
[18:22] ---
    I hit the jackpot straight away
    with this guy.
[18:27] ---
    Sakura, it looks like you're done, eh.
[18:30] ---
    I'm acknowledging that your smarts
[18:32] ---
    and the width of your forehead
    are exceptional.
[18:36] ---
    So you should thank me.
[18:38] ---
    Thank me for getting to be
    the target for this Jutsu.
[18:41] ---
    Ninja Art, Mind Transfer Jutsu!
[18:51] ---
    So Ino... started using that Jutsu...
[18:55] ---
    There's no countering that spell of Ino's...
[19:02] ---
    Sakura, I let myself move
    into your mind for just a little bit.
[19:08] ---
    I have to memorize the answers quick.
[19:11] ---
    I've got to pass these answers
    to Shikamaru and Choji.
[19:14] ---
    ♪ 59! Fails!
[19:17] ---
    ♪ 33! ♪9!
[19:20] ---
    This is the thirteenth group to fail.
[19:24] ---
    ♪ 41 fails.
[19:26] ---
    ♪ 35, ♪62 fails!
[19:29] ---
    No way!
[19:33] ---
    That brat...
[19:35] ---
    He coolly proceeds through this
    ruckus without moving an eyelash.
[19:41] ---
    Very well done considering he's new.
[19:56] ---
    The optic nerves are connected...
[19:59] ---
    The third eye... open!
[20:17] ---
    Ugh! There's dirt in my eye...
[20:20] ---
    Dang it...!
[20:38] ---
    Excuse me.
[20:39] ---
    What is it?
[20:40] ---
    I need to go to the bathroom...
[20:44] ---
    We will accompany you
    to the bathroom.
[20:47] ---
    I see...
[20:55] ---
    Anyhow... the proctors are
    nothing so special!
[21:00] ---
    They don't realize that the proctors
    have increased by one...
[21:04] ---
    Eh, don't you think so...
[21:07] ---
    Crow...?
[21:13] ---
    Forty minutes have passed
    since the test started...
[21:16] ---
    Twenty minutes left... huh...
[21:19] ---
    Since it's come to this,
[21:21] ---
    it's the last problem to be given
    forty-five minutes after the start of the test.
[21:27] ---
    All there is to do is bet on this.
    Believe it!
[23:05] ---
    Even if I take it, I'm a Genin for life
    once I get it wrong?!
[23:07] ---
    Really? Really? Really?
[23:09] ---
    If I don't take it, I'll fail with
    my comrades immediately?
[23:11] ---
    No way, no way, no way.
[23:12] ---
    The hopeless rule for problem ten!
[23:14] ---
    Not good, not good, not good.
[23:16] ---
    No way can I choose which one!
[23:18] ---
    What to do, do, do, do.
[23:20] ---
    This is seriously, seriously bad!
[23:23] ---
    Bad, bad, bad, bad.
