[00:08] ---
    Here we are, here we are,
    here we are!
[00:09] ---
    “The Golden Time”!
[00:12] ---
    Starting tonight, “NARUTO” will be airing
    every Wednesday, from 7:27 at night!
[00:19] ---
    – Leader… Leader…
    – For those who always watch "Naruto,"
[00:21] ---
    and also for those who are watching
    for the first time, please enjoy!
[00:26] ---
    Now, the new opening theme song,
[00:29] ---
    ”HARUKA KANATA (Far Beyond)”
    is about to start!
[00:31] ---
    Listen here! Leader!
[00:32] ---
    W-What is it Konohamaru?
    I was just getting into it…
[00:39] ---
    It’s only 7 o’clock.
[00:41] ---
    What?
[00:41] ---
    You’re 27 minutes early.
[00:44] ---
    This is actually the time slot for
    “The Prince of Tennis.”
[00:47] ---
    W-What?!
[00:48] ---
    W-W-What are we going to do?
[00:50] ---
    – I already did the greeting!
    – It’s not my problem…
[00:53] ---
    I don’t care any more!
     I’m going to start “NARUTO”!
[01:00] ---
    Hey, Sakura, Sasuke.
[01:02] ---
    Naruto went ahead and
    started the program.
[01:05] ---
    Are you ready?
[01:06] ---
    No, no! I’m still in the middle
    of my facial!
[01:10] ---
    What about the VTR for the main show?
[01:12] ---
    It hasn’t arrived here.
[01:14] ---
    I guess it can’t be helped.
[01:15] ---
    I’ll have to do some dancing…
[01:17] ---
    Nah! I mean I’m going to
    get the VTR.
[01:21] ---
    In the meantime,
    you guys will have to fill up the time.
[01:23] ---
    What?!
[01:23] ---
    I’m depending on you.
    This is your mission.
[01:26] ---
    Huh, a mission… all right!
[01:30] ---
    All right, we’ll do it!
[01:33] ---
    Hey, Naruto!
[01:34] ---
    This is all your fault for being so careless!
    You have to learn your lesson!
[01:41] ---
    Ouchh….
[01:43] ---
    Go Go!
[01:51] ---
    Press down hard on the gas
[01:54] ---
    That’s right, there’s no compromise
[01:58] ---
    We'll slip through the night
[02:02] ---
    At the final moment push hard
[02:05] ---
    That's right, all the way to zero,
[02:09] ---
    Until we wipe away the days
[02:14] ---
    Gently open your heart
[02:20] ---
    If you pull it close to you
[02:25] ---
    It will reach you, without a doubt
[02:28] ---
    It will come, closer
[02:30] ---
    Now
[02:40] ---
    We’re speeding through life,
    squeezing it for all of its worth
[02:46] ---
    Our feet are tied
[02:47] ---
    But we still keep going farther
[02:51] ---
    Even if I take it back, and grasp it
[02:57] ---
    If you’re not the one
[02:58] ---
    There will be no meaning
[02:59] ---
    And so we’ll go far off into the distance.
[03:30] ---
    W-What?
    Where is this place?!
[03:32] ---
    Restricted Area
    Do Not Enter
[03:41] ---
    This is the site of the second exam,
    the 44th Training Field...
[03:48] ---
    Also known as... the Forest of Death.
[03:54] ---
    Forest of... Death?
[04:02] ---
    Huh?
[04:06] ---
    Is that supposed to be... a rock?
[04:09] ---
    Moreover, on top of the grass?
[04:36] ---
    Hey, Konohamaru!
    What is it that you want?!
[04:41] ---
    Just what I expect from the man I respect!
[04:44] ---
    Good job on figuring it out!
[04:56] ---
    Hey! Too much gunpowder used!
[05:04] ---
    With an adult sexiness!
[05:06] ---
    I’m Moegi of the senior class
    at Kunoichi preschool!
[05:09] ---
    I love factoring! Udon!
[05:12] ---
    The most brilliant Ninja in the village!
    Konohamaru!
[05:16] ---
    The three of us together are
    the Konohamaru Gang!
[05:19] ---
    Here we are!
[05:21] ---
    What’s going on you guys?
[05:24] ---
    Hey, I’m about to take the
    second exam for the Chunin Exam.
[05:29] ---
    I have no time to be playing
    around with you guys!
[05:33] ---
    We didn’t come to play around!
[05:36] ---
    That’s right!
    We came here for an interview!
[05:39] ---
    That’s right…
[05:42] ---
    Interview?
[05:42] ---
    Yeah, we were put in charge to write
    the feature article for the “Chunin Exam,”
[05:47] ---
    for the academy’s class newspaper.
[05:51] ---
    So that’s why we came to
    interview you, leader…
[05:55] ---
    Please cooperate with us.
[05:58] ---
    Please.
[06:00] ---
    But...
[06:02] ---
    Hey, over there!
[06:04] ---
    What are you doing?!
[06:07] ---
    Konohamaru here is asking about
    an interview for the class newspaper…
[06:12] ---
    Oh, I forgot that Lord Hokage was
    mentioning something like that.
[06:18] ---
    Hey, hey…
[06:20] ---
    All right, take a 10-minute break
    starting now!
[06:24] ---
    For those who will be interviewed,
    resign yourselves and be courteous.
[06:29] ---
    Hey, hey… What’s this all about?
[06:31] ---
    Big brother Naruto!
    I’m depending on you.
[06:34] ---
    All right!
[06:35] ---
    In that case, I'll just show you
    how attractive I am!
[06:40] ---
    Special Report:
    Live from the Forest of Death!
[06:46] ---
    Chapter of Character Introduction
[06:54] ---
    Please introduce yourself.
[06:57] ---
    Okay!
[07:00] ---
    My name is Naruto Uzumaki!
[07:03] ---
    A Ninja from Village Hidden
    in the Leaves!
[07:05] ---
    My hobby is to play pranks,
    and I love ramen noodles,
[07:08] ---
    I’ve just become a Genin but…
[07:10] ---
    My dream is big, to become a Hokage!
[07:14] ---
    And I’m going to surpass all
    the Hokage from the past,
[07:17] ---
    and make everybody in the town
    acknowledge my existence.
[07:22] ---
    I’ve been called a failure and such,
    but I graduated splendidly and,
[07:29] ---
    as a member of Group Seven
    led by Kakashi Sensei,
[07:32] ---
    I am dealing with
    difficult missions every day!
[07:36] ---
    Distance from the target?
[07:39] ---
    5 meters.
[07:40] ---
    I’m ready anytime.
[07:43] ---
    In Group Seven, there is also
    Sasuke and Sakura.
[07:47] ---
    Since I’m really the only one that shows
    great success,
[07:49] ---
    you don’t worry about the other two.
[07:51] ---
    I got you!
[07:52] ---
    Don’t say such things.
    lntroduce them properly!
[07:55] ---
    Is the target correct?
[07:56] ---
    I know, I know.
[07:58] ---
    The target confirmed.
[08:01] ---
    For example, this guy’s name is
    Sasuke Uchiha
[08:04] ---
    and he’s a pretentious guy.
[08:06] ---
    I heard that he’s one of the last
    remaining of the famous Uchiha clan,
[08:10] ---
    but he really is a pitiful guy, like this…
[08:20] ---
    Oh, this was when I transform but...
[08:23] ---
    as long as you understand the greatness
    of my Ninja skills that’s all that matters.
[08:30] ---
    Oh, and this is Sakura Haruno
    who is in love with me.
[08:35] ---
    You know, the more she denies it,
    the more I’m convinced it’s true.
[08:37] ---
    She hardly tells me how
    she really feels about me but,
[08:39] ---
    her shyness makes her even cuter!
[08:44] ---
    Is that true?
[08:46] ---
    It really is true, true.
[08:49] ---
    Who’s in love with Naruto?!
    Cha!
[08:54] ---
    It was a lie after all!
[08:58] ---
    I’m sorry…
[08:59] ---
    Well, putting that aside,
    three of us formed a team
[09:03] ---
    and got through a bunch
    of dangerous missions together.
[09:12] ---
    Hey you…
[09:13] ---
    What?
[09:14] ---
    Oh, Missus!
[09:16] ---
    I’ve gotten rid of all the weeds!
[09:19] ---
    What? What's wrong?
[09:21] ---
    Those…those aren’t weeds…
[09:25] ---
    Huh?
[09:26] ---
    Those are herbs I grew in my garden!
[09:31] ---
    Ouch, ouch, ouch!
[09:40] ---
    Somebody! Help…!
[09:43] ---
    No!
[09:44] ---
    Free Fall!
[09:51] ---
    You idiot.
[09:53] ---
    Trap Field
    Do Not Enter
     Don't go over there!
[09:58] ---
    Hey! Please stop!
[10:03] ---
    That fool…
[10:04] ---
    Geez... All because he
    stubbornly chose that big dog.
[10:08] ---
    This is a dangerous mission?
[10:11] ---
    It only looks like you're being clumsy, Naruto.
[10:15] ---
    Yikes !
[10:21] ---
    Well, there were times like that too.
[10:26] ---
    Do it over.
[10:29] ---
    Transform!
[10:33] ---
    Oh, this was when I defeated
    the Old Man Hokage.
[10:40] ---
    This isn’t going to make a good article.
[10:43] ---
    Fine, then you show me how to do it.
[10:46] ---
    Fine! My name is Konohamaru…
[10:49] ---
    The grandson of the
    town’s chief Hokage.
[10:52] ---
    Grandfather is the most important figure
    in the Leaf Village
[10:55] ---
    and is the third Hokage.
[11:03] ---
    Those who succeed the Hokage name
    is the top Ninja of the village.
[11:07] ---
    Especially the 4th Hokage is a great hero
    who protected the village
[11:10] ---
    from the demon fox!
[11:12] ---
    Hey, hey, hey wait!
[11:15] ---
    You’re only talking about other people!
[11:20] ---
    I was just about to start on myself!
[11:23] ---
    Besides, Bro, you talk too much
    about yourself!
[11:25] ---
    Of course, I am the star of the article,
    other people don’t matter!
[11:31] ---
    You’re right, Naruto…
[11:33] ---
    Of course, you’re going to forget
    about me
[11:35] ---
    when you graduate from the academy.
[11:38] ---
    But you can introduce me for a bit…
[11:42] ---
    Oh, yes, yes…
[11:44] ---
    He is the first person in the town
    who acknowledged me, Iruka Sensei…
[11:49] ---
    He’s a really nice person,
[11:51] ---
    he always treats me to
    ramen noodles at Ichiraku.
[11:54] ---
    Am I just a nice person because
    I treat you to ramen noodles?
[11:57] ---
    Oh no…well…that’s…
[12:00] ---
    Don’t laugh it off!
[12:02] ---
    Big brother, next up,
    I’m depending on you!
[12:05] ---
    Oh, you’re right!
[12:07] ---
    Then, I guess I could talk
    about Sasuke’s stories of failures…
[12:11] ---
    I’ve already heard that one.
    Get more serious!
[12:16] ---
    That Naruto…!
[12:18] ---
    I bet he's just making up
    stuff as he pleases…
[12:22] ---
    Humph!
[12:23] ---
    Who cares…
[12:28] ---
    This is good-looking Kakashi.
[12:30] ---
    How is the situation over there?
[12:31] ---
    This is cute Sakura.
[12:33] ---
    Naruto is somehow managing
    to fill up the time.
[12:36] ---
    More importantly, how is it over there?
[12:38] ---
    Are we going to make it in time?
[12:39] ---
    We’ll be able to deliver by the
    end of the commercial break, I think.
[12:42] ---
    Oh and don’t forget to tell
    the viewers about the present.
[12:48] ---
    Roger that.
[12:51] ---
    Kakashi Sensei…
    Kakashi Sensei, please respond.
[12:57] ---
    I wonder what happened?
[12:59] ---
    He said that he’d be back by
    the time the commercial ended.
[13:02] ---
    It can’t be helped.
    Sakura, you have to continue.
[13:05] ---
    What, me?!
[13:07] ---
    Sakura do your best!
[13:09] ---
    Why are you there?!
[13:12] ---
    Well, it can’t be helped,
    I guess I’ll have to do it.
[13:17] ---
    Chapter of Ninja Art
[13:24] ---
    Well, now we’ll have Sakura Haruno,
[13:26] ---
    who is my senior as a Kunoichi,
    teach us about Ninja Art.
[13:31] ---
    Yes, I am the beautiful Kunoichi,
    Sakura Haruno.
[13:35] ---
    Beautiful?
[13:36] ---
    What, you have any complaints?
[13:38] ---
    Oh, no…
[13:40] ---
    Transform!
[13:41] ---
    Well first, Naruto’s Ninjutsu...
[13:46] ---
    Sexy Jutsu,
[13:51] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[13:54] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu.
[13:59] ---
    Transform!
[14:01] ---
    - Transform!
    - Transform!
[14:02] ---
    - Transform!
    - Transform!
[14:12] ---
    Harem Jutsu…
[14:16] ---
    I call it, “Harem Jutsu”!
[14:19] ---
    And something like this.
[14:20] ---
    Hey!
[14:22] ---
    It’s his fault that he’s late!
[14:34] ---
    Dropping the blackboard eraser…
[14:37] ---
    Next is the number one rookie, Sasuke,
[14:40] ---
    who graduated as
    the top student at the academy.
[15:10] ---
    You won’t get me by attacking
    straight on.
[15:13] ---
    The most popular one in class, he can
    also fight Kakashi Sensei as an equal.
[15:19] ---
    Sasuke is awesome!
[15:31] ---
    Your Sasuke introduction
    is taking too long.
[15:34] ---
    Naruto, you're so noisy.
[15:36] ---
    Stay quiet.
[15:38] ---
    Horse!
[15:39] ---
    Tiger!
[15:41] ---
    Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!
[15:44] ---
    What?!
[15:45] ---
    That’s not a Jutsu Genin can use…
[15:48] ---
    He couldn’t have enough Chakra!
[16:04] ---
    Demon Wind Shuriken
    Windmill of Shadows.
[16:09] ---
    Shuriken won’t work on me.
[16:20] ---
    I’ll do it.
[16:23] ---
    C-Could that be…?
[16:26] ---
    Sharingan!
[16:27] ---
    Is that, the Sharingan…?
[16:35] ---
    If this is the same Kekkei Genkai
    as Kakashi Sensei’s…
[16:39] ---
    he can read Bushy-Brow’s Jutsu!
[16:42] ---
    Genjutsu or Ninjutsu…
    it’s some kind of magic either way.
[16:47] ---
    I’ll reveal that!
[17:00] ---
    Although you have seen Sasuke
    using powerful Jutsu like
[17:04] ---
    Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu,
    Demon Wind Shuriken,
[17:07] ---
    Windmill Shadow, and Sharingan,
[17:11] ---
    the greatest of all is...
[17:20] ---
    the sharp look of his eyes!
[17:23] ---
    Any girl who has been stared
    at with those eyes,
[17:25] ---
    will fall in love with him!
[17:28] ---
    Sasuke! Look this way!
[17:33] ---
    You’re... annoying.
[17:36] ---
    Well, that cold behavior is also
    another attractive quality of Sasuke…
[17:44] ---
    Next is our teacher,
    Kakashi Hatake Sensei,
[17:49] ---
    also known as
    the Copy Ninja Kakashi.
[17:52] ---
    He uses the Sharingan in his eye
    to assess the enemy’s technique
[17:56] ---
    and copy over
    a thousand Jutsu techniques.
[18:07] ---
    But he’s always late to meet people,
    and whenever he has any time
[18:11] ---
    he always reads this questionable book
    called Make-Out Paradise,
[18:14] ---
    and he always looks like he
    doesn’t really care about things…
[18:16] ---
    Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu:
[18:22] ---
    A Thousand Years of Death!
[18:27] ---
    And the biggest mystery of all
    is his face hidden under that mask!
[18:32] ---
    I wonder what he really looks like…
[18:42] ---
    Ninja Art, Summoning,
    Earth Style: Fanged Pursuit Jutsu!
[19:02] ---
    If you can’t use your eyes or ears,
    simply use your nose.
[19:07] ---
    That’s what happens when
    you’re closing your eyes in the midst of fog.
[19:11] ---
    This is the Summoning Jutsu
    specialized for pursuit.
[19:16] ---
    On top of all that, why does he
    have the Sharingan in his left eye
[19:20] ---
    that is only passed on in the Uchiha clan?
[19:23] ---
    One mystery after another when
    it comes to this person,
[19:25] ---
    so many things that I don’t understand…
[19:27] ---
    I should ask him next time
    I have the chance.
[19:34] ---
    Lightning Blade!
[19:37] ---
    What the…?!
[19:38] ---
    His hand is…
    visibly overflowing with Chakra!
[19:44] ---
    You are too dangerous.
[19:49] ---
    Water Prison Jutsu.
[19:51] ---
    Oh no!
[19:55] ---
    Secret Jutsu.
[20:06] ---
    Crystal Ice Mirrors!
[20:08] ---
    Next up are the Ninjutsu of
    the other Ninjas besides us.
[20:11] ---
    There’s such a diverse collection of
    Ninjutsu that I have no time to explain all…
[20:18] ---
    Chapter of Rivals
[20:24] ---
    Please, Sasuke,
    whom I feel is like my future self,
[20:27] ---
    take care of the next part.
[20:31] ---
    Sure. After all, I have be the one
    to do something about it.
[20:35] ---
    I knew that from the beginning.
[20:40] ---
    Don’t try so hard to look cool.
[20:43] ---
    Sasuke, the snob.
[20:45] ---
    Don’t interfere.
[20:47] ---
    Stay out of it, loser.
[20:49] ---
    Annoying.
[20:50] ---
    Shut up!
[20:52] ---
    I hate the fact that only you stand out.
[20:56] ---
    Nobody strong around you
    shows any interest in you.
[21:02] ---
    What the…?!
[21:04] ---
    Just watch this.
[21:06] ---
    Hey!
[21:07] ---
    You there…
    What’s your name?
[21:11] ---
    I’m Gaara of the desert.
    I have an interest in you as well…
[21:17] ---
    What’s your name?
[21:18] ---
    Sasuke Uchiha.
[21:21] ---
    Hey, you there.
    ldentify yourself.
[21:26] ---
    Dang it!
    Again? It's always about Sasuke!
[21:29] ---
    When asking someone his name,
    give your own name first.
[21:35] ---
    You, with the unpleasant look.
[21:37] ---
    Wait a minute!
[21:44] ---
    Why don’t you fight with me here now?
[21:47] ---
    I AM going to take out the Bushy-Brow.
    Believe it!
[21:50] ---
    The one I want to fight isn’t you…
    lt’s Uchiha.
[21:55] ---
    Everybody says Sasuke, Sasuke!
    lt's annoying!
[21:57] ---
    It’s true!
[21:58] ---
    Nobody thinks that you’re
    the main character leader!
[22:01] ---
    That’s not true, they’re all just blind!
[22:05] ---
    Huh… As usual you’re just about
    the talk and not the walk.
[22:09] ---
    That’s not true!
[22:11] ---
    Leaf Whirlwind!
[22:14] ---
    See, you are just about the talk.
[22:17] ---
    Uhh… even Sakura is picking on me.
[22:20] ---
    The students who gathered for
    this Chunin Exam are all skilled,
[22:24] ---
    and are the cream of the crop…
[22:28] ---
    Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi,
    lno Yamanaka,
[22:34] ---
    Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka & Akamaru,
    and Shino Aburame…
[22:40] ---
    You won’t never be able to win
    with the way you have been fighting.
[22:44] ---
    You must understand that, right?
[22:46] ---
    Y-Yeah! Of course!
[22:49] ---
    You, too. Be careful not to let
    your guard down
[22:51] ---
    so you won’t be defeated
    by some lame guy!
[22:53] ---
    Huh! Of course!
[23:00] ---
    That’s right…
[23:01] ---
    We passed the first stage
    of the Chunin Exam and
[23:05] ---
    are heading to the location
    of the second stage…
[23:08] ---
    No matter what kind of adversity
    may lie ahead,
[23:11] ---
    we will not be afraid!
[23:14] ---
    And we will pass the exam
    to become a Chunin!
[23:19] ---
    Because we... we...
[23:23] ---
    have the greatest teamwork
    that was formed by a strong bond!
[23:27] ---
    Okay! Let's go!
[23:37] ---
    Thank you so much for cooperating
    with the interview!
[23:41] ---
    – Thank you… – Leader!
[23:43] ---
    Do your best!
[23:45] ---
    Yeah leave it to me!
[23:47] ---
    – Bye! – See you!
[23:49] ---
    – Do your best!
    – Good luck!
[23:54] ---
    Oh guys… I’m sorry I’m late.
[23:57] ---
    A cute girl started talking to
    me on the way, and I danced for a bit.
[24:00] ---
    And that’s a lie!
[24:03] ---
    Well, don’t say that…
[24:05] ---
    I did bring the VTR like I said.
[24:08] ---
    You have to praise me.
[24:09] ---
    Yes, Kakashi Sensei you’re great!
[24:10] ---
    Now we can see the rest of the show!
[24:12] ---
    Everybody look forward to it!
[24:14] ---
    Oh, before that the commercial break…
[24:20] ---
    Hey, can you hear it?
[24:25] ---
    The clear, blue sky goes on and on
[24:34] ---
    The ocean spans limitlessly
[24:43] ---
    Please keep that smile on your face forever
[24:52] ---
    Or else I’ll cry
[24:58] ---
    You won't have to search around you
[25:01] ---
    It’s all ok now.
[25:06] ---
    Everyone is inside
    this hand
[25:14] ---
    when you want to cry, and you want to run away
[25:19] ---
    When you forget what happiness is
[25:24] ---
    Just sing.
[25:28] ---
    Light is born, and darkness was born
[25:33] ---
    The two are one
[25:35] ---
    Harmonia, feel the telepathy
[25:42] ---
    Hey, can you hear it?
[25:53] ---
    The 44th Training Field,
    also known as the Forest of Death.
[25:56] ---
    From here on it’s a serious battle
    between the Ninjas,
[25:59] ---
    anything could happen!
[26:01] ---
    It’s going down in earnest now!
[26:04] ---
    This is getting interesting!
[26:07] ---
    A life-risking survival game in the forest!
[26:09] ---
    I will survive without fail!
[26:11] ---
    Next time: “The Chunin Exam Stage 2:
    The Forest of Death!”
[26:15] ---
    As for me, I’m going to kick butt again!
[26:18] ---
