Oh

hey my god

What was that?

You're an embarrassment to our village.

Have you forgotten the reason we came all the way here?

I know. I mean, they challenged us. They started the whole thing, really.

Here's what happened. Shut up.

Or I'll kill you.

Right. I was totally out of line. I'm sorry, Gaara. I was totally out of line.

I'm sorry for any trouble he caused.

This guy has an evil look in his eye.

He stopped Kankuro with a pebble and made it look easy.

A guy I want to keep an eye on.

Let's go.

We didn't come here to play games.

All right, sure. I get it. Hold on!

Hey! What?

I can tell from your headband.

that you come from the village hidden in the sand.

Of course the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are allies, but no shinobi can

enter another's village without permission.

So state your purpose, and it better be good.

Really? Have you guys all been living under a rock or what?

You don't know what's going on, do you?

We have permission.

Of course, you're correct. We are Hidden Sand Genin. Our home is the Land of the

Wind. And we're here for the tuning exam.

Get the picture?

The tuning exam?

What's that?

Identify yourself!

Powerful new rivals!

Well,

I've never heard of any tuning exams. Believe it. I believe it, all right,

you're totally clueless.

Hey, boss, those are the exams that every genny's got to take in order to

graduate to being a full -on tuning.

Oh, well, why didn't you say so? I am so there!

Hey, you!

Identify yourself!

Hmm? You mean me?

No, him. The guy with the gourd on his back.

Huh?

My name is Gaara, of the desert.

I'm curious about you, too.

Who are you?

I am Sasuke Uchiha.

I bet you're dying to know my name, right?

I couldn't care less.

Hmm. Things are getting interesting.

Hey, Konohamaru! Do I seem uncool or something?

Well, compared to Sasuke, yeah, you're pretty lame. Ah!

You're not gonna show me up, Sasuke!

Back off, loser.

What do you think, Dosu?

The usual weaklings. Nothing special.

But the one from the Achiha clan and that desert rat, we should watch them

carefully.

All right. It is time we chose our candidates for the Chunin examinations.

begin, will those in charge of the Ruki Genin step forward?

Kakashi, Kuranai, and Asuma.

What do you say? Are there any in your squads you'd recommend who are ready for

the exams despite their inexperience?

As you know, any genin who has carried out eight or more missions is

eligible for the examinations. Beyond that, only you can decide when they are

ready. Of course, most genin require a much longer training period, at least

twice that many missions.

There's no need to say all this. It's way too soon for their squads.

So, Kakashi, you begin.

I lead squad seven.

Sasuke Uchiha.

Naruto Uzumaki.

Sakura Haruno, I, Kakashi Hatake, recommend all three of these genin for

Chunin selection exams.

And my squad is number eight, Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka,

Shino Aburame. And now I, Kurunai Yuhi, recommend all three.

And my squad is number ten, Ino Yamanaka, Shigamaru Nara, Choji

Akamichi. And now I, Asuma Sarutobi, recommend all three.

Hold on, just a minute!

Yes, what is it, Iruka?

Lord Hokage, with all respect, the nine names that were just given were all my

students at the academy.

I know their skills and abilities.

Every one of them has great promise, but it's too soon.

They need more experience before they are tested. If they try now, they're

to fail the exam.

When I became a Chunin, I was six years younger than Naruto is now.

Naruto is nothing like you!

Are you trying to destroy him?

Well, they're always complaining about not being challenged enough.

Maybe wiping out on the exams will teach them a lesson.

A little pain is good.

What? What did you say?

Oh, nothing fatal, of course. But seriously, Iruka, relax.

Listen, I understand how you feel. It's very personal for you, and it upsets

you, but... All right, Takashi. Back off. You've said enough.

On the contrary, Koronai. Iruka needs to hear this. He needs to realize that

they're not his students anymore.

They're mine.

Enough already.

But these exams could destroy them, you know that. Iruka, you have made your

point, I understand.

Lord Hokage.

Accordingly, I have decided that the best thing to do is to hold a special

preliminary test.

Pre... preliminary test?

I rushed here so fast I didn't even have time to blow dry my hair!

And I didn't even have enough time to brush my teeth or change my underwear!

You, uh, didn't?

That's really disgusting, Naruto.

First thing in the morning and they're already driving me nuts.

Hey, good morning, everyone.

Sorry I'm late. Afraid I got lost on the path of life.

I know this is a bit sudden, but I recommended you for the tuning exams.

All three of you.

These are the application forms.

Application forms?

You're repeating me, Sakura?

This is all voluntary.

It's up to each of you. If you don't feel ready, you can wait till next year.

All right!

Takashi -sensei, you rock!

Don't slobber on my vest.

Whoever wants to take the exams, sign the application and come to room 301 at

the Academy.

It's at 3 p .m. five days from now.

That's it.

Tune in exams!

Tune in exams!

Hmm. Tune in exams.

I'll be up against a lot of really wicked ninja.

Like the guy with the mummy on his back.

And of course, Mr.

Attitude.

All right!

Who's the grand champion?

That'd be me.

If I come out on top, becoming Hokage will be easy after that.

I have to accept it.

Naruto's better than an old geezer like me, so I'll just retire and let him be

Hokage. Yay!

I hope I get the chance to fight that guy.

This is hopeless.

I can't keep up with Sasuke. I can't even beat Naruto.

I'll never pass these exams.

you with us, please? Sure.

I don't have any dangerous ninja missions today, so no problem.

Excellent.

You need exams.

Hey.

Sasuke! What's up?

Let's take a walk, just you and me.

No way!

You mean it?

Well, well.

He can keep up with me at this speed.

Master's heat.

No! You let me down!

I thought the Hidden League Village had powerful ninja, but now I see you're

nothing. Just a bunch of weaklings.

Hmm?

Well, that was quick.

Hey, you! Yeah, you! The fat old guy! What do you think you're doing with

Moeggy? What am I doing? Is that your question? You really want to know?

If you move, the breath's finished.

Why are you doing this? She's just a kid! Let her go!

I want the first Hokage scroll of feeling! Bring it to me, and I'll let

go. The scroll of... feeling?

Um, Sasuke?

How come all of a sudden you, you know, want to walk with me?

Cause I need to tell you to give up on the tuning exams.

There's no way you can pass them, Sakura.

I was afraid of that.

You're right.

These ninja are very advanced, and they have no mercy. If you try to fight them,

you could lose your life.

But Sasuke!

You're telling me this because you care about me!

I, uh, guess that's true.

Ha ha!

Two sweethearts! How touching!

Get lost, unless you want to die.

Now I'm really mad!

Careful, Sasuke!

No way!

No!

And that like a fool? Hurry up and get the scroll.

Oh, yeah, right.

And what happens if I say no?

Then I guess you don't care what happens to this girl.

What girl?

All I see is two dummies. You and the one next to you made of straw. What?

Where'd she go?

She's right here with the greatest ninja in the world.

Yeah, that's you, boss.

You're my hero.

The clone, you two?

I'll wait, you punk.

You just don't know when you're up.

Did you catch him, boss? Can you see him?

Sure, he's right here. I'll show you what he... Huh?

Hey, he used the substitution jutsu on you!

Copycat! That's what I did to him!

You let him get away, boss!

He's finished!

And that's how you'll end up if you take the tuning exams!

What? Sasuke inviting me out? Then suddenly acting like he's all worried

me? Yeah, like he'd ever.

That was a foolish mistake.

You thought I'd fall for that?

Are you calling me a fool?

I would if you were really here, but you're just an illusion. The real ninja

away like a coward, so you're just the illusion of a coward.

Are you sure I'm not real?

I'm sure.

Just what I'd expect from a kunoichi trained by Kakashi. But the tuning exams

will be more than illusions.

We'll see if you can cut it. You don't scare me.

Illusions or not, bring them on.

The tuning exams.

Big bad tuning exams.

Actually, I'm really worried about them.

So, how did it go?

They all made it. Your squad and the others.

All nine Genin proved themselves ready for the exam.

You were right, Kakashi. They're good.

They've all developed very impressive skills.

But the Chunin exam can break anyone.

We'll see if they can top it out.

Did you hear? We are going to have rookies at the exams.

First year Ganeen. That has not happened in five years.

No way. I bet it's just some Jonin trying to boost their egos.

No, there is more to the story than that. Three of them are from Kakashi's

squad. Huh.

Interesting. But not very.

Either way, it's too bad for them.

You're late.

Uh, right.

Sorry, guys.

Good morning, Sasuke.

Yeah.

What's up with her?

She's different.

What's going on? I don't know.

You're taking the tuning exams, but you can't even get past us.

Why don't you just give up now before you get hurt? Yeah, I think I hear your

mommy calling you.

Please let us through. We're supposed to go in there.

That's harsh.

Did you say harsh?

Don't kid yourself. We're being nice by comparison. The exams are going to make

this look like a picnic.

Some of you won't survive the exams, others will be wrecked for life, and

of you may go crazy.

For tuning, it's always life and death.

You think it's a joke? Tune in or qualify to lead missions.

The lives of your squad members are in your hands, so you better be tough

to take the heat.

Delicate little girls don't belong here.

We're just thinning out the herd. You won't pass anyway, so go home and play

with your dolls.

Real nice speech.

Now both of you step aside and let me through.

And while you're at it, reverse the genjutsu. We can see through your

anyway. We're going to the third floor.

What does he mean? We're on the third floor. I know.

Well, well.

So, you noticed the genjutsu, huh?

Go ahead, tell them, Sakura.

I'm sure you saw it before anyone else did.

Huh? You have the sharpest eyes and the best analytical skills on our squad. You

must have seen this coming a mile away.

I must have?

Sure.

Of course.

Sure, I spotted it right away. This is only the second floor.

Right.

Well, aren't we the smart ones? So you noticed an illusion.

Now let's see you deal with this!

How'd he do that?

I thought he was some weakling getting knocked around like that, but he's as

fast as Sasuke.

He stopped my kick.

That's some chakra he's got in his arm.

Hey, what happened to the plan?

I thought you were the one who said to keep a low profile and don't let anyone

see our skill level. I know, but... Never mind. It's over. Forget it.

Hey, what happened to the bruises he had before?

They're gone.

Were they fakes?

My name is Rock Lee.

You are Sakura, right?

Huh?

Please be my girlfriend.

I vow to protect you with my life.

Definitely not.

Why?

Because you're a weirdo.

Hey you, over here.

What's your name?

It's common courtesy to give your own name before asking someone else's. Hey,

you're a rookie, aren't you?

How old are you, anyway?

I'm not obliged to answer.

What's that?

Cute.

A weirdo?

No one wants to know my name.

Hey, Naruto, Sasuke, come on, let's go.

So that's a bunch of misfits that Kakashi and Guy have been going on

guess they passed their first test, getting their applications through.

Right.

It looks like the exams are going to be fun this year.

Yeah, for us, but maybe not for them.

So this is the big, bad tuning exam, huh?

It's a freak show.

Now before you idealize, put your page around it. Make them all realize I'm in

the mountains.

Never coming down, breaking through the content.

Never falling down.

My knee is too shaken.

Like I was thrown, naked at the classroom.

But I buckled, I'm all right, let me try some.

But I didn't care, quitting it.

For people like me Don't cry

because you will hate yourself in the end.

Don't try to look so white. Don't cry because you're so white.

Don't cry because you're so white.

Not you and Sasuke. What's wrong, weirdo, you chicken?

Next time, Chunin Challenge.

Rock Lee versus Sasuke. I don't care how good he's supposed to be. I still say

he's a freak.
