All right.

Thank you.

Hey, you.

Over here.

What's your name?

I'm not obliged to answer.

What's that?

Cute.

So that's a bunch of misfits the Kitashian guy had been going on about.

I 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.

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

All right, don't pull it, Sakura.

Sasuke of the Uchiha clan.

He's pretty bold.

You gonna challenge him?

Hmm.

Dee, what are you waiting for? We're supposed to check in.

I will catch up with you in a minute.

You do not need to wait for me. I just want to check something.

What's that about?

I have no idea.

Hey, you!

With the attitude!

Hold on!

Huh?

What do you want? I want to fight. Right here and right now.

You want

to fight me here and now, huh?

Yes.

My name is Rock Lee.

You said it with common courtesy for a challenger to give his own name first,

right?

Sasuke Uchiha.

So you know me.

I challenge you.

Everyone is always talking about the Uchiha clan and how great they are. I

to see if it is true. I figure you will be a good test for me.

And also... Oh, Sakura.

I love you.

You are an angel sent from heaven.

That was a good move. But let us see you dodge this.

You do not have to be so negative, Sakura.

You want to fight Sasuke?

It's always Sasuke!

You've heard of the Uchiha clan, yet you're challenging me? You must be even

more psycho than you look, if that's possible.

You want to know more about my clan?

Then I'll teach you. The hard way.

Bring it on.

Excellent. A matchup against the number one rookie. I will draw him out and get

him to reveal his technique.

And I will prove myself to you, Gai -sensei.

Hold it!

I get him first.

This weirdo is mine.

Go for it. Naruto!

What? It'll take me two minutes to have this guy begging for mercy. No, thank

you. Right now, the only one I want to fight is Utsukiha.

Yeah? Well, I've got news for you.

Sasuke can't compare to me.

Just accept it. You have no chance against me. Your skills are inferior.

You see, Sasuke?

Out of all the top -leaf genin, I am the best. Fight me and I will prove it to

you.

He stopped my kick.

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

Hmm.

This'll be fun.

Let's do it.

No time, Sasuke.

We've got to register by three o 'clock. That's less than half an hour.

Relax. This'll all be over in five seconds.

Here he comes.

Forgive me, God Sensei. I know it is forbidding, but I may have to break the

rules and use that jutsu.

Leaf Hurricane!

I'm not moving fast enough.

I've got to block him.

What?

Stop, Gabe!

What's going on?

He had his guard up, but Lee went right through it.

He's using some technique to get to me, but what is it?

A ninjutsu or a genjutsu.

As I expect him, he is coming back for more.

Hmm. Okay, this is good.

Got him right where I want him. Now's my chance.

I've been waiting to try this out.

Could it be?

Is it... The Shotting Gun?

When did he learn...

He died!

It's in both of them!

So that is the Sharingan.

You never know what Sasuke will do next!

He's amazing!

If he's like Kakashi -sensei's Sharingan, he'll be able to read this

and nail him!

Genjutsu or ninjutsu, whatever magic he's using.

I'll see it now.

Sasuke's getting stronger every day!

Just what you'd expect from an Uchiha!

Sasuke could never lose to a guy like this!

No way!

He got around my guard.

But how?

What kind of jutsu is that?

You see, my technique is not ninjutsu or genjutsu.

Sasuke!

You get it now?

I am using taijutsu. That means no trick.

Sasuke!

It is just straight martial arts, nothing more.

Why, you... I know your technique.

Forget it. It will not work. Not on me. I know you can see through your

opponent's jutsu that Sharingan gives you the ability to read his chakra and

decipher his hand signs and movements. You can guess what he's going to do

almost before he knows himself.

The problem is, tied you two is a little bit different.

Right. So what's your point?

I do not try to hide or disguise my moves.

I do not have to.

Even if you can read them, you still cannot stop them. You are too slow.

Your eyes may be quick enough to stay one step ahead of me, but if your body

cannot keep up, what good does it do you?

You know what?

Here is what I believe. There are two different kinds of ninja.

Those like you who are born with talent and do not have to work at it.

And those like me, the ones who have to train every day of our lives.

Fact is, your Sharingan is the worst match for my extreme Taijutsu. Here is

I mean.

I have to stop him!

Dancing Leaf Shadow.

Good eye. Now I will prove my point.

That hard work beats out natural talent.

What's his next move?

You're finished.

Dancing Leaf Shadow.

Good eye.

Now I will prove my point.

That hard work beats out natural talent.

What's his next move?

You're finished.

Huh?

This is bad.

All right, that's enough.

Lee?

What? What now?

shaken up. He didn't even take the fall right.

You, you were watching us the whole time?

Of course. That last technique is forbidden. You know that.

He's talking to a turtle and it's talking back.

I am sorry. I did not mean to.

Now he's apologizing to a turtle.

Wait a minute. Could that be his sensei?

I was not planning to use a forbidden jutsu. It is just, I was in the middle

the fight, and I mean, you understand.

I'm right!

It really is a sensei!

Huh?

Hey, you guys!

What, Naruto?

That weird thing he's talking to is a turtle, right?

Obviously, what do you think it is?

Okay then, so maybe it means that turtles can be sensei too.

How would I know if they can be sensei too? You're a disgrace!

You think you'll get away with a bunch of lame excuses like that? A shinobi

never reveals its techniques unless it's absolutely necessary.

It's such a basic rule, you should know it by now.

Forgive me, sir.

How could I lose to that freak?

Are you prepared to take the punishment for your actions?

I... Yes, sir.

All right, then. Please come out. Guy sensei.

Hey, what's taking?

How you doing, everybody?

Life treating you good?

He's got the biggest eyebrows yet. They're almost alive.

Hi, Lee.

So weird.

So that's where Lee gets it from.

Same soup bowl haircut.

And even butcher your eyebrow.

And do not insult Guy Sensei. He is one of the greatest men in the entire world.

Well, excuse me for not noticing his greatness. I was too busy watching him

crawl out from underneath a turtle. He did not crawl out. Give it a rest, Lee.

Hmm? Hmm.

Yes, sir.

Now for your punishment.

Sorry, Lee, but it's for your own good.

Sensei.

Go, Lee.

Oh, Sensei. I am so sorry.

All right. It's over. You don't need to say any more.

Sensei. Lee.

How could I lose to someone that lame?

It's okay.

It's only a phase.

I'm sorry, Sensei.

Huh? Actually, it's kind of sweet the way they're all huggy and stuff.

Huh? You've got to be kidding. They're both totally crazy.

You're just caught in between.

You're too old to be called a boy and not yet quite a man.

You are so good to me.

Go, Sensei.

Now kick off.

I want you to give me a hundred laps around the practice field. Show me what

got. Yes, sir. No problem.

Run into the setting sun.

Run and suffer.

But don't mess up your hair.

Let us go.

Right.

Hey, wait a minute. We're not finished here. You guys can't just take off like

that. And what about the tuning exams? There's no time for fooling around.

Oh, right.

I forgot about that.

Lee, you not only disobeyed the rule against fighting, but you've disrupted

tuning exams.

I think that warrants a slightly more severe punishment, don't you?

Yes, sir.

Let's say 500 laughs. How does that sound?

Outstanding, sir.

They're insane.

Probably, but never mind them. What's the deal with that turtle anyway?

This must be Kakashi's squad.

I'll check them out.

No! He's looking at us!

Tell me, how is Kakashi -sensei? Do you know him?

Do I know Kakashi?

Well,

people say he and I are arch -rivals for all eternity.

There's just no way! How dare you? If Gai -sensei says it is true, then... Let

it slide, Lee.

A ninja's actions always speak louder than words.

Hmm?

My record is 50 wins and 49 losses.

Which is one better than his, by the way.

What?

You're kidding!

How'd he beat Kakashi?

The fact is, I'm stronger than Kakashi.

And faster.

His speed is incredible.

He's definitely faster than Kakashi.

Is he even human?

You see?

Gai -sensei is the best there is.

I'm sorry for the trouble he caused you. Look into my eyes and accept my sincere

apology. Also notice my handsome manly features.

He claims he's better than Kakashi.

Could that be true?

I don't think he's making this up.

Lee, you should accompany these fine young ninjas to the classroom right now.

His hand!

Remember, give it your best. Lee, farewell.

Yes, sir!

Whoa!

Hey, Sasuke.

Actually, I have not been totally honest with you.

I said I wanted to test my skills, and that is true enough, but you are not

really the one I wanted to test them against.

I lied to you when we were fighting before.

I told you I am the best genie in here, but there is another top ninja.

Someone on my own team.

I came here to defeat him.

You were just practice.

Now you are our target.

I will crush you.

There you have it. Consider yourself warned.

Oh, Sasuke.

Meh, how about that?

Looks like the Uchiha's aren't as great as everybody thinks they are.

Naruto!

Shut up.

Next time I'll drive him to his knees.

Yeah, right. Who just got his butt kicked?

Stop it! What are you saying?

Cut it out, Naruto!

You saw his hand, didn't you? When he took off the tape?

I bet old Bushy Brow has been training until he drops.

Day in and day out.

He trains harder than you.

That's all I'm saying.

That's gay.

Fine.

This thing's starting to get interesting.

The tuning exams.

Can't wait to see what's next.

Right!

Let's get started.

Naruto! Sakura!

Yeah!

Never coming down. Breaking through the content.

Never falling down.

My knees feel shaken. Like I was thrown.

Sneaking out the classroom.

By the buckle.

A moral of me turned on.

But I didn't care.

Waiting is wasting.

For people like me.

Don't cry.

Whoa! All these guys are here for the tuning exams?

Kiba, Shino, Hinata, Shikamaru, and Choji?

Poor guys.

It's a shame I've got to make them all look bad. But hey, after I ace the test

and become tuning, and then Hokage, I'll make it up to them by, uh, letting them

boil my ramen or something.

Next time, getting takedown. All nine rookies face off.

I don't want to get cocky, but it's hard not to be when you're the best.
