Thank

you.

All of you showed a lot of determination on this exam.

It wasn't an easy one.

Just one more thing.

I congratulate you on passing.

That's right. You've all passed.

The first stage of your tuning exam is done.

And now...

I pray you succeed on the next part of the test.

Yeah, believe it, believe it, I passed!

Yeah, yeah, woo -woo -woo!

Yahoo!

He's an interesting one, all right.

Incredible to think that someone would just pass in a completely blank test

paper. Yes, that Naruto Uzumaki sure is an interesting kid.

The tuning exam stage two, the forest of death.

This whole place just completely creeps me out.

It should. They call it the forest of death.

And soon enough, you're going to find out why.

They call it the forest of death.

And soon enough, you're going to find out why.

Do your worst. You're not going to scare me away.

I can handle anything.

So, looks like we've got ourselves a tough guy.

You tough enough to handle this?

You're not afraid, are you?

Tough guys like you usually leave their blood all over this forest.

I was just returning your knife.

Why, thank you, Grath Ninja.

You know, I really only recommend you stand this close behind me if

you wish to reach a premature end.

My pardon.

With the sight of blood in your blade slicing through my hair, I'm afraid that

just became a little excited.

I meant you no harm.

Not at all.

Likewise.

I thought this forest was creepy, but these guys are even creepier.

Hey, I wonder if I could do that with my tongue.

Seems like everyone here today is quick -tempered. There must be something in

the air.

This is gonna be fun.

Quick -temper?

Sheesh! You're the one who threw the kunai at me!

Now before we begin this test, I have something to hand out to you all.

Just the standard consent form.

Before the test...

All of you are going to have to read over this form and then sign it.

What for?

Some of you may not come back from this test, and I have to get your consent to

that risk.

Otherwise, it would be my responsibility.

Now, I'll explain what you'll be doing on this test.

Here, pass these out.

The first thing you need to know is that this test will tax every one of your

survival skills.

Survival. What a drag.

First,

I'll give you all a description of the terrain on the practice field.

The 44th Battle Training Zone has 44 locked entrance gates. There are rivers

a forest inside. In the center is a locked tower located 10 kilometers from

gate.

It's in this confined area that you'll undergo the survival test.

The test consists of... An anything -goes

battle to get your hands on these scrolls. Both of them?

Yes.

You'll be fighting to get both a heaven scroll and an earth scroll.

All together, 26 teams will be taking part in this test.

So half of those teams will be going after the Heaven Scroll, and the other

will be trying to get the Earth Scroll.

I'll hand over one kind of scroll to each team, and that's what you'll be

for.

Okay. So how do we pass the test?

Your entire squad must bring both a Heaven and Earth Scroll to the tower.

That means that the very best half of us will fail. More if not every team is

able to get both the scrolls. No one ever said it would be easy.

Oh, and one more thing.

The test has a time limit. You must finish it within five days.

Five days, out there? What are we supposed to do for food?

Just look around.

The forest is full of things to eat. There's plenty to feed all of you.

Yeah, but that's not all the forest has plenty of.

There are man -eating beasts and poisonous plants in there.

Oh, man!

Quiet down.

This is why they call it survival, you know.

That means, with these circumstances, there's no way half the teams will pass

the test.

With the days getting longer, the nights are getting shorter. So we will have

less time to sleep and less time to recover.

It is a challenge indeed.

Completely surrounded by enemies.

There won't be time to rest. We'll have to keep a constant watch.

Right. This test also measures endurance behind enemy lines.

This is designed to be a grueling test, and I'm sure some of you won't be up to

the challenge.

So, um, let's say mid -exam. Can we quit?

Of course not. In the middle of a battle, you can't say, sorry, I quit.

Well, I guess you could, but it's probably going to get you killed.

Oh, just great.

This is gonna be a drag.

There are also some ways you can get disqualified.

The first is simple.

If all three members of a team can't make it to the tower with both scrolls

after five days.

Number two, if a team loses a member or if a member becomes incapacitated and

cannot continue.

But most important, none of you, absolutely none of you may look at the

of the scrolls until you've reached the tower.

What if it just happens to flap open and you read it?

Let me put it to you this way, young man.

You don't want to know.

There are times when a ninja will be asked to carry secret documents.

The scroll rule is to test your integrity.

Okay, we're done.

Each team take your consent forms and exchange them over there for your

After that, each team pick a gate and you'll be let inside.

Oh,

and I have one more word of advice.

Just don't die!

I see how it is. We won't know which team has which scroll, and we won't know

which of the team members is carrying the scroll.

Stealing information is really a matter of life and death.

It's just like Ibuki said.

Everyone is equally determined to pass, and all of them are my enemies.

Looks like they're starting to understand what's really involved in the

Well, well, well, if it isn't a little future failure.

What's up, billboard brow?

I thought you would have washed out of the program by now. Your big forehead

alone should have gotten you tossed.

So sad.

You're jealous that I'm spending five days with Sasuke.

And it's clearly turning you into someone very petty and ugly.

You and I both know you're too weak to pass this test.

Yeah, right. You're the one who's going down.

I'm glad they didn't turn on us. Why are they like that to each other? Who

cares? Like, I have time to worry about that stuff.

Huh?

What are you doing all the way out here?

Oh, not at all.

I... I just... nothing.

That's Hinata.

Weird as always.

We're gonna start handing out scrolls.

I wonder if any of them will survive this.

All the teams have received their scrolls, so everybody go to your gate

there. When the gates open, the test is on!

Yahoo! We rock at survival!

There's no way we can lose!

Hinata, you better be strong for this!

The test might cost us our lives. What a drag.

But since we have to do it, let's just go after Naruto first.

Burrito? Check.

Potato chips?

Check. Strawberry layer cake?

Good.

Believe it! I dare you to bring it on, ninja!

I'll just send it right back!

Twice as hard!

The time has come to carry out our orders in the open.

Not only do I have to deal with a punk on the other team, I'll be with Gaara,

and he might try to kill me.

We'll target the rookies. They're easy prey.

We'll get that scroll from them in no time. Anything goes, right?

I will make you proud.

Just watch!

Soon everyone will know the name, Rock Lee!

Alright, heads up you maggots!

The second part of the test has begun!

You know who we're looking for.

Yeah, those three brats.

Well, all right!

Here we go, guys!

Okay.

First thing we gotta do is to find it. Are you ready, Hinata?

Yeah, Gugan.

Take it easy, Lee. The test's only just begun.

That may be.

But still, whoever our enemies are, I want to find them before they find us.

You hot -blooded fool.

We have only one target. Stay focused on him.

Just having a snack.

I mean, I gotta keep my strength up, don't I?

We haven't even been out here five minutes.

Yeah, come on, Choji. We have a job to do here. I can't help it. I gotta eat.

They're my favorite flavor.

You and your snack.

This is a survival test, you know. You should have kept more kunai and less

candy. Huh?

You guys, quick, hide!

Oh man, I gotta deal with five more days of this

The tower is where everyone's going to be headed in the end.

I say we lay a trap near it and just take the Skrulls off whoever we catch.

Well, well.

We got company.

Bunch of fools.

Just standing out in the open like they want to get caught.

Well, it seems that they've sensed our presence.

But they're all such lame ninja that they can't even pinpoint our location.

Hey, what's wrong?

What's in your shirt?

Oh, what is that thing?

Well,

it looks like the leeches found them. They sense body temperature and

perspiration, and then in a group, they swoop down on their prey. If they suck

your blood for five minutes, it's all over.

These predators are smart. We've taken advantage of their instincts to trap our

enemies.

Get off me!

There's one team down.

Sounds like the fun has begun.

Sounded like someone screaming.

I do not like this place.

Oh, come on.

It's nothing to be scared of. It's gonna be a piece of cake.

Excuse me a second. I really gotta, you know... Get out of here! What is this, a

kennel? Not in front of me, you don't! Find a bush or something!

That was a lot.

I wrote my whole name. You're such a pig. You're really disgusting sometimes,

you know that?

Boss Gay, it wasn't that bad. Don't you think you're going a little overboard?

Yeah, what the heck was that all about?

Yeah, you wish. I just struck before you could.

Sasuke, no!

Alright then, bring it on!

Sasuke, what are you doing?

Take a good look at him.

Huh?

Talk! What have you done with Naruto?

Then where's the cut on your cheek?

I guess you didn't know the real Naruto got a cut on his face before this test.

You also have your shuriken holster on your left leg, not your right.

But the real Naruto is right -handed.

Your transformation skill is worse than Naruto's. Tell me who you are.

Thank you.

Thank you.

After we're done with him, we've got plenty to keep us busy. This is Ninja, a

giant snake, and five days of non -stop tension on this ninja -fighting, scroll

-hunting, reach -filled survival test.

Oh, man, I could use a vacation.

Next time, eat or be eaten.

Panic in the forest.

Wait, what?
