Thank you

for

watching!

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

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?

Mm -hmm.

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.

have only one target. Stay focused on it.

Sounds like the fun has begun.

Sounded like someone screaming.

I do not like this place.

Oh, come on!

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

Excuse me a second. I really gotta, you know... Are you kidding me?

Get out of here! What is this, a kennel? Not in front of me, you don't. Find a

bush or something.

Eat or be eaten.

Panic in the forest.

Man,

that was a lot. I wrote my whole name.

You are such a pig.

You're really disgusting sometimes, you know that?

It wasn't that bad. Don't you think that was going a little overboard?

Yeah! What the heck was that all about?

Okay, where's the real Naruto?

Better watch out, Sakura.

I think he's gone crazy.

Yeah, right. Then what happened to that scratch you got from the examiner?

And I noticed you've got your shuriken holster on your left side.

Naruto's right -handed.

Your transformation skill is worse than Naruto's.

Tell me who you are.

So you got me. I'm still gonna take your scroll.

So which one of you has it?

Or do I take you both out?

Fire style, phoenix flower jutsu!

Hey,

get me out of here!

Little idiot.

Are you

alright?

Don't just stand there, Sakura!

Chances are this guy's not alone!

Watch out! The others could strike any second now!

proves that we can't just trust appearances.

We have to come up with a way of knowing that each of us is who we say we are,

and not some imposter using a transformation jutsu.

Mm -hmm. All right, so what do we do?

We need a password.

What kind of password?

A secret one.

Something known only to the three of us. And don't trust anyone who doesn't know

it. No matter what.

Okay, listen closely because I only want to say this once.

The question will be, when does a ninja strike?

And the response is, a ninja waits until the time is right. When the enemy

sleeps and drops his guard. When his weapons lie forgotten in the stillness

the night. That is the moment for a ninja to strike.

Got it?

I got it.

You got one a little shorter?

No, Naruto.

That's it.

Come on. What's wrong?

Didn't you get it? I memorized it easy.

Yeah, sure. I got it. I got it. No problem.

I just thought it was going to be a past word, not a past speech.

All right, then. I'll take the scroll.

Wait a minute, Sasuke. I... What was that?

What is it now?

All right, you two fan out into the woods and keep your eyes open.

I'll handle this alone.

Sakura! Sasuke!

What was that?

Stay there.

First answer the question.

When does a ninja strike?

Oh. A ninja waits until the time is right.

When the enemy sleeps and drops his guard. When his weapons lie forgotten in

stillness of the night. That is the moment for a ninja to strike.

Good.

Hey! What's up?

You guys okay? Don't come any closer.

Huh? What's the password?

Oh, sure, no problem.

Okay, a ninja waits till the time is right. When the enemy sleeps and drops

guard, when his weapons lie forgotten in the stillness of the night, that is the

moment for a ninja to strike.

What was that? You could have killed me!

Gotta hand it to you. You're quicker than the last one.

What are you talking about? What was wrong with that?

He just got the pass... word right, word for word!

Exactly. That's what's wrong.

Huh? Huh?

You really think Naruto could memorize all that?

And get it word for word?

Not the Naruto I know. Not in a million years.

You'd have a better chance teaching it to a hamster.

Alright. You've got a point.

Besides, you saw the way this guy moved when he dodged my attack.

That was definitely not a Naruto move.

All right, come on out, whoever you are.

Party's over.

Aren't we the clever one?

Tell me, if your teammate is really that dim -witted, why would you come up with

a password he'd never be able to remember?

You see, it wasn't meant for Naruto so much as for anybody who might happen to

be nearby trying to eavesdrop on us. It was meant as a trap, and you stumbled

right into it.

I'm impressed.

You certainly haven't dropped your guard, have you?

This promises to be very entertaining.

She gives new meaning to the word creepy.

Where is Naruto?

Okay.

Upsy -daisy.

Huh? Hey, where did Sasuke and Sakura go? I wonder if they... Whoa!

Oh, my God!

You'd love to get your hands on our Earth scroll, wouldn't you? It would go

nicely with your Heaven scroll.

Well, when this is all over, one of us will have both

scrolls.

And the other will be dead.

an illusion?

No.

It's more than that.

Her thirst for blood is almost palpable.

Looking in her eyes, I saw the moment of my own death.

Who is she?

What is she?

Sakura?

No use.

She's got it worse than me.

We've got to get out of here.

Get away from her.

She's...

second here wouldn't you rather have this i was

saving this rice ball for lunch

it's

all gone and i'll be digested just like that

You're paralyzed with fear.

What's wrong with me?

Move. Come on, move, Sasuke, move!

Very good.

Now what happens?

No, you... I can't move.

Don't worry, I'll make it quick.

But I don't have to tell you that, do I?

You've seen it with your own eyes.

I expected you to be more of a challenge How disappointing

Konohamaru. Kakashi -sensei.

Oh, Sakura.

Well, some people I'll miss more than others.

Hmm, I don't know what Sasuke's problem was. The guy was always jealous of me.

Still, we had our moment.

Like the time we helped Takashi -sensei bring down that creep Zabuza.

In a way, we were probably good for each other.

Always competing, pushing each other on every challenge.

Always looking for that final showdown to prove which one of us is best.

Hey, wait a minute, that's right.

We never did have our final showdown.

We never proved who's best.

I want some more!

So that's how it is.

A desperate move, but a clever one.

Move, Sasuke! You've got to move!

Move! Move!

He overcame the fear with pain.

So, this prey is not so helpless after all.

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Sorry,

but you picked the wrong shinobi. I'm gonna be Hokage one day.

If you think I'm going to end up a pile of snake crap in the woods, you're

crazy!

That wound's deep.

Will you be all right?

Gotta move.

Gotta get away from her.

But how?

Where?

I've never seen Sasuke like this.

He's got me scared.

Sasuke, watch out!

Unbelievable! I didn't even notice! I'm losing it!

I sense your fear and desperation.

It's only natural.

The prey must never let down its guard, not even for a moment.

In the presence of its predator.

came just in time.

Sometimes I wonder what they'd do without me.

Hey, never fear.

The reptile crew is here.

Next time, Naruto's counterattack.

Never give in.

I don't care who this creep is.

Nobody sticks their tongue out at me.
