Thank you

for

watching!

Thank you.

Come on, is that it? I only got three.

Now go and do it again.

What?

I could eat three fish myself.

Well, if you think it's so easy, what if you get wet and I'll stand on the

shore? Sasuke!

The fire's ready to light. I could use one of your fireballs.

I've got to do everything around here.

It's already been four days since the second exam began.

That's right.

We're sure not going to break any records, and we only have 24 hours left.

I wonder how many of the other teams have already got their scrolls and

finished.

I wonder when this fish is going to be done. I could eat a whale!

If we don't get a break soon, we're finished.

If I move fast, I bet I can snag the biggest one before the others get it.

What are we doing? Who are we chasing?

There's probably no one left in this forest anyway.

So what do we do?

You're right. The other teams must have all finished by now. Yeah, it's been

four days.

Anyway, we've been going since dawn. No need to kill ourselves.

I'll go and try to find something to eat.

You guys rest.

Hey.

Yeah?

If I remember right, I think the other scroll, it had heaven written on it, and

it was different from this one, because it had white around the edges, right?

I guess so. I wasn't really paying too much attention when they showed them to

us.

Anyway, why? What's the big deal all of a sudden?

Whoa, you're not really thinking...

We

have to face it.

There may not be any more Heaven Scrolls left.

Well, that's a cheerful thought.

Maybe so, but it's true.

Look, you said it yourself, Sasuke. This is the fourth day we've been out here.

That means we've already used up 80 % of the time we've got to complete the

exam.

Only 13 teams can pass because there are only 13 pairs of heaven and earth

scrolls. And you've got 26 teams, 78 candidates out looking for them.

And if those odds weren't bad enough, things have gotten even worse.

Don't forget.

That creep Orochimaru burnt the Heaven Scroll we had.

Yeah, I remember.

The number of complete pairs of scrolls that could be found was reduced by one

right there.

Not to mention all the ones that have been found and secured by other teams

since then.

Maybe we gave ourselves too much time to rest and recover from our last fight. I

don't know.

What I do know is that we've got to get serious now, and make up for lost time.

The next enemy we face could be our last chance.

I'm gonna get water.

I don't know how we can do this without having to fight anyone.

Huh?

Look.

Look at what?

What do you mean, look at what?

Scrolls. I've got tons of them.

You know, manuals of ninjutsu and stuff like that.

We could change one of these to look exactly like the Heaven Scroll.

Stop. Don't even.

Huh?

Even if you could fake the outside, how do you fake what's written inside?

You couldn't know without reading it, and that's against the rules.

Idiot! I've got it all figured out.

I think these things have a secret code written in them that only makes sense if

you put them both together.

Yeah.

And that secret code is like the password you need in order to get into

tower at the end of the exam. Get it?

All I get is that you're a nimrod.

Huh? We've never even had a heaven scroll, so how in the world are we going

face what's inside?

The next brilliant idea you get, how about keeping it to yourself?

We got enough problems.

But wait.

We do have a clue to what's inside the Heaven Scroll.

The Earth Scroll.

You wouldn't.

It's our only chance.

I'm going to open and read this scroll.

Naruto, can't you get it through your empty head?

We're expressly forbidden from opening the scrolls before arriving at the

But if we don't do anything, we'll never make it!

Careful. Take it slow.

It might be booby -trapped or something.

Yeah.

I thought of that.

What's wrong?

Guy?

Hey, what's the scroll doing there?

What happened?

What did you guys do?

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

An enemy.

I can't believe you guys.

If I hadn't come along when I did.

Sorry, Sasuke.

There have been others who have broken the rules and tried to peek at the

scrolls. I've seen what happens to them.

They're protected by a powerful hypnosis jutsu, a kind of booby trap for anyone

unwise enough to try to read them.

It'll knock you senseless. And by the time you wake up, the exam is over.

Kabuto, right? We met at the registration.

What are you doing wandering around all by yourself?

Don't worry, I'm not after your Earth Scroll.

I guess not. I suppose if you were, you would have just swiped it from Naruto

when you had the chance.

So you're looking for a Heaven Scroll too, huh?

Not really.

You see, I already have them both.

I had a run of luck.

I was just on my way to the tower to wait for my teammates to show up.

So, if you'll excuse me.

Hold it.

I'll fight you for it.

You'll fight me for it?

But Sasuke... Hold on a second! Is this a joke or what?

Are you serious?

Perfectly. Sorry, but I don't have time to play nice.

Back off, Sasuke!

In case you've forgotten, this guy saved our butts!

Naruto's got a point. We don't want to be ungrateful or anything. Shut up.

Sasuke... It can't be helped.

It's either him or us.

Out here, it's all about surviving and winning. Nothing else matters.

Hmm.

You're lying.

Yeah?

Come on, admit it. For all your tough talk, your heart really isn't in it.

If it was true, if winning was really the only thing that mattered to you, why

openly challenge me to a fight?

Why announce it and put me on my guard?

Why not just jump me when my back is turned?

After all, that's what a ninja would do.

Hmm.

That's pretty deep.

It's okay.

Actually, I admire you for it.

So here's what I'll do.

I'll show you the path you should follow.

But let's go.

It's best we get out of here.

The smell of that cooking fire is going to draw every wild beast in the forest.

And not only animals, but the competition, too.

You

think

there are still other candidates out here?

Oh, yeah.

Just think about it.

What do you think is the most efficient way of finding the scrolls in an area as

large as this?

To go searching through the forest for them?

Uh, no.

No. You wait for them to come to you.

The tower at the center of the forest is the goal, right?

So on the last day of the exam, that area will be crawling with teams

on the tower with their scrolls.

Oh, yeah, I get it. Like an ambush.

So we just head for the tower, find a hiding place, and when a team comes

with a heaven scroll, we jump them and take it. That's one third of the

Huh? You guys aren't going to be the only ones thinking of this.

Every other team that's lacking a scroll will be lying in wait, just like you.

So what? The more the merrier, I say. Whoever they are, we'll take care of

Wouldn't want this to be too easy. That wouldn't be any fun. Okay, so we grab

someone else's scroll and keep those losers from grabbing ours, and bingo,

passed the second exam.

That's two -thirds of the problem.

Well, at least we're getting closer.

What else?

Well, there's bound to be some collectors lurking around at the finish

Collectors?

Even when you think you're home free, you can't relax your guard for an

This kind of exam always brings them out.

Collectors. They gather extra sets of scrolls to use for various ends.

For example, to bribe their way out of unexpected situations, or to provide

their village mates with the scroll they're lacking.

Some steal them to keep candidates from rival villages from passing, or to help

out teams from their own village who couldn't find the scrolls on their own.

Others steal them for their own dark purposes.

They'll hang on to them to use against the stronger teams farther down the

They'll be there, alright.

And they're bad news.

The closer you get to the tower, the more likely you'll be to run into them.

I see.

And I think I'm starting to understand why you brought us along with you.

Hmm? It's because you're frightened, aren't you?

You bet I am.

They're at the tower.

And that means the end is in sight.

Now comes the hard part.

Well, it's about time! Bring it on!

There's someone back there.

Huh!

False alarm! It's just a centipede!

Just a centipede? That creepy thing's as big as a butt!

Hey, Naruto.

Hmm?

Do us a favor and try to keep it down to a dull roar, will you?

Hmm?

See, the whole idea is not to let anyone know we're here.

If you go crashing through the forest like an elephant, you're going to draw

collectors like flies.

We want to find them before they find us.

Oh, yeah, I see your point.

Take it slow and quiet.

Let's use all the time we've got left.

Okay, right.

Got it.

More like.

Okay,

we're getting closer.

A trap, huh?

Yeah. And it only gets worse from here on in.

Hey!

Well, that was close.

A substitution jutsu!

Like I told you, it only gets worse from here on in.

They're crying out loud.

Sakura!

How far have we walked?

That tower's not getting any closer.

Now that you mention it, I was thinking that too. It's weird.

Maybe not.

It would seem we've been spotted.

Somebody is playing games with us.

Look.

Ring a bell?

Huh?

Oh man, no way! It can't be!

Hey, what's the big idea?

What's going on?

Genjutsu. That's what it looks like.

And we fell for it completely.

We were so concerned with not being seen by anyone, we didn't see we were

walking around in circles.

What's their game?

They're probably trying to wear us down, and then strike when we're frustrated

and physically exhausted.

You mean like we are right now?

Right.

They'll be coming soon.

Well, Naruto, you wanted a fight.

Hmph! Four against forty! I like those odds!

Thank you for

watching!

Thank you.

ones with a clone jutsu you want to see clones i'll show you clones they think

they can steal our scroll after all we went through to get it get real i don't

care if there's 400 of them by the time i'm through with them they're gonna need

400 hospital beds
