Thank you

for

watching!

Thank you.

You measure now

Listen up, Ino.

I'm not going to fight with you over Sasuke.

Sakura, you'd better watch your step. You have any idea who you're mopping off

to?

Don't press your luck with me, little billboard brow.

Did you hear that stuff?

Sakura was so mean.

That's out of line, isn't it? She sure made Ino mad. I've never seen her look

scary. Hmm.

Yes, but there's more to it than that.

Huh? Sakura isn't the kind of person to do things like needlessly flaunt her own

power and callously hurt people.

But she also doesn't like having Ino take pity on her and pull her punches.

Do this right!

Just a plain old jutsu?

This isn't just some Ninja Academy graduation exam. Do you really think you

beat me with a basic ninja arc like that?

If I look carefully, I can find out which is the real one.

I'll send chocolate to my feet for a burst of speed.

And then... What?

You're not some crybaby anymore. You play with fire?

And you're going to get burned.

Let's see your bet, Eno.

It's not like I needed your invitation, you know.

I'll give you my bet, but you're not going to like it.

You're doing awesome, Sakura.

Awesome. Believe it.

Powerful strikes using chakra.

Top notch, considering she's a rookie.

Huh? I've never seen Sakura this good.

Hold on. You're not saying she's better than me.

No, you're the greatest.

No!

Sending chakra all throughout her body and using it in conjunction with a well

-timed jutsu? I don't even think that Sasuke could have done it better.

Well, even from the start of her training, she was extremely good at

control. So this isn't a surprise.

Magnificent movement, Sakura.

No matter how good Sakura is, Ino is just as good. This battle will rain for

quite a while.

At this rate, this battle will never end.

This has been going on so long.

They've been at it for ten minutes.

This isn't how this was supposed to go! How can you be evenly matched with me?

I guess you're right, Eno. Your obsession with your looks and your hair

surpassed. I've been training too hard to worry about that stuff.

You're gonna pay for that! I've had enough of you making fun of me!

What an idiot.

Ino's falling for a trap.

She's so riled up by Sakura, there's no telling what she'll do.

Oh, man.

I hate it when she's like that.

I think she's totally lost it this time.

That's it!

See?

I don't need this!

And I thought she looked scary before.

All right, I'll put an end to this right now.

Get ready to tell everyone that you lost to me, Billboard Brow!

Wait. Don't tell me she's going to. Could it be?

I recall that sign is... I knew I recognized it. It's the Mind Transfer

sign. Oh, man.

That fool.

Look, I know you're frustrated, but that's pointless.

Oh, yeah? We'll just see about that.

Ninja Art Mind Transfer Jutsu.

It's a jutsu that allows the user to take over their opponent's spirit and

control of their body away from them for a few minutes by discharging all of

their own spiritual energy and striking their enemy with it.

But despite its power, there are major flaws to this formidable jutsu that

it extremely dangerous.

First, the user's discharged spiritual energy can only fly straight, and it

moves at a very slow speed.

Second... Even if the spiritual energy misses the enemy, it can't return to the

user's own body for several minutes. And this, in battles that are most often

measured in seconds.

I should add that while the spiritual energy is gone, the user's body, your

body, Eno, can't move at all. It'll be little more than a doll.

The mind transfer jutsu is only used for spine.

It's not a battle jutsu.

Eno, using that jutsu here wouldn't just be a bad idea.

It would be a fatal mistake.

It's a powerful jutsu, but as long as Sakura can dodge it, it's not really a

threat. Plus, if she can avoid it, she can attack Ino without any resistance.

If that happens, Hayate will be forced to bring the match to an end.

So what? I don't care. I won't know unless I try.

If you miss, it's all over.

You do know that, right?

It's only supposed to use this with me, so I can immobilize the enemy first with

my shadow possession jutsu. If she uses it this way, it'll never work.

There's no way she'll hit Sakura.

Huh?

Don't do it!

Ninja art! Mind transfer!

What an unfortunate choice.

Ino. So it's all over, right? I can't believe she did it.

You're done, Ino.

No way!

You fell for it, Sakura.

caught you.

It can't be!

I'm afraid it can't.

All those hand signs earlier were just an act to fool you. To trick you into

running right into the trap I'd laid for you. And it worked.

Now you can't move at all, can you? You're being held by a special rope

made from my hair with my chakra poured into it.

Now that you're trapped, I can take over your body and make you say that you're

giving up on this match.

There's no way I'll ever miss with this jutsu now.

Now I see.

That little fool.

So losing it was just an act, too.

You gotta get out of there quick!

I can't move.

Now.

Mind transfer jutsu!

Really unfortunate.

Eno missed.

No, wait.

Sakura has been... Nice one, Sakura!

I don't get it. What's with Ino? And with Sakura?

I mean, Sakura's acting really strange, don't you think?

This is her chance!

Do it already, Sakura!

Attack!

It's futile.

The mind transfer jutsu worked.

Sakura's done for.

The mind transfer?

Does that mean that Sakura has... Yes.

I'm afraid so.

Sakura's spirit has been completely taken over by Ino.

What?

Ino's spirit is inside of Sakura now.

Well, I'm guessing that Ino's goal is probably... And just like that,

it's over.

Now then, Sakura, if you'd be so kind.

Haruno would like to say that I with... No!

Sakura, don't!

Man,

that kid's just so annoying.

You worked so hard to get here, Sakura!

Don't disgrace yourself now by losing to that lame Edo girl!

Yell all you want. There's nothing you can do now.

What's wrong? Are you withdrawing?

Well, are you or not?

No, I won't be withdrawing! Not today or any other day!

Yeah, you're mine!

Which one is it?

What's up with Eno?

Something looks wrong.

She shattered Ino's jutsu.

She must have used up too much chakra before attempting the jutsu.

So she didn't have enough chakra to do it right.

How can you have two spirits in you?

Just what are you anyway?

Someone who's just as strong as she is beautiful.

I mean, a girl's gotta be tough if she's gonna survive something like this.

Once you're caught in that jutsu, it's certainly not easy to cast out the

invader.

Ino's lack of chakra contributed, that's for sure. But even more important than

that were Sakura's defiant heart and her combative attitude towards Ino.

It also seems Naruto had something to do with this. His voice awakened Sakura's

spirit, allowing her to cast Ino out.

Just like I've seen in Naruto, Sakura's fighting spirit is stronger than the

others. so she can overcome obstacles that otherwise would be beyond her

abilities.

But now, both of them are almost out of chakra.

This battle will come down to brute force.

Since neither combatant is able to continue, by double knockout, no one

through the fourth battle of this preliminary.

This match is over.

Sakura, no way!

Very well, then.

Good grief.

Hey, Nino!

Sakura, no!

Sakura, wake up!

Are you okay?

I don't think the treatment will be necessary.

They'll probably just wake up after a little while.

But they both certainly put up a great fight.

Yeah.

Despite her success with Naruto and Sasuke, I didn't think Sakura had what

takes to win here.

But she's grown a lot.

She may not have done as well as she would have liked, but still.

A lot of good happened here.

I really feel that it was the right choice to send her to these tuning

I'm so ready. After watching that last match, I'm fired up.

So, this is another Denning from the Sand Village.

Go, Tenten! This should be interesting to watch.

So you're finally

waking up, huh, Sakura?

Come on, Tenten! Use the power of you! Nice, Lee! Let's hear that support!

You can do it, Tenten! Take her down, Tenten! Our match is already over.

So did I... Did I lose then?

That's no fair. I'm the one who wants to cry. To think I tied with you. I still

can't believe that happened.

Here.

Guess you finally got a flower to bloom.

A beautiful flower.

But Sakura, the next time we fight, you don't get to take the easy way out by

fainting.

And don't forget, I won't just hand over Sasuke to you, understand, Sakura?

Oh yeah, well that goes double for you, Ino, you ugly...

For the fifth match, 10 -10.

Tamari, get ready.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Shikamaru. Well, a lot, actually. You are boring, lazy, average,

ordinary, good for nothing.

If you don't start putting your whole heart into things, this exam will be

real soon for you.

Next time, killer Kanoichi and a shaky Shikamaru. It just doesn't get much

more...
