Check out their headbands, they're all from the Hidden Rain Village...

What matters is which scroll they have, Heaven or Earth?

[grunting]

[grunti]

You guys gonna run off?!

Be nice and give us your scroll!

Never.

Ajjisai...

Fire Style!

Unsealing Jutsu! Confetti Storm!

[yelling]

They ran away?

Of course they did! Our strength must've scared them off!

That's too bad. We almost had their scroll!

[sighing]

"Tenten's Troubles"

Lady Angel...

Lady Angel, you said that there's a special mission for us. What is it?

I want you to use the Chunin Exams as an opportunity to locate a Jinchuriki.

A Jinchuriki...?

Suiren, Fuyou...

Use your Sensory Perception skills to look for a shinobi who harbors enormous amounts of chakra.

Is that what a Jinchuriki is?

Even if you don't find a Jinchuriki, you're to bring back intel on the other villages...

...and on any extraordinary shinobi.

Understood!

You'll go with these two, Ajisai.

I understand.

The Hidden Rain is currently in the midst of a reformation.

And the other villages must not learn about it.

They must continue to believe that Hanzo of the Salamander still rules the Hidden Rain.

Yes, ma'am!

What is it, Ajisai?

You can see so many stars in other nations...

The stars, huh...?

So, this is what a starlit sky is like...

Oh! A shooting star!

I've never seen one before!

We'll be able to see them in the Hidden Rain Village someday, too...

[blowing]

All right, let's do it...

There are no other shinobi in the area.

Then, that means we can finally relax and have a nice meal!

How 'bout okonomiyaki?

What, really?

Wow, who would've expected that out in the desert?!

Well, we have to make sure to eat well if we wanna maintain our strength.

It is so convenient having you around!

What's that mean?!

That...you are convenient!

I'm sorry, excuse me? I may have convenient tools, but I am not a convenient tool, okay?

No, no, Tenten! You are absolutely convenient

Seriously?!

You listen to me! I'm not convenient.

You're in charge of making dinner, now!

Uh...Hey, Tenten...

Don't follow me!

What just happened?!

I have no idea...

What now?!

Don't look at me!

Huh?

[sigh] Oh, damn it...

Guess I just needed...to vent a bit...

[yell]

8 Trigrams: Air Palm!

Third Gate of Life...

Open!

[yelling]

You've improved greatly, Tenten!

Thanks so much, Guy Sensei!

You've really perfected your skills.

But, to be completely honest, it isn't good enough.

Hmm?

What's wrong?

Mastering weapons for single combat is fundamental for a ninja, right?

Fundamentals are important.

I know that. But, now, the issue is going beyond fundamentals...

Neji has honed his Gentle Fist and developed a new jutsu.

So I've seen! He's brilliant!

Lee only has fundamental taijutsu skills, but he can open the Eight Inner Gates, now.

Oh...Those are the fruits of his labor!

Yeah, but...all I have is the basics!

Huh?

I wanna have a really awesome skill, too!

At the rate things are going, all that I'll ever do is stand behind them and support them.

You know, Tenten,...a role such as that is actually critical in teamwork.

You see, I know both Neji and Lee are taijutsu users, and because of that they're close-contact fighters...

Don't you get it, Tenten? We're able to fight so aggresively because we know that you have our backs.

And, we are incredibly grateful that you're there for us.

That's nice to know, but, rather than just gratitude, I'd like to have my own special ninjutsu!

Isn't there something I can do, Guy Sensei?

Hmm...huh...hmm...

How about the Sansetsukon?

That isn't really different than this!

Wait, that's right, Tenten!

Don't forget that you have a skill that no one else on this entire team possesses!

So, you should work to hone it!

A skill no one else has?

You're really convenient to have around.

Please don't talk me like I'm some kind of tool or something like that, Sensei!

Oh no, I didn't mean to make it sound like that at all!

You know, I'd already given this a lot of thought before I came to talk to you...

Tenten!

Okonomiyaki is ready!

So, come and get it!

How did they turn out, anyway?

I have my doubts about them...

Looks like it's another hot day.

It's the opposite of the Hidden Rain.

[grunt]

Yeah, a little dampness would be nice.

I do see some green over there.

Byakugan!

What do you see, Neji?

That there's no one around here at all.

Well, let's just keep moving. As we get closer to the finish line, we're bound to run into other teams.

You are right. That is way better than lying in wait.

But if we wanted to, I see a good spot for it ahead.

Where?

Want to check it out?

This place is creepy.

I can see caves all around us.

It seems we found a ruin.

A ruin?

That's right. Of the Land of Wind.

Yep, as I thought...

They're Hidden Leaf shinobi.

They're different than yesterday's bunch.

That trio we saw yesterday was entirely unimpressive.

I wonder what these guys are gonna be like?

They're heading right for us.

They have a Sensory-type, too.

All right, we'll ambush them.

They're lying in wait for us.

What about getting the scroll they have?

Well! We'll fight them and grab it!

Looks like they plan to do the same thing. They're coming! Right now!

Let's not waste each other's time, here.

I'll put it bluntly.

We possess the Heaven scroll.

So, if this is what you're after, let's cut to the chase and fight.

Unsealing Jutsu: Shuriken!

That jutsu...!

Rotation!

[gasp]

[yell]

Summoning Jutsu, Gate of Rainwater!

[grunting]

[growl]

[gasp]

[boom]

Why you...!

You're not the only one who can use Transportation Jutsu!

They're quite good.

That's true,...although...

None of them possess large amounts of chakra.

Ajisai...

Unsealing Jutsu! Confetti Storm!

[gasp]

They ran away!

Byakugan!

Let's go!

They're after us.

They definitely have a Sensory-type with them.

Water Style! Hidden Drizzle Jutsu!

What's wrong?!

There's so little moisture around here that my Water Style doesn't work well.

[gasping]

I know that we don't have the advantage of higher ground, here...

It's an impossible battle, but we have to fight!

Take this! Leaf Hurricane

Lee, above you!

[gasp]

Senbon Rainstorm!

[grunting yell]

[yelling]

You're not bad!

Gentle Fist!

[shouting]

Now try this! Leaf Drop!

[shout]

[gasps]

[shrieking]

Tenten!

Ajisai!

[gasp]

I can still sense their chakra underground...But it's deep...

All this rubble's in the way...

We can't waste time fighting senselessly.

We're going to save our teammate, now. Please, don't interfere.

The same goes for us.

Good idea! Let us all call a truce for now!

After all, we're not at war. It's just the Chunin Exams.

The safety of our teammate is more important than passing.

We agree to your plan. But, we'll conduct our own search and rescue operation.

This looks like a ruin from the Land of Wind.

I'm guessing Ajisai and the other kunoichi fell into an underground corridor.

If it's a corridor, it has to connect to somewhere. So, let's find where.

Should we just use brute force and dig from above?

There's a risk we could cause a collapse, that way...

We should search for a passage into the ruins and follow it underground.

[whimpering]

What's the matter, Tenten? Just burn with the passion of youth!

Let all of your youthful energy flow! And fill up with burning chakra!

Yeah, but, Guy Sensei,...I thought we were just going to be doing some strength training out here!

You're naive, Tenten!

Somewhere here, your physical strength is going to reach its limits.

Then you'll fall and then you'll die.

I'll die?!

To stay alive, you must overcome the limits of your physical strength.

Of course, in order to do something like that, you must have a strong will.

Yes, Sensei!

Hi, there! Are you guys cliff climbing, too?

Hang in there!

Kakashi?!

Your arm, why is it behind your back?!

Oh, that? It's just a little habit of mine. Well, see you later!

"See you later?" No way! This is a rivalry contest! And I'll finish first!

[growl]

Don't get so worked up, Guy! This is only training.

And what's wrong with a little rivalry during training?!

Hey, wait! Guy Sensei, please come back!

Just go your own pace!

Come on...!

[grunting]

[cry]

[exhale]

Damn it! Damn it!

Damn it all! Damn...

Huh? Good job, Tenten. You made it, huh?

Did you overcome your limits?

I'm not quite sure...But I feel like I overcame something.

Water?

Here.

You are convenient, after all!

Can you please stop saying that?!

I just mean your jutsu's convenient.

[slurp and exhale]

Storing items inside a scroll, or using a scroll to pull out items from far, far away...

...using the Transportation Technique, a type of Summoning Jutsu.

You have that skill or you don't.

So, wait, are you saying that you think I have the skill for it?

Seems so!

And honing that skill is the path to gaining the strength and usefulness that you so wish to have.

You think I should hone my skill? Won't that only increase my physical strength?

Your mental strength, too!

I'm certain that you must be aware that chakra is the combination of physical energy and mental energy, aren't you?

Yes, of course.

An individual can increase their chakra by merely training.

Simply put, if you're able to increase your physical and mental power, your chakra will increase as well.

I'm sure increasing my chakra is good for me, but what exactly will happen?

With the Summoning Jutsu, the quantity or size of what is summoned is directly proportional to the caster's own

chakra. So...

For example, you just summoned this amount of water.

By increasing your chakra, you could summon enough water to fill a bathtub, or a lake, or even an ocean.

An ocean...

[yelling]

[chuckling]

And, that is why we will continue our training to increase our chakra, Tenten.

Right!

We just climbed up, so why do we have to climb down, too?!

This is also training! Just burn with the passion of youth!

Let all of your youthful energy flow! And fill up with burning chakra!

Come on!

[screaming]

[gasps]

Where am I?

Huh?!

Hey, there...! Are you all right?

Hey! Talk to me!

Lee, did you find something?

Not yet. I thought this was an entrance, but it's just a dead end.

I see. We have to find a way into the ruins quickly. We don't know how long before they'll collapse since that shockwave

weakened them...

Oh no! Can you find them with your Byakugan, Neji?

It seems they fell down a considerable distance...

Tenten...

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "The Imprisoned Pair."

I hope that you are safe!
