Come on!
Running like a fugitive,
Being chased by something
Inside my heart is pounding
My throat dry like it's withering
For no single one,
To none does belong,
This time is ours, right now...
Unraveling the pain,
Unraveling our hearts,
Unraveling shadows
Stifling our breath,
Reaching for beyond,
Tearing through the dark
In fighting and in love
To the distant light above,
Yes, we are on the way
I wanna rock...
Rockin' my heart
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I am the examiner of the 1st test of the Chuunin selection exam,
Morino Ibiki.
You guys from the Hidden Village of Sound,
don't think you can do as you please before the exam!
You want to be failed right away?!
Sorry, it's our first time taking the exam, we're too excited.
This is a good opportunity so I'll mention this.
You are not allowed to fight each other during the exam unless given permission by the examiners.
And even if you get permission,
actions that could lead to the death of an opponent will not be permitted.
Any pig that screws with me will fail immediately.
Got it?
This exam is going to be easy.
Now then, we will start the first exam of the Chuunin selection exam.
Turn in your applications,
take one of these number tags and sit where the number tell you to.
After that, we will hand out the papers for the written test.
Written? Paper?
Paper...
A paper test?!
I fail already? The Extremely Difficult First Exam
I fail already?
The extremely difficult first exam.
Everyone's seats are all scattered. What should I do?
He's depressed, depressed.
It's the worst type of test for Naruto.
Naruto-kun...
You're Hinata, right? Since when did you?
L-Let's both do our best.
Y-Yeah.
I didn't notice her at all.
Hinata has no presence at all.
There are several important rules to this first exam.
I will take no questions so listen carefully.
Rules? No questions will be taken?
The first rule is as follows...
You are given 10 points each from the start.
The written exam has ten problems.
Each problem is worth 1 point.
And, this exam is a point deduction system.
You are deducted 1 point for each problem you get wrong.
Points you have - 10
E.g 1. All problems correct -> Your points remain at 10
E.g 2. Three problems incorrect -> Your points drop to 7
If you get three wrong, you'll have 7 points.
If I get ten wrong, I'll have zero points.
The second rule.
Pass or failure will be determined by the total points of the three person teams.
W-Wait a minute!
What do you mean, total points of the teams?
Shut up!
There's a perfectly good reason for this.
Shut up and listen.
Reason?
If you've got it, here comes the most important rule.
If an examiner determines that you are cheating or similar during the test.
Each such action will cause you to lose two points.
What?
Oh!
In other words, there will be people who will be forced to leave without their tests being graded.
This means they're deducting points from things other than the written problems.
Those who try to cheat without thinking carefully will only hurt themselves.
We'll "check" you at any time.
If you aspire to become a Chuunin at all.
If you are a Shinobi, act like a first-rate Shinobi.
Calm down. Yes, yes
Naruto aside, Sasuke-kun and I are okay.
Even if Naruto gets zero points, if we cover that.
And in the case of even one person on the team getting zero points.
Everyone on that team will fail!
Wha?!
What did he say?!
I feel some intense stares.
Naruto-kun?
By the way, the last problem will be given 45 minutes after the start of the exam.
The time for the exam is one hour.
Begin!
Could it be that I'm in a terrible situation?
Naruto. Just don't get zero points.
Damn it, Naruto better not be shaking in his pants from the start.
This is bad...
No way!
I know I've cleared many obstacles like this before.
At times like this one should look at all the problems without feeling pressured or making a fuss.
And then with utmost effort, I should tackle the problems that look easy to understand.
Let's see, the first problem is...
A code text, eh...?
Excellent.
Next. Next.
Let's see, the second problem is...
The parabola B in the diagram illustrates the greatest possible distance
Enemy Ninja A can throw his Shuriken from a tree seven meters high.
Predict and answer the Enemy Ninja's character inferred from the ellipse the Shuriken forms,
also answer the longest firing range in battle on flat ground and explain your basis.
This is an integrated problem based on predictions
of uncertain conditions and dynamic energy analysis application.
There's no way Naruto can solve this.
I mean, hardly anyone except me can solve this problem.
Okay. Next, Next.
These other problems are nothing but difficult ones.
I see...
I don't understand even one of these problems.
Oh, no, this is bad!
For real! For real!
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
If about ten of all fifty one teams are able to pass,
it will be bad if I didn't stretch myself and get a considerable amount of points.
It's like a system inviting cheating.
I hope Sasuke-kun and Naruto won't panic and cheat.
It's okay, Naruto's not that much of an idiot.
I know that.
Don't panic.
For now, all there is to do is to be very very cautious.
And cheat without getting caught!
No! No! I can't, that's no good, no good!
I can't something that risky!
Anyway, they seem really cautious.
It's like a trick assuming that we're going to cheat.
They probably check us off on that paper.
Somebody got caught.
Cheating deducts two points.
Two point deduction, huh.
Ordinarily it'd be failure the moment the cheating was discovered.
Those who try to cheat without thinking carefully will only hurt themselves.
Shinobi should act like first-rate Shinobi.
I see, so that's how it is.
This wasn't just a knowledge test.
The real aim was...
A test to see the ability for information collection with the full use of deception and concealment techniques.
"Shinobi should see through deception", was it?
In other words, the true intention of the examiner is...
if you're going to cheat, don't do it mindlessly,
but like first-rate Shinobi, and not get caught.
If I think about it that way,
the unusual point deduction system and the lenient two point deduction for each cheating attempt makes sense.
In other words,
what's being tested here is how we can gather the correct answers
without having our cheating methods detected by the examiners or by the one being cheated on.
Hurry up and notice it, Naruto!
Otherwise you'll fail the test!
Notice it!
This is bad!
If the purpose of this test is to evaluate our ability to gather information...
then there should be someone in this classroom somewhere...
who knows the answers to the problems!
Looks like Gaara has begun.
I'm counting on you, Karasu.
Yahoo, good boy, Akamaru. Next is problem 4.
Judging from this rhythm...
The stroke order... and the number of strokes...
I see.
Okay, please tell me.
Eight.
Lee, if you can see it wear your headband.
Time is running out.
Crap, cheating is the only way now!
But, if I'm discovered it'll be trouble for Sakura-chan and Sasuke.
On the other hand, if I get zero points.
Sakura-chan and Sasuke will fail with me.
Naruto-kun.
I'll show you... my test.
What is Hinata saying...?
Why would she do such a thing for me?
Could it be... some kind of trick?
But Hinata is not one to do something like that.
No. But she might have been persuaded into attempting to trick me by Kiba and others.
Hinata, let me ask you one thing.
Why would you show me?
Uh... actually...
I... I...
Naruto-kun, I don't want you to leave at this stage...
Y-You see... the nine of us are the only rookies...
and I have many anxieties about what's to come, so.
I get it now, I was kind of strangely suspicious of you.
Anyhow, this is some crazy luck.
Thank goodness I'm next to Hinata.
W-What was that? I was about to turn.
W-What was that for?!
You made five mistakes, you fail.
N-No way.
His two buddies, both of you get out of the classroom right now.
#23 fails.
#43 and #27 fail.
Noooo!
Hey, hey! Do you have proof that I cheated five whole times?!
Really, are you guys properly checking over this many people?
Listen up.
Even among us Chuunin, we're elite who were selected for this exam.
We won't even overlook you blinking once.
In a matter of speaking, this strength is the proof.
Naruto-kun?
Hurry... Look...
Hinata... You don't get it, do you?
An awesome ninja like me won't cheat.
N-Naruto-kun.
B-But...
Also, if something went wrong you'd be in trouble for helping me cheat, right?
Naruto-kun...
I'm... sorry... I-I did something uncalled for...
Don't worry, it's okay.
I... Became stubborn.
What should I do? I'm extremely stupid.
Byakugan!
Sharingan!
I'll copy all his movements!
My hand is moving without hesitation.
I got the right guy already.
Sakura, it looks like you're done.
I'm acknowledging that your smarts and the width of your forehead are exceptional.
So you should thank me.
Thank me for becoming the target of this Jutsu.
(Shintenshin no Jutsu: Mind Body Switch Technique)
Ninpou, Shintenshin no Jutsu!
So Ino started using that Jutsu.
There's no countering Ino's Jutsu.
Sakura, I let myself into your mind for just a little bit.
I have to memorize the answers quick.
I've got to pass these answers to Shikamaru and Choji.
#59 fails!
#33! #9!
This is the thirteenth group to fail.
#41 fails.
#35, #62 fails!
No way!
That brat.
He calmly proceeds through this situation without moving an eyelash.
Well done considering he's new.
The optic nerves are connected.
The third eye... open!
Something got in my eye, damn it.
Excuse me.
What?
I need to go to the bathroom.
We will accompany you to the bathroom.
I see.
Anyhow... the examiners are nothing special.
They don't notice the examiners have increased by one.
Don't you think so too.
Karasu?
Forty minutes have passed since the test started.
Twenty minutes left.
Since it's come to this, it's the last problem to be given forty five minutes after the start of the exam.
All that's left is to gamble on it!
