Hit the gas!
There's no need to finagle, oh yeah!
We'll go all through the night.
I'll complain at the end,
the balance is zero, oh yeah!
We'll whittle the days away...
When you open your heart a little,
and pull someone close to you,
Your feelings will surely reach them deeper, yeah...
Hurry it up! Wring it out!
Though my legs are all tangled, they will surely take me far...
Even if I steal it and manage to grasp it,
If it isn't you, then what's the point?
So I'll go far into the distance...
Akamaru surprised!
Gaara's Exceptional Ability
Akamaru surprised! Gaara's Exceptional Ability.
Where is he...?
Everyone, hide! No, get down!
Where is he, damn it...
Naruto...
That idiot, he finally woke up.
You're pretty dumb, aren't you?
Actually, watching you pisses me off.
Sakura-chan!
What?
Y-Y-Your...!
Sakura-chan... your hair!
Oh, this?
Just changing my image.
An image change.
I like it better long but, when I move around in a forest like this, it gets in the way if it's long.
By the way...
Why are you guys here?
Explaining it to you is too troublesome for me.
Everyone helped us.
What?
That Sakura... She's trying to act tough.
I'll take care of him from here.
Okay...
Get it together! Lee!
Tenten...
Why are you here?
We came to help you.
Huh? Where did the Sound ninja go?
That Sasuke boy drove them away.
I see...
Why did you take action on your own?
On top of that, you're hurt badly!
Sakura-san was in danger. So as a man, I had to...
Geez, if Lee was alone, he wouldn't have lost to them.
You really are an idiot!
I can't argue with that...
You're the fuzzy eyebrows guy!
Naruto!!
Don't say rude things to Lee-san!
What happened while I was sleeping...?
Naruto is totally out of it.
He's the type of person who can't become a main character in a story.
Lee-san...
Thank you.
Thanks to you, my eyes are wide open now.
I think I've become a little stronger.
Sakura-san...
I... It looks like I need more training.
Sasuke-kun...
You live up to the reputation of the Uchiha clan.
You drove the Sound ninja away. You truly posses great potential and power.
While I lost horribly.
What? He lost to them?
What's going on? Were they really that strong?
Sakura-san.
The Lotus in Konoha blooms twice.
What?
The next time we meet, I promise that I will be a stronger man.
Okay.
Hey, Sakura!
Come here, come here!
Your hair, I'll fix it for you!
Thanks.
You cheater.
You hugged him back there, forehead girl.
In public, the person who takes the initiative wins...
Ino pig.
Uchiha Sasuke...
He is a powerful rival.
Are you okay, Akamaru?
Is he still trembling?
It's already been half a day.
Akamaru...
It's natural though, since he saw that scene...
In survival games, this is what's important.
Right. Akamaru?
Luckily, the ones we caught in our traps had the other scroll.
We'll be the first to the tower at this rate.
Don't get too carried away. That's dangerous.
No matter how small a bug is, it has to guard itself at all times.
We have to pay attention to avoid coming across any enemies.
This is safe.
I know that. As always, you're speaking in a way that's difficult to understand, you bug freak.
B-But, I think there's some truth to what Shino-kun said.
Fine, geez.
Naruto-kun, I hope you're okay...
Hey you two, stop.
We're being careful not to come across an enemy, right?
Then, Hinata, can you scout 1 km ahead in that direction?
I'll have a look.
Byakugan!
There's someone there.
It sounds like...
Six people.
All right! Let's go look.
What?
Kiba! Have you lost your mind? We're not doing that.
The examiner just told us to bring a set of the Heaven and Earth scrolls.
She didn't say we could take more than that.
If we take more, that means more teams will drop out, right?
B-But...
We'll just see what's going on at first..
If it looks too dangerous, we won't fight for no reason.
Then, let's go.
I kind of hate him.
What's wrong, Akamaru?
What happened? You suddenly stopped.
Akamaru suddenly got frightened.
Why?
Akamaru is able to sniff an enemy's chakra and find out how strong he is.
But this is the first time I've seen him this scared.
The guys fighting up ahead aren't normal...
Kids from the Sand challenging us straight on...
...Is quite foolish.
What is that small kid thinking challenging those guys?
What did Akamaru say?
He's saying that the big guy is dangerous.
They do seem quite strong and dangerous.
Hey, kid. You should be more careful in picking your opponents.
You're all going to die.
Cut the chatter. Let's fight...
Old man from the Hidden Village of Rain.
Which scroll do those guys have...
Hey, Gaara!
Shouldn't we follow them and gather some information before picking a fight?
If they have the same type of scroll there's no need to fight.
Unnecessary battles are....
It doesn't matter.
If their eyes meet mine... I'll kill them all.
That's why I don't like to be with him...
Then let's do this!
Die, brat!
(Jouro Senbon: Needle Shower)
Ninpou, Jouro Senbon!
Those are hidden needles.
Up, down, right, left, there's no dead spot in this Jutsu.
The needles are also controlled by my chakra and will attack the target!
Too easy.
Is that all?
I-Impossible... Not even one hit?
He's unharmed...? That can't be!
A rain of needles, eh?
Then, I'll make a rain of blood fall.
His chakra is so huge.
And, that sand...
It smells terrible.
Smell?
A strong smell of blood...
A wall of sand?
That's right, an absolute defense by sand.
He controls the sand inside the gourd and hardens it with enormous amounts of chakra.
It is a Jutsu only permissible by Gaara, and is used to protect his body.
And regardless of Gaara's will, this is all done automatically.
In other words, all attacks against Gaara are nullified.
Damn it!
You guys can't defeat our Gaara.
Don't underestimate me!
He's dead.
That's what you get for opposing Gaara.
(Sabaku Kyu: Sand Binding Coffin)
Sabaku Kyu.
I can't move...
T-This won't...
I can cover your loud mouth and kill you.
But that would be to miserable on your side.
(Sabaku Soso: Sand Burial)
Sabaku Soso!
There was no pain.
Because there was no time to even feel it.
The bloody tears of a corpse merge with vast sinking sand...
....And provide more power to the demon of war.
T-The scroll...
We'll give it to you!
Please! Let us go!
Nooo!
This isn't good. Hurry up and run, he'll kill us if he finds us.
It's the scroll of Heaven, how convenient.
Okay! Let's go to the tower.
Shut up.
It's still... not enough for me!
Crap... Did he notice us?
Let's stop, Gaara.
Are you afraid, coward?
Gaara! It's certainly no problem for you, but it's too dangerous for us!
We just need one set of scrolls!
We don't need any more...
You slacker. Don't order me around.
Cut it out!
How about if you sometimes listen to what your older brother has to say?!
I've never thought of you two as my siblings.
If you get in my way... I'll kill you.
G-Gaara, stop. Don't be so cold.
As a favor to your sister... Okay?
Gaara!
Fine.
That's why I hate brats.
I get it, so that's what you meant, Akamaru.
Geez, you should have said something sooner.
No one's here...
So we're the first ones?
No, I sensed someone's presence.
More importantly, is Akamaru okay?
He's been trembling ever since.
Oh, yeah. What did Akamaru say a while ago?
Oh, Akamaru said that the big guy is going to get killed by the kid from the Sand.
There's no other place to go to.
They've already made us wait for half a day.
How much longer do we have to wait?
Anyway, I don't know who the kid from the Hidden village of Sand is...
But he's too dangerous!
It's becoming a real mess, but we can't cancel this exam.
What do you mean?
Excuse me.
What is it?! I'm having an important conversation here.
My apologies.
But, please take a look at this.
A video?
Ready? Here, look at the time.
This is...
It's a recording inside the tower, 1 hour and 37 minutes after the start of the second exam.
Three from the Hidden Village of Sand have finished the second exam.
Is this possible?
In only 97 minutes...
This has never happened before.
This is abnormal.
They are not on a Genin level.
They broke the old record by 4 hours.
It's not just that.
What do you mean?
It's 10 kilometers from the exam entrances to the tower.
Ferocious animals, poisonous insects, the rugged forest road...
As if those weren't even there...
Especially the brown haired kid in front...
What about him?
You don't notice?
I see, this is quite surprising.
What about him is so...?
Look closely, at his body.
I see.
He doesn't have a single scratch.
What's worse, there's not even a smudge of dirt on his clothes.
Even I...
No, any of the other Chuunin...
It's impossible for us to make it to this tower without a scratch.
It must have something to do with his ability.
It's been a long time since a promising guy has emerged.
Although he has unpleasant eyes.
Can you hear me?
The sky is limitless and blue,
The sea is endlessly large
to you, please keep your smile or else I'll cry.
you don't have to look around now
because everyone are in these hands
wanting to cry
wanting to run
if you forget happiness then sing
light was born and dark was born
the two is together
feeling harmonia, telepathy
Can you hear me?
