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...
The best battle is
All right, damn it!!
The best battle is all right, damn it!!
Just a normal clone jutsu?
This isn't the ninja academy's final test, you know.
You think you can defeat me with such a basic jutsu?
I can tell which is real if I look closely.
Accumulate chakra to my feet immediately...
And stomp the ground!
She's fast!
If you still take me as the crybaby Sakura, you're going to get hurt.
Fight me seriously, Ino!
I'm glad to hear that.
I'll go at you with everything I have, as you requested.
Way to go, Sakura-chan. She's good, really good.
She excels among the other rookies in basic movement done using chakra.
Sakura is quite complete.
She's better than me?
Yep, thats right.
The ability to circulate chakra throughout your entire body and use it at the right time...
She does it better than Sasuke.
But in Sakura's case, she was really good at chakra control to begin with.
Wonderful movement, Sakura-san!
But your opponent is strong, too. It's an equal battle, it will be a long fight.
When did she become this strong...?
I can win... I can...!
Why you...!
There is no end in sight if it keeps going like this...
This is a long battle.
They have been fighting for 10 minutes already.
There's no way you're as strong as me!
There's no way a sloppy person like you, who spends too much time on her appearance and hair, is my equal.
Stop underestimating me!
Idiot, she's taking the insults too seriously.
Now we don't know what Ino is going to do.
I don't like Ino acting that way.
You're pretty simpleminded.
Crap, she's totally lost it.
See that!
Screw this!
She's scary...
I'm going to end this now by making you say "I give up"!
Wait, is she going to...!
Is she...
That seal...
Just as I thought, she's going to use the Mind Transfer.
Geez, that idiot.
I understand that you're in a hurry, but that's useless.
We'll see about that.
(Shintenshin no Jutsu: Mind Transfer technique)
Ninja art, Shintenshin no Jutsu.
The user releases her mind energy and hits the enemy with it to take over the opponent's mind for a few minutes...
As well as take control of the opponent's body.
But that scary jutsu has a weakness.
First, the mind energy that the user releases can only go in a straight line and moves slowly.
Second, if the mind energy that the user releases misses the enemy, it won't return to the user for a few minutes.
In addition to that, during that time the user's... your body will become like a doll and not move at all.
Shintenshin no Jutsu was originally used for spying, and is not suited for combat.
Ino, using that technique here is equivalent to suicide.
There's no threat if Sakura moves around.
And on top of that, she can beat the opponent to a pulp if she can dodge that jutsu.
If that happens, Hayate will have to stop the match.
So what?! You won't know until I actually try!
It's the end if you miss, do you understand?
Hmm?
(Kagemane no Jutsu: Shadow Imitation Technique)
During battle, we're supposed to use it after we stop the enemy's movement with my Kagemane no Jutsu.
It's impossible.
It won't hit.
Idiot, stop!
Ninja art, Shintenshin no Jutsu!
Which one is she in?
Nice try...
Ino.
There's nothing more she can do now.
She screwed up.
It's over now.
This is...?
You've fallen into my trap, Sakura.
I've finally caught you.
Did she...?
It's just as you guessed.
I was just pretending when I formed those seals...
So that I could lure you into this trap.
How do you like it? You can't move at all, right?
It's a special rope made by running chakra through my hair.
Now, the match will be over if I enter your body and make you say "I give up".
I definitely won't miss!
I see.
That idiot was acting like she was mad.
Run, Sakura-chan!
I can't move.
Now... Shintenshin no Jutsu!
Nice try...
She missed.
No...
Sakura-san.
Sakura-chan.
Sakura...
What's wrong with Ino?
And, and Sakura-chan is acting weird.
It must be a chance for her, though.
Beat her up, Sakura-chan!
She can't.
Using the Shintenshin no Jutsu there was unexpected, but it worked.
Mind transfer?
Does that mean Sakura-san is...?
Yeah, Ino has taken over Sakura's mind.
What?
Ino is inside of Sakura right now.
And Ino is most likely going to...
This is it.
Goodbye, Sakura.
I, Haruno Sakura, will...
give...
No!
Sakura-chan!
Damn it, he's so noisy.
You've come a long way to get here!
It's going to be a disgrace if you lose to that Sasuke obsessed freak!
It's useless telling that to me right now.
What...
is this chill...?
Naruto sure is noisy.
I can't believe that I let Ino do this.
Sakura? That's impossible...
What is it?
Are you going to give up?
There's no way I'm going to give up!
Damn it!
So which is it...?
What...?
Sakura...
This can't be.
I screwed up the jutsu...?
Ino! If you don't get out of my mind right now, you're going to see hell!
What happened to Ino?
No!
I won't last long at this rate!
Release!
No way. She beat Ino's jutsu!
She used up too much strength before using the jutsu.
So she didn't have enough chakra.
You have two minds...? Who are you?
I have the strength to match my beauty.
Girls need to be strong to survive.
You shouldn't be able to kick out the invader that easily once that jutsu is used on you...
It's true Ino was short on chakra...
But the fighting spirit inside Sakura towards Ino, her rival, had a bigger effect.
That was triggered and awakened by Naruto's voice, and it kicked Ino out.
It's no surprise, though. She's the same as Naruto... She doesn't like to lose.
This is...
But...
Those two should only have a minimal amount of chakra left.
This is the last attack!
Both are unable to fight.
Due to a double KO, neither of you passes the 4th preliminary match.
Now then...
Oh, boy...
Hey, Ino!
Sakura-san!
Sakura-chan!
Are you okay?
They don't even require medical treatment.
They'll wake up in a bit.
But I was surprised.
Yeah.
I knew that Naruto and Sasuke got stronger, but I didn't expect the unreliable Sakura to become stronger as well.
A lot happened, but I'm glad, from the bottom of my heart, that I entered them in this Chuunin exam...
Tenten
Temari
I'm getting psyched since I saw that match.
Country of Sand's second opponent.
Do your best, Tenten!
This might be an interesting match.
You're finally awake, Sakura?
Tenten! Use your youth power!
Go! There's no limit in the springtime of your life!
Our match is over.
I... lost?
I'm the one who wants to cry.
I tied to someone like you.
What?
Here.
You bloomed into a beautiful flower.
Ino...
But...
Next time we fight, I'm going to do more than make you pass out.
Also, I have no intention of giving Sasuke-kun to you.
Same to you!
Fifth match, Tenten and Temari, step up.
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?
