Turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength
Even if you get lost, let's start walking
One more time
Are you really happy,
when you're always meeting to someone's expectations?
Even if you change to who you really wanna be
Will you always have a great smile?
Dreaming of only the beginning, I wake up
and someday, I'll live on my own.
Yes, precious things are never in shape
You never know what it is when you get it or lose it
Turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength
Even if you get lost, let's start walking
One more time
Winner, Temari.
I'm tired.
What a waste!
Why?!
He had a good chance of becoming a Chuunin!
He's just being himself.
Really... I can't tell if he's serious about this or not...
I don't understand, either...
But his intelligence and strategies aren't Genin level.
If a basic platoon carried out this mission,
his victory would've been determined at the point Temari was captured.
I guess he won the fight, but lost the match.
It's unfortunate that he doesn't seem motivated...
But in exchange, he didn't lose his head and panic during the battle...
That's why he was able to retreat calmly as he determined that the situation was bad.
That comes from his calm decision-making ability.
If we look at the qualities expected from a Chuunin...
Shikamaru possesses the most important attribute, leadership.
If we look at his platoon leader attributes...
he understands he needs to protect the platoon from danger over completing a mission.
Yeah.
"I accomplished the mission, but I got everyone in the platoon killed" doesn't work.
You need to be able to weigh the risks with the mission, and think about survival first...
or you're not worthy of becoming a Chuunin.
If we look at that point, that Hyuuga guy and Naruto fail.
They're okay as a Genin, though.
But I do think Shikamaru gave up too quickly.
What do you think?
What, you ask...?
He probably has a better chance than Naruto.
Why did he give up?!
What an idiot!
Now I'm getting mad!
I'll go lecture him!
Perhaps the person who's going to become a Chuunin is...
You idiot!
Shut up, you super idiot.
Why did you give up?!
That's a matter of the past, now. It's all good now.
No, it's not!
You almost won that match!
Put that topic aside,
And you gave up right before you won...
and let's get ready to watch the next match.
Totally unacceptable!
Next one?
Sasuke!
Clash! The Moment Konoha (Leaf) Dances
And Sand Wriggles!
Clash! The moment Konoha (Leaf) dances and San wriggles!
The next match is finally the Uchiha one!
Yeah, but who's this Gaara, his opponent?
Hmm... But I bet he's nothing compared to an Uchiha.
Did you hear? The Uchiha kid is going to give up this match!
Are you serious?
Yeah.
I heard that he got hurt badly during the training before this tournament.
Oh, man!
I took a day off just so that I could watch his match!
Don't disappoint me!
This match will be won by Uchiha.
You can't quite say that. I am expecting something from the Sand rookie.
I know I am right about this.
No, in the world of fighting...
Something always happens... It is unpredictable.
What's wrong?!
Hokage-sama, about Uchiha Sasuke...
He hasn't arrived yet.
I have no choice, then...
I cannot let the guests wait like this.
Ten more minutes.
Can we try and wait for ten more minutes?
But!
The guests have been waiting for this match.
It would be cruel to cancel it.
We have waited a long time already. Waiting an additional ten minutes is nothing.
Hokage-sama...
Uchiha, what's wrong?!
When is it going to start? Hurry!
Kazekage-dono, you have a point.
Then may I extend the waiting period an additional ten minutes?
Go tell Genma about this.
Sir.
The Uchiha will have to give up the match at this rate.
I see.
A ten minute extension, eh?
Sasuke-kun...
Hey, is that...
You two are...
Man, what is that idiot doing?!
He hasn't arrived yet?!
Sasuke-kun...
Please.
Welcome, you two.
Please, hurry to the stage, now.
Yes!
Okay, let's go, Lee!
Yes!
Most of the matches in the first round are finished.
The only match left for this round is Uchiha Sasuke against Gaara.
What about Naruto-kun and Neji's match?
That one turned out rather interesting.
The Hyuuga lost.
Neji lost... to Naruto-kun?
Is that so...
You did it...
Naruto-kun.
You really are such a...
Where's the Uchiha?!
Put out the Uchiha!
Uchiha!
Hey, time is drawing near.
Is he really going to come?
He will.
I am sure of it.
Geez, what is that Sasuke doing?!
What is the Uchiha doing?!
It looks like the rumor that he got injured badly was true.
If he loses by default, I will win this bet.
Thirty more seconds...
Sasuke-kun... Please come...
Sasuke... hurry up and come!
You're in trouble if you don't!
Time is up. I guess that is it.
About the final match...
Time is up, so...
See? He's here.
I'm sorry we're late.
Sasu...
Name?
Uchiha Sasuke.
Sasuke-kun!
He made it in time.
Lee-san!
Geez, he caused a lot of trouble for us, and he doesn't look sorry at all.
You were awfully late.
I thought that you weren't going to come because you were afraid to fight me.
And who was the one who said that he'll definitely come?
You won the first round?
Of course!
Don't get so excited over it, idiot.
Well, um...
It's hard to ask this after we've entered the stage with such a flashy performance...
But did Sasuke get... disqualified?
He must've caught your habit of being late.
So, is he...
He's fine.
Sasuke's match was put on hold...
And he arrived just in time, so he didn't get disqualified.
I'm glad to hear that.
You better not lose to that guy!
I know.
I wan to fight you, as well.
Sasuke!
I want to fight you, as well.
I know.
Sasuke-kun!
Uchiha's match is going to start!
Even after all that hard work, she's cheering for Sasuke already...
I feel sorry for Shikamaru.
I'm being treated like nothing now.
I guess it can't be helped...
Since I'm waiting to see this, too.
Sakura, your team is amazing.
How so?
Because that Naruto beat ¨that Hyuuga Neji.
And Sasuke-kun is an elite Uchiha.
And it looks like everyone has been itching to see Sasuke-kun's match.
Sasuke-kun is going to fight Gaara of the Sand, who I could not defeat...
And Naruto-kun defeated the Neji I wished to defeat...
Why...?
Why do I feel so...
...mortified?
Lee...
It's about to begin.
Gaara, come down.
Naruto, let's go up.
Okay.
Let me at least use the stairs when I go up.
What?
You're still mad that I pushed you down?
This looks bad...
I haven't seen Gaara like this in a while.
Hey! Gaara!
Do you remember the mission...?
Don't talk to Gaara right now...
He'll kill you.
Sir!
Hey, let's go.
Hey, hurry up.
In life, nothing good comes out of hurrying.
What is it?
Low level tournaments like this Chuunin exam are good for betting...
Quite a few feudal lords come here just for that reason.
So... can you throw the match?
Hey now, at least say something.
Are you too scared to say anything?
Help...!
Stop! Stop!
If those two weren't there...
He would've probably killed us.
I've never seen someone kill people like that without any hesitation.
Sasuke may have trouble with him.
Sasuke...
So it finally begins...
Everyone makes mistakes
it's nothing to be ashamed of
Don't let this scar go to waste
Be able to smile as you walk
Yes, breathe in the air Lift your face to the sky and jump
If it rains, take a break Go where the wind takes you
So many regrets Don't let this scar go to waste
Let's go carve the badges in our chest Yes, it's show time, life begins now
Everyone makes mistakes
It's nothing to be ashamed of
Don't let this scar go to waste
Be able to smile as you walk
Turn your sadness into wind and continue to move forward
Continue to move forward...
