CHUNIN EXAM SITE
The first round of the Chunin Exams will now begin!
Why did you decide to host the exam at this moment?
We used to think the Shinobi World was peaceful,
but we've now learned that it faces many threats.
Therefore, we had a need to reexamine the village's defenses.
I hear that other villages
are hosting Chunin Exams of their own as well.
Yes. All the villages need captain-level chunin
to provide military strength.
Only teams with individuals who have scored
more than an average of 70 points
will be able to move into the second round.
In other words, if there are three of you,
you need a total of 210 points,
or if there are two of you,
you need a total of 140 points to pass.
Working together to prevent being caught by the proctors
is part of a shinobi's skill set.
So if you're caught cheating, you'll be disqualified on the spot.
You're disqualified.
The Chunin Exams Resume
Do you think I'll pass?
I think you probably did well on the written exam!
Team Seven's gained exceptional experience from your missions,
so it wouldn't be unusual if you all became chunin!
I guess all that's left is technical skill!
You might have a chance.
I'm not so sure about that.
I'm not very good at ninjutsu.
Even if I move on to the next round,
I'm worried that I'll be holding Iwabe and Metal back.
Don't lapse into that bad habit of yours.
Don't give up before you even do anything!
Boruto...
Even if only one member of our team becomes a chunin in this exam,
we'll be able to take on B-rank or higher missions on our own.
Don't you think that's amazing?
Yeah, I do.
In that case, shout what you're feeling right now!
I'm going to become a chunin!
That's the spirit, Denki!
CHUNIN EXAM FIRST ROUND QUALIFYING TEAMS 5 7 9 10 15 22 25 31 40
Wow, Team 7 and Team 5 made it!
I had no intention of failing the written test.
I know you're happy about it.
I bet you stayed up all night studying, didn't you?
Not really...
Denki! Thank you! I'm so glad we're on the same team!
I am overwhelmed with emotion as well!
To think, we passed the first round!
You're both overreacting!
Whatever the case, this is great!
Is this really the time to be celebrating?
We're all going to become rivals
in the next round's test on technical skills.
I'll be cheering you on, Sarada.
You seem pretty relaxed about this.
Shikadai is already a chunin,
so we're not in that much of a rush.
That's right!
We're already taking on B-rank missions on our own.
Try to be a little more enthusiastic...
This means you can finally become a chunin, you know?
What's this? Acting as if you're already chunin?
Those are mine!
I hear you played a big role in the fight against the Otsutsuki,
Boruto Uzumaki.
Who are you?
I'm Kaito Kawanami of Team 9.
I was your senior at the Academy,
but I'll let you speak to me casually
like we're in the same class.
I wish you the best of luck.
That guy's a little too friendly.
Kaito Kawanami...
It seems he's been doing a lot of missions overseas.
That explains why I haven't seen him around before.
First off, I'd like to congratulate you on passing the first round.
For this Chunin Exam,
our goal is to be able to recruit shinobi
from varied fields of expertise
like communications, medicine, and sensing.
All right!
A deep understanding of Scientific Ninja Tools
is also required for chunin
because it proves they have broad knowledge
of jutsu and the natural sciences.
Everyone in the village has been feeling uneasy
since Isshiki's attack,
so this Chunin Exam is also meant to reassure everyone.
I'd like you to show us everything you've got.
We'll announce the details for the second round
before we begin tomorrow.
Make sure you get a good night's rest in preparation.
– Yes, sir! – Yes, sir!
I'm home!
Here, have some! You like taiyaki, don't you?
What's this all of a sudden?
It's creepy.
There's no need to hold back.
You're not a shinobi yet,
so you can't get paid for missions, right?
Well, when I become a chunin,
I'll treat you to even better things to eat.
What's with him?
Seeing the way he's acting;
I'd say that he passed the first round.
That's so stupid.
Oh, mom gets angry if you eat anything before dinner!
That's so stupid.
Boruto, I'm coming in.
Dad!
Can't sleep?
Not really...
I was just thinking about various strategies.
Since I really embarrassed myself in the last exam, you know?
I know your strengths better than anyone.
Just do what you normally do and you'll be fine, ya know.
Dad!
I'm going to do my best,
so look forward to that.
I will.
Good night.
ENTRANCE
What a boring entrance.
But isn't it nice how peacefully ordinary it is?
Let's hurry up and go.
Tsubaki!
Here's an amulet for good luck!
We all have a matching set!
Becoming a chunin might not mean much to you, though.
It does mean a lot to me.
This is the perfect opportunity to prove the strength of we samurai.
We shall be victorious!
You're right!
Let's show 'em what we've got!
Oh, this looks like the spot, doesn't it?
Let's just get this over with already.
I wish you guys would be a little more enthusiastic.
Shikadai...
There's not much I can do about that.
I just can't get fired up.
Just like your metabolism.
Are you okay with being left behind by everyone else?
Huh?
Also, if you become a chunin, you'll get paid more for missions,
which means you'll get to eat even more of your favorite foods.
What?!
I can eat anything I want, as much as I want?
No, I just said you can eat your favorite foods...
Let's go, Chubs!
Ahh, I'm fired up and ready to burn!
What a drag.
Huh?
I had no idea this place existed.
Chunin Exams in the past used to be held here.
DO NOT ENTER
We'll be simulating actual battle conditions
to judge your potential as captain.
Injured subordinates have been left behind enemy lines
within the forest.
As captain, you must save them and bring them back here.
Unlike the first round, you'll be on your own.
You've got 45 minutes.
There are a total of ten subordinates
left behind in the forest.
Ten?
Which means...
The early bird catches the worm!
Out of the 26 of you here, only ten will pass...
Which means the first ones to move have the advantage!
Nothing personal, you guys!
We're now down to 23.
This forest is crawling with hungry creatures, so be careful.
Why didn't you tell us that first?
That's not all.
Chunin acting as enemies will be lying in wait for you.
Don't let your guard down.
Just to confirm, even if we save a subordinate,
if we go over time,
we won't be able to move on to the next round, right?
The next round?
You know, the third round of the exam.
DO NOT ENTER
There is no third round.
What?
I see...
Seriously?
Which means that if we pass this test,
we'll finally become chunin.
That's right, Boruto.
Stop being so friendly with me!
You're really wound up.
Damn it!
Boruto, just focus!
Let's make sure we all pass!
– Okay! – Okay!
WARNING: YOU WILL DIE
Don't worry!
Even if you lose an arm or two,
we have the Leaf's best medical staff standing by!
Now then, let the second round of the Chunin Exam begin!
We have only 45 minutes to do this, huh?
It doesn't seem like we have enough time to search together as a team.
From here on, we're on our own.
A shinobi reads the hidden meanings behind hidden meanings...
This test is probably full of traps
meant to test our cool and judgment skills.
Be careful, you two.
Meet you back at the finish line!
Damn it! I messed up.
You're a subordinate, correct? Come, let's go.
In terms of technical ability, Tsubaki is already at chunin-level.
Yeah, she's giving the Leaf Shinobi some stiff competition.
This smell—!
Oh, Miss Mirai! Am I the first one here?
I've been waiting for you.
Yes! Lucky me!
Oh, you have a campfire!
This forest is so damp and cold, isn't it?
Please hurry and come with me!
Hold on.
Don't you think it's odd for a shinobi left behind enemy lines,
to take the risk of lighting a campfire?
Huh?
AMULET
When you become a chunin,
you need to pay close attention to many things on the battlefield.
Those who fall for enemy traps
still don't meet those requirements.
Someone please take this girl to the medical team!
– Yes, ma'am! – Yes, ma'am!
Let's show these genin newbies how skilled we chunin are.
– All right! – All right!
If we end up letting a lot of them to pass...
no dinner for you tonight!
– A-All right! – A-All right!
I can't believe we've been disqualified this quickly!
This is too soon!
Why is this happening?!
I found him first!
Whatever! I was first!
No, it was me!
Me!
Hold on, you guys! We're in the middle of the exam.
Hurry up and decide who will save me—
– Shut up! Stay out of this! – Shut up! Stay out of this!
I'll stay here and defend!
Now's your chance, Houki. Go!
Okay!
Give me a break!
Hey, Chubs! Your pace dropped!
Easy for you to say...
It can't be helped! I can't carry all of you!
Oh, I know! I can just roll!
I'm so smart!
Hey, what are you going to do?
Human Boulder!
– Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll! – A-Are you trying to kill me?!
I hope that guy's all right...
They should be around here.
Is someone here?
Hey, I'm glad you found me!
I analyzed the surrounding terrain
to determine where you might be hiding.
Well done!
By the way, you're rather slight... Are you gonna be okay?
There's no need to worry!
Despite how I look, I've been training and...
What?!
Well, I'll leave it to you!
Physical strength aside...
His broad range of knowledge, the ability to analyze data,
the ability to formulate strategies is more than sufficient.
His potential to become a chunin is quite high.
That's not all.
He has a lot of guts too.
I'm gonna... be a chunin!
I'm getting tired of waiting!
I wonder if everyone got disqualified...
What?!
I've been looking for you!
Thank you so much!
Hey, come on! You can go home now!
I messed up.
I can't believe I got so nervous and made myself sick!
Sarada, are you doing all right?
Yeah, we're almost at the finish line.
We're finally going to become chunin, aren't we?
I wonder if Boruto's already made it to the finish line?
I don't see him, but...
it doesn't really matter, though.
W-What was that for, Sarada?
I don't know who you are,
but you're really bad at transformation!
Mitsuki would never say he doesn't care about Boruto!
Oh?
You're pretty good.
Let's see how much you've improved!
Just a little bit further, ya know!
It's you!
I made the right call, placing a transmitter on you.
Back then, huh?
Good job, Boruto.
I'll make sure to deliver her safely to the finish line.
That idiot!
You reap what you sow...
Is this really okay?
This is a special situation. Come on, let's hurry.
You'll still be able to make it.
Oh, but...
He's already disqualified.
Just let the medical team handle this.
But we need to check and see if he's all right.
If you go to help, you'll run out of time.
Ouch!
What are you doing here?
You're bleeding!
Put pressure on it with this.
Trying to act cool?
Hurry up and just go!
Don't you care if you get disqualified?!
If you have the strength to yell at me,
I guess there's nothing to worry about.
Stop.
You're always standing out on flashy missions...
Quit grumbling.
All right! I'll leave the rest to the medical team.
You hit your head, so don't try to move right away.
You won't be able to make it at this point.
You don't know that for sure.
I don't give up until the very end!
You just want to stand out, don't you?
You shouldn't give up next time, either!
Sarada! You barely made it!
Where's Boruto?!
Well, he's still not here.
What?!
Boruto!
Boruto! You're almost here!
– Boruto! – Hurry!
– Just a little further! – You can do it!
Stay right there!
Damn it!
I was so close!
What happened, Boruto?
Well, I got a bit distracted.
Damn it. You're such a good person.
That's something you would do. It's great!
Yeah, well...
Attention, everyone!
We'll announce everyone who passed!
1. TSUBAKI KUROGANE
2. HOUKI TAKETORI
3. INOJIN YAMANAKA
4. CHOCHO AKIMICHI
Tsubaki Kurogane! Houki Taketori! Inojin Yamanaka! Chocho Akimichi!
Denki Kaminarimon! Wasabi Izuno! Iwabe Yuino!
– All right! – You did it!
Mitsuki! Sarada Uchiha!
And in addition to these nine...
Boruto Uzumaki!
I passed?
Really?!
You were being judged on your overall performance.
You can't always carry out a mission successfully.
But we can't allow someone who would abandon an injured ally
in enemy territory to become a chunin.
I figured that was the case!
As they say, you gotta read the hidden meanings
behind the hidden meanings.
I suppose this is my true skill.
You're just incredibly lucky!
Every member of Team Seven is a chunin now!
– Yeah! – Yeah!
We've finally done it!
You did it, Tsubaki!
Now I shall announce the details of the final test!
What? The final test?!
We didn't hear anything about that!
Maybe you missed my explanation?
But... you said there wasn't a third test.
She said there wasn't a third test, but there is a final test.
What?
What the heck?!
The final test will be a one-on-one battle.
In other words, you'll have to fight each other.
A one-on-one battle?
Which means, I have to fight you guys?
This means... only half of you will become chunin.
So there's a final test?!
I thought we'd be chunin after this!
There's no way we'd let you become a chunin that easily, right?
Your abilities to adapt to the situation
and enact an appropriate response is part of the test.
For that reason,
we'll announce your opponent on the day of the test.
Tomorrow's a rest day.
Take that time to prepare in any way you like.
Next time on Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:
"The Night Before the Final Round"
THE NIGHT BEFORE THE FINAL ROUND
Whoever I end up fighting, I'm not holding back!
