Naruto

Jiraiya, one of the legendary Three Ninja, suddenly appears before Ebisu and Naruto. Naruto gives Jiraiya the nickname, "Pervy Sage."

The Sound Ninja Dosu appears before Gaara and intends on defeating Gaara. But Gaara beats him soundly. Stealthily watching them are a Jonin of the Sand Village and Kabuto!

Naruto continues training under Jiraiya to master the "Summoning Jutsu" which enables him to call forth various living beasts. But he has a hard time controlling the Chakra of the Nine-Tailed Fox...

It is three weeks since Naruto began training under Jiraiya. And Naruto has been on the brink of collapse many times.

Naruto is finally able to draw out the Nine-Tail Chakra and utilize the "Summoning Jutsu." Gamabunta appears and does not believe that Naruto summoned him.

On the day of the test, Gaara disappears from the inn where the Sand Ninja are staying and goes to Hidden Leaf Hospital.

The day of the Exam finally arrives. Naruto's first opponent is Neji Hyuga.

Finally, Chunin Exam starts with the eight Ninja who qualified in the preliminaries. But Sasuke is nowhere to be found.

Naruto is unable to use his Shadow Clone Jutsu against Neji who can see chakra points!

Naruto and Neji's battle continue with Neji showing enormous power.

Defeated by Naruto, Neji is being taken to the hospital, when Neji's uncle Hiashi appears.

Sasuke's match is postponed and suddenly, it is Shikamaru's turn. He has shown no eagerness to fight, thinking that his is merely a secondary match...

In the Shikamaru and Temari's match, Shikamaru who had the upper hand suddenly makes a surprising decision!

Sasuke and Gaara'a anticipated match begins. Gaara eerily talks to himself, as though addressing someone.

Sauske's speed and moves are identical to Lee's Taijutsu. But Gaara is not an opponent who can be defeated with just Taijutsu.

During the match, someone has used Genjutsu to put everyone in the arena to sleep. The Sand Ninja led by Orochimaru have begun their plan to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village.

The Sound and Sand Ninja, along with Orochimaru, begin their move to destroy Hidden Leaf Village. The arena has become a battleground.

Along with Pakkun, Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru are in hot pursuit of Sasuke. Pakkun senses nine of Orochimaru's men coming after them.

Orochimaru traps the Hokage inside a barrier and continue to battle.

Sasuke finally catches up to Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro. Kankuro escapes with Gaara leaving Temari to face Sasuke.

The battle between the Hokage and Orochimaru rages on. Finally, the Hokage resorts to a Jutsu unknown to Orochimaru, the Sealing Jutsu known as "Reaper Death Seal."

Shino appears as Sasuke and Kankuro battle. Leaving Shino to handle Kankuro, Sasuke goes after Gaara.

Half of Gaara's body has transformed and Sasuke continues his battle against him.

By the time Naruto and Sakura catch up, Sasuke has exhausted his strength and collapsed.

Naruto is helpless against Gara's immense power. While Naruto declares that he fights for his comrades, Gaara says he fights for himself.
