"Perfect"

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura have made it to the temple with the Heaven and Earth scrolls. They read a sign posted on the wall and figure out that they must open the scrolls now. Nauto and Sakura open the scrolls and a summoning jutsu is released. Iruka senei appears. Iruka congratulates Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura for completing the second chunin exam. Sakura asks Iruka about the sign on the wall and he explains what it means. If a ninja is lacking knowledge he should study harder and if a ninja is physically weak they should train that much harder every day. Now all the genin are to assemble in a room to hear instructions from the third Hokage....moreless

Kinda Boring.

"Great"

By TheBunnySage, Jan 30, 2008

This episode is the last one for The Chunin Exams arc: Phase Two, what the point of the scrolls were and the concern of which Iruka still has for Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. This was a good way to end an arc. The explanation that the 3rd Hokage gave for the preliminary round was informative and it made sense. This episode also showed the concern in which Sakura had for Sasuke. Sakura needs to learn not to get into anyone's business. I know she cares about Sasuke but she just needs to learn not to be so nosy. The episode was informative about the exam.moreless

"Good"

By Empoleon64, Aug 31, 2007

The episode started out with Iruka discribing what the scolls meant. Meanwhile, Kabuto was helping Orochimaru. Yup, he works for Orochimaru. He's a spy for Orochimaru. Guess what? The nine rookies are back together again. The sand and sounds made it too. So did Team 9. Anko and the examinators was talking about Orochimaru and how the ANBU cannot defeat him. Anyways, it's time to start battle. There was so many candidates left that they have to do a preliminary round. The 3rd Hokage explained the rules. Who will battle who? Find out on the next episode of Naruto .moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- The meaning of the scrolls is to teach the Genin a lesson about being a Chunin. The lesson the Hokage wrote about being a Chunin is that, it takes both strength and knowledge to be a ninja, and that which ever you lack you must obtain. The Heaven scroll represents knowledge and the Earth scroll represents strength, a Chunin must have both to succeed.
