    Anko tells the genin the rules for the next test in the chunin exam. There are 13 Earth Scrolls and 13 Heaven Scrolls and each of the 26 teams receives one of the scrolls. The object is to survive the Forest of Death and get to the temple in the middle of the forest with both scrolls. Now half of the teams or better will be eliminated from the exam. After receiving their scrolls, the teams gather at one of the gates leading to the forest. Once the gates are opened the teams will have five days to complete this part of the exam. Already, it seems that several teams are after Team 7.....moreless

    The Chunin Exam Phase two begins. This episode starts with the explanation about the next phase of the Chunin exams. Everyone as always is thinking about what they'll have to do. It was nice to see what people were thinking about the exams. When the Chunin exam finally begins and the gates are open I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. People are clever I just have to say. Hinata, Shino and Kiba seemed like they had a plan on top of a plan, I mean they got their scroll in the beginning of the test. Naruto's team was looking well although Naruto was captured, Sasuke saw through the disguise and yet again Sakura did nothing. This episode is the beginning of a new arc. It is a great episode because there is much action.moreless

    The candidates that made it through the first part of the chunin selection exam are briefed on their next assisgnment: to obtain both a "heaven" and an "earth" scroll and make it to the tower in the center of the forest in the time period of 5 days. But if one member of a team dies or is unable to continue on, that team fails. It hadn't even been 10 minutes when a team had already been caught in a trap and attacked by humungous leeches. (EWWW!!!) (Not sure why Ibiki is considered a sadsit when Anko was the one laughing when she heard the ensnared team scream.) Naruto's team is getting off to a rough start too. Naruto goes off to use the bathroom, but the person who comes back isn't Naruto. Not even 15 minutes into the second portion of the exam and Team 7 already has a challenge.moreless

    This was an awsome episode. It sets everything up for the rest of the series! the first few minutes in the forest and Sasuke goes and get's himself cursed! Naruto goes unconcious, and Sakura does absolutly nothing. I hate how Sakura just sits there and doesn't fit back. Even when her teammates were unconcious, Rock Lee had to come and save her. Shikamaru's team fights the most, although they and Lee get beat, at least they tried! When Sasuke wakes up and asks Sakura who did this to her, I thought that was cute. It proves he really cares about her. When he broke the sound ninja's arm, I was amazed. I also thought it was cute how Sakura stopped Sasuke by hugging him. That was so cute! And Naruto was clueless as usual. I also like how Tenten wakes up Lee by shaking him violetly.moreless
