I love you.

Thank you.

He's late!

Just sit down.

I don't want to. How come our teacher's the only one that's late? I'm ready to

roll. Believe it.

The other group's already met their new teachers and took off on some adventure

or something. And Iruka -sensei's gone, too.

We know, okay?

Hey, what are you doing?

Naruto!

That's what he gets for coming late.

Surprise!

asking for trouble. You know you shouldn't do that.

I love stuff like this!

Our teacher's a Jonin, an elite ninja.

You think he'd fall for that?

Yeah, Sasuke's right. You're so clueless, Naruto.

I got him! He totally fell for it!

Sensei, I told him not to do it, but he wouldn't listen. I'd never do anything

like that.

Perfect shot!

He actually fell for that cheap trick. Is this guy really a Joanie?

Hmm, how can I put this?

My first impression of this group... You're a bunch of idiots.

Pass or fail!

Survival test!

All right, why don't you introduce yourselves one at a time?

Introduce ourselves?

Well, what are we supposed to say?

Things you like, things you hate, dreams for the future, hobbies, things like

that.

Why don't you tell us the first? I mean, before we talk, tell us about you so we

can see how it's supposed to work.

Me?

I'm Kakashi Hatake.

Things I like and things I hate.

I don't feel like telling you that.

Huh?

My dream for the future.

Never really thought about it.

As for my hobbies, I have lots of hobbies.

That was total useless. All he really told us was his name.

Okay,

your turn. You on the right. You first.

Believe it! I'm not... I like instant ramen in a cup, and I really like the

ramen Iruka -sensei got me at the Ichiraku Noodle Shop.

But I hate the three minutes you have to wait after you pour the water in the

ramen cup. My hobby is eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them. And

my future dream is to be the greatest Hokage!

Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me

somebody, somebody important.

Well, he's grown up in a very interesting way.

All right. Next.

I'm Sakura Haruno. What I like, uh... I mean, the person I like is... Uh,

my hobby is, uh... My dream for the future is...

And what do you hate?

Naruto!

Girls her age are more interested in boys than in ninja training.

Last one.

My name is Sasuke Uchiha.

I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything.

What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality.

I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone.

I hope he doesn't mean me.

Sasuke is so hot.

Just as I thought.

Good. You're each unique and you have your own ideas.

We'll have our first mission tomorrow.

What kind of mission are we going to have?

It's a task that the four of us will do together.

What, what, what, what?

A survival exercise.

Huh? Survival exercise?

I thought we were supposed to have a real mission, not more practice.

We already did this stuff at the academy. That's how we got here.

This is not like your previous training.

So, uh, so, uh, what kind of training is it then?

Hey,

hold on. That's a normal question. What's so funny?

Well... If I tell you the answer, you're not going to like it.

Huh?

Of the 27 graduates who just came here, only nine will actually be accepted as

Genines. The other 18 will be weeded out and sent back to the academy.

In other words, this is a make -it -or -break -it pass -fail test, and the

chance that you'll fail is at least 66%. See?

Didn't I tell you you wouldn't like it?

That's crazy! We worked hard to get here. Believe it. What was that

test for anyway?

Oh, that. That was just to select candidates who might become Genine. Or

What?

That's how it is.

I decide whether you pass or fail.

Be at the designated training spot at 5 a .m. and bring your ninja gear.

Well, I...

I'm not going to be weeded out. People are going to look up to me someday.

I've got to pass this test.

Believe it. Believe it!

If I fail, I'll be separated from Sasuke. This is a trial of love.

That's it. You're dismissed.

Oh, tomorrow you better skip breakfast or else you'll puke.

Morning, everyone.

Ready for your first day?

Hey, you're late!

Well, a black cat crossed my path, so I had to take the long way.

Well, let's get started.

Here we go.

It's set for noon.

Your assignment is very simple. You just have to take these bells from me.

That's all there is to it.

If you can't get them by noon, you go without lunch.

You'll be tied to those posts, and you'll watch while I eat my lunch in

you.

But that's why... He told us not to eat breakfast to make it harder on us. Wait

a minute, there's three of us. How come there's only two belts?

Well, that way, at least one of you will end up tied to a post and ultimately

disqualified for failing to complete the mission.

That one goes back to the academy.

Then again...

All three of you could flunk out, too.

You can use any weapons, including shuriken. If you're not prepared to kill

you won't be able to take the bells.

Those weapons are too dangerous, Sensei!

Especially since you couldn't even dodge that eraser!

Class clowns are usually the weakest link. You can safely ignore them. Lowest

scores. Losers.

When I say start, you can begin.

Losers. Don't be in such a hurry.

I didn't say start yet.

He's so fast. I didn't even see it.

So this is a Jonin.

But... You came at me with the full intention of destroying me, so... How

say this? I'm actually starting to like you guys.

Get ready.

And... Start!

Iruka, what did you wish to see me about?

I don't think you came here merely to drink tea with me and chat, did you?

Naruto's been assigned to Squad 7.

The Jonin in charge of that group. Just how tough a trainer is he?

Kakashi, you mean.

You are concerned about him.

I am.

I heard a rumor about his training methods.

Hmm.

What's this?

All the trainees who've ever been assigned to him.

Those who passed and those who failed.

May I?

This... This is... Ninja must know how to conceal

their movement and hide effectively.

Well, they understand that, but they've hidden well.

Huh?

You and me, right now, fair and square.

Let's go.

Fool.

You know, compared to the others, you're a little bit weird.

Oh, yeah? The only thing weird here is your haircut.

Shinobi Battle Technique, Part 1.

Taijutsu, the physical art.

Taijutsu, that's hand -to -hand combat.

Then why is he reaching for a weapon?

What the...

What are you waiting for? Make your move.

But, I mean, why are you reading that book?

Why?

To find out what happens in the story, of course.

Don't let it bother you. With your weak attacks, it doesn't really matter if I'm

reading or whatever.

I'm going to crush you!

Now you're mine!

Don't let your enemy get behind you all the time.

A hand sign to focus his chakra.

Is that the sign of the tiger? That's dangerous.

He could destroy Naruto with that.

That hand sign is for a fire jutsu.

He's not just toying with Naruto.

He's going to demolish him.

Naruto, get out of there quick!

He's going to destroy you!

Too late.

Leave village secret finger jutsu!

That wasn't a hand sign at all. He just poked him.

Those two are just total idiots.

Okay, where was I?

That must be against the rules. He's a Jonin. We can't possibly match his

strength.

I'm not going to let it end like this.

I'll attack from the water.

Now!

It can't be.

This is even worse than the rumors.

Kakashi's test may be a bit more difficult than the others.

A bit more difficult?

Not a single student has ever passed his test.

That's true. They all tried, but not one of them could live up to Kakashi's

standards. So they were all eliminated.

What are you doing now?

You know you won't get lunch unless you take a bell by noon.

I know, I know! You told us already!

You look pretty wobbly for someone who's going to surpass the Hokage.

I must not eat breakfast.

How can I fight when I'm starving to death?

Breakfast?

I didn't even have dinner last night.

Really bad idea to go on a diet.

So, you caught me off guard. That's all it was. Believe it.

I'm so hungry I don't have any strength.

But I can't let that stop me. I've got to get one of those bells no matter

I'll find the strength somehow.

Believe it.

I'm gonna pass this test, and I'm not going back to the academy!

I WILL become a ninja!

Ha ha!

You're overconfident, Bente!

That's why you weren't ready for a Shadow Clone attack, my best jutsu!

Are they Naruto's?

They're real.

How could he do that?

Hmm.

It looks like the stories are true. He can create shadow clones.

If you ever lay a hand on my sensei, I'll kill you.

Show me what you can do, nine -tailed fox!

Those aren't just illusions.

They're solid clones.

He's mastered an extremely advanced jutsu.

It's a forbidden skill, and he defeated Mizuki with it.

Great technique, but I don't think you can maintain it for very long.

You talk like you're the best, Naruto, but you're still the worst student.

You can't beat me with this jutsu.

What? He got me from behind.

Didn't you say don't let your enemies get behind you? Good advice, Sensei.

Believe it.

I had one of my clones come out of the river. Then sneak up behind me, super

quiet.

Now this is for nailing me in the butt earlier.

When did Naruto get so cool?

A diversionary tactic.

You're mine and so are those bells!

Huh?

He's holding himself!

Naruto punched!

Naruto! Ouch!

It's you!

You're the jerk.

Why didn't you think of it?

He got you with a replacement jutsu, loser.

With this jutsu, you quickly switch your own body with an object.

So your enemy thinks he's attacking you, when he's actually attacking a log or

rock, leaving him open to a counterattack.

In this case, the Jonin let himself get caught, then switched bodies with one of

the Naruto clones.

So Naruto thought he was nailing him, but actually he was just attacking

himself. And that Jonin was so smooth.

He made Naruto look like a total moron.

A bell?

I must have got to him with my attack.

He dropped a bell!

Hey!

Hey! Let me down!

What is this?

Of course it was a trap.

That Jonin doesn't let down his guard, even when he's fighting a fool like

Naruto. Come on!

The belt!

Think before you use a jutsu, or else your opponent might use it against you.

Oh, and also, if the bait is obvious, don't take it.

A ninja must see through deception.

I'm telling you this because you don't get it. You think you get it, which is

not the same as actually getting it. Get it?

My chance.

He finally dropped his guard.

Won't you ever learn?

Never coming down. Breaking through the content.

Never falling down.

My knee is too shaken.

Like I will crawl.

Sneaking out the classroom.

By the buckle.

I'm all right. I'll be twice old.

But I didn't care.

Quitting is wasting.

For people like me.

Man,

at this rate, there's no way I can beat Kakashi -sensei. But if I don't get a

bell, I fail the test, and that is not an option.

He keeps saying, see through deception, which I would do if I had any idea what

he was talking about, but I don't.

How do I get my hands on one of those bells?

Next time, you failed Kakashi's final decision.

It might look bad, but don't count me out.
