Naruto and his team begin the first exam, a written test. The exam proctor is a special jonin (upper rank ninja) named Ibiki Morino, who is an infamous expert in interrogation.

With the threat of failure hanging over their heads, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura try everything they know to pass the grueling survival test.

In the seventh match, Naruto clashes against Kiba, who brings along his dog Akamaru.

Naruto finally explodes! His anger against Haku, who defeated Sasuke, unleashes the power of the Nine-tailed Fox.

Realizing time is of the essence, Kakashi decides to use the Sharingan once again to defeat Zabuza.

Thinking of Haku, Naruto angrily confronts Zabuza. Zabuza is devastated by the loss of Haku, the only person he could trust in the world.

Seeing Naruto furiously fight back against the Grass ninja, Sasuke realizes that he was wrong to think about fleeing the scene of a battle.

Cousins Hinata and Neji of the Hyuga clan confront each other in the eighth match.

Naruto and his fellow participants arrive at the Forest of Death, the site of the second part of the Chunin Exam.

The 21 ninjas that passed the second exam assemble for their next challenge.
