Episode Summaries

Naruto, Sakura, and Team 10 take on the oncoming challenges in order to find the secret technique and break the previous record set by the Fourth Hokage, but Naruto's impulsive action leads the group into various troubles. While Naruto and his friends search for the former Hokage's legacy in the temple, the fifteen shinobi of Amegakure come up from behind and use Grudge Rain in an attempt to take them out, flooding them inside. In order to practise using Chidori on moving targets, Kakashi sends Sasuke to the temple, where he proceeds to use it on the Ame-nin.

Naruto and the others find the scroll, only for it to read "there are no shortcuts to becoming to a ninja". The others realise that Guy set the whole thing up to hone their skills and reflect how they began the day with individual goals whilst ending it with the hope that at least a Konoha shinobi passes the exams; Naruto, however, decides that the scroll's true meaning is to partake in the entire obstacle course once more, but to take the longer route.
