Episode Summaries

Naruto looks around for Sasuke, who hasn't shown up, and Shikamaru wonders why Dosu hasn't shown up as well. The Anbu also start looking for Sasuke. The "Fourth Kazekage" arrives with his bodyguards, and the Third Hokage commences the final exam. Genma announces that the first match will be Naruto vs Neji. Before starting, Naruto repeats what he said before, that he will defeat him. The match begins with Naruto throwing a few kunai. He then attacks Neji directly, who dodges and uses Gentle Fist, but misses hitting his tenketsu.

Naruto uses Shadow Clone Technique and charges with groups of clones, which are skilfully made short work of. The real Naruto remains standing, with Neji saying that fate is determined at birth and being Hokage is chosen by destiny. Naruto gets angry at his cruel words and concludes that he won’t give up so easily, opting to now use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
