A New Chapter Begins: The Chūnin Exam!

== Synopsis ==
After completing their mission in the Land of Waves, Team 7 returns to Konohagakure. Although Sasuke saved Naruto's life, their teamwork seems to have got even worse than before, with Naruto intent on beating Sasuke and causing him to mess up on subsequent missions. Kakashi decides their teamwork is off that day, and sends them all home. Before leaving, Sasuke tells Naruto in a matter-of-fact manner to simply get stronger, before telling Sakura who had suggested the two work on their own skills instead, that she was worse than Naruto.
Konohamaru and his two friends: Udon and Moegi would later stalk Naruto. As antics ensue, Konohamaru accidentally bumps into a foreign ninja who he then insults, causing the latter to threaten killing him. Naruto attempts to attack the newcomer, but is tripped by his invisible attack. Just as the mysterious ninja is about to hit Konohamaru, Sasuke saves the day, throwing a stone which forces the ninja to drop him. Just as he is about to attack Sasuke, another one appears, telling the latter to stop playing around. Meanwhile, all the jōnin are gathered along with the Third Hokage. He announces the Chūnin Exams will take place in seven days on July 1.
== Trivia ==
* The key Naruto uses to lock his door is fashioned like Pakkun, one of Kakashi's ninken.
