Special Report: Live from the Forest of Death!

== Synopsis ==
Naruto is waiting in front of the Forest of Death to begin the second stage of the Chūnin Exams. He notices a square rock following him. The rock explodes, and the Konohamaru ninja squad appears. The kids tell Naruto they are here for an interview. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura recap their adventures up to this point complete with their own respective biases. Konohamaru interviews Naruto, who shares his opinion of the rest of Team 7 but mainly brags about himself and his abilities. Moegi interviews Sakura, who explains different techniques, but focuses on Sasuke and Kakashi. Udon interviews Sasuke, who tells them that Naruto's recap is more fantasy than reality. Sasuke also lists the different abilities of the other Genin but says that he is better than all of them. Naruto and Sasuke start arguing, but Sakura reminds them that they have to work together. After the interview, Konohamaru and his friends leave.
== Trivia ==
* This is the first filler episode of the Naruto anime.
