 == Synopsis ==
+[[Naruto]] goes to the entrance of the stadium where there's a banner announcing that the [[Chūnin Exams]] will be the next day. He eats at the [[Ramen Ichiraku]], [[Teuchi]] and [[Ayame]] gave him a big bowl of ramen, saying that his match will be tomorrow. The [[Ino–Shika–Chō (Previous)|previous Ino–Shika–Chō]] eats at a restaurant, with [[Inoichi]] being teased that he had a [[Ino Yamanaka|daughter]]. [[Chōza]] has an additional order, then [[Shikamaru]] appears, telling his father they need to go home. [[Temari]] and [[Kankurō]] are preparing their weapons, while [[Gaara]] is sitting on the rooftop. [[Neji]] and [[Tenten]] are shown to be practising, as well as [[Shino]]. The next day, Naruto meets [[Hinata]] where [[Team 7]] had their [[bell test]]. Hinata concludes that he may defeat Neji, causing Naruto to say that he liked people like Hinata and invites her to watch his fight against Neji. Hearing fireworks, he rushes to the stadium so he could make it in time. On his way, he sees [[Konohamaru]] who tells Naruto that he knows the shortcut to the stadium, but Konohamaru just brings him into trouble. Despite the trouble, Naruto finally arrives to the stadium.
-The episode starts off when in the battle arena in which the Chūnin Exams take place. In the front gate of the arena, stood Naruto. "Tomorrow…" was all Naruto could say. The scene changes to [[Ichiraku Ramen Bar]], where Naruto simply sat with no ramen. [[Teuchi]] gives [[Ayame]] a huge bowl of ramen and then gives to Naruto. Confused, "uh, Mr. Chef?" Teuchi only replies to eat up since Naruto was in the final competition. Naruto replies, "Okay! Thanks a lot Mr. Chef!"

-The scene changes to a bar, in which [[Shikaku Nara]], [[Inoichi Yamanaka]], and [[Chōza Akimichi]] are drunk. "Hey, I know how you feel (half drunk), daughters are a real drag." Inoichi replies. "Yep, I know how it feels like." Chōza then said. "Bah! It's not it really cares. Here, mister! One more order here;" He shows the waiter the menu. "These two pages, everything on 'em!" To their right, the door opens and [[Shikamaru]] comes in. "Wohoo! Reinforcements! Come in and order something from this menu!" Chōza shouted out. Ignoring him, Shikamaru goes up to his dad and says. "Hey, dad. Can we go home already?" Shikaku grunts and looks up at Shikamaru, "Wha? Listen, don't be a drag; you're supposed to live up at this festival." He then chugs almost all the liquor from the small box he's holding. Shikamaru then doesn't care and says that he's in the final competition and doesn't want to babysit his father. "Wha? You're in it? Seriously?" Shikamaru was shocked of how drunk he is and says: "Nevermind. Just forget it."

-The scene changes out the road of [[Konoha]], Naruto seems to walk by himself with everyone talking. He looks down and can't seem to talk. [[Temari]] and [[Kankurō]] prepares their weapons and thinks about tomorrow. [[Gaara]] was up on the roof of their apartment and says: "Tomorrow…is a full moon." Back at Naruto's bed, Naruto simply looks outside and can't seem to sleep.
-On the next day, everyone seems to get ready for the [[Chūnin Exams]]. Out on the woods, stood [[Neji]], in which a lot of [[kunai]] and other weapons were on the floor, circling Neji. "You did it. Not even a scratch." [[Tenten]] said to Neji. "All right, that's enough for warm up, let's go." Shino looks out a river and looks at his destruction bugs on his hands. Naruto wakes up from the alarm. ''So much for good sleep, I felt so nervous. And right off the bat is him…" Naruto then thinks back when Kakashi said about opening points of chakra in which the Sharingan can't see. Naruto also thinks back when Lee said that Neji Hyūga is the strongest Leaf Genin from last year. Naruto simply looks, daydreaming.
-The scene changes to the front gate of [[Konoha]], the visitors come in and [[Third Hokage]] says it begins. Naruto walks to the front gate and hears a conversation. "Hey, the first match is Neji Hyūga right?" "Yeah! There's no way we can simply miss that match! He's of course going to win." Naruto then stops on the road and starts laughing. "Hey! I can summon a huge toad now. Hahahaha." Naruto was back into his own mood, ''all those scary people, they look so tough.'' The scene changes to where Naruto goes to a training site and sees [[Hinata]] at one of the posts. "Hinata? You already recovered from your injuries?" Hinata was shocked to see Naruto and immediately hides behind the post. "Uh, what are you doing here Naruto? Doesn't the Chūnin Exam start today?"
-Naruto replies it is and says that wanted to pay a visit here because this was the place where he became [[Genin]]. Hinata still asks why he's here. "oh, oh, it's nothing." Naruto turns away from Hinata, "It's not like it really matters, now does it?" Hinata then apologizes. Naruto sighs and asks that [[Neji]] is a relative of Hinata, in which Hinata said yes. Naruto then said that he was strong, Hinata then says yes again. Naruto seems to look depressed, and Hinata notices and says: "But you're strong too." Naruto then agrees and laughs that he is. After some 10 second silence, Hinata started to talk.
-"You know at the time when you cheered for me? It just felt like that I got even stronger. I started to like myself more after the prelims and I think I changed…It's all thanks to you, Naruto." Hinata then returns to her index finger pointing. Naruto then grins happily: "Really? I must really be influential!" Naruto then looks down. "Hey, Hinata, I may look strong to you, but I just always act tough and I end up failing in frustration." From hearing that, Hinata abruptly said: "That's not true! In my eyes, I think that you're a proud failure. You always have the guts and determination to go back up, even when you fail. I'm not saying that you're perfect or anything, it's that, you're an incredibly strong person."
-Naruto stares in shock, and finally does a real happy smile. "Thanks, Hinata. I was really depressed to verse Neji, but now I feel like I can verse anybody." Naruto then turns to leave. He turns back and says: "You know Hinata; I always thought you're…" ''Thought what? What?'' "Gloomy, timid, always terrified and basically completely weird." Hinata immediately looks down and sighs. Naruto then turns to leave and says: "But, I like ''people like you''." Naruto's "people like you" words echoed through Hinata's head. Naruto also said: "Hey, also watch me wipe the floor with Neji!" In front of him, he suddenly sees fireworks from the stadium. "Oh no! I'm late! I gotta go, Hinata. See ya." Hinata watches Naruto until he was out of sight. Just after Naruto was out of sight, [[Kiba]] comes in with [[Akamaru]] and says: "Hey, Hinata. Sorry I'm late, after all, [[Shino]]'s battle is later. Huh?" He notices Hinata looking out at space. "Hey, what's up with you?" Kiba then looks at where Hinata looks, in confusion.
-The scene changes back to a road of [[Konoha]] and Naruto was running wildly. Out of nowhere, he hears: "Hey, Naruto!" He stops and sees [[Konohamaru]] on an alley. Konohamaru then says that he can take Naruto to a shortcut that will lead to the battle arena. "Oh thanks, Konohamaru, you're a lifesaver!" Konohamaru then says that he knows. "Now, it should be somewhere around here. Ah! Found it." Konohamaru found a fence and sees new wood (which is actually metal). He breaks it open, only to find another patch. "Um, sorry to disappoint you, but it seems to be barricaded." Shocked, Naruto decides not to waste any more time. But, Konohamaru grabs Naruto and says that he knows another way.
-The scene changes to an unknown area in which Konohamaru opens up a sewer pipe (in which it turns out to be a slide). Cautious, Naruto and Konohamaru jumps in. Naruto then got scared and said: "Are you sure this is the way?" Konohamaru replies that it is and he sees the exit. Naruto, excited got ready to make an entrée. Only to come out of a tree, to enter a hot spring unexpectedly. "HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT!" Naruto said as he tried to get out and tread. Konohamaru then tries to defend himself with his hands and said: "Now then, don't be too mad. I'm pretty sure something was wrong." Naruto then cracked his knuckles and was ready to punch Konohamaru. "Konohamaru! How did we end up in the hot springs!? And now we're farther from the battle arena! And how did we get off from a tree!?" Konohamaru then says that there must be something else to get to the battle arena. Just when he said it, he spotted a bull. "AHA!" while Naruto seems to be confused.
-Konohamaru then gets a bull ready for Naruto (while he sighs at the idea). "You expect me to ride on a bull?" Konohamaru then says: "Not just any bull, this bull is really special. This bull is so special that it can outrun a horse." Naruto thinks up an image and says: "Cool!" Naruto then gets on the bull, and Konohamaru says good luck to him. Naruto kicks the bull like he was supposed to kick a horse, but immediately fell down in front of the animal as the bull got mad. The bull then suddenly looks at Naruto's back and his right front foot moved on the ground. The bull had his nose blowing, looking at the red logo on Naruto's jumpsuit. At the instance, Naruto immediately ran for his life while the bull started to yell. Konohamaru then says: "Good luck! Naruto!" and waves good-bye to him.
-Back at the battle arena, many people were missing. [[Sakura]] and [[Ino]] were surprised to see that [[Sasuke]] and [[Naruto]] weren't there. [[Shikamaru]] is surprised that his opponent, [[Dosu]] wasn't here. Back at the roads, Naruto was still in his bullchase and other bulls seem to be attracted to Naruto's red logo and started to follow as well. To break up the number of bulls, Naruto used [[Shadow Clone Technique|Shadow Clone Jutsu]] and he divided up the bulls. In a matter of seconds, even more bulls than before came and all the Narutos grouped up again. "Hey! What happened? You're objective was to split up all of the bulls!" The original one said. "Yeah! But when we broke up, we even attracted even more bulls!" The clone said. "All right, we've got no choice but to run!" The original one said and all the clones started to yell and run.
-About 10 meters away from the battle arena, the [[Jōnin]] guarding the front door sees a group of people that is the same person. "Naruto Uzumaki?" said one Jōnin in confusion. The Narutos then slammed into the Jōnin who tried to block them. From the road to the battle arena, was the horde of bulls. All the clones, and Jōnin were surprised to see what was in front of them. Before any of the people could react, they rampaged and the clones disappeared while the original Naruto went flying inside and made an entrance to the battle arena and landed hard. Everyone watched in shocked to see what happened. Shikamaru then went up to Naruto. ''He sure knows how to make an entrance, idiot.'' Shikamaru picks up Naruto and he wakes up. "What?! Everyone, watch out! A lot of bulls are going to come!" Shikamaru, confused, asked what happened. "Come on, you have to listen to me! They're going to come!" The [[Genma|proctor]] says: "Hey! Quit fidgeting, you two! Face the audience, from here on and out, you guys are heroes out in this area."
