The Forest of Death - for real this time, complete with giant centipedes and bird-eating snakes. Naruto hilariously mocks Anko's description, and this does not go well for him. She slices up his cheek and goes mildly psycho-riffic, before a helpful kunoichi with a demon tongue brings Anko's kunai back. The proctor's looking forward to the challenge of so many hot-blooded kids. But first, they have to sign Ninja release forms - otherwise Anko will be held responsible for any deaths. Harsh. Shikamura bellyaches about having to survive. The object is to brawl for two scrolls at the tower in the middle of the forest, and the first squad with both scrolls who gets to the top of the tower wind. They've got five days to do it. Kabuto can't help but torment Choji. Rock Lee's stoked for it, complete with smile twinkle. The bad news is you have to spend all five days in the forest, no matter how well you do. You get DQed if your team can't get to the tower, and if you look at either scroll. Anko helpfully suggests they don't die.
Each team gets one kind of scroll, so you never know which member of the other team has the scroll, or which kind of scroll they have. Sakura gets confronted by Ino and her squad. Ino is suprised Sakura's still here, but Sakura doesn't have any reason to leave what with five days in the forest of Sasuke. They amusingly bicker as is expected, with back and forth 'Ugly!' 'Billboard!' Naruto, meanwhile, finds Hinata under a tree, but wanders away before she can thoughtfully tend his wound. Naruto gets the scroll for Squad Seven. Kiba's team picks entrance 16, telling Hinata not to drag the team down. Jerk. Ino's crew gets entrance 27, where Shikamura bellyaches and Choji is well stocked with snacks. At entrance 12, Squad Seven's raring to go. Kankoro's more scared of his teammate Gaara than anything else. Rock Lee will do it for Might Guy! Or get his head kicked in. Go time!
The squads head in, the FreakNinjas immediately planning to target the rookies. Kiba has Hinata use some sight jutsu. The Sound Shinobi have their target. Back to Squad Ten, it's five minutes in and already Choji calls for a snack break. Shikamura hears another ninja squad approaching, and the team's able to duck out of sight - fortunately they don't notice Choji's trail of Ninja Chips. Another squad tumbles across Squad Eight, who're alerted to their presence by Akamaru. Then the hapless NPC ninjas are attacked by flying leeches, probably thanks to Shino, and the team falls into Kiba's trap. One team down. Sakura's worried, Naruto tries to downplay it, but has to make a pee break. Naruto's task, er, completed, we get out of nowhere Sasuke hammering into Naruto and the two go at it to everybody's shock (er, except Sasuke, apparently). Further proving himself no slouch, Sasuke points out that this Naruto is in fact kind of a poor copy. The copy turns into an odd, be-jump-suited ninja wearing a gask mask, and Sakura and Sasuke get ready to go at it.
Next Episode: Giant snakes. That's not cool!
