Anko is getting all the genins ready for the forest of death, and Naruto has the nerve to mock her, bragging that he can do anything. “Oh really? Well Naruto, if that’s the case, you may want to start with keeping your big trap shut since you’re getting on Anko’s nerves, which is why she threw a kunine knife at you.

A grass ninja was so nice to return it, with her tongue? Ew. Why in the hell would Anko want something (unless it’s a $1,000 bill) that came out of someone else’s mouth? Yuk! And one other thing, this grass ninja is standing way too close to Anko, who tells her (or it) to back off, if she (or it) wants to live another day. See, didn’t I tell you she was one tough broad?

Okay, this is the deal…..26 teams are fighting to get 1 heaven, and 1 earth scroll. All teams will get one scroll, and it’s their job to get the other one from another team. This means that only 13 teams have any chance of winning at all, the other 13 are just S-O-L.

Now after the teams get the two scrolls, they have to bring it back to some tower surrounded by a bunch of forest. And speaking of that, the teams will be out there for days before actually reaching this tower. Imagine that…..out in the forest with no bath, no pizza, and no toilet tissue…..boy, do I feel sorry for those guys.

Not only that, but where’s the damn flashlight? Have you ever spent time out in the forest preserves? You may have been out there rollerblading, jogging, or walking your dog, but you were smart enough to get the hell out of there when nightfall hit, since you wouldn’t be able to see crap. So how are the teams gonna be able to see in the dark?

Oh well, that’s their problem. Okay, let me tell you some of the ways the candidates can get disqualified.

If all 3 members can’t make it to the tower with both scrolls after 5 days.

If a member becomes incapacitated or falls down dead.

If any member looks at the content of the scrolls before they reach the tower. (Yeah right, as if anyone cares what’s in it).

Now you know I’m voting for Naruto’s team to win, but here are some other teams that I’ll be rooting for…..

And now for the teams that can kiss off………

Now Neji is cute, but Rock Lee has got to go! Good luck guys!

Okay, it’s time to speed up this test so that we’ll know who’s gonna pass, and then throw the rest of the bums out. Ebiki (the proctor) finally gives out the 10th and final question, but there’s a catch. If the candidates try to answer the question, but get it wrong, they can never take the chunin exam, ever.

However, if they decide not to answer question 10, they will fail, but can come back and take it again another time. Okay, that’s a bunch of BS, I’m gonna tell you what I’d do. I would answer the 10th question, and if I got it wrong, and Ebiki told me that I could never come back and take the test again, I’d sue him.

Oh, and check this out, if an individual decides not to answer the question, his whole team fails as well. Now this is so wrong, at least give them a chance to discuss it with each other, damn!

Besides, who in the hell told Ebiki that he could make up his own rules? Well, it doesn’t matter, ’cause half the class leaves after hearing this garbage. More importantly, is Naruto gonna answer question 10? I honestly think that Naruto should just pack it in, and wait until next year, after all, he hasn’t answered a single question on his test, what makes him think he’s gonna answer question 10 correctly?

Wait, wait, Naruto’s hand is going up, and it’s been up for at least 2 minutes now, is somebody gonna fail him, or do I have to do it? What’s this, Naruto isn’t quitting? I guess not as he slams his hand down on the desk and starts talking crap, about how he’s not scared, and won’t run ’cause he’s gonna be hokage someday.

Awww, what a nice speech, he really inspired a lot of people to stay…………

even the cute sentinels are impressed……………….

And now it’s time for Ebiki to dish out the tenth question, and it’s…………WHAT’S WITH THIS, THERE IS NO TENTH QUESTION? WTF? That’s correct, Ebiki passes all those who decided to stay. He’s so lucky I’m not there, ’cause I’d slap that smile right off his face for putting everybody through that mess.

Ebiki compares the tenth question to a real life dangerous ninja mission in which you really don’t have the option of turning back in fear, hoping to fight another day, since that’s not what being a ninja is all about. In other words, as a chunin, you can’t choose to avoid danger.

Oh, now I get it, kinda sorta. Well who cares, Naruto passes and……wait, who in the hell is this guy? Isn’t he a little too old to be trying to take the chunin exam? And why is he wearing a tie? And what kind of a ninja outfit is that?

Okay, now where was I? Oh yeah, the test is over, and Naruto passes, but something comes flying through the window……what was that? Hey, it’s Anko, proctor #2! Now I like her, she’s tough, and won’t take crap off nobody. Now why she couldn’t come through the front door like a normal person is beyond me, but who cares, it’s time to move on to the next test, THE FOREST OF DEATH!!!!

It’s Xmas Eve, or at least I think it is. For several episodes, we’ve witnessed the Blade Children stalking people, and killing them. Ayumu could have ended up being a casualty, but he outsmarted the Blade Brats, and has lived to see another day. Only thing is, the tide has turned, and now it’s their turn to be victims.

Yes, there are hunters after the Blade Children, and one of them is coming for Eyes Ruthurford. You remember him, right? The seventeen year old piano star with the lame ass personality? Now Eyes is supposed to be the “top dog” of the group, but I have yet to see him get his hands dirty in any of the killings or those torturous games that Ayumu was put through.

I guess Eyes is the one providing the finances of the whole Blade operation, since he’s the rich dude. Maybe that’s why this particular hunter is trying to take Eyes out, ’cause he’s the guy with the cash. The hunter taunts Eyes like crazy, calling him every hour to tell him that his number is almost up. While this is going on, Kosuke is trying to find out how the hunter is gonna accomplish his goal.

Is he gonna use a bomb? Maybe not, since no one can find one anywhere, and the bomb scenario is gettin’ kind of old and played out. Is he gonna poison the food? Nobody knows, so some sandwiches are sent in for testing, but come back in good condition so we can rule that one out. Look, I know Eyes is just a kid, but he’s a rich one, and should be eating caviar, and lobster, and stuff like that, not some stale sandwiches.

Now this hunter starts talking way too much, which leads Kosuke and Ayumu to discover a bug somewhere in Eyes’s dressing room. Oh yeah, I guess you’re wondering why Ayumu is hanging around. Well, he’s still trying to find out where his brother is hiding. Kosuke swears up and down he doesn’t know where Kyotaka is, but we know that Kosuke is a good liar, so we can’t listen to him.

However, we do know that Kyotaka is alive, since he sent Ryo some flowers a few episodes ago, but that’s all the info we have at this point. Kyotaka is a jerk, he should be sending some flowers to the wife that he left behind 2 years ago.  Well Ayumu decides to hang out with the Kids a little while longer, so that he can get all his questions answered. I think this is a big mistake, why hang around a bunch of people that wanted you dead?

Ayumu devised a plan to smoke this hunter out, but Eyes will need to stall his concert by 5 minutes. Instead of taking some good advice, Eyes speeds up the show by 2 minutes. Hmmmm. I guess he really does have a death wish. So the concert begins, and candles are being lit left and right. This is a good thing, since the hunter can’t seem to get a good shot of Eyes. Too bad, ’cause his music is really getting on my nerves right now.

Anyway, Ayumu (being the genius that he is) figures out where the hunter is hiding, and realizes that it will be a sniper attack. Now we all know Ayumu is good a solving puzzles, but can’t take down a picture, much less a hunter. Kosuke tries to take him out, but c’mon, he’s just a kid, and the hunter looks like an adult. So who do you think got owned? Yep, you guessed it, the hunter owned Kosuke, and got away.
