Naruto Uncut

Konohamaru, the grandson of the Leaf Village's Third Hokage, shows up at the Chunin Exam site, along with Moegi and Udon, to cover the events for the Ninja Academy's school newspaper. Konohamaru looks up to Naruto like an older brother, and through interviews with the characters, recaps their adventures thus far.

Naruto and his fellow participants arrive at the Forest of Death, the site of the second part of the Chunin Exam. To begin, each team will be given one of two types of scrolls. A team must gain possession of the other type of scroll by stealing it from another team and reach the goal point at the tower with both scrolls in hand. Anko, the proctor, offers only one piece of advice to the participants--"Don't get killed!"

The second exam starts in the Forest of Death. Sasuke notices that an enemy has disguised himself as Naruto. Sasuke pursues the intruder but is unable to capture him. Sasuke rescues the bound Naruto and the three teammates decide on a password in case they are split up again.

The Grass ninja that attacks Sasuke and Sakura has more power than the two can handle. Although Sasuke considers giving away their scroll to survive the assault, Naruto stops Sasuke by hitting him. As his anger escalates during the heat of the battle, Naruto starts to display his hidden powers. Meanwhile, examination proctor Anko receives a report about a problem regarding the participants in the exam...

Seeing Naruto furiously fight back against the Grass ninja, Sasuke realizes that he was wrong to think about fleeing the scene of a battle. Taking over for Naruto, who runs out of energy, Sasuke uses his Sharingan to its full potential to drive back the enemy. The Grass ninja introduces himself as Orochimaru and disappears, leaving a curse mark on Sasuke's neck. Shortly thereafter, Sasuke collapses in pain...

After receiving the report from her staff, Anko senses that Orochimaru has snuck into the examination. Anko begins to pursue Orochimaru, but even with her special jonin skills, she is unable to stop the intruder. Despite being battle weary and trembling with fear, Sakura tries to stop the enemy with her remaining power. At that moment, the self-proclaimed Leaf Village's "Handsome Devil" Rock Lee comes to the rescue!

Protecting Sakura, who can no longer move, Lee battles the three Sound ninja himself. He uses his secret move, but the attack has no effect. After receiving blows from Dosu, Lee collapses. In order to defend the people that she cares for, Sakura rises to her feet...

While Sakura fends off the Sound ninja attack by herself, the rival Ino team appears! They decide to help Sakura after watching her fight the Sound Ninja. With their battle formation "Ino-Shika-Cho," the Ino team tries to repel their assailants...

The Sound ninja depart after witnessing Sasuke's intense power. Naruto's team finally gets a moment of peace to recuperate. Kiba obtains the second scroll soon after the beginning of the exam. and his team is heading toward the tower. On their way, Kiba's canine partner Akamaru senses something happening ahead of them and stops.

To heal their wounds, Naruto and his team take a much-needed rest after their battle against the Sound ninja. But it has already been four days since the start of the exam and there is only one day remaining until time expires. Naruto proposes that they make a duplicate of the Scroll of Heaven, which they still need, and they try to open the Scroll of Earth that is supposed to be sealed.

Naruto's team joins Kabuto on their journey to the tower, but on the way, they are trapped by the genjutsu (illusion technique) of the Hidden Rain Village's genin (low rank ninja), Oboro's team. Not only do they lose energy by being forced to walk the same area repeatedly, they struggle in their fight against the numerous clones created by the technique. Naruto proceeds to beat each one of the clones, but their number does not go down.

When Naruto and his team open the two scrolls after reaching the tower, Iruka suddenly appears. He starts lecturing on the spirit of the chunin (middle rank) ninja to the students of the Ninja Academy. By now, Iruka has plenty of confidence in Naruto and his teammates. Meanwhile, Anko reports to the Hokage on the appearance of Orochimaru.

The 21 ninjas that passed the second exam assemble for their next challenge. The faces of the qualifiers show the various emotions burning within. But before the third exam is introduced, it is determined that too many passed the second exam, and preliminaries for the third exam will be held immediately...
