Sumaru senses his mother’s death and Naruto is unable to stop an angry Sumaru from running off. To save Sumaru, Hokuto and Mizura stake their lives to reveal the truth behind the star training.

It is three weeks since Naruto began training under Jiraiya. And Naruto has been on the brink of collapse many times.

Thinking of Haku, Naruto angrily confronts Zabuza. Zabuza is devastated by the loss of Haku, the only person he could trust in the world.

Sasuke quietly watches as Naruto sinks deeper in the water. He recalls the past, when the Uchiha clan was cruelly slaughtered.

Naruto is finally able to draw out the Nine-Tail Chakra and utilize the "Summoning Jutsu." Gamabunta appears and does not believe that Naruto summoned him.

Hinata goes up against Neji, but he hits her pressure point by using his Byakugan (white eyes). Hinata’s flow of chakra is stopped, and she almost loses consciousness.

The hardest part of the first exam comes with question 10. Before the ninja hear the question, Ibiki declares what seems like a harsh and unreasonable rule for that problem…

The relationship between Gantetsu and Todoroki is revealed and tensions rise between the two.

After a heated battle, Naruto has the enemy cornered, but a boy is taken. This boy turns out to be Akio, Todoroki’s younger brother, who Todoroki thought was dead.

Naruto comes upon an injured youth who has lost his memory. Tsunade is cautious about the boy’s presence, but Naruto is impressed by the boys kindness and insists on allowing the boy to stay.
