After experiencing a severe attack from Naruto, Haku loses all meaning to his life. He explains to Naruto how his parents were murdered and how he was shunned by his village and that when Zabuza found him, Haku had a purpose again until that moment. Haku demands that Naruto kill him. Meanwhile Kakashi's ninja hounds are biting into Zabuza keeping the demon in place. Kakashi summons his lightning blade next, ready to deliver the final strike against Zabuza.

Haku blocks Naruto's final strike in order to move in front of the path of Kakashi's lightning blade to protect Zabuza. Haku dies of course, but then the fog lifts and the battle is paused momentarily. Sakura and Tazuna rush over to Sasuke's unconscious body and Sakura breaks down into tears because she loves Sasuke. She cannot bear the thought that he got severely hurt like this and even though she knows that showing emotion is a sign of shinobi weakness, she cannot restrain herself from crying. As the battle was about to resume, however, Gato shows up and was about to fire Zabuza for failing to kill the bridge builder.

When Zabuza heard that he was being fired, he no longer had a quarrel with the leaf ninja. Then Naruto gave a speech that allowed Zabuza to see just how precious Haku was and therefore, Zabuza killed Gato like the demon he was. Then when the thugs Gato hired were coming after Zabuza and the leaf ninja, not only did the hidden mist villagers step in, but also Naruto and Kakashi used shadow clones to scare the thugs off. The bridge was completed, now called the Great Naruto bridge, and the leaf ninja set off for back home.

Now back in the leaf village, Naruto wakes up feeling groggy, but does his usual morning things to get on with the day. After waiting forever for Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all do menial tasks and Naruto messes up each one at one point or another, thus making Sasuke call Naruto a loser. At the end of the day, Kakashi hands in his report, and team 7 was going about their merry way.

Naruto wanted to hang out with Sakura, but Sakura doesn't like Naruto and to make matters worse for Naruto besides the denial of hanging out with Sakura, Konohamaru starts bugging him. Konohamaru and Naruto both get a beating from Sakura and then Konohamaru gets caught by the visiting Kankuro of the hidden sand village who is there with Gaara and Temari for the Chunin exams.

Kakashi selects his students to take the Chunin exams, but Iruka was against it at first. Iruka transforms into some water ninja to test team 7, where team 7 proves their worth of being candidates. Then, on the day of the exams or rather the prelims, Sasuke gives Sakura props when 2 proctors does a genjutsu or an illusion on the stairway door. He said that Sakura saw that coming, and while blushing, Sakura admitted that it was true. The proctors are looking forward to the batch that has been selected to see who makes it and who breaks it.

Rock Lee follows Sasuke and then challenges him to a battle. After some hilarity, Sasuke agrees to fight Rock, but loses. When Rock was going to use a forbidden jutsu, his teacher Might Guy stopped him. Guy looked exactly like Rock only older and goofier, thus more hilarity ensued before it was finally time to go register.

Seeing the overwhelming competition, team 7 cannot believe just how many genin came to try to become chunin. After a reunion with the original 9, this means Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Choji, Ino, Shikamaru, Kiba, Hinata, and Shino, a new face named Kabuto Yakashi shows up and gives the rookie 9 some info about Gaara and Rock Lee claiming at the same time that the hidden sound village is a mystery.

Not liking being called a mystery, the sound ninja decided to teach Kabuto a small lesson by using sound to make Kabuto sick.

Then the proctors came into the room via a cloud of smoke and Ibiki introduced himself saying that he is everyone's worst enemy.

The chunin exams begin where Ibiki gives out a written test where the goal is to show how you can cheat and not get caught in order to be exceptional shinobi. Sasuke and Sakura get it right away, but Naruto figures he is going to have to wait until the 10th question and not cheat at all. This proves that Naruto is not only noble, but has the biggest balls by tricking everyone into thinking he can do this when he really can't.

When the 10th question came, there were more rules involved just to it. But this was a simple mind game. If you are faced with a no win choice, what do you do sort of test. Naruto, being the hyperactive, knucklehead ninja that he is, declared that he doesn't run, doesn't quit or backs down from his word for one day he will be the greatest Hokage of all and then the whole village will have to respect him and treat him like someone important. Needless to say he passed.

Then the second proctor entered with a spectacle and then told Ibiki that his test was too easy. She also said that by the end of this, over half of 78 testers will be gone. Her name in Anko and she becomes very important to the story even after being the proctor.

anyway, she showed the genin the training grounds and called it the forest of death.

The academy newspaper reporters Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon, otherwise known as Naruto's followers, wanted to do an interview with the genin on this year's Chunin selection and thus during the interview was a whole heap of hilarity.

The second test begins. The genin have 5 days to reach a tower at the center of the forest of death with a heaven and earth scroll present. All three members must be able to battle when they arrive in order to pass. One team almost immediately got killed by leeches, therefore there are already less teams to worry about.

A disguised Orochimaru approached Sasuke and Sakura while a snake ate Naruto. Naruto used the shadow clone jutsu to get out of the snake and saved the day by thwarting Orochimaru away from Sasuke.

Naruto rescues Sasuke from Orochimaru's pet snake, and calls Sasuke a coward. Sakura, for a change agrees with Naruto. She says that at least Naruto is doing something about this threat and not standing there doing nothing like a coward. Sasuke remembers about what his brother had told him the day Sasuke's family had been murdered and this gave Sasuke the courage he needed.

Sasuke is inflicted with a curse mark just as Orochimaru flees the scene. Anko is onto Orochimaru, but is blackmailed by him not to stop the chunin exams just because he's there. Anko was then headed back to seeing the Hokage about the situation when some tigers cornered her. Her own curse mark rendered her useless against the tigers, but anbu black ops were there to save the day. Anko suggests meeting the Hokage at the tower and she will explain what is going on. Meanwhile, Sakura is looking after both Sasuke and Naruto who are both unconscious at the moment and the sound ninja whom Orochimaru hired as candidates for the Chunin exams were there to take advantage of Sakura being the only one able to fight.
