Episode 03; A Rival!? Sasuke And Sakura:
As Naruto walks to his explanatory meeting, Konohamaru greets him,
ready to fight. He trips, and Naruto greets him, but explains that he
can’t fight.
Haruno Sakura heads off to her explanatory meeting. Her rival, Yamanaka
Ino, greets her along the way, and they end up racing to school. At
school, Sakura races over to the most popular boy in the class, Uchiha
Sasuke, and asks to sit next to him. Soon several of the girls are
fighting to sit next to him, which makes Naruto jealous. He stares
Sasuke down until one of the kids pushes Naruto into Sasuke and they
end up kissing. This severely pisses off Sakura, who stands ready to
attack Naruto.
When class begins, Iruka Sensei announces the each ninja will join a
group of three to further their training. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke end
up together. Naruto is thrilled to be with Sakura-chan, while she’s
thrilled to be with Sasuke. Hyuuga Hinata, who has a crush on Naruto, is
disappointed not to be in his group.
At lunch, Sakura disses Naruto to find Sasuke. Naruto gets pissed and
looks for revenge. He sees Sasuke sitting alone eating and attacks him.
Sasuke emerges the winner and ties Naruto up. He then heads over to
where Sakura is eating by herself. He joins her and asks what she thinks
about Naruto. She starts ranting about how Naruto doesn’t know her and
that he’s just annoying. She only wants him to accept her.
There is a flash back to the real Sasuke, who has been tied up by
Naruto. Naruto then transformed into him to court Sakura. Just as she’s
about to kiss him, he gets a sudden stomachache and the desperate urge
to use the bathroom and rushes off.
In the bathroom, Naruto has a revelation. He only can get close to
Sakura if he transforms into Sasuke. His plan is to make Sakura think
that Sasuke finds her annoying. However, while he is in the bathroom,
the real Sasuke walks passed Sakura and asks about Naruto. She rants
about how annoying Naruto is, but he tells her that she’s annoying. It
really hurts her. Naruto, meanwhile, heads out of the bathroom where he
is greeted by Sasuke. Naruto decides that he will gain the respect of
others if he defeats Sasuke, but again he has another desperate urge to
use the bathroom and retreats.
Sakura has the chance to think things over and decides to be nicer to
Naruto. When he emerges from the bathroom, she greets him and asks him
to walk back to class. He accuses her of being Sasuke and wanting
revenge, but again, his stomach gets the better of him.
Episode 04; The Trial! Survival Training:
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura wait for their Jounin (high class ninja) to
arrive and take them off to train. Naruto is impatient and sets up a
booby trap. When the Jounin enters, the eraser Naruto strategically
placed above the door hits him on the head. He tells them that his
first impression of them is that he hates them.
The group starts off by introducing themselves. Sensei goes first. He
is Hatake Kakashi and has no intention of telling them of his likes and
dislikes, his dreams, or his hobbies. Naruto is next. He likes cup
ramen and hates the 3 minutes he has to wait after he puts the ramen in
hot water. His hobby is to eat and compare cup ramens, and his dream is
to become greater than the Hokages and make all the villagers recognize
his existence. Next is Sakura. She doesn’t reveal any of her dreams or
likes, although Sensei is quick to realize that she likes Sasuke. He
asks what she hates, and she replies ‘Naruto.’ Sasuke is last. He says
that there are many things that he hates, and few things that he likes.
His ambition is to revive his clan and to kill a certain man.
Their first mission is survival training. They tell him that they
already have done training at the academy. He laughs at them and tells
them that out of the 27 graduates, only nine will become Genins. The
other 18 will be sent back to the academy. In other words, the test has
a 66% drop out rate. They are to bring their ninja equipment and meet
at 5 AM. Oh, and not to eat breakfast or they will throw up if they
do.
Next morning, they show up bright and early, but sensei doesn’t get
there until 11:10 AM. He immediately sets the alarm clock to 12 PM and
tells them their first task is to take one of the two bells he holds
from him. Whoever can’t won’t eat lunch. He then insults Naruto further
to make the three understand that to take the bells, they will have to
kill him. Naruto immediately takes out his dagger and attacks. Sensei
immediately is able to turn the attack against Naruto and the three are
finally ready to begin the training.
Soon, everyone is hiding, except Naruto. He attacks ‘fair and square.’
Sensei teaches him Ninja fighting lesson 1: taijutsu (fighting without
weapons). He then takes out a book and begins reading. Every attack
Naruto fires on him is avoided. Soon, Sensei is behind Naruto and his
hand is in the seal of the tiger position. He performs a high Ninja
technique in the element of fire which basically pokes Naruto in the
ass and sends him flying.
Iruka asks Hokage-sama about the Jounin who is training Naruto’s
group. He has heard rumors about how difficult the man is. Hokage-sama
gives him a book on Kakashi, which states that he has never passed a
person. Everyone has failed.
Naruto performs mass shadow replica and 7 Narutos attack Sensei. One
caught sensei from behind, and sensei was able to quickly change
places with one of the replications of Naruto. Suddenly, Naruto sees a
bell lying on the ground. He runs over to it, but it caught in a trap
and hung by his feet on the nearest tree. As Sensei lectures Naruto on
his movement, Sasuke throws his ninja stars and hits him. Sensei goes
flying backwards.
