Ep. 395: Os Exames Chunin começam com a Resposta Secreta de Amegakure e os Preparativos das Equipes

395

Arriving in Amegakure, Kakashi reveals his identity, and says that he wishes to speak to Hanzou. Entering Hanzou's fortress, Kakashi gives him the message sent by Suna and Konoha. Unbeknownst to him, Hanzou is actually dead, and is merely Konan in disguise. Telling Pain of the Chuunin Exams co-hosted by the two villages, the Akatsuki leader orders Konan to send a few genin teams to join. Tsunade receives Amegakure's response that they will join the Chuunin Exams, though suspect they might have a secret agenda, and orders Shizune to keep a close watch on the Ame genin. Elsewhere in Takigakure, Shibuki meets with Fuu, regarding the invitation of the Chuunin Exams sent by Konoha and Suna, and ultimately agrees for her to participate, but warns her to be cautious. Meanwhile in Sunagakure, Gaara speaks to Kankurou, and reveals his intention to supervise the exams, while also wanting to make amends with the rebels against him, much to Kankurou's dismay. Back in Konohagakure, Tsunade informs the jounin of the impending Chuunin Exams, and asks for them to recommend their respective genin pupils. Asuma recommends his team to take part (excluding Shikamaru), and Ino invites Sakura to join because they needed a three-man squad to qualify, but she turns down this request in the fear her non-combat skills may hinder Ino and Chouji's chances. However, after realising her capabilities, Sakura decides to participate while Naruto reaches a new step in his training. Meanwhile, all of the genin from other villages participating enter Konohagakure, signifying the start of the Chuunin Exams. (Source: Narutopedia) In Naruto's Footsteps: The Friends' Paths arc: (2/20)
