    Now.. for a quick poll...
    It is slightly spoiler-riffic if you haven't seen up to the Chuunin exam prelim fights.

    In the Chuunin exam prelims, When Naruto fought Kiba, who thinks that the series could have also been extremely cool if Naruto lost?

    I know I think so.

    I dont, because if that happened the series will keep going in circles which will be kinda dull.




    Ahh I've havent seen the 2nd episode, so thats why I was clueless about Ebisu.

    -changed question-Spoilerific-UK could you tell me what will happen to Lee ? Will he recover? :sad:

    well, Tooms, do you see Lee in the opening animation where the characters are walking? I'd say more but the spoiler thing won't work for me..

    and UK, I don't think so, he needs to train for a purpose that will take place in a month.

    All of this is kinda spoiler-loaded...
    First things first, about why I don't think it'd make the series go on in circles.
    The final portion of the chuunin exam comes, the final matches, a month after the prelims, and a plot is unveiled, Orochimaru has orchistrated an attack on Leaf villiage, in the attack, the Third Hokage is murdered (a very l33t fight) and the leaf barely manage to turn the attack away, mainly because Naruto engages Gaara and in a fit of 9-tails power takes him down. Remember the giant frog in the first episode? Naruto summons him. Regardless of the outcome of the prelim fight, Naruto does *NOT* become a Chuunin from the exam, in fact, he isn't a Chuunin up to where I've read (chapter 186 in Volume 21) and the exams are quite over (Shikamaru was the only one to achieve Chuunin status). That's all for this portion of the spoiler message

    Rock Lee, what can I say? I like him too, he's got that Springtime of Youth spirit down. He certainly doesn't fade into the background. After the Chuunin exams are over, a healer comes to see him and evaluate his condition, (I won't say more about that healer unless you ask for it) She gives him her prognosis, He cannot continue as a ninja unless he undergoes a very risky surgery (50% survival rate) to remove the bone fragments all along his spine and elsewhere. She advises him NOT to get the surgery. He thinks about it long and hard. He has decided to go for it but the surgery has not yet been performed to where I've read, I'll let you know when I find out.

    Wow.. lots of spoiler-riffic text here.. hee hee...

    well, I know regardless of the chuunin fights, that even if one wins the whole tournament, it doesnt guarantee them Chuunin status. It's all about show and technique and what the judges think. One genin could become chuunin even if he/she lost even. So it would make sense if no one won or only a few.

    Dont read this if you havent seen episodes over 40

    I thought that if he lost and didn’t become a Chunnin, Naruto will go through the same process of the exams and whatever, which took about more than 26 episodes. So I’m not looking forward to Naruto collecting the scrolls again =/
    I wonder what will happen to Sakura, who lost in the preliminary fights. Will the trio be re-united again?


    Yah I did, but still I wasnt sure that him being bandaged meant that he fully recovered and will be able to become a ninja one day.

    you know, I find Lee to be the most impressive character in Naruto. I mean, he can only do 'tai-jutsu' (that's the one right?) and has compensated for not being able to do the 2 other jutsus. He has trained the most, making his body into a physical fighting machine. Truly when we hear the words 'Mind over Matter' we can think of Rock Lee and the Explosion of Youth. Physically, I don't think there is anything he can't recover from. so hopefully he'll get better^^

    Well, I've said all that's really known so far about Lee (except what's in the mind of the creator... wouldn't that be fun to be privee to...) on the last page.

    On to the Naruto not becoming chuunin this time, I don't think it'd be that bad, after all, they did state at the beginning of this Chuunin exam that it was more packed with talent than any previous one. The next one could probably be shortened quite signifigantly, if they did that whole exam again.. which I don't believe will happen. I think it'd be extremely cool on the part of progression of Naruto's character if he'd have lost. Just think of what lengths he'd go to so that he wouldn't again?

    Seen up to epi 55

    I HATE Kakashi! X_X
    Hey doesn't he want to train Naruto! I hate Sasuke as well. AVENGER, eh?... I used to think those 2 character as being cool. Now I'm disappointed

    Poor Lee... I hope there is a twist in the plot where he can
    be a ninja again! He almost defeated Gaara... YOUSH
    But They way he fought the battle was great!

    anyways The writer of Naruto is really good! ^^ He knows how to balance the story. Can't wait for the release of the other epi...
    The music is great!
    ((I should read the manga.))
    YOUSH!

    Ano-san ano-san? I'm happy that Naruto has a good instructor. referes to epi 55

    yes I hate Kakashi too, he annoys me
    Jiraiya is so awesome compared to Kakashi. Naruto wants to be trained and Kakashi is only thinking about Sasuke they ALL are thinking about Sasuke, except the 'bad guys' are thinking Naruto poses a threat to getting Sasuke to stop turning to their side, if that's the best way to put it. I mean, Kakashi didn't even bother to see if Orochimaru did anything to Naruto, I mean I heard 'oh, he didn't know' but still.. I never really liked him tbh..

    I've very happy that Jiraiya is gonna train Naruto, I was about to cry if that closet pervert (enter name here) will train naruto! Jiraiya is superior to Kakashi... Am I right? I think Kakashi wants to train sasuke just because Sasuke is from the Ushida clan and that he has Sharingan. Anyways how did he aquire his sharigan ability that Kakashi?

    What class of ninja is Jiraiya?

    You really should read the manga and stop letting story development annoy you. There are obviously good reasons why Kakashi wants to train Sasuke like keeping an eye on him and the curse for one etc. And yeah Jiraiya is much better
    He is in fact one of the legendary 3

    When I was watching the new opening of Naruto, I saw three new faces(view attachment). 2 of 'em looked like young Jiraiya and Orochimaru. If Im wrong then I have to add three new names to the loooooong list of Naruto characters ..!:dizzy2:

    I saw episode 55 and I absolutely love it!! I love how they gave us information on how everyone is doing before the Chuunin fights. For example, Chouji helps Shikamaru train for the finals. Same goes to the other teams, where the team members that lost help the ones that won.
    2nd reason I love this episode is because of Jiraiya and Naruto. They are so funny when they are together. The tadpole scenes are priceless :D!!!!
    "Alright!!"
    "Just Die you have no talent at all!!"
    "Look carefully!It has hind legs!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    lol that cracked me up!!

    Any one had the same reaction as me when :
    Sakura said: Why do boys push themselves so hard?
    Ino: Dont ask me, Im a girl

    Me: pffftt!! :mad:

    LOL the tadpole scenes where soo Funny!

    As for Sakura, what is she trying to say?!
    Do boys really push themselves so hard? NOt necessarily... there are some guys who don't. Sakura generalized, I guess. *bad bad* But anyway she said it because she's worried about poor Lee and her one and only beloved.

    Anyways her reason for attending the Ninja academy was...? *thinks hard* It's not because of sasuke? is it? :confused: What is it, anyone :sweat:

    hey.. about Sakura and Ino, I don't think it had to do with Sasuke. Because weren't they training before hand anyways to become ninjas?(before Sakura became interested in Sasuke) I mean isn't becoming a ninja something to aspire to be in the world of Naruto?

    and Tooms, Jiraiya is part of the legendary three, so perhaps.. those three, Jiraiya, OrochiMaru and the Blonde girl are the legendary 3? which would be cool having a lady in that group..if of course that's a girl. anyways, I'm just going to relax, let things unfold and not let unanswered questions bother me now :D

    I laughed over something, Naruto has these capsule figure stamps now, and the one of Naruto has him riding a.. tadpole. lol

    those mountain face sculptures are of the 4 Hokages that level Naruto is trying to achieve. the old guy with the red hat is the fourth, elsewhere if I recall the fifth Hokage is sculpted nearby but not with the four.. the fifth was the one who sealed the Nine-Tails Demon.. umm you didn't miss anything about Orochimaru Tooms.. I was just guessing.. ^___^

    Actually...

    The four faces are the four Hokage, there is no fifth as of the anime currently The old guy with the hat is the third, the fourth sealed the nine-tails into Naruto and died in the process.

    Now... about those 3 in the opener
    The girls name is Tsunade, she's just as old as Jiraya and Orochimaru, but is maintaining her youth through Medical Jutsus, she's a specialist in that area. She, after the demise of the Third Hokage is called on and asked to be the Fifth Hokage, there's a *really* interesting storyline as Jiraya and Naruto go looking for her and Naruto gets trained in a really cool technique.

    I suppose that's good for now.

    ya sorry about that, episode 56 explains it better saying the fourth Hokage was the one who sealed the demon and it didn't really say which #Hokage the old guy is.. this whole time I assumed the fourth Hokage was an old guy.
