Waking up in the morning, Naruto have his breakfast then makes his way to the bridge to meet the rest of Team 7. Kakashi arrives late as usual. They were given D class missions and Naruto tries to beat Sasuke in everything but always end up in a disaster. While weeding a garden of herbs, Naruto tried rushing and un-earthed the herbs as well, while cleaning the river, he trips and nearly fell over the waterfall but was saved by Sasuke and while walking the dogs, Naruto just have to pick the largest dog and was walked by the dog instead into a mine field. At the end of the day, Kakashi sends them home. As Sasuke walks off home, Sakura ask him whether if he would like to practice with her. Sasuke replied that she should practice with Naruto since she's the "same" as Naruto. Inner Sakura was seen crushed with a large rock. Sasuke then corrected himself saying she is actually "lower" than Naruto. Inner Sakura get crushed even more by the boulder. A box with 2 holes that is supposed to be a rock moves towards Naruto. (Anyone should know by now that there's only one person in the entire Konoha with such lousy camouflage ability) The box explodes revealing Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon; the Konohamaru Corps. Sakura walks up and punches Naruto to the floor. Konohamaru being shocked that his leader is being grounded called Sakura and ugly bitch. Maddened, Sakura chases them. Konohamaru bumps into two weird looking shinobis that weren't from Konoha as their forehead protector reveals. The guy lifted Konohamaru and called him a brat. Naruto attack him but was tripped suddenly by something. Sasuke interferes by shooting a small stone at his hand making him drop Konohamaru. Another sand shinobi appears beside Sasuke without Sasuke realizing. His name is Gaara. He tells the other two shinobi that they should get going and just as about to leave, Sakura intercepts asking why they were in Konoha. The female shinobi of the group shows her their traveling documents and stated that they in Konoha for the Chuunin Exam. As they move away, Sasuke ask for Gaara's name and vice versa. The 3rd Hokage announces the Chuunin exam will begin within a week on the 1st of July.
