It's another day of hard training for Rock Lee!
There are twenty leaves.
If I can grab them all before they hit the ground,
I'll take Sakura on a date to that...
...fancy restaurant with a view of the night sky.
But if I fail,
I have to go to the restaurant alone,
and bungee jump off the plateau five times!
Konohamaru?
Nice job, Mr. Bushy-Brows!
You saw right through me, didn't you?
I'm Going to Teach Konohamaru Kempo
I have a favor to ask you.
Will you train me?
Training? But why me—
I know, right?
I'll be happy to train you!
Naruto!
Watch this.
Sexy Sakura Jutsu!
A critical hit against one specific person.
But you cheated, Naruto!
She's way bustier than the real Sakura.
Don't you see, Konohamaru?
This version's way better.
Sorry...
Stop screwing around with your stupid perverted jutsus!
You didn't mind when I used my Sexy Man Jutsu on you the other day.
Ichiraku Ramen Half Price!
W-W-W-What're you talking about?
I'd never get worked up over something so immature.
You sure? I've came up with one that's even more exciting.
More exciting?!
Sexy Manly Man Jutsu!
No! No!
Your jutsu has amazing destructive power.
With fearsome weapons like that in your arsenal,
why do you need me to train you?
I'm sure you already know that I can't use ninjutsu.
I don't want you to train me in ninjutsu,
I wanna learn hand-to-hand combat!
Combat?
I heard we're going to have a combat test soon.
Actually, I remember Kakashi-sensei talking about that, too.
Something about how they want to do a yearly exam,
to make sure everyone's in good shape or something.
I see, it all makes sense now.
I'll be happy to help however I can!
Nothing says training like sitting under a waterfall.
It's one of the basics, right?
Let's begin, gentlemen!
Say hello to my helpers, Neji and Tenten!
Helpers?
Do we have time for this, Lee?
We need to prepare for the exam, too.
I'm not sure we should be worried about teaching anyone else.
No, I would never have become a chunin if it weren't for Guy Sensei.
Now it's time for me to start
helping the next generation of ninjas!
The most important part of fighting is speed.
If you're fast enough,
you can produce the same effect as any ninjutsu,
even if you can't use the jutsu yourself.
For example, the Transformation Jutsu...
And then taking it further!
Wow, you changed Neji lightning fast!
Why do I agree to these things?
The key to this technique is not to get embarrassed.
In that sense, Neji still needs to train a little more.
Run a lap around the village in that outfit.
Forget it!
And you call this the transformation jutsu?
He's just changing his clothes.
Moving on!
If you move around quickly enough...
I thought it was just a waterfall,
but there's a hot spring bubbling up from underneath, too?
You can use the... Clone jutsu...as well...
Did he make himself dizzy?
And overheated.
You really think it's on par with the actual technique?
Enough with the fake ninjutsu already!
Teach the kid some kempo or something!
Finally, the time has come for me to teach you my greatest kempo move.
A strike so powerful it can even counter Naruto's Rasengan.
My Rasengan?
The Rasengan is high-level attack,
where the user rotates chakra in his palm at high speeds,
compresses it into a ball, and slams it into his enemy.
He's definitely spinning fast...
I call it the Rasenken.
You two give it a try!
All right!
Not bad. But not up to my level!
You're not gonna show me up, Bushy-Brows!
Faster!
I'll show you!
They spun so fast they made themselves drunk.
My plan worked perfectly.
I'll use the intoxication...
What're ya lookin' at?!
The Drunken Fist!
Salary... man...
Why did he put his tie around his head?
And why...
...does he have a box of takeout sushi?!
There's... gourd and squid rolls inside!
Stupid boss...
Thinks he's so great...
All he does during meetings is dig in his nose.
There's no fighting.. He's just plain drunk!
C'mon, Naruto ol' buddy. Let's have one more round!
I can't tell where this training is going.
But it seems pretty strong!
Who does that jerk of a boss...
...think he is?!
I'll get you for this, Bushy-Brows...
Now it's your turn, Konohamaru.
Start out with the Rasenken.
M-Me?
What's wrong? Is starting with the big moves too much?
Okay, I'll teach you the trick to get the most out of your training.
Guy Sensei taught it to me.
It's called the self-imposed rule!
Self-imposed rule?
Yes.
You have to come up with a handicap for yourself during your training sessions,
and stick to it, no matter what.
If I complete this session,
I'll go on my first date with Sakura.
If I complete this session,
we'll watch our first DVD together in her room.
If I complete this session,
we'll go on our first overnight trip to a hot springs!
If I complete this session,
I'll buy an engagement ring...
...that costs three month's salary, and propose to Sakura!
Marriage Press Conference
If I complete this session,
I'll hold a press conference to publicize our marriage!
If I complete this session,
Sakura and I will have healthy twin boys.
And of course, we'll name them Samohan and Yun-Pyou!
For the record, in my head I've gone on three dates with Sakura.
We've gone as far as holding hands in front of the giraffes at the zoo.
T-That's so creepy, Bushy-Brows.
Now let's get to work, Konohamaru!
Are those—
His eyebrows!
He's spinning those huge eyebrows around like a buzz saw!
Precisely.
By opening the internal limiters known as the eight gates,
I can call upon amazing powers.
For this move,
I released the limiters on one specific body part!
If you master hand-to-hand combat like I have,
you can use these moves, too!
Still creepy, Bushy-Brows!
Whoa—
His eyebrows are smacking me!
Konohamaru!
Konohamaru?
What's the matter?
Sulking's not going to help you progress.
You're the one who came to me for help.
The truth is... I'm kinda scared.
I keep hearing rumors about how tough the exam's gonna be.
And I wonder if I can do it...
I've got no confidence.
Konohamaru.
No amount of hard work will help a man who doesn't believe in himself!
I can't tell you how many times Guy Sensei's told me that.
He said it over and over,
and eventually I understood how important it is to believe in yourself.
It's thanks to his words that I became a chunin.
So...
You'll be all right!
Konohamaru, you'll fight your way through just fine!
Have confidence in yourself.
I did it once, too!
If I pass the combat test, then I'll become Hokage.
And if I fail, I'll run 500 laps around the village, backwards.
That's my self-imposed rule!
That's the spirit.
Before you go, how about a quick spar with me?
Behold my new Harem Jutsu!
N-N-New Harem Jutsu?!
What will it be?
M-Maybe...
Sexy Manly Man Madness Jutsu!
I did it!
Konohamaru overcame a huge obstacle and completed his training.
Finally, the day of the exam arrived.
Here's the examination room.
What's going on?
I thought this was a combat examination?
Combat?
What're you talking about?
Not combat, body fat!
Gotta make sure we're all healthy!
Lee?
A Ninja's Teeth Are His Life
Yes, the test was actually a comprehensive physical,
and Lee has to take it, too.
First they'll need a chakra sample to run some tests on.
Chakra sample?
Indeed.
In the morning, fill a container with your chakra,
and they'll run several lab tests to determine your overall health!
Wow, they can do that with chakra?
Of course, Tenten. Didn't you know?
Anyway, they just started doing it this year.
Naruto Uzumaki
She's all filled up, Doc!
That's just ridiculous!
Make sure you only bring in your own chakra, everyone!
No using your dad's or your dog's chakra if you can't make any yourself.
If you didn't remember to bring a sample, you can do it now.
Just leave the container in this box.
Yes, sir.
So chakra's like that, huh?
I had no idea...
I Save My Lucky Undies for Physicals
Naruto Uzumaki
Sakura Haruno
Chakra Collection Box
What's the holdup, Lee?
Give them a chakra sample so we can move on to the physical.
It's no use. I can't do it.
Even if it's supposed to be for a health exam, I...
I...
Don't tell me...
Is there something wrong with you that you haven't told us?!
I didn't take a bath yesterday!
Before I get a physical,
I always take a bath to clean myself up,
and then I change into a pair of clean underpants!
That's all?
The only thing more important than wearing the right underwear to the doctor,
is wearing the right underwear into battle!
Exactly.
I remember reading a story once...
Tomorrow they're doing physical exams at the castle,
but I have no underpants to wear...
This tattered old pair's too embarrassing.
I wouldn't be able to face the doctor!
You're...
The Wizard, Guy Sensei!
Have no fear.
Pippity Poppity Poo!
These boxers are so stylish!
With those, you'll be the belle of the ball— er, physical.
But the spell will only last until midnight.
After that, they'll turn back into your old, worn-out briefs.
Understood!
The famous doctor...
Soon she'll put her stethoscope on my chest...
Next.
Right here!
It's midnight already?!
Hey, get back here!
Doctor Sakura!
Aren't these...
Afterwards, the doctor wandered the country,
searching for the one man the boxers fit perfectly.
When she found him, the two lived happily ever after.
No, no, there is no book like that anywhere!
What do we do?
I had no idea today was gonna be a physical exam.
Konohamaru... You, too?
My only chance is the Sexy Jutsu!
Why me?!
That's not right, Konohamaru!
You're more stylish than the real Tenten!
Naruto told me that's a good thing.
I heard everything.
Guy Sensei!
I can't magically conjure up a pair of fresh underwear,
but here's the next best thing.
My freshly laundered traditional fundoshi!
Thank you, Guy Sensei!
I'll put it on right away!
Turn back to normal first!
First is the eye exam.
I've got this!
Byakugan!
Where's the gap?
Right.
Here?
Left.
Top! Lower right!
Left! Right! Bottom! Lower left!
He's getting them all wrong...
No, he's seeing the girls' exam chart in the next room!
Left!
Lower right, upper right!
The chart for Byakugan users is here!
Byakugan!
Right, left, bottom, lower right!
Right eye, 38752.0.
Left eye, 38781.5.
Nice work, Neji.
Okay, next is hearing.
Hearing? That's my specialty!
Not sparring, are you nuts?!
Oh, my mistake.
I hear you loud and clear...
Guts.
Hearing, hearing!
That was stretching the joke too far, even for you!
We're testing how well your ears hear, all right?
This is the theme to Make-Out Tactics,
"I only wanna Make-Out with You."
He's jamming to the beat.
Now for blood pressure.
No, not butt pressure!
Oh, my mistake.
You meant...
Not butt temperature, either!
This is more like a stand-up comedy test!
Next we'll measure your height.
Bushy-Brows, I bet I'm taller than you!
I'll take you on.
If I can beat Naruto, Sakura will perform my physical...
...in a fancy exam room with a view of the night sky.
I'll beat Bushy-Brows this year.
What a brutal move.
But I won't be left behind.
Take that...
Oh, it's on now.
Gotta keep pushing...
One more!
Hematomas don't count!
You got more lumps than me, Naruto.
The last part's a health survey.
Survey Room
Took you long enough!
Sakura?
Oh, they're having you help with the physicals...
...because you know medical ninjutsu?
Sakura's going to do my exam!
Maybe it's not a fancy room with a view,
but Sakura's still gonna listen to my heartbeat!
She'll hear that it beats only for her!
Okay, Lee!
Yes!
Take a deep breath.
Too deep, just breathe normally!
Okay!
I-Is that...
...the theme to Make-Out Tactics,
"I only wanna Make-Out with You"?
I'll express my feelings for Sakura
with the rhythm of my own heartbeat!
Mr. Bushy-Brows has insanely coordination.
Looks like they really are holding health exams today.
He's such a doofus, ain't he?
We didn't come to peep on them!
We're supposed to steal their chakra samples.
We'll be taking your box of chakra samples!
Fresh chakra sells for a lot on the black market!
People buy and sell chakra, too?!
I don't think so!
Whoa, I used up too much chakra this morning, I'm beat...
Me, too... Looks like I gave too much...
Neji Hyuga
Neji, not you, too!
Thanks for the chakra, suckers!
Get back here!
Leave it to me!
Konohamaru, it's time to put your combat training to work!
The Rasenken!
Naruto, throw us like you would a Rasengan!
Okay!
Rasenken!
We got 'em!
Sakura, we got the chakra samples back!
What happened?!
Carrying them back in one big lump was easier.
Afterwards, they enacted a rule,
stating all chakra samples must be no bigger than one spoonful.
Oh, Guy Sensei!
What's with the tent?
Are you camping out during the next training session?
Nope, next week is...
"The Leaf Village Sports Meet,"
The Leaf Village Sports Meet Calvary Battles are part of the Thrill of Youth
and "Calvary Battles are part of the Thrill of Youth."
I have but one job to do!
Preparing for the meet?
No, staying up all night preparing and preparing myself...
...to see my pupils victorious!
Please wait!
Guy Sensei, if you're not here,
who'll make my special lunch with the little octopus...
...made out of Vienna sausage?!
I, um... I guess I will...
