Synopsis
A new Chūnin Examination brings genin from several hidden villages together in Sunagakure. Although Naruto Uzumaki has accumulated extensive combat experience, he remains formally ranked as a genin and enters the tournament alongside younger competitors, including Konohamaru Sarutobi.
The competition culminates in a spirited match between Naruto and Konohamaru, whose desire to prove himself compels him to demonstrate the techniques he has learned since childhood. This approximately fourteen-minute comedy-action short was screened with Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Blood Prison, rather than released as a separate feature-length film.
Highlights
- Studio Pierrot produced the short for its Japanese theatrical release on July 30, 2011.
- It accompanied Blood Prison as a bonus feature in the film’s theatrical program.
- The story revisits the Chūnin Examination format with competitors from the post-timeskip generation.
- Konohamaru demonstrates several advanced techniques associated with his teachers and family during his match.
- The short humorously addresses Naruto’s continued official status as a genin despite his accomplishments.
- Its established cast includes participants from Konohagakure, Sunagakure and Kumogakure, but it introduces no major new named characters.
