Vol.5 Chapter 39 – The Challengers!!

Team 7 is stunned to see that they are only three of more than a hundred genii willing to become chuunin. They socialize with members of Team 8 and Team 10, who come from the same Academy graduating class, but the fact remains that they are only newcomers compared to the other test subjects. Soon, they become friends with Kabuto Yakushi, who gives them advice and data about the exam and its participants. Although this was meant to intimidate them, Naruto declares to the entire room that he will defeat them all.
