On the day that he learns that the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was sealed within him soon after his birth and is the reason he is alone in the world, Naruto's fortunes begin to change. In addition to finding a father-figure in the form of Iruka Umino, Naruto achieves his dream by finally becoming a ninja. In doing so, Naruto is added to Team 7 along with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno under the leadership of Kakashi Hatake. To see whether or not the three are ready to become ninja, Kakashi administers a test to see if they have what it takes. Each fails independently, leading Kakashi to believe they will never become ninja. is the 62nd day of the year (63rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Once the first phase of the exam begins, it is revealed that all of those wishing to advance in rank must first complete a written test. The test's questions, however, prove too difficult for almost all present, and it soon becomes apparent that the true objective of the first phase is to cheat without getting caught. Those who are caught are disqualified, and the numbers are soon whittled down. Towards the test's end the remaining few are given the option of forfeiting, as the consequence of failing the test means that they will never be able to retake the test again. While some are persuaded to leave, Naruto proclaims that he will not back down, inspiring everyone left to do the same.

This turn of events tires both girls out, resulting in a double knockout, though the fight causes the two to begin to reform their friendship. Naruto proves more fortunate in his own match, outsmarting his opponent to the surprise of the onlookers. Naruto's success motivates Team 8 member Hinata Hyuga to do her best in the match against her cousin, Neji Hyuga. Although Hinata tries her best despite Neji being far stronger, Neji's hate for her family causes him to show no mercy to her during their fight.

| | As one of the last matches, Rock Lee is pit against Gaara. While Lee's speed and strength surprises Gaara, he is unable to fully bypass Gaara's defenses. Determined to prove himself capable of defeating such a strong opponent, Lee uses his trump card, though Gaara is able to nullify much of the damage, allowing him to quickly resume battle. Lee, however, is left unable to move after his last attack and is left at Gaara's mercy. After his body is broken by Gaara's attacks and Gaara makes to finish him off, Gaara is declared the victor to prevent further damage to Lee. The preliminaries draw to a close and the finalists are assigned opponents for the finals in a month's time, leaving them plenty of time to recuperate and train. Naruto, eager to get ready for his match against Neji Hyuga, approaches Kakashi to help him train. Kakashi, having already decided to train Sasuke, encourages Naruto to find an alternative, which he does in the form of Jiraiya. is the 338th day of the year (339th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
