The Chunin Exams from the original Naruto series adhered to the typical shonen Tournament arc cliché, and given the number of fans who still insist that it is the franchise’s best arc, Masashi Kishimoto must have done something right. The shinobi in Naruto are divided into three main ranks: Genin, Chunin, Jonin. Upon graduating from the ninja academy, a shinobi is granted the lowest rank of Genin. The only way to progress to Chunin is to participate in an annual selection exam. The Chunin Exam consistently changes over the years, but it’s always a series of exacting tests meant to ensure that only the cream of the crop are granted the rank of Chunin.Since Chunin are capable of leading their own missions and overall handle a lot more responsibility, only shinobi that are both skillful and powerful enough are allowed to graduate to that rank. When Naruto took the Chunin Exam, the Jonin had already begun the process of screening the Genin that would be participating before it officially began. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were each tested individually by Kakashi. He staged different attacks on them to test their readiness for the exam and the trio passed easily. Another attempt at frustrating them was made when the exam’s proctors cast a simple genjutsu on the entire venue. Only the genin savvy enough to notice that they hadn’t actually left the second floor were able to register for the first real test.The first Chunin exam appeared to be a written one, much like a regular standardized test the shinobi would have been used to in the ninja academy. It wasn’t until the aspiring Chunin began work that they noticed the exam’s hidden twist. Each one of the 9 questions was more difficult than the one before, and all of them were far above what one could reasonably expect a Genin to be able to solve. Most of them realized that the exam’s true objective was to test their ability to gather information.RELATED: Naruto: Every Great Ninja War In The Story, Explained
