All the arriving genin wait in line for the first part of the exams, Neji catching Konohamaru posing as Naruto after learning the older ninja who would not be attending the Chunin Exam. Soon after, all the participating genin are placed in three separate rooms to take the test that is concocted by Shikamaru: that those who score high or below average will fail. As the genin of each room try to deduce Shikamaru's test, Sakura and Neji come to the same conclusion that each team's members' points must collectively equal the required score to pass.
