Splinter is pleased to announce that the Turtles are about to graduate from the ninja rank of Genin to the more advanced rank of Chunin. Everyone is quite excited... until it is made clear that Michelangelo will not be graduating with his brothers since he has been playing video games instead of training. To bring their brother up to speed, they test him in a series of challenges in order to understand the true meaning of Ninjutsu.
