Naruto: Honoo no Chuunin Shiken! Naruto vs. Konohamaru!!

As the Fourth Great Ninja War quickly approaches, Sunagakure hosts a special Chunin exam to strengthen the troops of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Among the participants are Konohamaru Sarutobi, an ambitious rookie, and Naruto Uzumaki, who has become a renowned ninja. Despite the significant disparity in skill, Konohamaru is excited at the prospect of proving himself in a competition against Naruto—the one person he both admires and sees as his rival.
