So stupid ending... I don't f**king understand why didn't they make him chuunin right after he saved the village or something... Competing with kids - so stupid.

I think legally, you have to go through exam to go from genin>chunin regardless of stregnth.
If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

I've very mixed feeling about this I hate that Konohamaru now out ranks Naruto but do find it somewhat humorous that he failed again at making chuunin though on another level that really irritates me, I don't know.

Will Konohamaru from now on be a Chuunin in the series?

well you know the exam is worthless when you aren't allowed to use your full strength.

I mean maybe restricting the use of RSS would be alright, since it would pretty much kill him and probably half the stadium with it, but SM is retarded.

And how would his clones loose to konohamarus?

Also that they were saying he wasn't holding back when he was using Taijutsu is ridiculous, he should be strong enough to kill him easily with just Taijutsu.

Yeah I think his taijutsu alone would probably be more than enough against Konohamaru. Anyway Konohamaru is not that bad when it comes to fighting eh? XD

Stupid friggin' restriction. Ah well it's a filler and non-canon material. *sighs and moves on*

Lol, wtf, it was plain stupid. Konohamaru a chuunin already? Impossible -_- Besides they don't make anyone chuunin just because he has won a fight, but because of skills he shows. And what Konohamaru special can? Naruto should be able to kill him there, lol.
And when that kid used Oodama Rasengan I was like "WHAT THE HELL?" That episode only annoyed me -_-

This was significantly better then the film it came with - 9/10 (I wouln't mind a feature length of this). :D
It's hard to pin-point what it is - it's probably just because this is going right back to basics with good comedy and characters we know?

I don't know how ppl can give 9 in review and rate this anime 7.38

Damn it was avarage as for animation and content. They did not show all fights( instead of it they put them in ending) and it was like watching some cartoon. Ending with sage mode was cool though but the fight itself lacked action and techniques.

The episode was really good but I just don't like that konohamaru became a chunin, just doesn't sit right. It's based off of skill and what not so even if he lost he should still become a chunin.

Didn't mind that Naruto didn't become Chunin since this is filler and it's kind of a running gag that, regardless of their immense strength, Naruto and Sasuke remain Genin.

It was a nice watch but Konohamaru's sudden boost in abilities wasn't really believable but hey, it's just a fun little OVA.

From what i see in the comments , most of you guys ( including me ) share the same thoughts.

I ABSOLUTELY HATED that filler episode or movie or whatever it is .
Konohamaru ended up "beating" Naruto and becoming chuunin, seriously , !@%@!$@
People were also supporting him instead of Naruto , once again !@%!!@%

Does this mean that Konohamaru is a chuunin in the series too now while Naruto still remains a Genin? After all of the things that he accomplished?

i hate how they are making konohamaru seems all strong right now like he's going to surpass naruto someday. it seems like they are planning to make konohamaru the next main character, if that ever happens i will stoop watching naruto cuz that kid freaking annoys me!!!!!

great ova, could have been an entire arc completely. konohamaru have so much potential and hes not even at his peek yet. you can't help it but to watch him grow stronger each time you see him. naruto should just stay at genin then go straight for the hokage title.

we should have konohamaru shippuuden instead of that stupid chibi rock lee parody series.

Yeah you guys have to remember that this is not canon material, so don't take the whole "chunin" rank series to heart in this ova. I don't think kishimoto never intended to raise naruto's rank, because things just spiraled out of control, the moment shippuuden started, he had no time to go through other chunin exams, when their was a secret evil organization bent on destroying and taking over the world, he had much more things to worry bout.

But i do think he will become hokage, it will be just like Genin > Hokage.

Also in the canon material, i actually do hope something similar like this happens some time in the near future, that would be cool to show the next generation shinobi go through some changes. But the whole sauske and naruto conflict is the pinnacle of the story so it might not happen. Maybe at the end when they reveal another time skip or something, i don't know.

Similar to how Dragon ball ended when goku Jr fought Vegeta Jr.

I wanted to like this little short but I just can't get over Konohamaru being able to do the rasengan, like... really? -___-
And then the tajuu kage bunshins.. uhhh, wasn't that a forbidden technique? How the heck can Konohamaru do it??

I understand it's supposed to be a fun little filler but at least make it relevant. 5/10 just for the ending, animation, and Gaara.

I kinda agree with what you said XD. Not that I didn't like the movie but I really liked this special; lots of comedy and really nice action. It was just awesome and I also wouldn't mind this special to be like, 30/40 minutes long or even movie-size XD.

Also, you guys are taking this too seriously; My favourite character is Naruto but I still laughed when they disqualified him ahahahah. Well, maybe that just cause I believe that he will become the Hokage really soon...
Anyway, the only thing that was weird was Konohamaru having mastered the Oodama Rasengan in a really short time...
Anyway, awesome movie XD

Disqualification kind of ruined it.
And ending overall didn't make much sense since you don't need to actually win the battle to become chuunin.
But yeah, this ova was cute :3

People complaining about Konohamaru should realize that the Sarutobi clan is by no means weak.

Besides, after using that chakra intensive Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Konohamaru attempted to use kunai and taijutsu to defeat Naruto's Rasengan wielding shadow clones. So it wasn't like his chakra reserves were enormous, just very large with his strong heritage.

Besides, this isn't even canon, though I wish it was.
