The most favourite Anime series Naruto is now aired on Sony YAY! In five regional languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Bengali. The broadcast started on August 15 on weekdays from Monday to Friday at 8 PM. Many Naruto fans don’t watch this series on Sony YAY! Because of time issues. So I am going to start making the Overview of all episodes one by one and in this article, I am continuing from the 21st episode of Naruto season 1.

21st episode Identify Yourself: Powerful New Rivals

As the Three Sand Siblings are introduced, Gaara scolds Kankurō for his abuse of the kids. Gaara then apologises to Sasuke for Kankurō’s behaviour. The three are ninjas from Sunagakure and they come here to Konoha for the Chūnin Exams. Another team watches unseen from a tree nearby. The Third Hokage asks Kakashi, Asuma and Kurenai to step forward and recommend any Genin they believe to be fit to take the Chūnin Exams.

Iruka thinks that the rookies need more time and that there is no way that any of them will be recommended. However, all three jnin recommend their students which shocks Iruka greatly. Iruka challenges their decision, as he believes Naruto and the others are not ready for the exam. They however stand by their decision and the Hokage agrees, but only after Kakashi reminds Iruka they are no longer his students, but ninja under his command. 

The next morning Kakashi gives Team 7 the application forms for the Chūnin Exams. Both Sasuke and Naruto accept, but Sakura is uncertain. Later, all three of Team 7 are attacked by a mysterious ninja from a different village. Moegi is captured by a mysterious ninja and is seen tied up and gagged with a cloth. Naruto eventually saves her, but the mysterious ninja escapes. Sakura is taken in by his genjutsu but quickly figures it out. Despite this, she is still uncertain about the exam. Sasuke easily defeats the ninja, telling him to stay out of Konohagakure. The ninja is revealed to be Iruka in disguise. He reports back to Kakashi, confirming they all passed his test. Inside the school registration for the exam is taking place, but two shinobi bars along the way warning all the genin about the exam. An altercation nearly takes place but Rock Lee steps in and diffuses the situation, which surprises Sasuke. Rock Lee later goes after Sasuke and challenges him for a fight.
