Part I[]
Chūnin Exams[]
During the first test Jirou is seated next to a decoy Chūnin. He immediately realized the task of cheating and skillfully copies the answers. He then writes coded cheat sheets for Natsuhi and Kohaku. Carefully motioning to Natsuhi, he tells her to create a distraction so he can pass the coded answers which she does splendidly. He along with his teammates all pass the first exam. Thanks to Kohaku's exceptional medical ninjutsu abilities Jirou and his teammates complete the second test without much damage. He faces his teammate Kohaku during the preliminaries and wins.
