yeah his dad and shikamaru were there for some reason... never mentioned the chuunin thing. all they talked about were women...
neways all naruto said was that he would have won the chuunin exam but never mentioned he would definately be one.
it's already been proven that innersakura is strong as it was her that could "counterattack" ino's mind-control... she made the same face and said the same line that innersakura says so perhaps that's why she was useful... either way i'm glad sakura's done something useful. i dont really feel hate for her...
