Exactly right, Gennins don't have a team, but at some point, they have to learn to lead or else how can they become chuunin leaders in the first place?

That's why I said the idea for this episode was good. Especially the way Tsunade explained it to Naruto. Naruto should been all,

"Bitch, I don't need to learn leadership, the Hokage is the strongest ninja in the village! All I gotta do is beat the shit out of your ass and I get to go straight from Genin to Hokage! If I'm stronger than you, I gotta be the Hokage! Believe it!"

I think it is okay, as long as they don't do this kind of thing too often.Naruto used the "lovely ball of chakra" again, saw that coming when the second rock fell.
How lame is it that the kids actually ran up the mountain without being taught how to stick to surfaces?
Btw, anyone understood the wrist watch as a compass trick Neji taught his followers?

I think it was more using the watch like a sundial, which could tell you direction I suppose.

If you rely on subtitles alone (at least the DB version I watched), it won't make perfect sense. Not speaking Japanese, I can't say what Neji was actually telling, if compared to the subtitles. However, the images were right, although it's a matter of taste how you do the trick.

But anyway, the south lies halfway between the hour hand of a watch and the 12 position on the clock face, when the hour hand is pointing to the sun. Neji showed the students that they should take the halfway point between the hour hand and the 12 position, and face that halfway point to the sun, and south would be where the 12 position of the clock face is. That is of course in practice the exact same thing as facing the hour hand to the sun and then marking the halfway point to 12 as south.

But that's the trick. Neji is a smart fellow (does he even have a watch, himself? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img])
