"Naruto" - Volume 06: "Sakura's Decision" Quiz

Answer: Snake

The giant snake was one of Orochimaru's summoning snakes, that he frequently uses in battle. His strongest snake was Manda, the boss of the snakes - a huge green eyed, purple snake.

Answer: Shadow Clone technique

By using the Shadow Clone technique, and making multiple shadow clones of himself, Naruto overfilled the snake's body with the clones. Eventually, the snake's body burst.

Answer: Hidden Grass village

The Ninja was from the Hidden Grass village and his name was Shiore. He and the rest of his team were killed by Orochimaru before the Chūnin Exams and had their identities stolen.

The name of the country that the Hidden Grass village is located in, was never revealed. The country borders four other countries; two of them are the Fire country and the Earth country and the other two are also unnamed. In these two unnamed countries are located the Hidden Rain and the Hidden Waterfall villages.

Answer: Cursed Seal of Heaven

Orochimaru's Cursed Seal technique is an A-Rank technique that allows the user to transform his or her body and with it increase their potential (speed, strength, stamina, etc.).

The Cursed Seal appears as a tattoo on the user's body. The tattoo is formed of three identical smaller tattoos in a circular pattern (three commas, three dots, etc.).

Originally, the power of the Cursed Seal came from Jūgo, who can absorb natural energy and with it transform his body (Sage Transformation). Orochimaru experimented on Jūgo and developed the Cursed Seal.

Answer: Anko Mitarashi

Orochimaru was Anko's teacher so she was one of the first people to receive the Cursed Seal, as an experiment that is.

The Cursed Seal has two stages. In the first one, the Cursed Seal, the tattoo, spreads all over the user's body, as if their whole body was tattooed with similar marks as the original one. In the second stage, the Cursed Seal totally envelops the user's body. Their body starts to mutate, skin changes (gray, brown), eyes turn yellow with a black sclerae, hair grows long, etc.

But not everyone is successful with controlling the Cursed Seal. It can cause pain, suffering and people can go mad from it. There have been only two people to reach Jūgo's level of transformation: Kimimaro Kaguya, who had the Cursed Seal of Earth and Sasuke Uchiha who had the Cursed Seal of Heaven, the two strongest Cursed Seals.

Answer: Rock Lee

Rock Lee is a Ninja from the Fire Country, from the Hidden Leaf village.

Lee graduated from the Ninja Academy and became a Genin (Low Ninja) at age of twelve. He was put in Team Guy, along with Neji Hyūga and Tenten, under the leadership of Might Guy.

Lee was promoted to a Chūnin (Middle Ninja) at the age of fifteen.

An interesting fact about Lee is that he has no talent for Ninjutsu (Ninja techniques), the most practiced techniques. That's why Lee decided that he will put all his training into improving his Taijutsu (Body techniques) and became a Taijutsu specialist.

Masashi Kishimoto, the author of "Naruto", based Lee's character on Bruce Lee. Kishimoto's character looks very similar to Bruce Lee and even has the same birth date as him (November 27).

Answer: Front Lotus

The Front Lotus is a B-Rank Taijutsu (Body techniques)/Kinjutsu (Forbidden techniques).

The technique is performed by the user kicking their opponent into the air, while performing the Shadow of the Dancing Leaf technique. In the air, the user wraps their opponent in bandages (or some other way that will restrain them) and while rotating, with head first down, crushes them in the ground. Before the impact happens, the user releases the opponent and lets them crush alone.

This technique harms the user too, because for its usage the First Gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Opening, has to be opened. That way the flow of Chakra will be increased.

Answer: Melody Arm

The Melody Arm is a metal gauntlet, which is worn on the arm. The metal part of it stretches from the wrist to the elbow.

By moving the arm, the gauntlet can increase or absorb sound waves. The sound waves can also be controlled by the user's Chakra and used to attack the opponent's inner ear, which can cause physical and mental injures.

The Melody Arm can also be used as a shield to block physical attacks.

Answer: Decapitating Airwaves

The Decapitating Airwaves technique is a D-Rank technique.

Zaku, by using the air tubes implanted in his arms to control the air pressure in the same ones, was able create supersonic blasts of air.

This technique had an enhanced version called Zankūkyokuha (Extreme Decapitating Airwaves), and was ranked as a C-Rank technique.

Answer: Team 10

Team 10, later known as Team Asuma, was made up of Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, Chōji Akimichi and their Jōnin (High Ninja) leader Asuma Sarutobi.

Teams made of the Nara, Yamanaka and Akimichi Clans were known as the Ino-Shika-Chō Trio, because of their battle formation also named Ino-Shika-Chō.
