Everyone's Respective Battles…!! (chapter 42)

Worried that accepting Hinata's help might get her expelled from the test, Naruto decides not to glance at her answer sheet. He instead pins everything on the exam's closing question, the tenth item that the proctors have promised will arrive only near the end. As the clock runs down, candidates keep quietly copying from one another, more teams are cut for being caught, and eventually that long-awaited final question is handed to whoever remains.

Naruto turns away a chance to duplicate Hinata's paper so that she will not be penalised. He resolves to stake his passing grade on the tenth question alone. The covert cheating drags on and further examinees are eliminated for slipping up. With the room thinned out, the proctors finally present that decisive last problem to the surviving genin.

This installment sits within the written examination portion of the Chunin Exams storyline and was gathered into the fifth tankobon volume. Viz Media issued it in English under the alternate title To Each His Own. It first ran in a combined 2000 issue of the source magazine.
