Sarada and Cho-Cho are chosen for the third match of the final round of the Chunin Exam. Even though they're best friends, the two make a promise to each other to give it everything that they've got and take the fight seriously.

As a chunin, Sarada will become Team 7's new captain, relieving Konohamaru of his duties. The team becomes saddened by this fact, but when a mission Konohamaru is on goes awry, they ask to have one final mission with him as their leader.
