In Naruto's Footsteps: The Friends' Paths

is an arc of the Naruto: Shippūden anime. It covers episodes 394 onwards. The arc focuses on the Chūnin Exams that took place during the time-skip. This arc takes place in the middle of Birth of the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.

The New Chūnin Exams
Tsunade arranges a meeting with Gaara, who was recently appointed Kazekage, to propose her plans of the new Chūnin Exams. During this meeting, Kankurō and Temari are unsure of Tsunade's intentions and she reveals her motive behind it is to lure Akatsuki in the open. Gaara proposes the exams be held in Sunagakure, hoping to bring Akatsuki out of hiding, as well as exposing those who are staging a coup d'état against him. Both sides then agree to sponsor the exams jointly — with the first phase held in Konoha, and the second phase held in Suna. Tsunade deploys her Anbu to the other villages, but her invitations are all declined, with each of the Kage refusing to have their villages take part. Elsewhere, Kakashi approaches Amegakure, preparing to meet Hanzō face-to-face.
