Still don't think Orochimaru will be cast aside so easy. And if I'm not mistaken the Chuunin Exams have more political and social significance for the other villages NOT to participate. After all, it is somewhat a bragging ground/talent scout for the ninja to the feudal lords who attend. Better ninja = more jobs and more jobs = more money. As well greater ninja skill = more political/military power. It's not something to be taken so lightly.

There was a mistake in this episode. It shows Naruto's jacket being blown open by the nine tails chakra and then immediately after it's zipped up again. I thought it was a great episode anyway though. I finally got to see the head of Hyuuga fight.
