Naruto's Chunin Exam is one of the series' most beloved arcs, and one early twist actually has more historical precedent than fans might assume.
Naruto's Chunin Exams arc dominates the early part of the series, with the cast of young ninja being evaluated on their readiness for the next rank. Although the Forest of Death and one-on-one fight are more action-oriented, the first component of the Chunin Exams contains one of the arc's most interesting twists and a fascinating historical parallel. Although the written test only lasts two episodes, they are among the most memorable early episodes of the series.
Naruto's Chunin Exams Take Inspiration From Sparta The lesson the Chunin Exam candidates are being forced to learn by a deliberately impossible test parallels the actual training methods used in the historical Spartan military academy, known in Greek as the agoge. Ancient Greek historian Xenophon explains:
Someone may ask: But why, if he believed stealing to be a fine thing, did he have the boy who was caught beaten with many stripes? I reply: Because in all cases men punish a learner for not carrying out properly whatever he is taught to do. So the Spartans chastise those who get caught for stealing badly.
