When the students get to the part of the exam where they have to fight eachother, the instructor says that they will fight till someone dies or is unable to continue or something like that. What the hell...they're just kids...probably no older then 16 some of them. What's this whole "to the death" thing. And why don't these kids have parents?

They do have parents, some you'll see later. And to the death? Well, being a ninja is a pretty serious(minus naruto, lol) thing in that universe. It's not a "oh sweet, I'm a ninja, I do special moves!" kind of thing for most people.
Also, it doesn't mean TO THE DEATH rather than killing your opponent is one way to victory. It's obvious that Naruto or Sakura probably doesn't want to kill a friend from Konoha, so they'd choose to just beat their opponent. Just watch the show lol. |

They have parents, it's just that a lot of them are either in support for the whole Chuunin promotion or spoiler[ dead, like Sasuke's, Naruto's, and soon to be Gaara's.]
I think the whole "death" thing is just to make it sound more dramatic, since you can't really kill kids in shounen series this day now (although, Shakugan no Shana would beg to differ  ).

i think that during that period of the chunin selection exam the term to the death has many meanings . meanings that i may not fully understand.
well i belive that when they say to the death means that everytime a ninja fights whether it's a fellow village member or an outsider when fighting you must subdue your oponent at all costs because beating up someone and walking away would only make that person get better and come back again like zabuza momochi. after being beaten up he still came back. even orochimaru spoiler[ after attempting to take over konoha and failed doesn't mean he won't come back another day] so i think to the death really means to an extent that your oponent will not come back again, live to see another day or just beat him up good so it leaves an impression of fear. lol that's just what i think. |

I see. I have another question. You know the headbands that they wear. Are those manditory or not. Because Gaara doesn't wear one. Neither does the chick with the fan or the puppet guy.

Umm... those are mandatory, it's just not required to actually wear them on the HEAD. Every ninja carries one and has it on display.

Umm, the chick with the fan (Temari) wears hers around her neck. The puppet guy (Kankuro) has his on a whole hoodie that he wears. As for Gaara, I know he has it on somewhere. I'm pretty sure it's on the backside of tan-colored sash that he wears. I can't find a picture of it on Google though. |

Just watch more episodes of the anime instead of asking so many goddahm questions. It really gets interesting later on. |

A shinobi cannot let their enemies live. You may not know of this, but in Peacemaker Kurogane Volume 3, spoiler[ Suzu (evil dude) tells Tetsunosuke (good guy) that he was ordered by his sensei to kill him, but hesitated and let him live. Because of that, Tetsu caused the death of Suzu's sensei in that same battle at the Ikeda Inn.] Basically, this teaches the kids to not spare lives. As Haku said, Shinobi are tools to be used by the village to protect the village. [EDIT: Use spoiler tags next time. -TK] |

USE SPOILER TAGS, CYBORG.
If I hadn't seen that episode of Peacemaker, you'd have spoiled it for me. Better watch that in the future. |

That counts as a spoiler? In the manga, that was basically told of in the first Volume. |
