| One of the best episodes for me. Kushina and Minato were so cute :3 |
 |
| This episode was so awesome.Kushina and Minato were so cute.I could watch flashbacks with them for year or more xDD They could make fillers with them. Looking forward to next ep |
| Great episode, first time in ages I've actually enjoyed a few episodes of Shippuuden in a row. |

x5exotic said: Nice episode...Particularly beautiful Mini-Minato's voice is terrible though, sounds too old! Those are some wacky-ass ninjas if Kushina had the time to scream before being kidnapped, also when you kidnap someone so important you might as well NOT chill in forests walking,.. just carry her and go tree hopping ASAP -.- I'm really liking the pace of this arc...glad they are handling it well x) Any time I see ninja's walking through a forest, I wonder why the hell they are walking. And there are times when they are urgently running on the ground to do something very important (like saving someone) and I'm like WHY AREN'T YOU TREE HOPPING GO GO GO GO ARRGh. /rant |

| Lol. Now, that was interesting to watch. But hmm, I guess a better name for this episode (BTW, I'm guessing I've never read the manga): 246: How I Met Your "Father"! rofl 247: How I gave birth to you and why Kyuubi was sealed in you. 248: Goodbye! Kushina's last mission: Controlling Kyuubi's chakra! I really don't mind getting to know the past and everything about Naruto's family but I was kind of hoping for a lil' more fast pace ... Oh well, 4/5. |
 When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. |
| I love this episode so much! Especially all of Naruto's reactions. He's so cute..! Such heartwarming moments. "Anata aishiteru".. Naruto.. I feel so happy for you. ;-; <3 |
 |
| KUSHIIIINAAAA >w<~! And why 12 years old Minato is more manly than all of my almost 16 years old classmates? I love him! Loved this ep, can't wait 'till next one! :D |
  |
| Kawaii ^^ Kushina x Minato is really cute. I love this episode -^^- Kushina is the best kunoichi! |

| Very nice ep' - have waited for this for a while and it didn't really dissapoint. I wasn't too impressed with the filler turning Kushina into yet another 'angry Naruto girl' though; they could have easily portrayed her a little more like Naruto (as Jiraya and Tsunade stated) during the filler moments, but nevermind, 4/5. |
 |
| Hmm, it seems like they're making Naruto and Sakura mirror Minato and Kushina's relationship. Although I really hope Naruto doesn't end up with Sakura. Anyway good episode. |
| Naruto's mother, Kushina! I LOVE this episode, 5/5! It's SO CUTE! SO heart-warming, I Love it! BEST FAVORITE episode ever! I read it in the manga, and I'm so glad to have watched it! so cute~ =3 |
abaanda said: was waiting for this to get animated XD Epic!!!!!!! |
| great episode loved it!!!! |
weni said: am just curious , when the nine tails attacked the leaf village it took almost every ninja to attack and hold him and minato sealing the nine tails , so in this episode naruto alone was able to weaken the nine tails so what does that mean :PP He wasn't alone, his mom's chakra helped him out. Great episode BTW. |
| It was one of those episodes that u wanted to see since u started to watch the anime. Great moment for Naruto. |
| i love narutos mother. this was the best episode evereevevrevrervevrevrevrevreve ever |
 |
| Ah, what a beautiful episode. Naruto finally meets his mother and learns about her upbringing and how she met his father. Gotta love love stories, eh? I tell you I had man-tears when Naruto hugged Kushina. Looking forward to the "full circle" episode that explains what happened back then. |
| I've Shed a tear, <3 Kushina 6/5 |
| Minato and Kishuna make a cute couple <3 Next week, was that Madara? Oh noes! |

  |
| - So happy to see this finally animated. :] - I still love how he hugs Kushina but punches Minato. lol |
| Such a cute episode. I was waiting for this to get animated. Now, I finally got to watch it. XD |
| Just watched this episode (I dropped Naruto ages ago) because I absolutely love Kushina and Minato together as a pairing. I had a stupid smile stuck on my face the entire time. Very heartwarming - this little "arc" of Minato/Kushina's past is easily the best part of Naruto: Shippuuden. |
| Absolutely beautiful episode. So much emotion that I completely fell in love with. This is the greatness of Shippuuden I missed so much. :D |
| This was an awesome epic episode! I loved it. Finally we are able to see Naruto's mother and a piece of her and Minato's story. I wish the anime was "Minato" instead of Nauto XD Anyway cant wait to see the next episode, looks promising! 5/5 |
 |
| This was such a great epsiode! I really haven't come to expect episodes like this from the Naruto series but this raises the bar a bit. Great backstory about Minato and Kushina, it makes you wonder what their life would have been like if they could have raised Naruto.. I am excited on what's to come. And btw, I love red hair. |
| Another great episode! And btw, redhead are awesome, always! |
| ... |
| What a lovely story the thread of fate is a nice way to put things, and how they said combing yellow and red made orange. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| so pretty much this scene when kushina first went to the ninja academy is the reason why I started watching Naruto. Little did I know that she wasn't gonna be in that much. :/ PS, she reminds me a little of Sakura. :D |
 |
| AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I wasn't expecting that! |
| So that is the story behind the orange uniform. I knew that a self respective ninja shouldn't wear such bright colors unless they wanted to blend into a crowd of electrical workers! |

| episode was fantastic. period, I love this arc to death |
| Kushina is soo damn beautiful and a nice character. Now it's clear how Naruto got his character traits. xD |
| One of my favorite episodes, it was just so exceptionally beautiful in everything. I honestly teared up a lot through out it. So emotional, I was genuinely happy while watching. I loved seeing Naruto's happy face. Just... perfection. This is one of the episodes that makes re-watching so enjoyable. This episode just made my whole week <3 <3 <3 |
 |
| This is the episode I've been waiting for for so long. </3 Minato & Kushina. The best couple ever. They match perfectly together. |
| so... cute... don't... cry... omg, no. *sobs* How can she be so gorgeous :O and Minato is badass, I just loved this episode. Especially when Kushina hits Naruto like 3 minutes after finally meeting her son xD My reaction was "you should have pink hair not red" hahah :P |
| One of the best episodes. Who would have thought Naruto and Kushina would be so alike!? Their long awaited meeting was very emotional. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
