| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ugh, flashbacks ruined it for me. Too long. Fitting, but long. Though each of the teams trying to show each other up was good lol. Lol Shino's moment. Punches one of the mini juubi and waits for that bug to enter its body. And Kiba's one clone xD Good stuff there. Glad to see all three using the Summoning Jutsu right at the end there. That was awesome. Really reminds you of the three Sannin; Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru. |

| FCK YEAH. Omg how i have been waiting for this shit to be animated and the studio did a fantastic job. Yeah there was a few flashbacks but it all was relevent and added to the emotion of the show. This is the naruto we all know and love. Man so much nostalgia with the use of the old sound tracks and all of the team 7, 8 and 10 fighting together. LOL at kiba, that guy seriously needs to stop trying to compete with naruto. Still i find his competitiveness hilarious. You are NEVER EVER GOING to reach naruto's level. Just give up. Words can't described how much i enjoyed this episode. I think this is probably my favorite episode in the entire series or at least one of my favorites next to the madara Vs hokages. Also those flash backs were very fitting for the scenes that took place. and dat cliff hanger!! The main 3 heroes, sasuske, sakura, naruto all using there summons, reminiscence of the time when the 3 legendary sannins fought. These upcoming episodes are going to just be awesome. |

| You know that s*** about to go down when they use Summoning Jutsu. Every time, it always pumps me up. Can't wait for more! |

| I predict lots of Sakura rants in this discussion, maybe a Sakura vs Hinata argument if we're lucky. Skipped the flashbacks, so I only got about 10 minutes of the episode =( The triple summoning jutsu scene was pretty good. I still don't understand why Gamakichi has grown so big in a few months when he barely grew between the three year time skip. I'll just go with it, feel like a bit of logic was sacrificed for symbolism there but whatever. "I've finally reached them" - Yeah, you keep telling yourself that Sakura. Finally get to see human yoyo animated. Halo Hurricane Jet next episode. |

| Yeah that whole flashback was unnecessary, one thing that irritates me about Naruto: shippuuden is the damn same old flashbacks, like we get it already. the summoning gave chill down my spine and seeing every team getting a piece of action was good too, that is until they killed it for Sai. Idk it may just be me but doesn't it seem that lately the animation has been kind of lazy, I know naruto art style isn't the best but it seems to be slacking a bit, idk maybe just me. |
 |
| "I've finally caught up with these two", lol. She defeats one enemy and thinks she's on Naruto and Sasuke's level. At that point Kishi really didn't know how to make her seem relatively useful. |
| Barrier is tough !! Sakura's resolve !! Showdown of power !! The new legends has been reborn !! Pretty good episode !!! |

| now we'll see some action with the summoning jutsu :D |
| "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" *faint* My body can't handle the awesomeness |
| Putting the flashbacks aside, this was a pretty damn good episode. We got something decent from most of the characters that have been sidelined since forever. Hinata's and Sai's showings were a little underwhelming though. The yo-yo jutsu was pretty awesome, even if the idea was "borrowed" from Togashi, again. |
| ha ha ha ha the face Naruto made when sakura showed her powers was just so funny, saying he was never going to reply to sakura again otherwise she will beat him to death, that face was just too priceless...still cracking up man.... |
 |
Apart from the excruciating flashback this was a good episode. It was a bit cheesy but still nice to see the other Konoha 11 members get some action. I must admit I don't like the idea of these "transmission beings" though.  I love how Hashirama ignored Madara last episode and now Madara is returning the favor xD I'm still confused as to why Madara isn't trying to stop them from attacking the 10-tails! Even if he thinks there's no need to worry one would hardly expect him to sit down and enjoy the scenery ^^ |
| idk, Felt boring to me. 3/5 |

Pretty good episode 4/5 The flashbacks are the reason why I took off 1 and the fact Sai and Hinata were super useless. |
 |
| A new voice actor for Sakura? |
| Nothing in this world lasts forever, and it´s time you accept that. It's better to not cling to these things that you will eventually lose. |
| good episodes. the new legendary ninja |
| I had to skip some of the flashbacks this episode. I kinda knew they might of played it since team 7 is back again. The fight was alright. I like how they used one of my favorite OST in the series again which extended for quite a bit of time in the second half. Anyways, it's like the first hokage said. A new generation is here. Oh and this face tells a story:  |
 |
| I feel like I'm watching Power Rangers for some reason... I'm not liking these past few episodes at all XD |
| The best part of this episode for me was the calm voice with which Madara denied Hashirama's clone a fight. He just wants to fight Hashirama with no limitations, all out. I can't wait to see the two of them get it on. Not a bad episode, maybe a little bit too many flashbacks. But good episode nonetheless. |
| Ohhhh Madara... these past 3 episodes have really made me laugh. Get out of the spotlight Sakura no one fucking cares about your sorrow and pity. Youre still pathetic. ehhhh and why do things have to turn like really gay when the other Konoha chounin think they have to show off? |
~my list
| Wow,i totally forgot Sai :I... I Loved the Human-Yoyo...best technique ever... Still,first hal of the episode was beyond boring,i cant stand Sakura and watching 10 minute Sakura flashback is torture for me...Also this Hinata>Naruto>Sakura thing started to become boring...I know this is not a romance anime or something but cant one of them just go and tell to him/her to forget it and move on... |
 |
| Loved this episode. Everyone has been honing their skills and have gotten really strong. Naruto's reaction when Sakura rek'd the battlefield lol. |
 |
| Cant wait for the next episode! A new era! The three student who used to train under Legendary Three Ninja!!! OMG. But yeah Sakura flashback at the front was redundant. And I don't understand how Sakura manage to control and store her chakra and that diamond seal on her forehead. hmm I should read the manga, yes? |

| Amazing episode,the next one sure looks great. |
  |
| Flashbacks werent really necessary imo, but it's good to see Sakura not being useless :) Madara and 1st Hokage - and their silly jokes :D |
 |
| Loved this episode, even though I don't like Sakura, her attacks were pretty epic. I also laughed a lot and the teams all getting competetive was just awesome. The summoning-jutsu... NICE! I also love how Madara just relaxes and waits for Hashirama and does nothing about the ninja's attacking the Ten-Tails haha Can't wait for the next episode! |
| Just Monika. |
| Sakura still thinking she caught up to the 2, lololo. |
 |
| enjoyable episode. ovo i'm really glad that sakura was able to more or less catch up to the rest of team 7 in terms of strength. watching the other teams show off was great as well~ but sai. he definitely could've been portrayed as more successful in his appearance. maybe it's proving a point that he's not originally a part of them, but it's still disappointing to see that he didn't play a role at all. best shot ha ha: |

Madara's attitude to this war so far has been "meeeh, whatever." Obito has been the one sweating over the whole thing. |
| It really was a good episode, just as the OP has already said, those flashbacks OMG -.- Those were way too long like 10 min or something how Sakura has finally caught up? |

| Yawn, Sakura monologue and flashbacks. She's the least interesting female character on Naruto. Too bad no shot of Team Guy because of Neji's death. |
| Nice Sakura ! |
 |
| ugh...too many haters saying she's not as strong as they make her out to be..or progressed or whatever the hell excuses they want to make. Sakura is awesome. And she is worthy of Team 7, along with Sai of course. Sure she doesnt have the extra chakra that the kyuubi lents naruto, or the uzumaki blood. Sure she doesn't have the sharingan and Uchiha clan blood. She comes from a not so lengendary line like her two companions. And she doesn't have a special power, like pretty much all the other from that class have (exception in lee as well). She went from a standard 12 yr old kunoichi with no background, to one of the most powerful Medical-nin with extraordinary strength, who even has the possibility of beating her master, one day, one of the legendary sannin, Lady Tsunade. It is even mentioned that she was able to master so many jutsu that so many have not been able to master. I'm not gonna stomp on Hinata or any other character like you guys do. But well, I can defend one of my favorite characters, and will always do. AND to the episode. Pretty cool. I like how the whole class basically showed off their progressed powers. Kiba still trying to compete with Naruto. Naruto's face at Sakura's basically punching like 10 monsters at once. Then that bigger one showing up and Sasuke and Naruto joining her side. Can't wait for the b1GZZ said: "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" *faint* My body can't handle the awesomeness And this! can't freaking wait! |

| I remember that chapter like it was yesterday, but it's been pertty long Starting to get in the groove for NS again~ |
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |
| I preferred the manga version of this episode more. The anime ruined it with all those flashbacks. |

I don't think he is apathetic. He is just laid back, and overconfident on how everything will work out. And he is Edo Tensi, so unlike Obito, he doesn't have to fear of a lot of things. And also unlike Obito, he doesn't want get down to the Jinchuricki stuff too quickly. |

| I don't give a damn what anyone says I LOVED THIS EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This episode got me so damn amped and excited! I am a person who has mixed feelings on Sakura but I enjoyed seeing her flashbacks and her not wanting to be left behind Naruto and Sasuke. Madara was hilarious when he refused to fight Hashirama because it was a wood clone lol. Kiba continues to make me laugh, he's comedic relief. He's the Yamcha of Naruto Shippuden. I loved seeing all the teams shine and totally kick ass with that amazing OST playing. It was also nice seeing Hinata talk to Neji and see Neji try to motivate her, RIP Neji. But wow, that ending tho..... What an ending, it was nice to see Sai join the Team 7 reunion by the way. But wow, seeing all 3 members of Team 7 and the students of the 3 Sannin do Kuchiyose no Justu was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had goosebumps when I saw it. What an amazing ending to the episode. 5/5 episode for me, another great episode of Naruto Shippuden. |
Core1019 said: Taking the bait, but if you are saying that this was a rip off Killua using a yoyo to fight then you are absolutely retarded. You're like those deadbeats that say Fairy Tail is a ripoff One Piece, when the only similarities between them is that two characters have similar character designs.Putting the flashbacks aside, this was a pretty damn good episode. We got something decent from most of the characters that have been sidelined since forever. Hinata's and Sai's showings were a little underwhelming though. The yo-yo jutsu was pretty awesome, even if the idea was "borrowed" from Togashi, again. |

| The 10minutes of flash back filler was annoying but i was happy to see things pick up in the last 10minutes. Decent episode, can't wait for next week! |
| Okay episode, everyone is leveling up. Sai was useless. The whole episode felt a bit corny. Like the character interactions aren't genuine anymore. |
 |
| Great episode! |
 |
| hmm... i only have two gripes with this episode. 1. animation after Sakura's/Team 7's moment was very annoying, kinda brought down some of the other team's moments. (mainly Hinata and Kiba) 2. i felt like there were a few pacing errors. like with shino's moment for example (again mostly after team 7/Sakura's moment). other than that, good episode. loved the focus on sakura and loved how everyone was putting in work. besides team 7, i believe Ino-shika-Cho were the most entertaining and awesome group on the field with their combo. |
| Flashbacks, Sai failed entrance, Sakura thinking she is same level as Sasuke and Naruto nope. But the face on Naruto when he see's Sakura's punch was funny. |

Add to that she's a total slut seeking Sasuke handsomeness again with a bitter attitude against Naruto, I thought she grew up a bit but a slut remain slut. I think you need to look up the definition of "slut" and she just friendzones Naruto, not a bitter thing at all. jnw93 said: Sakura is on your ["]Favorite Characters["] list so no one will take your bias[ed] opinion seriously... the[re] is no way she can be on the same level as N & S in such a small space of time. As for how she leveled up so much in such a short time, she's smarter and has better chakra control than the others, that's been noted since they were kids. As far as her catching up, I think she just means she is at the point where they can all trust each other's strength instead of her being shielded by them. Your assertion is biased itself (and hyperbolic) because Sakura is not on your "Favorite Characters" list and you can't speak for everyone. Also, it's anime...why waste your logic? Anyway, I'm pumped! It's cool the sannin-ni can do the summons at an even younger age than the originals (actually, not sure about that). Sasuke and Naruto checking out each other's mods, they will probably want to fight each other eventually lol. Go Sakura! I actually like her more because of her normalness compared to the others. Nice highlights of the other teams. Sai though...fatigue? Had the unit he was with reached the battlefield when Naruto shared his chakra or did he just hear about it and miss the power-up/healing? I like Sai but that entrance was lame. |

| Anime is better since team 7 is back! |
| The flashbacks were annoying!... That aside the episode was good. All the teams showing off was funny. Sasuke and Naruto still comparing themselves with each other. While seeing all the teams showing off I was literally thinking this "They haven't been showing sai lately, Now would be the perfect time!" *sees sai being saved by Naruto* "why did I think showing him was a good idea?" *face palms horribly*. |
