| How did Minato come up with the name Rasengan? -Klad- said: Karin gets disgusting each episode. Wtfs wrong with her? Sasuke tried to kill her several times, even called her an useless tool, which means that Sasuke doesn't even care for her existence.. Masochism? Considering the bite marks, I wouldn't put it past her. |

| This anime is quite lacking when it comes to action but so far I think all the dramatic parts has been handled well. I really like the addition of sannin flashback that wasn't present in the manga as it gave more insight towards their relationship and made the impact of Tsunade remembering Jiraiya and Oro's proclamation that Jiraiya might have changed too even more powerful. As a huge fan of Jiraiya I'm just glad to see him again even if it's just a little while. It's unfair how he's the only dead one among the sannin, especially considering how Oro has been revived countless times. |

-Klad- said: Grunbeld said: I don't remember, how bad were her injuries? PS. Wow the Kage survived, that totally makes sense. Also helps make Madara feel like a real threat. Her body was cut in half. Holy shit, you're right. What the hell Kishi? Make that 6 consecutive holes in 5 episodes. exLightning said: Well it was pretty much fodder but the episodes have been better since Sasuke returned to the good side, at least for now. But yeah I agree this needs more deaths, Not that I like them since Flashbacks are a sure thing to follow them but it makes the whole arc seem important like it should feel. The ship has sailed I just wish half team 11 gets wiped before the end. And for Orochimaru not to be a wimp. I mean I just don't see Zombie Madara as a final villain, nor Tobi. |

| True, I can't tell you how disappointed I was when those Ten-tail "transmission" beings showed up. Basically seemed like a waste of time since we've had that happen already with the zetsu's. Though I hope Kakashi and Obito actually get through to each other and something of significance happens. I'd hate for the episode to end with nothing happening except more back and forth dialogue. |
SandyBoi said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The Three Way Deadlock huh.. Liked the beginning, Sasuke and Naruto working together. And Sakura healing the alliance LOL Karin and Orochimaru. Karin: "He tried to kill me... and it was irresistible" XD Oh yes, Orochimaru is definitely the weirdest XD Hm.. I don't remember that flashback being in the manga.. What an interesting episode, the first half was supper awesome with the TRIO. The second half was slower, but interesting as well. I'm glad Lady Tsunade survived. I don't know why people want her dead. haters? If you want someone to die, then let's kill ur fav chara? no? ok... Anyway, ahh I'm so proud like Tsunade, of sakura. Progressing so much. I wonder what Sai meant when he said what were Sasuke's real intentions. If he really just wants to help and become hokage, then by all means. welcome. Although I know that when the war ends (if it does), he's going to be questioned at least. I mean he was a rogue ninja, pretty much his companions all are.. I just realized, they never reanimated jiraiya? Well cool ep! was excited for it. XD 9/10 |

Not that I mind, I'm not a fan of the jutsu anyway, but there's gotta be some way they could find his DNA, especially since Kabuto lived Konoha, Orochimaru was really close to him once, and Jiraiya was particularly very.... Perverted. |

| Oh Karin... why must thee be so stupid? Even though I've already seen this scene of Orochimaru being funny in the manga, I'm still surprised to see him do so xD |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
| Cool episode. Orochimaru gives off this enlightened feel lol. |
 |
| Awesome! Since the last 2 episodes I have seen much fight, memories from the team 7 and sannis one's in middle of a war! :D |

| I like this episode. Not love. Minato is so funny. He was like hmm we need to give that jutsu a name. Sorry I couldn't find the anime picture of him naming sasuke and Naruto jutsu so I use the manga picture instead.  Finally we get to know what happen to the rest of the kage. I was wondering for very long what happened to them. and weird , tsunade body is being cut into half and it can be stitch back again?!?! and yeah , this episode let me see another side of orochimaru saving tsunade and his humor.  and I miss jiraiya when I see the flashback :( SERIOUSLY NEXT EPISODE OBITO VS KAKASHI AGAIN?!?

| K. That Duo attack was cool.. for its 10 second endurance. Everything was dead boring. Next to zero animation, everyone was literally just standing around. Then Sasuke's former travel companions make that scene stupid. Like really, the slight "comedy" in Naruto is no longer funny at all. oo so Tsunade was bisected all this time. Wouldve loved to have seen that gore if this were a seinin lol. |

DarkMorpher said: With her healing jutsu, I'm not surprised she could survive. Her healing jutsu has always been insane, and in the Naruto universe it has only been, what, like an hour? Remember, this is the same girl that was getting impaled and walking it off not too long ago.Tsunade's body was cut in half and she survives. This f*cking show... What annoys me about it is how she got saved when there was no point of doing so (like I said before, she might be important in the future but from this point in the anime to where the manga is she is completely irrelevant, it totally cheapens the drama aspect). |

DarkMorpher said: Tsunade's body was cut in half and she survives. This f*cking show... Since your so focused on the flaws in the show. Tsunade's Creation Rebirth was a technique that makes use of the massive amounts of chakra stored in her "Strength of a Hundred Seal" to continuously create new cells in her body, healing any wound and even growing back missing organs, this for sure contributed to her survival when she was bisected.

| I believe when someone is cut in half, they get at least... Paralyzed?.... If not.. You know dead? The only thing stupid is the plot hole itself. No need to harass people for mentioning it. Also I know some people will use the "fiction" card, but if body anatomy was eatablished as more or less the same minus the eyes, and aura then the rest still follows world logic to some extent. |

Well there wasn't any serious stuff going on, during those comedic scenes, so I didn't really think it was out of place. But fair enough, I can understand and relate to getting annoyed by comedic scenes in a serious anime. I think the amount of comedy in Naruto is almost perfect, because there is never comedy in the most serious moments, and there is a good mix and tone. Yeah I liked those too. |

If anything, the thing I call bs on is the fact that Tsunade had enough chakra to heal all the fatally wounded Kage and herself, especially after she was just destroyed by Madara. Imo even the chakra Dan gave her shouldn't have been enough. |

| Ahhh man, I miss Jiraiya... |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| I just... don't know even how to put it. Naruto is one of my favorite stories but you can feel that the end is near in a bad way. I always thought authors who make a living out of one series, like Kishi certainly was/is, have to be extremely talented and patient to put up with one of the stories that they don't take interest in any longer. I mean... they keep writing it because to public demands, because it is popular and because it is successful, but they don't "feel" the characters anymore, they dont care as much, you can really see that they don't love the story anymore, they got bored or simply already told whatever they wanted to tell as far as storytelling goes. I feel this is what is happening to Naruto and it pains me. I guess it will always feel like unfinished because the way it was wrapped up makes too little sense and feels out of place. There is no epicness in the story anymore, I don't feel that "greatness" of characters any longer, even the reunion of the SasukexNarutoXSakura team did not have an impact.... because the storytelling simply lost its spark. Very sad. |

Very sad. Speak for yourself please. A look literally above you, will show you that some still feel passion towards the series. And quite many loved Episode 372, and felt an impact and excitement from the reunion of team 7. And reading any of Kishimoto's latest interviews will tell you that he is still excited about his series and has a lot of love for the characters,.. Not to mention that he is really more involved in his series than ever (Being part of the Kakashi filler arc, Writing for the movie, and being involved in it, since it could be canon, writing the backstory and design for the Akatsuki in the latest game, etc) But then again, this is an extremely subjective based feeling thing, that can't even be discussed and argued in a meaningful way, and most of what is empty and baseless, and it most likely you are confusing your lack of interest and love for the series, for something inherent. |

| It's interesting how the relationship between the summoner and summoned creature can have such a big difference. Naruto and Gamakichi are like friends. Sakura call Katsuyu with the suffix -sama, and shes like Sakura-chan lol which is understandable. Sasuke is like Aoda's true master, and he call him Sasuke-sama. I think its great the anime explained that Katsuyu is originally very big, and they usually only summoned a certain part of it, which explains why Sakura and T sunade can summon it at the same time. Did the manga explained this? I couldn't remember. Orochimaru is such a comical character. When he was threatening Suigetsu and Karin, his character remind me of how he's like in Naruto SD. I think i'm slowly liking Orochimaru alot haha. tsudecimo said: Awesome conversation xD You probably didn't watch Naruto SD. Orochimaru is hilarious.

| The Three Way Deadlock was still good even in the present. Wind will always magnify fire. Naruto and Sasuke are compatible. Some flashbacks were shown too. I wish Jiraiya was there so that there will be two Three Way Deadlocks. This episode was a bit slow imo. |
| Jiraiya would be so proud of Naruto right now. |
| Orochimaru epicness |
 |
| Orochimaru made a joke! anyway I've always liked his character. His infinite desire for knowledge has always interested me and now I'd say I like him even more.

| Exciting episode, Minato's naming of the jutsus is still the best though. LeftWingGuerilla said: Hiroyuki Yamashita's episode is up next week. Should be good considering he's most likely handling an action-packed episode. Interesting. Going by the preview, also watching his works, this really gets my adrenaline worked up. The animation looks too glorious. |

laldonkaments said: And yet you try exactly to do this. Leave that girl alone dude, her post is more than legit and a lot of ppl think the same way. The storywriting gets to a point where it's so convenient and forced that it just feels wrong (and therefore bad). Kishi totally abrogates common sense and the laws of nature & physics (at least the little there was to begin with) and bends everything the way he wants the story to follow. Karin has to forgive Sazuke easily. Why? Because otherwise she would have no reason to join the war. Orochimaru, the best antagonist of the series, turns into a mere pet. Why? Otherwise noone would revive the Kage. Sazuke's attitude must be (temporary?) reset to neutral. Why? So that he can fight alongside Naruto in the war, I mean that's what all the fans are leeching for, right? Tsunade must survive. Why? Ehm... basically, nobody knows. ^^ And there are other problems aswell I don't wanna discuss about (like animation quality, powerscaling, ...). This basically adds all up to the feeling she describes. And if you read the manga you know that it'll get even worse... That's my point, genius. Interpreting ''love'' in the writing of characters and the story is a subjective feeling, yet all what she wrote had no self realization that it's just her opinion and her own experience, hence what I wrote. If she ended all what she said with ''but that's just how I feel'' I wouldn't have replied to her at all or even cared in the slightest. ''I agree with what she said because it's a negative post about a popular series that I hate, so that's why it's super legit and true XD!!111'' yeah that's what you just said. They are still in the minority, a vocal minority is still a minority, and like I said the problem I had here, was the fact that she wasn't self aware that it's her opinion, I don't see the point in implying what you write as some sort of fact, when it's clearly isn't, using ''I'' is not hard. Not really. I'm a manga reader, and I didn't feel there was any forced plot developments or conveniences like you claim. So what if Karin forgave Sasuke, what's the big deal here, it's not something big or a major plot development, that's nothing more than a nitpick. That's your opinion, Orochimaru is not the best antagonist of the series or even close imo, Orochimaru motivations towards Sasuke have been established when he summoned the Kages back, other than that, he may have ulterior motives, and reasons to be so interested in Sasuke, his earlier motivations wouldn't work now anyway, Sasuke is too strong for him now, and it seems trivial compared to the war that is going on, so Oro's character seems natural, and if anything more interesting, because he is shown in a different light. Not really, Sasuke's character was always strongly connected and heavily impacted by Itachi, the change in Sasuke happened because of Itachi, not because of Naruto, or because the author wanted Sasuke to join Naruto, not to mention that Sasuke has a lot of subtle hints that make him mysterious, and make his motivations unclear, Sasuke's desire for revenge changed was not there anymore, so him joining Naruto is not surprising in the slightest, considering they have a shared goal of saving the world, this doesn't mean they are in the same page or that they are even friends, they still have a lot of conflicting views. Why should she die is the question, what's the point of that? Naruto isn't a series that uses shock value, death is always with a purpose in mind in the series. Come up with some decent criticism and maybe waste your time on something better than bashing a popular series, because fuck it this is the internet, and being a toxic person is so cool~ |

| Orochimaru is quickly being reduced to the role of comic relief. For fuk sake, he was once the mighty villain of this series. WTF is wrong with this series. And let's not start with Karin and her completely illogical attraction to Sasuke, or every other mess unfolding in the manga too. |
| I don't find it weird for Kishi to never kill Tsunade , she said somehow somewhere that as long as she has chakra she wont die , not in the battlefield at least , I'd worry about other plot holes if I were you people. |
| Jugo six-pack fan service much? |
BishoooDuck said: I don't find it weird for Kishi to never kill Tsunade , she said somehow somewhere that as long as she has chakra she wont die , not in the battlefield at least , I'd worry about other plot holes if I were you people. What plot holes? |
|
| Ok so all the kage survived, how very unbelivably lucky. Especially when you're cut in half but ok. |
| Decent episode, honestly thought it was going to be more intense but i did enjoy it. Didn't expect Orochimaru to turn "good(?)" or be good i should say. One thing i didn't get was why aren't they showing those sexy red eyes of Saskue in this episode, their so bland and dull in this episode not that crimson blood red like normal. |
