| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice... I think I'll start watching Naruto again :) It's good. |

| This was a really sad episode. |
 |
| Funny episode hehe Naruto-sasuke moment about the tip of Sakura's chakra molding hehehe |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Poor Inari. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Poor Poochie :( :( :( Poor Inari :( :( :( I nearly cried :( |
 |
| Damn that Gato is some low-life piece of shit, killing a good man like that, just to show off who's the richest/powerful man in the region among the villagers. It was really a sad episode and this episode alone proves that this isn't a show just "for kids". Really moving stuff it had and if it was a children's anime it would be joyful everytime with no cruesome bloody scenes, sad background stories and other drama. |
| Pretty good episode. |

| His dog leaving him like that wasn't realistic at all. Dogs are one of the few creatures in the world which won't abandon you whatever you do, but well, because of that he met Kaiza... which also led his depression. It's all because of the dog! :P |
 |
| Kaiza... This episode really hit my soft spot. It's been a while, so this is kind of refreshing. "Hero"... that word means a little too much for me. Kaiza's quote was so simple, yet so deep. Perhaps it was the actions behind the words, the personality/charisma of the man, or even that final smile. I hope those bastards get what's coming to them, 100 fold. 5/5 |

| That flashback was very sad. I think it's great that we've gotten to see into the personalities and backgrounds of non-main characters. Sakura is calm and focused, Inari is depressed, and the bridge-builer is determined and caring. Also, we now know the history of their village and have seen that they are so poor. I wish sakura had said something to Naruto & Sasuke when they were eating food so greedily, if they had known the village's poverty and the amount of homeless people they might have thought about considering themselves lucky and only eating what they need. Great episode. I have to say that since last episode, I am enjoying this series a whole lot more. Time to bump up the rating I gave this to 10. |
| This episode is sad :( |
| Rewatching! Very sad episode with a great backstory. |
 |
| Very sad episode. I can't wait until Gato gets what he deserves!! ★4/5 |
| I feel bad for Inari |
 |
| The bullying scene reminded me of Elfen Lied. |

| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Damn what a melodramatic backstory :/ pretty good episode though! |
 |
| Wow darkest episode yet, really hope that piece of shit gets what's coming! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| This episode was so boring, it had nothing to do with the plot, they just desided to show as some random guy |
 |
| that was sad story. too bad though it caught the entire episode. naruto is the man! |
| Sasuke is a tsundere, teehee |
| The story of the hero struck me to the very heart. A very touching and sad episode. And I just fell in love with Naruto here. When he listened to the story of the boy and his named dad, he looked so real. His kindness, participation and attention were read in his eyes... |
| I've been enjoying this show from the start, but now things are starting to shape up in a much more compelling way. The training aspect being doubled down on with the first section of this episode is extremely welcomed. Always love when this is an actual key factor in the character development and not just an afterthought. Obviously, the very first few episodes were all about training, but it really is nice knowing it's not a one-off thing. Hope that holds true as the series goes on. The amount of lore we get for Inari and the Land of Waves is just great, and something I definitely wanted to see. This new locale was already considerably different due to its lack of shinobi, but it's something that makes a lot more sense/feels more justified given what we know about Gato now. He's a mob boss with an ego, and honestly a great first major antagonist for Naruto and the gang. Really good episode! |
