I think I don't have strength to keep going. I haven't been really enjoying the show ever since end of the 5 kage summit arc, that's like year and a half ago. Still i did keep watching but now fillers are everywhere and even without fillers there is little to no story or character development and recycling old antagonists. Whole Ninja War is a major dissapointment, with exactly one cool moment, when Madara summoned Gedo statue. So tired, that if Sasuke suddenly appeared and killed half the characters in the show, I would see it as a welcome change of pace.
I'll drop it for a few months and if I feel like it, come back and see if anything interesting happened.

Why was tobi acting serious with Itachi near by?

This is one of those rare times that I enjoyed filler.
Not just for the female spa fan service but they used some pretty good jokes too

Oh and naruto playing with himself

Ah, I remember when this special chapter was released, just a week before Road To Ninja movie was out in Japan.

Glad to see it animated, it was both funny, and sad at the times, especially on Naruto's part, overall I really enjoyed this one, something fresh to escape those fillers a little (too bad they are continuing from the next one :/ ).

I really enjoyed this episode. The animation was finally really good and it was as entertaining as I remembered from the manga. Good comedy moments and really touching ending. Can't wait to see the movie!

Because they like the manga, and want to see the manga adapted, so when we get this crap it is but natural to complain about it

I havent watched an episode of Naruto since the fillers started and man I couldnt feel any better. Naruto has been a mess lately or should I say since the ninja war started. They stretch out the action waaaaaaay too much. I know they don't want to catch up to the manga but theres too many fillers, and even the normal episodes have about 20 flashbacks we've already seen. And the animation has never reached the potential it had in episode 1-2. I just can't wait 'till this show is over.

I know it feels as though this is breaking the continuity but as it was explained, this is not a filler, its more of like a special episode adapted from the prologue chapter of road to ninja the movie. Personally i am glad they decided to anime it, it was pretty funny. If you really want something to do, watch the movie prologue to ninja after seeing this and it will make sense. It is the prequel to that movie. It has nothing to do with the main story.

Loved this episode, especially the fanservice of Hinata, Tenten, Ino and Sakura (would love to see more of that in the future). ^_^
I'm glad it was similar to the one-shot and not filled with steam like every other anime out there (damn you Ishihara Shintaro!), so I'm thankful for that.

Thank you, saved me time typing exact same thing.
But no complains about this episode, since it was, well, a prequel to a movie.
Now, as much as I hate fillers I just have to watch the next episode, Lee is going to fight? Seriously, I think I haven't seen him fight since, well, I don't even remember when he last fought.

This episode was hilarious. I was so glad they animated the road to ninja one shot. :)
Poor Naruto. :( I wanna hug him. <3

And more people continue to drop ns must not be real fans its so sad. you can always skip the fillers humans. =.=
i still dont get why they are still using fillers. im pretty sure they have enough manga now to go on DX

Well i just watched it, honestly i think some of you come on here and complain and not even watch it, just for the sake of complaining that its fillers. Which its not, but anyways.

This episode was great, i expected the studio to actually censor it, but they didn't. Full blown fanservice and the fangirls should go nuts over this episode, with naruhinata and all the males half naked, if your into that sort of that thing.

Their was just to many hilarious segments in this episode and i think this is the first time we have actually seen naruto's butt cheecks lol.

The part with shino having a Caterpillar on his penis LOL. Classic and so fits his characters. Hats off to kishimoto for coming up with such a hilarious joke. And when naruto had sakura's bra's hooked to his towl.

Then we get the conversation in the bath house about hinata being shy beacuse of her larger breasts.

We need some more naruto fanservice like this with some lighthearted comedy comments every once in a while. Naruto is just to serous to many actions, to many fights, it doesn't really focus on the daily normal life of a regular person because they are always out on missions.

I mean this is the first time in the anime's history that we have even bear witnessed to sakura's father and mother.

Haters will be haters, but i actually enjoyed it.

5/5

Though i have to say i do NOT like where the fillers are heading next it seems like they are intentionally breaking the continuity of the war arc which is just not good. This episode was an acception because it was the one shot special that was adapted. I can't say im looking forward to the upcoming fillers though. Judging by the title names, i would say the next episode is stand alone, but the next 3 are probably all part of a little mini arc.

I agree with that, but It muse be between story arcs with actual development. That's why I didin't mind fillers in Fairy Tail as they were between canon story arcs and fairly short, except for the last one. But here we have story arc, where nothing happens, becouse they are fighting dead people, filled with fillers, and to top it of we get this episode. Sure it was actually better than your common filler, but certainly not something I was hoping for at this point in time.

Like Rock Lee's comedy series? Yeah it worked because there is this serious series, if Naruto had never been created and it was just Rock Lee's show it wouldn't be nearly as good.

An alright episode with the prologue to road to ninja. The bath-scene was alright and the Akatsuki are moving with their plans but I see the full members are there so this must have happened quite a while ago.

This is another take written by kishimoto on an original story using the organization and tobi for different ideals. It has nothing to do with the canon story.

I enjoyed this episode, it was fun, enjoyable, interesting and sad at some points. Also it was like a day off the regular anime, exactly like the Lee's show.
Forgot to say, the spa jokes between Sakura and Hinata :D.
Wait what, next time is a filler inside a filler? I mean there is the main one, then this filler with Akatsuki, and next time a filler inside this Akatsuki filler? eh?

Also in some comments I'm reading that the Akatsuki part is something related to the Road to Ninja movie? Didn't see that one yet.

No. Those who dropped it are true fans, because this anime adaption bring shame to the name of Naruto. The producer is even worse, the director, script writer, and animator, they're just milking off the name of Naruto Shippuden, turning this into total crap. Well I think those who said they could drop it didn't mean it literally, they'll come back after a year or two to watch the canon material, they mean it like.. putting this on hold for the moment..

As for those who said they would put this on hold, please do not come back within 2 years, I doubt you'll receive any canon material at all within 2 years.. That makes 4 years in total without canon materials, my gosh, 4 years of time with all fillers, Imma cry.

Anyway, back on topic, it sucked. How can they possibly doubt Rock Lee after knowing him for years, I mean, Lee was never that kind of guy, and those people know it fully well, it's like Kishi just screw the characters over and over, it's ridiculous
