I don't have much to say about this episode. I liked that they played on the audience's expectation that Sakura would be taken in by the dead Sasuke illusion and have her know exactly what's up. Other wise....ehhh. Naruto's preliminary was nothing we haven't seen before and we barely saw anything of Sasuke's. I am utterly uninterested in the ninja-goons from the other villages. That dude who asked Sakura out looks incredibly fucked.

I, in contrast, am actually really interested in where this is going. I'm hoping it's some sort of tournament because I like fighting tournaments, if they are done right. For example, the one's in Dragon Ball were pretty cool.

since when is sakura the best at seeing through genjutsu in the squad??

also this is the third image of sasuke being dead that she's seen (the two illusions, and the one near-death experience). i'd be really freaked out by this fact if i were her...

Why is the Naruto anime (canon episodes!!!) full of stuff that never happened in the manga? It is so damn tiring. Those things don't make sense.. Some of those are funny, alright, but most of them are just nonsense..

LOL I ship Rock Lee and Sakura to death!!

I can't believe Sakura wasn't that annoying in this episode. I'm so surprised. Maybe because it wasn't too much about her lol but I liked that she wasn't delusional about Sasuke asking her for a walk. However, he complimented her skills (canon), I liked that. Sasuke is starting to care for his teammates..

I like how the rookies got tested throughout this episode. That was pretty cool. I can't wait to see what happens in the Chunin Exams, and what kind of abilities and jutsu all these other genin have! ★4/5

Good ep. The rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke is getting tense... Although at least Naruto won't be alone now in the reject party! He now has Rock Lee with him...

I'm interested to see where it goes with that Gaara guy. Can't wait to watch the next ep!

Gosh I just realized that Konohamaru's japanese voice actor is the same as Chopper from One Piece. That makes him so much better!

If I was Sakura I would have moved on from Sasuke for Rock Lee. He's absolutely adorable AND he's sweet.
