| Flashbacks, Flashbacks everywhere. It got really interesting at the end and of course that's where they end it. Oh haven't we all done that before. Whenever there's something sealed we always bend the pages to get a sneak peak at it. |
 |
| Are you kidding people? The flashbacks were actually nice in this ep!!!!!! And I CANT BELIVE KARIN KNEW SASUKE FROM THE EXAM! OMG!!! SCANDALOUS! |
     |
| Too many flashbacks for one episode. |
 |
| I gave it 3/5 :/ most of the episode was flash backs.. which was kinda stupid.. I don't know how many flashbacks we've seen regarding sakura's memory.. but it's kinda getting old D: |

beep said: I don't understand why they have to put those oh-so-good flashbacks like how Sasuke met Karin in the past, which clearly cannot have happened... Actually, that was cannon :D |
| That.was.a.waste.of.time lol! but the part in teh end, teh omake makde up for it. Too many flash backs and is sakura just telling bulshit again? Cause if sasuke is going to kill karin, he might need a new medical nin, sakura could be a replacement but that would be too stupid. |
| 2/5 gah, it's so dissappointing waiting a whole week for an episode.. and then this turns out to be BS.. :/ I didn't mind the first flashbacks, cause as someone said somewhere above, sometimes they help build up the characters and also watch again the whole course of things. A lot of this stuff I had already forgotten anyway.. The annoying thing is replaying scenes that were just a few episodes ago.. like the one with Sakura "confessing" to Naruto.. and the hundred times already played scene of the famous Naruto-Sakura promise.. So this episode after a while became just a joke.. as someone said it was all included in last week's preview. Anyway.. the omake was probably the only thing worth it. Naruto was hella funny in it! x)) I can smell fillers again soon.. but I just hope I'm wrong, since I feel the last fillers just ended a while back, so we deserve some more canon stuff, right?.. plus I don't want the amazing OP to change just yet.. let's not stop hoping! xP |

| The omake, it cracked me up but the ending was somewhat obvious. xD Those flaps are only there to get you to buy the magazine. Overall I didn't really like the episode, it was pretty boring and Sasuke's annoyance factor rose up for me once again. :U |

KeiranShikari said: I was actually excited about todays ep but they had to drag it out. As long as the next ep isn't filler it will be one of the best eps in the whole 400+ episodes. Znote said: Lets hope next ep will be full of action and no flashbacks. Ohh wait, its Naruto x Sakura X Sasuke episode. This is bound to be 80% flashbacks. It wont be a battle about "whos epic enough" it will be a battle of "who got most treasurable memmories". Just FYI, the next episode will be flash back/filler from Naruto. Studio wanted to re-animate the Naruto Sasuke fights that happened in Part 1 in wide screen. So it will be similar to this episode except that the flash backs will focus on fighting. So if you care about animation you might enjoy it, if you are anime only and want story to progress, you may be disappoint. |
| Hooray flashbacks to remind us all why we hate Sakura and the retcon with Karin was such a pathetic plot device. |
 |
| This episode wasn't really that bad. good to see some of the old scenes re animated to the 2011 animation. Still though i prefer the old animation style. Anyways decent episode better than a filler that comes out of nowhere, like bleach |
| . |
| Damn flashbacks, its even worst than OAV... Naruto is gettin even more worst than ever. |
| well that sucked, most if it was just flashbacks. |
| Well I liked it...... |
| Dem flashbacks. |
 |
| Nice noticing this, but it wasnt said directly that he developed it in eliminations to 3rd part of exam, it was said only he made his version of this taijutsu after seeing how Li made half of it before exam. So he could think of it in 2nd part |
Aversa said: .....Sasuke and Sakura fighting in the near future. Fighting....it will be more like Sakura getting get her ass handed to her. But maybe that will finally knock some sense into her or kill her hopefully the latter =] |

Dudewitbow said: I also thought it was nice to see how karin first saw sasuke Same here. But when the flashback ended and it was the current Sasuke i was like wtf happened. Like you noticed the big difference like he's been going downhill ever since the chunin exams. Also i never knew/saw Karin was it the chunin exams. i thought they meet after Sasuke joined orochimaru. Did they just randoming stick her in the exams for that ep? What village was she from? |
| |
| I overall enjoyed this episode, sure the plot didn't move to much but its not like were getting filler stuffed down our throats like it would be with an entire arc. Also no one mentioned the awesomeness of Sasuke's face when he says " Later" after the flashback, which was so much better then the manga version of that scene. |
 |
Xenoknight said: Sakura is still weak now like she was back then. I hate her all over again. Lol It's like when she not there you forget about her and then she comes back crying about her deeps feelings for Sasuke which he never openly acknowlegde except for the simple fact that he finds her annoying. Ps. why does she show up or interfere right before he trys to kill someone. Sasuke's failed attempts 1st: Dosu Kinuta; dude from the sound 2nd: Naruto 3rd: Karin |

Kittyman said: gamerguy50 said: For me Sakura gained my respect from her epic battle with Chiyo and Deidara Sure you mean Sasori : )--- but I never liked that fight. When you think about all the people Sasori beaten or could beat, I just found it BS that Sakura and Chiyo managed to overcome the iron sand, darts and missles, being lethally poisoned, fire and water blasts, and 100 puppets. Sakura obviously had the power of plot kai on her side : ) Lol I thought she was a total bad ass in that ep tho. but she definitely could not have won by herself and I don't know what makes her think she can win by herself now. she hasn't gotten any stronger between then and now. Plus she didn't even fight during the Invasion of Pain Arc, she just did what she did best. Cry and waited to be save by someone who was, of course, Naruto. You would think with that big forehead she would have enough brains to avoid a one-on-one battle with Sasuke or at least lie better -_-' |

kaylee130 said: What village was she from?   Symbol isn't exactly the same, maybe manga author sketched this symbol long ago, not using it at all so long from first sketch he might changed it It's Kusagakure - Hidden Village of the Grass http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Geography |
| I've always hated Sakura so much... I already read the manga and know the outcome of this but still, shes so annoying. She is just in Hinata's way and I don't see whats so special about Sakura, shes just a stupid fan girl who brings trouble for Naruto. I am hoping she is put to death sooner or later. |
| Best part of this episode....the omake. Naruto trying to use Byakugan, and sai's whisper strategy. WIN |
| I hate Sakura from the first chapter of Naruto manga and its still doesn't change now. :) but this anime episode really get on my nerves! next episode you know how useless is she when it comes to Saucegay! :) |
| This episode wasn't the best..but it was okay, in fact Naruto is my fav anime and i have looked at all this episodes with the same interest so let's have more action next time! |
 |
| What a fucking waste of time ;..; flashbacks took up more than half the episode wtf??? And Sakura thinks Sasuke will fall for that? REALLY? JUST DIE ALREADY OMG! >.< At least the omake was fun ^-^ |
| Maaan seriously, first 15 minutes were SO boring, I mean CMON we know all that shit already stop with the recap flashbacking alrdy and was Sasuke really gonna kill Karin himself o_O Dang he's evolved into an even bigger a-hole |
| meh Omake was great tho.. :D |
| Just our luck. The fillers are starting to kick up again. The next thing we know, it'll be a whole arc of fillers - not surprising, though. >_< The flashbacks were pointless. And Sakura's resolve was rather the opposite of what I was expecting. But, I kinda liked it too. The moment Sakura voiced her resolve, I thought of the many things Sakura could do to be useful to Sasuke. Sakura turning her back on Hidden Leaf sounds something Sakura would stupidly do without even a second thought. >__> Again, the girls in Sasuke's life are stupid enough to be used like trash. :D |
| You know; I don't necessarily have a problem with showing a few flashback scenes, but when over half the episode is nothing but flashbacks it gets annoying. Overall meh episode, can't wait for Kakashi to arrive on the scene. |
did anyone besides me noticed Danzo's reversed footprints? that's sasuke by the way, on his way BACK another fail animation from naruto watch it again and you'll see its definitely fail |
| ye, but I forgot about it while I was annoyed by Sakura's story :p I don't like these footprint itself, it should be blurry rather then contour... |
| was anyone able to catch how many "sasuke-kun" was said in this episode? Haha first half was jampacked of flashbacks.. But i like the past history between karin.. That was kinda sweet hehe but freaky with the present "see you around" haha.. Sakura for me in this episode is like a lost child.. Sometimes i dont understand her thinking lols.. I hope there's still more action in the upcoming episodes |
   |
| Sakura-chan, I hope you aren't the stupid c*nt I think you are right now. |
 |
| Why do I still watch this... |
 |
| -That was a lot of flashback. I think a huge majority of them are unnecessary :/ -This episode was pretty slow-paced. But it wasn't too bad. |
| Shut the hell up Sakura. |
 |
| Waste of an episode... 80% flashback-ness. And flashbacks we've already seen countless times, at that. Sakura's words at the end really surprised me. I hope she's planning something. I kind of expected her to just fight with Sasuke upon arrival... then that? Hmm. |
| Oh come on, Sakura you're more reckless than Naruto, but I would say Sakura reached Sasuke 1st haha |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| I just skimmed through the flash backs, everything else was alright. I doubt Sasuke will fall for this, but good try Sakura. I still like her character! |
| Sasuke wanted to kill her. Damn asshole. He really wanted to kill Karin. I'm really angry about that! Sakura as useless as always. I don't think her words were true now but she probably wants to get near him to assassinate him. Does she really think she is strong enough to kill the guy who took down the Eight-Tails? xD |
| it does show her character progression. when she was a kid, she was going to go with him out the village out of poor infatuation. now she's just repeating herself.. and will doubtingly fail. Failing is the only thing the girl does right. You could see it right in her eyes when she felt sasuke's aura... like Karin had... poor coldness. Realisation is a funny thing |

| Another episode full of annoying flashbacks. :( |
| Well, that Sakura's last statement left me with my jaw dropped. That was completely out of blue! O.O |
