----------------------------------------
Naruto is working on the Tailed Beast Bomb and learned about the risks of using the Kyuubi's chakra.

Kabuto told Madara how the Edo Tensei works and that it has no actual risks, one more reason for Madara to not trust him and that's why he lets White Zetsu tail him while Black Zetsu is making some preparations for him, not sure what those are.

Next episode the real war starts and Zabuza and Haku come back, I liked their story a lot and I'm looking forward to meeting them again.

I thought it was okay. The whole 'learn Naruto this new jutsu' thing I couldn't care less about, so the half of the episode was not interesting to watch at all. I liked the second half, Kabuto explaining about his 'powers', but nothing really happened until the very last seconds..

So Zabusa and Haku will be back next episode. It's been quite a while. Also that tailed beast bomb...hope it will be cool. Kabuto and Madara getting tense, Zetsu sent to spy on Kabuto. I also enjoyed all that explanation about reanimation. Great episode, looking forward to next.

Next episode the allied shinobi forces will finally clash. I think the following episodes are going to be so full of action.

But then again i don't know why everyone is so against back story telling, its part of wrapping up loose plot threads in the story and developing the characters more.

The tailed beast form has a really bad effect. The 9 tails doesn't like naruto at all so negotating with it is pretty much asking for death. I know Naruto will master the tailed beast bomb but I wonder how long it take him to do it though.

And Im curious as to what other jutsu Kabuto spoke of after he left Madara.

Seems like Killer Bee met the Fourth Hokage at some point in his life and that meeting must have involved some fighting as he seemed to know the strength of Rasengan.
Kobuto's agenda seems to go a long way back i wonder how long he has been planning all his ideas before he joined Madara in his campaign.

I agree with the people.
Hope the fight is much more extended than the flashback.

Though I think at the end part, they should have said "ENGAGE!" It would have been better.

I wonder when the producers will ever notice their flawed pacing in this series, I mean it has been a good # of years already. =/
I mean hell, I love watching Naruto for some of the great moments they have once in a while, but it's hard to commit to this sometimes.

I just doesn't like flashbacks(which was shown before) that take up more than 1/4 of the episode. It would be more effective if it's just quick flashing of scenes and some important speech to refresh our memory if necessary.

Anyway this episode is fine, maybe 4/5. Since it's much related to the main story line, though little.

Kabuto still has a trick up his sleeve since he told Tobi Edo Tensei's weakness. Prepare yourselves for a flashback episode. Looks like the actual fight is not gonna start until ep 266.

love its good 2 know about edo tensi i think that kaboto didnt tell madara about the real weekness that edo tensi have and good 2 know the risks of using kiobe chakra the last 5 min is the best indeed
one bad thing that we will not see naruto in full pigo mode like bee cuz he can use tailed beast bomb without transforming into pigo only by using kiobe chakra

These episodes all seem too short. Comes down to about 20 minutes without the opening and ending credits. It seems like there's still a lot to establish before the war really gets going, but it's going at a slow pace.

LOL at then ending of the Zetsu eruption. Looked like you-know-what >_<

Well, throughout the whole arc he dressed as a girl, he's supposed to look very androgynous. That's why Naruto was shocked to find out that Haku was a guy since he found him so beautiful (same scene as the lipstick one).

I guess it makes it more about the relationship between Zabuza and Haku rather than any romance.

I have two irritations with this site:

Why does this site not allow a rating system that allows for 0.5 point subdivisions?

Sometimes I'd like to give a series an 8.5 because it is better than an 8 but it doesn't deserve a 9.

Also, when I vote, I am forced into a one thru five, and a 4.5 may be the most accurate answer.

I love precision is the point. You will get more meaningful data with a 0.5 subdivided scale in both instances. Aniidb displays data to 0.01 subdivisions. I think that that is overkill, but that the 0.5 subdivided scale makes sense!!!

Anyone agree? Disagree? Indifferent? I'm curious!

Great episode, I LOVED CHIBI KITSUNE-NARUTO AT THE BEGINING :D
Next episode is about Haku& Zabuza - totally in love with this arc <3 But why they made Haku with lipstic, nooo T_T He WAS girlish, but no a transvestite... He looked girly enough without it, yet he was kind of bishounen, totally loved it. Hope it won't stands out too much :<

Eruption of all the zetsu was crazy... To be honest though you would think it'd be easy to counter, once you fight one I'm sure it's the same with the next one, the only thing maybe is they'll get tired and slow down then get overrun.. Unless they have different moves ?

Sigh at this being delayed broadcast for next episode

Well I don't really have this problem. For example if someone who had never watched Naruto before asked you "is it good?" and your first answer/thoughts is "very good" than just rate it "8/10". If it's "fine", just rate it as "6/10". Well at least that's how I rate anime to avoid this difficulty(since I do have it before).

As for your second point, I'm not very sure about it. Probably 10 options would be too large for a poll, and there's not much people voting anyway. I usually don't vote on episode poll since I don't think people would look at the thread which would be full of spoilers, then watch the episode. But oh well, whichever suits you the best.

PS: I don't think suggesting the decimal rating would be worked as it had been turned down many times as mentioned in the FAQ.

An army of White Zetsu's like Canon Fodders

The explanation of the Reanimation Jutsu was interesting

I think it also gave a hint who Tobi really is, although Kabuto doesn't know himself

It wasn't the best and not the worst; just all talk. Naruto furthers his training, Anko's life still hangs in the balance, and Kabuto and Madara try to work each other during battle meeting negotiations. Again not that great just informative. I'm interested to see Zabuza and Haku again.

I don't mind flashbacks but it seems there doing it WAYY to much, I mean if I want to remember stuff I will re watch shippuden so a little flashback of the serious need to know parts here and there would be lovely but not most of the episode, it's like they don't want to draw new stuff x_x; so they add it in

Tons of new intel about Naruto's Bijuu chakra Mode. He is able to do the Bijuu Dama himself ahahah that was so awesome. "Bijuu Rasengan" XD

I also liked the Edo Tensei explanation; that makes things a bit clearer, but not much was added to what we already know, though... (only how to stop the Edo Tensei).
But, well, as always, Kabuto has something up his sleeve... and Dark Zetsu is ordered to do "something" by Madara; hum, that oughta be interesting *.*
Loved those last 2 minutes. They just defeated 20000 zetsus in a heartbeat (I guess they were defeated right?). Now that is some super fast organization. That was awesome *.*

Of course Naruto can't go into Tail beast mode. So what do you do? Make him learn the exclusive technique another way.
Dudes died while under the effect of the Sharingan. Didn't even know it. lol
Where did you put my waifu, Kabuto?
When you die and you see your dead body in front of you. lol
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).
