i like this episode, the fight scene was good. like how the ten puppets were in white robes and the hundred puppets were in the red robes. the good vs evil thing was pretty awesome. also naruto has stopped screaming his head off finally. i wonder what Kakashi is up too.

Considering the episodes we were presented with for the past month or so, this episode was a godsend. It finally brought the conclusion to the Sasori and Sakura fight to a closure (should be with the next episode) and the episode was very fast paced. It seemed they finally ran out of things to talk about.

What I really enjoyed about this episode was how they FINALLY concentrated on only one battle, instead of switching back to Gai's team or Naruto chasing Deidara. This way, our attention is pretty much held with what is happening and not all over the place.

Awesome episode^^, it was a pretty intense fight I can't wait to see the next one. Oh yeah the "female ninja dairies" thing at the end was pretty funny lol but I actually wanted to see naruto's new and improved sexy-jutsu haha^_^

I never thought i would say this about this show but i'm with the concensus here. This was an awesome episode. The fight was spectacular. If only it was like this with every episode.

I can't tell if my expectations have just gotten really low (especially after last episode) or what, but I loved this episode :D

I just hope the next episodes continue to be like this.

Yeah, it was definitely better than the previous episode. ^^ It's hard to believe, but I really enjoyed it. :) Ummm, how should I put it? It had a real Naruto-feeling I guess...

Even though i have a severe dislike for Sakura i have to agree that she did kick some serious wooden ass in this episode.

The fight scenes between the puppets was well animated and as vindemon64 said, A god send compared to the previous episodes.

Well, yeah, compared to other episodes from the Naruto anime, its not the best. But if you consider the episodes of simply Shippuuden, it makes you realize how much better this episode was compared to all of them.

After the past few episodes, 26 restored my faith in the Naruto series and I thought that Sakura was so cool during the fight scene! It's really good to see that she became a really good fighter. Also, I'm so happy that they decided to focus on one thing during the episode. I thought it was really good!

But I'm really looking forward to episode 27 AND seeing what kakashi and naruto is going to do with diedara and see some more of naruto skills.

This episode was easily the best of Shippuden - unlike most of the others, it used 41 manga pages worth of film.

Finally some real action that you can watch and like without having to think about it. Most of the time you have to know what's going on to understand the fight. Now it's good that they just kick some old fashioned ass. :)

Now this is what i want to see from Shippuuden

THIS EP ROCKED HARD!!!

IMO this is easily the best episode of the entire shippuuden series so far. I was actually excited for 99% of the episode and for once, when the ep ended i wasn't thinking "it's finally over" I was more like "WTF!!! MORE!!!!"

hehe, for all the guys who like to flame people who complain about how crappy shippuuden has been (I'm one of the complainers) This is why we cant drop shippuuden no matter how bad we think it's gotten, just the hope of stumbling upon rare gems like this episode and the even bigger hope of having episodes which are even somewhat consistently of this quality.

Totally Agree ^ Best Shippuuden Ep yet, but not Naruto

I've seen this scene this already in the manga, but again, this fight is making me see Sakura in a new light, she is pwning hardcore, but wasn't she good at controlling Chakra and using it efficiently before. I haven't seen her use much ninjutsu (except to recover, maybe that uses up all of it). It seems shes just taijutsu atm, just though slower than Rock Lee, and strength-wise...im not so sure.

Either way, hope Shippuuden continues this, maybe some cool animation for Naruto's fight.

Well I can only agree, this was the best Episode of Shippuuden yet...I even rewatched parts of the battle afterwards and finally..finally there's some stunning action again :D
I hate how they usually discuss everything over and over instead of just getting started with the fight.

One of the first episodes of Shippuden that I didn't look at how long was left during it. Great episode kept me exicted all the way to the end and they only switched to Naruto and Kakashi once! Can't wait for the next episode.

Yes. It was a good episode. I watched it a few more times over the weeked 'cause i was bored shitless and it didn't get extremely worse.

although im sick of the whole hair wavy thing when one of the characters say something.

Sakura - By now you should know... My Personality.

Old Lady - (hair waves)

im jsut thinking. NO. THATS NOT COOL THATS JUST STUPID.

Other then that and a crappy ending it was a good episode.

Finally~
This was a really good episode mostly because it included a fairly well animated fight and not so much talking. Good to see Sakura fighting at last and not needing anyone to save her. In fact she did the opposite saving Chiyo~
Really good episode :)

This was easily one of the best episodes of the new season, mostly cause it focused only in one battle, which was really intense.
The few previous episodes looked like fillers compared to this one, not only story-wise, but also art-wise as well. Hope we'll get more than these, but i'm not raising my hopes up too high..

Yep, Naruto's eyes are blue again.

When Chiyo said "Don't fight Sakura, you don't have any antidote left", I was like - huh? I thought she had two more seconds?

Yeah, that was pretty sweet. It's to bad the first episode all but ruined this cliff hanger and not to mention that I can't imagine anyone would actually believe Sakura, one of the main characters, would actually be killed off.

I love this ep! pure sakura greatness! what naruto the anime lacked.

Sakura has truly progressed a great amount!
That's why she is my favorite.

She is my hero!

I know she won't die. But I hope she doesn't suffer after that stab and poison and used up chakra.
I hope you get well sakura, and soon!

The Sasori fight was really damn enjoyable to watch. The best in Shippuuden up to this point, and one of the top from the series as a whole.

Easily the best fight so far in Shippuden, and also I don't think you can just will yourself out of the effects of a very powerful poison like that, but whatevs

Come on Sakura, you're supposed to be the smart one. Don't let him re-assemble.

Follow-up fight was pretty good though and I did not see that ending coming, thought the old woman was going to die for sure.
