This flashback was actually pretty fun to watch. I kind of more curious about Naruto's parents, more so learn about his mother. I wonder when everyone will find out who Naruto's parents were. Won't that be a big shocker to everyone.

hehe it was by the book basically. I wonder what became of his mother. i don't really remember reading about it.

it looks like jiraya is going to invade Pain's hideout. should be interesting.

I loved seeing the Toad World animated, very pretty!! And it was nice seeing Naruto's parents. I love it when Minato shows up. <3

Yeah, Kishimoto never specified what exactly happened to her. I personally think it's probably pretty likely that she died fighting the Kyuubi alongside Minato.

Damn, now I want flashback of what actually happened to those kids... Since it's obvious now who they are, and since it's obvious now flashbacks are better directed than usual episodes.

No, I actually want them to skip 20 years in future, with Naruto as Hokage, and tell everything in flashbacks...

as someone who doesn't touch the manga of course it's hard to not have already been spoiled about certain foreshadowed fights (comming pretty soon it seems) but I had no idea that Jiraya trained Pein, that blue haired chick and idk who that 3rd kid was supposed to be, was it something I missed or have they just not touched on it yet?

anyway this was the 1st shippuuden ep in a while that I was genuinely surprised about something

There is no way she was fighting the Kyuubi alongside Minato because she was pregnant, most likely she died by giving birth to Naruto.

You are so damn correct! These flashbacks are much better than the original episodes, they show a lot of information, while a new episode shows tiny information, like 1/4 part of a battle and some unfinished discussion in the village.

I always find it funny that Orochimaru always looks so super evil even when he was young and on Konoha's side...at least they could've made it so his experiments on himself changed him to look like he does now and made him look normal beforehand O_o

I've got to say the anime did a great job putting all those flash backs into these 2 episodes.

Also, It was finally great for everyone (people that don't read the manga) to find out that YES, Naruto's dad is the 4th Hokage.

I'm not sure about that but I figured it out when Jiraiya and naruto go to search for tsunade in the original series. I thought it was obvious

Edit: I lol at the retard who gave this ep a 1/5
"...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth')

Well, as far as i know they only showed that the 4th hokage sealed the Nine Tails in to a baby boy. They never said that the child was his son.

Just to clarify whatever misconceptions people seem to be coming up with:

1. It was never mentioned that the 4th was Naruto's father until this recent arc... and yes, this was exactly how it was revealed in the manga as well.
2. The three kids are Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato. I'm pretty sure everybody knows that they're related to Akatsuki now in some way.
3. It was never mentioned what happened to Naruto's mother.
4. Nagato's hair has ALWAYS been red even in the manga. It was red in the colored pages.

I always wondered who Naruto's father was., and well the 4th seems a reasonable choice but not 100% sure.
But anyway., That episode was awesome..It was so cool when all 3 of them did their summoning and destroyed all those people so quickly.
Pain is still a Beast. (A Cool One..) <.< But an evil one.
But i loved it, Can't wait for next week.

I really liked this special. As someone said earlier, the studio handles flashbacks very well. This was something that was really important to anime only watchers because it is so informative. From knowing the past of
akatsuki members, to finding out and confirming that Minato/4th Hokage is Naruto's father. The first half was meh, but okay enough, since it explains Jiraiya's own past. The second half was nothing short of amazing. Now we can finally get ready to see a battle I've been waiting to see animated for the longest.
