Haku isn't his brother, you see sasuke's brother in his flashback just before he passes out, his brother is alot older then haku, and you can see the head-protector he's wearing is different. Epic epic background music for Naruto's transformation though ^^,

He hates him but he's willing to die for him - lol now that's a legend, Sasuke ftw!!!

Yeah Sasuke's brother is Uchiha Itachi, def not Haku.
Yeah there is def a sense of brotherhood between Naruto and Sasuke, even though they don't show it..Think it's most likely due to the fact that they both grew up on their own and under harsh conditions.
And they kissed one another hahaha xD

This episode was very good... The scene when Sasuke "died" was very well done and the BGM for that scene is perfect.

The BGM for this series is really good IMO.

I mean anyone who has even a passing knowledge of anime knows Sasuke can't possibly die her but still very interesting episode. Naruto's transformation kind of reminds of how the Saiyan's in Dragon Ball would turn into giant monkey's...only foxes are much, much cooler.

Naruto's transformation was really good, also it was exciting to see Sasuke's sharingan. I forgot how early we see these kind of things.

Episode 16 : The Broken Seal

In this episode Sasuke finally uncovered his Kekegeki (the Sharingan). The Only reason Sasuke could discover this was cause of the Lose of his whole Clan and when he Protected Naruto as they are on the Same Squad (Squad 7) this was the turning point for Naruto to Unconsciously summon the power of the Nine Tailed Fox and Kills Haku.

Until The Shippuden Version of the Show I had to idea what Naruto really was Except for he is the holder of one of the 9 tailed beast. The Term is Jinchuriki.

Jinchuriki's are able to Surpass anyone in the Great Nations. He will be a Great Hokage one day

Sasuke's Sharingan and "death" was too BRO for words. Naruto seems to have unleashed the epic beast within him, really liking this new development and really looking forward to see a beat-down on Haku.

Oh yeah, Kakashi needs to pull out his Chidori already on Zabuza! (Yeah, I'm finally watching this series after about 10 years of airing)

Sasuke's dead?? O_O

That was fast, thought he'd be around for longer. The nine-tailed fox transformation is awesome, maybe he used some kind of new jutsu? Going to watch the next one immediately.

Omfg, I love the Uchiha !! Sasuke awakened his sharingan... amazing.

Sakura, STFU, PLEASE.

I loved how Sasuke protected Naruto.. and then even jumped into the trap for him.. That's the moment I waited for ♥ they love each other so much. When Sasuke remembered all their times... awwwww... ♥

The first person Naruto went crazy for in his Kyuubi form is Sasuke.

This episode was so exciting! First Sasuke with his sharingan eyes and such (that was so amazing), then that emotional scene between Sasuke and Naruto.... and then Naruto with his fox powers! Ohmygodness, how can it be so awesome. And the background music... just perfect. I love it!
I didn't see anything coming this episode. Well yeah, Sasuke is going to live, that's quite foreseeable, but everything that happened here... just wow.

Actually it doesn't bother me that the fights are taking several episodes. I really like it all, so for me the episodes seem short even. I guess I just like it so much that it doesn't bother me. I like to learn more about the characters and the world they live in overall. So I'm fine with it. It doesn't seem to go slowly at all.

Agreed! After forming a sense of camaraderie through being on a team together and especially that training climbing the trees, it makes sense why even though they "hate" each other, they also really care about each other. If you have someone you want to protect, you are able to surpass your current limits.

But Sasukeeee ;_; just when he awakened the sharingan too. That was a really cool throw he did to Haku when saving Naruto btw. And now Naruto is pissed, everyone can feel the sinister chakra.

Forgot to mention Kakashi, that's one giant wound he took from Zabuza.

God I forgot how useless Sakura is.

Even after finishing both naruto and naruto Shippuden, this episode is one of my dearests. The feels of brotherhood between Sasuke and Naruto probably were perfectly portrayed. Still "hating" each other, but are willing to die for each other.

I wonder if Sasuke's Sharingan is more powerful than Kakashi's, since both of his eyes have it.

Also, Naruto beast mode activated ftw.

Wtf,I had tears in my eyes throughout Sasuke's death scene.The scene was so well-build and I sympathized with Sasuke so much when he said he didn't want to die before killing his brother.AAAAAA just thinking at what he said makes me go there and revive him on the spot :(.


///SPOILERS DOWN BELOW BUT NOT SO OBVIOUS///
Well,I know something about the story that doesn't make me depressed,but still his death is harsh.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
