----------------------------------------
This anime is full of tragic characters that could have been so different if they had been loved instead of feared and rejected. It was nice to see Haku and Zabuza that was a nice little surprise. Can't wait to see what will happen next.

I was really surprised to see Zabuza and Haku again, at first I was like, "WTH?! HAKU IS WEARING A SKIRT?!" It sure looked like it...... Haku looked even more like a girl when he was a child....

Good backstory, though I was kind of caught off guard with Kiminimaro being developed when the other 5 Sounds were ignored.

Kaguya Clan, huh. What a bunch of fools, indeed.
Heh, so, Kimimaro met Zabuza and Haku back then. That was nice.
Oh boy, there goes Orochimaru again. Gathering little boys ahahaha.

Hah... the teeth showing through the side of KimiNoNaWa's face make him look like a Titan.

Gaara is so frigging strong, and he looks cooler when he doesn't have his constant migraines too! <3

Then...FEELS. WHYYYY!!?!?! I GET IT ZABUZA AND HAKU ARE DEAD STOP THROWING IT IN MY FACE.

...And it ends with some kinda dinosaur werewolf? XD

A great episode with a mix of emotions and action that fit perfectly together!

It's so nice to finally see Gaara fight for the good side and with the same killing instinct and I love how Lee did not stop him by saying shits like: "Don't kill him" or something like that.I hate when characters do that.I mean yes it wasn't enough to kill this monster but still.
Anyway,I wonder what happened to Naruto in that cave? Why did he go under if he saw Sasuke go over it.I mean if he realised the one who went over the cave was a clone,then why did it get so dark in the cave and what are these illusions AND WHY DOES SASUKE KEEP LAUGHING like a retard???
And I got to see Zabuza :'(.RIP one of the best villains!And Haku.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

was really nice to see zabuza in that flashback! :D

too bad for kimomaru to end up as orochimaru's tool than find his own destiny, like naruto perhaps?

I guess the bone guy's backstory was pretty sad.

It was cool to see Haku and Zabuza.

I don't understand how Kimimaro can resist Gaara's lethal attacks and his past is simply too similar to Haku's.

I thought it was pretty exciting seeing Tara go all out and do a greater frequ to a greater degree than he did in the fight that he had in the tune in exam arc he really um that's some crazy moves that changed allrain which is honestly something I wouldn't have expected that he's literally just again in he's not even a chune in yet, which basically just shows how sophisticated the whole system is of choosing becomes a Kenan, even if he has so much power, he is still at a lower rank because he doesn't have the maturity yet, or at least that mental states should be a great leader, which, there's a lot to commend for your command in Lea Village for we're having that mindset. I think that the cool part of this episode was the flashback of Kakura or Kakuya. I think he is very very citizenized with. I mean, essentially, he has just been manipulated. His all life started when he was like, very young. It was just in a prison for a long time. I mean, you can't even blame the guy. So, yeah, he definitely doesn't have any, like, anything to really pin him, pin the blame on him for so yeah, it's kind of hard to hate him and thinking you should lose or die anything. I guess it's the problem just comes from Orojimaru, like, if Gagyo was running around and, when he he was the last one to survive from his clan, when he was running around, and he ran into someone or other than around tomorrow. Then the situation could change entirely and it could have become what we o't consider a good guy. And but that's just not the fate. It would be cool to see him become the compatriot of sabi, but that was meant to be Isa Naruto running around was it's kind of just the same thing as last episode. It's kind of weird that he saw Negie. Is I wonder if that's, like, the ghost version of Neji or something that is actually just dead, but I don't really know. Maybe it's just a mental mind thing that's not supposed to mean anything that literal, like a metaphor.aphorji occupying a place inardos, heart and mind and giving him guidance because he respects Neji. I think that the fight between Kar and Kagya is like, shaving up to me, you know, a drawn out fight. I mean, the game of fight is over pretty much, and the only other fight is the Ka fight, so that's the one I'm going to see. I think that. Aruto, it's Azuke are gonna have to fight, because Suke's not gonna want to leave. Naruto's gonna have to take him back by force. Oh, man. Now that Sasuke got this upgrade with that whole second stage progression thing, I don't think Nuto's gonna be able to take him down, honestly. But that's to be determined anyways, is a good episode.
