naruto just ate ramen!XD i know what you mean, in the next chapter i'll bet that they convince tsunade to go and help gaara and that kankuro get his butt kicked. But i endured a hundred fillers, so i'll watch the next one as well! poor gaara!

This is just getting mendokuze to watch.........The only highlights: another hint for a shikamaru x temari relation and finally an end to that boring battle with gaara.

Sorry gaara fans, but that battle was just shit flushed through the toilet........>.>
I hope they'll do a better job in the next ep with kankorou's battle.......

I agree~
I either want to see Naruto devouring ramen, or Gaara fighting Deidara~~

An hour of nothing. I now know what that feels like. This is one of the most slowest animes I have ever seen.

Jeez, this is going really slow and downhill for me. I think I should read the manga...

I'll give this show 5 more episodes to redeem itself.

I thought he first half of this episode was great the Gaara fight was awesome and the way it kept switching back to Naruto stopped it being boring in my opinion.

It's like Gaara was the only one capable ninja in the entire damn village. All the other ninjas just watched and threw some arrows. So useful.

Yeah, poor Gaara :/ It can't be helped, though.
Temari and Shikamaru should date already!!
I won't be giving a shit if I am still a Genin. Naruto, you were trained by Jiraiya. That's awesome, man.
Combined episodes again.

Gaara seemed so weak during the fight, and Kankuro did absolutely nothing to help, what happened to that badass sand team we saw on the other series?

I guess both Shippuuden and the original know how to disappoint with an incredibly slow start to an incredibly slow arc. I wasn't the biggest fan of the upcoming mission when reading the manga, but it's my last hope before I decide whether or not I drop a series for the first time.

Ahhh crap Gaara lost! But that Akatsuki guy lost his left arm for the victory, so it just goes to show..

The pace is very slow tbh. But finally the battle is over. Will Gaara really get abducted? One member of the Akatsuki is equivalent to a Kage?!?

These last 5 episodes should've been 1-2 episodes at most. It's the start of the series and they're already dragging things out as much as possible. Can you imagine a single cour 12 episode anime series with this kind of pacing? It would be ridiculous, but for some reason people give long running shonen a pass when they take hundreds of episodes to tell ~30 episodes worth of actual content.

This episode was much better in terms of fight and emotions both. Deidara really looks strong he defeated Gaara The kazekage, i didn't like seeing gaara falling so powerlessly it really hit it man.
