Great ep, loved seeing Tsunade kick some Kabuto ass, even if he himself was quite strong.

Hell, I think Kabuto did a superb job of fighting her off myself. I mean, its obvious Tsunade was more skilled but he used his brain to fight and was awesome. Excellent fight scenes in this episode. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

For me it's the other way around; I really hate Tsunade, like she is such a boring Sannin. Not only her strength makes no sense practically; yeah she can heal herself very quick, but in an actual war... how the hell does it work that she is sent into shock because of blood. It's essentially "OH HEY I CAN HEAL YOU; but only if you're not bleeding"

She is also very slow; Kabuto isn't near as "skilled" as she is supposed to be and landed 3 hits that pretty much debilitated her and did very well dodging her attacks until he got cocky. I don't get why everyone praises her combat ability; it's average hidden behind monstrous chakra control and strength and going invincible.

True, Tsunade is overrated. I mean, I was expecting something better. She was really praised by Jiraiya and then has problems fighting Kabuto.

Basically, I was really looking forward to her fighting Orochimaru and I got... nothing special.

Didn't her problem with blood appear only after her beloved had died? In that case, I find it somehow understandable, though it's still a bit "forced", or rather too extreme.

She did admit at one point that he was better than her when she was in her prime. So, she got a little old. *shrugs*

I felt like the animations were not that great.

Good to see some fighting but a bit disappointed in the "ledgendary" Tsunade

As the episodes go by the fights are getting more complex!
I was never this kind of person who love epic fights that lasts 5 episodes but with Naruto I get so excited to see what happens next I don't even notice how many episodes I already watched.

Tsunade is trash! One of the most disappointing, overrated and lame characters of the entire series! "Legendary"...smh she can't even handle Kabuto. How is a ninja and doctor afraid of blood?! And they want HER to be Hokage?! cmon, Kishimoto...

Orochimaru made Kakashi piss his pants and beat the 3rd Hokage. Juraiya easily fended off two Akatsuki members, one of whom (Itachi) Orochimaru admitted was stronger than himself. Tsunade is nowhere near their level. She's an embarrassment.

people here need to remember tsunade retired her responsibilities and fighting, not to talk about she's still in trauma from her love killed in the middle of the battle from losing blood, and the fact she got old, i think that it's the opposite - she's more surprising than i thought she would be.

this battle going to be interesting.

Woah Tsunade is pretty badass. It's quite impressive that Kabuto managed to stand toes to toes with her. Overall loved the episode. Was so action packed.

I'm kind of upset with this battle, they portrayed Tsunade as this very strong and powerful Sannin and now they are just letting her get beat by some teenager? I get the battle not being easy, but I just don't think after all the buildup we've had about the Legendary Sannin that she would be so easily beaten by Kabuto.

I agree, I was absolutely loving Tsunade's build up and was really excited to finally see a powerful female character in this show for once, but Kishimoto has let us down with this, there's no way she'd be beaten so easily. I'm not saying the fight should've been an easy win but I don't think after all the talk about her being legendary that she would lose so easily.

i don't like how Kabuto can handle a 1 v 1 against Lady Tsunade one of the Legendary Sanin, that is so disrespectful. and i know Kabuto took plasma pills and he's a medical ninja too but like the writers do everything they can to make female characters weak. on top of that the fear of blood like c'mon now it's too much. this is simply BS
