----------------------------------------
Finally the battle drew to a close and yet still more tree jumping from Naruto/Kakashi and more of the same flash backs which we've seen before enough times and already know/don't care about.

Yet it's always nice to see Sakura being hurt in anyway possible even if it's just a katana through her.

It was great episode with great music. So Sasori left open to him ;) Finally After few episodes Kakashi opened this new sharingan eye ^^ Now how do you think: 7 eps with Kakashi vs Deidara fight :>?

Definitely agree that Naruto episodes are way too slow and every character had childhood problems. If they only had psychiatrists...

Geez.. Finally one of the fights is done. Chasing birdie through 5 episodes must be really boring, even for new-eyed Kakashi.. I wonder if they get Gaara's body back this year.. Only 16 weeks to go :|

As expected, they spent the entire episode closing up the battle. Hopefully they'll speed things up with Naruto's part.

Yeah, also hated the pointless flashbacks that we've seen 10x over already.

I guess it was ok, nothing special really, and they could have done a little better with the reviling of kakashi's ms

Well the revealing of kakashis sharigan was good enough since it gave a nice cliff hanger for those who didn't see it coming. Watching Sakuras fight with glimpses of Kakashi is better than watching the epic tree jumping for 20 mins while Kakashi prepares it

I can't believe even on Shipuuden there's still people who hate Sakura. =p On my book. she's cool now.

I was getting annoyed with the whole Naruto, Kakashi vs Deidara. Why did they have to show all that friggin' tree jumping instead of starting after Sasori's fight was over? I agree with Omega, though. That was a nice cliff hanger. I want to know what Kakashi will be able to do with his Mangekyou Sharingan. =o

Well the battle finally ended and it was sad that Sasori died...
Although it was odd how he left himself open for attack and how he gave information to them...

Yeah where are all those trees coming from anyhow? Temari hasn't been there, so she can't have felled them... so who decided to throw hundreds of trees in some ravine?

Anyway I'm glad Sasori didn't make it in the end, but I'm really looking forward to seeing Deidara get beat up :) I wonder if these things are all supposed to happen simultaneously? Then maybe Sakura can also come help.

Can't understand all the Sakura hate....if anything she's been the highlight of the show so far.

EPIC SASORI!
The only living part of his body, the one thing making up his whole being, stabbed by two swords and by the looks of it at least scratched by some other things too and he just won't die. Instead, he does some idle chatting and discusses life philosophy for nearly a whole episode. :D

When Sakura and Naruto fought Kakashi and when they started fighting Sasori I wanted to believe my sisters' words that she had gotten waaaaay better than in Naruto. Well, she actually got a lot stronger. She can even fight now. Sadly she seems to have sacrificed great parts of her brain in order to gain fighting power. How has she gotten so incredibly stupid? Did she do so bad in Tsunades dodging training and got her head hit repeatedly?
She was always bad at fighting but as long as it didn't concern Sasuke, she was at least intelligent. Now she has sunk on the same level as Naruto. I don't want to see her now when Sasuke appears. Naruto might actually be better than her then.

Great, now I just wanna know why Sasori wanted to die... xD

Or how the hell did Kakashi get his mangekyou sharingan if you have to kill someone you care about to awaken it o.O Obviously he's found another way... Whatever he's done, maybe they use it to lure Sasuke back?

Sasori T^T It seems like he has grown tired of living after all these years. Eternal beauty, huh. Maybe, he just wanted to be with his parents, too. Good thing that he spit out some info about Orochimaru.
Chibi Sasori was cute and adorable; especially with that voice~
Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan should have been revealed in a more awesome way =3=

It would do us a favor if they'd show us how Sasori managed to kill the 3rd Kazekage; But no! We'll only get to see the repetitive flashbacks instead!

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Sasori is my favorite Akatsuki member. He had so much potential; i wish I could have seen more of his puppets and see him fight someone who didn't know him so well. There was so much plot armor and convenience for Sakura that I feel like his abilities (especially at this point in the story) aren't recognized as they should. If granny wasn't there, he would have been a PROBLEM for all of them.
