Yeah, I like the training bits cause it feels like the start of the manga once again. Naruto is so loveable in his slowness.

But the filler arc is starting and who knows how long that will take? It better not be another year. I can't stand the fillers. Even if it does mean extra Sai appearances.

Actually not a bad episode, save for the part at the beginning, if the filler arc isn't too bad I may actually catch up.

Eh, it was an okay episode.
A lot of explaining on Kakashi's part but I guess that makes sense since Naruto's going to learn a new technique. Hopefully we won't have to see his entire training thing cause that might take a long time~ Fillers will be starting a couple of episodes - hoping they're decent.

Love the new opening - best one yet :)



Amazing sig set thanks to -DraGonZ-

this episode started off great, especially with sakura waking up naruto, and naruto's only response while coming from half sleep is "ugly whore", i don't care who you are, thats hysterical!!!! rofl, plus naruto begins his new training regiment using kage bunshin to gain a new ultimate jutsu

Pretty good episode. I wonder how this arc will be handled.

Well I know it's just training, but I feel like the result is going to be really epic. . well I guess it must be, if it's going to match up to Sasuke.

Nice!! Animation is now better :D
Did you see that?? Yamato just created a freaking waterfall, man :O Yamato is super handy!!
If I was a ninja, I would master all the elements and combine them.......Wait, that makes me an avatar. No, that makes me a Ninja Avatar :O Holy shit!! That's awesome!!
Man, I wish I can do Shadow Clones, too. I would send one of my clones everyday to school. Been thinking about this for quite some time already.
Well, Naruto's training area looks really refreshing~ Start of filler arc next episode.

damn Naruto is stupid, none of that was hard to understand but he needed a lot more explanation.

i did like that we got to learn more about how some of the ninja abilities work, even if the explanation was dragged out

God,I love the finale.After Naruto rememberd how he injured Sakura.I loved this episode overall,it's just that i hated how it was forced to be fun(I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say with this).So after everything got serious,I was hyped.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

I can't believe it took so long just to explain a simple thing. That was a bit frustrating imo. Naruto sure is an idiot!

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

The explanation about the nature of chakra added something to the show that I wasn't expecting at all. But I'm really glad they introduced it. I don't know why I think wind nature really fits Naruto. I hope they explore it more, because I have no idea what is it about.

So after going to a school for Shinobi and then training for three YEARS with one of the most powerful and experienced Shinobi on the planet, Naruto does not know about Chakra natures, evidently a rudimentary building block of Shinobi abilities. It's absurd that this hasn't been mentioned up to this point; and for Naruto to not even know his nature after training with Jiraiya for three YEARS! That is ridiculous.

As I've said before, during the time skip he should have learned dozens of new Jutsu (from weak to strong).

Despite my complaints, though, I really do love this idea of training. I love how only Naruto can pull this off because not everyone knows how to do shadow clones and then, amongst the few that can do it, an enormous amount of power is required to make it worthwhile.

Finally Chakra natures are explained.

This episode is a bit slow but I still like it, it's like I'm studying at a Ninja academy taught by Kakashi, and I'm just as dumb as Naruto kkk

So why didn't Jiraiya explain to Naruto about nature in those 2 years, yes, he became "stronger" and with better intuition to summarize everything, but he hasn't really been able to do almost anything (that doesn't involve the Kyuubi). It seems like they didn't do anything in those 2 years, as the episodes go by it becomes more evident.

Maybe I'm skipping some things but thinking quickly is what I think. Or maybe the progress that Kakashi is making with Naruto in just 1 episode overshadows those 2 years.

I loved this episode. Naruto insulting sakura in the beginning, kakashi sensei teaching smtg new about jutsu and techniques, yamato taichou showing off some cool techniques, and the bgm when naruto gets in business with the training. All of that was awesome also Kakashi saying the last dialogue

Cmon guys, now I think this series might just deliver it.

It's amazing how Naruto hasn't been taught about chakra natures by now, it should be a basic lesson at the academy. It's also weird that Naruto never realized about the shadow clone thing. Another complaint about the chapter is that Naruto feels a little dumb, but I guess that's part of his character, he just feels like he's too
