I'm almost...insulted by how good these episodes were. They fixed almost all the problems which Shippuuden has had since its outset; pacing was excellent, there were no long pauses in the middle of conversations to watch the wind blow by (apart from perhaps one, but there it was actually appropriate) and the overall air of pretentiousness in which Shippuuden has been wallowing was simply not present. Even the boring, characterless Shippuuden music was used to great effect! This was just a well-told, genuinely interesting story and I'd congratulate Pierrot for it if I could shake off this feeling that they just pawned it off to a more competent studio for this special.

The only issue I had at all was that Obito's voice was not at all how I imagined it, but that's not a big deal at all.

I agree. His voice really wasn't childish enough. It was like a 38 year old mans voice.

OMG. If all Shippuden episodes were like this, Naruto would be one of the best shows.
Too bad they aren't.

Anyhow. Have a huge question. For those who read manga mostly. Does this backstory(which was perfect) have anything to do with future episodes?

VERY good episode. 5/5! Probably The best 2 episodes of Shippuuden.
Kakashi is Greatness. Enough Said.
That entire second part of the episode got me fired up, with his eye getting cut and getting the sharingan. (Poor Obito Died) :<
But now back to the original story.., Wish we could have more. But loved it anyway. ^_^

Glad to have seen one of the anticipated parts I was waiting for and my expectations were satisfied.

Tottally epic (unlike normal naruto episodes).

By the way, I'm gonna feel sick if they just focus on Sasuke and his team like they used to do so in the past few episodes. At least they can show some Konoha members, like Kakashi and team seven. And If Lee is in! it's a huge bonus to me.


Yes, we are going to continue seeing Sasuke and his team for a while. The storyline is progressing, though. Read the manga! : )


Poor moi! Ain't there anyway to change the manga they're using to make the anime, with a modified one? We can hire Hanzo or Kakahsi himself to accomplish the sneak mission.

Not really. It's just showing Kakashi's history and bringing Minato into the picture. We will be seeing more of Minato later.

this surely is a top-10 episode. I was afraid they were gonna leave this arc out, but I'm glad they didn't. I'm also really looking forward to sasuke and itachi:s big showdown. in the manga it's friggin' AWESOME, but since they always take the fights even further when making the anime the awesome forecast just goes straight through the roofs!

I'm still holding out hope, they did an excellent job on Shikamaru's arc. So I'll be holding out hope that the awesome ******* v ****** ass whooping, the epic ******* v ****** showdown, and the ill fated ******* v **** battle are all faithfully represented.

I wish 119 and 120 were OVA episodes. I want to give Kakashi's Gaiden an 8.

I like the fact that the two episodes encapsulated what attracted me to Naruto in the first place.

This was a good episode; gloomy and true to the manga. I was amazed by how it wasn't censored down. Naruto Shippuuden is slowly getting back on track I hope that they don't mess things up with fillers. :s

I agree completely. There's some awesome stuff coming up in the storyline, and I'm really hoping that they do it justice.

This episode was sublime, this shows what people reading the manga as experiencing and why Naruto is ranked where it is! This episode was very sad, Obin dying and not being able to tell Rin he loves her touching I must say, and it few and far between for me to feel touched by anime! Lovely, hope the keep it consistent with the upcoming episodes, and the animation remains above mediocre!

This is why I love Naruto. I just met Obito and he's putting me at the brink of tears and then delivery pushes me over the edge. Amazing job doing this justice.

Hey that's right. Maybe that was Rin... they never clarified who she was exactly. Or did they? It's been a damn long time since I watched the first series.

Her name was Yugau, I'm pretty sure of it.
Rin didn't have purple hair, it was a reddish brown.

Okay. But what relationship does Yugau have to Kakashi? They seemed very close, yet we've never had an explanation as to who she is. Or have we?

No, he was the first exam proctor but he got killed. He was the one who was always coughing, he does look similar though. The one with the toothpick is Genma.

Probably because it wouldn't have been the best way to end Naruto before Shippuden. It would have been an interuption if they showed it where it should have been.
