Sakura is annoying. Kakashi is cool. Orochimaru is a pedo. By the way, if the Hokage is supposed to be the strongest ninja in the village, how in the F*** did he get captured so easily?

This.

I wish Sakura would've done something other than just sit there. Other than that, I liked it.

The Wheel's of Fate Begin to Turn.

And what do you expect sakura to do in this situation. Go out there and battle sound ninja chunin elites and AMBU squad members all by her self. Honestly its much more believable that she stays hiding, with all the crazy chaotic wars going on. If she wants to stay alive. You have to remember this is a battle that the rookies have no chance in hell of winning. They have there own mission though set out for them just like an A class mission in it self.

Stupid people are stupid, what else can I say?

And, Orochimaru is probably the best villain I've ever seen in a shounen....Believe It!

Lmao I've heard several people say that about Sakura. She may appear to be useless but she's smart and clearly Kakashi has validated that. She's an asset..she may not have the same strength and skills as Naruto and/or Sasuke but her character has changed a lot since the beginning of the series, lmao.

Let's see what happens to her during this "A" level mission.

Orochimaru is awesome. I'm seriously loving his plotting skills and the dark piano-styled theme they did for him in this episode. It's so fitting for his personality. The fact that that tough general guy -- the one who was test proctor from the beginning of the exams -- even he is terrified of Orochimaru and that is saying something..

Man I forgot the Sound Ninja Four were introduced this early, Some of my favorite villains in the entire first Naruto show!

Well, it's getting a bit dark in here.

I'd have preferred the fight between Gaara and Sasuke to continue like it was meant to, though. Not so fond of interruptions.

So, what I learned from this episode basically is that Orochimaru is a little crybaby who's upset that he isn't Hokage?

it's fascinating how good this show becomes the moment the 3 main characters are off-screen
Orochimaru is pretty cool ngl
