I'll agree that the actual battle in this episode isn't quite as interesting as the episode before it...but it was nice to get a glimpse at Orochimaru's thought process and his past with the 3rd Hokage..

A lot of stalling for nothing much to happen. Not the greatest episode, but it kept me entertained for the time being. Looking forward to the next!

Yeah, this episode is really good when it comes to explaining some things. So, the Second was the Third's sensei; the Third was Orochimaru and Jiraiya's sensei; Jiraiya was the Forth's sensei; Orochimaru was Anko's sensei (well, that we already knew); and the Forth was Kakashi's sensei. Eheh

Orochimaru is one sick bastard, but I agree with him at some points.

Knowing how this anime would go, Orochimaru will prevail sadly..

orochimaru reminds me dante in fma03 only in naruto style xD

and the third hokage is totally badass, can't wait to see what's that jutsu going to do.

but as people here says, the battle dragging to long, kishimoto have the same format of battle for too long now as it's stand: fight, reaching some point when the other is the underdog, remembering his past, power up, end of the fight xD

I absolutely loved the foreshadowing about Kakashi, Jiraiya, Orochimaru etc. Can’t wait to know all those characters a lot better!

I was getting a bit emotional at the end, I can't lie. I love how it flashed through all the teams and senseis from children to adults to the current teams and the hokage's words are very heartwarming

the third hokage has always been an incompetent and this chapter reaffirms it.

third hokage's effort and care for the village was making me emotional as well. he knows he has to win this because no one else in the village can compare to orochimaru's power. stakes are so high in this arc i love it.

The background of Orochimaru with the third hokage is very interesting, I also liked seeing the flashbacks of the old teams and how they grew.

Sarutobi still has feelings for his own student, I hope that doesn't get in the way.
