Yea, it seemed like it was his brother. I really liked this episode. It's sad when someone dies. But I wonder.....who's gonna be the new Hokage???

This is deffinitly one of the most emotional episodes in the series.

Watching the third Hokage's Funeral.

I am glad for once everyone agree's on an episode actually being great. lol

Anyways things only get more complicated from here on.

At least Konoho is safe... for now

Brilliant episode, perfect from beginning to end I think. So, Itachi FINALLY shows up huh.. I've been anticipating this.

R.I.P. Third Hokage. I must admit i shed some tears, when everyone was paying their respects to the hokage. Shinobi doesn't cry at these moments, so i wouldn't have what it takes to be a ninja at all.

This was the best episode soo far! Gaara might have turned good?? Seeing everyone's parents was great! that shadow strangle jutsu was cool! sucks to see the 3rd hokage go though. And sasuke's brother!? and who was that other guy with him, things are getting interesting...

Dude, Gaara and Naruto's scene always gets me. I almost cried, man T^T
Rest in peace, Sarutobi~ I have the will of fire, too :3
That's why Kakashi is always late. He visits that place and remembers Obito and

Awesome episode~
Aw yis, Itachi at the end!!

I was bawling through this entire episode..I have to give it to the writers, they know exactly how to touch the viewers' hearts with this series.

And Itachi is making an appearance... Let's see what happens next!

This episode was so amazing but so sad! Seeing Naruto and Gaara bond over their past a little. Konohamaru's pain just broke my heart! Third Hokage's funeral was so sad. Cried way too much...

Man, revisiting this first series makes me better appreciate how awesome and powerful early Naruto really is. This episode answered a question that had been lingering over me for a while now and it makes the big picture really shine through. Obito...

Quite a sad episode, yet a good one. I quite like when anime include such rather gloomy episodes dedicated to someones death rather than just skipping and having it over with.

Pretty touchy and a start of something new! Let's see what's next.

I dont think thats the point of the shinobi rules. When a doctor goes home, is he still a doctor? Or is he a family person, being a father or a husband? When you are a shinobi the rules are there so you can achieve the objectives that are expected of a shinobi. But when you are mourning the death of a person, you are not a shinobi anymore, you are an acquaintance or friend or relative, someone who knew the person you are grieving.

Now that the Konoha hokage died by an "attack from other villages", I suppose a war began ... or maybe not, XD.
The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list.
The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story.

Ever since I witnessed the battle between Hiruzen and Orochimaru when Hiruzen used the Reaper Death Seal, it was like a Spiritual-like tug of war, because Orochimaru kept pulling his spirit back, while Hiruzen kept pulling it as well. But, it was very heartbreaking when Hiruzen died after claiming victory

The most exciting episode so far. And i never saw an answer as perfect as Iruka's to Naruto about altruism. Kishimoto was very careful.

Great episode and good closure to an awesome arc. It would be awesome if Naruto could remain as good as it has been so far but from what I've been told I know that's probably not going to happen.

People seem excited over Itachi. From what we've seen of him so far, he seems like an annoying edgelord, much like his brother. Well, not that we've seen a whole lot of him, to be fair. He might turn out to be a pretty cool character. Here's hoping he's not the most favorited Naruto character besides the titular character for nothing.

first, he have more more role in naruto part 1 to make you understand why he's such good character, second (read the spoiler only if you must)

I know this episode was probably filler but I really enjoyed it. It was really cute to see how the 3rd Hokage has impacted in all the people's lives and it kind of reinforces his whole idea of the village being one big family.

You've been like everyone's father... You have made Konoha what it is today. The villagers bearer of your will of fire. You were a father, Rest in Peace...
He has some mistakes but noone is perfect. He was a good hokage. Respect...
