Mm, so they had Naruto fight against Sasuke in a fantasy match in this fantasy arc.

Yeah, there's definitely some resemblance of the part they fight from the original season.

Wow, this is probably the best episode of this entire filler arc so far. That part where Itachi jumps in the way of Naruto and Sasuke's clash.. I did not see that coming at all :'(

Next week seems to be a Naruto vs. Pain rehash, let's see how it differs.

Looks like they plan to retell the whole story in a alternative universe filler.

Naruto vs Sasuke was nice tho, looking forward to see Naruto vs Pain.

I liked this one, just Itachis death was a bit too random and too fast.

Naruto VS. Sasuke was too fast, but it was kinda epic.

Dafuq? So, apparently, whenever you get hit with a Chidori now, you turn into a ghost? Oh, damn. That mofo has got some power, if he can make people do that.

So, um... What is he going to do, now? Destroy the leaf? He doesn't have a reason. Compete with his brother? He's dead (at least in Sasuke's eyes, going by the Mangekyo). Maybe his goal will be to kill Fugaku, and usurp his position, as clan head?

As much as I loved these fillers before, I can't think of it continuing past this point, without getting dumb af, and--going by the whole Itachi scene--it's quickly heading in that direction.

So, in other words:

BEGINNING ARC/ZABUZA AND HAKU: DELETED

CHUNIN EXAMS: DELETED

SEARCH FOR TSUNADE: DELETED

SASUKE RETRIEVAL ARC: COMPLETED

KAZEKAGE RESCUE ARC: DELETED (?)

SASUKE/SAI ARC: (MOVED TO A LATER DATE, MOST LIKELY)

HIDAN & KAKUZU ARC: (MOVED TO A LATER DATE, MOST LIKELY)

SASUKE VS. ITACHI ARC: DELETED (?)

FIVE KAGE SUMMIT ARC: (MOVED TO A LATER DATE, MOST LIKELY)

SHINOBI WORLD WAR ARC: (MOVED TO A LATER DATE, MOST LIKELY)

(correct me, if I ended up forgetting any arcs)


So, so far, it's only retold one story arc, with major changes. I wonder how Sasuke will act from here on out? I was hoping it would be the case where he would go back to the Hidden Leaf, but...
"I have to work harder than anyone else to make it! I'll never catch up otherwise...! I want to be like you...! Like you. The strongest hero.""

I was really enjoying this episode until Itachi appeared and died and suddenly turned into a ghost, that made no sense whatsoever.

yea the Itachi Ghost thing was a little off.

I mean the point of this Arc as I see it, is even under different circumstances (Minato and the Uchiha being alive) certain events still happen, or Fate if you will.

Either way I really hope these dont go on too much longer. I was really really hoping that, being an alternate timeline, Sasuke would have been convinced and come back, thus ending the filler. But I expect these to go on for a while. Since the introduced the Akatsuki last episode, Pain will likely attack, Sasuke needs to get his Part II outfit. blah. I just want to return to the Main Arc, or at least a different filler. The Manga is done, there is really no need for this much filler.

Damn I thought this will end in 22 episode since no filler arc was longer than 22 but it seems like there could be 5-10 more episodes I guess basically catching up to the original story but come on just start up the original story already and I'm pretty hyped about the itachi arc coming up but I wish they would of made a whole mini show about that but because of that and probably one another big filler arc this show is probably not gonna end until September the earliest which is horrible. Also remember only 8 full canon episodes in 2015.

This episode was absolutely horrible. The fight scenes between Naruto and Sasuke were mostly the same as in "Sasuke recovery mission" arc, only lamer. The one scene that would've looked interesting was the clash between Kirin and Rasen-Shuriken, but they decided to do it off-screen. The scene with Itachi made no sense whatsoever. The animation was kinda mediocre, not bad though. But overall this episode felt more like an insult than a homage to the old arc.
At least that is my opinion.

I was actually excited for the filler but damn they didnt even try.The fights were badly animated.The clash between kirin and rasenshuriken was skipped.If you are just gonna waste everybody's time with worthless filler atleast animate it properly.MS/curse mark sasuke vs sage mode Naruto could have been a great fight if done properly.
And the chidori v rasengan clash, the effects were reused from previous episodes, just shows how lazy they were to animate this episode

This episode was stupid as hell. I always loved Naruto vs Sasuke fights but this is just horrible.
>Sudden astral Itachi (Really? Never knew a cursed chidori can send turn you into a ghost). Itachi would've thought of a better way to disrupt the fight. Looks like he died for the sake of the filler's plot.
>Sage Naruto would've lasted longer and would've kicked the hell out of both Cursed Seal Lv. 1 and Lv. 2 Sasuke.
>Terrible animation and battle choreography

Dahell.

I liked that they changed some stuff, but still... they almost copy-pasted the Naruto VS Sasuke fight -_-

I wanted to see MORE stuff changed, for example, Naruto winning/dying, or something like that

Well, at this point I'm dropping this anime all together because Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 already has the full ending in English which can be found on youtube.

Its a bummer that the anime took this route when it could have ended itself on a great note last year.

Alas, this is where the greed of airing a long series shows its true fangs.

They thought they'll get some nostalgia feels recreating those scenes. They're not going to get any from me. This is so stupid.

this was so lame... I know it is just Jiraya fiction (just a little changed original story), but it is such a pain to watch... I am lowering my vote for Shippuuden because all the fillers. If I wanted to watch side story I rather start it myself not be forced to watch in main anime.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

Itachi's death was pathetic. The idea of ​​these episodes is not even interesting, the main events remain the same only at different points in time. Jesus, how they managed to write such bad stuff and shove it in the middle of a battle that was so good.

Wtf even was that? Itachi just comes there and dies, (without leaving a body as if he was a reanimated soul) Orochimaru's just watching, Sasuke got the curse mark and evolved it and used it perfectly in a single episode. Also now he got the Mangekyo. Bruh what? Are they literally just recapping the entirety of Naruto until the war arc?
